Avoiding work as usual…but time's ticking. *sigh* I hate paperwork…

Taking Mathew out tonight, a day early for his birthday, per Katy. Since she has to work on his birthday tomorrow, she wanted to celebrate tonight. East of Chicago pizza buffet…here we come (I can see my wedding dress being let out now for sure!)

Excited to have finished the invitations and the RSVP cards for the wedding and giggling because we went "silly" with the rsvp cards. We put, "Gladly Attend, Regretfully Decline, Regretfully Attend, Happily Decline" and my favorite" "Think you just want presents" lol

sending *get well* vibes to Taz.

telling Missy that Honey Pie is another Beatles song, though from the White Album and not Abbey Road.

telling David that I might still do Here Comes the Sun, but actually Honey Pie is more fun to sing :)

at my dad's after almost a month. getting ready to relax this weekend.

glad I'm not working till after the recital.

looking forward to the facial and haircut I'm getting tomorrow. I deserve them.

Just saying hello…

Lobsterized after spending the whole day at a car show.  I am sunburned and my legs are sore from walking - but it was all worth it…

Feeling very strong after doing something I needed to do for ten years…

Very amazed at the doors the above action has opened for me…

So happy to be single, although I am so happy for all the people who growing in their relationships. ..

Loving my new home and bbq…

Happy that my mom and I have reached a good place in our relationship…

VERY pleased that my mom has finally really stopped smoking and thinks that's why our relationship has improved (she has lied about smoking for over ten years now)...

Loving life and all the people in it, and totally digging on the fact that so many of the most important people from my past are coming back into my life…

Feeling stronger and happier than I think I've felt in my entire life…

wishing peggy continued happiness, wellness and that her relationships keep getting better!

tired after a couple of days full of very tough yardwork…..

looking forward to the next week…then dreading the three weeks that lead up to my class reunion event as they will be very busy and stressful….

excited to see guster thursday night!

Thrilled for Peggy and all the good happenings in her life!  And giving her *high fives* for telling the man what she did…

Feeling mellow after a nice weekend with my girl.  Add the fact that the weather was beautiful and I am a happy girl.

So glad that the shoulder surgery is tomorrow.  I want to be on the road to recovery damn it!

Feeling like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop… Nathan leaves in less than four weeks now. I'm having nightmares and generally just not doing great.  I sure hope I can handle this whole thing. 

awww..*hugs to jen*.....

totally avoiding work at work…..

being entertained outside my window by a bus loading up for a brewer's game from the tavern up the hill…

dreading the annual 4th of july mother in law birthday snorefest at our house….

wondering how taz is doing on her surgery day and wishing her quick recovery….

Giving Jen a hug…and collectively holding my breath because this day is coming for us with Jordan…

Hoping that everything went well for Taz…

Taking a breather as I get everything together for my little gal pal who flies out very early in the AM to spend a month in New England…

Annoyed that Delta charges $200 for an unaccompanied minor on a freakin' NONSTOP flight.  I put her on the damn plane and my father will be at the gate in Boston…

Irritated with the electric company…we have at least one day EVERY.SINGLE.WEEK…that we spend without power…I am going to murder someone…quite possibly James with customer service…what a dickhead.

Tired from a really fun weekend…glad that this is a short week…have lots of fun things going on for the upcoming weekend…

feeling dopey…yeah for narcotic pain relief

hoping that once the nerve block wears off tomorrow i don't feel like killing people

sending big hugs to Jen…

*big hugs to Jen*

*soft hugs to Taz* Hope you're feeling better sweetie!

Good flight vibes for Shelby…

After falling off the wagon (and hard), back on the no moo moo diet. I hate the yo-yo trend, but it's definitely hard to do. Hoping I can lose at least 15 pounds before the wedding…it'll take down that double chin o'mine…

Worked on invites and rsvp cards last night…then was greeted by little newborn spiders. Fun. Especially when I killed the lot of them with spider killing spray!

Worried b/c the fiance is being sent to Mexico next week for work purposes; he'll be technically staying in Texas nightly, and will have an escort when he crosses the border, but the border violence scares me nonetheless.

feeling so-so about the recital. second half was better than the first.

miffed at a couple of people who didn't come. especially my cousin who's known about it for weeks and weeks and who I *work* with…

still anticlimaxing a little from it, but that's to be expected. no dirty jokes, JeffE ;)

not thrilled to be back at work, lol. those few days off were good.

sent my CV off to a prospective job. hope it'll pan out…

also looking elsewhere. this isn't enough for me…

feeling so happy after an amazing guster show at summerfest with Jamie, Andrew and their friends….

tired…but a very happy tired….

getting ready to run errands for my mother in laws 75th birthday party we are hosting tomorrow….

wondering where the sun is…..

under a blizzard of reservation deadline emails and questions about our class reunion….wtf people…where have you been for the last month???

thinking back on the concert and knowing only one thing could have made the concert perfect….*sigh*....

feeling like I was run over by a truck…..

wondering what the heck is going on when the friendly neighborhood pig stop gets held up by gunpoint at 530PM in broad daylight by a guy on a bike….

preparing for the next three weeks of hell at work and a reunion…..

Don't be so chipper david, it's ruining my morning *runs* ;o)

Stir crazy after a week at home…

Happy that the shoulder is healing well…but it will be several weeks before I am back to normal.

Surprisingly glad to be going back to work tomorrow…ties in with that stir crazy thing!

Hope you feel better soon Taz! ;o)

Missing the sun already and really needing a nap!

back from a walk….

iced my back and it still is still and sore….

lusting for marshmallows and I don't know why….

super freak-out nervous about the next few weeks…so many changes coming and big stuff happening to the ones I love….

thinking this class reunion might just be the death of me yet…...sheesh….

Excited to get back in the work force as a 40th birthday present…

Happy that I get to spend most of the summer with my son.  After all that happened last year, it's good to strengthen our bond…

Freaked out after a run-in with a crazy road rager near my house the other day…

Happy for david and his awesome kids…

Excited for glory's wedding and eager to see the pictures…

Planning a mini-reunion for next month - it's for the alumni who attended the same four years I did, and so far the response has been excellent…

Very happy that FB has lead to so many reconnections with old friends, classmates and family members…

In love with our apartment and my awesome master suite…

Happy as my sweetie has landed safely and is currently staying in Texas…but still a bit worried b/c he has to cross the border almost daily (for work) and I know there's a lot of violence in that area.

Excited to go pick up my wedding dress today (YAAAAY!) and going bridesmaids dress shopping with Katy and Mum…and the rest of the flower shopping for bouquets. YAY!

Stressed over trying to do the last minute things at work. T-Minus 16 days… *gulp*
