Holy cow, I haven't posted since August. And I thought I was doing better! I still read all your entries though.

Let's see, what's happened since August...

I posted the new car, that's fun. It was really nice out today so I was finally able to drive really fast down a highway with the music blaring and the windows all down. Hadn't really got the chance to do that yet.

Work kinda sucks right now, but I'm dealing with it. We're probably going to move out of state in a year; need to start fresh somewhere, and my only loyalties here are the Red Sox & Pats :D

I'm thinking about new tattoos, have pretty definitive ideas, but I want to think on them for awhile. Depending the cost, I might get one of them this year. The fix up to my current one I want to wait for kids to fix up, because I'd like to put names in it (and it's cliche to put your husband's (or other SO's) name on you.

Um, going on vacation in a bit. Got a really cute bathing suit, but I want to lose weight. I don't see that happening especially with this crappy work schedule.

Besides that, well, my life is rather boring. Ok, it's not that bad, but half of my rants are on work, and I can't really post about that.

Hey, wait, I can make stuff friends-only, can't I? All this stuff I keep forgetting about. I blame laziness ;)

Woo, baby's gotta new set of wheels!




And let me tell you, that 7 speaker stereo system with sub is hot.

And I've found a handful of nifty features. Like the feature that turns the volume up the faster you go. Or the headlights that have a light sensor, and will turn on if it's dark or if you leave the wipers on for more than 15 seconds.

Hey Laura, I think I needa take you onna ride =D

Current Music: My newest driving CD

You know a Windows Update is necessary when the Department of Homeland Security urges you to put it on.

(2 days in a row? I think I'm on something)

2 posts in one day? What am I on?

So I called the dealership today and my car is going to be built over the 18th-19th (Yes, this means I know my car's birthday.)

This new car comes equipped with a 7 speaker sound system including subwoofer.

This of course, means that I need a nice driving CD with really good songs on it. Many of the Guitar Hero songs fall under this category, but I'd love your input. I'm leaning more on the rock side of the spectrum, but I won't turn down good rap. Oh, and keep the ballads to a minimum.

I'll have pictures of everything that's changed in my life soon... I just need time to hurry up already ;)

Current Music: ?????

So this morning one of the guys at work says to one of the other guys at work, "Hey, do your kids watch veggietales?" To which the other guy said, "No, what is it?" So the first guy says, "It's this Christian cartoon it's really cute, but my girls, this morning, were singing a song from it over and over again."

My reply, was "Which song was it?"

He said, "Pirates who don't do Anything."

Me: "Oh, yeah, I know that one. Actually I know a punk band that covered it." I think this response threw him for a loop.



So now I have Relient K's version playing in the office (side note: My upload speed at home is as fast as my download speed at work. That's crazygonuts.).

Man, I'm exhausted. And smelly. I need to shower, but I have to clean stuff first. I'm writing this from Rodd's PC because mine is in pieces in other parts of the apartment.

Tomorrow, we get to (Along with help from the wonderful mr. zeronine) get a moving truck and shove everything into it. At 8AM. And we need to be out by Noon. It's going to be exciting. Really. If anyone wants to help I'll feed you. Not sure with what, but there will be edibles. Even if it's an IOU.

It's 3PM and I want to sleep. But no, there will be no sleep. Not until everything's out of the upstairs and into the downstairs and all in wonderful little packages we like to call "boxes."

In other news: I ordered a car, we got new desks, I got a promotion, we're getting a couch, and um... probably other stuff that I can't concentrate on.

WHEEEEEEE!

Current Mood: crazy

The blue couch is no more:


It got into a fight with Rodd and a saw. They won. We also beat up our desks, though Rodd may tell you otherwise today - he's a little tired.

Let's hope that the garbage truck takes everything.

Totally random question:

Does anyone who went to my wedding happen to have a picture of Rodd & I leaving? Like with our different clothes on?

I'm finally putting together a wedding album, and while I have something on the order of 1000 pictures, none of that... and it's driving me nutso!

So I try to call my supposed PCP today to get a doctor's appointment.

I had just switched from Rodd's insurance to my own company's insurance (cuz it's cheaper), and selected a nice doctor from there pretty little list of doctors. Stupidest way ever to do it, and now it seems that it is confirmed that way.

You see, I do a search based on my address, and picked someone that looked good (Harvard Med school grad, close to apt). Some number of months later (today) I try to figure out where this doctor actually is.

It takes some sleuthing, you see, because the phone number listed is a fast busy.

So I do a search for the doctor on a site for the practice, and find that it seems she got moved to another practice not too far away. Whatever again, I can deal.

So I call up to try and make an appointment, and what do I get? "Sorry, she's been out and noone in this practice is accepting any new patients at the moment."

What?!

Then how the heck do I have the DR listed as my PCP?

Fine, fine. Make a little member login at bluecross. See that I can actually change my PCP. Fine, dandy, whatever.

Do a search for doctors again. This time I call first.

Called the other practice (the one that was closer to me). They're not taking any new patients either.

This, mind you, makes the first 5 pages of search results for a doctor completely invalid. The last 10 are doctors in Boston proper (and I'll be darned if I want to go into the city for that).

The *BEST* part about this whole thing?
Because it's an HMO, in order for me to get anything done to me at all, I need a referral. From my PCP. The one that isn't taking new patients regardless of the fact that they're listed as my PCP. Otherwise Blue Cross won't give up the $$$.

Yeah, that's right. I'm paying for insurance that I don't have coverage for.

So. Pissed. Off.

Current Mood: angry

Ok, so I went to E3

My CA pictures are all here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aeralla/

And the Wii is the best thing ever. Um... besides that my life's about the same. I work, I go home, I eat, I go to bed, I go to sleep, I get up, etc, etc, etc....

We may be moving again soon though, if Rodd gets the job he wants. He's calling them in a lil under an hour, lets hope for the best.

I was awakened to find lillies on my bed.

My hubby wuvs me. (And if it makes any of you V-Day haters feel better, it's my birthday =P)

First day back to work. I was supposed to do something that would be approved by the end of the day.

1 hour after showing up to work, my hard drive died.
after 6 hours of finding IT and installing windows and fighting with drivers....
The power for my entire row shuts off.

Lemme tell you just how much actual work I've done....

Current Mood: indifferent

Pepsi (Rodd's fault. He made me get some cuz it was so cheap)
Brie on Bread
Meat on stick (fondue!)
Shrimp
Chili Cheese Fries (Justin used his new salad spinner for the fries)
Beer from when Shawn was here
Coffee
Cake
Egg Nog
Champagne

Whee.
Happy New Years', kids.

Soooo I got a fondue set for Christmas. And Rodd and I got a TV. So we're gonna do a meat fondue on NYE (that'd be Saturday =P) Who's interested?

My stress level is so high right now.

And I'm so freaking tired, too.

Sure, I'll get taunted that my inlaws are in Disney World. Sure, I may have to stay late at work due to the fact that I'm in a "hurry up and wait" state.

But that doesn't matter.

Tonight, I am getting a Christmas tree.

Tomorrow, I'm getting a TV, going Christmas shopping, and going self-shopping.
Tomorrow night, our company holiday party is at F1 Boston.

And Sunday, I'm making pancakes. And decorating the tree. And going to church.

As a side note, I'm reviving old away messages on AIM. Anyone else remember "Gone crazy, back later." and "Naked and wet."?
