I decided to follow in the footsteps of my sissy and get a new layout (well actually I have been looking for one for quite some time but am not talented enough to know how to work any of the ones I like, lol). Not sure that I am sold on this one yet but we will see. Thoughts?...
I am so glad tomorrow is friday! This week I have been crazy busy at work (while everyone else is sitting around complaining that they are bored, so frustrating by the way). Plus I worked part of the day on monday so that makes for an extra long week. I finally decided on the apartment hunt. I am going to stay where I am at and just cry every month when I write my rent check. lol. I was unable to find anything i like and what I did find the price difference wasn't enough to be worth the move.
Plans for this weekend...I am supposed to go the state dart tourney with a girl I work with. Her husband is playing in it and she keeps bugging me to meet his partner. Hey, I figure something new to do and a way to meet new people. Yes, I am a dork, haha. Other than that I need to pack for HAWAII!!!, and run all the errands that I save up to do on the weekend. Funfun as always. :)

wawawa
Not much new here. I had a class on the shoulder friday and saturday. It was good, lots of info to absorb at once. The guy who taught it is a big shoulder gurru and does tons of research on the shoulder. Didn't do anything on friday night because I was exhausted! Who knew sitting in class from 8-6 could be so tiring. lol. I think it likely had more to do with me going out thursday for a friend's bday. Saturday after class I looked at a a few more apartments with no luck and then a friend came over to watch a movie. Today I got to clean a little and go to target and the grocery store. funfun.
The apartment hunt is down to staying where I am or moving to where Dana & Josh live. It's tough. I like where I live but am not sure I want to pay what they want me to. On the other hand it's a difference of about $60/month, I am close to my gym here, it's a safe neighborhood, blahblahblah. I should know for sure by tuesday what I am going to do. We will see being that currently I keep wabbling back and forth.

A little excitment
Today right after lunch a sheriff came into our office saying that a bomb had been found and we needed to evacuate. So we grabbed our purses and headed over to McDonalds for some ice cream. After a bit a couple of us went over to talk to the cops to see what was going on. I guess the Qwest guy was going to check the phone line and came acros "a device." They called the bomb squad and got the little robot out to investigate. Turns out they found 2 actual pipe bombs and detonated them. After about 2 hours they came in and told us it was safe to go back to work. I was hoping for the rest of the day off but no such luck. :( Crazy stuff. Who knows what pipe bombs were doing there. The funny part is I went out to lunch with a couple of co-workers and we were talking about how the cash & carry a couple doors down had gotten robbed awhile ago and that we should make more money for working in the ghetto. Then right after lunch this cop comes in and tells us they found a bomb. Ah the joys of working in Parkland! LOL!

On and On it goes
The apartment search that is. I spent my morning and early afternoon saturday and then sunday morning and evening searching for an apartment (along with many hours on the internet and phone). I found 1 more potential. Problem is is that it has absolutely no storage and I have lots of rubbermaid bins and such that need a home. Plus it is currently being renovated so I can't see it and it "should" be done by the time I need to move in. And there is still the one by Dana.
I think I am just spoiled here. Full washer and dryer (most of the ones I'm looking at have stackables). Very large closet. Top flor. Uncovered porch so that I can sit out there and get some sun. Covered parking. Nice neighborhood....ARGH!!!! Why did they have to raise my rent so much???!!!
The rest of my weekend wasn't too bad. Friday night I went to the Sonic's game with a co-worker. It was fun and the seats were awesome (5th row behind the basket). I impressed her with my ability to get free beer within 5 mintues of getting there without even trying. LOL! But then I had to walk around with 2 full beers and a giant slice of pizza. Ah well, that's a price I'm willing to take for a free $7 beer. Saturday I looked at apartments all morning and then went to the bar with some friends to watch the Seahawks get their butts kicked. Afterward we decided to play some card games and then head out to the bar. It was a good time but my drive home was long since I was down in Olympia (about 40 minutes but at 2am it takes forever!). Sunday I looked at more apartments, went to REI, went grocery shopping, and then drug Dana around with me to look at more apartments.
This week is going to be a long one. Worked today since I have a class all day friday and saturday. Thursday it's a guy I work with b-day so will likely go out with him after work. Plus I need to decide on a new home or not since I have to give them my 30 day notice by the 23rd. Ugh!

More cheerful
My weekend was nothing exciting being that I wasn't feeling too social. Saturday I bummed around, watched the Seahawk game, and then went out to dinner with a friend who just found out she is preggo so that was exciting. Sunday I went up to Mt. Rainer to play in the snow. Unfortunately the guys we went with were more into driving the truck through the snow than playing so I got bored quickly.
The apartment search goes on. I put a deposit/10 day holding fee on an apt near where Dana and Josh live but I'm not sure on it. It's not in the greatest area and it's on the 1st floor. I would rather not live on the 1st floor but if someone wants to get in your apt they will get in no matter what floor you live on, right? I know Dana and Josh haven't had any problems but they live on the 3rd floor and there is a man who lives there. I just wish someone could tell me what to do! I like where i live now, it's a good area, my gym is nearby, but I'm just not sure I can justify paying that much rent. UGH!

'08 not so great
Do you ever get in one of those moods that is impossible to get out of? I rarely do but for some reason it has hit me. So far 2008 has not started off too well.
First, my apt lease is coming up for renewal and they want to raise my rent $120! It would be almost $900, without utilities, and I just can't justify that for a 1 bedroom, especially when I know what other people are paying. Problem is I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY don't want to move. I like where I live. I live in a nice area of town, feel safe going for a walk or run on my own (if you ever watch the show COPS you know that Tacoma is not the best area). I like my apt, it doesn't feel so much like an apt. Moving is expensive and lots of work. Plus, I have tons of stuff and lots of really big furniture.
Secondly, the crap with the previously mentioned guy. Not sure why it's bothering me so much, I should be getting used to this by now since it seems to be the same story every time. :( I have never really been blown off though, think I would feel better if I just got a chance to talk to him. I keep trying to tell myself his loss not mine but so far isn't working too well. Worst part is is that I was really ok with being by myself when I met him, now I feel like it sucks.
Third, this girl at work...A couple weeks before x-mas a patient of mine complained about her yet again but this time threatened that if she was rude to him again he wouldn't come back. So I told my boss about it, no big deal cuz this pt is a bit of a complainer but I felt that my boss needed to know and I didn't want it to come back to bite me in the butt cuz if this pt never came back I would be the one to get in trouble. Well the next day I come to work to an extremely bitchy email, so bad in fact that I talked to my boss about it. Long story short this girl still won't talk to me or look at me. I walk in every day and say hi to her and am met with a glare and no reply back. It's just gone too far, she's at the front desk and there are things that we need to communicate about and things that have gone wrong because she won't talk to me. I've considered talking to my boss about it but I know how this girl is and know that it would only make matters worse. But it is making me hate going to work and I just don't know what to do.
Who knows maybe my foul mood and discontentness and loneliness is pms or something. lol. Anyhow, there's lots of other things making '08 not so great but this is enough of oh poor me. It does feel kinda good to get this all off my chest though.I just try to keep telling myself that things will only get better from here, cuz they will. And at least I have Hawaii to look forward to. :)

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a good one. Mine was eventful but I was a little let down. I just wanted to go to a bar in Olympia but we ended up getting together with some other people and had to drop a guy off at the airport. What a horrible night to leave! Since we were almost there we decided to go up to Seattle and hit a couple bars, this I was so not enthused about knowing that all the bars there would be really packed and expensive. Traffic was horrible and the bar was packed. We only stayed for about 10 mintues which annoyed me further. We headed back south but then realized that unless we stopped somewhere we would ring in the new year in the car. So we stopped at a house party that I had been invited to in Tacoma. At first it was lots of fun but then quickly became drama filled which I've had to deal with all day today. Not cool. We left the party at about 2 and headed home. In the car I called the aforementioned guy, bad idea. We talked for a little bit, I explained to him that he always says how much he likes me but as of lately I hardly see him. The call ended with him promising to call today which of course never came. Ah well I suppose. Just sucks because I do like him and we have such a good time when we are together. But I can take a hint. :( Anyhow, here are some pics from last night.
