I'M IT!

......and here we go.

Ten years ago:
Ten years ago, during this time, I was in drumcorps. It was one of the most horrible summers ever for the Blue Stars....but yet one of the most memorable. I remember the corps director being a complete dumb-dumb and there were times where our corps would literally be living off of PB&J! But, I do remember finals week that summer. It was 95+ degrees in Florida and we were staying at a motel that, I think, was shut down. I don't believe there was anyone else staying in that motel. But to be able to stay at a hotel while being in drumcorps...Wow. No gym floors!! There was drinking involved finals week (did I take part? No. I was SUCH a loser.) and things happening in hotel rooms that probably shouldn't have been. Ah. Debauchery.

Five things on my on-going to-do list:

1. Call around for DJs
2. Call around for Photographers
3. Laundry
4. Make a new CD
5. Look into flowers for wedding

A snack I enjoy:
What don't I enjoy? Ha. A snack I really enjoy would have to be ice cream. Or custard. (6 of one...half a dozen of the other)

Things I would do if I were a millionaire:
Pay off debt that I have, have a kick ass wedding, buy a house, donated my time or money to a charity (perhaps both because I won't be working!)

Places I have lived:

• Kindersley, SK Canada
  
• Edgerton, WI
  
• Durand, WI
  
• Eau Claire, WI
  
• La Crosse, WI
  
• Lake Delton, WI
  
• Pewaukee, WI
  
• St. Paul, MN (Ha. Does a week count?)
• Waukesha, WI
  

I stopped here because I didn't know if I had to go on and create sub-bulletins?


Well, I thought I would post some on here tonight. Its been awhile.....again. Oi.

Still living in Pewaukee right now. We are trying to find a duplex to move into. Aaron's boss, Ben, is looking to buy a duplex and rent the other side out to us. So we are living at my Aunt's house right now (rent free). Its great that we don't have to pay rent, but its very stressful to live in a room the size of my previous bathroom.

Today was an awesome day! My Aunt Kathie had found an ad in the Waukesha Freeman about a Bridal Blow-Out Sale at a church in Menomonee Falls, so we decided to go. We first walked in and didn't see a whole lot there. But through digging through the handful that were actually there, we found three or four dresses that were beautiful. Tried on a couple....didn't fit. I had no idea they ran that small. (At least that's what I'm telling myself.) But.....I found one. It fits me perfectly and its exactly what I wanted. Its simple...but that's what I like about it. What made me like it even more was the price tag on it: $175. It was originally $675. I still can't believe it.

So, that was a great chunk of my day. Andrea, myself, Kathie, and Aaron went out to dinner tonight at Pedro's. I've been there before but still don't know if I like it. Its average, at best, and I always leave there feeling full. While that's not a bad thing, its now 12:43am and I STILL feel full. We ate at 6:30. Gross.

We did a lot of wedding and budget talk today. I am so grateful that I have Kathie here to kind of take place of Mom and Dad. Quite honestly, I don't know how else I would get married. I wonder if I can get a sponsor? Ha!

Anyway...its going to put a strain on all of our finances ......so I hope things don't get carried away. I suppose I can settle for golf carts bringing the wedding party in and not a helicopter.

Anyhoo...It's late and I should get to bed. Lots to do tomorrow, as you read above.

Hope all is well!

Monday, rainy Monday

Word.

Sorry for the delays in posts! Not that there are too many people out there that read this (2 at most?). But anyhoo.....

Not a whole lot is new with me. (I say that all the time and the minute I walk away from the computer, I think of things to update on.) But, Beaky is all moved out of the apartment. She picked up all the rest of her stuff yesterday with movers. So the apartment just seems super empty!! Most noticeably is the lack of furniture we have in the apartment now. We did, though, go grab Andrea's over sized love seat and bring it over so its not so empty in the living room.

Still having reoccurring dreams about planes crashing. They are getting more frequent. Its to the point that actually IN my dream I see a plane and say, " Oh, no. Not again. " And then BAM!!! It crashes. I can't seem to find anything on the internet about what that means ....so if anyone finds anything let me know!

So, um, that's about it for now. I seem to try to update my blog when everyone wants to talk to me. Grr. (still trying to save up $$ to get the computer fixed...but I am still supporting two people (I literally want to scream thinking about that)).

Quickly now....

Shot out to my homie, Lori, for always making it a blast hanging out! Had an AWESOME time this weekend (from what I remember of the evening). Just a quick reminder for you kiddies out there: You DON'T need to catch up to someone who has been out for awhile. Your toilet will not appreciate it. Oi.

Over at Andrea's quickly checking my stuff online. Computer still not working and no funds to do so. I'm pretty much supporting two people right now and I am almost at the end of my rope with that situation. I finally got myself into a situation where I had money and now it just seems to slowly be disappearing. le sigh.

Anyhoo, I have to get ready for work right now and try to tear away a kitten from my book bag. (read: Cheddar digging in it).

So love, peace and afro grease.

My feet hurt

$300 tonight in tips. Booooo-ya!

But alas, I was there for 12 1/2 hours.
