I think I might have started a new Labor's Day tradition.  Went kayaking for the first time with eric, it was free at the local park, they drive you upriver and you paddle about an hour back. When I first got in I was a bit wary since if anyone is uncooridated to roll the thing it totally would be me but it turned out to be easy to do and we left ( Read more... )

Today was the day to celebrate my birthday at work, finally I get my paybacks for that $2 a month racked I am stuck in. I asked for Brownies, simple right, no hard to screw up right? Wrong! This crazy lady who runs the fund refuses to just have a simple normal birthday, she always has to try a new recipe. Despite my telling her I reaallly just want ( Read more... )

I just have a question since I am still fairly new to this whole office thing. A couple Fridays from now my office is holding a wedding shower for one of my co-workers. It is during work from noon-1 and you are supposed to bring a dish to pass. They also listed all the places on the invite she is registered so I guess we are all getting her ( Read more... )

Our closing date has been set for Feburary the 17th so we will offically have our new pad then. We are planning on moving the following sunday so I should be in the new place in less than two weeks. *jumps off walls* I am a terrible at waiting!

Ok so the closing date has been set for Feb 16th but the current owner is being difficult so we shall see. he hasnt found anything yet and thinks if we delay the closing date one more weekend he will be able to work it out a new place. If he found a house at this moment he could still possibly make it work with another weekend but pretty much he ( Read more... )

We should hopefully *fingers crossed* be moving the last two weeks in Februrary to our new home in Holt. We accepted the buyers counter offer so we just need to make sure everything goes well at the inspection and volia we shall be suburbanites. It just seems strange to own a house just eric and I. Our house to be is like 2.5 times the size of our ( Read more... )

I have returned from business. I actually had a lot of fun with Jenn though by the end I was getting tired. Gill if you are reading this I have no idea how you can be gone all the time, i needed a serious nap on saturday. Chicago when you arent paying is fabulous. We went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, Flattops and Bandera's. The last one was ( Read more... )

I finally got my haircut last night after letting it grow like a weed post-wedding. I went to the douglas j student place and surprising trusted a student with cutting off 5-6 inches (it now falls just below the shoulders) along with adding side bangs. Good news is I like it not to mention it makes getting ready so much easier in the morning. Am ( Read more... )

Ok, I nearly let myself go today at work but I reeled it back. Someone brought up GM because the newspaper was out with all of the cuts being made. My co-worker said that GM was going bankrupt because they pay their factory workers too much in salaries and benefits. She said she did accounting at some point at GM and she couldnt believe what they ( Read more... )

ok I’d written a great long entry that somehow I managed to delete. the sum of it is that I enjoy what I am doing at my job I just feel kind of out of place. This is due to the fact that everyone is very republican and very christian. When I say very christian I don’t mean have a strong faith, I mean more along the lines of thinking anyone who ( Read more... )
