To Kristi:
While yes, you are one of my best friends and you are pregnant with my very first niece or nephew(OK not really..but i don't care..I'm aunty Rachel)...you are still my boss. And I felt it necessary at 9:33pm on a Saturday night, to let you know how DAMN proud of myself I am. Lets go through the reasons..hopefully you agree.
First; I have not ONCE bitched out loud to anybody today about how annoyed I am that I'm working on a Saturday Night and missed the Metro Cruise on 28Th st, because hey, I got to sleep in until 11 this morning when Stephen woke me up..not bad.
B.) Although I hate...no no..loath working by myself..as you know..I still smiled and wished Amber well when she left at 5:50 this evening to go to a barbecue.
3- As you now know I'm working by myself....I have yet to sit in the back except for exactly 3 minutes while I ate my snack of string cheese (I brought 4 sticks..so everyone could have one). I have stepped around the corner occasionally to take sips of my diet caffeine free orange Sunkist (trying to sympathize with those headaches you've been having) and then for another moment when I was making my crystal light drink mixture. and THAT'S IT!! Granted...I have the stool from the kitchen (which I got BEFORE Amber left) but still....
I'm freezing..like usual. but I've accepted it..maybe I'll pace for a while. Get that blood flowing. or maybe I'll put up the 'clerk will return promptly' sign, grab the night phone and sit in the hot tub in my under garments and warm up..sounds like a plan.
I miss working with you.
Love you Mama Bear :)

STILL sick
Sooo...
let me just say first that I havent been sick since February...and I remember that because my dr. asked me if I was going to get proposed to on valentines day, ha...ha.....anyway..Ive been very blessed with my health these past however many months. There was a time where I was sick every 6 weeks with strep or tonsilitis.
NOW..the dr said I have acute tonsilitis...he did a second throat culture(my personal fav thing) and sent it out..should have called me back today but didnt..yes yes Im calling tomorrow...but I know have been on my antibiotic (Amoxicillin) for a FULL 3 days..and while the swelling of my GENORMOUS tonsils went down, I still cant eat with out feeling like Im going to throw up...it still hurts everyDAMN time I swallow...my head..neck..and back throb..and Im just freaking tired. I feel exhausted..I havent done a damn this since I left work on Saturday.
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday night I MAYBE got 4 hours of sleep at a time..with staying up like 3 hours in between 'sleeps' I just couldnt get comfortable enough to relax to sleep.
but today..I sleep until 12:15..when Stephen woke me up with a cute text..perfect to wake up to. then I dozed until about 1...and then pouted around the house because Im lonely...I understand that people dont wanna get sick..but it still sucks...I miss people!!..Im tired of my room...but ironically..its the only place I wanna be...I'll be upstairs getting yet another drink and its RIGHT back down to my room.
But now I cant sleep...Im tired as hell...but can't sleep..so now Im watching ellen(anyone else think she has put on some weight?) and drinking my diet sunkist orange soda. Slightly pissed. I have to work tomorrow and I dont know how Im gonna do it...Im wondering if I should be checked for mono....a couple people that I have talked to have said the same thing...what a way to spend the last of my summer days...
Not only that but what about work? not only do I not have any paid vacation days left...but Tara is off and Merr and John are going back to school soon..I feel like scheduling is SO tight and I dont wanna be difficult. ugh.
ok well my head is pounding so bad that my eye is starting to twitch and its getting hard to focus.
whatever. goodnight

Typical
I'm sick.
And it sucks.
It's my fault.
You know how sometimes you know whats best for you..but you say screw it because you wanna have fun anyway?
yeah..that was this weekend for me.
I know I need rest more than other people..but I decided to sleep out in Grand Haven on Stephens parents boat on Friday and Saturday night..great boat..comfortable and everything..but I didn't get as much sleep as I should have because Stephen and I were having fun with Ian and Aubree and his parents..on Friday night we went to this concert of oldies and it was SO much fun..we even went and danced for a couple songs..then went to the carnival and walked around a little bit...then watched a movie on the boat..now granted it was pretty warm outside..and we had spent the whole day on the lake..swimming and laying out and playing football(yes even me) and I think I was pretty tired..but everyone else was warm(not unusual for me to NOT be warm) so they turned the air on in the boat..and it was probably only 70..but I was FREEZING! I had on all the shirts I brought and shorts and 3 blankets and was CHILLY..so Stephen...being the wonderful guy he is..gave me extra pants and I eventually warmed up..and got about 5 hours of sleep.
Then Saturday went out for breakfast with everyone and hung out for alittle bit and Aub and I went to Michigans Adventure with my parents for my dads work party..it was actually perfect "Michigans Adventure weather' but the place was PACKED..we did lots of walking and lots of waiting..and after eating the supplied lunch (hot dog and macaroni salad and ice cream..which was all great) my stomach felt a little bit off...so we hung out in the wave pool for a little bit and headed back to Grand Haven..FINALLY got a shower..in the Marina bathroom(don't recommend it unless necessary) and felt somewhat better...then we went and layed around with the boys on the top deck..went and got some Lamb Pita's with extra fetta (yum!!) and another funnel cake..mmm! and hung out with Stephens family until it was fireworks time!! and OOOOOOooo MY Gosh!! amazing doesnt even describe it..(Im not a fireworks fanatic or anything..I enjoy the 4th..but dont mind only seeing them once a year) BUT they really did go all out this year..because it was the last of the 10 year grant..I shook a couple of times because the boom was so loud! It was so fun and romantic all at the same time...being all cuddled up in a blanket with him...plus having great friends around us too...it was great. I was planning on going home about an hour after the fireworks...after the traffic had died down a little..HAHA! I got so tired after just laying around waiting that I was aloud to drive home :) So when we went to move my car which was just accross the street..the traffic was STILL horrible...Coastguard amazes me...really. So saturday night I got my own room(no more couch for me!) and I slept SO good and was SO warm! I could barely make it up the stairs from Stephens room after SNL..but I managed and dont remember my head hitting the pillow..and I slept until 10 or so..and then dozed until about 11..then we packed up and headed out :) but even then..my throat..was sore..and my glands..were swollen..damnit.
So now..I can still feel it a little..and I could go out and stuff..but then I would just end up getting strep or something and be out for 2 weeks..so instead I'll just take a few slow days and get back up there :) Plus I have Lasgna to make!! A pan for Tara and Nate...a pan for my family (John and Courtney included) and a pan for Stephen and his parents....AND I get to pick classes on THursday morning..so i have my first and second choices of schedules all picked out too..and man..I need to finish hanging stuff on my walls!!
ps...Chris comes home in under 3 weeks! and I get one night all to myself with him! Best Friends reunited!!
ooh..which reminds me..Ill have to post about other 'friends' later :)
but I should go to bed..its back to work tomorrow after 5 days off...I remember when I was actually excited about work...wow was that a long time ago...
ok..goodnight!!
ps-Im not single :o)

Trying
I didn't really want to use this blog as an outlet to bitch about when things are bugging me. But today..I'm having a pity party. But I'm trying :) to stay positive...to be optimistic-
optimistic -----expecting the best in this best of all possible worlds; "in an optimistic mood"; "optimistic plans"; "took an optimistic view"
can I just say that I hate when I'm looking up a specific word..that they use the word in the actual definition..wtf?!
ANYWAY..I am looking forward to a fabulous weekend coming up :)
I am going to help an insurance agency for about an hour..passing out welcome gifts and bottles of wine from my families insurance agent (who is also great friends with my dad)as they just bought a suite downtown..I'm pretty excited. It's only going to take about an hour and I get to look cute! It'll be nice not to have to wear 3 shifts and flats to work :)
Straight after that..maybe I'll lunch with my dad and then its out to Grand Haven for the rest of the day!! I think it'll be in the 90s so the lake air will feel good..plus I'll be with Stephen..can't really get any better than that :)
As for Saturday..I'm going to Michigan's Adventure with my parents for my dads company picnic! Do some water rides and some roller coasters then its back out to Grand Haven for some spectacular fireworks with Stephen! I hear that it's going to be the last year of the 'good' show..apparently some very well off guy left a 10 year grant for fireworks..and this year is the 10th year...Im anxious to see what next years will be like.
Look at all of that, that I have to look forward too. I'm so blessed.
