HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AARON!

And as Aaron texted me today," Happy Hollowedo! " to everyone!

Oh and...

I cannot help but just browse the internet and add things to my Amazon.com Wishlist. Its addicting. I think its mainly books....but I want them all! (and a photographer....is that too much to ask? Me thinks so.)

4 years. WOW.

The day is 17 minutes away from ending. It was a good day. I wasn't too sullen and the thought of him wasn't constantly on my mind. It feels good that I wasn't weepy and disgustingly crying all over myself with snot bubbles forming at the nose. Yay for small victories!

If you have sound (or, I guess, are able to listen while reading) click here. Its kind of my song for the moment and I bet my Daddio would like this.


Oh, ok....one "wah" moment: I wish I could sit and talk music with my Dad. I wish I could call him up and say, " I heard this really great song! " or " Play this for Pep band! "

But that is all.

Everyone else is sick...

....and now I am sick. Not the best timing in the world, but then again, when is it? I don't suppose people walk around thinking, " Man....this week would be fab to get a nasty cold! "

Anyhoodle, not a lot has been going on. Lots of things coming up, though. Sometime between now and Saturday I have to come up with a costume. Every year at the Deuce we host a BIG Gay Halloween Bash. I didn't work it last year (bummer!) so I am made sure I am this year. 'a lot of money for 5 hours of working and I can only imagine that its going to be one-hell-of-a-good time!

Tomorrow night Andrea and I are (assuming I feel up to it) going to Chicago for a wedding. A friend of mine from Blue Stars is getting married. My head is swirling with weddings and babies lately!! I just can't keep up anymore! I know 4 or 5 people who are due between March and April...and one of them is having twins! Weddings and babies and TWINS....OH MY!!

Anyway...got off track there. Andrea and I were going to stay in Chicago tomorrow night, but I have to get home and get ready for the Halloween bash and the train schedules wouldn't have worked out in our favor. Too many hoping from one train to another.

But, I guess that's all that is really new with me. Busy weekend ahead ....and I just hope this cold goes away before I have to serve drinks with drops of snot in them. I guess that kind of goes along with scary, gross Halloween, eh?

Back to normal

Phew. Now that's a long time in between posts!!

Let's see...where to start. Well, Andrea moved in with Aaron and I. Aaron and I were just going to get a one bedroom place, but for whatever reason, we all decided it would be cheaper in the long run to all live together.

Its been a long process of moving. Aaron and I got pretty much all of our stuff over two weeks ago (living at my Aunt Kathie's was a headache and a half. We wanted out of there ASAP so we decided to move in a week early and just pay the pro rated rent amount) I guess it was kind of nice to have some time to move in. There was no hurry involved in any of the moving. There were some hiccups along the way (no truck to move!), but we managed. The thing I like most about my family (Andrea and Aaron...haha), is that it takes a lot to shake us up. The fact that we didn't have a truck would have flipped someone else out, but we shrug it off and make due with what we have. I like that.

Anyhoodle, the only thing that I was worried about with Andrea moving in was her cats. I guess I wasn't worried so much about her cats, but my cat getting along with her cats. But Stewie has been great! She normally hisses and attacks all cats but hasn't done that yet. Well, there has been some hissing, but nothing major. Stewie actually plays with Andrea's kittens! Joy!

Wedding planning has been put on hold for the past month or so. With moving and the stress of living at Kathie's and not having any place to put things I may have gotten for the wedding, it was just really difficult to focus on it. But I'm ready to get back on track. I will most likely have to pick up a second job just so I can afford a wedding. No matter how cheap I do the wedding, its still a big sore in my pocket book and its frustrating. Kathie is helping out with the wedding site, which is awesome, and Aaron's Mom and Dad are picking up some major things, too (DJ, Photography, Rehearsal dinner, and alcohol), but its seriously the little things that will add up to a lot. I've been trying to get things as we go along so its not as bad. But wow. And its not like I have a credit card that I can charge things to and I can worry about later. Aaron doesn't either. So its been a little rough. I like not having a credit card because I don't buy things I can't afford, but for this situation it would be nice. Real nice.

What else...Oh! Aaron's car got broken into Sunday night/Monday morning. They stole his GPS. The car next to him got broken into as well. He was pretty upset for a minute there ....but he is like me in that kind of situation. What can you do? Nothing. So you clean it up, fork over $200 to get it fixed, and move on.

Its going to be a busy month for us. This weekend we are out of town in Louisville, KY. The weekend after that we're in Chicago for a wedding, and the following weekend is Aaron's Birthday (the 31st!) and a Halloween party. Then we are just two weeks away from the Thanksgiving party!!!!! Lots to do. So little time!

Well, I should probably get to cleaning up a bit more. I will check y'all later!
