friend in icu was better today. lungs sound better and drugs might be working.

I had my second interview which was really short. two questions and one didn’t count. I didn’t have any for her. five minutes tops. hopefully I’ll find out the final decison soon. this whole waiting crap is killer.

had to drop otherj’s car at the mechanic again. stupid break lights. so I’m at work early with nothing to do for 20 minutes. ok only 10 left but still. waiting games suck.

Week to date

Standard

this week I applied for a promotion with the company I work for. they asked me a total of three questions. why so little?I answered most of the questions they were going to ask in my answer to their first question. one of the interviewers was scrambling to think of more to ask. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
* I started this post on Wednesday. Since then I learned that the above was a good thing and the interview went well and that I have a second interview on monday at 11am.

this week a good friend went to the hospital with pneumonia. he’s in icu on breathing and feeding tubes. antibiotics are not helping. his body is not fighting off the infection. they have a doctor that works with infectious deseases working with him now and have moved him into a negative preasure room on case he is contagious. they may do a lung biopsy next week and are waiting on tb tests. at least they are planning on him having a next week

right now we’re pony sitting for my aunt. went to the state history museum today and may head into town tomorrow to check things out before we head home. I hope that next weekend we can have a lazy day at home with no running around. at least one of the days. we should also clean house soon. maybe next weekend.

i hate when that happens

Standard

the other day i was listening to my shuffle, there was a song that i listened to twice that i really liked and wanted to remember, but now i don’t. I’m fairly certain it was music that otherj had put on there before i went to mexico a couple years ago. I know we’ve listened to it over and over again, so its not like its new, but i dont remember to name, or the words, or even who it sounds like… now i’m going through all the music that i know is on my shuffle and trying to figure out what it was. theres only a handful of bands it could be really. but nothing sounds like the right song.

It seems like everyone is getting married, engaged or having babies. V said thats just what people do. Thats probably right. Its getting to be beyond a quarter century that we’ve been alive so I guess its a natural thing that people are getting married and reproducing. I’m not sure if i’m supposed to be jealous, anxious, or just grateful when it does happen for me that i’ll have an idea of how i want things to go from watching everyone else have to deal with it.

today i’m laying low at home while otherJ hangs out with George. I’m ok with this, cause i really do not feel like moving much farther than this couch. Tomorrow we’ll go take pictures and get my bridesmaid dress for Kris’ wedding.

Sick day

Standard

I Hate you. You’re an idiot. “Rudd rolled his eyes and in a terse voice lacking any sense of irony remarked that is the “excuse” that “all” young women are using nowadays to avoid starting families.”

You too. You need to not use a computer anymore. “Instead of typing “facebook.com” into the address bar or using bookmarks, Daring Fireball’s John Gruber explains, they type the term (in this case, “facebook login”) into Google and click the first link on the page…”

If you couldn’t tell, I stayed home sick today. I think its food poisoning, can’t think of anything else it could be. So i’ve been roaming the interwebs, there are my findings.

8) yay for museums and quality time.
9) life is good.

Weddings

Standard

Since Kris is getting married in May I’ve been living vicariously through her, looking through all the little things to help her with ideas when she was just starting to figure out the theme-y type things. It has ruined me. I’m highly infatuated with a the little bits. Party favors… really… all sorts of insanity to be had there and invitations… Its all highly ridiculous.

I cannot imagine what she’s going through right now planning such a big event for so many people. I would just give up; go hide in a closet somewhere and make him do it. I have learned, the smaller the better, and everyone can wear jeans ;-D

Anywhere

Standard

We used to play the “anywhere but here” game at school to pass that time during class. I’ve played it via text at work to waste time.

Thing is now I like here. I’m really happy with here. But sometimes I like to play to kinda plan where I’d like to be if I had unlimited funds and time off work. So I think I need to change the name of the game. Any suggestions?

Here is my list of things off the top of my head: *Tahiti – (ok so part of it is cause i like saying the name) *Vermont – Something like that * Europe — specifically Austria or Italy .

wandering aimlessly in thought

Standard

there usually are coffee people and tea people, its kinda rare to find a coffee or tea person. (hot tea not ice tea) Mom is a coffee or tea person.

part of this summer’s tattoo has been sorta decided. Going between my hiking boots and their prints… While looking for ideas i found crappy tattoos, a few AT tattoos, one boot print that didn’t suck, but nothing worth showing… maybe a pair of boots with “not lost” under them…
