On a sidenote, I heard the oddest thing the other day... Jeff told me that Britney Spears has started a singing career, and she's actually been pretty successful. Can anyone tell me if this is true?? I've never heard such a thing...

Ahhh... another fine day...

Last night, we got our butts kicked BADLY on the court. It was our own fault... but it was pretty lame.

I got home later, and was watching Conspiracy Theory with Jen... I started to get a headache, but I was just ignoring it... anyhow, it turned into a migraine, I took medicine way too late, and ended up hating life. Then, I started feeling quite ill... So, I told Jen that I needed to go to bed, and I tried to fall asleep. After 5-10 minutes, which felt like a year, I couldn't take it anymore, and I went in the bathroom and threw up. Yeah, fun. The light was murder on my headache, so I turned it off. It was NO fun. I got my sister to get me some water, and my Mom and Jen both came and helped, and that was good. After quite a while of sitting on the ground in there, I finally went to bed. i stayed home from work today as a result of all of this.

As a result of staying home, I got to watch the baseball game. It was excellent. The Giants won, and the series is tied at 2.

Other than that, life goes on as usual. Cheryl and Jason are here. They are leaving tomorrow. It was kind of cool to have all of us here at the same time, but I was in Mom's room watching the game while Ken and Jami were here. Oh well.

So, back to work I go in the morning. Joy of all joys.

Oi, I really need to pay more attention to this thing...

Jen is here again. She's staying for a whole week. That should really be good.

I have basketball tonight! I am really happy for that. I love playing basketball so much. It rocks my face off.

Ahh! I watched Changing Lanes last night... It is SOOOO good! You should watch it.

Ahhh.. another morning. This is bringing back memories of when I used to post in this thing at least once a day, usually twice. Ahh, those were the days.

I'm kinda hungry. I should eat something.

Thursday... the totally not fun day at work. I get to spend the whole day stalking! Oops! I mean stocking.

I'm at work, on my lunch break. Today is going quite well, actually. Last night sucked, but I'm over it, and it's a brand new day. So, I'm sitting here eating my burritos. Yum. Actually, Phoebe gave me part of her Rubicon Deli sandwich... if you are ever in Tahoe City, you have to try those sandwiches.YUM.

Well... World Series tickets went on sale today. They are already sold out, and I don't have one. It's just as well though, because I don't have a car in which to go down there anyhow. But at least I get to watch it on TV. That'll be a lot of fun. I'm going to record the games, because I am working during all but one of them. Ahhh, isn't fall great

Okay, off I go. Enjoy your day.

Another day, another... dollar.. headache... *shrug*

My brother is here. He's staying for a few montsh with his 3 month old son while his wife is out to sea. She's in the Navy. Lame. But he's here, and that's cool.

I heard a song today that reminded me of my life...
"Late night... come home... work sucks... I know..."

Yeah, that about describes it.

Okay. I want to sleep soon. Yes...

Tonight was fun... the game was a blast. It was preseason, so it wasn't normal and stuff, but it was soo cool to have it in Reno, in the small little arena, and WAY more noise than that place is used to The Kings won by 10 points, and they looked GOOD doing it. At least the starters did. It was like they didn't take any time off. YES! I'm now officially pumped for basketball season

I just found out that I won't have my car for at least another couple of weeks, so I'm stuck with Mom's Jeep and Dad's truck, which sticks Mom without a car three days a week. Fortunately, she's totally okay with that. She will only be missing out on going to the post office on those days.

The estimate was somewhere near $5000. That made me happy They have to replace the hood, the radiator, the grill, the air conditioning condenser, the parking light/turn signal, the light housing, etc... It's kinda wierd, but I kinda wish the deer had landed on the roof of the car... That would have jacked it up probably well beyond what the car is worth, and I would have walked away with $3000. Ahhh... but life isn't so simple, and I wasn't going very fast. Anyhow, thank God for full coverage insurance.

Okay... time to e-mail jen and get to sleep Have a great day.

Bleh... Man...

I haven't posted in a while. Blah

Jen came up for a couple of days again. It was good to see her again, and I'm always sad when she leaves, but we have been very blessed to see each other as much as we have.

I hate the fact that certain people are going to have hurt feelings if they aren't invited to my wedding, but I do not really want them to be there... Or in a couple of cases, that they won't be in the wedding party, and they may have thought that they would be... It isn't helping that we have not decided how big the party will be, but I already know that people are going to feel left out, because that is human nature. I want for my brothers to be in the party, and I have at least two others in mind, but I'm having a massively bad time trying to figure this all out. The problem is that I am trying to shoot for no hurt feelings... but there is no way that it will work.

The official hardest thing to deal with for me right at this moment in regards to being engaged is people who ask, "So, am I invited?" I mean... what am I supposed to say if I wasn't going to invite them?? Fortunately for me, the only people who have asked that have been like... DUH... of course you are.

Man, I really want to talk to someone right now... The blog is okay... But, honestly, I am not really able to get everything out that I want to get out on here... partly because of who reads this, and partly because of who might read this. Gosh, it SUCKS to feel like this... ready to explode, and wide awake at 1:20 AM because you have stuff just bubbling up inside, wanting to pour out.

Jen has a lot going on, but it isn't really my place to say anything about any of it right now, so, Jen, if you want to you can tell everybody anything you feel like telling them in the comments here.

I had a basketball game last night. It was our first one. It was fun... We won, and I did okay. I was annoyed with a couple of things, but oh well, such is life. I'm not there to be annoyed, I am there to be a witness and to have fun. *shrug* We have a bye next week, so we might practice. I hope we do, because there are a couple of things that I would like to say to the team. All nice things, of course.

Ohhhh!!! I'm going to see the Kings tomorrow night in Reno!! I'm getting off work early, and we are all meeting over there. It is going to be AWESOME. I'm VERY excited. And on top of this, the Giants have been kicking booty! This makes me happy.

Bleh... I can't say things I want to say, so we'll leave it at that. Much love to you all.

Well, back to work I go... in Mom's car. Mine is now at a body shop in Reno. Fun fun fun!!

Missing work is no fun for the finances. But, Oh well. God's going to take care of me, just as he always has.

Today... SUCKED. BADLY.

I hit a deer on the way home from work. My car is not happy. The radiator is leaking, the hood is just a mess, the parking light/right turn signal is broken...

The good news is that it wasn't my fault. My stinking anti lock breaks failed. yeah, that seems to happen every time I need them. Unhappy, am I.

Well, I have been consoling myself by consuming mass amounts of chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Fun.

Oh well... I need to sleep now.

Ahhh... it's wednesday. I've been neglectful of my weblog.

Jen went home... very sad. I couldn't sleep last night, almost at all... so I stayed home. I MUST work tomorrow.

Life changes really fast... it is incredible. But I love it.

This weekend has been wonderful. Great America was... well, great. We ended up not seeing any concerts, but we did pick up our friend Nelson, and spent the day with him. We also spent much of the day with Jen's dad and brother. It was just... really great.

We ate chinese food tonight... OHHH my... I LOVE chinese... I want more, like right now. Oh well. Time for bed.
