I pretty much hate this week.

I feel like everyone has just abandoned me. I’m tired of being the only one who shows up to work 5 days a week. I’m tired of sitting in front of my computer all alone with little work to do. There is no one to talk to and it makes the day go by so slow. Plus, Chad has been super busy at work so carrying on a conversation over gmail is impossible because he never responds.

Chad also had to cancel plans twice this week because he is now the President of the Strata Council and there is all this emergency crap that’s come up and so I’ve had to take a back seat to it. I’ve barely got to see him so far this week and when I have seen him I’ve just been in a bad mood knowing that I only get an hour with him before he runs away again. And I know this is not his fault and that he doesn’t want to deal with all this Strata stuff but it frustrates me to no end especially because we had plans and I was excited about them and then they were canceled.

Dinner plans with Matt got canceled last night too because he had to work late. We’ve been trying to get together for a month for my birthday dinner. I have no idea when we will be able to reschedule because my calendar is almost fully booked for the next month.

I watched the finale of Rock of Love last night and I could have predicted it was going to end like it did. That is how lame I am this week. I have resorted to watching Rock of Love. Someone shave Bret Michaels head please. I hate his weave with a passion.

Just thinking about the logistics of tonight and what needs to get done stresses me out. And all the while I sit here at work with nothing to do.

I am so friggin restless that I am going insane.

On a positive note all the wedding invitations went out on Monday so some of you should be receiving them soon if not already. I’ve already got 3 replay’s back! People are speedy. And if you don’t get an invitations its not because I don’t love you, its because its hard to cut back on your huge extended Italian family so there is enough room for friends when your venue only holds 250 and you are already over that number.

I need to charge my ipod.

I quick post before everyone comes back from their meetings and finds me not working. HA. Like thats never happened before!

I tried to re-create last nights dinner for lunch today but it doesn’t work with leftovers. I went to the supermarket down the street to get some tomatoes for lunch but the whole place creeped me out. Some older Asian man in a suit kept following me and it was really dark in there. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. The tomatoes I bought smell off and now I’m scared to eat them because they came from a sketch bag store. Thankfully I bought a Mars bar tho.

Today is my one year anniversary at my job. No one knows this tho, or they don’t realize it. I dressed up today but not really cause it was my anniversary, basically because I had the time this morning. I highly doubt I will get any recognition on the matter. It has however, been the most interesting year of work ever. Fashion is crazy.

I over did it at the gym last night and did not feel good afterwards. Note to self, don’t burn every single calorie your body has or you will pass out. Mmmm Mars Bar. I’m still too scared to go down to the weight section with all the guys. I think they might beat me up.

Tonight we are going to Sports Check so we can buy gym stuff. Mainly I need runners and Chad needs breathable tops and new shorts. One time he had his gym shorts on the floor after going to the Grouse Grind for a month and not washing them and dared me to smell them. Me being all tough was like fine hand’em over. Sweet Jesus I have never smelled anything so bad in my entire life. Crotch odor + crotch sweat = the pervyish more horrid thing in the world. You will NEVER smell anything like that in your entire life. I suggest you try it. I still can’t get over how they smelled.

Chad is disgusting if you didn’t already know. Remind me again why I am marrying him? (101 days to go!)

I’ve actually been productive today. There isn’t much work to do so instead of completing the small tasks on my TO DO list I just surf the Internet for hours. Today however, I decided I didn’t want to be bored any more and have completed quite a bit already. Go Danielle!

Also, Congratulation to Chad for being less gassy this month! YAY!

Ok back to cutting swatches.

I waited too long to eat lunch and now I feel sick because my stomach is empty and I was working too much. Damn you zippers.

I came home from work yesterday and made Maui ribs. They were damn tasty. Actually Chad BBQ’d them but it was my idea. Post dinner I went to lay down on the couch while Chad worked on all his work and I passed right out I was so exhausted. This meant that I missed RT’s phone call and Elises birthday party. And now I feel like poo about it. I even made her a hand made card out of work supplies. Dammit Danielle!

Having the dog wake you up at 5 in the morning to go out to pee and then wake you up 5 more times before 7:30 really messes with your sleep which means I am very cranky. That’s right I am a princess and use to my mom taking care of everything and now shes gone for a week and I am cranky. The next thing you know Chad will start to get concerned with my attitude towards cleaning a 3 floor house after working 8 hours and fear that come September 7th I will fall apart as a house wife and he will regret his decision. Even though I have proved myself on about a billion occasions and have thrown several dinner parties and always do everything in my power to ensure that he has a clean comfortable apartment to live in.

I love how everyone is looking at this like my BIG test to see whether or not I will fail in September. I don’t get it. Do you want me to fail? This situation is slightly different then my situation come September and haven’t I spent the past year and a half proving myself. Srsly. Enough already. I think we all know that I can take care of a house and cook and bake and fix clothes and wash clothes and sweep and clean. Although I can’t quite iron like my Nonna does.

I think half the reason I am so cranky these days is because everyone is watching me like I’ve never done any of these things before. Like I have never had to take care of myself and my brother and my dog before, like I am oblivious to what it takes to run a home. It’s like they are watching me because they expect me to fail. If they new I would succeed there would be no need to watch.

I’m just so tired of all of it. Yes, come September things will change and it will take some getting use to but is it really obvious to everyone that I am just going to fall apart and become some miserable human being?

When is the day going to come where people will just know I am good at what I do and can stop saying ‘this will be a good test for you’? I think I’ve proven myself already.

Yay Long Weekends!

I was very satisfied with the amount of stuff we did. We crammed in a lot but it didn’t have that super busy rushed feeling which was good. It sucked that we didn’t end up going canoeing because of the rain since Dario bought a canoe and all. Yes that’s right. He bought a canoe. Thankfully we have an entire summer in which to do so.

I didn’t take that many pictures because my camera is on the fritz and is frustrating to work with. I need to go drop it off to get fixed next week after this weekend events.

The sun is finally out today after a crazy ass thunderstorm and lots of rain this past week.

I realized this morning that my flip flop collection sucks because they are all sooo old and falling apart. The majority of them were bought when I worked at Bootlegger and got 50% off. That is OLD. I will be heading out on a mission to buy new ones soon.

Oh yea my boob! I got my stitches taken out and replaced with Butterfly stitches just to make sure the wound doesn’t open. They eventually fall off as the wound heals. Its all pretty snazzy and I will be left with a scar I think.

Ok I need to go get some sushi before I pass out. BRB.

Ok back. Anyways, yes. So I haven’t been able to go to the gym for the past two weeks because of my boob so last night was the first time I had gone since then. OMG it felt so good to work out again. Even though I haven’t been working out for a long time I started to feel like a fat slob during those two weeks. Last night consisted of 3 half hour cardio sessions, a weight session, and an ab work out that turned me into a brick house. It was amazing. I CAN’T WAIT TO GO BACK. I know, what have I become???

So tonight we got ourselves a little surprise gathering but I can’t say to much about it since it is a surprise after all. Hopefully I will get some good pictures this weekend.

2 1/2 more hours of work! YAY!

Patio Pictures are HERE.
Birthday Party Pictures which I never posted or wrote about are HERE.

I am dressed like a bum.
The back of my left foot is all cut up and sore from the shoes I wore Sunday night.
Lots of things happened this weekend, some of which I have pictures of but have not uploaded yet.
There is a pile of things on my desk to do and I should try and get them done before I leave to get my stitches removed.
This makes me some what panic. Ha.
My nails are really long and it makes it hard to type.
Ok I need to get back to ordering stuff, but I am alive.
Hopefully there will be some good content on here shortly.

Hey did anyone see the Dateline thing last night about the guy who killed his wife on their honeymoon? Yea, Chad and I watched it. Now I fear him.

DON’T KILL ME IN MEXICO CHAD. I HAVE CONNECTIONS.
