ok, so since march 16th i've been up to...

ha are you crazy? who wants to read the boring happenings of my life? ...apparently YOU do, reader! but ill spare you (and me- from writing) old news since then

so im in chicago this week bc the client that im now working for in madison, wi doesn't want to pay for us to travel in and out and back in then back out of madison. makes sense. so im here. working in the AON building. its nice working in our office for a change- and esp. during this time of year where the taste is just a street away from me

i miss the city, and should make more of an effort to do things downtown and visit friends down here while its nice out. tuesday is going to be fun. im going to work, eat dinner somewhere down here, then come back to the 26th floor to watch the fireworks- or maybe ill just come back up to see how a million gathered people look from a birds eye view! that should be cool! i think id rather watch the fireworks from outside though... to hear the loud booms and cheering from the people.

(can you tell i have extra time waiting for my ride to pick me up?) i took the train in today which i can expense, but then cabbed it to the office which was a whopping $9!!! sheesh! so instead of cabbing it back to the train station... im getting a ride? i know... it doesn't make sense when my ride is paying for gas trying to pick/drop me off... but at least its not MY $$$? haha anyWHO....

let's see... what else can i babble about?
i learned how to bake a chocolate fudge double layered chocolate banana cake

i cant wait to play jai ali at phil and candys house this weekend

i went to a squid bbq/family get together at my titos last night and stuffed myself silly after a long fast from "bad food" the previous week

i cant wait to (hopefully) see corinnie head when she comes into chicago tomorrow night

i sat by a man on the train today who was reading a bible that was so worn that the pages were sort of gone (the side of the page not the binding side- half a column would be missing) and i wondered if he knew what he was really reading or if he was just faking the funk

i hung out with some old friends at sushi samba and it was SO deliciously fun. i really love sushi

i hung out with some great friends the other night at Hoot-Hooters to celebrate dexter's new job! good laughs as always!

i found out that Trista is doing a 10 hour dance a thon! (please donate $10 to help her fundraise for the youth)

YES! time to leave the office finally! its sooOooOOoOOo nice out!

sighhhhh. it's 10:25pm. i'm so tired. fatigued.
today was a long day. it actually feels like i haven't slept for the whole week. that kind of tired.
i've had 7:30 morning meetings for the past week at work and it sucked so much. i usually go into work around 8:30a/9a so waking up "early" was just terrible.

so this morning i got up extra early bc i had to check out of the hotel and make the 7:30 meeting. i got to the office 10 minutes early even. i was so so tired and i had to pretend that i was sunshine bc it was our client's birthday. that was tiring. :-| then she told me that there was no meeting at 7:30. it was moved to 8:30.

that made me even MORE tired/mad. gosh. ive never yaned so much in one day i think.

the afternoon was a bit better. we had birthday cake and broke a unicorn pinata.
i left early at 4:30 to go to a doctors appt. i had to rush in from bloomington hoping there was no traffic. during the ride home my dad called and i turned into a help desk. my dad is sort of technology challenged... he's probably at the level of a third grader. he had files on a flash drive that he wanted to access. so it took FORever to explain to him how to find the flash drive on his machine. it was so painful. i had to tell him what an icon was.

and he wouldnt listen to my directions - he would try his own ways THEN ask me again what to do bc it didnt work. an hour later...

i ran into traffic. my appt was in 40 minutes and i was exactly 40 minutes out. i reached home dropped my stuff off and raced to the doctor's office for the 7p appt. got there 10 minutes late to find that it was going to be delayed 20 minutes... it was 9:25p when he walked into the room just to look at this skin-blemish-thing on my leg and say that everything is fine, it's nothing and that it should fade away very soon. that was all of 4 minutes then i was let go.

i finally get home at 9:50p.read my mail. i was even too tired to READ! isn't THAT strange? has anyone ever felt that? too tired to finish a letter. that is so terrible. i havent eaten since 1p and like always there's nothing at my house. i'm too tired to go back out, so ramen minus the seasoning plus two slices of kraft cheese equals dinner. i feel like a zombie and i think i look like a racoon. great.

im so tired and i thought id share... to make others feel tired as well? i dont know. i just can't sleep now. might as well update xanga?

Ah! here we go! my eyes are closing!

YUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!
i just got my wallet stolen tonight! arghhhhhhhh!!!

yuuuuck! im so mad! i just renewed my license! ugh!!!! and there was actual money in there- i Never carry cash. YUCK! granted it was only $24 but that could have been a sale shirt at the GAP or a really good meal! My credit card and debit/atm card-- gone. UUUUGH! so i lost it tonight at one of the greatest restaurants- HOOTERS.

once i noticed it was gone i quickly canceled my cards. when i got home tonight i again called the bank and chase and asked if there were any charges made tonight and checked my balances--

and i find out that the scum bags that took my wallet had tried to withdraw $1000 with my credit card at Target, and when it was declined they tried Walmart. Those lousy jerks were able to withdraw $2000 from my debit card before it got declined, however. AAAAAAAARGHHHHHH!!!!!

and i know that i will get that back in 7-10 business days (so the man at lasalle says) but i have to leave for bloomington tomorrow and stay for the week and pay for a hotel room... without a credit card... YUUUUCKS!!!

ok ill stop... i guess it could have been much more than $2000...

on the upside... gene said that he'd get me a purse so that it won't happen again! ... buuut i have enough purses... so he said at least a wallet. and i'll take it!! i've been wanting a new one anyway.

awesome weekend indeed!

this weekend i served on a campus based exert retreat. i haven't served campus based YFC for 4 years- and coming back felt SO good.

like others im sure, i came to the retreat on friday with some baggage (something happened friday at work that made my baggage even heavier) and i was wondering if i could even let it all go for just the weekend.

then the retreat started. the team had a worship and with the first song we sang i felt like crying (...or was that those onions again???...) because when we were singing i felt like God had taken away EVERYthing that i was worrying about away in an INSTANT! in that worshipi i felt like He was saying "ha! you see! you see how easy it is for me to take things away that keep you from me? I can make anything possible! See how easy it is to be close to Me? What you worried about is NOTHING compared to My Love! Just let me take over."

it was so amazing!

campus based YFC are so inspiring... they are SO passionate and full of zeal to serve the Lord and evangelize to people they don't even know. they are SO bold! the pain that they shared with all of us shows how deeply they love the Lord and how commited they are to Him. i remember how it was 4 years ago... sadly i haven't been AS strong/bold in my service since then. i have been caught up in my job and other things that i've become so relaxed in my prayer time and service. but staying the weekend at exert was a GREAT wakeup call!!! it's just what i needed!

and its always SO great to serve with the same people that you served with years ago. it was GREAT serving with you all again! it brought back alot of great memories! thanks for the inspiration!i love knowing that my greatest friends are rooted in Christ!

RANDOM THINGS:

Phil and Candy got me a Sodoku/Scrabble 2 in 1 game which lowered my self esteem bc i lost against trista and erik like in 2 minutes. losing at your OWN game sucks. thanks guys.
i guess i won at "who snores the loudest over the guys" sheesh, another low point. thanks for letting me know keisha.
dead rat. wow. BIG blow... thanks candy.
the bears making it to the superbowl after 21 years!!! i love you lovie.
