Long layers and long days...

First of all, loving me some long layers... (look closely, they are there)

Ignore the painful way my face looks, and our fugly wallpaper, look only at the long layers. Yay!

Aren't we cute. Isn't our cuteness magnified by the long layers?!

Anyway, moving on. Today it is supposed to be warm again... like in the 70s warm. That makes me happy, which is good because I need something to make me happy right now.

A little background: One of my coworkers, whom is also a good friend (not just a good work friend, but a see outside of work friend) suffers very badly from post-partum depression. She has handled this sometimes okay, and sometimes not. Right now she is handling it not. I honestly love her dearly and have always tried to be there for her... reassuring her that she is not alone and that she is strong enough to beat this. Or just being a ear to listen. Recently in a handling it well phase she stopped taking her meds, for a while she was fine, but back to now, she isn't.
Sometimes its hard to be a coworker when you are a friend too... or maybe its hard to be a friend when you have to be a coworker. She is a great person. But she comes in late everyday (she's still not here at 9:50), forgets things, and sometimes its hard to get her motivated to do certain work things that we have to do together. Being her friend, I have covered for her on more then one occation... something that often ends up stressing me out pretty damn bad.
I'm so torn. I know how damaging depression can be. I know that it isn't something that you can snap out of or just get over. But at the same time I just feel like screaming "get ahold of yourself!"... she needs to be able to continue to function or she needs to go back on the damn meds. Don't worry, I resist the urge... but I'm used to being able to tell friends if they do something that is hurting me, but I feel like I can't here. Because its depression, and its a "work hurt". I'm torn between feeling like she uses her depression to get away with things, and just wanting to help her feel better (aka feeling like a piece of shit for feeling this other stuff).
And while I know that it could be worse (I mean, I'm not the one suffering from PPD... or poor Susan for example)... its hard not to let it get to me. Especially after yesterday, when we both got "in trouble" for something that was a direct result of (and these are her words) of her "being lazy and then forgetting". But our boss didn't know that, and therefore, we both got in trouble. I love her dearly, but I have worked hard to have my boss be comfortable in my abilities and have faith that I will get done what needs to be done, not to have that undermined by what someone else has or has not done.

*deep breathes*
I need to get out of here. I feel horrible, I feel selfish, but I also feel like until now I have been pretty selfless with her. I don't know what to do and I hate that feeling. I just want to put this aside and continue to help her through this time, but I don't know if I can just do that. I can't help that when I see her I feel a little angry.
My whole life I've been very lucky with friends. Besides one or two people that turned out to not be that true of a friend, everyone that I have called a good friend has been loyal, and I have always done my best to return the favor. Friends may come and go as life changes, but again, only once or twice has something actually forced me to lose a friend. I don't want work to change that.

Okay, enough of that. I have things to do.

spring Spring SprinG SpRiNg SPRING !!!!!!!!!!

Yay for Spring! It's so gorgeous out, in the high 60s, and its actually supposed to stay like this. Hallelujah! Maybe i can start getting out to walk in the afternoons again, and take some more loverly Philly pictures. Today has been good. First off I got a GREAT night sleep last night (weird dreams with snakes and lost shoes and half marathons, but still great), and for the first time this week, did not wake up between 3 and 4 in the morning. Thank god! Then it is gorgeous out, and I got to meet with Apoc for lunch today. Which, I might add, his work paid for. All the better.

Last night was great. Hiro was surprised and very happy when we all showed up for a birthday party for him. There was great food, and music, and fun people. We had a blast. Plus there were four adorable kids there... it was better then watching TV. They had a big blue bouncy ball (that was almost as big as them) which they took turns running around with. It was like the 3 stooges or something... they would bounce off furniture, off of each other... and they just thought it was the biggest laugh riot. Of course, we did too.
And then there was the champagne! And the cake! And did I mention the champagne!

Now I also have two free nights! In a row! Ro & Pat had to cancel tonight (boo!) because of Pat's huge workload which has to be taken care of before they leave for Cabo, and the second family I'm meeting re: babysitting had to reschedule for Sunday late morning/early afternoon (yay!).

Okay, back to the grind...

humpity hump...

The week is halfway over already. I feel like it should be a friday, I've done enough already. :-) But it is sunny out and lucky me got to take a nice brisk walk to the bank (sans coat!!), so now my butt muscles are twitching away nicely. Oh baby.

Oh, and I haven't even mentioned the delish little present Miyano got me courtesy of her sister. Very popular in japan, these little delite's hang from your phone. They are big and gaudy and wonderful. I love it purely because of how ridiculous it is.

(Just like this, but mine has only one bright magenta pink feather with a strawberry instead of those other beads.)

Oh and I love Barry because of how ridiculous he is too.

Look closely.

Meeting with family A last night was good too. Besides the unnecessary amount of cursing that ended up being oh so necessary on the drive over, it was a great time. Cute kids, nice family... and they (kids) seemed very excited to play with me. I got a nice email from them today too, saying how they are so glad they found a sitter they can trust (they are new to the area). It will be a great way to make a little extra money.

Okay, back to work for me. Ciao!

the homebody in me is shaking in her shoes...

I have something every night this week. Last night was the glasses, tonight and friday I'm meeting with families about babysitting (to make a little extra wedding money), tomorrow night is a birthday party, and thursday we are heading to Ro & Pat's for dinner (before they head off to Cabo). Plus Thursday lunch I'll be meeting with Apoc, whom I haven't gotten to hang out with for ages. For a homebody like me, who normally doesn't venture out during the week (except for the occational trip to the grocery store) this is craziness! And this weekend is busy too, so no real chance to recover there. Saturday is our taste-testing at our reception site (with my parents), and Sunday I'm heading up to meet with my girls for a late lunch - which is a very long time coming. Thankfully next week currently is looking pretty tame, and the weekend should be nice with Brian & Stacey's wedding to attend!

Anyway, I just ate way too many cookies and am feeling a bit hyper. I have a new obsession too... Farm Hustle by Thalia and Ari is like bejeweled, but 20x better. While you are there you should check out the rest of the farm.

Okay, I have to get back to work (which is also busy right now)...

late!

So late today. Just trying to pound all this out before its time to leave. I can't believe how the day has flown. I'm definitely not complaining about that though.

This weekend was good. Friday at Brian & Stacey's was a lot of fun. Saturday I definitely made the most of my day... I did get long layers at the hair dressers. I like them, and pictures will eventually follow. They are subtle, and just what I needed I think. Then I relaxed at my parent's for a little before heading to see Laura and the kids. Actually, at first, Laura wasn't even there... but I had a great time playing board games with Maddy, Katy, and Rick.

When I got home, Travis, the king of free frozen products told me to put on my PJs so that we run out to Brusters for PJ Weekend. We attended for free ice cream twice. It was a hard job wearing our PJs around all weekend, but we managed. :-)

Sunday all I had to do was go for my eye exam, so that morning we headed to Willy's to clean up a bit before he returns from AZ. Then I got my eyes checked, and tonight I go back for my new lenses (keeping my same frames)... yay for being able to see again! I also heard from my parents and the family has a new member! Earlier then any of us anticipated, but she fell right into our laps.

Meet Lady:



Isn't she a cutie?



I haven't gotten to meet her in person yet, but she sounds so sweet and my parents are already smitten. She is a two year old Boxer pup. I can't wait to spend some time with her.

Okay, now I have to run and get my train... I have such a busy week ahead of me. I'll tell about it later, but for now... I'm outta here!

not enough brain waves to go around...

As Bill mentioned, I think that this week has shown an incredible shortage of blogability. I have very little to say. But today at least I have found two things that I feel I need to point out to you...

First, All That Is Wrong With This World.
Eww. Words cannot describe the disservice I believe this is doing to mothers everywhere, the perception of birth, and in fact, all of humanity.

But this, THIS, is all that is right with the world.
Thee cutest voice and pronounciation ever. If they could bottle that, I would buy it en masse.

So anyway, while I was not able to provide you with my personal brand of sustinance, at least I was able to point you in not one, not two, but three different directions!

Anyway, I am so damn glad its friday. We are heading to Brian & Stacey's tonight... their last party before the wedding! Tomorrow I (blah) have to get up early to head north for a hair cut. I think I might actually have her give me a hairstyle. It's a little scary... I've been telling her to "just trim the bottom" for so long, just adding a few long layers will be scary for me. But I think it is time for the change. Then I'll get to see my parents and hopefully the Malnights, though I keep forgetting to call them! Sunday I have an eye appt so I can get a new prescription and hopefully stop having headaches and actually be able to see clearly again. Yay!

That's all for us really. A pretty lazy weekend. Ro & Pat will be away at Pat's parent's, and then are leaving next weekend for Cabo. So hopefully we will get to see them sometime in between. Also hopefully they will not bring Travis anymore Tequila!

OH! Good news, I think the florist search is over. Reasonably priced, highly recommended, easy to work with. Yay!

Okay, back to the grind. Well actually, I'm going to read the newspaper and look up a particular spa (possible honeymoon location), but then back to work!

Ciao.

soundtrack of my life

Last night as I lay in bed trying to fall asleep, right on the edge, I was scared awake by a strange growling noise. I wish I had a little recorder, like Bill, so that I could play that sound for you... it was really odd. But then again, maybe you don't want to here the mystery that is my stomach. It was so bizare and it wouldn't stop... growling, gurgling, I could feel it moving! I don't know why it was doing that. I was tempted to drink more juice to see if that was the cause, but had it been I think I may have actually exploded!

Anyway, the week is flying. Today started off with electrical problems in the office, so no computers in a few offices, including mine. A bit of a pain, but all is well that ends well. It made my morning go a bit faster since I couldn't do work and "had" to joke around with some of my loverly coworkers.

Anyway, time to get back to work... but here is a random picture for your entertainment. Eenie, Meanie, Minie...

MO!

(At American Burger in China...)

as usual...

... there is so much drama.

:-) What can you do? Well, Travis and I, we go to bed at 9:30... that's what we do about drama. I'm still so tired. My crazy dreams don't help. I always end up waking up once or twice in the night wondering who slipped the crack in my pudding. C'est la vie.

Speaking of pudding: I can't stop eating today. I had a veggie burger, a microwave meal, a chocolate pudding, and am working on my second bottle of water. At least its not all junk.

Okay, back to work. Sorry for the non-entry, but I'm a busy girl. ;-) Or something like that.

HAPPY SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty tired today. The weekend was good but exhausting. For the life of me I can't remember what we did Saturday morning, but I feel like we did something. OHHH, we met up with Ro & Pat to check our their house-to-be, while they were finishing up the inspection. It is a great house! It will be perfect for them, and I look forward to spending lots of time in it.

Travis and I also had a really stupid fight over domestic stuff. Oven mitts and towels to be specific. Lol, we had to laugh at ourselves over that one later.

Saturday night, Ro & Pat came over for dinner, then we all headed over to Bri & Stacey's place. We hit up the Bachelor/ette parties and all had a great time. The girls went to two bars, McFaddens and Tiki Bob's. There was dancing and drinking and Stacey had a blast, which was the important part. Only about 2 and a half weeks until Bri & Stacey tie the knot! Anyway, Travis didn't really drink so that he could drive us home. We didn't get back home until 3... and asleep until about 330. Of course then we wake up at 815- 830ish in the morning! Yipes.

Sunday we hit up the diner with Ro & Pat, then headed our seperate ways. Ro & Pat home (Pat needed his nap!), Trav & I first to Trader Joe's, then BJ's for some foods. We were both worn out, but didn't nap. Trav did about 30 loads of laundry. We watched Crash for the fist time. It was good, we enjoyed it and I got what the director was going for, but a lot of it was just too coincidental for us. At the same time I liked how he tied all the stories together. I guess you can't really have it both ways! Oh well, we did enjoy it, so...

Overall it was a great weekend.

That night Trav dropped me off at the train station so I could ride into the city. Yesterday work had an all day conference at UPenn Law school, and I had to be there nice and early, so they put me up for the night. I fell asleep around 1030ish, only to have my dad wake me up with a phone call at 615! So no catching up on sleep there. Oh well. It didn't really hit me too much yesterday. The day was uneventful, the food was great... Miyano and I got out a little early. She treated me to some Bubble Tea which was interesting and pretty good. For dinner Trav grilled up some sausages, hot dogs, and hamburgers... which smelled great! Then we headed out to Rita's to get our free Italian Ice. Which despite the FREEZING cold, was the perfect treat... and a great way to welcome spring.

Now it feels kind of good to be back in the office. Right now I've gotten completely caught up, so its not stressful, and as long as I get things done as they come too me I don't get behind. And that is better then having to stress about all the little details of a conference. Plus, despite being tired, I'm feeling really good today. Like certain things are the way they should be. That is a good feeling.

Okay, back to work. Ciao.

lucky bamboo trouble

I repotted my lucky bamboo (which I keep on my window sill at work) this morning. Now my office smells like crap. Not just it smells bad, no, it literally smells like feces!! Since the bamboo is potted in small stones (which the roots curl around) and not soil, a bit of mold developed on the bottom of the pot. Very pugnent mold! Ugh.

I'm looking forward to my weekend. We'll get to see Ro & Pat's house-to-be... and hit up the bachelor/ette parties. Good stuff. Mostly I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow and Sunday. I need some good sleep.

Travis kicked some ass and finally got some answers regarding some airline tickets I had won in a drawing. Apparently there was a mix up and they "forgot" to contact me. But we'll be getting them now. Maybe we'll be having a honeymoon in the US (most likely continental) afterall. Suggestions for warm places to stay in October? Where to go in CA, AZ, FL, etc... let me know! Although maybe we can use those to fly to FL for a cruise?! That's an idea.

Okay, back to work.

for your viewing pleasure....

First, keep in mind that I took all of these with my camera (which is obviously much better at taking stills then videos). Plus I took them in very dark rooms with screaming children. I think they came out okay, but they are grainy and a bit dark. If you can deal with that, watch and enjoy!!

Yuilu... being cute and playing with Travis' glove.

At the TN Aquarium:

Jellyfish

Blinking Jellyfish

Glowing Jellyfish

And my personal favorite, Sharks and a Sea Turtle.


There you have it! My videos. :-)

So, will someone else please plan my honeymoon? Please?! I'm really not enjoying the planning part. The going part will be fine, but I just can't seem to do this planning. Ugh. Honestly, if someone would like to plan my honeymoon for a wedding present... that would be awesome.

Lunch time!

whatchu gonna do wit all dat junk, all dat junk inside ur trunk...

don't know why, but i have this stuck in my head today... i love this song!

anyway... i'm much more awake today. sleep was nice last night, but i'll still be happy when its the weekend. Stacey & Brian's bachelor/ette parties are this Saturday night. should be a good time. plus i think we might be checking out Ro & Pat's future house when they do their inspection also on Saturday (Ro call or email me and let me know what's up for that!!).

today is just work, like normal. i couldn't believe it was snowing earlier... i really thought spring might have come. oh well.

okay, back to work.


ps. i took a few short videos while in TN... including this one of a shark and sea turtle at the aquarium. i don't know if it will work for you right away, but definitely should soon.

pardon me boy, is that the chattanooga choo choo?

Having trouble concentrating today... probably due to my horrid lack of sleep last night. We I finally decided to get out of bed at 2 in the morning to make myself some warm milk, I knew it was bad.
Anyway, bad for me, but good for you! I actually downloaded pictures and since I can't concentrate on work, I'll have the chance to post!

Let's get started... as normal, I've gone back and added pictures to their relavent entries... just because you are already going to get bombarded with pictures of TN in this entry, and it would be huge! So... here for Marti Gras & Yuilu, here for my creative candlemaking, and here for more of any and all of the above, etc etc.

Okay, so Tennessee. Where to even begin?! How could I not love it there... it was warm and beautiful, and the city is so clean. The sidewalks are so neat and tidy, and people say "ya'll"!!! Plus, when they answer the phone they say "yello" instead of hello, and it is just so cute.

Um, and did I say clean?!

I stayed at the Choo-Choo... which was an old trainstation way back when, and they use real traincars as rooms!

Plus they have spring there... complete with blossoms on the trees and all...

Thursday I headed out to dinner with a mission to fullfill a craving for Pulled Pork, which is not called Pulled Pork in the south apparently (I determined this by getting MANY strange looks), but just BBQ. All was well though because the locate BBQ place, Sticky Fingers, had great Pulled Pork!!

Friday I slept in a bit and then headed to the Aquarium...

It was great! I wandered around both sides, and that took up the rest of my morning.

Saturday and Sunday was work of course, but it was nice with Miyano & Hiro & Yuilu. Between the rest of Friday and the evening on Saturday I managed to take a walk around Coolidge Park, give myself two blisters, see the Deep Sea movie in the IMAX theature (with 3D glasses and all), see Chattababy and Barry (and Nana & Gpa) for dinner at the Southern Star, and do some general walking about. It was a great weekend.

Riding the prop plane back to Charlotte, NC wasn't as fun... and the delay in our flight from Charlotte to Philly was a little crappy too... but otherwise it was a great weekend!

It's always great to be home though. Especiallly to see Trav.

Okay, well its lunch time so I better eat something! Ciao!

And Behold

I will leave you with this... because she is so much funnier then I can hope to be.
If you do not laugh loudly and explosively because of this, you have no sense of humor!

and away we go...

So I don't know if I'll be able to post again before next monday. Tomorrow I leave for TN. I'll be in airports and on planes all day. And while I'm in TN I'm not sure what kind of internet access I will have. I will miss it, and upon my return I will probably have more spam then G*d, but c'est la vie. I'm excited. I've never been to TN, and I love seeing new places. Hopefully I will also get to see some old faces in the form of the Chattafamily... and Barry, I do not mean old like old, I mean old like I haven't seen your faces in a while. :-) Just to clarify.
I'm not going to write about anything else I hope to do because I'm not sure how much time I'll have to do it, and i don't want to disappoint.

Today is pretty relaxed. I got a lot done yesterday, so I'm able to work at a less frantic pace today. Definitely nice. It will feel good to leave today and know that I don't have to worry about the office for four whole days. I will miss my boy though, while I am gone.

Last night we popped in the 4th Harry Potter movie, which just came out yesterday. Travis and I are Potter fiends! So it was great to get to watch it again and catch things that we didn't the first time around (in the Imax theature, when we were sitting just a bit too close to the screen and to far to the side so that we had to turn our heads back and forth to follow the action!), and get a better idea of how we felt about the movie. While I'm still a bit disappointed about some of the stuff they cut/the way they played a few things out... I like it a lot more now then I did at first.
Okay, now that you are all convinced that I am a dweeb, we'll move on.

Actually, its time for me to eat... so I'll say tata for now!

don't laugh at me too hard

Come visit my store on CafePress!

Not like I actually expect anyone to buy anything... but I had fun with it. And maybe I will make some stuff with real pictures at some point...

mmmm.... Angelina... :-)

This just made my day. ;-)

monday monday

Busy busy busy... so much to do before Wednesday is over. Thursday morning I am leaving for TN... so I have to get my sh*t done.
Barry, am I stopping by to see you Thursday evening or Friday during the day?!

The weekend was nice. Bridal shower was good, Stacey was happy (makes me even more eager for my wedding to get here!). My parent's party was fun, of course!

Good food, great friends. My uncle Wray was there too which was a pleasant surprise.

I was exhausted by the end of the day, but it was all worth it. The florist meeting on Sunday was so much better then I thought it would be... I really like this lady. Cross your fingers that she gives me a good price quote, because if so, I'm so going with her!

Trav and I had a good time with Yuilu.

He was such a cutie, and just so easy going and delightful to be around.

I'm tired today, but in a good mood.

Harry Potter comes out tomorrow!

Okay, back to work.

need to stop smoking that crack...

Ahh, friday. That is a nice feeling. In my office, back next to my window. I no longer have to worry about people popping up behind me (which I just find disconcerning), and that is a great feeling. Today is nice, freezing, but nice. I was tired this morning, no surprise, but my carmel apple cider woke me up. Travis gave me one of his gift cards ($25 Amex card) and I have already spent $14.83 of it on Starbucks. Normally I'm a Dunkin Donuts girl, but they do not take Amex. $10.17 to go... but I have vowed NOT to spend that at Seattle's heathen spawn.

I've needed it for the past few days though... okay sleep, but the weirdest dreams and I wake up like I am trying to swim through a rip-tide. Slowly, sluggishly.Two nights ago I drempt that it was wedding day and I realized I hadn't finished half the stuff I was supposed to. I was frantically calling vendors and people and running around in my wedding dress. I finally get to the wedding site with about 1 minute to spare and they are all lined up and were just going to go on without me! Travis was at the back of the line were I would normally be, and so I had to duck into a side room so he wouldn't see me. I realize that my dress has a tear in the train, and that I can't find any bouquet to carry. In fact, I notice the decorations are all wrong, set up for a spring wedding with tulips and such. They all processed down the aisle, so I had to run in to get there before we could start. It was taking place in a stone courtyard, and there was a giant fountain between the guests and where Travis and I were standing. The dream ended just after this with me just feeling so helpless.

Last night falling asleep was a chore... I couldn't keep my eyes open, but I felt so jumpy and shakey... like I had downed an expresso and a vicodin at the same time. I really felt like I was on drugs. It was a bit disturbing.When I finally did get to sleep, I dreampt that I was driving around with friends in my hometown. Travis was there and one or two guys from Lehigh and some high school friends. We were in a big van and drove to a big Walmart-type store. I grab a store announcement and see that Cassie, a high school friend, had been hired as their pharmacist. I became so overwhelmed. I was jealous and sad about my job, and was feeling like I was in such a bad place. I headed to my parents and was standing in my old room (now their room). On their nightstand was a big plastic container of water, full of goldfish. I was trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life, pacing around the room. I walked to the opposite side of the room and turned on a giant fan. I felt something wet hit the back of my neck and realized that some of the goldfish had come flighing out of the container when I turned on the fan. I frantically ran around the room scooping up the fish with a small net and putting them back into the container. When I got to the last fish, I realized that the container had changed into a paperbag and that the net was now a plastic baggie. I turned the plastic baggie (which was now full of water, as well as the last fish) over into the paperbag dumping the fish and the water. I left in covering the top of the paperbag, but immediately started to panic. I knew if I removed the plastic baggie, the paper bag would be too weak to support the water and fish and would collapse... but if I didn't remove the plastic baggie, the fish would die. That's when I woke up...


Anyway, this weekend will be very busy, but it should be a great deal of fun. Tonight... nothing! And that is glorious. :-) Tommorrow I have my second bridal shower of the season to attend, then we are heading up to my parent's house for my mom's second annual Marti Gras party. There will be shrimp and gumbo and jambalaya, etc. etc. etc. Travis and I are bringing the shrimp this year, and maybe crab too... no drinks this time!! We'll spend the night and return Sunday morning. That afternoon I have another appointment with a florist, then I'll pick up Yuilu from Miyano's house.

I get to watch the baby all afternoon and I'm very excited for it! Miyano and Hiro will pick him up when Hiro gets off of work. At that point I'm sure I'll be exhausted, but it will all be worth it!


Okay, back to work.... Ciao!

with a little help from your friends

Please head over here to see William... it has to do with cancer and I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important. We all need to help our fellow man sometimes, and this is a little way that you can reach out to someone.

Thanks.

what a week... almost over the hump!

Wow, its been busy this week. Saturday was great. I loved getting to see my Babs... and what fun to have four of my favorite people all in the same place, at the same time. Add great food into that equation and you have a very happy Megan.
Sunday we relaxed, met with a florist, and watched some Harry Potter. I think the florist decision is going to be the bane of my existance. I really am tired of meeting with vendors, and this is another Big one. Its really a weird feeling to have to trust so many different people to make one day a success... it's a bit unnerving.

Monday was busy, back to work... and a LONG day because there was a study group that evening which I had to stay in the office for and clean up afterwards. So I didn't get home until around 9:30. It was good in some ways... I did get a lot of work done. But it was definitely a tiring day. Yesterday I had a DR. appt. in the AM. So I headed there, then drove back to the train station by my house and headed into work. Of course it was busy after that. Home like normal for me, but a little late for Trav, since he had an appt to pick out his tuxes. He showed me what he picked and they are great.

As for today. It's hectic again. When isn't it... but at least the week is halfway done.
As of tomorrow I'll be back by the window in my office... the desk stealer is moving to another office. I absolutely hate having my back to the door, so that will be a huge relief. There will be person moving in with me, but he's a lot of fun, and he's only here once a week. I like that combo!

Okay, off to scrounge for food. For your entertainment, here is some fun I had in Paint last night... oh the things I find amusing. :-)
