Okay, so, I'm married now.Wow.There are no words. I still don't think it's fully hit me. I keep having moments that I realize I'm married and I'm in awe but the rest of the time I'm still clueless, lol. We're in a honeymoon suite right now. I've gotten so used to dial-up that I've forgotten how nice a wireless, high speed connection is. Scott is reading a journal that I did for him right now so

Ok, so I've been trying to use MySpace as most of my friends are using it but I just keep having issues with it so I'm back to here after a four month hiatus.This is so much easier anyway, for me at least. Log-in, type and post...that's it. Not log-in, click through three screens to post and then hope that it posts then confirm the post and all that jazz.So anyway, I have lost exactly two pounds

Last night, Scott and I hung out with Kelly and Joe. What fun! We had dinner together and then hung out and their house and watched American Idol and House together and chatted all the way through. It was wonderful. Scott enjoys them just as much as I do, even though he's only been around them a few times now and I think Kelly and Joe like him just the same. Me? I'm a very happy girl. I don't

Can someone please tell me what all the fuss was about with the movie Capote? I mean...ugh. I wasn't even slightly impressed with the film. My opinion differs with the ability of Philip Seymour Hoffman to portray the character. I thought he was excellent. The movie in itself, however, did nothing for me and as wonderful as Hoffman was, he wouldn't be worth watching that again. Maybe I need to

HappySo, today has been fun so far. Especially for a work day. Most of you know that I am not a morning person...but after I finally got up this morning I've been in a rather bubbly mood. Maybe it's that I'm all decked out in green....even green eyeshadow. Perhaps that's my "perk me up" color. I think everyone has one. And even though it's only 40 degrees outside, I'm still loving my sleeveless

*sigh* I've given in. I was so against MySpace when it first came out...I thought it was pointless.And now...I've spent a few hours today creating my very own...space.Sheesh.I found that there are a lot of people that I went to high school with on there and I also thought it would be really fun to catch up with some of these people. So yeah.....like a moth to a flame.

This is an obligatory post b/c I really don't feel like saying anything right now. I have officially been sick for a week now and it sucks. Bleh. I started out with a sore throat last Wednesday evening due to sinus drainage, lovely I know. And it's just gotten worse...I'm not contagious as it's all sinus related but this is just terrible. I had to miss two days last week...went home a few hours

Ok...so life goes on. I'm still walking around with a goofy grin on my face and steal glances at my ring when I get a chance. What can I say? I'm delighted.I know the wedding isn't until November but at the rate of planning and excitement I've had...I think we'd be ready in two weeks. I have almost everything picked out and decided upon...we just need to get our guest list figured out and things

New template.It's been a long time coming...and I'm sure I won't be happy with it. I never am...that's why I keep editing html code and just redo it all the time, lol.There's a webpage I need to start on and I'm going through html again to just do it myself...although I may give in this time and just find something easy to do it with as I really don't have the hours and hours of time to spend on

I've looked at my blog all week thinking I need to post....and I just haven't. Man this week has been a blur. We've went somewhere almost every night this week...and we have an invitation tonight but I think we may just stay home and chill for a bit. Wow, now that I'm sitting here...I'm not sure what to post about. Scott and I have been talking a little more about marriage....well, I'm doing most

Mmmm, gotta love Friday the 13th!Lol. I am sooo tired today. I just can't get myself woken up. Scott and I went to to a therapy demonstration last night....let's just say that it was very um, interesting. It was right at midnight when we got home.

So this has been an interesting week, to say the least. Monday, Scott and I went to mom and dad's because Josh was in and we wanted to hang out with him. We all sat down to a game of Trivial Pursiut 20th anniversary edition and Scott, Josh and myself were well on our way to beating mom and dad. Then Brad and Zack came over and we called it quits and hung out with them for a while. Tuesday evening

I've actually spent a good deal of time the past two days journaling in my actual journal, and so now I have nothing to say really.I hadn't journaled since October 31...so if you thought I was slacking on here...I was give you more of me than I was myself, lol.Sunday Scott and I went to church with Kelly and her husband Joe.

Sheesh, Kelly's posts have this way of really making me want to curl up and sleep with sweet dreams for a while. Hehe. She has so much going on right now...it's exciting. I feel like I'm watching my little sister grow up. Except, she's not my sister and she's older than me...so even if she was, she wouldn't be my little sister. But anyway, that's how I feel, hehe.And it's so funny hearing her

Oh no, has it really been a week since I've posted?Sheesh, no wonder Kelly was reminding me to post.I have a good excuse this week though; I've been sick.I'm at the office now (aren't I always?) and giving Jackie her lunch.Scott threw a nice flat panel LCD monitor on her desk the other day and I'm loving it.

Boy oh boy have things been crazy.I've had a rough day today....I woke up late this morning, my omelette thing didn't work right and so I ended up throwing that away, the coffee thing I took (the smallest one we had) wouldn't fit in my cup holder, so I got stuck holding it while driving to work, I've splashed soup in my face.....it's just been one of those days.

Mmmmm.....sleep sounds sooo good right now. I had a lovely morning at the gym. I went Monday as well and am going again on Friday....so this is turning out wonderfully. After this week I'll be bringing it up to four days a week....possibly five if I feel like going to the pool on Mondays. We'll see.I have a ton fo work to do. We just had six people stop in for the oxygen bar so that was cool.

*sigh*It's been a bittersweet day. I have the day off and got off to a good start, woke up around 0700 this morning, cleaned the kitchen, cooked breakfast and got ready to go to the gym.After the gym, Scott had to run me home though because he had to stay at work instead of taking the day off like we had planned. He's having issues with a switch and T1's and all that jazz. Yesterday we went to a

So today has been interesting already.When I got out of bed this morning, Scott wasn't in the apartment.A few minutes later he came back in and told me to look outside. I was expecting to see snow or something. There was no snow. What I found, upon further inspection, was a car against Shannon's jeep. I threw on my robe over my gown and ran out there. Scott and Shannon were already out there and

Ah, I'm getting into a once weekly thing again.But at least once weekly is better than once monthly or once every two months, right? ;)So, things are interesting. This week is National Massage Awareness Week and so we're having some promotions at work.It's raning, however, which means we can't put out the balloons and the sidewalk sign. So how are we going to let the world know other than the

It seems that my social life has picked up again, at least a little bit.I can't remember not having a free weekend in a while now, not that that's a bad thing. Sunday, Scott and I went to Kelly and Joe's and hung out for a bit, had some pizza and then we all met Jamie and Shannon at The Funny Bone. Oh man. That was fun. The headliner there was a guy named John Morgan, The Ragin' Cajun. Wow. We

I had a really good glass of wine last night.Now, keep in mind I am in no way an wine expert, but I do enjoy a glass from time to time.Yesterday evening Scott and I stopped in a nearby shop called 'Showcase WV' in which all prodcuts are made by people here in WV. They had quite a selection of wine. I decided to try a blackberry wine because I had never heard of such a thing and it peaked my

Sitting at work...looking at client files that I know I need to do. *sigh*But I just don't feel like it right now. My brain doesn't want to work this early, even though I've been up for a few hours now. Heh.So, this weekend was interesting. Scott and I looked at open houses Sunday and apparently it was vintage day as the newest house was probably built in the 1950's. They were interesting to look

Hmmm, Halloween should be black and orange colors, right?Yeah, so, we'll see how this works.I finally got the pic up, yay.Scott and I went and looked at a townhouse this morning. Still undecided on it. We really liked it but the layout sucks for Tomo and he would locked up in the basement all day. So...it really looks doubtful. *sigh* This house hunt stuff really sucks. I mean....totally. It's so

Argh!I'm having issues today.The pic I posted yesterday didn't work. When I tried to fix it last night, Blogger was down. And today, it doesn't want to insert the image. Sheesh.I'll get it up eventually.

So, in the thought of Halloween, I post this pic.Remember how fun it was when you were a kid and you got all dressed up and went walking for hours begging for candy? And then you come home and dump all the candy out and mom and dad talk you out of some pieces and you trade candy and mmm...you just know you're headed to the dentist soon if you don't slow down. Lol.This is me and my brother ages

Happy Birthday to me!!I had the beginnings of a post earlier but I had to leave my office for a bit and my computer decided to restart itself. Lovely. I really didn't feel like coming into work today. Just because I felt like staying at home and enjoying today. It hasn't been so bad though. I've had one massage so far and I had a guy come in and do a tarot reading for me. That was interesting.

Free Chair Massage at the Healthy Life Market went well. I did a total of 11 chair massages and I had one more in the office on Saturday. So, in other words, I worked my butt off Saturday. lol.Saturday evening we left the office, went to the apt and packed and headed for New River. Chilled out with mom, dad and my brother and we all got up at 0530 Sunday morning....had breakfast and then headed

Ok....another post for the day...and an update.That pumpkin ice cream was sooooooo good. Oh my, it was heavenly. It tasted like a scoop of pumpkin pie in a sugar cone. Just wonderful. The texture and flavor and aroma. Mmmm.That being said, it was worth the points....I have started Weight Watchers.

Sometimes. :pI'm gonna take a break in a bit and walk to the nearby bookstore and get a hot chai...or to the icecream store next door and get a small pumpkin scoop sugar cone. Yum.

Wow. Just let me say that even though I complain a lot, I really do have a good life.And I think most people do. It' s just so much easier to complain about things than to truly appreciate what you have. I mean, I have the perfect boyfriend, my own business, an apartment, a car, a loving family and (even though I don't talk to them as much as I should) wonderful friends. I've been kind of

I am sooooo sleepy.And ready to go home.And eat sushi.And drink tea.And play World of Warcraft.And stay up late.And sleep in.And spend all day with Scott tomorrow.Because I haven't had alone time with him since he's been home really.And I've missed him.Yeah.That's my plan.

Happy Birthday Brad!!Brad is my step-grandfather and he truly is a wonderful person...and ever since the attack on 9/11, no one forgets his birthday. Isn't that a crappy way for people to remember your birthday? Man. Anyway, I just found out the other day when I was talking to him that he remembers his wedding anniversary in a similar way. He basically asked if I remembered when their anniversary

Every day I, or my receptionist Jackie, write a quote on the wall-size dry erase board we have in the merchandise room. I think, that if nothing else, I will post those on here daily. At least as I remember to do so. And by all means, if anyone has any suggested quotes, please let me know. I'm sure it won't be very long before we run out of new ones.So, that being said, here is today's quote:"

I have soooo enjoyed my day off today. I've slept on and off all day. Even though the business is closed today, I'm going in at 1600 to do a massage for mom. But that's not a problem. I'm listening to the new Train cd....that's what Scott won when he answered the trivia question on the radio, hehe. He hates it so I inherited it. lol.

Not really sure what I'm going to post about since nothing has really changed since yesterday.I only had one chair massage today and we had one purchase today.It rained all day long. Since it was raining, we couldn't put the sandwich board out like we did yesterday and so that kinda sucked. We don't have an open sign yet, so the only thing to let people know we were open was the "We're open, Free

What a day!I mean that in a good way and bad, but mostly good. We officially opened today. It took us a few days longer than expected due to some unforseen issues with insurance and some other things. I'm still a little frustrated because there are prodcuts not in that were supposed to be in last week and early this week. Argh!I did a total of seven chair massages today (I did them for free,

Tired. Sooo tired.Scott and I were at the office until a little after 2300 Saturday night. We got up at 0700 Sunday morning, headed back into the office and were here until a little after midnight last night. Then we had to get up at 0600 this morning to get some things taken care of. *sigh*I am so sleepy. My receptionist is coming in today around 1400 and I'll be training her on some things and

I'm hoping that this post works. I'm working on a really slow computer at the office.....taking a break and sipping an iced chai and so I thought I'd post really quick while I have the chance. Scott and I returned back from vacation Wednesday evening and have pretty much been at the office ever since. Well, he has been. I worked from home on Thursday...but yesterday, sheesh, that was a fun day.

Leaving for vacation today. I'm trying to clean right now. Scott and I are going to switch rooms and I'm trying to get most of that done before he gets home. It's not going nearly as fast as I had hoped. :pOf course, I keep having moments like this when something distracts me and so, yeah, it's just taking a lot longer. *sigh*I am so excited to be spending some non-work hours alone with Scott. *

It's a little harder to post this early in the morning. I'm awake, my fingers just don't want to cooperate and it looks like I'm trying to post in another language. :pWe ended up going to bed at 2030 (8:30) last night, so I'm waking up now.

At the office right now. Have been everyday since last Thursday with the exception of the roadtrip Friday. Last night I got my walk in at least though when we walked about 7 or 8 blocks to dinner. That was a quite interesting meeting. Things are starting to come together and that makes me so happy. Things are still peachy with me and Scott. Talks of marriage aren't nearly as frightening for him,

7 am and I'm already up and ready to go. What's wrong with this picture?*sigh* Getting ready to make a one day "shopping" trip (business purposes) to Pittsburgh. Not that I'm sighing about the trip, I think that will be fun. The lack of sleep is what I'm sighing about. Not that I didn't sleep because I was too excited...it seems that I'm being overtaken by bad dreams at night. I thought last week

I never knew it could be so hard to find a house. It's a whole new level of frustration...and my expectations are not that high. I've finally told Scott that it's his decision because I'm going to be happy wherever he is. It's so heartbreaking to look at house after house and when you find one you really like and then the next day it goes into contract or this or that. Argh! It's been frustrating

I am at, dare I say, work. At the office, getting things on the go for N-Harmony. We had a conference call today and things are going quite well. I'm excited!Although I'm not sure excited sums it up.I was in the office all day yesterday as well. This is going to be great!Stay tuned for more details.

I haven't done html in so long that it took me a few tries before I got it all fixed.Anyway, I know I haven't blogged in a while but well, I've been exceptionally busy.It's all good though.Scott and I are doing so well....I've never been so happy in my life. :) : ) :)We've been looking at houses for the past few weeks during the evenings

One more 8 hr shift (hopefully not the usual 10) and I'll be off for the weekend. Oh how I love weekends off. I'll be turning in to have the last monday and Tuesday of the month off today so that Scott and I can spend a few days at New River and then go fishing with his dad

I still haven't decided on a new blog template. I doubt I will. I'll just keep chaning the colors of my text when I feel that I need a change. I'm so picky sometimes. I just spent the last 30 minutes or so glancing through some old posts that were written like 3 yrs ago. Had to laugh about almost all of them.

I am soooo frustrated right now. I've been trying to find a new template that I like for a while now. Finally found a couple that I like and I can't get one to open at all and the other just isn't working out the way I want it to so I'm stuck.

I have a terrible, terrible earache...probably an infection.......and it sucks. And I'm so excited right now I can barely stand it. I have class in less than three hours! Yay! It really sucks that my ear had to pick this time to hurt, but it's not bringing my spirits down today. Although it did yesterday. Scott was such a dear.

Today I am grateful for: the way that tears can drain you to the point of sleep.I've had a lousy day, but at least I've slept the majority of it away. Which is a good thing being that I have to work tonight. I shouldn't be too tired. I'm gonna see if one of the girls will switch shifts with me tomorrow, and if she does that will give me no more than 5 hours sleep, more like 3 for the next day. So

Tori was, and this doesn't do her justice, amazing!I've never had music move me so much. Our seats were incredible. I could see her so well....her voice carried splendidly. Everything was just wonderful. Philadelphia was an experience for sure. I'ev seen carzy taxi drivers on Tv...never knew they existed until Monday. Oh my goodness....I don't know how many near wrecks I saw....and all taxi

*sigh*I'm really wanting some sushi....but, you know, it would be so much cheaper to go to the store and make it myself than to purchase it at the restaurant.....even though I do love that little place. Now I'm just trying to talk myself into going to the store.I spent most of the day yesterday cleaning and whatnot and so there's not really much for me to do here today. I doubt I'll see Scott

I don't feel like being grateful for anything today...sure I am, I just don't feel like taking the time to think about it.I've been sick for about four days now and my head is all congested and I'm just tired and cranky. On top of that, I start a midnight shift at work tonight due to one of the ladies I work with having to take off for a while b/c of something that happened there. On top of that,

I got my Paul Frank watch in today, yay!So this is how it all happened.....I saw this really cute cuff bracelet that I liked at American Eagle Outfitters online but I didn't know if I would really like it in person and so Scott and I went into the store one day to check it out and well, it wasn't what I thought it'd be....but that really put me into the mood for a cute cuff bracelet. So I did

Today I am grateful for: adoring someone so much the mere thought of them brings joy to an entirely crappy day. I had such a bad day at work yesterday. It seems magistrate court was slammed and therefore...we were slammed....and got in around seven people in a 45 minute span when we were supposed to be in lockdown and performing count. Oh, what a pleasure. It didn't stop. There were still people

I haven't blogged about Nicci. oh my. Scott and I have a new addition to the family. :pWe got a pet rat a couple weeks ago. Well, I got a pet rat and he for the most part was okay with it. Lol. I was going to get a hamster and right before we went out the door I was looking at a website that compared different types of small animals and where hamsters grow to interact and enjoy human interaction

Today I'm grateful for inspiration. I would like to say creativity but I'm at a lack of that so I must go with inspiration. ;)So today has been nice so far. Weighed myself this morning and I've lost 5 lbs, yay! That was a good start. Went out on errands to pick up some necessary items and ended up getting a few extra things. The entire time we've been in this apartment we' ve only had blinds....

Today am I grateful for veggies.....and the ease of being able to throw several of them in a pot and quickly have a yummy, hearty soup. Mmm. Although I think I made it a little too spciy as my tongue is still burning, lol. I got a call a bit ago and I'm selling a gift certificate for a massage tomorrow. Yay! I'm excited. Scott came home last night!! Thankfully, tonight is my Friday and I have the

Note to self....do not use that color blue again. It's so horrid on this background. hmm...what am I grateful for today. Let me ponder on this a moment. Warm, cozy blankets. It's so nice when you come in the house from a cold, snowy night and you can snuggle into bed under a warm, cozy blanket. It's so heavenly. Speaking of heavenly....Scott is coming home tonight instead of tomorrow night! Yay!

OK, so....when i get home and blog...I still in the mind-set of that day...but as you can see from the last two posts....it's actually the next day....I have two I'm grateful for's today....b/c the 1st one was intended for my Monday mindset....and as I didn't get home until after midnight...well....in the rest of the world time, it was Tuesday. Go figure.

Ugh! I went outside w/o a coat expecting it to be all nice and warm. There's an inch of snow on my car. Sheesh. Today I'm grateful for ice scrapers.

Today I am grateful for: the normalcy of stress to the point that I think things are fine when everyone around me is freaking out.I know that sounds odd....but it seems so true right now. It has been such a terrible week at the jail already....things of which I can not speak...and a death, in which I should leave at that. I walk into my designated working area in which there are at least six ppl

Today I am grateful for: personalized ringtones. :PWhen I was in HS I had this english class and we had to journal for so many minutes every day of the class......well, it was supposed to be every day but sometimes she didn't do it....and sometimes she gave us a topic to write about and sometimes she let us go freestyle....and she graded them although I don't think she really read them, she just

So I should know that if one blogs continuosly(sp?) then it's easier to blog and catch up right? But does that matter? It doesn't seem so. I'm thinking that I need to start blogging on a more regular basis and even if it's one or two lines and isn't related to anything whatsoever it doesn't really matter right? yeah. I don't have time to continue this ramble however....at least not now. I have

It's sad how long it's been since I've posted anything. And sadly enough, it's not like there's been a change in things really. Only my schedule. I'm on evening shift at work now, not by choice and so now I really feel cut off from the world. It seems the only thing I do is work and sleep. I haven't talked to any of my friends in forever. Rarely see my family anymore. Live with Scott and am doing

Okay so........tonight I am the designated driver. There are a few people over right now, we're watching Friends and will be going to the Comedy Zone soon. I don't have to work tomorrow, yay! Although I have a doctor's appt early in the morning and I need to get a sticker on my car b/c mine is dead. I haven't been able to get one this week b/c everywhere I've called closes at 4 and I haven't got

I am soooo loving the gym. We went again this morning. It's funny, a few weeks ago I'd be getting up around 10 on mornings that I could sleep in and all of a sudden I'm getting up at 6 and we're hitting the gym and now I have a whole morning ahead of me to get things done. Which I guess would be a good thing to get used to b/c I think I'll be on evening shift at the jail and so I'll be working
