Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I posted last. I've been rather obsessed with another live journal site - oh no they didn't. I'm a little celebrity gossip obsessed, and I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm trying desperately to lose weight. Mostly because I hate playing on the o-line and if I don't drop some lbs, I'm going to have to play it again next year (ugh). I would really like to play d end or tight end. I would also like to be able to shop at any store I want to instead of stupid old navy (not that there's anything wrong with them, I would just like to have a little more of an option). We're going to Europe in May and I want to be able to buy cute stuff and also to not have to heave this weight around with me. Pictures last forever, right?

I've been really grumpy recently. For a number of reasons. I'm still unemployed (but temping)...I feel fat...I'm a little irritated with my hubby (he doesn't want our kids to believe in santa for christ's sake!!)...and I REALLY don't like Charlotte. I thought that it would grow on me, but it's been two years and I still want to punch pretty much everyone in the throat.

If it doesn't rain, I'm going to try to go running. hopefully that will pull me out of this funk.

now i have 18 minutes to go.

So here it is...my first, soon to be famous livejournal post. It's nice because I can do this while I'm at work and still appear to be productive. I have a couple of issues to address today:

1) My wedding officiant is not computer literate. Which is fine, but when she's trying to send me our ceremony and the only thing she knows how to use is MS Works, it get's a little old. The wedding is in 10 daays (!) and I still have no idea what this woman is going to say. Which leads me to my next issue....

2) Wedding favors are very labor intensive. I had no idea that it was going to take forever and a day to put together 100 shot glasses filled with m&m's. Actually, the actual insertion of the candy isn't the hard part, it's cutting 1'x 1' pieces of plastic to wrap them in. I think we should have gotten an exacto knife of some sort, but instead we're using the dullest scissors on the face of the earth. So in order to avoid blisters and other bodily harm, I've divided my work into several days of smaller groups.

3) Does anyone else think that ipod headphones are painful? Am I the only one? Maybe my earholes are too small, but something needs to be done because I listen to the thing pretty much all day at work. I think it's stretching the little things in front of my ear canal...what are they called, ear tonsils?

I'm sorry to start out my journal with negativity, but I just needed to get this stuff off of my chest.

My big crush recently has been Zach Braff (Scrubs, Garden State)...anyone who doesn't fall in love with that movie has a heart of stone! It really inspired me to put some of my thoughts down on paper, but I so don't want to be "that person", you know, the screenwriter that's always trying to force their shit on other people - "Read This...PLEASE!".

I think I might have adult ADD...whenever I see that commercial with that lady in the meeting, I totally identify. It irritates the crap out of my husband becuase I kinda expect him to keep up with what's going on in my head and that's impossible.

To Do:
- go to old navy
- go to marshalls
- finish favors (22 to go!)
- mail request for marriage licenses

peace, love, and comfy undies,
