I "started" my online class yesterday. So far so good! It doesn't seem complicated at all. And it helps I know a bunch about the internet and computers and stuff. I posted my bio and already did the homework for this whole week. It helps that I can access everything at work. If not, I'm sure it would be so much more difficult!

I asked one of the tech guys if he could install Outlook Express on my machine so I can access the newsgroups easier. Otherwise I have to do it all online and it's a bit more confusing. So, we'll see how that goes by the end of the day.

I went to the doctor yesterday becuase I have a swollen Lymph node on the right side of my neck. Kinda funny that the doctor said exactly what Ken did which was that I was probably getting sick and this was my bodys' natural way of fighting it off. Makes a ton of sense to me. The doctor said to get sleep and take allergy meds because he said that it looks like my sinuses are all red too. I really hope I don't get sick.

I might also be feeling worse because I haven't been getting enough of sleep. BUT I have been getting to work rather early. I've been trying to wake up earlier each day. I'm going to turn back my alarms today I think too.

Let's see ... after work I have to stop by Andreas' house and pick up some stuff, and then Mom wants to go get pedicures. I might postpone the latter though because I just want to go home and sleep today. I feel like crap :(

Other than the whole sick thing, things have been totally awesome. Ken and I have been going out a bit, just for dinner and such, but it's been great.

Friday is Mom's birthday and we're going to have Rigatoni ala Vokda for dinner and then dessert. We're going out for the traditional Birthday dinner next week. We kinda figured going to El Paso BBQ on Good Friday wouldn't be such a good idea. Good because no one would be there, but bad because can't eat meat. Even though we were raised as Lutherans, my Mom is Catholic and it just wouldn't be right.

World of Warcraft
update


So I am very excited! I have almost all of my Devout set. All I am missing is the mantle. Ken bought me the Bracers (he is so sweet) so I could start my upgrades quest. I ended up doing the first one and got my Virtuous Bracers, and now I'm on the second quest. . . yay!

Ken has almost every one of his hunter tier-1 Beaststalker set, and a bunch of his tier-1.5 Giantstalker set. I think that's how it goes. I know nothing of other classes!

It's been so much fun in this new guild becuase I am able to get all these set pieces and do the lower-high level instances. I really miss doing the 20- and 40-man raids though. Mitten keeps messaging me to do AQ and stuff but every time he asks I'm either in another instance or going to bed! frown!

I wish I had some pics to send, but I don't ... so deal! haha. I'll try to get some tonight of me and my new set, and my new pimp hat, and stuff :)

Vacation!!

Oh yea :)

Only 1 month and 6 days till we go back to the East Coast (Pa) to visit family! I am sooooo excited. No work, relaxation, family, possibly visiting NY ... Ken meeting the family - that should be quite interesting!!! I'm sure it will go over well. Maybe even see Kens' cousin Doug, but I'm not sure about time restraints with that.

Sleeeeep!

Ok, so I'm exhausted, but somehow managed to make it to work by 7:15 this morning (instead of 8am). I suppose it's mostly my fault, but still ... I didn't end up getting ready for bed last night till around 2am. But, of course, that's not when everyone else wanted me to go to sleep. Ken was still up playing games since he didn't have class or to work this morning, his roommate decided he and his brother were going to cook and do laundry (at 2am), and my iPod battery died. frown. I sometimes have a hard time getting to sleep, especially if I am over-tired, and last night I thought was going to be like that. But after getting comfortable I totally just passed out. And just like every morning, this one came to quickly.

But all-in-all this weekend was good .. and interesting. I was supposed to meet a friend out for drinks on Friday, but I was so tired I ended up falling asleep early (sorry Jen). Saturday was no different. Slept in till noon, *drama*, and then relaxed and took a nap until Ken came home. It seems like sometimes I can't get enough of time with him. But it's wonderful when I do.

Yesterday was nice as well. Slept in, played some more video games, went to "non-happy-hour" lunch *frown* and then met up with the family (incl. Doug's parents who were visiting from PA) for dinner at Honmachi Grill. It was a good time. Then went home and played more video games, and the rest is history.

*Yawn*

So .. sleepy. At least I get out of work at 3:45 ...

Why it's Greased Lightning!!!

I just heard the Grease mega-mix :)

T.G.I.F.

I am so excited ever time Friday's run around. We get to wear jeans and we get breakfast. Not to mention it's a pretty relaxed day. I make sure I work even less hard on Fridays than on any other day.

Fridays also mean that the weekend is here! Yes! The downer to that is that Ken usually works on Saturdays. I usually spend those days at my parents or with my sister. So, it's not like I don't have anything to do. But those days that he doesn't work are so special. It's the one true day we get to spend together doing whatever we want. Ken's schoolwork is saved for Sundays, which is cool too. He likes to go to the library at school and study. I've gone with him since I stopped DnD'ing. It's nice even to just sit in the same room as each other, even though one or the other is busy with something. I like the time.

So .. ya .. Fridays. I also like Fridays because I am able to stay up as late as I want plOW'ing. Last night I was up way late playing (after 1am), so I am super sleepy today. I just got myself a Diet Coke for the caffene and sugar.

Oh so for breakfast today they actually had something substantial, not like cereal, which I have to eat dry, or muffins and pastries. Today they had small breakfast burritos. They're actually pretty decent. A bit on the spicy side for me, but I still eat them because I like eating in the morning.

I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for lunch today. I usually go out with my parents, but we ended up going out yesterday because my mom had a meeting today. Decisions decisions. I'm trying to eat healthier because I feel like I am gaining too much weight lately. Which is why I really want to start going back to the gym. I remembered my gym bag so I really think I am going today.

So back to lunch, either a sandwhich from Safeway or a hamburger happy meal from McDonalds .. bleh. I'm not in the mood for either of those. Maybe that CrunchWrap Supreme from Taco Bell. I so just don't want fast food!! But what else is there? Applebees? I had that yesterday with my parents. Not to mention a bit more expensive.

Man ... I'm lazy so I will probably end up going to McDonalds. How bad is that. But hey if I go to the gym I can kind of justify that! Right? Kinda?

Oh well. Laziness is my disease. I'll try to work on that one first.

A bit better

I don't think I'm in a better mood today. Still grumpy cause I'm tired, and what I'm wondering is - why can't I get to sleep before midnight?!

Yesterday I decided not to play World of Warcraft (or plOW as my guildies call it). I got home, separated Ken's laundry, threw in a load, and then met my parents for dinner at this local Polish restaurant. I wasn't impressed with the Pierogies AT ALL. They were waaaaay too sweet. But the kielbasa was amazing. I will have to go back and try other things. They might not be too bad.

After dinner I came back home and continued with laundry. I did some straightening up around the room, thinned out my closet by taking out the t-shirts, folding them, and putting them in a drawer. I took out my long sleeve shirts and 2 sweaters I didn't take to my parents and put them in storage bins under the bed.

So now all I have in my closet are work clothes. Which makes sense to me. I'm going to have to eventually go through and get rid of the clothes I don't wear. But not anytime soon.

That was my night. And I figured by 9pm I'd be tired, but no. I wasn't. I was going to sign on and plOW for a bit, but the server was down for maintenance. So, since I couldn't sign on, I decided to plug in my iPod and read a bit.

Now by this time it's 11pm and I'm still not tired!

I try going to sleep, and I do for about 30 minutes, before I get woken up. Yay. As if I couldn't sleep before, now I knew I'd never get back to sleep! :(

Finally, it's after midnight now, I get to sleep.

I hate mornings.

Good day turned crappy

Wednesday .. hump day. Only 2 days left of the work week. Then the weekend flies by, and then its the same thing over again. Sounds boring doesn't it? I guess it's the time after work that mean the most. The time spent with family and friends. I enjoy that time a lot. I love spending every night with Ken. He always knows how to make me smile if I've had a bad day at work. He's helpful and understanding.

... great ...

Well, I was having a decent day ... I'm sorry if I pissed you off.

Passion Pics!

This is how I feel right now ...
Yaarg.

That is all.

Ok, not really.

I feel so totally tired. I've been going to bed way too late lately. And I've been eating not so healthy. And I haven't gone back to the gym yet (frown). I really need a kickstart .. I feel so demotivated. Maybe it's just today. I will see by the end of the week.
