I actually got here early, at 6:45. How sick is that?! That means I can leave a few minutes earlier than planned, then. So, the neighbors didn't move out. They are being eerily quiet, though.

My car, Martin, has died. Something about some cylanders? I totally know I spelled that wrong, I deeply apologize. It would be close to a thousand dollars to fix, and the car is only worth not even half that. It has been a good car to me, but I wasn't ready to let it go, not just yet.

When I'm close to you, dear,
The stars fill the sky,
So in love with you am I.
Even without you,
My arms fold about you,
You know darling why,
So in love with you am I.
In love with the night mysterious,
The night when you first were there,
In love with my joy delirious,
When I knew that you could care,
So taunt me,
and hurt me,
Deceive me,
desert me,
I'm yours, shoegirlnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137597.post-1090287449730336802004-07-19T21:35:00.000-04:002004-07-19T21:41:26.743-04:00*Tsk Tsk*

It is finally Friday, after a long but uneventful week. I plan on hopefully having a long and uneventful weekend. I am getting so old. All I want to do on the weekends anymore is relax and water my flowers.
Tonight Charla and I are planning on going to dinner and then to a midnight movie, which we haven't done in a really long time. We are gonna see De Lovely, the new Ashley Judd shoegirlnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137597.post-1089420043525848902004-07-09T20:36:00.000-04:002004-07-09T20:41:12.623-04:00So I was at work yesterday picking something up from the printer and our HR chick likes yells my name across the room. She then comes over and tells me that the night before she was driving home at like 7:30 and was listening to the radio and heard them dedicate a song to "Juliana from (insert company name here)". And then they played a Train song. Okay, first of all, no one calls me by my shoegirlnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137597.post-1089223037937547132004-07-07T13:54:00.000-04:002004-07-07T13:57:17.936-04:00I am on lunch at work. Almost everyone else is out to lunch at some Italian Buffet. I am broke so I couldn't go. So here I am reading the news online and thinking how HOTT John Edwards is. YUM!
Okay, so it's Wednesday. Ummm..I am going to Brandon's on Saturday for his housewarming party. I am making a veggie and cheese tray, as usual. Underrated, yet delicious.

I got my teeth cleaned, which for me is a wonderful experience. I am the only person I know who looks forward to going to the dentist. Of course they love me there because my teeth are always wonderfully clean. Even though I haven't been to the dentist in at least 4 years they still raved about how good my teeth looked. Yeah, I am analshoegirlnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137597.post-1088312254629217582004-06-27T00:57:00.000-04:002004-06-27T01:05:02.680-04:00Oh, new pics of the apartment.

My mom got a good deal on all kinds of flowers for me to put on my cute little area behind the apartment. Some are potted, some need to be planted. And she got me some spiky grass! I wanted some, it's cute. You know, that tall grass..anyway. I will be planting that tomorrow.
We have been grilling like everyday. It's awesome. The apartment is coming together well, almost shoegirlnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137597.post-1087953706900157662004-06-22T21:20:00.000-04:002004-06-22T21:21:46.900-04:00Click here to see pics of my new place!

Geesh. My computer at home wasn't hooked up until like the 18th and I wasn't at the office, I was out at a property for three days last week so I couldn't update on my lunch at work.
Moving went pretty well. We have been unpacking and hanging up pictures every day, slowly. On Friday Geoff's mom called and said she ordered us a grill from shoegirlnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137597.post-1086916678446092882004-06-10T21:13:00.000-04:002004-06-10T21:17:58.446-04:00Well, tomorrow is moving day. We are just about finished packing. A couple more random boxes and we are ready to go. We have a ton of shit! It always seems like more when it's jammed into tons of egg boxes from Kroger. I am so glad I decided to take a half day tomorrow and leave at 12:30. We should be able to get so much more done.
I know I have like, talked about nothing but moving for shoegirlnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137597.post-1086662293733578432004-06-07T22:37:00.000-04:002004-06-07T22:38:13.733-04:00Yeah, I used to think this song was the shit:
Color Me Badd "I Wanna Sex You Up"
Come inside, take off your coat, I'll make you feel at home.
Now let's pour a glass of wine 'cause now we're all alone.
I've been waiting for you girl, just let me hold you close to me,
'Cause I've been dyin' for you girl, to make love to me.
Girl, you make mee feel real good.
We can do it 'til we both wake up.
