christmas decorations have been up at the department stores since last month. !!??!! last month we were still having 80 degree weather. and it's not even halloween (well, i gues now it's practically halloween) and there are christmas decorations!! what happened to fall? pretty leaves, cider mills, etc...it's like the stores are pressuring us to be in winter mindset. i don't like being rushed into winter. i rather enjoy the fall...it's so pretty and it's sweater weather!! that's the best. and when winter comes around it's cloudy a lot and that makes it harder to get out of bed. i heard denver got a foot of snow last night. that's how it should be. if it's gonna be cold, there better be snow. i've said that before. =\ flurries are expected tomorrow. if anything...maybe we'll get a decent snowboarding season this year. none of that 50 degree stuff.

isn't it funny how you can go on and on about the weather? haha. i mean, there must be a reason why people use it as the subject of small talke. or maybe that's just me.

8 hour exam = self-induced torture + smelly guy behind me exuding foul b.o. = unbearable torture. don't do it. never want to do it again but probably will have to due to stupidness. ever not figured out half the test and just filled in "c" all the way down? yeah. not me. but i did on saturday. i really did not care. i just wanted to leave. anyway..i have three statements, truths if you will, on my weekend revelations...

1. olivia is the cutest thing in the world. ridiculously cute. she should not be allowed.

2. my mom is a damn good cook.

3. i have the happiest jack-o-lantern in the world. =D

the hardest thing to do in the day is to get out of bed.

if it's 35 degrees outside and the chill is entering your bedroom through your non-efficient windows, the best thing EVER is jumping back into bed with the comforter where it's all warm and cozy. how can we possibly be expected to get out of bed when it's cold out? and again anticipating freezing when you get out of the shower. *shiver* mornings are not for me.

i love sleep.

they like me!! woohoo! my managers reviewed me and they think i'm cool...so yay!! =)

(doh. one of them just walked in on me typing this. bad. haha.)

stackhouse is returning to the palace tonight with michael jordan!! i soooo wish i could be there. =P boo on studying. study schmudy, right? argh. i really should pass this exam. i'll feel like such a retard if i don't. therefore, no game. pray for me, please. i need it. and if possible, please send all your math, science and engineering knowledge telepathically to me, too. that would be extremely helpful and time-saving. thank you. =)

it's still monday.

the longest day of my life.

work completely kicked my ass today and i don't know if it's because i just haven't slept in the last couple weeks. but my ass was completely kicked and continues to be kicked cuz i still have work to do (and that studying thing)....except now i'm at eric's and i can do my work in the company of beauty and the beast. =D i wonder when it is that you can joyfully bear your crosses. lose the bitterness. like invite all the bad and displeasing stuff into your life with a smile because you know that when it's all said and done, you will be a better person. so i'm gonna start trying.

dear work, bring it on.

it's really funny listening to other people's conversations when you work in cubicles. it's sooo not private and even the people with private offices talk loud enough for me to hear their conversations. clearly. everyone in my office tends to speak loudly. so everyone knows everyone else's business. i wonder if they listen to my conversations. i think people would think i'm a retard if they do...haha...especially if they catch me talking to bunso, which is pretty often cuz sometimes/oftentimes i get bored and call her cuz i miss that little girl like crazy. hehe. i hate it when i have to call people and be all professional cuz i think i sound pretty stupid...i generally can't speak. agh. i'm getting better at it, tho'...i'm beginning to get over the caring if the other person thinks you're a dumbass and just get the information you need no matter how much you stutter. =P then that feeling of dread in the pit of your stomach before you have to call someone isn't as noticeable.

there are gross coffee (????) stains on the bottled water dispenser. people!! it's a water dispenser. gross. what're coffee-like stains doing near the nozzle waiting to contaminate my water? isn't that the whole point of having bottled water?

i'm still recovering from the weekend. i woke up super late today and strolled into work around quarter to ten. then the boss asks me to take a report to gm troy for him (which is 6 miles from my house) but it needs to get there by four. so i leave at three. eleven twelve one two three. 5 hours minus twenty that i took for lunch. i'm such a slacker. i'm skipping class right now, too. what's wrong with me? i'm gonna go study my hardest so i can make up for my laziness...tho' my hardest still might not be enough...=\

back to work. boo.

didn't get jamba juice (doh!--forgot) but did get fish tacos. did get to watch the culture shock show (yay!). did get to hang out with james, jon, hong, and victor. did stay up all night talking with hong, jon, and james. (well..hong didn't make it and jon almost made it all night. me and james are troopers.) did get to see james' new (kinda) place and hong's finished place. did put faces and real names to three more people on the hyperwest portal. oh yeah..and i did work. i got to know the 405 pretty well--we're old friends now--in my rental car with autostick. that was kinda neat but lame at the same time. it's just not the same without a clutch. AND i've discovered how wonderful handsfree sets are for cell phones and how much i LOVE talking on them.

i feel like i was in california for a minute but while i was there it felt like i was always there. does that make sense? it was just really nice to hang out, catch up, whatever...there really is nothing better than sitting around a table all night and talking about everything and nothing and just being. i'm smiley cuz i love my friends. =) we all need to get jobs that let us travel for free to visit each other. got it, guys?

travel between michigan/chicago, new york, and southern california are absolutely required for job.

feel free to cut and paste to your objective line in your resume.

*oh yeah..and i don't know if people caught it, but please note that eric's blogger url changed.
i will refrain from ranting on and on about annoying and socially moronic insensitive project managers and focus on happier things.

me go to california tomorrow. =) me no see dumb pm for 4 days. =) =)

i was all pukey yesterday cuz i had bad taco bell. yuck. so, sorry, martin..we're gonna have to find a new lunch spot cuz it'll be a while before i return there if ever. gross. aside from being pukey and dumb pm's.....i sat back in my chair today and smiled a content smile because i feel that the people around me are pretty happy. not everyone, of course, but things are looking up for a lot of people and isn't that what you want for the people you care about? and when things are going well for people i feel that everyone in general exudes a more positive attitude. i dunno.

maybe i spoke too soon.

i think about it again and it seems that when one half of your life is going fantastically, the other half is blah...or worse than blah...maybe even horrible. why is that? maybe i'm delirious. i'm pretty tired....i don't know how people work 12 hour days. what are those people eating and how do they get enough sleep? it's seems an unhappy lifestyle cuz that would be your life. yeah..definitely starting to ramble. night night....

i showed up at eric's today for our every-other-weekly upper room meeting in a funk. i was happy inside cuz martin came out to the heights...but--ugh. what a horrible day. i spent 3, count 'em THREE, hours getting home today in horrible horrible horrible traffic to get reports to two different clients all because i work with a project manager that "would really like it if it could get to the client today". =P BITE ME. it'd be different if it were my fault that the report was finished so late in the day but it most definitely was not, so there. add three hours of moving 20 mph and rain and there's me, in a foul mood. i couldn't even will a smile. christmas music couldn't even help. =(

ha. and the topic of the day: patience. how appropriate.

BUT...as always, my upper room buddies lifted me up and afterwards lorie and ny came out to chill because we never see them. i woke them from deep sleep to get them to hang out. woohoo!! =D and then i received the GREATEST thing EVER but won't tell you about because i can do that. hehehe. and now the hum of conversation of my wonderful friends goes on behind me. i love quality time with friends. we need more quality time with friends, agree?

aim keeps kicking me off and my computer is moving at the speed of a big fat snail again. i feel like i'm on a connection worse than dial-up. argh. (haha...and yet...i manage to get to blogger.)

it's october and it's still pretty warm. like summer warm. i hope this doesn't mean we're gonna get a lack of snow this winter. i plan on boarding way more up north this year where they actually have snow and runs not built over landfills. or over in k'zoo...at least they have decent snow. and lorie will still be there (yay!!) so then she'll HAVE to go boarding with us. i have to start saving my pennies!! i can't believe i'm going to cali before christmas. i'm not quite over it. i dont' know if i will be since i only have a week to get over it but then i'll be there. =D eeek!!

if louis was bigger than caleb (10lbs. 12oz.)....

someone tell me how big louis was when he was born and how his poor mother is able to walk. ouch!

no wonder why the stork idea is so appealing.
