Jessica and Gavin's Big Day

Happy Birthday CROW!

To my buddy that is my brother from another mother.... and father.

Wedding Weekend Day 1

Oh man, the drive up was fun. Probably the best ride I've had with my parents in a long time. Not much arguing to speak of really. Then we went to Shannon and Neil's new house in Chicago. It is nice. They have a room all ready for me to move into, Here I come! Just kidding Shan. That is unless the parents kick me out too soon. Then we went to the Church for the rehersal. The usher besides the wedding couple probably has the most active role in the wedding party and has the least directions. I get to sit in the back. I have to escort the ladies. Are you here for the Bride or the Groom? This is going to be fun. Maybe. Oh yeah, dinner was at a place called Francesco's where we had about a 7 course dinner. Man oh man. It was wonderful but my only complaint is that we didn't know how much food was coming, so we were taking decent helpings at our table and then it kept coming and coming and coming... oh man. I was in paradise.

Can't wait for the wedding! And Ed! Let the good times roll.

4 times in a 24 hour period

I slept a decent amount yesterday. I did the nap during the day. That's normal. Then I got home from class, ate and then lay down in bed and I passed out at 9pm. I woke up thinking, hey it must be about time to get up for work. Nope, it was only 12:30am. I was like, whoa, felt like it had been hours and hours. I guess that I am just getting used to sleeping short shifts. I ended up staying up until 3am and then finally falling back to sleep. It's funky.

Less than a day. In 24 hours I will be on my way up to Chicago for a 3 day weekend of fun and celebration with family and friends. I'm stoked. I work tonight though. Which sucks. I would like to get a good night sleep before I go up there but it won't happen. I also am possibly going out after work this evening (12:30am)because of Izzy being home and all.

Also, for anyone and everyone's information. My cell phone is messed up currently. It no longer vibrates when it rings and the screen has gone out. I can get it to come up very rarely so if you get a text from me that means that for like a minute or 2 I am able to check them but it never lasts too long. I'm due for an official upgrade on December 9th so I will be doing that then. I'm going to try to make due. I did get all my numbers written down off of my phone so I should be good once I get a new phone. Does anyone have any suggestions of cell brands that are good and ones to stay away from? I have cingular.

Shocker

The IMDB page for Van Wilder 2

I never saw this one coming. If anything maybe another one with Ryan Reynolds but no. This one focuses solely on Taj. AND it comes out in just a few weeks(December 1st). How did this slip past my radar? It must not be advertised very well. I did read there is a small possibilty of a Ryan Reynolds cameo but I don't know for sure.

Probably to coincide with the 2nd movie in the franchise coming out they are releasing another edition of the original movie on DVD.

Van Wilder (Two-Disc Van Gone Wilder Edition)


The first one was awesome, I don't know if Taj can carry the whole movie with the charisma of Van Wilder. Might be worth checking out. I know that because of seeing this I really want to pop the edition I already have in and watch it.

Just The Way You Are
( Billy Joel )

Don't go changing to try and please me,
You never let me down before.
And don't imagine you're too familiar,
And I don't see you anymore.

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble,
We never could have come this far.
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times,
I'll take you just the way you are.

Don't go trying some new fashion.
Don't change the color of your hair.
You always have my unspoken passion,
Although I might not seem to care.

I don't want clever conversation,
I never want to work that hard.
I just want someone that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be,
The same old someone that I knew.
What will it take till you believe in me,
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you and that's forever,
And this I promise from the heart.
I could not love you any better,
I love you just the way you are.

Don't Mess With Texas

Oh boy, what a long freakin day. And I'm not even working the night job today. I was in charge all day at the day job. Let's just say, I'm pretty stressed. It was nice having a few sets of extra eyes but yeah, I pretty much ran the show from beginning until end. Circus might have been a better way to put it. At one point I thought I was going to lose my voice, it was getting hoarse. I'm doing alright now though.

Izzy is home from Alaska for a week. I'm going to hang out with her tonight and whoever else decides to come out on a Tuesday night. I was going to stay in, yeah, that isn't happening. Never seems to work out. I don't know the last time that I was able to just sit at home and relax, there is always something to do or someone to see. Don't get me wrong though, I live for seeing my friends which is why I never give myself the rest that I deserve. I'm a glutton for punishment. It builds character.

Texas first became a state in 1845. Later, it seceded from the United States during the Civil War and was readmitted as a state following the war. Yes Texas did enter the Confederacy and send troops to the war.

Gone Daddy Gone

The weekend is over already. Flew by! I did all the shift director stuff tonight by myself with minimal guidance. Now, I just need to work on speed. My pay raise goes into effect next pay period. Yay. I like money. Tomorrow I have to pay a lot of bills. Boo! I hate bills.

I get to see 2 of my sisters, my brother in law, my future brother in law, Ed and Amanda, and Jessica and Gavin (the married couple to be) and the W. Family ALL this coming weekend. I am very excited. Because they are not coming to me, I am going to them. Weekend Vacation. First time I will have had 3 consecutive days off in a row since the second week of June.

He's going the distance

I must have done something wrong. I think working so much and not being available has hurt me. I feel like a stranger in my own life.

Late Late Late

I got a wake up call this morning. I goofed. I was late for an all staff work meeting. I apparently turned my alarm off in my sleep because I don't remember hearing it but my mom does. I hadn't told her of the meeting before hand so she didn't know I needed to be anywhere. The alarm should have woke me up though. I even set it down away from my bed. I think I'm going to need to invest in a good loud backup alarm that will be placed no where near my bed.

I do get to go into work earlier than normal today too. Nearly 10 hours I will be there today when it is all said and done.

I'm not that stupid little person

Uneventful night. I worked the video store. Then I hit up DH. Happy Birthday to Lora W. Headed to Moho's after that. Then I headed home. I sometimes wonder why I even go out. It is a habit I suppose. I'm afraid that I will miss out on something spectacular. I hate hearing the stories that start out with "Oh man! You should have been there!" Know what I mean? Nothing ever happens though. At least not to me. Why do I go out? Beats the heck out of me...

It's getting harder and harder because I'm not fond of it.

Everyday Liars

I think that people lie everyday. If you don't then you are a rare exception. When people ask, "How are you?" and you respond in kind with something along the lines of well, good, or fine. You're more than likely just saying that because you know people don't really want to hear about it. By not sharing and keeping the truth bottled up that makes us all, liars.

Shaking and a Grooving, Baby

My hands shake. They have for over a month now. Sometimes not as bad as others. My students have noticed, a friend or two has noticed. I wonder if it is serious.


My big toe on both feet have been numb and tingly too.

I know who I want to take me home

Sometimes I wish that I needed to be babysat. But then I pride myself on not needing to be looked after.

I can't compete. I wish I could be more...

I will go down with this ship

Friday, Friday, Friday. What can I say? Hmmm, Did board game night last night with a few friends. That was a good time. We played Piece of Mind and Cranium. I didn't win but I didn't do to shabby either. Kirsten made some great chili and I had a few adult beverages. Then I headed down to DH to chill for a while. Then went to the Lace for 50 cent Natty Light Draft night.

Tonight, I'm working at DH as usual. In 1 week I will be in St. Charles Illinois for Jessica's wedding. I can't believe that it is so close already.

You took your coat off, It started to rain

I sometimes pray for my sanity.

Better Late Than

Well today was Josh's birthday. This is my first official time I've been on the computer today so here is a birthday shout out to him.

Happy Birthday Josh!
