Hand me a Kleenex

I'm sick.
...Or so I think... my nose is stuffy and i don't feel good. but I should post a happy birthday shout out to my Mom. Happy Birthday!!!

Otherwise work has become super busy with quarterly reporting deadlines fastly approaching. Hence me not posting. Congrats to Jed on his job. I really don't have much to say... everwood is new again next week. I am not sure about gilmore girls (either next week or the week after i think).

Yesterday was super windy/rainy and seeing as i walk past the sears tower my umbrella broke. But wait, you say, isn't that the umbrella that has a life time guarantee? yes, yes it is. so yesterday evening i took my umbrella with a broken wing to Nordstroms and place it on the counter and they happily replaced it. wow. thats why you go and buy it from nordstroms. while i was there i bough a pair of ugly shoes... they are called crocs ... i will weigh in on them once i have worn them for a bit. I have high expectations for these shoes so i hope they don't disappoint.

ok well it is almost dinner time and bill is on the phone with Scott. I think i will go get the plates and forks and stuff ... not much on since american dreams already had it's season finale.

i will try to post the birthday shout out tomorrow, but if i get too busy at work or too sick, happy early birthday Carolyn!!!

Friday- Bobby's 18

It is Friday night and I sit here at the computer... you know what that means don't you... yes Kung Fu Hustle which I have been wanting to go see with Bill was not released this weekend, rather it was but only in cities I don't care about.

Anyway today was opening day here for the Cubs... like people care or something... though on the radio I heard that there is a garage near the field that is now providing valet bike service... I wonder how much you tip for that?!?

Due to popular demand I have now allowed for anyone to post comments... thats right because RJ is too darn lazy to type his name and password...

So I don't know what to do this weekend. I finally got to go to coldstone last weekend (I had been craving that forever, but after i can't even think about having it any time soon. I should go and get Bobby his birthday present --oh --yeah Happy Birthday Bobby!! You are 18 go watch porn what voting and smoking... turning 18 sorta sucks... you are an adult but you are still living at home and you are still dependent on your parents and all.

I have been wanting to read some new books... and I have been to lazy to go to the store and buy some, and I have read all the books lent to me by various people so I attempted to read a book I was supposed to read in physics class in college The elegant Universe I thought it was supposed to be a good book but I got one chapter in and remembered why I didn't read it the first time... just too smart for me. So in consolation I bought a brides magazine :)

Bill is feeling left out of my blog because I wasn't complaining about him... Well, dear, hello and yes your swearing at the tv is loud, but I have learned to tune it out.

My boos made me leave work tonight... Literally said "you are leaving with me to go to the train --the work will still be here on Monday" So on the walk home he was telling me that he had already miss part of his religious holy days, and that this weekend he would be partaking in them ... and yes he is talking about the Masters... apparently golf is pretty important to a lot of people at work, as with the Cubs ehh... I don't really care.

Ok well I still need to print some stuff out on the computer and then go play Lei and try and beat Bill. so good night and if I don't get back here--have a nice weekend.

Rainy

so, Chicago has had some really nice weather lately but today is just plain nasty. I am sitting in my office right now and the sky is grey and if you went outside the gusts of wind would blow you away.

But enough about the weather. I haven't posted anything in a while, I guess I didn't realize the commitment I was making when I started this. I mean, it's not like I don't have major commitments already: Everwood, Gilmore Girls, and NBC on Thursdays, not to mention movies and playing videos games with my biggest commitment Bill. Hi Bill! So as you can see my life is incredibly busy, which means posting during work hours. But that is difficult too, because I have commitments to other boards, checking my email, reading the news, and, well, work.

Ok so now that I have given my excuses I will start my post...

So the Pope died, may he rest in peace, and now they are turning away mourners. I think that's pretty silly though, I mean these are the true believers and you are just going to turn them away?!? Hasn't the Church lost enough followers lately? But, I am more interested in the process of getting a new pope. 100% of what I know about that process is from Dan Brown's book Angels and Demons, and since Brown is sorta high and the Church's "we don't like you very much list" I wonder if I have been misinformed. (I mean I am using a fiction book to base all of my knowledge on.)

In other news the price of pulling a taxi cab has increased in Chicago. It used to be like $1.90 and now it will be like $2.15. Why can't the just get nice even numbers?

If you can't tell I am trying out all the fonts available to me. I think I like Times the best, and will probably post in the future in times.

Well, it is almost Friday again and there are now 43 days until my trip to Ireland and 121 until W day. It is also the 5th business day of the month and that means next week will be a busy one at work. My live has been boring though I was please when my book I ordered on Amazon (which was shipped from Momence, IL) only took 3 days instead of 10 to get to me. You must realize that Momence is only 2 hours away from the city and I could have driven to the frickin warehouse myself much quicker that the postal service did. I think they should give you that option. They tell you what warehouse your stuff is coming from and you have the option of driving there and getting it and paying no shipping. Just my $.02. I did see Sin City, and enjoyed it. The cinematography was really cool, besides it had some of my favorites from WB shows. I watched Troy on Wednesday and it was pretty good. I was never a fan of the Illiad, but I can handle a buch of topless men :)

ok well I have been at work for an hour now and done nothing but eat my breakfast and play online. I think it is time fore my to sign off and get to work.

April fools...

I hate this day! It only shows everyone that I am honest and believe others to be honest as well. Stupid gmail even got me, I was all excited by infinite space... and i really liked their graph. But at least I get paid today, and tomorrow is a Saturday, better than having fools day on a Monday.

According to my hand-written countdown on my calendar (yes before blogging I would do anything to not work) there are 127 days till my wedding and 49 days till I leave for Ireland. But, to me the most important countdown isn't included on my calendar. I decided I would force myself to actually compute 2+(days left til wedding)=days left til honeymoon. Yea, I am going to Ireland, and yes that is exciting and all, but a trip to Disney World with my hubby will be so much fun!

Well today I have two birthday shout outs, not that either of these people will read my blog, mostly because they are both turning 8, but also because I haven't really told anyone about my blog. Anyway, Happy Birthday David and Chris.

I think I will try to see sin city this weekend, we'll see if it will happen or not.

Ok time to actually work for my money (there's only an hour before lunchtime).

and I begin

well, since I found out that even RJ has a blog, I decided I needed one. I figure it is just my next step in doing less work and wasting more time during those hours of 9 to 5 monday through friday.

I think that's all I'll say now... Do you like my title?
