back to earth

I'm back!

I realized that I've been MIA since my big 2-5. I don't understand where the hell the time is going, but it's going somewhere for sure. I guess I've just been busier now than ever....well, since college.

I have been super busy with photography stuff....booking shoots left and right. It's very exciting! I hope it all pans out. I still am not nearly confident enough to shoot a super serious wedding, and don't know if that's even the route I want to go...but I am really enjoying what I've been doing lately. Work has been friggin insane. It's our busiest time of the year and I want to scream. Today, luckily, we get to all scream. For ice cream! We're having an ice cream social. I went and bought all the stuff so I know what we're gonna be able to dig into, and let me tell you. I will be elbow-deep in some crushed oreos, gummy bears, and caramel sauce. And I will not weigh myself afterwards. Nope.

So, I don't know if I mentioned it in my bday blog, but my gift this year from the fam/bf was a wii. A wii and everything to go with it. holy nuts. I'm totally addicted. Cord and I have gotten really into wii fit. I am not joking when I say that it REALLY works. Not only are the physical excercies challenging but they're also fun! And somehow, the mental side of the wii fit really works. It guilt trips you a little if you gain wait, or if you don't workout for a couple days. It's awesome. Really motivating. It keeps score of your progress so you're always wanting to keep going to better your own score, and compete against other people's scores. Only Cord and I have stuff set up on mine, so it's really competitive and fun. He gets so mad when I beat him at things. It's funny, we're both definitely better at different things, which is nice. I like seeing him jog in place and do the warrior I pose. tres cute!

I'm exhausted. I need to start sleeping more.

My dad sent me some bday cash (very unexpected and most welcomed and needed) so I'm going to finally get a film camera. I've been wanting one for about 6 months and the time has finally come! I have been stalking the lomography website forever and I just can't decide which one to get. So today might just be the day I have to make a decision and suck it up and just get one! I'm also going to get a pair of rain boots with my bday money. I am so over wet jeans in the rain.

Now that school is back in session, all the brats park on the street by work, so I'm back to the garage and walking a few feet further (big woop, right). haha, big woop. Anyway, it often puddles up back there when it rains, so now I will able to walk through the puddles without the worry of wet jeans all day. can't wait.

I am feeling very inspired and creative today. Feeling a lot like that lately in general. It's nice.

happy friday to me.

8.8.08 = 25

I'm 25! aaah!!

today has been the best day.

I really feel so loved. Thank you to everyone who has made me feel uber special. That makes YOU uber special :)

Tonight is going to be full of excitement and love and food and alcohol. I can't wait. Thanks to Emo Mul for providing me with the 5 hour energy drink I needed, and thanks to C. Copperpot for giving me the most amazing cupcakes ever. I heart them. And they heart me. And I heart all of you.

heart heart heart!!

quarter of a century

So yea, I'm turning 25 tomorrow. I'm pretty stoked about it. I'm sick of always being called "SO young" by those around me. As if me being two years younger than them is SO young. Whatevs! I'm a kid and proud of it! Well, I'm a kid for 9 more hours at least.... and I've definitely lived the life of a 25 year old...I think I was 25 at age 18 with all the shit I did as a youngin'. I have realized that turning 25, I really need to start saving money. No more being a kid. I'd love to buy a house.

Lots going on lately. Went to FLA, had a blast....nice and relaxing. Now back to the grind, turning 25, and crazy as all get out at work. All day long I've had a "pelvic flutter" - it's for real, look it up. Basically my lower belly is twitching all damn day. My eye was twitching a lot on vacation and earlier this week, so now it's just moved down to my belly. So strange. I was like, hmm, I hope that's not a baby kickin' in there! That better just be water weight that I've been gaining! haha. It is, don't worry. Meggers isn't preggers. Taken a test and everything. Not to get personal, but this new b.c. pill made me blow up and skip a few months so I was a little worried. But the doc said that's perfectly normal. WHAT? THAT'S NORMAL? No thanks, I'll go back to my old pill thank you very much!

God, these flourescent lights are killing my ass. Every few hours I see this white flash. I wonder if it's the IT department at work super syping into my computer and I'm not even noticing it. Well, IT dept -if you're reading my blog, now you know all about my birth control pill. Hope you're happy.

I think I'm suffering from a bit of "post vacation depression" - you know the drill....you get away from the norm for a while, and when you're back, it takes a few days to realize that wow, this is it. I'm actually pretty happy with "it," but damn these flourescent lights :)

My bday celebrations are really exciting. I have 25, yes 25, friends coming to dinner tomorrow night! I didn't know I even had that many friends! We've rented out a big area in the front of Cabana and we're gonna eat, drink, and mingle, and then go to see Daniel Tosh (comedian) at Zanies, then hit up the town for some Agave and honky tonkin'. I'm very much looking forward to everything, and I feel so loved that I have so many people that want to celebrate with me. I am very lucky to have these people in my life. And even though these flourescent lights someday might be the death of me, I'm lucky enough to work under them, and to have met the people I've met working under the same horrible lights. :-) ~zen moment.~..........

a few pics from the FL trip. lots o' fun :)
