2005...RIP

This year proved to be jam-packed with tons-o-crap, and great times:

In no specific order:

I met my baby, Duane, met some now great friends (Steve, Chris & Kendra) from the Air Force Connection, went to the Air Force Academy graduation, had wisdom teeth ripped from my skull, got a raise, did Sweet Charity, my mom was in the hospital, my dad was in the hospital, quit my job, got a new job, I moved out of my crappy ass apartment, moved back in with the rents, had new headshots taken, moved in with Duane, had a car accident, saw Matisyahu in concert twice, went to the Social D concert, went to the Papa Roach concert, lost weight, gained that shit back, went to NYC, went to the Lower East Side of Manhattan for my birthday, got hooked on Dane Cook, took holiday in Aspen/Snowmass, got sick as a dog, and saw RENT on broadway from the first row.

Loved it.

Here's to 2006. Here's what I'm expecting *ahem*: Engagement, magazine in which I am featured comes out, back to school, voiceover classes, theatre, Euro Trip, weight loss (this time, permanent!), and great health for my family and those around me.

YAY!

My dad's b-day is on the first, so I am going to get him some gourmet knives. HENCKEL-GASM! Duane and myself are heading to Eden for New Year celebrations, and we plan to have a wicked time.

Transitions

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KYLE!~

It has hit me that I am almost done with this temp stint here in el Sprangs. I have Pippin auditions two weeks from today. AGHHHH! I am supposed to start school on the 16th, but if I get a part (paid role), then I will be in Arvada from 1-10p during the week, everyday. Its going to have to be quite the balancing act if I get this gig. *SIGH* But what a gig, am I right?

The magazine has it's soft opening in two weeks. I have an entire page feature as a new model! YAY! I am so excited! WOOT!

Supposed to get off at 1:30 today, but that is so not happening. I can hope for an early release, however. We'll see.

Started back on the treadmill last night. Two words for you people: oy vey.

Falling in love has been the best thing to happen to me, but my bum has increased in size in the past few months. NOT KOSHER. We need to fix this. :)

Anywho...back to el grind.

Matisyahu is coming back to Denver!
2/28/06
Paramount Theatre



Getting out

Horrible dream last night that jolted me awake in tears. I had to call my mom at 1am because it disturbed me that much.

RANDOM: Colorado Springs is really not my cup of tea, I'm afraid. I'd so much more like to be living in Chicago.

They are having Pippin auditions in Westminster. If I drove from here, it would be around a 2 hour commute. OY. I also have an audition for this art/theatre company next weekend here in the Springs. I have no idea what to read for this audition. Meh. We'll see.

I'm in a horrible mood this morning because of last night's little adventures and this morning's drama.

This day needs to LEAVE.

I feel like I am missing something...in a proverbial sense.

Come and get it

Mom went thru hell to try to get back from CA with the 'crew.' Not cool.

We went up to Parker last night to take out Zohar and stop by 'el Meadows' for holiday giftage.

Duane's titanium money clip came in, so I had to give it to him. He really didn't want a gift before Christmas, but I couldn't wait any longer. :)

*signs coffee guy receipt*

When we got back home, he gave me a gift to open, as well. And what is it? VERA WANG!!! YAAAAAY! I have been dying to have that fragrance for two months now. It is finally all mine. :)

Woot.

I wish it was Friday.

Just ordered my mom's Hanukkah present...should be delivered by mid next weekage.

The modeling gig is ON. I believe I will be featured in the summer or spring issue. I'll post when it comes out.

Duane put up the tree last night, and I gotta admit that it looks awesome. I haven't had a tree in my house since the wee, wee years. Very cool.

SO.TIRED.

Anywho...gotta get back to el grindage.

LOCK it away

How I love my INGDirect savings account. I would highly recommend the ASP or direct deposit, people. It also requires some effort to take your money out (i.e. no ING ATM's chillaxin anywhere, thanks to the fact that it is strictly an online bank). The yearly rate is at 3.5%, I believe. You can also name your savings account, i.e. "Vacation to Paris," or "Touch or Die," etc. The best saving method in my book is saving without even knowing you're doing it.

LAST DAY OF WORK. WOOOO! Jen took me out to coffee this am, and Lori took me to lunch in the 'P.' I have to wrap up some travel arrangements, optimize some filing, and then it is HASTA la VISTA.

The day is actually going by fairly slowly. Ugh.

My nails look hideous. Where is BIG TINA when you need her? I left my Israeli ring at the nail place 2 weeks ago, and I have yet to call and retrieve it. I believe I am putting Big Tina through a test of customer loyalty. If she still haves my ring at her station, I will never see another manicurist. She shall officially be a part of my entourage/retinue. I am tempted to rock white-tipped acrylics because polish lasts for 3 days...watch out Big Tina, for here I come.

DAMAGED

Here I spend the last few minutes of work laboring over the google search:
Charlize Theron: long layers "brown hair."

Yes, people. It is haircut time. I believe I'm going a few shades darker in color...we shall see.

My boyfriend = awesome. I cannot say this enough.

Schmoozed with fellow Goddess, Allison this afternoon. I returned the Mocha Frappe (more like Mocha CRAP) this afternoon that the scooter people had the nerve to give me. I actually don't remember the name of the cafe...which says something about the product. I believe I am just bred to love Starbuck's...and I was punished for my infidelity to the Empire.

Lunched with Madre this afternoon...those people in the clinic have some major staffing issues, and it is greatly affecting the work environment/stress level, etc.

It has yet to sink in that tomorrow is my last day here. Exit interview today. UNeventful.

SMOOTHIE = UNACCEPTABLE BEVERAGE FOR MEETINGS?

Allison tidbit: "They have a CRAFT CIRCLE." *insert ramblings from scooter chick*

The GREAT PURGE continues tonight, and it is with much enthusiasm that I will throw more crap out of my life into the BIN of the past that lingers...not much unlike the not-so-pleasant aroma of the office baƱo.

Recognize.

I need to organize el photographs de Andrea. I need to find a solid week that I can sit down and go through everything, categorizing...the pre-op for scrapbooking. Yes, I said scrapbooking.

Outs.

People Search

Don't even pretend to know me.

Twix = brunch?

I start my new job this week, and hence hurled from the stank trap of a womb in which I am struggling to break free from.

Duane inspired me to take an IQ test, and I only scored a 124. Meh. They further classified me as a 'Visual Mathematician.' What the eff?

Tonight it begins. I am purging my living quarters in the current residence...oh yes, there will be pain. I plan on dumping most everything, recently motivated by:

1. The fact that I start my new life/job in the Springs as soon as THIS THURSDAY.
2. I watched a block of Clean Sweep on TLC and was MEGA MEGA inspired. There will be NO MERCY!

Turns out Kendra is working in the law office directly across the street from my building. Let there be yoga on lunch hours, and galavanting on Tejon! Wheeeeeee!

My nails - hideous. Weekly manicures can be a bit weighty on the 'ol pocketbook, therefore I am left to my own devices.

The US Postal Service is ticking me off: since my mail forwarding this summer, I haven't received ANY of my mail. I am missing my re-issued credit card and new driver's license. I can just imagine how the shit is going to hit the fan when my mail forwarding to the Springs takes effect.

I never believed it would happen, but it did indeed: I like a Lindsay Lohan song. Have you SEEN the 'Confessions of a Broken Heart' (Daughter to Father) video? I was getting ready to go out lunching with the aforementioned Kendra when it came on the tube. It brought me to TEARS, people. I am so snagging it on iTunes tonight as I am de-junking.

Anywho, I'm outs for the afternoon. I have some de-junking to do here in the office before my last day (WED! YAY!)-

Tuesday, November 22, 2005

Call the Colorado School of Dental Assisting! START YOUR CAREER TODAY!

Or not.

My hygenist is 43, weighs MAYBE 105 pounds, and wears gold, tassled cowboy boots with boot-cut jeans.

We LOVE hah.

So since el job is over with next week, I am getting MOST antzy. I find myself trying to sit in my office, pretending to work. I actually have everything done, unfortunately, so I have to pace myself with everything else when it comes my way. OR.ELSE.I.GO.CRAZY.

Bored.

I can't get out of the szechuan.

I doubt I spelled that correctly. MEH.

Vagina Monologue auditions next weekend.

Sweet Jodi.

One down...ANDREA GETS HER NAILS DID

This weekend went by entirely too freakin fast. Eli's b-day bash last night...CHICKEN WANG, YA'LL!! Stomped around G-Dad's new propertay, which looks great. He has the best view of Pike's Peak. Purchased scrapbooking supplies with Duane-age.

It is entirely worthless to get my nails done, I have decided. Within a matter of TWO days, my nail polish starts to crack. WTF? Also--left my Isreali coconut ring at Big Tina's table. Not cool. Hopefully she snagged it before anyone else did.

I can't wait to move down to the Springs...I'll be done with el Denver job on the 30th.

GIVE TANKS!

This time, last year, I was rockin the Ville. This year we're havin a huge hubaloo at the rent's place. I am in charge of el royal green bean casserole.

Duane: "You COOK?!"

News (INSERT)

Happy Birthday, ELI!

Friday. At last, at last, biotches! I haven't updated in a good long while...but since
A.) I lack any and all motivation to work, and
B.) Blogger is magically unblocked from surf control (woohoo)

I am LETTIN loose.

I'll start off with the big news: we're a go-for-launch on the move down to the Springs with Duane. I have a job down there--temp until school starts in January. I put in my notice here in Denver on Wednesday. Adios, los trollios!

Also--Duane and I have been looking at engagement rings for the past few weeks, so its happening, people.

Whilst I'm down in the Pike-age Peak ZONE, I'm finishing school (FINALLY).

RENT is finally coming out next week! WOO-freakin-HOO! When we were in NY in October, Duane won us front-row tickets on the opening day of RENT after the temporary closing of the Nederland.

You do read pinkisthenewblog, right?

Finally finished up Jarhead last night...Anthony Swofford = YAY. I can't wait to read his next novel. I bought another military-themed narrative of WWII called If You Survive, about the landing/slaughter at Normandy. Oddly enough, we met this marine last night at Heidi's who's grandfather did aerial photographing/recon for the landing at Normandy. GET OUT, right?

Right.

Finally serviced el Jeepage last night...DEVASTATINGLY overdue. Next job in queue is the big pack-up down in Parker for el relocaTION. I'll be most satisfied when everything is taken care of...things are no longer slipping out of my control.

Ortho-evra - THE DEVIL.

My rep from C.E. took me coffee-ing yesterday...WOULD YOU LIKE some COFFEE WITH YOUR FOAM? What the eff?

I now have glasses, which is odd. It is ridiculous how my entire 'driving experience' has improved.

As far as Denver is concerned...

I am greatly looking forward to heading south for a while. An hour and a half commute each way was seriously taking it's toll.

This weekend : album-gasm. Salsa? Perhaps. ADDRESS CHANGE.

Fire.retardant.

Salsa Saturday

The alarm clock on my cell is going off upstairs, and I have no intention of turning it off. I think it went off for a solid 2 minutes.

Felt like absolute shiite last night, no thanks to my current ailment that would make a Walgreen's pharm tech blush when handing you over your presrip.

Today and tomorrow = employee discount at LB. YAY FAT GIRLS ON THE LOOSE! I can't print out the coupon, tho. BLAH. They are most likely trying to get rid of their out of season shit. I need some more pants, tho. I might checketh this out.

Lunch with el mighty Kendra hoy.

Today is going to be better.

Monday, November 07, 2005

Alive...kind of

News:

1. Frye boots? YES
2. Jarhead= SEE IT
3. Aspen this weekend = glorious, sans chapped ass
4. Moving to Colorado Springs? Perhaps
5. Evansville + Newburgh + Tornado = WTF?

Please Hate Me

Finally somewhat into my new position at work...which has been overall a 24% raise since last year. Money + benefits = yay. Good things. ENJOY.

Duane and moi are flying to NYC on Wednesday morn. IT.SHALL.BE.GLORIOUS. Meeting el fam. Partial fam. Vaykay ALERT. Let the shopping begin.

Its also my birthday on Friday. We're eating somewhere on the lower east side. YUM*MAY.

Haven't decided whether to see Rent or Wicked while we're there.

DOLLAR THEATRE?

Vera Wang? I just NEED that scent.

"THREE TONGUE PIERCINGS."

Shabbat @ Red Rocks on Friday. REBIRTH.

I feel G-d in this Chilis tonight.

Tuesday

I've been busy.

Going to NYC next week.

The world needs straight shooters like you.

Lord of War - highly enjoyable.

Wednesday, September 07, 2005

Mr. Curiosity

Wow. It really hit me today how much I hate my job. Not cool. I seriously came home tonight and crashed with force.

This craptastic laptop is no match for my multi-tasking prowess.

Drove to Evergreen today to scope out the golf course I chose for an intake lokay. I am satisfied with my choice.

Jason Mraz album purchase this weekend--Mr. A-Z. Highly enjoyable.

'When the darkness falls under your hair, I will be there..."

Yep.

An obsession with BBQ-

CRAIGSLIST = ENTERTAINMENT.

Presentation on Friday. I'm going to be up late tonight. UGH. I could also just rock it full-force tomorrow at lunch, no problemos.

TICKETS.

B4L starts this weekend. Let us all brace our buttocks.

Wednesday, August 31, 2005

Does that sweater come in a V-NECK?

Caps lock once again slays thousands...

Is it Friday yet?

NYC in September. Hoo*RAH.

Forcing sleep this week.

Was going to take the Vette out for a cruise this evening, but the battery = kaput. It is SO on tomorrow. EXPECT this.

Traffic = annoyance.

Ames people pop up EVERYWHERE.

Absolutely scorching.

Wednesday is drawing nigh. Golf retreat = squared away. KENNEDY RIDGE = NO THANKS. Not even hungry...custard? OBESSIONS with GRAPE JUICE. The Jeep will never empty. ASIATIC. Nick's piano = now in good hands. Andrea's iPod earphones = MIA. Send help.

Fictional Heroes

So another week has indeed commenced. Release the hounds.

Work is gnawing at my soul.

Hallie was put to sleep this AM. CONNECTION.

I've had a monstrous headache since 11am that nothing seems to touch, med-wise. I believe I am bothered.

Nicole's excitement = sincere. This depresses me, for I know the truth...

Updated el iPod. I grow weary of the case, however...upgrade time.

The loft @ Lowry isn't going to happen for a small army of reasons. I knew this weeks ago...I had a skosh of an awkward feeling about the entire situation that I should have examined a bit further before signing a deposit check. These people know how to work me. Ah yes. Cross off LESSON LEARNED under the "How To Be a Gullible Douche Bag" list. End of story.

So many things I have hanging in the balance. I need to do some proverbial housecleaning, i.e. eye exam, doc visit, headshot duplication, cleaning out the memory cards, de-fragging the laptop, etc. Why is it that we let ourselves slip off of the priority 'to do?'

DECOMPRESSION:
1.) Chasing Zoey around with a wooden backscratcher for a half hour. Delicious.
2.) Watching my mom almost set the kitchen on fire tonight. How often does one get to use a fire extinguisher? Not enough, I say.

Kyle, you need to get voicemail set up on your shit ASAP.

Manicure Results: My right hand looks shitty, but its going to do. EGG SHELL.

Minimum: 400 tc sheets.

Eyebrow work this weekend. *hammer*

Derka.

Let's not VISIT that, mmmkay?

Work was better today. Kevin from GL extended my deposit limbo, so WOO for that guy. Hoorah fitted gray shirts. I clearly don't want the Lincoln lofts now.

Something is holding me back on GL for some reason...I'm not too sure what it is. Cold feet? Fear of committment? Meh. I'm actually really excited, but some kind of fog has been over my head for the past two weeks. I unfortunately can't put my finger on the issue. Maybe its restlessness. This would be how I roll.

Tanner! Where the HELL are you?

Ikea in September. *shiver*

Just DON'T take it personally.

I prefer the pesto.

I've had to pee for 2 hours. I should take care of this.

Chris is flying Cesnas in a month. Me = jealous.

Met el aunt today for the exchange of goods and other assorted things at LAS DELICIAS. WTF?!
She gave me their Marine-issue 1950s-era photo enlarger and goodies. I am loving this.

BED.
