: )

How come keeping one apartment clean is a full-time job for me? I already have one, thanks very much. Ridiculous, I tell you. And I don't want to hear one word about maids and Rose-Hulman.

So, my cubicles and chairs are Steelcase office furniture. Isn't that cool???? I'm supporting my brother's business, as you can see. ;) I was crawling around under my chair trying to find the name, but I got it! Entertaining for my coworkers, I'm sure.

I'm no good at planning for dinner. I started thawing the chicken way too late. Guess it's yogurt and crackers for a meal tonight! Mm mm good.

Later!

Homesick

I think an empty apartment is a sad thing to come home to.

I miss you guys. I'll see you in August. :)

Short and Sweet, Just Like Me

Look! It's me wielding a shovel! And a house that's taking up way too much of the picture. Focal point = me.














We had a fun/hot day building houses for Habitat for Humanity. There's more pictures but I don't feel like posting them. :)

Aaaand, I feel TONS better, thanks a lot for everyone that pitched in. I really appreciate it.

21 days of CAT left, and then I'm back in preseason. Wooooohoooooo! Who's pumped about this season? That'd be me.

I'm going to go be domestic now. Yikes. Later everybody! (oh and check out Meyer's castle online, those of you connected to Jo-B...sheeeeeeminee. that's pretty)

I'm Famous

Happenings in Decatur-land...

I was on the Decatur news! Yup, WANDtv. I'm trying to ward off the mobs of autograph-hungry fans by hiding in a somewhat run-down apartment and developing nasty diseases. That'll teach them! So, the Caterpillar motor grader team worked on some Habitat for Humanity houses this past Saturday. Yours truly was caught on camera wielding a shovel. :) Fun stuff. I should have pictures to show you all soon.

Also, I seem to have gotten on the bad side of ill recently. I don't know what happened, but I began to notice a pain and swelling in my side and some unnatural bleeding. I went to the doctor...scary stuff, I felt like a little kid playing grown-up, let me tell you. The nurse guy calmed me down though. :) I like him. Anyways, I'm on some medication now that seems to be helping, woohoo! I'll be back in black and scampering around work and the gym in no time. The clinic did manage to toss out my urine sample before getting it tested, however. Ah yes, the competency of Decaturville-ians loses none of its potent reputation.

Side note: my pee is now ORANGE cuz of the meds, how cool is that??? Aaaand, my boyfriend is wonderful and deserves like 3 gold stars or something. He takes care of me and I kind of like it. I'm skipping work today and I get to see my lovely family in just a few short hours! Thanks for all of the help my scattered family members gave me yesterday, I was kind of a basket-case. You're all the best!

Lots Is Not the Same

I no longer have a roommate. It's a long story, but between one incompetent HR lady and an issue with cockroaches, Emily and I were moved to new apartments, separate ones. I like having the freedom back, but I miss having the company. We still hang out and stuff, but nighttime is a little scary once again. Maybe if it wasn't such a shady neighborhood...

I got recommended for a full-time position at CAT! That doesn't really mean I have a job, I still have to be chosen for an interview and all that, but it's a step in the right direction. Work is going pretty well; I am now almost through my seventh week, which means I have five weeks left of work.

Volleyball starts sooner than ever! I'm a little frustrated because my running times have gone up. I have been focusing a lot on lifting and not on running, so now I need to balance those better. I have five weeks to get my butt in gear!

I miss everyone and hope to see you over volleyball season at a game or two. If not, I'll definitely see you after the season at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Love you guys!
