Hi everyone. I'm so sorry that I missed August completely. I was starting to become OK with a once a month blog thing, but can't believe I haven't posted in so long. Now my archives are gonna have a big gap and life will be over. |

It's about that time for my monthly blog. |

So it's been a little while. I'm sorry. The only reason I still blog after all these years is because I've been doing it for a decade; why stop now? |

Happy Belated Mothers' Day! Despite my desire to give my house a much-needed, thorough cleaning, I decided to head down to San Diego after the cancer walk to hang out with my mom (and dad and brother). I think it was a good choice, but I'll get into that later on. |

The home renovation project and I weren't on speaking terms for a couple of weeks, but we kissed and made up and are back into a happy and healthy relationship. The project took three times as long as I anticipated, but that's only because I've had so much going on that I haven't had enough weekend time to dedicate to it. I finished painting the walls in both rooms, and now all that's left is repainting the trim and doors. The floors are going in this weekend, hopefully. I have all the flooring material already, so I should be able to start right away on Friday night. When all is said and done, I'll be tired and sore, but will be proud that I was able to pull of a project like this without hiring professional help. Unless I FUBAR it. Then I'll be kicking myself and will never live it down. I must then /myself. |

My regular readers know that I do most of my thinking while I'm driving or on the shitter. This evening, while on the porcelain throne, I started to think about my relationship with... well, relationships. It seems like it has been so long since I have been in a solid, steady, exclusive relationship. I'm not sure I remember what it feels like. On the other hand, I'm not sure I want to have that feeling again in the near future. Sometimes I get a little lonely and want companionship from that one person who makes me feel those damn butterflies, but the moment I start actually thinking about it happening, I get a knot in my tummy and want to run the other way. |

Construction has officially begun on the bedroom and office. The most annoying part of this whole ordeal will be hiring someone to haul the old carpet and other such trash away. But I'm not letting that get to me; I'm quite happy to be getting down and dirty with my hand tools and paint brush. I haven't bought any flooring yet since I decided to use this weekend to prep the rooms first. My brother came up from San Diego to help me since my sister is a useless weakling. By the end of the weekend I hope to have removed all carpet and insulation and primed both rooms. I decided I'm going to splurge and get some plantation shutters for the windows. This will kill two birds with one stone- adequate light filtering and a "finished" look since the shutters will provide a trim around the opening. Fuckin' sweet. |

I stayed home from work today, and like always, I felt shitty about it. I don't know why; everyone in my company busts their asses for the organization. We should all be able to take a day off once in a while without feeling like the corporation is going to meet its demise. Maybe it's because ever since childhood, my mom has instilled in me the philosophy that if I can walk and breathe, I can go to work (school). Yep... being absent from school? Are you kidding me? I'd have to be on my death bed. The difference now is that I don't have to ask anyone permission to call in sick, but the consequences are far greater. |

Today, I watched two movies that are on the opposite sides of the genre spectrum. The first one was Jackass 2. I used to watch the TV show way in the beginning, when it wasn't so gross/dangerous. By the time the first movie came out, I was not interested in voluntarily subjecting myself to such idiocy. I ended up renting Jackass 2 from Blockbuster Online on accident. I watched it anyway, and boy am I glad I did. I do not remember the last time I laughed this hard. I had tears in my eyes, and my laughs were so hardcore that I could hardly breathe. It didn't sound like laughing anymore; I sounded like a fat kid choking on a soda bottle cap whilst being tickled under the armpits. There were many cringe worthy moments and a few skits I had to skip through, but the rest of the movie was just plain awesome. I have a feeling it won't be as funny a second time around though. |

All I hear is raindrops... falling on the rooftop. Ooh baby tell me why'd you have to go? Cuz this pain I feel, it won't go away. And today, I'm officially missin' you. |

| So much to say, so little energy. |
Ladies and gentleman, I am happy to announce that I am now less one roommate. Although it definitely could have ended on a brighter note, I'm sure all parties involved will be much happier now. It wasn't necessarily HER that was an annoyance, it was the third roommate factor. Three girls just cannot live together I guess. Now it's just me and my sister; my house is big enough so I don't even have to ever see her if I didn't want to. The third bedroom is going to be my office, but before I move my stuff in there, I have some renovating to do. I'm getting quotes to rip out the carpet and put in hardwood (the carpet is this weird light green color; will not match with my new paint scheme). I'm going to paint both my room and the office new colors, replace the baseboards and add moulding around the windows. |

American Idol must REALLY be bad this year for me to have no desire to watch it. I did DVR all the episodes, but have found myself fast forwarding through 2/3 of each one. Nobody, absolutely nobody, is a standout. It is the battle of the mediocres. That's good I guess, now I don't have to karate chop people who make fun of me for watching the show. |

A couple weekends ago, I was lucky enough to see WICKED at the Pantages. This was my first time seeing any musical that I hadn't already memorized the soundtrack to. I only vaguely knew one song before watching it. Now that I've played the soundtrack about 79 times, I'm ready to watch it again. Maybe at the end of the year when it comes back to LA. You all know how much I love my musicals, so of course I like this crap, but I urge you to throw a little bit of culture in your lives and watch at least one musical in your lifetime. |

| Longest. Week. Ever. |
So much for a quick four day week. Friday seemed like it was never going to arrive. It's here! It's here! And it is going to be a mighty fine weekend. My dear friend Ryan is finally getting hitched tomorrow. We lovingly refer to him as K-Fed, because he plans on being a stay-at-home dad. We're only partly kidding. I don't have a dress to wear for the festivities, but I'm sure I can dig something up. I love getting all prettied up! Makes me feel like a female...lol. |
