12:48 pm - quiz time You Are Most Like Miranda! While you've had your fair share of romance, men don't come first Guys are a distant third to your friends and career. And this independence *is* attractive to some men, in measured doses. Remember that if you imagine the best outcome, it might just happen. Romantic prediction: Someone from your past is waiting to reconnect... But you'll have to think of him differently, if you want things to work. Which Sex and the City Vixen Are You?

12:06 pm - "when everything is wrong we move along" well I think everything is finally put together here at the apartment... only took 2.5 weeks!!! tom and I put stuff up on the walls this past weekend and put more stuff in the garage. everything is where it needs to be. it's nice. :) things at work are coming along... tonight is my last night of training and then come monday morning I'm offically on my own. should be good... it might get old working 40 hours in three days but I think I'll be able to do it. had an interview for another job this morning though... I want to be on the road!! not sure how it went - I'm actually thinking it was pretty bad - but there's a physical test on the 10th. not sure if I'm ready or not. :( our friends megan and jake had a baby boy last night - congratulations to them! maria and pete are due in august with their first... everyone makes jokes to Tom since he'll be the last to get married, have kids, etc.. kind of funny I guess. my little brother graduated from high school this past weekend - holy crap do I feel old!! he gave the welcoming speech at the ceremony.. he was so cute! I didn't realize how popular he was - everyone loves him! oh, I got the best present for him, too. two tickets to the cubs/diamondbacks game in august. (thanks again mike!) he was so excited!!! hmmm well I suppose I should go. I have some stuff to do before going to bed. tgif (tonight)!!!

06:24 am - blah I'm tired. I think next time I move/take a new job I'll wait a while and take a few more days off before I try to do everything all at once. It's pretty exhausting, really. Current Location: home Current Mood: tired Current Music: all american rejects 'move along' in my head

11:23 am - holy unpacking!! good golly did yesterday take forever to get through! after working my last night at MCACF and turning in my uniforms and saying my goodbyes I got my hair cut, spent time with Jamie for a few hours, went to Crystal Lake and back, cleaned the old apartment and then Tom and I loaded all the rest of my stuff into his truck. we didn't get out of woodstock until after 7pm and had to stop in the rain a few times to fix and re-adjust things that were moving/falling around. It sucked. went to mom's at like 11pm to drop the little Odie man off... I really hope he likes his new home. Lord knows mom is not happy about taking him for me but I couldn't get rid of him - he's such a good puppy!!! today is going to be spent trying to get the apartment in order... this place was pretty full with just Tom's stuff in here - adding my stuff on top of it is pure craziness, I tell ya!! but we've got to get it done today as I do NOT want to spend every night of my first week at my new job unpacking. and we have a wedding next weekend and Mason's graduation the weekend after that... I'm so glad to be home... Current Location: my new office slash guest bedroom. :) Current Mood: angry Current Music: *singing*"save my life I'm going down for the last time...."

09:25 am - blah blah blah I'm bored so I figured I'd update... not that much is going on. I've been able to eat chocolate, candy, cake, etc.. since Easter and my goodness have I made up for lost time! I feel so crappy that I've ate so much chocolate this past week. I swear, I haven't had any real food!! Stupid girl scout cookies... lol. How is it that during Lent I could be disciplined enough to not open/eat the cookies but now I can't stop? I can't wait to get them out of the house so I don't have to worry about it anymore. :) Odie and I have been walking every morning... we go to the park down the road from my house and take two very long laps on the the trail there. It takes about 45 minutes to do two so I suppose we're doing good in that department. Odie turns 1 in two days... yay! :) Not like he'll really know but I'm going to get him a 'birthday bone.' I think he'll like it. hehe Cannot believe how much gas is going up around here... Someone at work today said that it might get up to $6/gallon this summer!!! That is totally crazy, if you ask me. $3 is high enough I'd say. I really hope I can go home soon so I won't have to worry about how I'm going to travel south on the weekends. Lord knows I'm not going to make it on my next 3 day weekend... and it's Ang's birthday, too. :( Had a long week at work this past week... it was the first time in like, two or three weeks that I worked all five days straight. I didn't know what to do with myself! haha And this week I work 6 days in a row - yay for overtime! I like to work as much as I can so I can save up money and comp time - although we've been so short lately that we can't ever get any days off. It'll be nice to go home... Mason graduates high school next month - I CANNOT believe it!!! I feel so old! He's going to Western in the fall though... I am very excited about that (have I mentioned that before?). He'll live in north quad and he's going to study sports broadcasting. He's pretty good with all that sport stuff- maybe one day we'll see him on ESPN!! haha I'm trying to get him a REALLY good graduation present... I hope it works out! Well... I should probably get going. Odie is in the car and ready to get home and I've got to get to the store to get stuff for the party I'm having tonight. Should be a nice little get together, if it doesn't rain. Hope it's dry tonight! Current Location: library Current Mood: blah Current Music: kelly clarkson 'walk away' in my head

10:21 am - I always said there was money in penny slots... and $1000 later I am still correct!!! :D yep, that's right... I won $1000 on the PENNY SLOTS in las vegas. holy crap! on the last day there, while waiting for tom to stop losing his money, I decided to fart around with a certain penny slot machine at our hotel/casino. I won about $50 early in the morning... but then after lunch went back to the same machine to kill some more time. I was just doing my thing when this bonus game thing popped up on my screen. I did what it said and the next thing I know I hit the $1000 jackpot. it was acutally about $1080 but who's counting? I couldn't believe it... I didn't know what to do, say, think... I was in shock. I've been a good girl though... only spent $300 of it so far and it's been almost a month since I won. damn responsibility. ;) the weekend out there was really nice... we all had a good time. we went out every night (of course!)... went downtown to freemont street friday night - that was cool, seeing the light show and stuff. by the time we went to bed saturday morning I had been up for about 31 hours straight (and was surprisingly doing ok). the wedding saturday was nice. cold, but nice. the dinner was fun... and then afterwards we all went to the flamingo to watch the bride play craps. we eventually headed to another casino... where I saw three guys from my high school!!! I was standing around talking to the girls, looked up, and there they were. I went after them to say hi real quick (one of them also went to WIU while I was there). I could NOT believe it! the one I talked to lives in Florida, too. imagine that... two people from a small central IL town, who live in two very different places now, meeting up in vegas!? cool beans. moving on - sunday we walked around and went to the wynn... neat place. rode the rollar coaster ontop of new york new york and later ate dinner at what was supposed to be an awesome steak house there in the hotel. I wasn't all that impressed. but it was nice to see everyone again. monday was the big winning day... and tom, nick, laura, and I went to the hoover dam. it was a nice drive and absolutely beautiful out there! we took the history tour and walked around on top of the dam. good time. not too shabby for our second trip to vegas... maybe next year's trip will be even better!!! not much has been going on since I got home... just work, work, work. well, I did go home last weekend - helped tom's mom move into her new house and visted with all them for a while... went to mom's, where we had a huge storm with tornadoes (yay! :( ) got to visit with angela, ami, the family, tom... nice trip. I want to go home on Easter since I'm off but I might have court the next day. *sigh* and I won't know until the day of. flippin court system :P doggie sitting for a co-worker today through tuesday... the dog's name is presley.. he's so cute! he and odie get along well, so that's good. wednesday morning I'm coming home after our qualification shoot... I have an appointment at a certain place that afternoon. :) lets keep our fingers crossed. lots to do today... adios! Current Location: library Current Mood: alright Current Music: library noises

09:44 am - hope you're wearing green!!! happy st. patrick's day people... whoo hoo! :) figured I should update real quick just to kill some time... let's see, what has been going on... last weekend mom came up and stayed at my place. we went shopping saturday and then downtown to see michael buble perform. awesome show!!! tom got me the tickets for valentine's day but couldn't go so I took mom. she had a good time. it was nice to have a weekend with her. she cried when she left though, it was so cute. not much else going on.... just getting laundry done because I'm going to vegas today... holy excitement!!! I CANNOT wait! tom and I are leaving for o'hare this afternoon - we'll be gone until tuesday. we have friends getting married out there on saturday - it should be a good time. all the same people from the wedding in MA will be there... it'll be nice to see them all again. probably won't get much sleep but that's alright. sleep is for wimps!!! (haha I say that now....) still trying to figure out how to move home... it'll take forever if I try to get a job in LE. might have to find something else to do for a while. it sucks though because I know that if I stayed here I could become a sergeant soon and get a huge pay raise. but I suppose I need to figure out if that's really what's most important. I guess I'm just too scared to going back and having nothing. I've gotten used to being able to pay my bills, spending whatever money I want and not having to really worry about anything. *sigh* maybe I'm too independent or something. hopefully I'll figure it out soon. well... probably time to get back to the laundry mat. I hate having to laundry there. but I suppose I should be thankful that I'm able to. :) Current Mood: excited - vive las vegas!!! Current Music: mary j. blige 'can't be without you' in my head

06:23 pm - so yeah.... Haven't updated for like ever... but I suppose that I haven't really felt the need/want to. But here I am anyway. I was so extatic about Tom's Christmas present: two tickets to the last home Bears game of 2005. The seats were 7 rows from the field in the south endzone. Oh yeah... good stuff. Tom took his brother and I drove them to the stadium. Not too shabby... great tickets and a chauffer. I'm cool, oh yes. :) What I went through that night really sucked though... I was supposed to meet a friend from back home and join her at her work Christmas party in Wrigleyville. But when I called her when I got into town like she told me to she didn't answer (any of the times I called). So here I was, all dressed up with no place to go. I wore a nice dress and was looking good... but I ended up having to call another friend from home who used to live in the city to ask where I could/should go. It ended up being ok, even though I was freezing the whole time. I got all the rest of my Christmas shopping done. So I suppose that blessings do come in disguse. The rest of my holiday season was ok... Got to go home Christmas morning and be with Tom and the family for a few days. Tom was up here for New Years but nothing exciting happened as I was asleep by 8pm. ;) Nothing else really going on since then... Oh, well I hurt my back yet again and missed a whole week of work. It sucked. I was on my back all day and could only get up to go to the bathroom. Yuck. Feeling better now although I've noticed that my spine is crooked. Yay. Gotta figure out what's wrong soon. Odie got fixed yesterday... Poor little guy - he's sore and has a cone around his neck so he won't lick 'down there.' I feel bad for him. But hopefully he'll calm down after all this and stop humping my friends' kids. :) haha This Sunday is Tom's and my TWO YEAR anniversary... I can't believe it!!! Time has flown by and we've been through a lot. But we're still going strong... Yay!!!! Tonight is a friend from work's birthday celebration... meeting up with him and his friend(s) later in Schamburg. Should be a good time. Come this time tomorrow though I'll be on my way home... On vacation til February 3rd!!! Whoo hoo!! It'll be nice to do absolutely nothing for a whole week. :) Current Mood: alright Current Music: library stuff

02:45 pm - I shouldn't be awake.... but I forgot that I wanted to look for Tom's Christmas present again today. *sigh* I'm such a good girlfriend. :D hahahaha I hope I get what I'm looking for!!! Had a nice visit with Angela this past weekend.... She got into town around 9pm Friday and when I got home from work Saturday morning we got ready to hit Woodfield and IKEA. Had dinner at the yummy Olive Garden and then headed home. I must say, I was a bit disappointed with the OG - everything tasted kinda funny. But I suppose that's what you get when you haven't been there in over a year. *shrug* Who knows. Anywho, we stopped at Coldstone Creamery before getting back into town. Very interesting ice cream shop. But I wasn't that impressed with the ice cream I got... have to try something else next time. I was SO tired when I got home though - I was passed out cold by 630pm!!! I used to be able to stay up for 24+ hours at a time but now that Odie's here, fuhgetaboutit!!! Just like having a kid, I tell ya!! ;) On Sunday after Angela left I went to see the movie "White Christmas" with the neighbors. It was a VERY good movie (I had never seen it before). After that we all went grocery shopping and then came back to town. I took Odie over there and we all visited for a while... He was so pooped out by the time we got home. It was so cute!!! Worked 12 hours today... working another 12 tomorrow. And then probably another 12 sometime else this week. Got into a tiff with a 'pal' from work (I use that term loosely). It's amazing how you think you're friends with someone but then because you won't sleep with them they don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. Pathetic. This really cool band (who I REALLY want to see) is coming to Rockford this weekend... Mike & Joe, here I come!!! I am going, gosh darnit, whether or not someone goes with me. Not missing this chance to see them again!!! Gosh darnit, I just lost the auction for the present I want to get Tom.... UGH!!! I hope I get another chance to find what I'm looking for. I suppose I should get going though... gotta save up minutes to come back later. Current Mood: ticked off :P Current Music: library noises
