RANDOM MUSINGS

So….I am FINALLY moving. Seems like I have been bitching about packing forever, right? I am actually almost completely packed. At least, there is nothing left that I cannot handle tonight. Already signed the lease and everything. Whoo-hoo.

Have a good weekend!

So I am taking a break from packing. As soon as I got home from the picnic today I became the tazmanian devil, as Edgar would say. Yuck. I am dusty and dirty. Which I know sounds redundant, but I just want to emphasize how dirty I am!! The good thing is that since my mom is not helping me I am throwing a TON of stuff away. Ha. And she cannot stop me! I also think I am going to run out of boxes. That should prove interesting. Hmm.

The picnic today was actually quite fun. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. And the place was really cool…had a lot of activities and was much bigger than I had thought. That was good because it wasn’t just everyone sitting there staring at each other like we do when we are in the board room. You could actually walk around and do your own thing, and then come back and socialize some more. There were quite a few people there….many more than I had thought were going to show up.

Other than that, the weekend was pretty mild! The stupid cards won yesterday. Detroit better get their butts in gear!!

I do have some random thoughts about people in general. You know, I am a grownup. Like most people I know. I mean, there are always moments and times to be goofy and act immature, but overall, I am a grownup. So why can’t other people be grownups? People that should know better, become complete liars…I actually know someone that I would grant the title “king of bullshit.” I really thought he had changed in all the years I have known him. I mean, I have grownup, so shouldn’t he?? But he is still the exact same person he was years ago. Still spouting off make-believe to try to impress people. The sad thing is, I actually think he convinces himself that he is telling the truth…and starts to believe his own stories. What is that about?? Anyway…I was actually flabbergasted when I found out the latest round of make-believe. That is really the only way to describe it. The sad thing is, besides his family, I may be the only person that would actually know he is BSing. Anyone else has dropped out of his life long ago. I am also actually one of the few that will call him on it. Which is exactly why I think we are not friends anymore. He never could handle being called out. Dumbass.

I know this weekend has not even started yet. I am just predicting the future. You know why? Because I really really need to spend most of the weekend packing! The problem is, there is so much left to do that I spend 30 minutes to an hour freaking out about where to even start. Nice, huh?? I just need to suck it up…I move a week from tomorrow! That is just nuts.

Also, our first ever company picnic is on Sunday. Whoo-freakin-hoo. I am just going to see some of my friend’s kids. And because if I don’t go, Kristin will yell at me on Monday. That would not be fun at all. Hopefully the food is good, at least!

Hope everyone has a good weekend! Let me know what you are up to…so I can live vicariously through all of you.

I completely forgot that I made a quick day trip to the country this weekend. I made a run on Sunday to pick up all my boxes and packing stuff from the house. My parents are in New Mexico so there was no reason to go the whole weekend. The fun part was that Elodie went with me. It was hilarious. Kind of a mini-field trip for her. She got the grand tour of where I lived, went to school, even met my grandparents. And she took pictures, too. We even ate lunch at the local BBQ Pit…where she actually had the BBQ. I cannot even remember the last time I had BBQ instead of a cheeseburger there. Yum. Anyway…it was a blast. Even though the weather was terrible!!

That is hilarious. I have a new addiction…the television show called “Heroes.” It comes on NBC on Monday nights. And it sounds really cheesy, because it is about normal people that start discovering that they have special “powers.” All of these people will end up coming together to try to save the world. But it really isn’t cheesy. It is actually suspenseful and kind of creepy and dramatic…in a good way. SO good. This was not even one of the shows I was looking forward to this year…but it has turned out to be my new favorite. Anyway…the previews for next week kind of revealed the objective of “save the cheerleader, save the world.” And it was supposed to be very serious and dramatic, and once I saw that I could not stop laughing. I was bent over, almost falling off my couch. And I have no clue why it was so funny. Maybe because even though I was a cheerleader, cheerleaders drive me nuts. Seriously. And maybe they were trying TOO hard to make it serious and dramatic. “save the cheerleader!” I am still cracking up. I know this is completely random, but dude…give me a break….baseball is over, the Texans suck…Rockets are just in pre-season. What else am I supposed to be watching?

Have a good week!

I keep thinking today is Friday. And I don’t really have much to say, except that this afternoon is the first time I have felt halfway decent in over a freakin week. Whoo-hoo! Anyone want to volunteer to ride with me to the country? I have to go pick up stuff. Ha. I feel like I have not been on here in forever. Probably because when you are sick you don’t do much of anything, so I don’t have much to say. I know, me not having much to say causes most people to shake their heads in disbelief. Seriously!

Hope everyone is having a good week and has a good weekend!

I really do not think I am meant to go camping. EVER. I have made it 26 and a half years without it, so I may be giving up hope. Second year in a row I missed the crew’s camping trip. Last year because of prior obligations, this year because of being sick. Damn. I did not even make it to work on Friday. So since Thursday I have felt horrible. Blah. The only thing I did this weekend, besides laundry, was leave my house for a bit to just WATCH the baseball game. WATCH. How boring! I mean, not that the game itself was boring, but if given the choice, I would rather be out there. Duh. Oh yeah, and then went to Taco Bell with Cristina. I must say, the worst thing about being sick in Houston is having no family around. Nothing beats having someone take care of you when you are sick, of course. But…the best thing about having such good friends as your substitute family in Houston is that they surprise you and bring you lunch when you are sick and not able to make it to work. They are even kind of pushy and just tell you they are coming over and bringing food. Crazies. And even hang out for a bit. Although I think that was more about how comfortable my couches are compared to their office chairs, right girls? Anyway…point is, that as miserable as I was, that made my day! And helped me forget about missing another camping trip!

At least I feel well enough at this point to make it to work tomorrow. Thank goodness. I have an event on Tuesday. Which I would not be pulling off at all without Summer’s help. I cannot even count how many times I have had to ask for help with this one, so thank you!

Hope everyone has a good week!

I feel like crap! Eh. Have zero energy. And I have already been to Conroe and back this morning because that is where my doctor is. Yes, I am a retard. I live in the heart of Houston and drive all the way to Conroe to go to the doctor. I freakin love my doctor. I love the nurses. I love the office up there. Anyway…obviously the point is that I love my doctor’s office enough to be in a car for that long and use that much gas. Whoo-hoo. I still hate being sick. No matter how pleasant a doctor’s visit is.

Random food thought…I am obsessed with biscuits. I love biscuits. Especially those chicken biscuits that everyone has now. Nobody beats Chick-fil-a on that front. Anyway….the point is that on my way back from freakin Conroe I stopped at Whataburger and tried their honey butter chicken biscuit. YUM. Messy, but YUM. I highly recommend it.

I need some movie buddies! There are two movies coming out this month that I HAVE to go see…The Prestige and Marie Antoinette. Seeking any volunteers. The Prestige has Christian Bale in it. Nuff said. And Hugh Jackman. And directed by Christopher Nolan. Give me another combo that could beat that!! Marie Antoinette has Kirsten Dunst and is a Sofia Coppola film. Another good one. Problem is, they come out the same weekend! Oh well. I am determined to see these. I get all excited about movies, and then end up not watching them until they are on HBO.

Pics are up from Saturday night. Joey’s surprise birthday party at Next. I must say, we had a blast!! I had never been there before, but it was pretty cool. Not overly crowded, and the music got a lot better as the night went on.
We did play baseball on Saturday. Always festive, of course. But it was HOT. I want to know where the cool weather went.
Overall had a pretty good weekend. Although I did not get any laundry done. And the Astros lost. Man. Oh well…at least they made it interesting! I also think I am getting sick. Not feeling so hot today. And I have a bazillion registrations to process for an event next week. Whoo-freakin-hoo!!
And camping next weekend. So I better start feeling better.

Oh yeah…and Jay officially started practice with the Lamar University baseball team. Go brat, go. Lucky punk!!
