Stuff and Things
Well, I haven't posted here in a while. I've been posting here. So there. I even unfunktified my main site so maybe perhpaps divineseduction can see it at work. Now with 100% less malicious code. Wheee!
Life in bullet points:
-Work has been hectic since the new year because I'm working on coordinating a huge shitload of sound work that should probably take a whole team six months to do. We have myself, my full time guy, and a contractor monkey and about 2.5 months. Wild, but fun. I've never been on this side of talent auditions, I used to be the freaked out person on the other side of it walking into the room. Have to say, it's nice being the one doing the casting. Starting tomorrow, I also will be working most of the time out of a downtown studio, which while fun and all, is a much longer drive. Bwah.
-I got back doing my strict counting calories thing and promptly lost 5 lbs the first week. The second week, due to female type circumstances, I gained 4 back. It's slowly going away but damn it, stop it! I'm hoping to be done losing weight sometime this summer. I'd really like to be. Getting skinnier is such a process, staying the same is much easier. They say its harder, but I did just fine at that all this fall/early winter. It would be really, really nice to really and truly be done losing weight and while still perhaps thinking "gee, I could keep working on those muscles", not think, "gee, it would be nice to lose 5-10-130 lbs". I'm still thinking somewhere in the next 10-30 lbs I'll get to a point where I think that (150-130) but we shall see.
-I've done 2 outside runs and I'm so excited for it to get springier so I can do it more. I am totally going to do a race sometime before my birthday. Just want to find one that doesn't start in the early morning....
-I've had MAD allergies the last 2 weeks. Apparently, cedar has been having record highs here and it has finally affected me. I hate taking medicine and I've been on claritin for the last 3 days. It is supposed to be on the decline this week, and I am so very much looking forward to it.
-We saw Mr. Garriot talk about his space adventures last Friday. I wrote about it here. Not trying to continually whore my blog, did that earlier, but don't feel like retyping.
-I do not have a history about being terribly political, but I almost feel lighter-happier somehow that Bush is gone. Maybe now we can start making some changes for the better. I'm interested to see what his first 100 days holds!
Think that's about it. Since the beginning of the month its been work, workout, eat super good most of the time, a few fun nights out, and mostly just trying to keep on truckin', making progress on things that must progress.
We just still need to figure out the wedding stuffs - that's probably the most stress-inducing thing in my life right now. Now, we are thinking Vegas for both parts and a little party here for friends who can't make it after. It just takes effort and time that I don't have to figure out how to get it all done for about 10 grand, while still feeling *grand and cool* enough to make me not feel sad. :P And honestly, I am completely overwhelmed. I would love to hire someone to just take care of it all for me - but then that's even LESS money to spend on the wedding itself. Argh. Every time I start thinking about it, I start almost feeling panicked and have an involuntary response of sticking my fingers in my ears and going "Lalalallalalala it will be fine if I just put it off more lalalalal". Which totally doesn't help because the next time I think about it, the date is even closer.
Ok, I seriously need to stop talking about this, I'm getting stressed. SEEE? THIS IS WHAT I DO. Argh. SOMEONE OUT THERE PLAN MY WEDDING FOR ME, PLZ KTHX? I want an island theme, I'd love the wedding part on a balcony or overlooking a courtyard outside (I guess I'm not 100% on that but I just don't want some cheesy indoor crappy chapel), and the reception part on a nicely island decorated area with an open bar and food somewhere in between caviar and a taco bar. The other problem is we have somewhere between, I dunno, 30 and 90 people because my parents want to invite a bunch of people that they don't know if they'll come. So bleh. I asked people to ask who would actually be interested in coming and and then they just ignore me and keep asking me if I've made plans yet. HARD TO PLAN! Ugh.
Ok, this is just seriously turning into a rant. Gonna stop now.
