Can I get a hell yes?
EAI Convention in 2009 will be in Chicago! Sweet action!
That is pretty exciting for me. I've been waiting to go to a convention since I joined. I'm also joining the alumnae chapter down here, if I can ever make it too a meeting...sheesh.
I can't wait to hear the details. Makes me wish I was in Chicago so I could help plan more than anything. Oh well. Maybe I'll run for Province officer down here or something crazy like that. :)
Anyway....
We put on offer down on a house last night. It's in West Allis again, very close to the first one. They have until the 31st to decide what they want to do. The house has been on the market for a while and actually, while it has been updated quite a bit, it needs electrical updates to 100 amp service and the basement needs to be inspected to make sure there is no serious damage down there -- one wall leaks a bit, but who knows how bad it really is.
I'll keep you updated. I don't want to say too much, because I'll just get excited and then really disappointed again, I'm sure. :) Toodles!

More updating...
So, nothing new on the house front...we have looked at a few more, but nothing special jumped out yet. We might go to a few open houses tomorrow and I might go look at some this week with the realtor by my lonesome. We are definitely going to look at some Feb. 3rd.
In the life, nothing new either. My job, I have decided, is probably the most boring thing that I have ever done. There is a distinct difference between being bored because you're out of stuff to do for the day (even if it IS at 10am) and just being BORED. I guess I need something where I do different stuff everyday. Definitely. It's ridiculous. I wish that I could do what I do in Brookfield instead of Hartland. That would make things a bunch easier. Oh well. I'll probably just start looking for something new again. I saw a couple jobs at US Bank (I know...I know...let's just pretend that the complaining that I did was because of the depression that I was living through and my crappy manager) that looked interesting, but I doubt that they would pay enough. We'll see...I should have a review coming up where I will probably voice my issues. I don't really give a flying fuck anymore. They know that I am WAY overqualified for the job that I am in...maybe we can talk about me moving forward, or I am just going to move on. I've had enough of trying to find my place in this company when all I needed was to have a real full time position in the accounting department and not the other two in there. I could pretty much do it all...and then they wouldn't have to be paying two people. they could just be paying me $35,000 a year.
Vent over.
It's sleepy time for me soon. Went to Hector's tonight -- delicious margaritas and good food. My parents asked us if we wanted to go and we did.
Anyway, I'm done for tonight. Good night.

We're having another go of it...
So, we found another that we really liked. It is in West Allis (again) and it is pretty much sweet. Total retro kitchen and a super nice basement. Like, really nice. The whole place is really well taken care of too.
We shall see what tomorrow brings. :)

Update
So, house #1 that we liked = gone...
Stupid other agents not even sending a counteroffer...
Anyway, we're going to go look at a few on Wednesday night, which should be good. There is one in Waukesha that we are going to look at and from the pictures, it looks like, if everything is cool, we might put an offer in on that one. Waukesha would be pretty sweet to live in too. Plus, I'd be closer to worky work.
I won't get my hopes up this time however.
So, you'll be hearing from me again this time on Wednesday or Thursday, hopefully with some kick ass news...if not, then the search continues.
EDIT: P.S. Thanks for all the nice comments guys! Just keep checking back...or check my status on facebook? It'll be here for all the world to see! :)

The Hunt for the Perfect House
Okay, so we've really only been looking for a little itty bitty bit. A couple weeks. We went to some open houses around last weekend -- 2, one in West Allis, one in Tosa -- and they were okay. West Allis = v. big, but lots of work needed. Tosa = v. small, no work needed. No basement or garage however.
Today, we went to look at five houses. The first was just in the City of Milwaukee (i know, i know), but it was okay. It was HUGE! and needed some updates, but had a basement, and it was okay. There was a sold sign on it, so that was confusing to say the least. Not a favorite. The next was in Tosa, was v. updated and nice, but again, was v. big and had NO driveway and only ONE freakin parking space! One. Unbelievable. And you can't park on the street in Tosa like in the Eau C. So, that was the end of that one. The next was a total fix-er-upper and was total crap. the only place I didn't feel dirty was the basement. And I HATE basements for the most part.
The next two were in West Allis. The first was one with no basement, but a garage. It was pretty sizable, and included some applicances as well as only really needing cosmetic updates for the most part. Painting, some new carpet in a room and what not. Had a HUGE backyard. Huge. We really were liking it. We saw one more, which was weird, because the whole house had a slant to it. And there was no basement to look at the problem.
So, after we were done and our real estate agent went home, Jake pretty much decided that he wanted to put an offer down on it, so we had the agent do it and email us the paperwork and we signed it and we're sending her over to the other agent tomorrow morning. It's very exciting. We've requested an April closing date so we don't have double payments to a house and rent. We'll see what happens. I hope we get it. It's very exciting.

I'm joining the party....

Whatever we have around the house...water or juice is the first choice -- soda is at worky work.

Ranch.
What is your favorite type of food/cuisine?
Fake American Italian and Real Italian....although, from what I was reading today while hacking the web, I've never eaten real italian food.
What movies could you watch over and over and still love?
Serenity, Miracle, Apollo 13, What a Girl Wants...in fact, I think that it's still in the player and I will probably watch it. It's not, but I'm going to watch it anyway. I love Colin Firth.
Were you in sports in high school?
Soccer, freshman year. I played from the time I was 8 until 14. I could have kept playing in high school, but I decided to stop. There was no hope of me making varsity.
Were you a boy/girl scout?
Yes. I was in girl scouts for as long as I played soccer. It was fun, for the most part.
When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper and mailed it?
Well, it was either writing to Jill while she was at basic training in 2001 or writing to this girl named Liz that I was friends with because she was dating a friend from high school -- I mean, she went to the same high school I did, but not at the same time. I think the last time that I wrote her was before she went to Madison.

Yes...that jaw. I think he could swallow me whole.
Which are better Legos or Lincoln Logs?
Legos are the bomb.
Red wine or white wine?
White. And Joe, you have to spell entree right. And no, I'm not putting that stupid accent mark on there. :)
Are you stubborn?
Damn right I am. It's part of my charm.

What do you wear to bed?
Depends. t-shirt and undies, t-shirt and pants, undies only....it's a wide and varied thing.

Dang it!
So, my dad emails me this morning and asks "Do you know where your Mom's #1 DVD for Firefly is, the box only has 2, 3, and 4?"........................
FUCK!
The last place that I REMEMBER watching the dvd was in Ohio with Adam Boll while we were having quiet time on Saturday night. I swear that I checked and made sure that we took the DVD's with us, but I'm worried that I left one in the player in my quest to get drunk that night.
So, I have a copy that I can give my mom to replace it, but it really irritates me that I possibly left the DVD there, because I was trying SO HARD to not do that.
So, anyway...I'm waiting to hear back from Colin, so I can remember who was the owner of said DVD player.
So frustrating.
I'm going to look around the apartment, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't watch it after I got back here.
FUCK FUCK FUCK! and DANG IT!

M. Night Shyamalan
You know what? I really like most of his movies. I enjoyed all of them except for Unbreakable, but I should probably go back and watch it again.
Jake and I rented Lady in the Water, which you watch when you can. It was a very good movie. Totally made up story.
In my searches about people in the movie, I was reading Bryce Dallas Howard's bio on imdb.com, which states that she became a vegetarian after watching "Earthlings" narrated by Joaquin Phoenix. You can find it fo free on Google video, if you have the stomach for watching such things. I do not. I started to watch it and I realized that I wouldn't be able to watch it for two reasons -- one, I would be crying the whole time and Jake would wonder what in the hell I was doing and then make me shut it off and two, I would probably throw up.
So, I such it off. It started on "Pets" (which is probably the easiest part to watch) and started with pet stores and puppy mills. I HATE pet stores. Never ever EVER get a pet from a pet store. That just reinforces that industry. Go to the pound. That's where I got the Mitchell cat, who is sitting next to me very nicely right meow.
I don't think that I could have made it through any part of the fur/clothing, food or comestic industry.
Man, I wish that I could play in teh film industry. That would be amazing. A dream. Maybe for another life.
Anyway, Earthlings: I just don't have it in me to finish watching. I plead ignorance for now.
But, do watch Lady in the Water. It is a good movie. Out for now.

Here's my reason for doing it
Like Amy, I too had to remove the link to Driz's blog. The reason: It doesn't work any more. Not a big surprise there, but I'm not going to have a link to something that doesn't work. That's just silly.
Saint Louis is fun. Two more whole days of being down here.
The kitties are very nice. The new one is quite skittish though and it takes her a while to learn that you are not going to hurt her or something like that.
More shopping today. Jake is really a big girl in disguise. He bought more stuff than all of us combined yesterday. Although, I did get some new sweet shoes and new sandals that I'm v. excited about.
I think that I'm going to go downstairs and get something to drink. Which would be water, since I failed to buy regular-type juice at the grocery store yesterday. oops.
Ryan really liked the Firefly that we got him. And it was on sale when we bought it, so it was win-win.

Applebee's in Tosa is Blacklisted
Well, both Applebee's in Tosa are blacklisted. Jossle, Liz, Jake and I went over there for dinner tonight and the server was TERRIBLE! Slow as hell and just dumb. Slow was the worst part.
So, we left a 5% tip. oh well. He didn't do that much anyway. We had to split up our own bill and everything anyway.
It's nice to have people around. I always enjoy it.
Anyway, that's all. Just wanted to share. I prefer the $1 taps and half price apps.
So, we left a 5% tip. oh well. He didn't do that much anyway. We had to split up our own bill and everything anyway.

Hellooooo 2007
New Years = good time
Hung out at Hastings and drank most of the afternoon. Traded calls with Colin around 6 about dinner, but when you're trying to coordinate 15 people it's no good. Ate at Arby's since other places were le closed. Was kind of drunk so didn't actually eat that much.
Watched the Packers beat up the Bears to go 8-8. I really hope that Farve is back just one more year, but it's looking pretty doubtful. He had a good year and he can still play. I say, why not? Keep a-going.
And hell, 8-8 is pretty sweet. The Packers still have the December magic.
Bunch of kids came over to Hastings before 9 and were real loud and then left. We wandered over to the House about 9:30ish, and hung. Lots of randoms this year. V. strange. Would have preferred a low key party a little more. Saw Colin, James, Johnseb, you know, the usual crowd, except a lot of the usual crowd doesn't live here anymore. Jeff, G.Nate and Adam finally (FINALLY) came over about 11pm. It was totally sweet. Jeff was Jeff, which, actually, I don't see that side of him too often anymore. Lots of guys have "my girlfriend is in the room" syndrome.
Had midnight, kissed my husband, kissed Johnseb, and just chilled. By 1 or so, everyone had calmed down or left, EXCEPT for the chick who kept hitting on Jake. That was AMAZINGLY funny to watch. I just let her do it and Jake was too drunk and too nice to stop her. I was sitting and talking to Adam and Jess a little bit and I couldn't concentrate on their music teacher discussion. Colin wandered over and I talked with him for a while, since I haven't actually had a conversation with him in 7 months. It was nice to see him and James again. And everyone. I wish that we could stay longer today, but I have a lot of cleaning to do and Josh Lee and Liz are coming down tomorrow. Ugh! It's 9:20am right now and I wish we were going home already. But, that's just me.
So, this girl that was hitting on Jake stole his visor and was hiding it behind his back and we were getting up to leave and walked over by her and very calmly and nicely said, "Can my husband have his hat back please?". Didn't even emphasize husband or anything. :) Sweet.
Went to bed around 2:15 or 2:30. I woke up at 9, because it's SUNNY OUT! YES! I love it when it's sunny. It's so great. Me = not hungover and totally sweet. :)
Old people brunch today. Well, whatever that means.
I had a great 2006 (much better than 2005), and I can't wait for what 2007 brings. I'm pretty much back to normal (for certain) and I'm looking forward to the future. Hope you all had a great end of '06 and a great start to '07.

I suppose
I should make a post since it's been a while. Nothing new to say though.
Work = same as always
It's foggy here right now. V. weird. I am planning on dragging the chritmas tree out of the apartment today, but I have lots of other things on the docket, so I might forgo that until we are back here on Monday afternoon.
Jake is working until 4pm today and then we are leaving for EC. Just to hang. I'd rather have the extra night, to make tomorrow last as long as possible. :) I'm not gonna go crazy. Maybe. No, I won't. Jake might. He gets together with Nims and Salwa and off he goes.
The more I hear about the "Hastings was broken into" story, the more it makes me think that hobos or high schools walked in to take stuff. That, OR, the neighbors wandered over for christmas presents.
I was looking forward to just a low key New Years party, but it really seems like it's going to be OC. Which, I don't know how I feel about that. Oh well. If I get over loaded, I'll just go back to Hastings.
For those of you not in the know, in 2005 and early 2006, when I did nothing but party and drink every weekend, that was depression. It really does change you pretty much. I don't think that I was clinical or anything, like the medication kind, but I wasn't right. My normal state is solitary. It takes an amazing amount of effort for me to be around people all the time. It's quite draining. That's why for 99% you would never see me at parties, etc. by the time I turned 23. I mean, let's be honest, when I was 23, I'd been in school (undergrad) for 5 years. I felt old. I am old. :) I do enjoy the low key parties -- where you can just sit and talk and hang out and don't have to have the music BLASTING!, but I really blame Jake for blasting music. :)
So, anyway, I don't know if I'm going to be a life of the party or what. I doubt it. I am looking forward to seeing Colio, but my guess is that he will probably be in public mode and it will be not very much fun. He (and all the other trombone players) will be in trombone player mode. If you are on the outside looking in, you know what I'm talking about.
Okay, that's not really fair right now, but I'm thinking that I have PMS, because I've been really angry since yesterday afternoon. Irrationally angry and quick to get pissssst.
Maybe I'll yell at Nims this weekend. He wanted me to the last time I was there, but I was mellow. OH well.
Okay, I have to go change the laundry and I'm going to start on making all the goodies that I am planning on making and taking up to EC with me. :)

This is NOT very Christmas-y, but...
it is freakin' hilarious. If you haven't seen it and want better quality than this, you should prolly just go to You Tube and check it out.
Funniest thing to come out of SNL in a long time.
On the plus side, I recieved $100 in iTunes GC for BSG, so now I will own all seasons. Or I will burn all the ones that Ryan recieved (or will recieve) for Christmas when we are down there. Whenever that is. $50 from Parents and $50 from Aunt and Uncle -- pretty sweet. They even got Jake $50 too. $25 would have been okay.
Also recieved a cat litter thing that is supposed to trap the odor and whatnot -- sweet a. Got some Good Eats DVD's, but I already had the ones that my mom ordered, so I have to get them returned and get a new set. Oops. Got Pj's with kitties on them too. Slippers included. Chocolate and a french horn decorative lamp, which is cool. Not a real Fhorn, but that's a-ok.
Now, all I need is the t-shirt that says "E=Fb". Musician's Theory of Relativity.
djalsdjflasjdfl. Back to work tomorrow. Oh well. The vacation was nice while it lasted. Short week this week, very short week next week. And another short week after that. Totally amazing.
Anyway, that's all. Bye bye.

Happy Chritmassss!
So, Friday night began the weekend of Chritmas. Went to my Aunt and Uncle's house in Elm Grove (basically 5 mins away) and hung out. My cousins (who are 10 and almost 8) got some sweet lego stuff from my parents and Jake and I just gave them money. Hey, when you're 8, $20 is sweet. A little less at 10, I guess.
Found out that my 10 year old cousin is a little bit of a pill. I think that he's just too smart. Very sarcastic, but I was that way and so was my oldest cousin Bryan. The 8 year old is pretty sweet, even if he's a little on the wild side. Those two are going to be beating the crap out of each other very soon.
Was quite drunk upon returning to the apartment and probably stayed up too late with the husband. the end.
Saturday -- woke up too early, gathered the necessary crapola to take to GB and took off about 11am. Hung out with Jake's aunt and uncle on his dad's side (the youngest, coolest sister basically) and their three kids -- two of whom are teenagers. That was different also. Teenagers are just different. Was very tired and went to bed pretty early and slept like a log.
Sunday -- got up, still tired, feeling kind of sicky -- probably from deviled eggs, but they are so delicious! -- hung out and I was getting tired again. Ate a smaller dinner of ham (which I ate four bites and then had to give it up as a bad job), scallopped potatoes, which were altered with provolone cheese, making them taste....well, nothing really. Provolone is really mild. And finally green bean casserole. It was okay.
Opened presents before dinner, actually. Brookie got a Nintendo Wii for her gift and it is pretty much amazing. Very fun. I got a pink vest from Brooke (one that will NOT be stolen), pj's and a game from the in-laws, self-inflating mats from Josh and Kristine, some christmasy decor from Grandma Judy, and finally, a sewing machine! A new one! I'm pretty excited. It is definitely better than the old one and I will take MUCH better care of it. I just need a place to work. A good place to work. Hopefully when we have a house, we can find one with a space for me to set up a small sewing/crafting area with a nice sewing table and my chaise lounge chair that I bought for sitting and reading and cross stitching and stuff like that. I should attempt to re-make the upholstering with different, cooler, nicer fabric at some point. Slightly bigger screw-on legs would be nice too, so I could store boxes underneath. This project would take a LOT of planning.
So, I was excited about that, even if my lack of quiet/alone time recently makes me extremely tired. For those of you who really got to know me in the past year or so, I am not, by nature, a social person and it is completely draining for me to be "on" all the time, as I still feel most of the time when I am in GB. I get so tired being around people all the time. alksdjkfjasdlfj
Anyway, that is the front half of chritmas so far and there is more to come from my parents. I gave them a good list, so I am hoping that we do get some cool stuff. I know Jake is getting the new Zelda from my mom and I'm hoping that I get some good things. I don't even remember what I asked for, so it will probably be pretty sweet.
Anyway, I hope you all are having a wondering Chritmas, being chritmas eve and all. I hope that some of you will be back in the Eau C for New Year's so I get to see you (G.Nate, I am looking in your direction if you are around). If I don't see you, have a wondering Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Love

I just pulled a Jake....
I was on the phone with Colin and I started pacing around the apartment and cleaning up shit. Probably nervous energy associated with talking to someone that I hadn't talked to in a long time. Can't relax, have to keep moving.
I killed my lappy. It's really out of power. I'm on Jakie's compy until mine charges enough so that I can turn her on. Oh well. The people upstairs are interfering with our antenna.
Plans are in motion. It's a good thing.

Ode to Battlestar Galactica
Gosh, I LOVE this show. There are times when I'm like, it was good. And then there are times tonight. I compare it to when I was watching the season 2 finale of The X-Files (the first love of my life...yeah, I'm a huge nerd, what are you gonna dooooo?) and when it reached the end of the show, all I could do was yell out loud NOOOOO!!!
I was watching at my parents house on my iPod and you can hear the drums in the music getting louder and louder, and it gets more and more intense and then.....!!!!!! You have to wait for the season to restart in January. Poop.
But, it was amazing and I will probably watch the whole season again. Actually, I should probably watch the whole series again, just to find out what I missed.
I'm going to talk to Salwass on the phone right meow. Okay bye

Well!
So, I'm home again. For those of you not in the "know", I was in the Eau C this weekend.
Went up Friday about 10am, got there right before bandy band. Hung out at Hastings for a bit, went and ate with Yakob at Panera, got a sweet cord for my iPod, so you can hook it up to the red, yellow and white plugs and watch cool stuff on the TV. Hung out with Salwass and Nims (Nim) for the rest of the night. Drank and bottle of wine and just hung out and talked. It was pretty sweet.
Woke up early on Saturday....and by early, I don't mean when I couldn't sleep past 7:30 like last year. I mean, like, 9am. Sat around waiting for people to wake up, went and ate at Red Lobster with Nims and Salwass, which was AMAZING. Then, just sat around. Went over to the House for Adam's Party, which was different -- more a graduation party for family than actual party. I was sort of disappointed, but it was nice to see people.
The thing I discovered this weekend was who I am truly friends with and who I just happen to know and interact with occassionally. I'm not going to say acquaintance. I don't like that word. There were people who saw me and just went, hi. and there there were the people that went HEY!!! I don't expect people to be like super excited all the time to see me, but there were many people that I haven't seen in a very long time that I guess I thought we were a little better friends than that. Oh well. Makes me truly appreciate the ones that appreciate me. I don't live an hour away any more. When I come up there, it's a long haul.
I woke up at 8am this morning, grabbed all my stuff, left a note for the Hastings boys and took off. It was pretty nice. Being tired like that makes the drive go faster because I can drive on auto pilot. Reminds me of High school, when I was so tired driving to school that I hardly remembered the drive most mornings.
Brooke is still here today. Josh and Kristine decided at the last minute not to come, which is irritating because we were invited to Brunch with my godparents and extended-extended family and I didn't worry about trying to make it, because I thought 3 family members were here. Oh well. My aunt called on my way home this morning and wants to get together on Friday for Chritmas. Sounds good to me.
Well, off to watch the Packers and hang out. Whenever Brooke and Jake get back from Beihoff.

Wellllllll
I guess a post is in order. I hate to go longer than a week without saying something new and exciting.
Unfortunately, I don't really have anything on that order. aklslkjsdklf
Josh, Kristine and Brooke are coming down this weekend. Brooke can finally go through all my old clothes and then I can give the rest away. Which is good.
Only a little bit of chritmas shopping left to do, probably some of which I will try to do this weekend. I should have some time to do that sort of thing.
I came very close to crying at work yesterday, basically because I feel totally ignored in an office of 10 people. Oh, that and while everyone else is busy busy, I am totally bored most of the day. So, this just isn't working out for me. I'm really hoping that I can locate something else. There is a position open at the Wilson Center, so I might apply for that. I should any way. Le sigh.
That's all. I'm going to go shower and then sit around some more. I have the day off. It was my last day of vacation. woot.
