A Hodgepodge of Stuff

/ site, Uncategorized, work

New layout and format at Anywhere Is. I didn’t make it, though. I got it from one of those neat free layout sites. I know, I’m a cheat. But I really don’t care. It’s pretty and free and I had to do very little work, and it looks way better than what I had made.

Did you guys hear about the guy who allegedly killed himself at Ground Zero because of the outcome of the Presidential race? Okay, if that’s why he did it… I can’t help but feel it’s a bit drastic. In four years, the President will be out of office. Presidents come and go! But to end your life over that? How desperate. What made him feel like he had no hope? 🙁

Moving on… it’s very disturbing to listen to a bunch of clearly er… nonhip people on the radio in the morning try to figure out slang words. Lord help me. “What does illin’ mean? Do you know what ‘po-po’ is?” *sigh* Just give it up folks.

Last night, I seriously conditioned my hair and I trimmed the ends. It’s so soft and shiny and smooth now! It’s the little things….

My new boss–the 2nd director I’m supporting–is so funny. He’s from Philadelphia and he has these bright blue eyes. He said he downloaded LL COOL J ring tones to his new cell phone, but they don’t sound as good as the ones on his old phone. Then he came over to my desk with his old phone and had me dial the number so I could hear “The Freaks Come Out At Night.” He’s so random and fun. My other boss is out of town for a few days.

I need to order some new contact lenses. My current ones are driving me a bit mad, but I honestly think I look better without glasses. AND I can wear sunglasses when I’m driving when I have my contacts in.

For itskels: What had happened was…

$5,269,658

/ christmas, church, friends, life

$5,269,658.

The members of Heritage Christian Church committed $5,269,658 for our building expansion compaign. Our membership has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few years. When I first started attending, there were two services. Both on Sunday: 930am and 1115pm. A 6pm Saturday service was added sometime last year, and earlier this year, they’ve added an 815am Sunday service. I am gobsmacked at the impact this church has on lives. It’s had quite the impact on mine.

Church was cool today. I saw a lot of my friends. I get overwhelmed because their are so many people I want to sit and talk to and there is never any time. Lunch afterwards helps some, but I do wish I could have more quality time with my friends.

Kelly P had on the best orange golashes ever. I wish I’d taken a picture of her in them. 🙂

This time change is really screwing with me. akfjlafjklafjl! It’s so dark out, and I feel like it should be about 9pm, but it’s really not even 7pm. Oh gosh. As much of a night owl I am, I HATE the longer nights and shorter days.

While we were coming home from dinner last night, we spotted a house all decorated for Christmas. Chris was complaining and saying they were being stupid. In hindsight, I realize he was jealous. He and Aidan went off to Meijer and came back with all kinds of decorations and lights and then he PUT THEM UP. Luckily, they are not lit yet, but still. *shakes head* He even got one of the inflatable Poohs. Aidan looks at him at goes “bah.” 🙂 :O

Alright. I’m at Chad and Christy’s now and I’m going to take off and get back home so I can get stuff done. Monday Monday Monday is looming. I need to do laundry, shower, do hair, get stuff ready for work. Later, gators! 🙂

/ birthday, friends, happy, shopping

Thanks to Andy, I now have WIRELESS on my laptop. nappilyn, that’s what I got at Best Buy. Sweeeet birthday present, huh? AND he bought me blank CDs besides, AND he’s taking me to dinner. I know, my birthday isn’t til December, but so far I’ve already gotten awesome gifts. Las Vegas, wireless internet… what else is coming? *hint hint*

I have $65 in Reward Zone certificates from Best Buy. And I have another $5 coming since Andy paid for his stuff and they scanned my card. I hope I get it before Christmas. Chris’s mom is giving me $100 to Best Buy for Christmas. That’s $170! And if the grandparents and aunts and uncles go there, that’s another $65. $235 to Best Buy!!!! What will I do with all that???!?!?!? I hope Chris gets me one too. $25 would be cool. Oh man. I’d have sooooo much fun.

I <3 Best Buy. And Andy. 🙂

And It’s a Saturday

/ birthday, friends, shopping

SOMEBODY get me out of the iTunes Music Store before I go broke! I LOVE that place. OOoo. Free downloads every week, and songs for 99 cents. It reminds me of when I was younger and used to buy singles like they were going out of style.

Andy should be here in about 40 minutes or so. He said he’s taking me to Best Buy for my birthday present. Speaking of my birthday, everyone is making a huge deal out of this one. I guess it is a huge deal (for some). Oh, who am I kidding? It’s a huge deal for me. So, I think a party will probably ensue. That’s kind of scary. But should be fun. Game night, good food, hanging out with my friends. It should be good.

Gosh. Christmas is in just a bit over a month and I have done very little shopping. Just some clothes and a watch for Aidan, and a couple of things for Chris. I have ideas of what I want to get people, but I haven’t put any of it in play yet. Who wants to come Christmas shopping with me? Leave me a comment and we’ll make plans!

Alright. Off to shower.

Sidenote: Why is my son sitting quietly in his infant swing? He’s enjoying it too. Weird.
