Married

It was fun, but holy shit am I glad THAT'S over.

Preperations

2005-10-23T18:14:00.000-07:00

Alot has been happening. The house is all put together now, and starting to look more like a home than just an oversized apartment. (it's about time!) I've applied to go to school in the evenings to get my degree in Paralegal/Legal Assisting. Hopefully I can get some money! Chris' job is coming together too. They have him heading up the PvP stuff for the next expantion. Even Cassy is happy, she has a back yard to sniff around in and strew toys about.

The Wedding got moved to aboard the ship we are going on the Honeymoon on. Thank goodness Carnival was nice enough to switch ports for us! I can't wait to get aboard the ship and be lazy for a week in the various Mexico stops. I'd just like to take a moment right here to say "I'm sorry and Thank You" to everyone who was going to make it to the wedding, or be in the wedding that can't be here with us. *sighs* A day dosn't go by that when I see something to do with Katrina and I don't want to puke or cry. That bitch took alot from me. Speaking of Bitches that took alot from me...Bonnie Broel is on that list too.

I was to get married in New Orleans at the House of Broel. It would have been beautiful. Alas, the hurricane rampaged through NOLA and flooded most of the city. Weeks went by as my Parents-in-law tried to contact Bonnie, hoping by some act of the gods, the place was spared. # weeks before the wedding, they finally got a call from her. She made every excuse in the book trying to convince them we were still able to have the wedding and reception there. Now, as everyone knows, you can't even FLY into NOLA. Let alone have drinkable water, safe accomadations and the like. *boggle* This woman is still fighting us to this day, refusing to refund all or even part of all the money that was spent to have my fairytale wedding.

I wonder where I stuffed that Voodoo doll Alex sent me....

I'm trying to put all that shit behind me and be happy for us. It's hard, and I think I'm doing an OK job of it. This time next week, I'll have my toes in the sand in some little cabana, sipping a MaiTai and buying little Mexican death masks. Ahh...yess...life isn't so bad after all.

The new place!

Hurricanes and Puppies

2005-07-08T13:15:00.000-07:00

It hasn't rained here in 5 weeks. Now mind you, Chris' flight to San Diego should have been pulled off without a hitch. Nooo, did it work that way?! He was delayed 2 hours from the NASTY thunderstorms and an overweight plane. He missed his connecting flight in Vegas. Hope prevails though, he did make it to Cali by 11:30 pm pac time. Hell of a time for a backlash of a Hurricane to decide to move through. *sighs* Cassy and I are waiting for you to come home, Dear. Hurry Back!

Bleach..

2005-06-01T08:31:00.000-07:00

Someone shoot me? I hate this crap. Every month it's the same. I bleed and bleed and bleed...I have to wonder how the human body survives such blood loss. Yeah, I know. I hear you guys in the back ground hollering "GROSS!". Fuck you. =) I think I'm going to see if my Ob-Gyn will let me get Uterine Oblation. I've dealt with this crap being heavy, painful and life altering since I was about 19 years old. So what if it will kill any chance of me having kids? I really never wanted them anyways. Now where's that bolttle of Tylenol and bar of chocolate?

I made it out to the Dog Park this weekend. (for those of you who don't know, Houston has the top Dog Park in the states, Mille Bush's Bark Park. It's quite nice!) Cassy did her human visiting, par normal. She really dosn't play with other dogs much. It was awfully hot, so we did not stay long....an hour tops. Lo and behold, I was sunburnt. I WAS ONLY OUTSIDE FOR AN HOUR! I love my nice fair, white skin...but c'mon! Sheesh.

Chris and I survived the storms this weekend, also. We got somewhere in the ballpark of 4 inches of rain in about as many hours. The news said that upward of 130,000 people lost electric. I know we had none from 10:30 pm til about 4 am. I think Chris was going to have a nervous breakdown. No TV or computer...poor thing. heh. He sat in the living room with candles lit furiously poking the buttons on his PSP. Thank god for battery powered gaming consoles?

Hah! Filter this!

2005-05-26T08:34:00.000-07:00

I can blog from work! Well then, mabey I'll post more. Life has been interesting. I've found a second home again with Everquest 2. Yeah, yeah...games...stuff it. They keep me occupied and out of trouble. So there!

Wedding plans are progressing well, mostly just sifting through details and the like. Just got home from a visit back to PA to see the folks. It went very well, I think. I even got to see Alex, my best friend. She dragged me out to see House of Wax. GUH! Let me tell you right now, this flick isn't even worth a pirated download. It was BAD. The best part of the whole thing was getting to see Paris Hilton die horribly. I might acually make it home again later this summer depending on money. Mom had talked about flying me back sometime after August.

Speaking of August, I'm being downsized. Figures....I find a decent office job and now they shut us down. Why, you ask? Outsourcing. Bastards. We are getting an ok severance package though, so all isn't lost just quite yet.

geeze

Ok...haven't updated in a long time. Work and life have been keeping me quite busy. I guess the biggest update is I'm getting married. :) Yeah, he finally asked. No date set yet, but we hope to remedy that soon.

As fortold, the pictures for the new apt. and now, the new bed are up. Enjoy!

Pics!

Done!

2004-08-07T18:29:00.000-07:00

We are done moving, yay! Someone remind me to -pay- movers next time, cause hefting boxes around in the Texas heat sucks. REALLY sucks. It was very worth it though, the place is beautiful. Pictures coming soon!

Ch-ch-changes!

My new job has kept me hella busy. I work around 40-45 hrs. a week and try to spend what little time i have when i get home relaxing and making time for Chris. I was so excited to get my first paycheck this friday! Well...seems whomever input my address at Corporate forgot to add the important little apt. number to the end of it. So now, my first paycheck is prolly on it's way back to it's starting point. Needless to say, there was much bitching and ranting about this over the weekend. Hopefully I can get this fixed monday and get my little one week check soon.

On a happier note, we start moving later this week! I can't wait to get everything in and settled. :)

It's got a little Twang...

2004-07-04T18:37:00.000-07:00

Spent the afternoon with Todd and Ann-Marie today. It was nice to finally get to see Annabel before she learned to drive! Such a little cutie, she get's that from her Mom I think. I'm sure the next little girl on the way is going to be just as charming and sweet as her big sister..both of them. Todd's mom fed us lunch, and his brother fed us drinks..tasty ones at that. "They've got a little twang to em." he says...yeeeaah, twang.
After 2 of them, I was a little dizzy. Good stuff! Even Mr. Brak-the-Cat was in attendance.
Hopefully it will not be another year until I see them again, I miss them both. :)

A real job. Yes yes, I know...just a few posts back I got a job. It was a crappy job waiting tables, but hey, it was a job. Wouldn't you know it, I no sooner took that one and got called to come interview for a better one! I've spent a week fretting, crying, being happy one minute and sad the next...but they finally called back. I GOT THE JOB! 11 an Hr. Vs hoping for good tips.

Me, a cubicle job...and I'm happy about it. Who'da thunk it?

Cold and Frosty

Went out last night,on a whim, to The Gingerman Pub . I don't think I've ever seen that many beers and ciders on tap, ever. The picture of it really doesn't do it justice. It's a cozy little Pub with old beer bottles and signs everywhere. Got pretty crowded for awhile, as it sits near alot of what Jason termed "Meat Markets". I reccomend the Ace Pear cider, myself. After it thinned out some, it was much more comfortable. Jason also pointed out a few nifty little shops and wonderful smelling eateries including a Spanish tapas place and a old time Pizza shop. Looking forward to going back again sometime, once I figure out what kind of hours I'll be working. Man, it feels good to say that again!

Yes!

2004-06-18T09:08:00.000-07:00

It's about damn time, A JOB! I've only been looking for 4 months. I start Monday! =D

Blah, Blah, Blah..

2004-06-14T17:40:00.000-07:00

Nothing much going on as of late. Still trying to get used to the nasty thunderstorms here. they are something to behold! We got a new DVD burner though, and Chris has been archiving stuff and making DVD's for his boss, my best friend, his buddy Jason...well, just about everyone. Still hoping to be able to go visit home for a week next month while I can. Blah..Blah...

Oh! Skinny Puppy is playing in Houston in 12 days! =D

Hahaha....Pickles!

2004-06-08T10:33:00.000-07:00

Chris and I have been watching alot of "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" and " Sealab 2021" on Adult Swim . Seriously funny shit..well, if you have a warped sense of humor. :) On a more serious note, we decided not to move. Can't seem to find something as nice as we have now in an area we like. Oh well! Might be making a visit home sometime next month, we'll see how the money works out.

I did it...

2004-06-04T13:20:00.000-07:00

went out last night and I didn't run. ;)Acually had alot of fun! Got to see Brian, haven't seen him for years. The place I went is Numbers, a little hole in the wall bar in Downtown. The place was full of stickers, crazy lights and beat-up barstools. Reminded me alot of the Upstage...so i felt right at home. Well, except for they acually played good music that you could dance to. Got to meet Brian's girlfriend too, she's a very nice girl. I can see myself going back. who knew I'd find I nifty little goth night in the middle of Houston?

Happy Long Weekend

2004-05-30T11:04:00.000-07:00

Went to see "The Day After Tomorrow" friday night...one word,-matinee-. The effects are awesome for the disasters, but the story it's self was lacking. Oh well, here's hoping Spiderman 2 dosn't suck! Chris and I are thinking of moving. A nice little 2BR townhome or something. I have an idea that moving furniture and the like in the Tx heat isn't going to be fun.

Sitting here listening to my friends MPEG radio station reminds me that it's been forever and a day since I've been out dancing. I used to dance all the time. I kinda miss it. Guess it's one of those things about slipping towards middle age. ( Check out what I'm listening to at my links section!) Sometimes it floors me how much I've changed in the last 5 years. Never used to be afraid of anything or anybody. Now it's hard to approach a stranger to ask where the chocolate sauce is in the market.

I'm going out for the first time to a club in a week or two, since I've moved to Houston. Let's hope I don't bolt and run 50 feet from the door!

Blog V2.0

2004-05-26T13:10:00.000-07:00

well now..this looks much better than the Moveable Type thing I was floundering with. Much easier to upload and post pics, edit things , etc. Hopefully the few folk who are acually reading my blog will forward themselves here! More to come soon. Stay Tuned!~
