FB, SG, etc
I'm putting together a footblock for ASME, Phi Rho and friends so if you're a UF student with season tickets, let me know if you'd like to join the block. Email me if you want more info.

Tomorrow night is the 200th episode of SG and it's going to be insanely awesome. so don't call me and expect me to do anything while it's on.

i've figured out why i have such a problem finding a guy that will last very long. just take a gander at what i want in a guy: nerdy, athletic, not wimpy, thoughtful, outgoing, likes sci-fi, likes country music, good looking, social, likes rat pack music, smart, clean (self and home), likes to do things outside, cares about other people, thinks for himself. those aren't normal combinations.

*sigh*

change of plans
so joe's wife got 4 tickets to the game on saturday so joe, john and their wives are going to go. so we're not having dinner and i'm coming to gville friday night again.

jeff f, my project manager from STL is here right now and he just told me that my presentation blew everybody away and the director was still talking about it after the meeting! :-D

HAHA!
HAHA, this is kinda sudden and random but remember that guy that I was all hung up over... ya... so over him! I don't know why or how, but all of a sudden I just don't care anymore. Maybe it's this high i've been riding because i'll be moving back to gville this weekend.

I was planning on going to gville this friday, but one of they guys from work invited me to dinner on saturday and they all begged me to go. his wife is in town (she lives in mexico) for a few weeks and she wanted to cook for us all. so i'll be coming back just in time for aric's party :-)

oh ya, i have 288 bottles of beer/barcadi silver that will need to be consumed in the first few weeks of school, any volunteers? i will be having a party, just don't know when yet!

new website
well, actually the url is the same, but i've completely redone my website ... with html... all by myself! Thanks to Peter's wonderful tutelage from about a year ago! It's got a new look, all the pages are laid out the same, but with different colors. it was fun at first.. but that's a lot of pages to redo with html. but i'm glad it's done and it looks cooler. however, wish i could get free web hosting without all those annoying popups and banners!

I left my wallet at lunch yesterday, but went back and it was there and there was nothing missing. close call.

found a bedspread last night. looks a little more indian than moroccan, but i think it will be ok. i'm going to open it today to make sure i like it. if i succeed in what i'm trying to do with my room, it will be very opulent with warm colors and soft textures... that's the goal anyway.

got a usb drive... finally. ya, i was a little slow to jump on that bandwaggon, huh?

i'm working right now, worked 10.5 hours yesterday. i just keep thinking about the $$$$ :-)

working the weekend
It's Friday but that doesn't mean much cuz I have to work Saturday and Sunday, probably 10-12 hour days too. That's ok because the money is nice... i spent quite a bit the last two weeks. But I was planning on going to Gville to finish unpacking but I guess that will have to wait until the 18th when I move back for good!

I bought a futon for my room on ebay, I have to go pick it up in Orlando on the 20th. It's one of those with cusioned sides and stuff so it looks like a real couch and you don't see any of the futon frame.

I've decided to try to decorate my room in a Moroccan theme. I'm mainly using deep blues, deep reds, and golds so far. May add in some hunter green type colors. It's tough to find stuff for it though. My coworker anna told me about this place called World Market. She said they might have some stuff so I'm going to go there after work.

My mouth is feeling better, just sore mainly now. I have to go back on monday so they can take that thing out. Hopefully there won't be anymore problems.

Not too much going on now with me. Still missing that guy... sometimes I can be such a girl and I hate it! Hopefully I'll get over it soon tho, I'll just keep myself busy. Maybe I'll meet another one... cuter and smarter... doubt it, but I can always hope :-)

exit presentation!
I had my exit presentation today... I think it went pretty well.

I presented to a group in St Louis via a net conference where they could see my computer/ppt presentation. The meeting was supposed to start at 2:15, but I was supposed to sign on to the net meeting software to meet sandie and ron at 2. So I tried to log on to the computer at 5 til 2, but then my computer took forever to sign on... So at 2:08 I finally get on, and sandie and ron aren't on! So I start trying to call people and email people to find out what's going on. Finally at 2:14, when i was about to have a nervous breakdown, i got an email from ron saying they were having technical problems and to hold on. Then we started at around 2:20.

At the end, Jerry Eyink (the big wig) said it was the best presentation they had seen this year :-D All the other co-ops presented last week. He also asked me how I had time for all my extracurricular activities and said that the people up there should be taking notes from me. :-D I think that's a good sign. he also said my presentation was very thorough.

In other news... I went to the dentist this morning cuz my mouth was still hurting. They gave me the treatment for dry socket because that's what they think it is. it looked like a little mat of twigs and dirt.. and they put that down in the cavity where the tooth used to be. It hurt like you-know-what when they put it in, but then after it felt good. I have to go back monday for them to take it out. hopefully it will heal and i can eat normally again.

new apartment
i moved my stuff in to my new apartment this weekend. i decided to take my parents twin bed and leave them my queen because the past few years i've felt so cramped because my bed took up all my floor space in my room. so the way my furniture is set up right now, half my room is empty because it's a very large room! i'm going to get a futon, and maybe a table to do my scrapbooking and crafts on for the empty space. i'll still have a good amount of floor space :-)

in our sizable living room we have an awesome bar set up and elmer's supposed to be installing stadium seating this week. it's gonna be a pretty social apartment, i think. i'm excited, next year should be pretty fun.

roman's not moving back to gville with me. i don't have enough time to spend with him (and to keep him from peeing on stuff).

i've been kinda bumming lately cuz i'm hung up on this guy, but a relationship's not really possible right now given the current situation. and i don't even know if he'd want a relationship if it was possible. but at least i haven't tried to comfort myself with food... yet. that's what i usually do, but i'm trying to lose some more weight. i miss him.

i have to give my exit presentation for work tomorrow. kinda nervous. i know my presentation is pretty good, but i'm really uncomfortable with giving it over the computer and phone instead of in person (i'm giving it to people in st louis).

healing... i think
today my boss sent me home an hour early cuz i was in pain. he asked me why i didn't take a painkiller and i told him i couldn't until i got home because i couldn't drive after taking one. those things are like having 6 drinks! i can't walk in a straight line after taking one. by the time i got home i felt like someone had used my jaw and skull for practice with a sledgehammer.

on the bright side, i was able to eat a full serving of tuna helper today for dinner. i even chewed a little :-)

i'm a little nervous about my exit presentation next week. since the plant doesn't have video conferencing equipment i don't know how i'm going to do it. it will suck to just do it using teleconferencing. i really wish they'd fly me up to STL to do it. i'd be so much more comfortable presenting to a live audience

video camera!
Started playing with my new video camera today! It's so easy to get videos on the computer and edit them. And they save in MPEG Format so they're easy to share!

And the camera is sooo small... it's adorable. Can't wait to get back to school so i have something to film besides my empty house :-)

still can't eat, but now i have a diversion :-)

this sucks
absolutely miserable!! i haven't been able to eat for 2 days due to swollen mouth AND naseau (sp?). It hurts all the time, the pain killers don't help that much. i can't even open a water bottle beacuse i'm so weak. this SUCKS!
