so....das..... red......????
i'm having a not-so-good day at work. just a few troubles that i'm gonna have to get over.
yes, j, i did notice that i had put labor day on that one entry and told myself to change it. guess i never got around to it and you saw it first. i'm way lame. oh, also, by the way, j, andy is sporting the abe lincoln look. i hope you get to see it at some point.
did everyone have a way super fun ass memorial day weekend? mine was hot. we were in arizona, and actually, it wasn't that hot out there. hot enough for me to complain, but it's hardly ever not that hot out there. we went tubing down the salt river on sunday. me and andy completely lathered up with sunblock to not burn on our faces and arms, but we didn't cover our legs. i've never burned on my legs before and i usually like my legs a little bit more tan. but guess what, both me and andy got sunburn on our shins. it stings right now. anyway, the river was alright. it was fairly relaxing for the first part, but then after being out there for 3 hours, it got old really fast. it was just a bunch of drunk people, smoking pot, getting rowdy and trying to get everyone else to get naked.
we did get to buy some movies from blockbuster with andy's sister's discount. i finally got Troy. poor orlando bloom... he's reallly pitiful in that movie, but we can't love him any less, now can we???

did it please you that i brought you to get ice cream?
wow, i got up at ass crack o' dawn this morning. and i'm feeling suprisingly awake. it must have to do with the fact that i know i'm leaving work today at 1pm, so my brain is cooperating me with until i get to leave work.
so, one of our interns the other day told us this hilarious story. pay attention, chakee, because if i hear this story come out of your mouth, it will lose it's hilariousness. this particular intern is from wyoming. exciting place, huh? anyway, during her first week here in the big city, her and 2 of her suite-mates were waiting at a bus stop. these guys in a car stop at the bus stop and ask them if they want to go to a party. "sure" the naive girls say. they get into the car. your heard me correct, they get into the car. anyway, she goes on to say that she was the only white girl at the party full of asian persuasion and how now they try to avoid those guys that took them to the party when they see them around campus. oh yeah, and the guys that took them to that party.... their names were VAVOOM and TREE. please girls, let's not get into cars with strange boys while you are waiting at a bus stop.
okay, i need to get to work. i've been here for 50 minutes and i've wasted my time.

hello mr. hungry, can i call you "so"?
inside joke. anyway, i'm having a slow day at work. just not a lot to do, but crappy stuff and i have a headache. i'm not really up for it.
i have been far beyond tired lately. i don't know what the deal is. i'm pretty sure i'm not getting enough sleep, but that's not different than usual. i never get enough sleep. even when i try to sleep early, i just can't. if it's around 10pm, i look at my clock and think "it's way too early to get in bed" so i don't. it's a little silly, really. gosh, always, the signs of aging creep up on ya.
i can't believe this weekend is already labor day weekend. before we know it, it will be the end of summer. and then it will be christmas. oy vay.
i don't really have a lot to say. i did last week, but didn't have time to sit down and blog. life is funny like that, huh?
oh yeah, and i think i might be lactose intollerant. what a bunch of bull.

piss poor planning
oh, thank god monday is over. i had a long ass day. granted, i could have left work an hour and a half ago, but right at the end, i got this spurt of energy and decided to keep working so i can get off early some other day this week. i'm one smart cookie.
i was so tired this morning. i even slept through my alarm going off. i usually shoot out of bed once it goes off, but it had been going off for almost 40 minutes before i woke up from it. scary dude. and on testing days, there is no "oops, i accidentally slept in."
i had a dream last night with chris o'brien in it. very strange. him and these 2 other girls that i went to high school with (i don't remember who they were, but i knew it was girls that i didn't talk to in high school) were in my princeton review class. and all of a sudden, my princeton review class is like 30 people, when in reality it's only 5 people. anyway, nothing really happened in my dream, i just remember him being there. "oh, chris" LOL, right, crissy?
i'm gonna leave work now. me and andy have an evening of dog food buying, target shopping, and tuna melt dinnering to do.

changing the world, one pair of eyes at a time
happy friday 13th to you. a good day lies ahead, i think.
long, long ago i used to be the only person in my family that didn't wear glasses. by long ago, i mean, i started wearing glasses when i was in 4th grade, so yes, it was long ago. anyway, this last eye exam i had, my optometrist gave me a new brand of contacts to try out. anyway, he says that some people have problems with them, and at first i didn't, so i kept them. then, my eyes started getting really red. like i was on drugs kinda red. anyway, i had to keep going back and at one of my appointments, it occurred to me that andy had been having numerous headaches. almost everyday. so i thought he might be getting headaches from staring at his computer monitor all day. long story short, i was wrong, andy went to the optometrist and he actually is far-sighted. he is now a card-carrying member of the glasses-wearing family. so, my co-worker has been getting headaches, too. so i told her about andy. and last monday she found out she is far-sighted, too, so she just picked up her glasses today. 2 people in one week that i have aided in better vision.... i think if i get 5 more people to wear glasses, i get a toaster-oven.
i only have 3 more classes of my princeton review. i can't believe how fast that class moved. i think last time i studied for 6 months. and this time, i'm studying for 8 weeks. nutty. my teacher is still awesome, and it's cool to be in a class of 5. i really should register to take my test.....
isn't it funny how 98% of your life can be going SO well, but then there's this one small part that just makes it poopy? all else is just a smidge short of fantastic, but this one little aspect.... it's strange.
hey, it just occurred to me....one more month and i'll be 27. wow. what will 27 bring me?? i wonder.

i love peach jolly ranchers
of course, as i'm knee deep in GRE studying, all i want to eat is candy and sweets. i really don't have an appetite for anything else. anyway, i bought some candy last night and for the longest time i thought peach jolly ranchers have been out of commission. i bought a "passion fruit" variety bag of jolly ranchers and guess what? it's got peach flavor in it. i'm so excited, it's a little sad. anyway, when i was younger, i'm talking living on the base age, i LOVED peach jolly ranchers. i had one today for the first time in a long time and strange memories came flooding back. strange how one piece of candy can do that to you.
if you haven't seen julena in a while, might i suggest going to see her? she's doing awesome things now and she even knows "hug." that little peanut comes right up to you with her arms stretched out ready to hug you. it's impressive. she knows what she wants and what she doesn't want and has the ability to tell you. development in children is so amazing. i can't wait until i get to start studying it for real -by this, i mean, in grad school, not by having a child of my own.
i just finished taking my GRE practice 2 exam. I DID SO MUCH BETTER THAN ON THE FIRST PRACTICE EXAM. granted, on the first one, i hadn't done diddly squat to prepare for it and did much worse on that first practice than i did when i took the actual test last year, but on this 2nd practice exam i did better on the math section than when i took the actual test. does that make sense? i might need to draw a venn diagram. anyway, it looks like this class is helping, so i can't ask for much more than that. oh, and did i mention that i am almost positively going to take the test on my 27th birthday? talk about brutal. but hey, you suck it up and move on. i need to do a ton more work on learning more vocab. ugh, i'm really slacking on that. for shame.
oh, i had a migraine on monday (my day off from working on saturday, of all days to get a migraine) and i ended up throwing up all night. i popped a blood vessel in my left eye and it is so sexy. my optometrist said when that happens it looks like your eye is hemorrhaging. yummy.
