day 17 - almost forgot

Not that I have anything TO blog about, so I'm just going to write about things nobody actually cares about.

Girly doc tomorrow - ahhh!

Anyone watching the Biggest Loser? Tonight's elimination = WAT.

This is a dumb post.

day 16 - what to do...

I've spent today making an extensive list of things I need to do but won't have time. Hence why I am blogging now from my phone. Oye!

7:39pm
OK, definitely doing half of it tomorrow since it just took me an hour and a half to find my insurance card. I just scoured like my entire apartment. Now that I've inhaled a metric ton of dust, my allergies are going crazy! Sigh.

day 15 - doing nothing

Sundays were designed for doing nothing, and I am doing a whole lot of it! Well, ok, so I went to church and shopping, but other than that... time to relax. :) Gonna watch some more episodes of The Office now!

day 14 - what!?

I woke up this morning with a huge headache... it gradually got worse and I ended up throwing up!!! I feel better now though. My head still sorta hurts but whatever.

I went to help do something at church this morning, and when I got there they were already done. It was supposed to start at 8 and I got there at 7:59. Um. But the youth pastor still bought us Denny's :) We played ultimate frisbee after that but I didn't play the whole time due to (see above).

I am going to a bridal shower now... yay.

day 13 - text post

Day 13. At chilis with friends. Not sure when i will be home. We are talking about squirrels. Yay girls night! Work was slow all week - glad its over :) bye!

ETA: 11:46pm. Woulda barely made it! =P

day 12 - blah

I made a handwritten post at work and I am too lazy to scan it. It was about how I had nothing to do and we didn't get enough mail and I was tired of playing Hearts/Minesweeper/Pinball all day. LOL.

I am home now and my stomach hurts. Meh.

day 11 - it's like i'm an adult or something

I made appointments today for the gynecologist and the eye doctor. I've never been to the former (which is ridiculous since I'm 26) and I haven't been to the latter in almost 6 years, so it was high time I did this. Of course this can be blamed on the fact that I had no insurance for like 4 years. Whoops.

Also, I just added a metric ton of items to my Urban Outfitters wishlist. I don't fit into any of their clothes but their apartment stuff is AMAZING.

day 10 - my inner teenager

When I was in high school, I shopped at Hot Topic. Not exclusively, but I had a few pairs of plaid pants and wore them proudly. Then I realized that Hot Topic was incredibly lame. Now that I am 26, I still see various brightly colored things at wherever I shop and I have to suppress the urge to buy them upon the realization that I no longer (and probably never did) look good in these things, not to mention they are not clothes that adults wear. However I went to Hot Topic today to buy a To Write Love On Her Arms t-shirt since TWLOHA day is this Friday, and I wanted to buy half the freaking store. Not even kidding. I did actually end up buying a Paramore shirt as well. I even still had some old Frequent Buyer cards, you know with the tombstones and whenever you spend $10 they put a skull stamp on there. I swear when I get paid on Friday I am raiding that store like nobody's business. GEEZE.

Work today was completely pointless. I hate days like that.

I didn't end up buying the new Switchfoot CD or the new Up DVD because I blew all my money at Hot Topic, haha. They actually had the CD but I can't justify buying a Switchfoot CD there, sorry.

day 9 - sahara

I am totally addicted to the song "Sahara" by Relient K. Their newest album came out a month ago and it is SO good, but that is the best song. It's a really great message about how even when we are at our lowest point, God is still with us and faith can keep us going.

Speaking of albums coming out, Switchfoot's new one comes out tomorrow. Definitely buying it! Also the movie "Up" comes out on DVD. One of my friends works at Blockbuster and already has a copy of it, and a bunch of us watched it last night after the fundraising dinner (which was awesome, btw) and it is SUCH a good movie. I can't wait to own it!!!

day 8 - boring

Today is boring. Went to church, went to Target, probably gonna take a nap. Tonight I am going to a fundraising dinner for my friend who is going on a missions trip. This post is lame.

day 7 - epic fail, epic win, and just plain epic :)

Last night after the pottery painting, I went bowling with a couple of the girls. When we got to the bowling alley, the craziest thing happened: I saw a girl I graduated high school with! Now keep in mind I went to high school ohhhhh 1200 miles away from where I live now. She had flown into town for a wedding and had seriously just gotten picked up from the airport. CRAZY!!! I've known this girl since elementary school and we were in girl scouts together and everything. So we called each others moms and talked to them, haha. Even though it was like 10pm.

The other crazy thing that happened is that myself and one of the other girls tied all 3 games of bowling!!!! LOL.

This morning was Buddy Break and it was a lot of fun. It is great to bring out my inner child once in a while :) OH, there is this thing that you sit on 4 seats and bounce up and down, and I thought that the 2 seats across from each other were connected, so I tried to sit down and bounce my friend since I weigh more than him, and not only did my fat self plummet towards the ground, but I totally just fell off onto the ground, flailing everywhere and such. It was hilarious. I ended up getting a wood chip stuck in my hand.

day 6 - fail

Work was exhausting today. We are rewriting (more accurately "writing in the first place") our department's Policy & Procedure, and how we're doing it is that each person writes up the P&P for what they're responsible for, I proofread it for various things such as details, accuracy, SPELLING AND GRAMMAR!!!!!, and then it goes to the team lead to get added and also she makes sure we make sense and/or didn't leave anything out. Some of my coworkers have very bad grammar which makes my job much more difficult than it has to be. Overall the P&P project is very tiring and fries my brain, especially when it's Friday and I just want to go hoooome.

The reason this post is called "fail" is because I tried to post from my phone earlier to see if a picture message would work, and it did not. Oh well.

I have a very busy weekend coming up, which I'm grateful for since most of the "busyness" is due to me having a social life for once. I have friends!? :) Just kidding. This is what my schedule is like, without going into too much detail:

Tonight: Girls night - pottery painting; was going to go to a carnival to see some improv and my friend play some music, but it's too far away and I'm tired.
Tomorrow: Buddy Break, possibly my friend's business grand opening, and definitely going to the carnival.
Sunday: New member class at church (more details in a sec), the actual church service, a fundraising dinner for my friend who is going on a mission trip. Maybe biking, I probably should since I haven't in a few weeks.

So as you see from my schedule, I have decided to join my church officially. I've never done that before, so I'm really excited! The thing with the church I went to where I used to live is that I went as a youth, so I only connected with the youth and never really got involved in much else. But now that I am an adult, I am connecting with people of all ages and doing a better job of avoiding the cliquey-ness that befalls many churches. It's still there, but I'm bouncing around enough that it's not affecting me too negatively. Anyway I can't wait to get involved in more stuff there.

I am going to call a lady on Craigslist about buying a bicycle. If that happens, I am definitely not going to my friend's business thing. I probably won't go anyway, haha. It sounds boring but I am happy for him.

This is a really long post! Yay. Win :)

day 5 - holy crap i almost lost!!!

Wow, just made it w/this post. Totally forgot to blog today. Not really anything to blog about though... just got back from a Bible study w/some friends and it was a very interesting car ride, haha. Um, I don't even know what to write about. Work was boring.

Oh, I've been watching the entire series of The Office lately... I'm up to season 5 and I just saw the episode where Pam and Jim got engaged. Aaaawww. :D

day 4 - not brr!

They fixed the a/c vent so I am not an eskimo anymore!!! Yay!

One thing I mentioned a couple months ago is that I had been considering becoming a youth leader at my church. I don't update this blog very often but I figured I should mention that at the end of September I finally did it. It's been good so far. Like I said, I had gone on a girls' conference as one of the chaperones. I'm really hoping I can be a good role model for all the kids, especially those girls. I've been helping w/the 6th grade girls small group, although this week I will be w/8th grade girls since that person isn't coming tonight. So I hope that it can be rewarding for both myself and the kids.

day 3 - brr!

Our office is freezing. The a/c is turned down way too low, plus the vent is directly on top of my desk so I am even more cold. Hence I have this comic tacked to my cubicle :) I emailed the maintenance people today to see if they can redirect the vent somehow because I kind of enjoy not having frostbite.

The book study was good last night! I am enjoying the book so far and the people at the study were all very nice. I was older than all of them though, but that's ok.

day 2 - reading!

I am very much not a reader, but this Bible study I've been going to is starting a small group on the book "The Shack", and I have heard tons of great things about this book, so I'm going. Not only will I get to read a book, but I will get to interact with people I haven't gotten a chance to get to know yet. So far it's a pretty good book - we'll see how this goes! :)

day 1 - I'm sick :(

I helped chaperone a girls' conference w/my church and it was a really great time! However I now have a cold that I am trying to combat in every way I know how... meds, vitamin C, fluids, and rest. It better not be anything other than a cold!

I realize this is not the most exciting blog post I've ever made, but whatever.

I have a friend who has done NaNoWriMo for the last 5-6 years and this year his little brother is also doing it. Aaawwww.

That's all for now... kickoff complete! :D

NaBloPoMo 2009...

...starts TOMORROW! So I'm posting this to remind myself to blog bloggity blog blog! :D

And also to remind myself to set my clock back. Man do I need the extra hour of sleep!

SCORE!!!!!

Test post!

ETA: DUDE. BLOGGER TO GO ACTUALLY WORKS THIS YEAR. I DO NOT HAVE TO HANDWRITE POSTS!

Did it last year...

NaBloPoMo is coming up.

"What on earth is that!?"

Well, it's the blogger's version of NaNoWriMo.

"Which is...?"

Hehe, I realize these are weird abbreviations. National Novel Writing Month is where those who love to write spend a month creating a 50,000 word novel. Since there is no way in heck I will ever be able to accomplish such a feat, I choose to participate in National Blog Posting Month instead, whereby those who love to blog write one post every day for a month.

You better appreciate all those bold tags. :)

I know that I am going camping for Thanksgiving weekend, so I will handwrite my blog posts that day, since posting from my phone isn't an option the way it is on, um, other blog sites that I use. o_O

So yeah, if anyone is actually reading this and you start noticing that I post every day... now you know why :)
