I'm not going to broadcast what I weigh over the internet, but needless to say, it is WAY too much. Too much for me.
And I'm tired of it.
I've gained 15 pounds in the past year and 30 in the past 4. In the summer of 2002, I was right where I wanted to be. I want to be back to that.
Besides the fact that I gained 7 pounds in the past two months. Stupid depression making me think that I was losing weight.
I'm going for the gold here. We'll see what happens.
I just needed to say it out loud, so it's real.
okay bye
Oh, P.S. Today is the one year anniversary of the day that I rollerbladed down the hill by the apartment in RF and completely trashed my body. Which is why I didn't exercise for a year basically. Just one more reason why I hated that place.

My weekend
So, for all of you who are interested, this is my entry of this past weekend.
So, Josh comes down on Thursday to go to Jim's bachelor party with Jake and I just hang out all night by my lonesome. Which was acutally okay with me. :) I need a nice quiet night alone every once and awhile. They got back about midnight and then we all went to bed.
Friday: Woke up at 8:30, got ready for work and was sitting the kitchen/dining room area eating and hacking the web when Yakob called and said his class was cancelled. So, instead of leaving at 11 or 12, he left at 3. Dummy.
Went to work from 10 to 3:15 that day. Got back and found out that Yakkers had JUST left and was mildly irritated. Sat around watching Josh play Burnout 3 on Xbox and waited for Jake to get back from work.
At 6:30ish we went over to my parents and my dad made burgers for us. Yakob just drove straight to my parents house and we left his car there, because you can't park on the streets here in ole Tosa. Which sucks. A LOT. and there's no "guest parking" at the apartment, even though it is CLEAR that not all of the spots are taken. Grrr. AND, I would just like to point out that my parents have a sweet house (more than a sweet pad) in an okay neighborhood.
Hung out by the fire pit all night, until I got ridiculously crabby and I just wanted to go home and go to bed. I was SOOO tired and I wasn't feeling good. I felt bad, but I was just so tired.
Saturday:
Just hung out in the AM, and then needed to go to Walgreen's for wrapping paper, card, etc. for Jim and Loni's gift. So, Yakob and I went there AND to the Mall, where I found a sweet wrap to wear with my black dress, so I didn't look so black colored. Only $20 too. Then, I fixed myself up all pretty while Jake, Josh and Yakkers went to Kohl's for a belt. I also burned myself with the curling iron on the arm, so, I was a little crabby. They came back, we rushed around trying to get ready and then left. Jake drove real fast and we were in East Troy in 25 minutes. Ate at McDonalds, where we saw Jim at the ATM getting money for the musicians to pay them. I asked Mark and Jeff why Jim was there and that's what they said.
Played Bells at the ceremony, where the brass choir started too early (oops) and we sightread that MF and it was not pretty. I had that adrenaline rush thing where instead of it being a good thing, I just started shaking uncontrollably and I couldn't play. dur. Well, it was okay, because Sean and Paula had been practicing together, so they where going okay and the trombones would just stomp over everything whenever they had an entrance. sweet. And $20. more sweet.
Reception was good. Food was just okay for me -- except for those appetizers -- HOLY SHIT! Those mushrooms were freakin' amazing. I drank WAY WAY WAY too much wine and was completely trashed at the end of the night. oops. Drove back to the apartment and I pretty much passed out.
Sunday: Woke up and was drinking lots of water. I was actually feeling okay when I got up -- took ibuprofen and had water. Then, I started feeling worse and worse and Jake and Josh and Yakob left to get his car and go to breakfast with everyone and all of a sudden, there I was in the bathroom. oops. At least I felt better then. But, pretty much had a headache ALLL DAY. Just hung out, watched Serenity, Jack stopped by for 20 minutes on his way to Chicago, and watched more TV. Then, Jake and I went to Taco BELL and ate that. Then, I had to go to bed, because I was very tired again.
NOW! I need to go shower and get ready for work. Jake and I are going to US Bank today to open a coupld of new account and get his name added to things and such. I hope that it all works out okay.
That was more of a play by play instead of anything interesting, but maybe I'll be able to write more later. Had lots of good conversations that night.
Side note:
Oh, AND, I'm a kick ass horn player, and my absences from rehearsals for B&B have been approved by Mr. Boll himself. So, basically, go to hell if you have a problem with it.

THUNDERSTORMS!
So, after saying that it's going to storm, etc. etc. for like the past week, it is finally raining and storming here in ole Tosa. It's a pretty good one too. At least I feel a little better because A) we have a basement and B) we're not on the top floor of a three floor building anymore.
Haven't seen a storm this good since I had to drive home through one back in late April/early May. But, I don't have to drive on I-94 this time.
I had a request from R Yakob W Boyle to update, because it's been a week, which I didn't realize it had been that long.
Worked 20.5 hours last week -- money is awesome.
Nothing out of the ordinary on Wednesday or Thursday of last week. Just a lot of cleaning, etc. etc. Actually, the only thing that happened was Jim Gornick got a hold of Jake to ask us to play for the recessional of their wedding on Saturday, the 24th. So, we decided that we could do that, so the two of us are playing horns 1 and 2 for Bells at the end of the ceremony.
Friday: Brooke, Josh and Kristine get here around 3. We all go over to Beihoff's to visit Jake and the stupid high school kid that he was working with would not shut up. So dumb. Then, we sit around until Jake is done working and we go to the Brewer game. Sat in the bleachers with all of the other crazies and drink and have an awesome time. Had two beers, a margarita (which was not frozen, because "we're selling them faster than we can freeze them"), 2 hot dogs, a pretzel and nachos. Not all at the same time, of course. And the Brewers won, so it was totally sweet. And we were sitting by crazy, yet nice and interesting people, which is what I LOVE about Wisconsin. Went to my mom and dad's afterward for a nightcap and sat out by their fire and just hung out until Brooke got real crabby and we left and went to bed.
Unfortunately, nobody slept very well, because we had the cats in with us and they are insane and Josh and Kristine were on the air mattress, which is DEFINITELY broken now. When Colio and James slept on it back in December, I didn't know if it was a fluke or not, but it wasn't. Broke'd'd'd.
So, Saturday: I was up at 5:30am, with everyone else and just stayed up pretty much. Took a nap around 10am, when I was so tired I couldn't stay awake. Then, watched a World Cup game with Josh for a while, then Josh and Kristine went to go see her Mom for lunch and her dad. I went to my parents to give my dad is father's day gift and just hung out for a couple hours.
Then, the four of us just hung out for a while and then went to Mama's (formerly Mama Mia's) for pizza and garlic bread! SO GOOD! ASLKJflkjasdlkgfj! Then, we came back and just hung out -- we were all tired, so it was a short night and we all went to bed pretty early.
Sunday: It was raining and cloudy and I swear that I could have slept until noon, but I got up about 9ish. Made breakfast of french toast and really scary turkey bacon, which was really not good. But the french toast was. Then, we went over to Mayfair and wandered around a bit and then went to Crate and Barrel and got Jim and Loni a wedding present. Then, we just sat around more and then around 6ish, Josh and Kristine went home.
Monday, I had off, so I could do the 8 loads of laundry that I had to catch up on, which I was able to complete, so I was happy. Also went over to the Gap and found a cute dress to wear for the wedding. I'm pretty excited. I just glad that I will get to see everyone when they are down here for the events on Saturday. I mean, we could have seen them, but it's nice to go to the event that everyone else is going as well.
I guess that brings everyone up to speed on the workings of my life in the past week.
I really like the new job. It's really nice and quiet in the office, the work is interesting and the people that I work with are really nice. So, things are really good there. I think that I will probably go to working 30 hours a week in August and then up to full time in September, after Labor Day. I have to talk to my supervisor about it yet, but I think that she will probably be okay with it. I figure that after I get back from my running around at the end of July, beginning of August, I will start 30 hours a week and then by Fall, I can probably work full time again.
My mom and dad are also paying off my major cc debt for me and I am paying them back, so I should start full time so I can pay them back faster rather than slower.
Anyway, I guess that's all for today. Maybe I'll be back in a week to do another really really really long update!
bye bye now

Remember that time that Jake will probably punch me in the face...
When he finds out that I accidentally dropped my seven year old DVD player and now there's a part rattling around in there that wasn't before. Whoops.
I was changing them over so I could throw on a MST3K and my DVD player is SO old that it couldn't read the disks, but Jake's worked, so I was switching them. At least I broke mine and not his.
I guess that I should have just kept re-watching Firefly on DVD. Maybe it's a sign. Plus, I do love the guy that plays the Doctor character on that show. I'd totally do stuff. Mostly touching.
Well, hopefully he's not too pissed at me. We really don't need my DVD player, but it was nice to have two. Oh well.
At least I got laundry done and the living room is picked up. I even unpacked more crap and put Jake's old desk back together.
The new job is actually pretty boring. I don't know if that is something that I would do full time. I mean, I know that I'm just learning and I will probably end up learning more than originally planned, but it's just a job, like any other job. At least it's an accounting job (finally!). I really am more geared toward that sort of thing. Plus, if I stay there, the ease and cheapness of buying a house will be good. My supervisor said that the agents there will really cut you a nice deal if you work through them.
So, ANYWAY, I guess that's all. I'll fold wash, watch "Girls Town" and wait for Jake to come home so I can get yelled at. Oh, wait, here we go, he's home. BYE!

So what if I can't prove that I born in the US right now?
No SSN card, No Birth Certificate, No Marriage License. Oops.
Those three items have disappeared. whoops.
So, I have to get new ones. The BC is a pain because it's in Cleveland. Cook County, Ohio. The SSN card will just take a while. And the marriage license is in EC. Well, looks like it's the old SSN card. I wish I knew what the frack that I did with all of those things. I just have this feeling that where EVER they are, they are, at least, all together.
And I don't think that anyone has stolen my ID. Maybe I should check that out.
Whoops.
Anyway, start work tomorrow again. Looking forward to it, I think. At least it's something to do for 4 hours a day. And money. Each day that I work is another $40 in my pocket. And $40 that I didn't have before.
Whelp, back to the drugery that is my life.

Been waitin' all day for this
This wasn't working today, so I had to wait ALL DAY....
I'm employed again. Two weeks off was enough apparently. I guess that it's just not the same if you don't really have any one to hang out with. Not that I mind hanging out with Jake, but sitting around all day with no one to hang out with just isn't that great. It's lonely.
So, I have a part-time job with Realty Executives in Brookfield. It's 10 to 2 Monday through Friday. I get paid more than Jake per hour. And the person who is in charge of me is really nice and I'm looking forward to having something to do during the day. And money. AND I can still take off to go to EC for the week at the end of July and all that good stuff. I'm sure it will be fine to take off a Friday or Monday here and there. We'll see what happens with everything.
Nothing much to report. Got a little more unpacked and some more stuff moved around the apartment today. I'm hopeful to have it all settled by Sunday. With the weekend to get everything set up and ready to go, it should be okay.
I'm just looking forward to having something to do during the day, at least for 4 hours and then coming home and sitting. The lady who is in charge of me seems to think that I can go to full time eventually too. So, if I like the job and everything works out well, I can get full time hours and benefits from the place. It's very much accounting work too, so I don't have to deal with customers that much! YEAH!!!
Well, I guess that that's pretty much it for tonight. Maybe I'll be back in a couple days.

Sittin' around
We have new carpeting and a more picked up living room. The bedroom, dining room and "office" aka second bedroom are still a mess. It is slowly but surely coming together.
I'm really bored, however. I need a job or something to do. I'm going to my mom and dad's house tomorrow to do all of our laundry, workout, and just hang out a bit with better TV. I'll probably practice for a while too. I need to do that.
Especially since I'm going to try to audition for graduate school in Madison, I think. Horn performance grad school. We'll give her a try and see how she goes. I'll probably go there to look around and meet Doug Hill, possibly have a lesson and that good stuff, you know. We'll see what happens.
It'll be good to go and play with ECCT in July. Something to do. I think that there should be a lot of camping too.
Even drunk on a bet you make it to Canada. Sorry, watching Lewis Black on DVD.
I think that Brooke and Josh and maybe Kristine will be here next weekend. That doesn't leave much to do for this weekend, however. I'm not sure what we will do...
It's scary to have no social circle. Or to have your social circle 4 hours away. Yuck.
Okay, well, I think that I'll leave it at that and say good night. Good night.

Destination: Wauwatosa
That's W-a-u, W-a, T-o-s-a.
You don't pronounce a second 'u' in that word.
All moved. Not unpacked, about 40% done with that. It will probably take the week to complete. It's weird to be here, but that's okay, I think. The apartment is really nice and I think that we have really nice neighbors, so things will be okay, I believe.
Glad to see that the internet didn't disappear while I was off of it for a while.
Nothing much to say, unfortunately. Just tired. Sitting and borrowing my parents internet, until we have ours in the morning tomorrow. Which I am really looking forward to.
Send me messages and things. And, hell, come down and visit us.
OH!!!!
July 3rd, 9pm and 11pm : LEWIS BLACK at SUMMERFEST!!! alkjslkjasdflkakldsj!
