Ween

I am going to my first concert at Red Rocks tonight. The band's name is Ween. I don't really know the music but I'm going with some cool people so it should be a good time. I'll write tomorrow about the night...I'm 3 beers in and feeling good about it right now. :-)

Update: Many beers later the Ween concert came and went. I don't remember much of the concert as I was pretty smashed! It's great to know that at 25, I think I finally know my drinking limits though (on most occasions anyways). All in all, I'd say I had a pretty great time. Good company - consisted of the bf, our friends - Megan(TSA), Mike, Elza and John. Decent music...though there was this one weird part where the singer from the Flaming Lips was in a bubble and a bunch of dudes dressed as Santa Claus and some girls dressed as elves were carrying the guy in the bubble around the stage...very strange. If I were on hallucinogenics the concert would have been very extreme and entertaining, that's for sure!

Friday meetings

Who in the hell schedules a meeting on a Friday afternoon at 4pm??? LOSERS - or people that work in advertising. They all suck and I'm sick of them! I want to be able to sit at my computer and blog about how stupid they are for the last hour of my work week, not attend another pointless Sniagrab proof where nothing is different from the last one we saw! ARGH!!!

Okay, I feel a little better...I'm off to my pointless meeting...damn Sniagrab and everything related to it!

Computer Spaz

So tonight after work, Jer and I went to a bar called Dewey's for Kirsten's going away party. She is moving back to Cali, Santa Barbara I think she said. I know Kirstin from TSA - a receptionist friend. It was a good enough time, but I have been feeling pretty crappy lately and just haven't been in the mood to whoop it up. It sucks because summer is my favorite time to bbq and have fun! Instead I am stuck with a horrible cough and I refuse to go to the doctor at this point - I hate medicine unless it's a flavorless pill (despise vitamins cause they taste like shite!) I probably should go to the doctor...

When we got home tonight I got on the computer and found that all of my shortcuts had been deleted from the desk top. I freaked out a little bit..."where did all my stuff go???" Then I remembered that Jer was messing around on it the night before last - he deleted all my short cuts! It's now been about 20 minutes since then and I find myself sitting here, wondering why it's such a big deal...I think I'll chalk this one up to hormones...

Reasons why Mondays SUCK:

1. The weekend is over
2. The alarm always goes off way too early
3. Work - but work sucks in general
4. 5 days to get through until the next weekend
5. My puppy dog, Kona, has to stay in her kennel all day
6. I have to put on nice clothes and make-up vs. comfy shorts, t-shirts and no make-up
7. My favorite gossip blogs don't have any new dirt for me to read (I'm ridiculously interested in celebrities and their dirt...I get it from my granny, I'm convinced of it!)
8. I usually have to eat leftovers from Sunday dinner for lunch and I HATE leftovers

More to come later...suggestions always welcome!

Mondays

Don't you hate it when it's about 7 or 8pm on a Sunday night and the reality of "tomorrow's Monday" slaps you in the face!? Well, I do, and that's exactly what happened to me yesterday. I had a very long-short weekend, if that makes any sense.

My younger sister, Niki, was in town from Rapid City, SD on Saturday. She came down with some girlfriends that were going to the O.A.R. concert. She and one of her friends, Natalie, decided not to go as they didn't know the band very well and didn't have the cash to spend on a ticket. So, Jeremy (my long-term boytoy) and I cruised downtown to meet up with them for some drinks. Our friends, Kahlan and Mike, also met up with us - on a side note, they would be perfect together but there are circumstances that keep them apart :-( So, we ended up closing down the bar - I haven't done that in quite some time, but they're 21 so they probably do it every weekend! Isn't it sad to realize how old you're getting! Anyways, we ended up cruising back home and passing out around 3:30am...a late night for me!

Yesterday I woke up way too early, but the sis was up so we hung out in my living room and watched pointless shows on MTV while our mushy brains tried to suck in some oxygen and start functioning. We went to lunch at Panera - a favorite when I'm hungover - and took them to meet up with their other girlfriends so they could head back to SoDak. I love hanging out with my family but I get so damn lonesome when they leave!

Yesterday was also the 8-year anniversary of dating Jer. I can't believe we have been together for that long already! He is awesome, so the years have flown by...though I will admit these last couple years as just boyfriend/girlfriend have been difficult. Only because every freaking person I know is getting engaged and married...and now their starting to have kids! I'm still working on the getting engaged part! And while I realize that I am lucky to have found a great person, I am frustrated with how slow he is being at making it permanent...what's a girl to do other than wait or give an ultimatum? Personally I find ultimatums stupid and silly and I love this guy and think it would be dumb of me to throw it all away just because he hasn't put a ring on my finger...but when do I draw the line? Any advice on this matter is always appreciated.

Anyways, so we were supposed to go to dinner, but we ended up taking a 3 hour nap and didn't want to do much after that. We settled for home-made chicken noodle soup instead. All-in-all, I'd say it was a pretty good weekend...but damn Monday sucks! More specific reasons for Monday sucking will follow maybe this afternoon or tomorrow...

I'm finally a virgin!

Well, this is my first time writing a blog and I hope you will take it easy on me...my friend from work, Liz, has inspired me to start writing. Over the past few days I have been reading her blogs and I have learned a great deal about Liz, most of which I never knew before. I wish I had taken more time when we first met to get to know her. Nevertheless, we have started bonding and every day I find something else out about her, all intriguing and interesting on many levels.

So, what to write about...the list is endless and the hard part is figuring out where to start. Liz says that I just need to free-write and the more I do it, the easier it will all get. I haven't actually written anything for pleasure in years! I haven't written anything for non-pleasure since I graduated from college in 2004. I think it's time to start putting things in writing so that I have something to pass on to my family and friends, as well as future children!
