So, I found this picture as I was searching my online photo albums and decided I really, really like it. This was taken a while back at karaoke, which I don't go to at all anymore.
So I tweaked the design around a bit. Mostly just changed the colors. What do you all think? I like it. So, yea.
It's only Tuesday. This sucks. Oh and to make this week so much better, I have jury duty Thursday! BLEH!!! I have to drive into Phoenix, during rush hour, to get to the court house. I'm so glad I only live about 8 miles from work and I don't have to deal with highway traffic. Hopefully I get on a good case. That might actually be fun. The last time I went I got picked for this case where we suppoed to determine if this guy who sexually assaulted a minor was a mental case. Well DUH! Of course he is. But they said they would be showing explicit pictures, and I don't want to even think about that, let alone see it! So I got off that jury and went home. Guess we'll see. I'll keep everyone updated.
My work has their Websense up again. That is the program that blocks all my favorite websites. Some days it works, some days it doesn't. Kinda tempermental, which is good for me.
I wonder what is going on this week for our girls night, which is also on Thursday, so I might really need a drink or two after jury duty.
So I ordered new sneakers for the gym, good ones unlike my Sketchers, and a new outfit to get me motivated to go. There is a gym around the corner from my place, so it's not like its a chore to get there. I'm just lazy. I'm going to start the day after I get my shoes, no matter what. Ok, unless if I have something planned prior, but NO EXCUSES this time!!! I'm paying for it, I might as well go. Not to mention I have been gaining weight since all I eat is basically pasta since it's the easy thing to make for dinner.
We need a new oven. The heating element is broken so I can't cook anything in the oven. The top part works, so pasta is even easier to cook. I bought these one-dish meals by Campbells which Ken loves (and so do I) but we need the oven for it. They are kind of high is sodium, but for the most part they are healthy, I think. Either way, we need a new one and they are like minimum $500. But there is a Sears Outlet store in Mills so we might go check that place out.
It seems like everything is breaking too. First the oven, now the cable modem is going. We keep losing connection and Cox said that it's because of the modem, not their service. Ken has had the modem for 4 years, so it kind of makes sense, I suppose. So that's another $80. Seems like everything goes at the same time. Either a couple big things, or a bunch of smaller ones. Oh well, it's really not that big of a deal.
Other than that, everything is pretty much the same. The guys want to go to Jillians this weekend, but I dunno. I hate driving. We'll see though. I'd rather stay local and go bowling. But that's just me. I like being close to home.
So I got bored and decided to change my blog. I know .. same colors and all. But, I am limited in what I can do while I am at work. Soooo, I will change it again when I get home .. maybe .. if I feel up to it.
Anywho, can people please leave comments because I want to make sure that I entered the comment information correctly. Thanks!
I hate Mondays. More so I hate Monday mornings. I am definitely not a morning person, especially if I get woken up by an alarm clock.
So this weekend Ken and I went to Flagstaff and Sedona. I wouldn't say it was a good trip, but it definitely wasn't bad either. I just think that Flagstaff is just over-done. We need to find a new vacation spot. It's just that there isn't much to do there, and Sedona never changes. There was snow there, and there were some flurries. All-in-all, it was nice to get away, but I also want to have a good time and do something. Not just sit around all day. I can do that at home. We ended coming home early yesterday, around 3. We usually spend the day in Sedona and don't get home until 8 or 9 or so. The other thing was that I, for some reason, wasn't in the best of moods this weekend. Probably something to do with allergies and pms or something. But that's not even what made the weekend not so good. So now, we have to decide where to go next.
Not only is it Monday morning, which means I am tired, but work has also blocked the HoR website and Myspace. I'd rather have the HoR website up than myspace, but there isn't anything I can do about that. It totally sucks. I have no way to pass the time other than actual work. But, with what I do, my mind starts to go numb around 10am. That's only 2 hours of working! I hate data entry. Man I need a new job :( No one wants to hire me!
I'm sure my time will come soon enough. Would be nice to get into a smaller company that's more relaxed and close-knit. Some place where I can wear jeans would be totally awesome. But I doubt that. I would also love to work from home .. haha .. I dunno if that would be good for me though. I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if I had a quota to meet and after I met that quota I would be done for the day. That would be hot.
Oh well. We'll see in time what will happen.
Woohoo! I am super excited for this weekend. And, no, not because it's St. Patrick's Day today. Tomorrow Ken and I are getting away. I love these weekends. Just get away, not too far, but not too close. There should be snow up in Flagstaff as well, so it will be nice to see for a bit. I love going to Sedona too. It's so pretty there!!
This week has just been .. well, ok, I guess it hasn't been horrible, but it was all that good either. Just like every week! Surprise surprise.
Meh ..
Maybe this weekend is what I need. A refresher. We'll see.
Everyone have a
safe and fun
st. patrick's day
(I'm off to get my massage!! What a way to start the weekend)
Man work this week is sucking big time. Though I took 1/2 day Monday and called in sick on Wednesday (man these allergies are kicking my butt). Ken has this week off cause he's on spring break, but he has to go in to work today.
This weekend is gonna be so awesome. Ken and I are heading to Flagstaff/Sedona for the weekend. I am so looking forward to this. I don't even care that it is St. Patrick's Day on Friday! I don't really drink all that much anymore so I'm not missing out on anything.
I really need a new job .. This seems to be the recurring theme in my posts. I really don't enjoy it at all. It's way too monotonous and I'm not even all that crazy about the people I work with. At least if I actually talked to people it would be different. But I don't have anything in common with the people I work with. Oh well. I've been looking and haven't really been contacted back. Just means that the jobs weren't right for me ..
So I'm debating on whether or not to go to Happy Hour tonight. If I am going away this weekend I really shouldn't so I have the money to spend up there. I think that is a good idea. On my way home I will stop at the grocery store and pick stuff up, that will be so much cheaper.
Maybe when I get home I will attempt to make some deviled eggs. I need to make them before next Wednesday cause we are having a pot-luck lunch that day. I'll make them tonight, see how that goes, and if they turn out well enough then I will make more on Tuesday evening. If not, I will go to the store Tuesday and buy them! haha.
I want to start making dinner home more often, but Ken's oven is broken :( The bottom heating element in the oven (the Baking element? not the broiling element) is broken and we can't seem to find the correct part. We tried using the model number that we found on the oven, but it doesn't seem to be the correct one. So we'll have to get a new one ...
So, at work they are giving us the option to work 4 10-hour days. W00t! I think I'd rather have mondays off. I hate Mondays. But that means I can't take days off unless absolutely necessary, and I will also have to go to bed AND wake up super early. If I get to work at 6am I would still be leaving at 4:30, which makes for a long day, but it's only 2 hours more. And likewise, if I sleep in until 8am, I would have to work till 6:30!!! No way!! So this will have to be a total dedication thing for me. I hope it works out!
Is it so bad to want to be babied when I'm sick? Most people do, I think. For me it's comforting when someone goes out of their way to make me food, or take me to get my medicine, or to cuddle a little more.
I went to the doctor on Wednesday, and it turns out that I just have really bad allergies. And they are going to last until around April ... Yay. I've never had allergies this bad before. Even in NY ... even living here for over 4 years. This is definitely the worst. Either way, my doctor gave me steroids to bring down the inflamation, Flonase for before bed, and over-the-counter Claritin for during the day.
Bleh. I'm all kinds of drugged up. Not to mention one of the side effects of the steroids is change in sleeping patterns. I went to bed last night after midnight and woke up this morning at 4:30 (maybe before). So I decided to lay in bed till 5 and then start getting ready for work. I clocked in at 5:55 this morning. The only thing I am worried about is crashing around noon and just wanting to sleep. But I suppose if that is the case then I can just leave work early or something. I'm sure they will understand (haha yea right!).
But, hey, if I make it through the day I get to leave at 2:30. Woohoo! Then ... I go home and crash lol.
And then tonight going to Dan's (if he cleaned) and having a BBQ with the guys. That should be fun! Except for the whole me being allergic to their cats ... Oh well. We'll see how it goes.
Hopefully it will be a fun yet relaxing weekend.
