Waiting for the winds of change to sweep the clouds away
Cookie to whoever can name the song this posts title comes from.
Well, promised a real update. Most of this was written over being at work, so bare with me if it seems a bit scattered. I’ll try to address things in a bullet like format so the people who stalk my journal, or my friends who really read it, can skim and ick out what they want faster.
Vicki’s wedding
Guys, I really can’t express how just all around awesome the day was despite the little blurps that came up. I had fun hanging out with the bridal party and trying to help keep things on order. I can’t wait to see how their photos turned out. The ceremony was lovely, and Jon and Nick were a blast to sit by. Vicki looked so pretty, and I think I won the best that Jason cried before her up at the alter. The party bus was fun, and despite the small amount of rain, Vicky still got her outside pictures at a lovely location, and I got next to no mosquito bites. The reception was just as lovely, and everyone seemed to be laughing and having fun. I got to meet more of Jason and Vicki’s family and friends, and I think I made a good impression. The food was to die for, and the open bar was fun, and Jason picked out some wicked music. I got to dance the YMCA with him, and Jon and I cut a few rugs. All in all, wonderful day! I’m hoping to get more pictures to post soon.
My Diet
Losing weight proving to be a little harder then originally planned, but I think I’m finally getting there…slowly. With everything being so stressful I have been unable to focus on reaching a weight goal. Thing shave been slowly teetering back into my realm of control (or so far out of it I have just given up) and have bee a bit more focused on watching what I consume and how much. I won’t be at my goal weight by my birthday, but hey, life happens, so long as you keep trying right?
My grandma
My grandma isn’t doing well. Actually, she isn’t even doing a sliver of ok. Cancer has gotten her, and I am expecting to have to attend her funeral in early to mid July. A tad morbid to think about, I know, but last I talked to her she can’t eat, she can hardly talk, and I couldn’t even carry on a one minuet conversation with her. At this point, if she has made her peace and is ready, then I think I will be ok. Doesn’t mean I won’t bawl and be upset and moody, but I will over all be ok.
Jon and I
Jon and I are doing well. In August it will be three YEARS we have been together. Shocking no? I guess looking back on it, it’s not all that shocking to me. We have had our fair share of ups and downs as any couple has, but we have handled them, while not in the best manner at all times, well. Overall I find myself changed for the better due to him, despite how much he can drive me up a wall and out the window. We still spat and lash out every now and again, but to be perfectly honest if we agreed on everything and NEVER fought, I would be a wee bit worried, as any couple I have ever met that doesn’t is grossly unhealthy deep down and never end up together in the long run. I’m still very much in love with my Fatch, and I can’t wait for August *hugs him and luffs him* Chu~<3.
Work
Manpower still giving me the utter run around, but at this point I have stopped caring and just am in the “fuck you I’m mad” stage. Apparently now, once again, I have direct deposit. I frankly give up, and so long as I am paid within a week of my payroll ending I’ll count it as a blessing that the mental defect they have in their payroll department got a gold star, cause he got it right “enough” this week. The actual job though is still not bad. Found out once I am hired on as a Metavante employee I can drop down to part time if I want. Guess what that means? I can go to school! I will cover school in another topic. More or less, job is great, can’t wait to get hired on. Not something I want to do forever, but for now, pays bills and allows me to get where I need to be in life. For this, I am thankful.
School
So, I have really been itching to go back to school for the past few weeks. Nothing big, but maybe an online class or two for just basic stuff like Math or English just to start slowly start chipping away at the credits. I have no idea WHAT I would go for at this point, but something is better then nothing. I still would love to be an art therapist or teacher, but there are smaller things I would be ok with to, like florist or pastry chef. Dream job would be marine mammal trainer, but I have NO idea how about getting into that.
Summerfest
Went to Summerfest on Thursday the 26th. Went with Jon and Tom, met up with James and Nate. Saw One Lung…overall a good time was had by all (least me). I actually BOUGHT myself something this year outside or food. I fawned over Harleys and got a small sunburn on my shoulders. Food was good, music was good, got to see Tom, and all around, had fun.
Birthday
I’m turning 21 on July 5th. I will be working the 4th, the 5th, and then SUPOSEDLY ren fair on the 6th, though no one is helping me plan it. I think Jon and I may take my car and head up by ourselves. I know Amber and Nick are going to try and be there. I know Gen and David are planning on it as well. We may take James up with us so Gen and David can have them time. Other then that, no other real plans. My coworkers are maybe taking me out drinking for a bit at midnight on my birthday. Not sure where, just was told “someplace of the east side”. I’m not going to try and get drunk, and I’m not going to allow myself to get so blitized I pass out or throw up. I don’t want to. I threw up once, that’s cool, not something I want to do again. If you are curious as what to get me (if you want to, I’m not “expecting” gifts really from anyone, as half my friends don’t’ even know it is my birthday) either ask me please or ask me for a generic list of things that I do want. My family is waiting till I move out to help me buy stuff for my apartment. So that might be a good plan.
Ren Farie
Will most likely be there Sunday opening weekend. I don’t have a costume. Wolfie’s mom is making me a chemise, but I was unable to get the bodice I wanted (MAX in MAX-01, MAX-378, MAX-399, or MAX-J-40 or PIRATE in PIRATE-382) from www.moresca.com , but oh well. I’ll just have to keep trying right? Other then that, not sure WHAT days I’m going. If you want me to go a certain Sunday, please speak up ahead of time so I can plan ok? Also, on the 6th I’m hoping to get to see my friends, as well and hang out with Kiro and Codey. If I don’t spend the whole time at the fair with you, please know it’s not because I hate you or are running from you, it’s because we are all grown up and we can branch off and do our own thing for a bit. I have quite a few people who I know are going to be there, and each one wants a bit of my time. I have no problem doing this, so long as every shares. If you get pissy with me because I tell you I will be back latter, please do me a favor and leave me the hell alone the rest of that day. I’m not going to fair to have the day ruined by other people. I am first and for most going to ren fair WITH MY BOY FRIEND, secondly to see my friends. If all my friends want to hang out in a great big group, that’s wonderful, but not expecting that.
Other then that, not to much else is up. I could rant and bitch about a few things, but I won’t. No real reason to. I have enough crappy and stressy stuff in day to day life, I don’t need to reflect on it to much. If I do, I just become bitter and even more upset, and that’s not healthy for anyone within arms reach or earshot ( and that can get kinda far as I have a cell phone). Life is life, trying not to complain, and umm….Weeeeeeeee?
