Well Rachel and Randy are off and married! Woo for them!! I could probably write a book on the whole event but I have told the story SO many times so if you weren't lucky enough to be there or hear the story while it was fresh too bad. They leave for Washington DC super early tomorrow. I was thinking they left today but I had it all confused.

This week is finals which is what I should be doing instead of wasting time here. Next week starts new classes which means 12 more weeks till vacation!!!

The weather is crappy today. I am so tired from going non stop all weekend and getting WAY drunk Saturday night. I almost called in today but Renna beat me to it. I get more overtime now since I can't leave for lunch today.

Well I should really start on my finals.......

Well I am moved and settled. I just have some finishing touches, a couple of boxes that have stuff that goes on the walls and on my entertainment center.

So lets go back a bit. Wednesday after my doctor appointment I met up for Nevitt's bday for dinner. Got into a VERY heated conversation with the ex-landlord because I refused to pay my half of May's rent. She told me someone was moving in so we would be ok. Even if she didn't I already told Malloree I wasn't paying and that it was just going to have to come out of her deposit. She wasn't the one that had to put up with all the shit at that place. She was living happy with Jimmy paying for everything. I also thought of this earlier too...she was the one foolish enough to pay the whole deposit in the first place, if she really wants that money she should be talking to Brad...NOT being pissy at me. She doesn't have rent to pay at a new place, no cilco bill, just HER credit cards which is HER own fault. Everything else Jimmy will pay for her just like he has been.

Must be rough is all I have to say. Sorry but I don't depend on people and I refuse to ever do so. It makes me sick the amount of people in this world that have everything handed to them on a silver platter. I am pinching pennies to barely get by AND most people don't have near the medical bills that I have either. I am not saying that for people to feel sorry for me either but some people need to either learn to suck it up and occasionally do without!

Well I feel better. I spent all morning catching up and finished my science class and this is really the first chance I have had to think. I am yet again in the middle of drama with friends, I need to go to mean school. I am way too nice.

I need to be finishing my homework but my head is starting to hurt and I just don't want to do it right now. I finished one class this morning. I have so many shows I need to catch up on too, clear back from middle of April...DVR is starting to get a little full.

I am supposed to go walking with my mom but it's not looking to promising right now. I kind of hope it does rain now, I need to go walk but I am just worn out. I busted my ass all weekend moving and haven't quite recovered yet.

So this weekend is finally the big wedding!!!! I am very excited!!!! We have our pedicures Friday morning and I have a massage right after then we are decorating for the reception and rehersal dinner. Saturday is planned down to the minute from 8am to 7pm. Going to be nuts but I am sure it will all be fun when it's said and done.

Well I have about an hour left here I only have 2 more days of work too...I like only working 3 days a week!

One more day till I start moving if you don't count what's left of today!! I get my keys and such tomorrow right after work. I am really excited!!

I am so sleepy today and the crappy looking weather isn't helping me much. I really pushed myself yesterday with my walking. I have something wrong with my knee and I can't quite figure it out I just know it REALLY hurts. I won't be walking tonight though. I have a doctor appointment at 5 and then getting together for Nevitt's B-day at BW3!!

I have lots that I should be doing...like finishing that project in my Ethics class and I am sure there are some things I need to get done around here since I will be gone Friday and Monday. I am just not looking forward to coming back after being off, I am sure I will have lots to fix as usual.

Well I need to be more productive even though I would rather put my head on my desk and sleep.

Well I got word today that someone is stupid enough to move into my apartment without seeing it. Whatever as long as I can get out of here and not have to pay. So instead of moving the 20th it will be everything the 6th and 7th. I talked to my soon to be landlord and he said mine would be cleaned and painted and done by the 3rd or 4th. I am pretty excited!! After not having hot water here for a few days and dealing with my current landlord who is the dumbest person to walk the face of the earth I am SO ready to get the hell out of here!!!! Another thing I won't miss....sitting at this intersection while I am at my computer especially now with all the motorcycles. I guess Malloree is moving out all her stuff this weekend. It will either go to storage or her moms. I am guessing her moms, then she will keep staying with Jimmy, not pay rent next to nothing in gas, just pay her credit cards. Must be rough. I hate people that have no responsibility and all those people know who you are!!!!

So Saturday was the big party. It was a blast! Dancing and drinking with all my favorite girls!! Then we met up with the guys and things were going grand till one of guards mouthed off to Randy and of course he is WASTED and mouths back and got his ass kicked out. While he is still mouthing and we are trying to get him to the hotel the cops get called, they ended up not doing anything and we all finally got back together and went to the hotel. We all sat around munched on chips and salsa till we one by one passed out. Had the bestest breakfast the next morning...gotta love hotel breakfast! After breakfast I headed home for a shower and some sleep.

Yesterday I for the most part took it easy cleaned up my moms van since I have to take it tomorrow to Bloomington. Got some meetings and I said I would drive us all instead of Kim having to all the time. Then I met up with Scott for some BW3 (yummy) then we just vegged out till we went to bed.

Today was busy...Monday what do you expect. I had to take care of some other stuff since I won't be there all day tomorrow. Got one class taken care of too so that's a little less I have to worry about. I walked Ellie again tonight she has gone done a size in her collar so that's good. Me on the other hand...yeah we won't go there. Had some of my parents food came home and I have been packing off and on. By the end of tonight the only thing that will be left are the dishes in my sink, clothes that I wear for the next week or so, and shower stuff. Pretty much all last minute stuff.

Well just a little bit left to pack then probably head to bed...I be super tired!

This wedding is going to take everything out of me!! I think most of the planning and getting things together are done it's just a matter of doing all the parties and the actual wedding. This weekend is the bachlorette party...should be fun. I just made the dinner reservations and we all agreed on where we are going. Pretty much everyone at this point including Rachel will be glad when it's all over.

Moving on...went to the doctor yesterday it was all good news I guess. I get to keep going down on the prednisone the only problem is it's only 1mg a month. Doesn't do much for the impatient me. On the plus side I am down to 15mg which is where I usually start having problems and so far so good. Even with all the craziness of the wedding and my move coming up.

I got my first massage yesterday.....probably one of the GREATEST THINGS IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!! I felt like mush afterwards. I started to get a little tender last night and part of this morning. He put a lot of pressure on some of my really bad spots. Totally worth being a little sore I feel so much better!!!

Renna is on vacation till May 1st. Not that it really effects me a whole lot because she really doesn't do much of the office running itself. It makes getting half days and lunches taken care of a little harder but it's taken care of. The biggest problem is John coming in to see if we need help. What a joke!! He doesn't know how to do anything but be a pain in people's asses!!! He just does it to leave Sheridan early and write down for mileage, although with gas as high as it is...BUT he makes ASS LOADS more than I do so there is no reason for him to do that.

I am so glad tomorrow is Friday. I would say I was glad I was getting paid but bills and wedding stuff took care of it already. I have to work Saturday morning too. I just hope I am not busy I really should start on my class project. Next week is the 9th week of a 12 week class so the deadline is coming up.

Wow some people are really stupid. If the check isn't signed it is NOT GOOD!! I just spent 20 minutes trying to explain that to this girl. Sorry not my problem call the bank that wrote you the check and was stupid enough to forget to sign it. Go off on them...NOT ME! (I love working customer service)

Well I have a few things left to wrap up before I get out of here.

Well it has been a while....lots of stuff going on. Last week was midterms. I haven't gotten the actual grades back yet but far as I know I did pretty good.

My weekend was pretty uneventful mostly took it easy. This coming weekend is the start of wedding showers and parties for Rachel's wedding. Plus this weekend is Easter. So I will be pretty non stop this weekend. So far I have gotten most of my homework for the week done, I should be able to finish it up tonight or tomorrow so I don't have to mess with it this weekend.

I talked to the guy I am going to be renting from soon. I should start moving the beginning of May!! I can't wait to get out of the hell hole I am in. I can't wait to live alone completely again too. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed having a roomie, but there are some other issues involved when it's your family and you try to help them and they just ruin themselves even more. I am too nice and caring of a person to just let her throw her life away so with her living with me now I constantly know what is going on and try to make it better. If we aren't living in the same place my hope is to be out of sight out of mind. I am by no means just chalking her off, I feel bad for her and really wish she would get herself out of the situation she is in but she doesn't think she can do any better. Everyone has told her otherwies but it doesn't sink in. I need to keep my focus on keeping myself healthy and as stress free as I can possibly be.

Tonight I get my dress all fitted and the final touches done for that. I am so ready for this wedding to be over with. Kind of bad I know but it has been kind of hectic. I just know when the time comes for me I am going small and simple....if at all.

Well.....Katie is back I be outtie...my tummy needs love!

I really haven't been updating lately...what can I say I have been one busy girl. Today I spent the day in Bloomington at a training session, that I have to say was actually worth going to. It was super long and I took in so much information that it's overwhelming but it can all help me out professionally and personally. I am really excited to put this new program to work!! I already started on my parents and Scott...I am a dork what can I say.

Yesterday was Peoria's Business Connections and I had my manager meeting in the morning. Meeting kind of sucked as it usually does. Business connections was a BLAST!! Free food, free gadgets, and I put my card in for all kinds of stuff. I won 2 shirts and $40 to a floral place in Peoria. Too bad I didn't get the vacation, the Cubs/Cards tickets, the IPOD, or the other gazillion things I put in for. Oh well...it was fun and I got paid to do it.

Next week is midterms...I have pretty much been going to work coming home working out and then doing homework every night. If I am not doing homework I am spending a little time at my parents or with Scott. Speaking of I am still waiting on him to get home...That's the only reason I am updating now. My head is too full to even attempt to do homework and I am so tired from my early mornings that I am probably going to pass out pretty early. Anyway the work is paying off I have a high A in my Business Ethics class and a low A/high B in my Environmental Issues class (teacher is a slacker at posting grades!) So if I do alright on my midterms I should be good to go.

I go down on meds again this weekend. My goal is to do not much of anything this weekend. (I will need it after the end of this week) The only plans I have for sure is celebrating my Dad's 50th Bday on Sunday. I think my Mom is taking him to dinner then meeting the rest of us for cake and ice cream. Monday on his actual birthday he will be coming home to a lot of black balloons and some signs or something. We were going to really mess with his truck so when he came out of work it was full of black balloons but you can't get into the parking lot. The only other thing I would really want to do if I have the energy is clean the inside of my car...it really needs some love. I am so ready for windows down and music cranked time!!! Too bad it's freaking nasty outside...what happened to the 60's and sunshine??!!

This will be my last Friday till 6:00. It will be nice but yet again I lose that hour of over time each week. Kari officially goes part time beginning of April. Katie (my new teller) is catching on better than ever so I don't really see any stress on getting her taken care of.

Moving is about a month away!!! I think things are finally really looking up for me...health is good physically and getting better mentally, my new apartment is going to be VERY NICE, I have great friends and family that love me!! I am going to be one seriously broke bitch for about 5-6 more months but my car will be paid off!!! YAY!!

Ok...it took me a long time to finish that last part....my mind is starting to wander and I am starting to doze a little...I be outtie

Where do I start??? A lot has happened lately, so much that I don't remember most. In the end I guess it all works out. I am doing my monthly Saturday at least I didn't have to drive to Peoria. I have a lot I need to get done. I had an account right away this morning. I guess Quiznos got robbed...the front door was all busted out. I had to speak to the cops this morning they are going to take our video tape to see if they can see anything. That was kind of crazy. Renna is going over now to try and get the details of what happened next door....updates hopefully to come.

I am meeting with Rachel later to do more wedding preperations...fun fun. Then I am going to try and take it easy tonight. I have some homework I need to finish up and would love to dig into some more scrapping but I am just not sure what I want to do with my stuff.

Poor Dave (Quiznos guy) he is pretty sure who got in...they knew the combo to the safe. He is just trying to get things cleaned up so he can move on. Not a lot more details. You just hate to see bad things happen to good people.

Well quick update...I am still feeling pretty good. Went down some more on the medicine last weekend I think going down this slow makes it easier for me to adjust I just want to be off the damn stuff NOW!!

Anyway...I have lots of work I need to try to get done. I slacked off really bad yesterday so today I need to try and redeem myself...

Have a great weekend all!!

Well just a quickie here I am on my way out the door...no lunch today cutting out early I have a visitation to go to.

School and work are keeping me busy that is for sure but if it means I will be graduated soon it's ok. It hasn't been stressful just very steady. I have been feeling better too so that helps manage everything out.

I am pretty sure I found a new home!! I saw the larger version of the 2 BR place that will be open end of April and will be ready to move into middle of May...how about that my lease where I am at is done end of May...this place has insulation, nice carpet, electric on the floor heat, and here is what sold me...the POOL!!! It goes to show you it's a small world too...the guy I met with knows my current land lord...she stiffed him out of lease a while back when she bought the building I am in. So he was like you go tell her you are moving here and see what she says...(insert his evil laugh..lol) So yeah I will be getting in touch with someone for boxes again soon - you know who you are!!

Going out for St. Patricks Day...I didn't last year I didn't go and promised this year I would. It should be a good time...this will be the last time I really go out till after the car is paid off since bills will be tight at the new place until I have some extra from not having to make that payment. It will be worth it, this place is nice and kept up.

Anyway...I gotta get out of here.

Well I could go into great detail of my week so far how busy it has been and my not so great self and what not....BUT that's not going to happen.

Work has been on the edge of stressfully busy and just plain well freaking busy. I am glad the business is picking up but then again I kind of enjoyed the down time because I could take care of my homework and anything else I wanted to do.

I think I am finally half way caught up with my homework. Wouldn't have been an issue if my settings for my online class would have been set up right to begin with. Oh well taken care of that class is done for the week moving on to the boring class.

Tomorrow is pay day WOO too bad it's all spent and actually I am broke as usual if it's not one thing it's another.

I need to shower and finish a couple things...crashing early tonight since I got next to no sleep last night and I have a 7AM in Peoria.
