lately...

okay, so i'm kinda tired of the states posts... i'll get back to them eventually, just not today...

i've been kinda busy with a craft/project i've been working on lately... i volunteered to make the dresses for my former roomie's wedding... i'm crazy, i know... but i just couldn't imagine myself wearing an off-the-rack, walmart skirt (with a pattern on it, no less) in a wedding... and while i have nothing against walmart clothes, i feel a wedding party should not wear them... i also knew i could make skirts less expensive than we could order real bridesmaids outfits, and i could guarantee on time delivery... so, that's what i've been spending my time doing lately... and while the skirts aren't perfect, i think i've done well... hopefully, i'll finish them up this week, and get them shipped out to the others on saturday... go me!!!

i also spent a few days last week in seattle for a meeting... the weather was so nice there... no humidity, and just the right temp... not even any rain... i hated having to come back to the horrible DC heat and a stuffy office...

my good friend james moved back to SWVA yesterday... he had been here for a year... we had fun, but it was time for him to do what was best for his career, which meant moving away... i'm cool with it... not as crushed as i thought... but today is only the first day of him not being around... it will really hit me when i want Cheesecake Factory and he's not here to go with me... but hey, i guess this could be a good thing... everytime we got together, we were eating... so now i can save some $$$ from not eating out so much, and maybe lose some poundage by eating home cooked meals instead...

chris's mom is coming to visit next week... i'm waaaay excited... we're going to do some touristy DC stuff and then head to NC for the weekend... i can hardly wait!!!

and i think i'm ready to be back in an apartment by myself... my roommate (and her animals) are on my last nerve... i don't like waking up to cat vomit suprise in the floor, or being scolded because i put something that smelled good to the dog in the trash can and he went in after it... and if i have to pull all of the stuff out of my closet one more time so she can get to her stuff in the very back, i'm going to scream... there is an entire extra room upstairs, why can't she store her stuff in there??? i have limited storage space as it is, and even now there is stuff just sitting in boxes on my floor because i don't have anywhere else to put it... i think she and i will be having a chat soon...

ooo... and to end on an up-beat... i ordered a pair of shoes for the walk (and training)... i even got to choose the colors and they're personalized... i can't wait for them to get here!!! and in two weeks i'm going to start my first fundraiser... so be sure to check my AWBC site for info...

okay, back to work...
