So it's been a dreadfully long time since I could update last, but, I have big news.
I am 3 months pregnant.
Yep, not a typo, I'm actually having a baby. Weird, huh?
Other than that though I'm starting school this month, and really looking forward to it. Even though I'm going to have to suffer through mostly GE classes, I'm excited about being in a learning environment again. It will be a nice change from working all day long.
Funny, right now I'm more excited about school than the baby. I know that will change, it just seems still so...unreal.
Things are good though. Really good. Yay! |

I'm going to attend summer school. I want to take at least 2 classes. I have absolutely no idea what to take.
Any suggestions? |

Okay, so scratch the previous entry about the place in Irvine.
We have signed paper work and are moving to a place in Costa Mesa on the 16th.
Holy shit that's soon.
It's a cool place though. It's a town home, so the bedrooms are upstairs and the living room, kitchen, and dining room are downstairs. It's pretty chill; it has a front patio and a back yard, a fireplace, a down stairs guest bathroom, and a little creek in front of the house.
Both bedrooms have private bathrooms and walk in closets; but it does not have a washer and dryer in the unit. Still, it's cute and well priced. Plus there's a big fitness center and plenty of parking. I think we will be quite happy in our little home.
Yay. |

So it looks like we might actually have our own place by the end of April. I can't believe it. We committed to a deadline and it looks like we're gonna make it for once. Right on.
It's a two bedroom (as were moving in with Andrew's cousin Sabrina) in Irvine. Close to the Marketplaces and all of our jobs; quiet but a young crowd. LOTS of trees. So cute, when Sabrina and I went on a tour we bought lemonade from a kid selling it at a booth outside. I've always wanted to live somewhere besides my parents neighborhood where they do that.
The place itself is really big and has a very airy feel to it. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the apartment, which is obviously a must. Andrew's and my room is the bigger of the two, but doesn't have the bathroom attached, like Sabrina's. It's not a hassle though, because the bathroom is just outside the door to our room. Both rooms come with mirrored closet doors, which is a feature I adore.
The kitchen has a lot of counter space, and a counter that faces out to the living room. It also comes with a fridge, and has gas stoves. I refuse to cook with out a gas stove anymore. I know, roll you eyes.
We have a big deck off the living room with sliding glass doors, a fire place, and it's on the 2nd floor which makes it a little more safe feeling. Oh, and a brand new washer and dryer in the unit and a 24 hour fitness center in the complex. It's nice too, I scoped it out.
The more I remember it the more I'm excited about it. A house warming party is definitely going to be in order. |

For those of you who didn't yet know....Arrow 93.1 FM died on March 17th at 5:00 pm. Replaced by JACK FM, Arrow enjoyed a 12 year run, taking over the station in 1993. The new JACK plays a blend of classic rock, disco, 80's and early 90's.
I'm wary.
I miss my Arrow.
-------------------
In rememberance, an ode to a good friend:
So long Uncle Joe, and your Five o' Clock Free Rides,
Good night Nick Luna, thanks for the lullabies.
Jonny B, I harldy knew thee
Maggie McKay, I wish you would stay.
Arrow 93, you truly pierced my heart.
Arrow 93, I loved you from the start.
-------------------
This means no Arrowfest this year. Suddenly my autograph from Sherri Donovan seems worth so much more.
Thanks for the sing alongs, the rock block weekends and the jams.
Thanks for the memories man. |

 | You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. You neither believe nor disbelieve in God. You don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).
Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

So life in the OC is back in full swing again.
I'm working full time at a mediocre job. I make mediocre pay and the people I work with are mediocre idiots.
Andrew and I work together now, which has it's advantages and it's disadvantages. Carpooling is sweet. Spending every waking minute together is tiresome. All though he just started a second night job, so that gives me some time to clear my head.
Actually, things are really good with he and I. Better than they were this time last year, definitely. Curious thing though, my ex boyfriend from my sophomore year at high school has been emailing me.
It's kind of nice as I've often wondered how he's been, but always leaves me feeling rather like my life hasn't gone anywhere. It's time I started school again. For real this time. I'm tired of being stuck in a crappy hourly job, I should have a career already.
Yes, it's time. |

9 days until I begin my journey back to California. I can not wait.
I already have a job lined up for when I get home, so now I just need to focus on getting an apartment and looking into starting school. Hopefully I can finish my insurance agent classes before I have to enroll though, so I can be working and going to shcool at the same time.
I think things are looking up.
So long as I don't aquire too much more debt (other than rent) I should be in good shape to be saving within the next few months.
Then I can plan my big expensive trip to Europe and be totally broke again.
Bliss. |

The prepartaions for my move home are under way.
I have secured a trailer and hitch from U-haul so we can travel back in Andrews car, and have notified my land lord and my job.
I'm a friggin stress ball!
I'm going to have to pay for an additional 3 months rent upon quitting the apartment, which blows majorly. Luckily the cost of the trailer wasn't exorbinant and my last pay check should be ample to support all these costs. Still, it would have been nice to have the extra money, instead of paying it towards an apartment I won't even be living in.
My job wants me to stay within the company, but I told them I would want to transfer back to another department. Something less stressful, please.
Oye. I'm a mess. |

Tomorrow I drive home to enjoy the holiday with my fam.
Andrew and I are going to leave tomorrow afternoon\night to be home around the 25th or 26th. We'll be driving the southern route via New Mexico and Arizona. I'm looking forward to it as I've never been through NM or northern AZ.
Then I fly home the 28th to all by my lonesome. We'll see how much I enjoy my Hooiser lifestyle once I'm alone every night.
I'm filling out an application to go on Survivor. I need to figure out how to make a video fast. Should be good times.
Happy holidays to all. |

So. I'm a Hoosier now.
Been here about 3 weeks. BIG apologies to anyone I didn't get to see before I left (Stephanie, that means especially you) My family decided to bogart all my time before I hit the road. Not that I blame them.
Not a lot has happened since I moved. My Great Grandmother passed away my first weekend here, so I ended up going to Chicago for her funeral my second week on the job. That was my first funeral and they asked me to be a pall bearer. It was quite the emotional overdose. The one good thing that came of it is that my cousin Jamie and I exchanged email address's and have been keeping in touch since. Oh and I got to see my Mom, Sis, Uncle and Aunt, which was nice.
Work's going okay. I started off really disliking my manager, but I've had a chance to figure her out a bit more lately and she's not so bad. I do hate Gwendolyn, evil-fake-demon-from-Hell, but oh well. That just spices things up.
Andrew is still looking for a job, but hopefully he will have an interview with Safeco next week, and then I will get a $750.00 referral bonus, which would be SWEET. I just hope we don't end up in the same department, because that may up be more Andrew than I can handle.
For anyone who has not driven across country yet, stop what you're doing and go NOW! That was the single most awesome experience I've had, to date. When we got to Indy I didn't want to stop. Kerouac's On the Road really hit home after that.
Hopefully I'll be posting pics of the drive and life in Indianapolis soon.
Peace out yal. |

In lew of the quiz below I counted the number of men I've slept with in the past few months. 4. 4 men in appx 3 months.
Two of which I actually maintained "meaningful" relationships with. The other two were named Joe. Weird.
I've often thought that I couldn't get by without being in a relationship. Now I think I just maintain relationships so I have one constant person to have sex with. So why didn't that plan work these past few months? Because the relationships were smothering and the sex was mediocre.
I should disgust myself, but you know...I really don't. In fact, I have no remorse what so ever.
C'est la vie, I suppose. |

Which Sex and the City Player Are You? Find out @ She's Crafty
You're lustful and power-driven, unabashed and unafraid, you'll try anything once.
There is very little you will shy away from, you'll grab every opportunity, be it in the bedroom or the boardroom. You want to be Someone. Capital S. You love luxury and decadence and don't believe there should be any guilt in pleasure. You see what you want, you take it. Do now, ask questions later. Or maybe just skip the question-asking altogether ...
You do have quite the tendancy to be aloof and detached, verging on cold. You like to play with men, not date them. You have no intention of getting married. You think that guys should just go away quietly when you're done with them and quit trying to start relationships with you. You're just not the relationship kind. At least not now.
Inspite of your (sometimes questionable) treatment of men (although, some could call it fair play) you are as fiercly loyal and supportive of your friends as they are of you and that's what's really important. Samantha quotes:
"You've got to get online, honey. If only for the porn."
"There's not enough wall space in New York City to hang all my exes, but let me tell you, a lot of them were hung."
"What am I supposed to say? "Hi, this is my lesbian lover. And p.s.: I'm done with dick"?" |

i've been in a funky mood. i'm sure it's due to the fact that i'm going to be moving across the country in about 2 weeks. but still, i'm not usually in a funk. i don't know how to describe it. i think it's also in large part due to the fact that andrew and i are back together (and he's moving across the country with me) and i've neglected to tell that bit of information to my roomate or family. yeah, that's probably not helping things. why must i insisit in making everything so friggin hard for myself??? basta! |

Well, my trip to Indy got extended for another week so I just got home last Friday. I had a blast and was very impressed with the new office out there.
So impressed, in fact, that I'm moving out there at the end of October.
Come November I'll be an official Hoosier.
Whoa. |

I will be going to Indianapolis this Sunday and will return the following Friday. I am being sent by my company to assist in opening a new call center there. I'm fairly excited as this will be my first big kid business trip. I'm also fairly nervous as I will be flying alone and will have my own room at the hotel there. This is pretty important considering it shows what faith my company has in me, and also the level of responsibility they expect me to step up to. I'm not too worried about how I will preform as I feel competent in my work. None the less, being that it's my first opportunity to show what I'm capable of I'm feeling a fair amount of nervousness.
I doubt anyone reading this is overly concerned with the affairs of my job, but if nothing else this journal serves the purpose of me putting my thoughts down so I can stop brooding over them. Have a good week everyone. |
