it's like third grade in my office.

there's a parade --

a BIG clown just walked by complete with the honking red nose. (why do they make their noses honk? is it really that funny?) and there went a headless horsewoman and her pumpkin head...and a doctor...and cruella deville complete with dalmations jacked from a fellow coworker's daughter....and a french maid with purple hair and man legs (that belong to a man)....and a hunter (that's our office manager. he has a sign that says 'A/R hunter' cuz the project managers are really bad at getting invoices out.)...and a genie...and a cowgirl...and a biker chick. man, people went all out. i am highly entertained.

--and we even get a pizza party for lunch!

i just wore all black and brought in kit kats. i have my fairy wings hanging in my cube. i could be like the dark evil fairy.

hmmm.

or not.

anyway...happy halloween!

boredom has taken over.

my manager is gone and i seriously have NOTHING to do. it often seems that i have nothing to do based on my im activities, but really....i'm usually busy. (i'm just an excellent multitasker ;D.) today, nothing. thanks to fung, i have resolved to googling your home phone number (if i have it) to see if your address will pop up in the results.

the office nazi is "orientating" the new employee in the cube kitty corner from mine. it's amazing how sickeningly sweet and nice she is being. little does the new employee know that she is conversing with a horrible little troll that will be the worse secretary ever and most condescending person in the office....

a list:

- chaos soccer rules
- cold corn tortillas: not so good
- i need to buy eggs
- it's really nice out and yesterday it was in the 30s
- i did not barf yesterday, though i was close
- i love gift certificates
- 30-minute meals is a great great thing
- you have to wash a lot of dishes when you cook every day

that's all.

speaking of barfing....i've been dizzy for the last week. i can't quite shake it (..sha-shake it, shake it like a polaroid picture). lorie thinks i might be pregnant. i say no way. alvin's been dizzy all week, too. he, on the other hand, might be pregnant. can i just say how weird it is that if i were to get pregnant right now, that it would be okay?

i might barf* today. we start indoor tonight....fives plus the goalie, 2 girls on the field at all times. i fear that because i haven't run since before the wedding...i just might barf after two minutes on the field. we lost our star girl player this session. boo. so right now there's three girls...and since fung and i don't play offense...sorry, conehead. it's all you. ;D just kidding. you have a sub. just one. =) this is exciting. physical activity. i'm not quite conveying the excitement. let me just give a WOOHOO!!! there we go.

*the funniest word lorie knows is "barf". i think it's the funny because she says it like she's barfing.

why do you think we store our pens/pencils in our pen/pencil cups with the caps up? all my markers and bic pens are sitting in cap-side up. one would think that we would store them the other way to promote the flow of ink easily through the ball point. i know this. i believe it. yet i don't change. when i pick up a pen to write with, i want to be able to write immediately instead of scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to get the ink flowing. and let's be honest...do we always have a scrap piece of paper to scribble on?

i am sitting here waiting to deliver a report. i was supposed to deliver it to the client by 2pm. i'm still waiting for the text from another office.

basically, i'm bored.

i hate that i'm bored. i hate that i have so much stuff to do but i can't do it because at any minute i'll have to leave...and it will most likely be right smack dab in the middle of an intense train of thought. er...did i say can't? i meant "don't want to". hehe.

i'm a bit light headed. i don't know if it's from all the campfire smoke (lots and LOTS) from the weekend or from not showering or changing my clothes for three days or from being sick for hanging out outside when it's 35 degrees....or maybe it's just a sign that i should go home and sleep. sleeeeeep. yeah! i didn't sleep too well last night. i woke up at 5am for no reason. no reason! perhaps i am coming down with something. maybe....laziness?? i feel that i am the least motivated of all my friends.

....aaannd i gotta go deliver the report. ha. i knew it!!! thank goodness for blogging and e-ddt to make the time go by....

more later.

T.G.I.F.

i suck.

my week is officially not going well.

went to chicago today.

i went to chicago like i go to ann arbor for the day. in a car. but much farther.

let's never do this again.

i was a complete dumbhead today on many levels. but we're over it.

on top of that, my leg is telling me that it will rain soon.

my tummy hurts. ate too much good food for chrissy's bday dinner at bucas. went to coldstone after. it's overratted and i was full, yet i ate. ughhhh....

anyway.

this weekend i was finally emerged back into "the swing of things"...actually hung out with someone that wasn't eric. (and i think i'm finally over my jet lag.) i'm still reeling from the wedding. i'm about as good as this one is at vocabulary, and to say that it was the most unbelievable time would be like saying God is smart.


.i'm so touched that a million peope who we love dearly came from so far away to be with us on that day.

.i loved that wherever i looked in the church and in the reception hall i saw a face of someone that i was so incredibly happy to see.

.i loved that i could jump from one end of the dance floor to the other and jam with every single person on the way from point A to point B.

.i loved that we all sang and jumped and danced our brains out to songs that some people would be ashamed of knowing every word to...(ahem..."ooh baby do you know what that's worth").

.i loved that not one of us hesitated when eric demanded that we all do the running man like our lives depended on it.

.i loved that vibe had a mini jam session in the entry way just like the good old days.

.i loved that love was just ridiculously oozing out of every person there. if i didn't kiss you and tell you i loved you at the reception, i must have missed you and i owe you a kiss and this is me telling you that i love you. =)

.i loved that 50 of you organized from all over the country to bring back old old old skool to brand brand new dances just for us to remember and celebrate what brought us together as a family.

.i love all the pictures and posts and emails and e-ddt going on. *high five for the internet* (two times...)


eric and i were sitting in the airport the day after the wedding going "i can't believe that just happened to us." seriously...i have never felt so much emotion and love and joy than on that day. the whole day. i'm sure there were things that went wrong...and i'm sure that the best wedding party ever to be a wedding party kept all that secret from us...but i was floating. i still am. i might never come down.

what really amazes me is that with all the love we felt that day and still feel today, that that is not even a glimpse of what God has for us. and it really is He who made that day so amazing. it would not have been anything close to what it was if not for Him. the biggest group hug in the world...my heart was overflowing and overflowing at the point. ("i can only imagine....")

*sigh*

i love you guys so much. =)

HAPPY
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY,
DINNER
BUDDY!!!!!

aaaannd...
