OWWIE

it is the last day of May and I am feeling gloomy. why? Because my freaking wisdom tooth is killing me. At least I hope it is my wisdom tooth...someone just told me that it could be a root canal thing. Please. I have never had a cavity and now I meet some sugery??! ! What sucks most of all is that I can;t get an appt until next fri. what the hell am I supposed to do till then? I didn;t make it to the gym today which pissed me off. I had a strawberry shake at lunch and chili fries which pisses me off now cuz I feel gross. The holiday is over which pisses me off! Oh and when I was unpacking last night turns out I am a moron and didn't properly close my shampoo bottle. yeah that was a fun midnight hour cleaning up my luggage:(

On a good note - I am so super dooper excited for July! MAC and I are taking our first vacation together and we are off to costa rica! HOW FUN!!! I am all nervous about needing to speak spanish but I am sure we will fit right in:) July also means I am done with Denver and July means that my tooth should be all better! Oh and MAC and I had a very nice holiday weekend. Went to santa cruz and hit up the boardwalk. Actually I should say we hit up the arcade for 2 hours! I was in heaven! Every game possible they had and I rocked! Well between the two of us we kicked some ass! We went on 3 rides. Would have gone of more but MAC turned out to be a little girl on the rides. Just kidding MAC!!

So one of my favorite things at the boardwalk is the robot fortune teller lady similar to what is on the movie BIG. Anyway - my fortune totally rocked. It was soooo right on - saying how I was stubborn or something and how someone would come along and make things better and the next month would be good for me and all this stuff that totally applies to what is going on in my life! MAC's was pretty right on as well. That robot is smart:)

oops she did it again

dude how sad it is that ms. spears is having a baby? have you all seen clips from their reality show? what the HELL were they thinking videotaping retarded moments together? Is this supposed to be funny? I don't get it. And Kevin wants to be a model? Can we say gross!!!

This week is going by sooo slow. Good thing I pretty much took off work last fri. I was HUNG OVER from thurs night. Had a coworker in town from LA and as I am lame and can;t say no to free drinks, I got wasted. Very sad. I hate getting that drunk - it is just stupid. live and learn kids.

Thanks to La Sassy for hanging out with me on friday. Doggy happy hour was great, although not that many dogs. but I got to see my sis and her boy and another coworker from LA and her boy!

Finally saw napolean dynamite. I think you all are a bit loopey for loving this movie SOOO much but it was pretty damn funny. Oh and I saw Incredibles this weekend - thanks Anye for my present! Such a cute movie:) I love animation!

and yeah for MAC taking a red eye from Hawaii to spend some time with me before I headed off to denver.

Had some annoying news yesterday. Management is trying to extend me on this project for another month...which could have been ok except I would spend the month of July in CHARLOTTE!!! DO you know where this is?? It is called like a 7 hour flight! Not sure what is going to happen. I am not going to stress about it now.

I can;t believe this weekend is memorial weekend. Totally sprung up on us and we don't know what to do!

damn it is hot

This kind of weather demands sunbathing. It is too lovely outside to concentrate on work. I already took my afternoon nap which consists of my trying to hold my head up while dozing off. I really can't emphasize how important I think taking naps as an adult really is...I swear I only need like 10 minutes to feel new and improved. Companies should understand this and if someone walks past me and my head is on the table that should be OK damn it.

So I love the pics we have of Vegas. which makes me think about our memory. Do we really only retain visual memories like 30 years down the road? Example: if I didn;t have pics of our trip and 30 years later I try to remember what we did - could I explain it? Would I even be able to distinguish all our trips over the years? or is at all just one mesh of stories? With pics however I feel that I would be better equipped to recall certain memories...not sure how that works. But how sad is it that we have a bagillion memories that are locked up somewhere in our head or erased from drinking too much! All that is left is a vague feeling of good or bad about our past...or not. who knows. I am not a story teller anyway so what is going to happen to me?!

I am so jealous of miss curious' blog entry!!! I heart writing ditties (mind you I am not sure how to spell ditty). Do the ditty if you want to ya know?!

Not quite sure where to begin
four days in vegas makes my head spin
my itty bitty feet hurt like a bitch
good thing deitz's spill didn;t require a stitch
Lynz on the phone all day and night
One of of the gals was out of sight
Vodka and redbull kept me awake
yeah that's right we stayed up hella late
pre partying is what it is all about
chugging liquor like it was flowing from a water spout
decibels rising as we all start to feel happy
too bad the next day we felt so crappy
so much fun hanging out and dancing
can't get over old peeps on the dance floor prancing
where were all the table top dancers and fire eaters?
guess the Wynn is too classy for those kind of creatures
80 degree weather and I managed not to burn
although watching you all drink yards of margaritas made my stomach churn
finding starbucks made my day
oh JK - it was hanging out with you all to play!
craps master I am not
but props to my ladies who looked damn hot
next time Linz rolls that sweet
we will be accused of being cheats!
she made us all hella money
that is why she is my bed buddy
well she was last year
thanks to miss curious we all got to jeer
there will be no planning rooms in advance
unless you want to be put on the list of next year's no chance
shout out to Mel for doing my hair
and for all of you that helped me pick my glasses pair (you know, pair of glasses!)
Back to work is so uncool
and next year so many of you will be in school
never fear for vegas will be here
and we can all cheer for the cardinal and straw that made this friendship appear

canker schmore

I don;t know what it is but every week for the past 3 weeks I have had a canker sore. and these aren't baby sores - they are big poppas! AND THEY FREAKING HURT. I feel like my mouth is swollen, I can't eat...it sucks. And to top it off - I have like 3 phat ass pimples on my nose that of course I had to pick so now they are all red and my hair really needs a cut but my appt is in 2 weeks! At least I get a pedicure tomorrow. So just like la sassy - some vegas essentials are stuck in the mail. I don;t want to wear the same old bathing suit AGAIN!!! oh well.

Oh so on a happy note - now that I am a DIAMOND hyatt member - guess what they give me during my stay? I hope you guessed it! A BANANA!! And an orange and apples but hello - my bananas are finally here! AND they gave me a half bottle of some wine made exclusively for the hotel. How special do I feel?!

I am in preschool

I just got reprimanded by the mean coworker for being too loud at the client office. Is it my fault that I have a voice that carries?! I hate working at an office that is just dead silent and you are afraid to make a single noise. I am pissed because he of all people has a pretty freaking deep loud voice when he gets going on one of his rants and raves about something stupid. Here is an example of what an ass he is...at dinner he is talking about how some girls he was workign with or something were skanks. And I am just like - dude don't freaking call them that - I mean the girls he were talking about were not at all what one would classify as skank. Anyway - I think he uses this term quite loosely and I am just like - your freaking tranlsation skills are not working because you do not casually call a woman that term and he is like Oh I am so much smarter than you americans, I know everything blah blah blah. Ass.

Had a lovely dinner last night! I braved it and tried the tilapia again even though I was served a crap dish last time - and it was great!! go fish:)

so speaking with another coworker that is a foreigner - he was trying to explain to me how americans lack culture. I think I agree but I don't quite grasp what it means to have culture. In essence it is part knowledge of the history of the world, art & architecture in the city...stuff like that right? and yeah I suck at history but I do embrace other cultures so am I still uncultured???

countdown

whoo hoo it is my bday this week and I going to get tan in vegas and I get bday presents!! rock on!:)

so my lovely yoga class is ending the end of this month:( such a bummer since I heart the class. I am staying at the hyatt this week and lemme tell ya it makes such a big difference staying at a NICE hotel! Ugh - I hate hotels that have cloth furniture. who knows what nasties have sat on those things!

I ordered a bathing suit online last week so I hope it gets here in time so I don;t have to wear my like 10 year old suit.

My sister is back from spain and she had a marvelous time. That is definitely one place I would love to check out. MAC and I are going to try and hit up puerto rico this year for our first vacation!!! Then next year we are going to peru with my sister and dad and checking out machu pichu finally!

Oh and I am thinking long term carreer plan = professional dog walker. I love dogs. And supposedly accupuncture might be the cure for my allergies. Heard of 2 true stories already...I think it is worth giving it a shot.

smarty pants

I am so smart - I mean really:) so follow up to my post yesterday. first I talked to some IT guy that was clueless. So then I went to the IT office to have them save my inbox...and they said they could do nothing for me - it was GONE!!! I have such a hard time believing that you can;t recover something that was permanently deleted cuz really - your computer doesn;t permanently delete anything! So I am moping around all day..dealing with my loss well but still sad. So I am playing around with outlook cuz I was trying to change some setting and lo and behold I saw an option to recover deleted items. I have undone a delete before but never for an item I have permanently deleted. So I give it a shot and it opens up this folder with a bunch of emails I had permanently deleted over the past week!!! The exciting part was that there was a button to recover all the items!!! So as I hypothosized - there were like 45 emails all deleted yesterday at noon!!! I WAS SAVED!!! So how is it that two different IT offices could do nothing for me and I figured this out on my own huh??!!!

SO I went to a brazilian restaurant last night with the whole team. Holy crap that was some good food...and a LOT of it. this place was totally meat lovers heaven. It was like a buffet where they just keep on bringing out meat items fresh off the burner and cut pieces off for you right at the table!! I ate SOOOO much meat! every kind possible too - steak, chicken, veal, turkey! This morning I felt damn gross though. I hope we don;t go back any time soon!

shift delete

I am so pissed right now. Not only did I recently get out of a 3 hour meeting that was so completely pointless because someone I am working with is lame - but my ENTIRE inbox is gone. Now I have personal folders where I file emails so all that is good but my inbox was full of items that I needed to take action on - hence I left them in the main folder. Somehow I managed to move or delete the entire folder. IT over the phone was useless so I went to the office nearby and as luck has it I was 3 minutes late because doors close at 5. So now I am stuck having nightmares about the lost emails. I don;t remember what the hell was in there - probably like 70 emails or something. I feel so lost and helpless and this really hits home that i need to back up files and crap. Can you imagine if you lost your computer??? hell I tell you. But funny thing is end of the day everything is probably replaceable or not needed...I mean does life end after a computer loss? I think not.

kids are gross

I am fascinated by the show "the nanny". Had room service last night so I could actually watch some tv. I realize the premise of the show is to have NASTY mean dirty evil little kids run amuck and have the parents sit back in despair since they can;t control their kids. Totally disgusting how these kids cry and have tantrums and are seriously evil creatures. And what is super dooper scary is that this can happen to anyone! I mean how do you know what it takes to be a good parent? What if you do everything you think is necessary to raise a good kid and you fail?? Then it is your fault that your kid is going to be a loser!

oh and on the news - studies show that parents treat their more attractive kids better than the less attractive kids. I am curious how the examiners judged the attractiveness levels of kids. Is there a general standard to define a good vs average looking kid? what happened to beauty is in the eye of the beholder?! weird.

I totally did a half head stand today - I can't wait to actually hit a full head stand!

so unfair

After arriving in Denver at like midnight the last thing I wanted to do this morning was wake up early to hit the gym. However, yoga is a powerful motivator and I did not want to miss out on my monday class. After 4.5 hours of sleep I made it out of bed, ran over to the gym and starting taking off my shoes and socks to prep for class. I am sure you know where this story is headed...the teacher "slept in" so class was canceled. I was livid - soooo unprofessional. The gym should have a standby to prevent these situations from happening. I mean flat out just not ok for instructors to bail on class. This has already happened to me once so the fact that it appears to be an acceptable practice is very frustrating. Anyway - I didn;t have proper socks on to run so I hit the elliptical. Then I went back to the hotel, slept another hour and arrived to work close to 10 - OUCH!

Weekend was just too short. It sucked not being able to see MAC on thurs night and we barely hung out on fri since he got back from tahoe that night. I did however have a great time seeing you all at happy hour - and just to clear any confusion - I do not go around making happy hour plans when MAC is away! I actually had a coworker from LA in town and wanted her to meet my friends but then she ended up stuck at some other bar so oh well!

Sat was a nice day - ran some errands, watched some TV and drank some modestly priced wine. MAC and I have not been able to track down our Palio at trader joes so we are pissed!

Sun did some Forever 21 shopping. I cannot believe the size of that store - and the ceilings are gorgeous! didn;t get too much - some belts that I am pretty excited to wear:) La Sassy did much better with some really cute tops.

I hope I can make it through this day - I have an "Adrenaline" drink right next to me in case I need some external help staying awake!
