I LOVE…  having Walter here.  IN MY ROOM.

IN MY ROOM

I LOVE…  that Walter is meeting my friends and family.  And that he’s in my room.

I LOVE…  hot tea on a cold morning.

I LOVE…  sheet cake.

I LOVE…  making beef stew.  Om nom nom.

I LOVE…  that Alli and Robert are not only getting along, but that they’re best friends.  No more hitting, choking, threatening, or arguing.  It is glorious!

I LOVE…  Mitch Hedberg.

I wasn’t going to blog today since I’m on “vacation” and all, but I really felt like I couldn’t miss a Friday with you guys.

What do YOU love today?

Did I mention that I LOVE that Walter is in my room?  Because I love it.

I LOVE… that Robert is officially a high school graduate.

I LOVE… that he graduated from the high school I went to, the one that both my parents went to.
I LOVE… my old high school.  I don’t care how it gets made fun of.  I had so much fun and I learned so much that I’ll always love it there.

I LOVE… how good and patient Robert is with John.
I LOVE… that John fell asleep last night holding my hand.
I LOVE… that Walter called me first thing this morning and that he’s going to call me randomly while I’m at work.  *swoon*
I LOVE… playing WoW with Sarah at night.  Blood elf paladins rock.
I LOVE… that I have such bizarre dreams that I think about them throughout the day.
I LOVE… that CooCoo got to take Paula to see NKOTB last night for her birthday.

Do I want to eat my salad now?  Or later?  This is the hardest decision I have to make so far today, but don’t go thinking it’s easy.  Because it isn’t.

Deb just came over and saw the pictures of me and Walter we took in the photo booth the last time I went to MS.  I’ve framed it and it’s on my desk at work.  I love looking at it and daydreaming.

Hell, I daydream anyway.  I don’t gotta look at it.  *giggles*

I’m wearing a skirt.  A real skirt.  It’s blue and white and flowing and pretty.  I realized on the way to work today that wearing skirts makes me feel good.  I mean, I already knew dressing up made me feel good, but dressing up to go to work every now and then feels good.  I feel confident.  It’s nice, refreshing even.

You know what else is great?  Sarah has Wed-Mon off, and I can sleep in instead of getting up with John.  Like he’s actually going to let me sleep in, but at least I won’t have to get up out of bed because Sarah will be there!

And Robert is graduating high school on Thursday.  My baby brother.  MY BABY BROTHER.  I know I’ve said it before, but MY BABY BROTHER IS GRADUATING.  He’s gotten good enough grades to graduate.  This is celebratory.  I don’t feel old or like life has flown by.  I feel grateful that I’ve been there to experience it with him, and proud because even though he’s been taller than me for a few years he’s like officially a big boy now.

So I have Thursday off.  YESSSSSSSSSSS.

And on Saturday I’m having lunch with Jean and Jill, which I haven’t done in months.

That’s all for today.  Anything exciting going on that I need to know about?
Has anyone seen Land Of The Lost yet?  How was it?

I’m not going to eat my salad.  I’m saving it for later.

I’m having a hard time deciphering my mood today.  I’m irritated, but earlier I was ready to have a good day.  The world seemed bright, and now I’m just plain irritated.  And what’s more?  I want to be in a good mood, which is also irritating.  So I’m double irritated and I don’t like it.

Did I mention that I really want to be in a good mood?

My brother turned 18 yesterday.  I went to my mom’s for dinner, like I usually do on Sundays, and the poor kid was coming down with something.  He had a fever and he felt bodily crappy.  What a way to feel on your 18th birthday.  I hope he’s not getting The Flu.

Today I don’t have much planned: survive the morning with John, then go to work and survive the work day.

Already today he’s gotten into the cookies without asking.  I don’t get it.  Some mornings he’s so good, and other days he’s so insolent from breakfast until bedtime.  It drives me up the effing wall.

I’m debating whether or not I want to start playing World of Warcraft.  I want a new game to play, something I can really get into.  I haven’t played WoW in like 3 or 4 years, and I hear it’s changed a lot.  So I’m interested.  Does anyone here play WoW?  There’s a roleplaying server, right?  I want to play a game that has an actual RP server.  I miss role playing.  I miss Illarion, too, but I won’t go back to that.  It’s far too different now for me to enjoy it anymore.

I’m looking forward to going to work today.  I actually look forward to going to work every Monday.  I love the way it feels to go back to the office after a relaxing weekend.  And my weekend was pretty relaxing.

I bought some cute shirts at the mall, and two books.  I bought some comfy pants and some new underwear, too, since all my underwear laugh at me.  OH!!!!!  And I didn’t buy ANY movies.  NOT ONE.  This. is. huge.

And lastly, I’m sick of my page design.  I want something more personalized, more me.

Happy Monday, everyone.

Helloooooooooooooooooo bloggers and blogreaders and all of blogland!

I don’t usually blog on Saturdays, but I’m feeling good and I want to share it with the blogosphere!

The sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day!

I’m going shopping today.  SHOPPING!  With Alli.  And possibly Christina who, as of 0830, wasn’t feeling all that good but we’ll see later on.

Alli is hanging out with me today.  ALLI.  In a public place.  It’s going to be so fun!!!!!!  Alli and I haven’t hung out in a while (last Friday when I was sick doesn’t count LOL).  She’s so much fun.  I really can’t wait!  I miss hanging out with her.  Not living with her.  Hanging out with her.

I’m thinking Fire & Ice for lunch.  I don’t think she’s ever been there.  We’ll see.  I can’t remember if, last time she came to the mall with Christina and I, we went to Fire & Ice.  She should like it.  It’s build your own stir fry.  It’s gooooooooood.

Tomorrow is Robert’s 18th birthday.

MY BABY BROTHER IS GOING TO BE 18.

No, I don’t feel old.  Far from it!  I feel proud.  He’s graduating high school, getting his license, and turning 18.  And he WANTS to go to college.  For business.  My baby brother!!!!!

********************

So I’m chilling out in my room (yeah, I said chilling!) listening to country music and singing all loud-like in my incredibly nasaly post-Flu voice.  THAT’S how good I feel: I don’t care if anyone hears how terrible I sound.  :D

I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!!!!!!  ♥

Someday when I am grown up and I have my own house I am going to buy a refrigerator sized freezer, and in it I will keep a titanic supply of Rocky Road ice cream and Nutty Buddies.  And they will all be for me.

I could really go for a Nutty Buddy right now.  Ice cream for breakfast is my favorite.

(After chocolate milk, of course.  And cereal.)

Why hasn’t there been a new Superman movie out yet?  I thought Brandon Routh signed a three movie deal.  I want more Superman movies.

I woke up today in a quiet, introspective kind of mood.  I feel like I want to keep to myself, have little contact with other people, and spend all my time thinking about the things that make me feel good.  I look forward to going to work, but only to sit in MY cubicle, MY space, with MY things, and be quiet and content with my thoughts.

I miss Walter. That’s the thought that’s dominating my day brain today, taking up most of the space in my conscious (and probably subconscious) mind.

I’m not allowed to be friends with someone anymore that’s been my friend for 11 years.  I understand why, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less.  Not that that friend would ever read my blog, but I want him to know that even though we’re not allowed to interact I will always be here for him if he needs anything.  His family is always going to be my family.  We may not talk for 20 years, but if 20 years from now he needs anything, I hope he knows he can call on me and I’ll do whatever is in my power to be there for him.  I understand, but I don’t like it.

I started drawing something two weekends ago, and I haven’t touched it since.  I’m lost as to what to do with it anymore.  I wanted it to be a full page drawing.  Maybe I’ll work on it some more next weekend.  Maybe.

The weekend was pretty OK.  My birthday wasn’t the best ever but that’s alright.  They can’t ALL be fabulous all the time, right?  I spent all of Saturday and most of Sunday being lazy.  Did 4 loads of laundry, watched Castle and Lie To Me, and went to the movies alone.  Talked to Walter twice on Saturday.  Went to dinner at 7 Moons (finally) with Erik and Mike, and I brought home a ton of leftovers.

Speaking of which, I hope I don’t forget to bring the leftovers to work with me today.  I have Mike’s in the fridge, and he’ll need that.

Mike and I have been talking about going to 7 Moons for two years now.  o.0  Hooray for finally going!

364 days until my birthday.

Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past is a crappy movie.  Don’t see it in theaters.  I wouldn’t even suggest you see it when it comes out on DVD, it really was that lame.  It’s probably the worst movie I’ve seen since I saw Good Luck Chuck, which was a bad movie.

Christina and I are going to the mall next weekend.  I need to do some heavy duty book shopping.  I’ll probably start reading the Harry Potter books next week and I’m sure I’ll breeze right through them.

Once I get my TV fixed I think I’m going to sign up for Netflix.  Maybe.  It’s a thought.

I miss Walter. I think I’m going to spend some money and go see him again for three days before he leaves for Iraq in June.  They’re sending him home for 4 or 5 days before he ships out.  If I thought 8 days was not enough last month then 3 days is definitely not going to be enough this time, but I think of it this way: I’ll take what I can get to hold me over until he comes home.  I’m still thinking about it though.  Leaving last time was really hard.

I’m giving my NKOTB tickets to CooCoo.  I can’t go anymore.  My little brother’s graduation is the same night, and while I love my New Kids On The Block (wicked hard) I really can’t miss Robert’s graduation.  Family comes first.  In 13 days he’ll be 18 years old.  A month from today he’s going to be graduating high school.  And this fall he’s going to start going to college.  He may be like 5′10” or something ridiculous like that, but he’ll always be my baby brother.

I don’t feel hungry at all.  Is that a bad thing?  I haven’t eaten in 14 hours, shouldn’t I be even a little bit hungry by now?  I’m going to eat when I get to work whether I’m hungry or not, because that’s what I do.  I eat to pass the time.  And to fend off boredom.

Today is definitely going to be a Write In My Journal day.
