Tom and I

Better, hun? XD I'm posting this picture of my boyfriend Tom and I because he's been giving me crap about it. I still love him though, he's the best!

Randomness

So this is me, the most recent picture of me at least, at my work station (which becomes cluttered as all hell when i get there, and this pic was taken shortly after arrival today). I got my hair chopped, so its UBER short and a lot easier to mannage for the upcoming spring/summer months. Now, if only I could cure the cowlick....

Anywyay, thought I'd update my blog a bit as the phones are not ringing (I get a total of maybe a call an hour, and thats if its super busy on weekends) and I have nothing better to do. I updated some of my previous posts with the promised pics, as well.

Me with longer, more unruly hair, wearing the only green bay packer thing i had- A pom pom headband I made! Yes, i did geek out when the packers won, but like I said, I was still poor at that time.

And last but not least, a crocheted item! A Sansa Fuze cozy I made because I was sick of the damn thing getting all scratched up all the time, and because I lost the other one -.- Anyway, I made this using Red heart Sock yarn in 2 different colors. If anyone wants the pattern, let me know, and I can write it up. Its fairly simple. The heart was made using Red Heart's free 'heart' pattern.

I NEED MORE ROCKSTAR!!!!

(his two best friends geeking out about some game on the flatscreen while he burries himself in the corner with the 3DS, thats his hand in the whiteish blur)

So i'm here with my amazing boyfriend Tom for the weekend. he kidnapped me shortly after I got done with work Friday night, and whisked me away to his home in the teeny tiny town of Rome, WI. Unincorperated, but with a rad firedepartment (I only say that because he works for the firedepartment, not because I'm biased twards his or anything :P) I'm going to be here for the WHOLE weekend (well, at least another 2 ish days, since its already Sunday) and I'm so excited. I love spending time with him, his cat and his roomie's ferrets (yep, ferrets. They are so cute!) and i'm not looking forward to leaving to go back to work. Not because I dont like my job, but because i dont like leaving him. we get to see eachother roughly every 2 weeks, and while it is nice its also very painful on my part to leave. i feel like i belong here. partally because when i'm here his kitchen actually gets used and the house kinda sorta gets cleaned, and partally because i know it'll be another 2 weeks before i see him again. he makes me feel wanted and loved.

(the 3DS my wounderfuly awesome boyfriend gave me because he is awesome and I love him!)

But before i get super super mushy, I should move on to the next topic. The reason why he kidnapped me this weekend is because last night at midnight it was the premiere release of the 3DS. And of course, he got me one, even though I told him it was WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. But doe he listen to me? No! *sigh* What's a girl to do? Take it in stride of course! He got me a game called Monkey Balls and its basically a ripoff of Mario cart and super smash brothers combined. Its also multiplayer, which is why he got it. Its pretty fun, I only played a couple of rounds with his friend before I decided that 3am was my limit. I don't remember what time he came to bed, but I know it must have been late because I woke up at 10:45am and he still wasn't conscious.

If you have any questions please dont hesitate to contact me.

Ok, first of all, people are just wierd. Did you know that when you type in 'anime girl with glasses' into Google half the shit you get is Hentai? Nope, I didn't either, and now I have coworkers going 'Uhhh....'

Anyway, I got new glasses today. Yey me, I can actually see the world through non-fucked up lenses! The computer screan seems 10X brighter, people are no longer fuzzy around the edges, and the dog has not had a chance to chew on them! The only thing is I have a slight headache now because it was such a derastic change from the old ones, but I think I look ten times better. Now only if I was not sick...

And now is the time I do my first product review! Well, I think. I just wanna mention Mucinex DM for its awesomeness at making my life so much easier. I mean, I'm still sick, but at least my lungs stay in place while I'm at work or sleeping. Which seems to be the only two things I do anymore. But anyway. Yes, Mucinex DM. Try it if you can, because it is amazing.

What else can I randomly ramble about? Hmm... Well as you can probably tell I'm trying to remodel the blog, again, with little sucess. I'm trying to find something thats cool, edgy, yet sophistocated, and something that handles 3 columns. If my friend who does awesome HTML work would EVER answer my messages, i'd have her design it. As it were, I think I might just take some classes in HTML so that I can do it myself. Who knows? It may come in handy later on.

So, in conclusion, Google is perverted, and Mucinex saved my life. XD

I HATE Being Sick...

Ugh... I think you guys know what I'm talking about...that Achy/sweaty/hot/cold/stuffy/crappy/just-let-me-crawl-into-a-whole-and-die type cold? Thats what I got...

'*sniffles* Thank you for calling Abby Vans, how can I help you?'

'Uhh...'

Almost all of the customers that I have talked to tonight have had that responce, either that or:

'Oh, are you sick?'

Well bust my bubble ya think?!? '-.-
