Gotta love a child singing opera :) I will update on the fabulous trip to St. Paul soon... very soon personal Tue, 07 Sep 2010 19:54:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/9/7/holy-moly-thats-talent http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/9/4/quick-quick Um... rinse repeat from yesterday? Indeed. Although inception was kinda awesome and really confused me. Lisa has virtually met the boy. This makes me happy. He does not just exist in my head. Weekend is progressing nicely =) personal Sat, 04 Sep 2010 23:00:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/9/4/quick-quick http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/9/3/why-hello-there-captain Lisa and I have been drinking for close to four hours now... the outcomes is questionable. Apparently we have dinner reservations, which is a good thing, clearly.. as food would be helpful. However it seems we have terrorized my boy as well as Dana for the better part of the afternoon. Ahhhhh, I love vacay! personal Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:48:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/9/3/why-hello-there-captain http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/9/2/woot I made it to the airport! My flight was delayed but not by a whole lot! I'm going to see Lisa! My friend made a mix of some of my favorite dance songs! It's a long weekend! I'm jazzed to say the least =) personal Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:08:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/9/2/woot http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/9/1/selfish There are some days when I really wish I could live by myself... this is one of those days. I really would love to be able to zone out on my couch with no interruptions, but instead I get two screaming children. Nice. One more day and I'm out of here. personal Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:23:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/9/1/selfish http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/31/making-it-through-the-big-A Today was the last day of August and while nothing special happened, I do feel a sense of relief that this cursed month of mine is over. I know that it is entirely possible that something terrible could happen tomorrow or any moment in the future, but still I feel a symbolic triumph of having 'survived' another August. A couple memorable weekends will also take their place on a bookshelf of my happy memories room in my mind. Now to get through another couple days and then I am Minneapolis and Lisa's Place bound!!! personal Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:04:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/31/making-it-through-the-big-A http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/30/understanding-rxhausted I an really hoping that massive amounts of sleep will cure me... I have two classes back to back this week and other bullshit that is rearing its ugly head... Gotta stay healthy! personal Mon, 30 Aug 2010 19:58:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/30/understanding-rxhausted http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/29/so-I-cheated I forgot to blog yesterday, so I cheated this morning and changed the date on the last post. I am so ashamed. Not really. This weekend has been really interesting, to say the least. There was somewhat of an epic battle between the bachelorette's two groups of friends. The wedding will be interesting. I also got a lot of news from the core four group of girlfriends. I feel inspired to change my life. It is time. The boy and I texted all weekend and I have to say it was really enjoyable. I like feeling close to him where I can tell him stupid stuff that is happening. I am really scared that what we have is all in my head. I do that. A lot. Can't wait to get through this week and head out to Minneapolis next weekends. Fun times! personal Sun, 29 Aug 2010 19:10:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/29/so-I-cheated http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/28/ugh-ness We're gving issues with the girls being carry... really ladies? we can't suck it up and act like adults? At least I look damn good! personal Sat, 28 Aug 2010 16:54:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/28/ugh-ness http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/27/positive-thoughts So I am gloatingly proud of myself at the moment. In spite of a missed flight due to boss' ridiculousness... then a not so cheap solution... I am in good spirits. I have had a chance to wind down from the week. Enjoy a couple glasses of wine. A chat with a neighbor at the bar. Teasing the boy. Good times, all around. And I'll arrive in time for the real shenanigans in Vegas. Credit Card be damned! Happy Weekend! personal Fri, 27 Aug 2010 16:33:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/27/positive-thoughts http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/26/oh-the-sleep I haven't felt this exhausted in a long time. I think because the last time I did this kind of training, I didn't have to interact with anyone at home. I could just zone out on the couch... So so tired. And I haven't packed. I haven't even figured out what suitcase to take. Can't someone just come do this for me? personal Thu, 26 Aug 2010 17:27:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/26/oh-the-sleep http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/25/i-aint-made-o-money I spent way too much money tonight. Even though I got good deals on everything, it's still too much money on BS... at least it improved my mood. I was really tired all day even though I slept fairly well... I guess I just realized that this one program isn't going to magically make work better for me. I still gotta figure out what to do with my life. Le sigh. On the upside, I got fabulous shoes! personal Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:24:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/25/i-aint-made-o-money http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/24/i-win The first class went really well and so I am relieved. Now I can just rinse and repeat for the next four weeks. Oh shit. I am going to be exhausted. *shrug* So I am headed to Vegas this weekend for a bachelorette party and for the first time ever (I think) I am not really looking forward to it. It's just gonna be a lot of money and catty chicks trying to have a good time in spite of being completely different. Le sigh. I'd rather go to DC and jump my boy... personal Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:39:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/24/i-win http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/23/storminess It seems we have excessive summer storms around here. I don't think I've ever noticed how bad they were in the past, or they've just picked up some intensity this year. Either way, it feels epic sometimes. Tomorrow morning is the first class of the launch... right now I feel pretty calm, but I'm sure sleeping will be a challenge tonight. I may make myself a bailey's and hot chocolate to assist in the sleeping process... yeah that sounds like a good idea. Cheers kids! personal Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:40:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/23/storminess http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/22/its-the-waiting Sorry to see this weekend go, but also excited to do the job i was born to do... And then vegas next weekend! Life is good... I must remember that when i struggle with whatever the issue du jour is... Life is good! personal Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:41:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/mona/client/index.cfm/2010/8/22/its-the-waiting
