New Job'd'd'd
I'm officially promoted now. I just accepted the new position over the phone just this minute. My official movement is August 16th -- which will have put me at my job for 5 1/2 months before I was promoted to bigger and better things.
Well, okay, I don't know that they are bigger and better, but certainly I get paid more and I'll be busier.
Sweet.
Soon to go to the Simpsons Movie. Hooray!

The Movies
So, my mom bought the four of us tickets this week to see the Simpsons Movie on Friday -- opening day! At the Rosebud too -- they have sweet food there.
I love the Simpsons -- I really wish that I had the obsession to watch it every Sunday -- I don't watch TV obsessively like I did when I was in high school or college even. I watch what I watch and that's that. I catch it, I catch it; I miss it...oh well.
The Simpsons does one other thing, which is this: it reminds me, very much, of Branden. I couldn't even buy the sixth season and seventh seasons for months after he was gone, much less watch them. We would, when the occassion arose, talk about when the new seasons were coming out and so forth. I'm sorry that he missed all the seasons that are coming out now and I'm very sorry that he's missing the movie premiere.
Just reminds me of the fact that I can't believe that he's gone and how much I miss him.
Anyway, I'm very excited to go see the movie!! w00t.

The Final Book (and some other stuff)
was written too fast and not edited well enough. That being said, I really enjoyed the story -- I wish that she would have taken another 6 months to edit and possibly flesh out more of the ideas from the last book.
It was a very different book from the first 6.
Off to a work party for Jake today. Should be fun.
Not much else going on.
EDIT: I DID forget something. Jake and I are playing with the Menomonee Falls Symphony Orchestra on Saturday at 6:30pm. So, we have a dress rehearsal tomorrow at 7. I'm totally looking forward to it, because it's going to be total pops music, I'm sure.
I also have the vacant horn spot next year. I'm pretty excited. I can't remember if I said this already here, so if I did, here it is again. TAKE THAT!!! :)

Harry Potter Mania
It's OC now. Two days to go and everyone is creaming themselves thinking that the book is leaked and then there's this OTHER one that is REALLY the REAL book and dah dah dah...
I read the leaked so-called "carpet" copy (or part of it). Because I could. I will say that if it IS the real deal -- it's got a complete crap ending, but the story was pretty good until I stopped reading. I think that it's fanfic photoshopped into something that sort of resembles what the real book would look like...
I like all the people who say "I look in a library and I've read it and everything that is said is totally true"...well, forgive me if I think you're full of shit. Especially when the supposed "real" copy has a SWEAR WORD in it!!! PEOPLE! THINK! While millions of adults read these books, they are FIRST and FOREMOST a CHILDREN'S BOOK!!!!!
(OVEREMPHASIS'D'D'D!!)
Well, I guess in two short days, I will have the book in my possession and I will know if I am talking out my ass here or if I'm justified. I am enjoyed all of the freaking out and general craziness that is going on however. And I have every intention of driving down to Pick N Save two blocks or so from the house and buying the book at midnight and reading until I'm too tired to get up. And then I go run in the Sausage Race.
And hey, if there's anyone out there who knows already, feel free to call me a jerk. But, not anonymously. Because that would be rude.
Anyway, not much else to report. Until later...

New Link
I added a new link on the side -- it's just a new blog for me to keep track of my running, so I can have a more accurate picture of what I am doing and how I am progressing.
Hey, what can I tell you?
I was (accidentally) told that I job the promotion at work that I applied for, which is totally sweet, but I'm waiting to hear the "official" word, hopefully tomorrow or Friday.
Also, my dad bought me new golf clubs today!! Yes! Nike Ignite - Women's clubs; they are pretty sweet. I have 2 hybrids and 6 irons, brand new. Next on the list I think might be a new putter. And then a new bag. And then new woods/driver. Woot.
I'm pretty excited to go try them out. We're currently trying to get both sound channels working and have the TV stay in color. Now I'm being accused of breaking said cords. Whelp, I'm going to practice. See you later.

O mio face
It's finally not hot and muggy out again. I have the windows and doors open. Oooh. I should go upstairs and open up there. Hang on, we've got pizza.....
Okay better. I got to have two cavities filled tonight. It was so amazing. *roll eyes*
I love having my face still be numb in opposite quadrants for the entire night. Makes everything so much better. I had enough novicane OR novicane in the right spot that my face was numb right up to the bottom of my eye and my left nostril was numb. And now my face hurts. And I get to do it all over again next Tuesday. hooray. le sigh.
Dang it. I forgot to shut off the oven. Grrrr....
And I have silver fillings now. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but oh well. It doesn't really matter that much to me. They aren't that iron grey color of old timey fillings -- more light colored.
Old Man wedding was good. I was drdunk if I talked to you. Plus, I got Nims to drink beer. Which I should probably remind him of very soon. He was GESHTROYED. I was just drdunk. Seeing the people who own babies now was good. Playing was good. I enjoyed it.
Getting see hang out with Maggie and Ryan again was very sweet. But, on another level, it makes me realize how much I miss them, so it makes me sad too. We spent the weekend at Ryan's parent's house in Hastings, which was nice. They have a really nice house and they are very cool. And they bought us breakfast on Sunday morning. Finally, Jake and I spent most of the drive following Maggie and Ryan on I-94/I-90, and stopped in the Dells at the outlet mall for 45 mins before Jake and I kind of took off ahead of them to get home. We were very close, while they were still over halfway back, so it made sense.
But, I'm not sure when I will see them again. Makes a girl troubled.
Anyway, I should really shut off the oven and eat my pizza. I can feel my face unfreezing a little bit more here, so maybe I can actually eat something. Here goes nothing. :)

Happy 4th and other things
Feeling much much better. Can breathe and everything like that. Not too much coughing left. Work has been busy busy this week. Even with the days off for Old Man wedding. I have a half day tomorrow and then I'm done until Monday.
I think that the playing will be okay. I've been practicing and stuff, so I'm good. Looking forward to everything. Not totally sure where we are sleeping tomorrow night, but we'll play it by ear. Hell, if we have to sleep in the car, I guess we will. There has to be SOMEONE in EC for the night that we can crash for a bit.
I updated the old blog. Gives it more of a Miami feel to it. BRIGHT COLORS!!!!!
I thought that I would have more to say but I don't. Oh well. Bye bye
EDIT: We're staying with Adam Boll, but I am so looking forward to hanging out Thursday night. With everyone, all the time! :)
We're also staying with Ryan's parents in Hastings Friday and Saturday night (i think...yikes, we'd better be staying there!!!!), so it will be good to see them again.
Finally, I practiced again...I think that I will have the notes that I need on Saturday. Now, if I actually have a part for "DeLovely", that will be a scary proposition. Giving a horn player (and more importantly, me!) a "jazzy" tune and trying to make her sight read it...I'm slightly concerned. :) :) Okay, not really.
