Stuff'N'Things
I really like the new Macbook. The keyboard is really sweet.
I'm better. In Green Bay right now, watching stupid shit on TV and waiting for Josh and Jake to come home from the bachelor party they are at. I'm tired and if they aren't home by midnight (it's 11:40 right now), I will just go to bed. We're only here for the night.
Work is still boring, but I may have made some excellent connections through SAI. The VP-membership is the Artistic Manager for the MSO (and she's like 30ish), and so when I was introducing myself in an email, I just said that she worked where I would love to work, because that's the kind of thing that I would say. She said that she got emails all the time of openings in the area, and so I told her that if she sees anything in finance or developement, that I would totally be interested.
I got my scores back from the GMAT people. Scored a 580 out of 800 (which is really pretty good) on the verbal/quantitative sections and a 6 out of 6 on the written portion. So, I hope that's enough for me to get into school there. When they get my scores, my application is complete, so hopefully they can make a quick decision. Cross your fingers.
Back to SAI...anyway, so I'm hoping that that is a good connection there, as well as some of the connections that I have made for playing opportunities. Anything would be excellent right now. Seems like there is no shortage of french horns around these parts.
I felt better that night at home, after I posted. We talked. We always do. I really have been trying not to bottle everything up anymore. I remember where that got me. Well, it didn't end up badly, but it definitely wasn't a happy place. I still have a couple of things from that time period that I'm not too happy with myself about, but they can't be changed now. They are what they are.
We watched 48 Hours on CBS tonight, where they had a story about this girl who went on a cruise ship with her recovering boyfriend and a bunch of friends and ended up dying of a methadone overdose and nobody will say what really happened, even though I thought it was obvious that the girl forgot that her dumbass boyfriend put his methadone in a Nyquill bottle and smuggled it on board and took some of it to sleep. But, there are unanswered questions and such, so...
The more important thing was that this whole thing took place 24 hours before the bus accident. I don't know if it was the full moon and all the planets were aligned that weekend or what, but it seems to me that a LOT of crazy ass fucked up shit went down that weekend, for everyone on the earth. Lots of people making fucking stupid decisions and other people paying the price. It was very strange. Just to hear that it had been a year -- where's the national story on the bus accident? Where's the story about the APPALLING fact that this asshole dumps his truck over, kills a bunch of people and then says that he's innocent of the crimes, because of some other BS. Any person who was human would have settled a long time ago and confessed. I understand that the day in court wouldn't have happened then, but to say that he didn't really do anything (which is what innocent means to me), is just, inhuman. I consider him a monster with no soul and I get a creepy feeling looking at him.
Well, anyway. I don't know why I said all that. He should be on "To Catch A Predator" on Dateline.
Okay, prolly time for bed. It's almost midnight and they aren't back.
Good night!

I think that I watched too much sad TV tonight...
I'm just sad tonight. Well, that and having stupid fights with Jake that don't make sense and don't matter, but I don't think that we will ever shake that first year of marriage. It seems like no matter what I do or say, things will never be right. I can't make a mistake or everything gets all fucked up. So, I will continue to ruin good days because I say one thing wrong.
The month is coming and it's not slowing down. I don't really know what to think. I know that I will enjoy it (birthdays and things and such), but I just...I don't know. And I'm not like, that involved. I guess I'm too empathetic.
I think the lack of sunlight is making me more tired and sadder than usual too. AND AND AND! and, the fact that I really do not like working where I am. I cannot tell you what a difference it makes. When you want to be going somewhere and you don't mind getting up in the morning and going, versus having to drag yourself out of bed and sit there all day and try and entertain yourself is just...ugh. I need more entertainment. Plus, I hate having to drive, even if it's only 20 minutes and out in the country mostly.
I'm really out of things to say at this point. I think that I'll post when I'm in a better mood and actually feel like saying good things about my life.

Rest of Weekend Update
Well, I can tell that I was hung over yesterday in my other post, because it's all disjointed and doesn't really make sense.
I was hung over all day yesterday. Headache all day. Well, to be honest, I had cramps yesterday too, so the ibuprofen was doing double duty and the cramps came first, which is okay with me. Went for lunch at Olive Garden -- which was delicious -- and just hung out all -- went to hear the Marchy march band at the International Fall Festival, and they were really good. some of the trumpet players in the band are arrogant little pricks, but the rest of the kids are just there for a good time, you know. And it sounded great. The DMs looked great too.
Went golfing with Jake and Nims -- didn't do well. I was really tired and couldn't really focus on my proper hitting techniques and shit. So, I was topping a lot of balls.
Just hung out the rest of the night, built a fire and hung out at Hastings. Nims was WASTED!!! and he tapped out about 10:30. I didn't drink, but I did listen to a lot of funny stories and stuff -- like the one about where I was so drunk at Joy of Hastings -- you remember -- and I told Keith's woman that she should never get married ever. And then Keith proposed to her. oops. If he wants, I'll take it back. I was SO depressed and SO drunk. Now I just feel like a jerk. A lot. Oh well. Shit happens.
Went to bed and woke up today. Nims is totally sweet. wow.
Well, I'm out. Until later.

Mid-Weekend Update
So, the memorial service/funeral was short, which was good, but I got sad when Jake's cousin, who is about 17 or 18 was upset, because I remember how I felt when my grandparents passed away at that age...
So, we ate lunch at Ponderosa, which was okay, hung out in Pulaski for a couple hours with Jake's parents and then drove to the EAU C!!!! Got there around 6:45 and sat at Hastings for a while, then drove up to Chippewa Falls for Oktoberfest, where I ate the "Intimidator" a 1/3# hot dog (and don't let anyone tell you differently: I found it first) AND these totally amazing sweet potato fries. Soooooo good!
Drank a little beer up there, drove back to Hastings 3.0, grabbed Nims and walked over to the Beaver Lodge for the Oktoberfest party there. It was fun -- I was having a good time. Too loud and WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT I DIDN'T KNOW!!! But, saw Ben HD, Keith, Josh, Justin, Laura, Mary Heiman, Errin, Hayley, lots of people that I DID know and most importantly: JOHNSEB!!!!!
We hung the rest of the night, after Jakie and Nimbies left to go sleep; Justina drove me back to Hastings at 2:30, when they were on the way to Perkins. I was pretty drunk. I got the spins a little when I laid down.
It was good to see her and talk about stuff and things again. I missed her A LOT!!! The ONE thing that I miss is being so close and being able to be here more. Oh well. Things happen. It was fun just to talk about everything again.
We went to Olive Garden for lunch, which was AMAZING! Linguini with alfredo and soup and stuffed mushrooms! So delicious.
We're hanging out now. It's 2:15. I really want to go golfing, but I just am feeling that we're not going to go. I guess we can go after the marchy march band plays. at like 4:30. I'll just make us go straight away after we are done with watching them. Unless it's totally lame and then whatev.
Anyway, that's all for now...more coming as it happens.

I wish that I knew what triggered these...
For the first time in a very long time, I dreamt about Branden again.
Another weird one where everyone knew that he had passed away, but he was still there in the room anyway. And nobody really minded. Of course. I just remember being so upset that I couldn't talk to him, which most people were doing...someone was talking to him, but now I don't remember who, but it was when I noticed that he was there in the room.
There was a musi hist test going on, which I didn't have to take. Let me tell ya, there was a whole lot of crazy jumping around from situation to situation in this one.
I want to say it was James talking to him, but I'm not totally sure.
But, anyway, I was so upset about it that I knew if I talked to him I would just burst out crying, but Andrea forced me to talk to him by announcing something to the entire room about how much she loved him, I think.
I remember fighting going over to talk to him and being kind of angry with Andrea for focusing the room over on where we were. (GOSH, this sounds selfish)When did go talk to him, all I could do was hug him and I burst out crying. All I could say was "why did it have to be you?" After that, we communicated by writing in red felt tipped marker pen on an old typewriter. I don't know why I couldn't just speak to him, like everyone else was doing, but since I only remember one person talking to him, maybe that person was different. But, I just kept crying. And then I woke up and I still don't know if I was crying in my sleep or I started right after I woke up, but I was really upset.
But, I am convinced that this one was probably my brain scrunching things together over the past couple weeks of people (and animals) that have passed away.
the more I think about it, the more I am convinced that he was sitting next to James and talking with him. at least before I went over by him.
I don't dream about him too often, and I hate dreaming about it in a way that makes me seem more important than I was in his world, but when I do, I have to write it all down or I just feel weird the whole day.
I wasn't planning on another post, but here it is anyway. I guess I just miss him. Or I miss Andrea. or both. or junkyard. Can't wait to see everyone on Friday. :)
On a completely unrelated note to above: Did anyone see those "webisodes" from BSG on scifi.com? I think G.nate wrote about them. They are kind of cool. I love that show. I really wish that we could get cable before they start again. But, I would want to get digital cable to get BBC America too. Maybe I'll just order it and money be damned. You can't take it with you anyway.

So, I can write about these things now...
The Heyers had to have Kirby put down a week ago. It was pretty sad, but he was really sick too, so it's good that he doesn't have to try and exist with non-functioning kidneys. And then, Grandpa B (Jake's grandpa) passed away yesterday, BUT, he was REALLY REALLY sick, so it's good that he doesn't have to suffer anymore as well.
The memorial service is on Friday in the morning and Kristine can't make it, Jack won't be back, Brooke can't fly home in time, and Grandma Judy is in Vietnam right now. For those of you who know anything about the situation, I will give you three guesses as to who set up said service. I understand that her husband just passed away, but half of his family and grandchildren (who knew him MUCH MUCH longer than you!) can't be there, you're being ridiculous and selfish.
Grrrrrr....
It really makes me angry to think about. So I won't.
But, I have to ask off of work on Friday, which I don't think will be a problem, and hopefully, it won't be a problem for Jake. We'll probably need a drink by Friday night. And a Nims.
Just a boring week around here. Actually have been busy at work and been working to my regular time of 6pm. Even stayed until 6:15 tonight, but that was because Marge called me and I talked to her between 5 and 6. I wanted to finish what I was working on. So, at least I've had enough to keep me busy. I think that if the owner buys another office, like he was planning on doing, it will be enough to keep me busy during the day, every day. So, I hope that it happens.
The cats are as annoying as ever. We don't sleep very well early in the AM and I keep having to come out and sleep in the living room, so Jake can keep sleeping. So annoying. I'm not really sure how to keep them from bugging me in the AM. Feeding them really does nothing.
I miss people. I'm glad to be seeing everyone this weekend, even if I am not feeling incredibly social this weekend. It's tough working full time. :)
I DO hope that I get into grad school...I know that it will make me more busy, but my job is not so hard that I can't handle it. I've decided that if I don't make it in UWM, I will try UW-Whitewater. They have a program as well.
Well, I guess that's all for this week. Just a different week this week. I wish that I would have had the gumption to finish cleaning up the back room during the summer, I'll have to do it the weekend of the 22nd. Jake will be in Green Bay for a Bachelor Party that weekend, so I'll be here by my lonesome on Saturday and Sunday prolly. Maybe I'll run away. :)
Until later...

I miss people. I'm glad to be seeing everyone this weekend, even if I am not feeling incredibly social this weekend. It's tough working full time. :)
I DO hope that I get into grad school...I know that it will make me more busy, but my job is not so hard that I can't handle it. I've decided that if I don't make it in UWM, I will try UW-Whitewater. They have a program as well.
Well, I guess that's all for this week. Just a different week this week. I wish that I would have had the gumption to finish cleaning up the back room during the summer, I'll have to do it the weekend of the 22nd. Jake will be in Green Bay for a Bachelor Party that weekend, so I'll be here by my lonesome on Saturday and Sunday prolly. Maybe I'll run away. :)
Until later...

Graduate Management Admissions Test
That's what GMAT stands for. I could never remember the M part.
Done and done. And I mean, done.
Got a 580. Did better than 64% of the people taking the test, supposedly. My writing sections were pretty good too, I think and I even managed to slip a music reference into one of them. Of course, while I was coming back from a break, I looked at the guy the to me's computer and he of course has an essay question about government and the arts...of course! Who wants a question like that? grr...that would have been perf.
I did really well on the math stuff and better that I thought that I would on the verbal. That was just based on my practicing all week. At least it wasn't $250 down the drain. Unless I don't get accepted. And that would suck.
So, I'm stoked. Going to see the craptacular Brewers play at County Stadium...I mean, Miller Park tonight with the mom and pop. and the husband, of course. Just a nice relaxing weekend.
I'm looking forward to football starting again, but probably not to the crappy season the Packers are going to have again this year....oh well. If 600 million people on their team don't get hurt this year, like last, I'm cool.
I NEED FOOD!!!!

NEW PHONE NUMBER!!!
I went over to Sprint today and I got converted to a 414 number. No more LD for the people down here. YEA!!!
Anyway, if you want me to call you so you can save my number, let me know by leaving a message. If you're friends with me in the Stalkerbook, I mean, Facebook, I put it on my profile for my friends. So, there yah go.
I called my speed dials, but beyond that I'm lazy.
Went to dinner with the pop-pop tonight too -- Chili's was amazing. I'm WAY too full. Definitely need to start running or regular exercise. Going back to the pilates every other day should be my goal.
BAH!

What a week!
Saint Louis was great. Maggie has a great house, but I've dubbed her street "Ghetto Way" instead of it's real name because it's down a hill and reminds me a little bit of some of the houses in the Eau C ghetto area. It was nice to see her and Ryan and the kitty! I have pictures. I just have to get them off my camera.
The drive was kind of long. But, it was worth it. I'm hopeful that we can get more time off where we can spend a longer time down there. We'll see. It will probably be difficult. We ate a Maggiano's for dinner on Sunday, which was okay. It wasn't that great, but we did have a $25 GC, so that was good. I'd like to try it with just ordering regular off the menu. Just hung out mostly. Maggie and I spent a couple hours trying to catch a stray cat and her two kittens, but we couldn't do it. The momma cat was really nice and easy to catch, but the kittens were more skiterish.
It was a fun time all around.
Got back to work yesterday and had to work the whole day! GUH! Well, I worked until 4, then packed everything up to move out to Hartland to work out there now. We have SO much more space out there, so I'm very glad that we moved. We each have our own space and I'm going to decorate mine all pretty. With what, I don't know, but I'll do it. The drive is longer, of course, but I'm glad we have a bigger space.
I am working full time now, so that will be good. More money and such.
This Saturday I have to take the GMAT for admissions to UWM for the Accounting Masters program. I also contacted the Wilson Center for the Arts in Brookfield, because they have a couple positions open there that I am interested in. I just really have no future at Realty Execs now. I can see that. I don't mind working there, but there is really going to be no opportunity for me to advance and like, run the accounting department or something like that. But, it's probably worth it to try to stay until I'm really done with school.
Well, I'm off to start some wash so I have clothes to wear this week and weekend AND to do some more studying for the GMAT. My biggest weakness right now is Math and reasoning like that. Reading and sentences and Verbal I don't have a major problem with, but I do need to just focus for the rest of the week on that. I'm not wasting $250.
Wish me Luck!

Finally!
It's sunny! YES!
Finally, finally, finally. So, I'm in a good mood.
Work was as boring as ever. Looking forward to going to STL this weekend. My only problem will be I will want to go longer and I won't want to leave. Le sigh.
I made double chocolate brownies and peanut butter cookies today. I had a hankerin' for pb.
I also found this thing that I immediately knew was fate and that I should probably buy it. But, it's for Yakob. So, I have to send it to him.
I should prolly go check on said cookies.
Just wanted to make a happier post.
ta!

I feel like I should have known...
I had that same damn feeling this morning that I did the morning Branden died.
I even turned on the TV to make sure that nothing major had happened in the area overnight.
It makes me sad. I'm going to start to really have to start listening to that feeling, if I ever have it.
I think that's part of the reason that I could never be alone in the apartment, and this just sort of reinforces that theory for me.
Granted, I was not close to Kelly, but I did know him and he was truly a good person. I am happy to have known him.
God Bless You, Kelly. You will be missed.

Le Sigh
Recap of week: Really dislike the job right now. There is not enough for three people to do...I can hardly keep myself busy for 4 hours. But, I know that if they would just get rid of someone, things would be a-ok. I don't really give a crap who is in charge of what or who checks what, to be honest with you, but someone needs to go! And if they don't get their shit together soon, it's probably going to be me. I'm very tired of putting up with all the crap. I hate going because I don't want to hear the latest bullshit. It is RIDICULOUS that people think that just because they are bestest friends that they need to employ their bestest friends so they have a job, no matter if they are qualified for said job or NOT.
Rant over.
So, Jake's at work today and then he's going up to GB for a bachelor night with all of the guys in the wedding (or most of them) that he's in the first weekend in October. I think that he's staying on Sunday, to hang out with Josh too. I was thinking about going to up the Eau C (my dad was going today), but then found out that the BMB started camp today. So, while it would have been fun to be up there, because everyone is back, marching band camp would have made the day boring and then I would have left Sunday. One night just wasn't worth it. And we're going to see Maggie and Ryan next weekend, so that wasn't an option. Brooke's in CA, that's out. James and Colin were another option, but a) they just got there and b) I just saw Colin, so that crossed my mind for a split second before I realized the following:
I should probably just stay home and clean up the apartment.
Not really as much fun, but needs to be done. I have to clean out the cage downstairs because our bikes need to fit in there, and they definitely do NOT right now. I need more storage and more space. Or less stuff.
To be honest, I don't know why I am wasting the time writing all this down, but I feel like. I'm watching this movie on MPTV that is film noir, but I can't tell if it's pre or post "The Maltese Falcon" or "The Big Sleep". The actors sound like Bogart and Bacall, but I don't know who was imitating who at this point. Perhaps if I knew the name of said movie. I'll probably go look it up.
I need some friends down here. Or I need to move to Saint Louis. Either one.
Rant over.
So, Jake's at work today and then he's going up to GB for a bachelor night with all of the guys in the wedding (or most of them) that he's in the first weekend in October. I think that he's staying on Sunday, to hang out with Josh too. I was thinking about going to up the Eau C (my dad was going today), but then found out that the BMB started camp today. So, while it would have been fun to be up there, because everyone is back, marching band camp would have made the day boring and then I would have left Sunday. One night just wasn't worth it. And we're going to see Maggie and Ryan next weekend, so that wasn't an option. Brooke's in CA, that's out. James and Colin were another option, but a) they just got there and b) I just saw Colin, so that crossed my mind for a split second before I realized the following:
I should probably just stay home and clean up the apartment.

And that was the most that I ever threw up.
Ate WAY WAY too much for dinner. Then went golfing with Jake. I don't know why exactly the golf made me MORE full after walking around and stuff, but I think that it has something to do with not processing all of the water that I chugged down. Needless to say, I only feel like laying around and not thinking. And trying to not throw up. Although...I bet I would feel a LOT better if I DID!
Shot a 38 on a par 27, which made me feel great! I even got two pars and was a millimeter from two birdies on the first hole and the 8th hole. And the 8th was 100 yds, but it was completely up hill. I don't know if I've just golfed more this past summer than before, but I have been doing pilates religiously everyday and I think that may have helped. I want to see what doing pilates 10 days in a row will do for me.
But, if I keep eating too much, it won't do jack shit for me. So, no more overeating. Guh. Plus, I just feel bad. Oh well. Jake and I are going to watch Narnia on the DVD and he will drink coffee, out of his new coffee maker that he bought today. He made $125 on a gig two weeks ago, so I told him that he could buy a new one. Then, he'll stop hinting that he wants a new one, when Christmas is a LONG way off.
I've noticed that many people are heading back to the Eau C this week -- Marching Band camp and the like. I don't know if I feel jealous or not. There are only a handful of people left in EC that I hang with or that I would call a close friend. Many are out and about in the world or we have just fell out of touch. I don't think that I am jealous, but one thing that I did learn (and I'm sure that I've said this already) was that seeing friends, when you are only seeing them a short time and then heading away where you won't see any again, reminds you of what you don't have instead of what you do have. Probably not a good state of mind. You just feel lonely. There's no one my age at work really and same with Jake and I don't know. I'm just not into that party scene unless I'm very comfortable with the goings on at the time (or I'm fucking trashed), so it is useless for me to go to bars in MKE, etc. That, and I'm really ready to be done with this place too...
NOW look where I am. How did I think myself down this road....? GRRRRR!
Anyway, MY POINT is that I miss everyone, but I don't think that I am that sad that it is back to school up there and we're down here. We'll be up there eventually. :)

And it goes...
Fast weekend. Drove up to GB after work on Friday, found out that Jack was fishing all night, stopped at the mall, found a SWEET dress, which actually looked pretty good on me, ate dinner and had a beer. Hung out at Heyer house until 11:00pm, when we had to pick up Betsy at the airport, because she was flying home from LA/Brookie.
Went to bed late (1:30am). Woke up REALLY late on Saturday (10:45), but sat around for some hours and then got ready for wedding. Drove to chapel (which was very small) for short wedding ceremony. Drove to bar for drinks and appetizers. Went to wedding reception, which was VERY small again. The Bar was VERY smoky and it didn't seem like the staff at the reception hall was taking care of the reception very well.
Hung around for a while, did not drink, was very crabby and tired, until Pepsi, then was awake. Left, sat up a big at night and went to bed.
Got up at 8am, sat around until 12noon, went mini-golfing, which I tied/won with Kristine, got EXTREMELY CRABBY/ANGRY at the grocery store, drove home, sat alone/watch the Nextel cup race/Golf on TV, ate dinner, watched more TV, ate cake, went home.
Went to Target, Blockbuster, and Chipotle (for CHIPS AND GUACAMOLE!) and am sitting around typing on this blog.
I'm really just tired and not feeling very well. Have to work tomorrow, but Jake has off. We're going to go golfing over at the nearby golf course tomorrow afternoon and I think that Jake said that he would take me to dinner, which is looking less and less likely right now, because Jake is talking to me about buying a new coffee maker. Guh. Why did I say it was okay? I'm crazy.
Oh well, I'm done for the night. Sorry for the play-by-play. I can't talk about myself all the time and have to do the superfical BS on occasion!

Whoops
Remember when Jake forgot to reset his alarm today and we both woke up at 9? Oops.
Anyway, I think that I may have finally made a decision about going back to school, which I have been going back and forth about. After thinking about who I know that is in graduate school and thinking about the amount of time and effort I would have to put into getting back to where I was in 2004, right after my recital, I probably would not be able to go back for music performance. Which, I think, after have a conversation with Adam on the way home from Ohio, is probably not what I want to do REALLY, I just want to play more than never. So, I contacted some groups in the area to see if they are needed any horns (or trumpets, for Jake). The Music Director of the Menonomee Falls Symphony Orchestra has answered me back and will be getting in touch with me about it, because they need subs for their horn players sometimes. And I think that will be enough. If I really wanted to do performance, I should have made the switch over back in 2002, when I finally decided that music ed could go fuck itself. More so, the School of Ed at UWEC. I'm generally about 2 to 3 years behind my real age. Like I've said, 23 was like the perfect age and everything has been on a downslide since.
I really hoping that having some kids will be another upswing. :) But, not just right now.
ANYWAY, I think that my decision is to go to graduate school, but to go for a Master of Science in Accounting! UW-Downtown has a program where if you have another Bachelor's degree (in another area), you can apply for a program to get a Master's in Accounting, as WELL as get enough hours to sit for the CPA exam. I think that this will help for two reasons: 1. I can probably ask my job if they will reimburse me part of my fees and stuff, because it's related to work and 2. If I finish my studies, there is a chance that I can still work in the financial part of the arts for a company or orchestra.
WEll, I have to go to work. No updates this weekend -- I'm internet free! BYE!

Misc.
I think that I'm going to update once an hour to make up for those who only update every 6 months or so.
So, we're not going to be in EC for Homecoming as planned (which is a bummer) because Jake is in a wedding that weekend in Green Bay, which will be totally awesome. Did you know that you can register for a honeymoon and people can buy you parts of your honeymoon? Tip to all those who are getting married in the future. Even if the future means 10 years. Hey, if you've got all the householdy crap and what-not, what else are you going to register for?
I was sad about Homecoming, just because, but since I am not sure if anything else will be going on related to the one-year anniversary of the world exploding, maybe it's better that we can go another weekend. I DID want to attempt a Branden Atherton Memorial Pub Crawl. Branden always wanted to play golf on Water St. too.
But, I am looking forward to going to the State Marching Band Championships, mostly because we'll be right here and it should be pretty sweet. At least watching the big ones will be cool.
Anyway, that's all for today. Nothing much else.

There are things I can handle and things that I can't
I just don't understand things sometimes. They baffle me. Amaze me. There almost aren't words to describe it.
Torture almost. Why would you DO THAT?!? WHY?!
Makes me feel bad...terrible.
Well, I have to go to work, but I am going to ponder this, even though I know that I will NEVER have an answer for it. It's entirely to confusing for me to even begin comprehending it.
