H'mm...

I don't have a whole lot to say. It's been a pretty boring weekend for me and what not. We did basically nothing all weekend. Friday night we went to see Pat McCurdy @ O'Garas. It was pretty cool. Lotsa hoochie mamas, though. What was funnier was that this 'group', Herbal T, opened for Pat. (We saw them when they opened for Pat @ The Stone's Throw in Eau Claire, and they were funny - kinda. Then they played the same exact set as when we saw them in Eau Claire. What made it funny this night was that they started talking about Eau Claire. It was me, Andrea, Shaun, Jeremy and Cory all at a table, and 5 of us booed very loudly (we were all from Stout, mind and have a HUGE rivalry between us and Eau Claire). There were lots of people there from Eau Claire to support them or whatever, and they all turned and stared at us. Herbal T were like, 'Hey, don't boo...' Haha, whatever.

The rest of the weekend we literally did nothing. Sunday I sat in front of my computer for about 16 hours. Straight. I made a wallpaper for my Myspace, and then worked on an illustration which I will post. It's a work in progress, I am definitely not satisfied with it. It needs more shading. Anyway, at this point, I have a total of about 25 hours into it. Sad to think - that's over a day! It's been so long since I've actually spent any time doing anything really related to my major... I think that I have finally gotten over the overload of stress related to my senior project. Thank GOD. I have ideas in mind for canvases to paint to liven up our place since we aren't going to be painting anymore. But we have to wait until I get a job to do that. Ugh, I have the hugest creative urgings right now. I almost literally cannot sit still. I don't even want to read! (which, if you know me, says something!)

Monday Jennifer came down to see us! Yay! I <3 visitors! Monday night we had to try to get tickets for Cory @ the Xcel box office (but they were out) so then we went to eat @ Billy's Tavern (yum!!!) up on Grand and try to get me a new keychain that Shaun broke. But they were closed. So we then watched Walk the Line (great movie!). Tuesday Jen and I went swimming, then cleaned up and went to the MOA. We basically walked all the way around every floor. (We did #1 twice) but she got what she needed, and I spent less than $10. Then we came back here and I realized that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire went on sale, so we went and picked that up, too. And then we watched it. (Of course!) Then Jennifer left this morning. I went and worked out. I found my iShuffle, thank goodness. It is a lot easier working out to fast-paced music than the TV. Seems to go much faster - you can break it down into how many songs you listen to, haha. Seems easier to digest that way. I know I have to start doing weights, but I detest weight lifting. But more muscles = more calories burned.

The lady from my first interview returned my call yesterday (I had made it in the morning) and said that she was still interviewing this week and that she'd get back to me. She called me 'hon'. I wonder if it's a speech mannerism or she actually liked me? Who knows. Haven't heard anything else about my second interview, but I'm not surprised. I just want a call back so I can actually go shopping! Haha!

Anyway, tomorrow I'm sure I'm just going to be cleaning up around here and working out whenever I get around to it. Friday we're going to our photographer's studio to get our wedding pictures (YAAAAAAAAAAAY!). I can't wait. And Shaun has free tickets to the Auto Show, so I'm sure we'll be going to that this weekend. Hope you all are having a great week!

Turns out I had more to say than I thought...!


Edit: Dietrich, our photographer called tonight. Turns out the processing center doesn't have the pictures ready for tomorrow, and that he would like time to get them arranged for us. So now we're going to pick them up Wednesday night. :( sad times!

Sorry, I had to. She's so darn cute sometimes.

CHUBBY CHUB!!

I'm a bear!

Now I lay me down to sleep...

Much needed update... haha!

So. Not a whole lot has been going on. Last Friday I had an interview, and it went well. What I would be doing if I got the position would be talking to people who own timeshares and taking care of whatever problems they might have, and making reservations and whatnot. It'd be high stress (think people calling and swearing at you because something isn't right). But it would be a challenge and would be fun.

Then Friday night Shaun and his buddy Dan from work went up to Duluth to go skiing. Andrea came over and since it was so late we just went to Chevy's and had a drink. She swore the bartender was hitting on me (I didn't think so). Then when we went to leave the Mexican man that was sitting behind me asked if we were leaving, and I said yes and that he could have my chair if he wanted it. Then he said something to the effect of, 'you want to leave with me?' And I said, 'No. I'm leaving with her.' Weiiird.

Saturday I left to bring the kittens up north so that they could go in to the Vet's on Monday. They got their last shot and spayed and whatnot Monday. Sat night my dad, mom and I went to town to have a drink and dinner. Tyler met us, and Shaun got dropped off just as we got there. Dan was pulling out just as we were pulling in. So we had a couple of drinks at the Firehouse, then we went to Tobie's to have dinner. It was good, if a little greasy.

Shaun and I came home Sunday after Jennifer came and visited us. Since the kitties stayed overnight at the Vet's, I didn't go back up until Tues morning, and I spent the night. Brought the kitties back home. They seem to be doing very well, they're jumping up and down off of everything.

Went swimming this morning. It was embarassing on my walk back. My sweatpants were soaked in a way that it looked like I had had an... accident. And a few people were walking behing me. Embarassing.

Anyway, I have another interview at Kelly Services in Bloomington. It's a 15 minute drive from here. Probably would be less if I didn't get stuck behind the granny that drives 45 miles per hour and apparently doesn't grasp the fact that you have to merge on an on ramp. Oh, well. But that position is for a Staffing Specialist. What I would be doing is interviewing people who want to be placed in positions to see what they would be best at. It would be fun.

All I know is is that I need a job and a life again.

Hilarity

I ran across this pic today... cracked me up. :D
