Since I am home, I thought I might post a little update, heaven forbid, I know.  We met our deadline at work WOOT.  It wasn't as bad as the previous months, I think I am finally starting to get into the groove of things.  Of course just in time for us to begin using a completely new system and the biggest deadline of the year.  Perfect.

I am going to do some Christmas shopping... ok actually all of my Christmas shopping tonight and tomorrow.  I have never in my life been this bad.  And I hate crowds.  What was I thinking?

Brianna is at the Vet right now with my Mom.  Poor little girly.  She is going to hate me when she gets home.  Of course I didn't take her in, Victor did.  He said when he came back home, Meowser and Keegan were looking at him like they stole her and they wouldn't even come near him.  That's funny!

For my usual spiel, I am going to attempt to clean this house yet again over another holiday weekend.  We will see how this one goes.  I am flat out exhausted.  I am about half tempted to crawl in bed and not wake up again for a week or so.  Would be nice.

I wish my life were more interesting.  I have nothing good to post.  Happy Holidays everyone!

Office Christmas party today.  Wish it was next Friday considering we are working all next week... just doesn't feel very Christmas-y.  Besides there's a deadline on the 20th.  We did at $10 secret santa.  I bought my person a gift card to Bath & Body Works.  I honesstly had no idea what to get her.  She is the person who took my place, etc.  Don't know her very well.

I am not ready for Chritmas at all.  I haven't gotten all my gifts yet.  I'm kind of dreading it actually.  I miss my Dad so much, and this is just going to be hard to handle.  Thanksgiving went OK, but I've been really depressed the past couple of weeks... I just wish I could give him a hug and talk to him again.  It sounds so silly and childish, but I wish he would come and visit me like a guardian angel or something.  I wonder what he's doing, what he's thinking about.  I wonder if he misses me and wishes he was still here.  I have to believe in Heaven because sometimes, that's the only thing that keeps me going.  Knowing I will see him again one day.

I have been married a little over a month now.  I don't really notice much of a difference, mainly because life has been so chaotic since we got married.  I wish we got a week off from work for Christmas or something like that, just to relax and breathe again.  The apartment is an absolute disaster... it's looks like remains from a horrible storm.  It's so sad.  I just flat out don't have the energy to clean.

I'm going to chop my hair off sometime in the near future.  I want to straighten it and then get it cut super short (not like a boy cut or anything).  I'm tired of trying to deal with the disaster on my head.  It will be a nice change, I hope.

I have started so many blogs its not even funny.  I start them early in the day, save them for later, and then I never come back to them at home.  I am trying to stay off the computer at home because I have an internet obsession and it prevents me from doing homework, work, etc.  Besides, I'm on a computer all day at work, so I really don't need to mess around with one at home unless its necessary.

So I'm a married woman now.  I got married on November 10th at the Justice of the Peace.  It was a nice ceremony, nothing too big or fancy.  I had a dress, he was in nice clothes, and it all worked out perfectly.  I wish my Dad could have been there, but I tried really hard not to think about that.  My Mom was there, his Mom was there and our 2 friends were there.  Afterwards, we went and stayed at a hotel in Downtown Dallas for 2 nights.  Hotel Lawrence is absolutely wonderful.  Nothing big or fancy, but the staff is great and we had a good time.  That night we had a fancy dinner at Dakota's Steakhouse, it was delicious.  The next evening his Mom and her boyfriend took us all out for dinner at Campisis.  It was good, even if I wasn't in the Italian mood.  They are sending us on a trip to Vegas, so that's exciting!  We are probably going to go at the end of May, so we have time.

We are also looking into buying house in May as well.  The lease at the apartment will be up, and hopefully we will have saved enough money to afford one.  We are looking at the HEB area, it will be a long drive for me, but houses are much more affordable out there as opposed to Dallas county.  I am super excited about the prospect of owning a home.  I love interior decorating so that just gets me all giddy with excitement.  There is so much I could do to a house!  Of course he would rather have a car, but I'm sure I can persuade him.  I think a house is fundamentally more important right now than a new car.  I know its his job to work on cars, but all good things come to those who wait!

Lets see, what else interesting is going on in my life?  I am sick right now.  About as sick as I have been in awhile.  People don't even want me here at work today.  I doubt I'm still contagious, I just feel like crap.  I really wanted to stay home, but I decided a paycheck is important.  I like my job, don't get me wrong.  I usually have to make quite a few phone calls and so far that has proved pretty hard this morning.  Its so hard to talk right now.  And I sniff and cough like crazy... poor people.  They probably will get so lost with my sick sounds they will completely forget while I called, or why they called.

So I updated.  Hopefully I will manage more of that in the future.  Sorry I've been away so long, I am just going through a "growing up" stage in my life and its very hard to find time for anything anymore.

I know I haven't updated in millenniums.  There has been WAY TOO MUCH drama going on here at work and elsewhere so I thought I might actually need to keep my mouth shut for once.

I hope all is well in xanga-land, I know I have few readers now, my own fault, but I miss those carefree days of blogging.  Hopefully I will return sooner rather than later!

Well, I promised I'd update, and I have quite a few interesting things to blab about tonight.

First, and most importantly, once again, our wedding day has been changed.  We will now be getting married on November 10th.  I am so excited, but nervous and stressed at the same time!  I also wish we didn't have to stay in my small horrid apartment.  I would much rather move somewhere else, preferably a nice little house.

Earlier today we went and bought a bed!  Our first purchase together!!  I know, I'm so cheesy, but I'm so excited.  It's a great mattress, plus we were able to afford a beautiful wood frame.  Last night I registered for bed clothes that I think are beautiful, hopefully we get those.

The plan is to get hitched that Monday, either at a JP or some other place, and then just hang out with folks for awhile after.  Food and good people, should be fun!  Then we are going to head to a hotel for two nights, our honeymoon, and get back to the real world.  It sucks that we can't have a big nice honeymoon, but we're hoping for a Las Vegas trip in May of next year.

On another interesting note, a girl from my work got fired on Thursday.  It needed to be done, she was a waste of space and way more trouble than she was worth.  But I personally can't help but feel sorry for her a bit.  She just doesn't have what it takes, in many ways, to be a successful business woman.  I don't suppose I should go into detail, I could get in some big trouble.

I'm also very tired right now, which is more reason for me not to go into detail on anything.

I promised I'd update by Sunday, and see, I did.  Hopefully I can get back into the habit of doing this!
