The hockey game last night was a lot of fun. The Coyotes played the Oilers. At first, the Coyotes were playing really poorly and they were really sloppy on their passes and plays. But by the end of the game they were doing really well. They won 3-2. Yay!
I also got to see the new Cardinals stadium. It is freakin huge! Nice looking, from the outside.
I am so happy today is Friday. Last night, when I got home from the game, I had the worst headache. And the worse thing is that I had it when I woke this morning as well. Yuck!! I took some medicine and I feel much better now, so I am happy.
After work, Ken and I are gonna meet up with my parents and relatives and head over to Rawhide. I'm excited to see the new location, but mom says it's not the same as it was. I hope I'm not too disappointed.
I will hopefully be uploading new pictures to my gallery soon. So I will let you all know when I do!
Move 'em on, head 'em up, Head 'em up, move 'em out, Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide!

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I actually blogged. I mean, you can see I have some pictures that I took with my camera phone of my new haircut and my new glasses, but those aren't substantial posts.
My relatives are in town until Saturday night. They arrived early last Saturday morning. It was nice to spend the day with my cousins, Kim and Kelly. Sunday they all, inluding my parents, went to Vegas. They got back late Tuesday night. I guess they are still doing the construction by the Hoover Dam and my mom said it took them 4 hours to go 1 mile. That is just crazy!
Tonight I am going to a hockey game with my friend Dan. I don't know who Phoenix is playing .. is that a bad thing? lol I haven't been to a sporting event in so long!! I guess the last game I went to was a Diamondbacks game last year? I think that's right. Wow. Crazy! So it's going to be cold there, at the hockey arena. Brrrrr! I brought extra clothes just in case I'm cold. Well .. who am I kidding?! Of course I will be cold! haha
I talked to an academic advisor at ASU in the College of Design last week as well. We had our Q3 event at work, so we had 1/2 a day off. I went after work to see her. She told me very good and promising things! I have a 1.86 GPA .. ok, not so hot, but I can fix it! I need a 2.0 GPA to get into the College of Design, so she said I have 2 options: I can reapply to get into the College of Liberal Arts and Science, take a few lower division classes I need anyway, then when I get my GPA to 2.0, apply to the College of Design; or I can take a Winter Session class, one that would satisfy a lower division requirement, get my GPA up that way, and then start in the College of Design in the Spring.
I decided to year my glasses to work today, since it's only half a day. Do I look smart?
Things have been going well lately. Nothing bad, nothing spectacular. I'm content for the time being.
I went to yet another temp agency yesterday. I need to get out of where I am now. It is toxic, and I am bringing that into my home. I don't want that. And the way to do that is to find a new job. It doesn't look good that I have only been here for about 4 months, but this is beyond my control. I suppose I could just stay here and deal with it. It's not a constant thing, but when it happens, I am just plain miserable. And that is not fair to those who have to deal with me.
I also happened to come across a new eatery. It's called Yogis Grill. It's a Teriyaki and Roll place. So, they have teriyaki meat, sushi, and, my absolute favorite, Udon. I got the Beef Udon. It was good, but not as good as the Udon Ken's mom made when we went to see her. Mmmmm
I got a lot accomplished yesterday. I deposited my 401K check from my last job in our joint checking account, closed out my savings account that I don't use and just wasted my money with fees, and went to CVS to get deoderant. I'm not sure if I like the deoderant though cause it's vanilla scent, and not very appetizing. A little sickeningly sweet. Oh well.
Saturday I am going to a bachelorette party. It's an all day thing, starting off with pole dancing lessions, then lunch, lounging by the hotel pool, dinner, and then out on the town. I will be bringing my video camera because something funny is definitely bound to happen. I probably won't be involved in the class because I am trying to watch my spending, and I don't want to watch my money fly out the window.
I will have to beg and plead with Ken to go biking again. I haven't been too active in asking, so I have to start. The evenings have been getting cooler, so it's a perfect time to go. I really need to learn to ride confidently. It's a whole new thing to me to have my shoes lock into the pedals. I don't want to fall again if I have anything to do with it.
I'm gonna go get my new glasses tonight. That will be fun.
So, I find it to be funny that I was so positive in my last post that I was going to have an awesome weekend, and then it turned out to be really crappy.
First off, my boss, who is actually just in a lead position, got on my case again. I was on the phone with Ali, confirming our plans for the evening, when she came over to my desk, slammed her hand on it, and said get off your personal call (in a not so nice way). She *emailed* me to apologize for it. I went to my manager to tell her, but the bad thing is that a lot of them are all friends, so they kind of stick together. So that was basically a lost cause. That is when I decided to look for a new job. So if anyone knows of any, please let me know. I don't like working where I get in trouble for every little thing. And it's not even like I don't get my work done. I'm a hard worker and I have very high keying numbers. But whatever.
Then, I had an appointment with an Academic Advisor at ASU in the school of design at 3:30, so I left work at 3. Turns out that the office closed at 3 due to an "unfortunate circumstance." Yeah, right. So that put me in an even worse mood.
So I figure what better way to relax then go to our Girls Night Out, blow off a bit of steam, have a few drinks and have a good time. But no. That didn't happen either. I was on my way there when I decided to hitch a ride with Ali, since I was right by her place. That was mistake #1. So we get there, grab some tables and order drinks. Turns out, Girls night consisted of some random guy and his friend, who decided to get on my case. Bad idea.
Now, I was stuck at the bar with no car. When I finally got a hold of Ken, he picked me up and brought me home. That was around 6, and I slept until about 10. I read my book and then went back to sleep around 12.
In the morning, Ken took me to get my car, I went home, took a shower, laid back down for a bit, then had an eye doctor appointment. After that, I went over to Mike's for a bit of gaming. I'm so excited for our next session.
I ended up going with Mom and Dad down to the outlet stores in Casa Grande. It was nice to just get out for a bit and not be stuck in the house.
Sunday was basically the same old, same old. But Sunday night I was supposed to go all the way to Anthem (about an hour and a half drive one way) for a friends' surprise party. I didn't end up making it mostly because I had bad cramps and partially because I didn't want to drive all that way by myself. I could have hitched a ride with one of the guys, but with what happened on Friday, I didn't want to get stranded in Anthem without a means of transportation. And since I wasn't in the best of moods, I didn't want to spoil everyone elses fun.
Monday was boring and I didn't do anything. Raided a bit, but that's about it.
So .. all-in-all .. that was my crappy weekend. Hopefully things will be better for the next one!!
It's Friday! And a Friday before a 3-day weekend! Horray!!!! AND I get to leave early today because I have my appointment at ASU! So I leave work at 3:00, my appointment is from 3:30-400, and then I head to the Regal Beagle for Girls Night with Ali and friends!
I'm probably not going to make it a late night, one because I'm freakin tired and two because I the later I stay out, the more money I spend. I have to stop off at the ATM and take out money and pay with cash, that way I can limit myself. I R so SMRT.
This weekend is gonna be fun. I mean, 3 WHOLE DAYS of fun! I want to go ride my bike again, too.
Saturday I have eye doctor, then heading to Mike's for a one-on-one gaming session. Then .. uh .. WoW? I guess. Sunday, same thing. But Monday ... whoa ... it's like a whole other day! I dunno what is going on yet, but it will be fun!!!!
