Half way through the work week

Wednesday, finally a day where I got to sleep in on a week day. Monday and Tuesday I’ve been waking up at 6:30AM or so. Something my body doesn’t really like, and I’m especially not a morning person. Wednesdays used to be my early days, since we usually have staff meetings but that’s been cut down to just bi–weekly meetings. Awesome. This week has been really messed up. Let me detail it out for you lol…

Monday: wake up reeeeeally early and go to Chiropractor across the street from my apartment for 7:30. Get a ride to work with a co–worker who also frequents the chiro. We arrive at work at 8:00. I work until 6:00 to make up some hours that I took off in late October.

Tuesday: Wake up somewhat later than previous day. Same co-worker (such a sweet older man) picks me up from my apartment so I don’t have to take a two hour bus ride to our Professional Development Day at another location other than work.

Wednesday: Back to my normal routine of waking up at 8:00AM and getting into work at a regular time. Successsss.

I’ve been reminiscing and going through old photo albums that I had on my photo page. Somehow, over half of my photos have been removed, and I see that the albums are now ’empty’. I e–mailed Pbase about it, but since I only had trial accounts they decided to delete and purge all of them. Thankfully, BFF may have a backup and might send me some old 2003/2004 photos. That’s the reason why they were stored ONLINE — so I wouldn’t lose them, and look what happens. This is the second time that Pbase has done this to me in a matter of a few months. Unnecessary drama folks!!

When I get enough motivation, I’m definitely going to go through all 400 million of my albums and save them onto a CD and maybe buy a Flickr account.

Sigh. Memories are gone.

Home Theater!

Hiccups? Non–existent!

I don’t think I’ve ever written about boyfriends amazing projector, for watching movies and playing PS3. We’ve got the luxury right now, sitting in front of an enormous screen with a fabulous set of leather couches for maximum comfort. Perhaps, too comfortable. (If that’s even possible!) Anytime we rent a movie, it’s usually past 10:30/11:00PM anyway, and by the time we’re about to watch it, I’m already in my PJs with my teeth brushed and retainer all in. 5 minutes into the movie? I’m out like a light. Either we need uncomfortable seating to keep me awake, or start movies earlier in the evenings so I’m not yawning before it all starts.

Now, occasionally I can sit up and watch a movie. The other night we watch 3:10 to Yuma and I thought it was one of the better movies I have ever seen. We haven’t seen a movie in the theater room in a while. Last night I was watching him play NHL09 on PS3. It’s pretty neat, you’re not playing all the time, so sometimes you the player have to sit on the bench and watch your team mates play. Pretty realistic actually.

Rock Band (lol) is also set up in the theater room. I’m pretty wild on those drums. Vocals too in fact. I never did care much for the guitar though. I think I’ll be playing some drums tonight. I’m in that kind of a mood…

Supper has been digested, now it’s time for relaxation and maybe rock out for a bit. :)

Snip snip

As you can see in the ‘before’ photos, I look much happier. I got my hair cut yesterday, thought it doesn’t look like much is cut off, there is. It’s not something I spent my money on, on a regular basis. Last time I posted about my hair cut back in August, and I was long overdue back then. It was my first time going to this new salon that just opened up in the city. I’ll totally be going back to the owner who cut and dyed my hair back then. I’m a fan of male hair stylists who like long hair on women, as he is. The dye didn’t hold up long when I had it done in August, mainly because I think my hair is damaged beyond repair? I don’t know…but I probably won’t let them do it again until I have a bit more extra income since that crap is expensive! He mentioned that my hair was fried. Of course it’s fried, I’m an idiot and only whip out the flat iron whenever I need a trim, trying to save money and not go to a salon. So instead, I wait like 10 weeks until my hair is damaged, get a hair cut and be disgusted at how short it has to be in the front due to me having full access to it in the mornings. I mean, I rarely straighten what I can’t see (the back)….and the back is so much longer, and healthier. Why do I do that to myself? So my hair stylist totally convinced me to either stop straightening my hair or buy Aveda Brilliant to mix in with my smoothing serum. I opted for the latter, of course. Why must my hair be weak and thin? I need to take a pledge or something and make myself not straighten it. Who’s going to slap my hand when I break the rules though?

It’s been a really productive weekend. Saturday morning I got up semi–early (9:30) and got myself ready for my hair cut. Came home, decided that I’d be a bitch and take up all five of the washers downstairs to do six loads of laundry. Hopped on facebook for a while, and noticed my brother figured out how to upload photos!

We finally got around to getting the darn air conditioner out of the window. Every morning we wake up, it’s enough to freeze the boobs right off ya. We’ve been putting it off because neither of us wanted to go on the balcony where the wasps nest was. I think they’re dead now…

Today…was commenced with more cleaning, while blasting amazing feel good music. It was much needed, we tidied up a lot, and put away old things that we he never uses. We’ve been cleaning all day, and even though it’s only four o’clock… I’m taking a break and writing this entry. As is he, with sleeping on the newly cleaned sheets.

Sundays are the best.
