Because people are always wondering where I am...

Over the past few years I've moved ALOT. I'm not kidding. I don't mean 2 or 3 times. Since I started High School I've moved a total of 11 times. I was 14 when I started high school and I'm 21 now so, that's 11 times in about 7 years... almost 2x a year! My family jokes that I'm their little gypsy girl and even though I never really go far the big question every year seems to be 'where do you live now?' Well for the first time ever those on my dad's side get a little peek at where I'm staying. A few months ago I moved into my Aunt & Uncles and while we finish my room I'm sharing with my little cousin. He's 9, doesn't like to sleep in his room by himself & since I'm a night owl he usually ends up passing out on the couch so the room is basically mine. Except for all his stuff of course. So here's our room when he's not there...
If you could tell the kid loves sharks. Also, that fish tank on right isn't dirty it's dried out and empty. We're gonna get on that but there's a cake that needs to be baked first. I'm considering doing New Years Cupcakes tomorrow but we'll see. Now this is how it looks on the rare occasion he decides to sleep upstairs...
The kid has a trundle bed! It's pretty awesome and so is he because for a 9 year old he incredibly considerate & lets me sleep on the top part which has a way better mattress. But not as good as mine :( I miss mine and can't wait for my room to be done so I can sleep in my bed again! Also, the closet space is getting a little tight.
Plus if you were about to a get a room as cool as mine you'd be excited too. Here's a sneak peak. With the holidays and all it hasn't come too far along considering my Uncles the only one really working on it...he never tells me what to do! When you first walk into the room and look to the left this is what you see...

You turn to the right and here you go...

Then you go up the step turn to the right and...

That's it! Nothing currently in that room is mine and since I was basically forced to take tomorrow off in a use or lose it situation I'm cleaning it out ASAP. My uncle wants that done first before he gets started on the sheet rock. Oh YAY! I love Home Improvement. I can't wait to have my own again but, I'll take my time with that one.

what's the point..

to this?...well I guess there is no point. I'm a night owl. There are only a few instances when I sleep...when I'm bored, extremely comfortable, or haven't slept in like 2 days and well I'm only human it's bound to happen. Anyways I've been reading blogs for a little bit now and it seemed like a solution to a recent problem I had. Last week was xmas & let me tell you it was probably the BEST week of all of 2008! No, I'm not lying and I'm not over exaggerating. It's the best week I've had in a long time. Overall if your considering weeks it's probably the best one I've had since I'd say, the end of 2006. It was great I saw my family a TON and caught up with a bunch of friends, some have just been busy with school & others I haven't seen in years! It's nice to see people looking good & doing well. Anywhoodles, back on track, wed night I was so excited for Santa to come (lol) I didn't get much sleep. The whole xmas excitement kept me going 100% thursday night & it completely felt like a Friday. Except it wasn't. So when I went to work on what was really Friday I was overtired and bouncing off the walls silly...aka completely unproductive as was just about the whole office. Went out with Heather & Margaux for a bit friday night and finally at the early hours of saturday morning my head hit the pillow for some official shut eye. But I kept sleeping, till like 11:30 which is pretty late for me. I overslept, cleaned my room, went to Emilys play which, by the way Em loved the Irish Accent (I have some pretty talented little cousins) then for lack of anything better to do hit the hay again until who knows when on Sunday. All I know is I overslept because well, I didn't have anything important going on Sunday and i couldn't really think of anything to do. Well I could have emptied my trunk out which is still full since I moved but I didn't think of that until now so that's not gonna do me any good. Well the point to all this is, this is something to do when I'm bored. When I need to get up in the morning to avoid oversleeping. Alright. Nothing will be written with the intent to hurt anyones feelings so if somehow I do without realizing it, you should probably go back and reevaluate how seriously you take things. Also, my friends, don't fear I won't be posting any of your deep dark secrets on here. Actually, I'm going to try my best to not use you all too much. I'm not worried though, I seem to walk head on into crazy & trouble without putting in any effort whatsoever.

The FBI is in the Building

Today, we had a new IT director start. It's been a long time coming as we've needed someone to replace our dear Bob Mac who passed a while ago. While many people are excited about the new addition to our group, I myself am unsure. Why you ask? Because I don't know how smart this guy is. Now I don't mean that in a he looks like he's stupid & can't do his job kind of way but, more like he's gonna come in and rain on my parade. You see at our office the IT department has the ability to monitor what everyone does on their computers down to the very tiniest detail. For example if he's what I somewhat fear he is, he will be able to see that I wrote this wonderful little post dedicated completly to him, because yes I'm writing this while I'm at work. Not too smart you say, why am I doing it at work if I'm scared he can see you ask...because I'm bored out of my mind! Being at the end of the Holiday season a number of our stores are closed and apparently buying tile isn't at the top of everyones list. I only have a limited amount of work that I'm 100% positive what my boss wants done with it & since she's on vaca I don't plan on messing something up just so I can fix it when she comes back. Now prior to this new addition our 'sit in' IT director wasn't really, from my knowledge, aware of the wonderful technology that allows them to know exactly what time we clicked go to yahoo.com, but this new guy, this new guy may be on top of things.



So, this is somewhat of a PSA letting everyone know I will no longer be Myspace or Facebooking it while I'm at work. The personal E-mails will be kept to a minimum & IMing is off limits (look at me sounding all popular & what not). But my friend texting is still A-OK...I repeat text me whenever u please! :)



And as for you Mr. New IT Director, there may come a day when I crack, yes the boredom may take over & myspace may pop up on my little activity page. And when this day comes I would like you to refer back to your first day with us & the first thing you saw walking into the building...

Yes Kevin sir...I'm what's known as the 'keeper of the letters'. I put together this beautiful little welcome board for you. So when you're looking at my online history, just take it easy on me. Because you know...I always could have just forgot to welcome you & other than Sarah giving me the paper with your name on it, I don't believe anyone else had anything to do with this beautiful display!
