Oh my moodswings! Yeah, it's about that time of the month, plus I've been feeling under the weather. I know it's not an excuse, but I don't have that much control over it. Seriously. The littlest things can make me really pissed off, really happy, or really sad. But I suppose these are just some of the wonderful "perks" of being female.
Anywho, I've been stressing out a bit because everything seems like it's a big mess. I have all of my stuff over at Kens' place, but there is no place to put everything. I bought bed risers yesterday that, well, raise the bed up, and so we can put more storage stuff under the bed. We bought shelves from Ikea (I so totally didn't freak out this time) to hang above the closet so I have a place for all my knick-knacks.
ARG! It's only 2:45 and I work until 4:30 .. this whole week just took for-freakin-ever. I just want to go home and sleep! But nooooo .. I can't. Soon enough I guess. I'm just kinda messing around until I have to leave. Make it look like I'm actually doing something. Working Hard or Hardly Working! Haha
I have an online photo album which is linked directly to my phone. The link is HERE but you need a passcode to view it. If you would like to view the pictures, just send me an email and will tell you what it is. Or, I suppose, if you know what the name of the town that I grew up in, that would work too.
I guess I'm done for now. Gonna get back to work .. yay .. so until next time .. TTFN!
Yes, I have about 1 hr and 15 minutes left of work. I normally get out of work at 4:30, but today I left the house a little later than usual. Good thing too cause about 2 miles or so down the road, in the direction I go to work, there was a car accident. I suppose if I left the house at the time I normally do, which was about 10 minutes earlier, that I could have been involved in that. Phew! I'm glad I wasn't! So I didn't get to work until 8:17, so I have to stay until 4:47. (Stupid time clocks)
After work today I get to go to the chiropractor. I so need an adjustment. My back has been sore from moving and yoga. It is so worth it though! Then after that, I'll be going to Andreas' to get my dressers. And then, hopefully take apart that other dresser in *our* room, rearrange the furniture, and then move my dresser in.
Now:
Hopefully:
So .. yea .. should be an interesting evening.
Oh .. I got my car washed yesterday!
Ok, so my last post was about WoW (World of Warcraft). It's a highly addicting MMORPG (Massive Multi-Player Online Role Playing Game). If you like these kind of games (ie Everquest, FFXI, Anarchy Online) DO NOT get this game, unless you have plenty of time, or you don't mind lack of sleep, possibly getting fired from your job, getting broken up with by your non-playing BF/GF/Husband/Wife.
Thankfully, both Ken and I play, together, and we have a blast. We help each other out so much.
We play on the server Dunemaul. I have a level 54 Troll Priest
Ken is a lvl 41 (almost 42) Orc Hunter. I'm glad he enjoys playing because when we first started dating, I stopped playing WoW becuase I loved to spend time with him, not on the computer. So now we can both enjoy it!
So this weekend was moving weekend. Yay. I got everything out the room at Andreas' and now it is sitting in the garage. I'll be heading over either today or tomorrow to get the rest. I threw out a lot, but kept a lot too. Ken and I had to get a couple storage boxes (the clear plastic ones) and shelving.
I can't believe he is doing this for me!
He's going to be spending days after class at school doing homework with Brandy since they have a couple classes together again this semester. So, I'll be home organizing my stuff, doing some of his laundry (cause I said I would help), and all that crap. Yay. Ok, not really.
If anyone wants to go out, please call me! I don't want to be stuck at home!
Last night was a lot of fun. I got to play WoW on my new computer desk. The bad thing was that Ken and I were in SM and Dunemaul decided to crash. Bad times.
So, we took a nap. Good solution to pass the time.
Jay called at 7-ish and asked if I still wanted to do Black Rock Depths. It was my first higher level instance. We only wiped 3 times, and thank goodness we had 2 Shamans (Dan and Jay), otherwise we would have had to run the whole thing a couple of times from the graveyard.
That didn't go too late, till about 11 or so, and then I went to bed.
Man I slept hard last night! I didn't wake up until 7 today. I mean, other days I will usually realize the alarm is going off at 6:30 and then hit the snooze a couple times till 7. But today, I hit the snooze a couple times, but didn't realize the time. Bleh I feel tired! I need sleep.
But, today after work, I need to stop by the grocery store, grab a box of heavy trash bags and head over to Andreas' so I can clean out my room. I'll have to have my dad come over with the CRV so he can help take some of the bigger stuff.
I am so not looking forward to this!
Okay, so my new computer desk arrived yesterday. I am so excited! But very, very sore from putting it together.
Ok, so it goes like this. I love putting together these do-it-yourself desk things. You know the ones .. yea made of press-board. I used to help my dad woth putting together entertainment centers, desks, and the like.
So, I decide that I want to put it together last night cause I hate sitting on the bed trying to play WoW. I proceed to get the 10 ton box ... wondering where I am going to open it up so I can put it together. Now, if you recall how I was noting how small Ken's condo is ... there is nowhere that I could put this thing together.
So I decide to open it up in the hallway, knowing that most of it is just putting the small parts together before putting the bigger ones together. Of course there are a bunch of smaller parts and a handfull of large pieces. Needless to say, most of the way I get things done well. Until I use screws that are too long for one part and it goes through the other side of the wood. Of course I don't realize they were too long until AFTER I re-read the instructions and have moved on. Too late to go back now! So on and so forth, I move into the bedroom becuase I have to put together the bigger pieces. It would be easier to put it together in there then try to move it from the hallway.
I gather everything up and move into the bedroom. After some, ok A LOT, of frustration, I get the desk together and now it's time to stand it up. ARG! Ken stops playing WoW to help (I might have bit his head off if he tried to help before then .. I get kind of focused and people annoy me). After tha it's putting together the drawer and the keyboard shelf and I'M DONE! YES!
Still .. nowhere to sit! I was starving so I grabbed some pizza and kinda took a breath ... sigh .. what a PAIN!
So eventually Ken and I head over to my storage room, aka Andreas' house. I grab my headphones and my chair, head to the grocery store, and finally back home. Kinda funny how it was around midnight by this time and I wasn't tired. Ok, not so funny cause I had adreneline from putting the desk together. (now I own 2 computer desks! man!)
I'm super excited now that my back won't hurt from playing WoW on the bed.
Ug.
That's how I've been feeling all week. Monday, Tuesday and today. I had a difficult time falling asleep Monday night, so that probably is contributing to my not so good mood.
But I do have some exciting news! I bought myself a new computer desk. Ok, ok, so I shouldn't have spend more money on another desk, but I needed one that would fit in the small space that is Ken's bedroom. Our bedroom.
I am very much looking forward to next year when we buy our house together. I love spacious-ness. I would love a bigger closet (of course!), an office, and a large master bathroom. mmmmmm ...
But anywho, I'm sleepy and I don't want to do much of anything. This day at work is just taking FOREVER. I'm not happy. But I get to leave in 30 min, battle traffic for 15 more, and then clean the bedroom. It's a mess. Partially my fault, partially not. Guess that's what happens when you live with someone. But I think once we get it under control, it will be MUCH better. It's rough living in a small space and having a lot of stuff. Crowded-ness.
So, I'm trying to pass the time, and figured writing a blog would help. So far, it's been like 3 minutes. ARG!
I eventually have to head over to Andreas' house and pick up my stuff, before this Sunday. I have all my clothes, my dressers and nicknacks. My sister can take 1 (hopefully 2) of the dressers, my parents are going to take my hanging shelves, I'm giving most of my clothes to goodwill, and the rest? ... probably to my parents' house. It has become my storage area.
I'm going to have to throw out most of my stuff, just cause I have no where to keep it, and I have to start with the rule, "If I haven't used it in 6 months, THROW IT OUT." Mostly I would think it would apply to clothes, cause I've been living at Ken's for a few months now and I don't think I am missing anything too terribly. Though it is "winter" and I don't have a lot of my summer stuff. I have to remember I will not fit back in a size 6, and if I do, I will not want to wear the old jeans that I am saving.
Sweet, only 15 more minutes. Ok, I'm gonna make it look like I am working until I have to leave.
TTFN
Kind of ...
I feel like I should blog today. I'm not sure why. Nothing exciting is happening, and I really don't think anything exciting will happen today. Though I shouldn't say that. January is NOT my month. I shouldn't be driving this month, but I have to get to work somehow.
So the story goes like this:
Last January I was driving to work from my parents house. I was on the freeway, cause it's the quickest, in the left lane driving along, when almost out of nowhere I see a freakin metal ladder laying across the left most lane (the one I was driving in). I don't really remember much of what happened next, cause it all happened so quickly. I remember hitting the breaks, knowing full well I was going to br running over the ladder in my '97 Nissan Sentra. Well next thing I know, I get hit from behind, get pushed over the ladder and end up in the center of the divided freeway, though I haven't hit the median.
I couldn't get out of the drivers' side of the car, not like I really wanted to move much. A ton of people stopped to make sure I, and the guy who hit me (who was driving a pretty new RED Dodge Pick-up), were okay. They must have called the police, cause I was just sitting there kinda stunned. When I realized what happened, I called my dad, cause he was still at home, sleeping, at this time. After that, I decided that I needed to get out of my car. Some people helped me to open up my passenger side door, cause I was too close to the median to open the driver door.
After we pried open the door (it was stuck cause the guy that rear ended me had pushed the back end of my car basically to the front) I just kind of sat there until the medics arrived. They did the whole routine, taking vitals and wrapping me up and putting me on that God aweful stretcher and putting me in the ambulance. My dad had still not shown up by the time they were taking me to the hospital (yay!). So on and so forth, I had X-rays of my neck, nothing critically wrong, though I know now that the accident messed up my neck cause I get really bad headaches now. Thank goodness for Chiropractors!!
Ok, so that was story #1. Story #2 is from the year previous to last.
My sister and I were on our way back up from Tuc-son. I had been going to school down there and was done, so she went with me to help pack some stuff up to bring home. It was kind of rainy out by the time we were getting close to home. And, of course, 90% of people in Arizona have no clue how to drive in the rain. So we were coming up on a red light. The people in front of me hit their brakes really quick, so I slowed down quick as well, making sure there was enough room in front of me. In case I got hit from behind, I don't want to have to worry about hitting the guy in front of me. So, lo and behold, the girl behind me rear-ends me. Yay again! She ends up pushing me into the center median/turning lane. The back of her little Toyota goes underneath the back of my Sentra. So my sister goes to make sure they are okay, and then calls the cops. She gets back in the car to avoid getting hit by a car, cause the people in Arizona don't know how to drive CAREFULLY when there has just been an accident. So we go through the whole Ambulance deal, and head to the hospital. I really hate those stretchers.
The girl ended up being like 16, and just getting her licence maybe 3 days prior, and it was probably a new car too. I wasn't paying too much attention.
So those car accidents are the reason I really don't want to be driving this month. I have this bad habit of getting hit from behind. My first major car accident I was rear-ended by a freakin Suburban, and out of that accident I got a herniated disk in my lower back. Yay! Back problems for the rest of my life! Woohoo.
So, driving is just not my thing. Wish me luck surviving this month!
Here are some pictures that Ken and I took in Oregon!

Sitting in the airport at 9:35am PST. Thank goodness they have Wi-Fi, otherwise ... who knows!
Our flight leaves at 11:35 and will get back into Phoenix at 3:10. I am SO happy I took tomorrow off of work. I will hopefully be able to get a good night sleep, instead of sleeping on an air mattress.
All-in-all this trip was awesome. I know it brought Ken and I so much closer together. I met his mom, and we get along just fine. I LOVE her Udon noodles. And I tried this deepfried Tofu dish at the Japanese restaurant Kens' sister, Lisa, works at. It was good!!
So, got home at about 3:30. I laid down at 4 and passed out. Slept until 8:30. Man I was tired. Ken went over to Adams and then to his Uncles' house. I still want to sleep! Gonna eat then play some WoW.
Ok, so first full day in Oregon ... not so bad other than the 24/7 rain. The landscape reminds me of Pennsylvania, so I like that a lot. Ken and I just kinda drove around for a bit, looked for Costco for something to do, but didn't find it. Ended up at Target and got misc. crap.
Other than that, didn't do much else. We were tired so we slept, after playing WoW.
That's about it.
Ok, so I have this amazing idea for a game. Well, I suppose it's not really a game, but hear me out.
Ok, so you know how, when you leave comments, you have to enter in word verification? Well, at the end of your comment, put in those letters and make a phrase out of them! It will be kind of funny to read the results!!!
Thanks all!
Man i get bored at work easily. Well, plus I have a new cell phone and a new hair cut!
So, I recieved a random comment on my blog about how someone else doesn't like MySpace blogging either. I decided to head to their blog just to see. The last post was about a book. I read her blurb about it, and what she copied from the inside cover of the book, then followed the link she had to the authors' blog. I started reading his blog, and wow. All these emotions came forth. And, yes, I know I am overly-emotional sometimes, but in all seriousness, check this out.
Look at this Blog. It is quite inspiring. It is also a book, which I am going out to buy today. You should too.
I've noticed that a couple people decided to move their blog to Myspace. That's cool with me and all, but I've realized that I personally cannot do that.
People on myspace seem to be a bit too touchy with other people's opinions. I like being able to speak my mind and not have to worry about facing a firing squad. Sure, sometimes I say things that might be controversial, or wrong in other peoples' minds. Things I say might provoke debate or lengthy discussion, and I might be proven wrong, or made to see why having my opinion on that subject might not make sense. This is totally fine with me. I don't mind if someone brings to light another way of looking at an issue and it makes me re-think what I had thought previously.
Either way, what I'm trying to say is that blogging on MySpace sucks. I have a direct link to my blog here on MySpace and if people are really interested in what I have to say, then they can come and visit and comment. I don't need to give the whole world easy access to my blog.
So, New Years has come and gone. I ended up staying in with Ken and just WoW'ing. And no, I am not addicted. But Ken definitely is. He is on a mission to get to lvl 40 before he has to go back to school, whenever that is. It's really cool that he enjoys playing. It's nice to sit down at night and play for a bit and then go to bed.
Thursday we will be heading up to SUNNY Oregon. I will be meeting his mom for the first time. I'm sure it will all go well. This is an important trip since we want to have a future together, and it's really important to me that I get along well with his parents.
Bleh, back to work.
