Wedding Hoopla...

So, its official. Eva is now married. After a long weekend of fun, friends, and family, I have to admit that I am absolutely exhausted. But I am so happy for Eva. She looked lovely on her big day and I can't believe she is actually married.

Some days I can't believe all of my friends are getting married - but I do think it is great. It reminds me of the Facebook group "My Friends are Getting Married, I'm Getting Drunk". I wasn't close to drunk at the wedding, but I think it shows the difference that I feel between some of my friends who are getting married.

I am sure my day will be coming, but not in the current situation I am in. I am not about to go on a husband search, but honestly, I think I need to start looking for quality people because sometimes I tend to be attracted to Mr. Goodtime, not Mr. Goodforme.

Okay, I think this is enough pontificating for one night.


In other news, I am stoked for the inauguration tomorrow. Getting ready for the changing of the guard...

Frustration...

Okay, so I started off this new year trying to be productive and to really not let anything get in my way. The boy talked to me at length yesterday about his girlfriend. This is a fairly new development, and I have to say that when he told me about this, my heart sunk a little. Can I really be friends with him, and work with him when I am this emotionally invested?

He still cares about me (I am guessing what I was reading as interest in me could purely be a platonic friendship) and is still doing little things to make sure that I am aware of him. I just get frustrated that things work out against what I hoped - and even so, I can't escape seeing him. I am not sure that I would want to. But, its not so much a choice as a requirement.

Especially in this economy.

Mas Peyton...

Ummm.... weird...

This afternoon was a little different than planned. Eva and I were going to go for a walk, but then it turned into errands at REI and Office Max. Not totally eventful.

It started out with lunch/snack at Chipotle. I look over and see this guy talking to himself. I look over at Eva and realize who he is. My Spanish prof from Foothill. I shrug it off and go to eating my less carby burrito.

We then go into REI and check out the clearance section. The prof is working there! He comes up to us and says to me: "You used to work at REI..." I responded with a sturdy "No, I didn't." He then, realizes I was his Spanish student, and gets all odd (not that this whole situation wasn't entirely strange) and walks off.

Eva and I just looked at each other and thought it was odd. He just kept walking by me. I found this all a tad disturbing. Definitely not something I would have thought of happening.

Okay... and that was Sunday...

Totally Bummed...

The Colts lost to the Chargers. I can't stand Phillip Rivers, and have a crush on Peyton Manning (one that I do not completely understand), so of course I am upset. Goodbye Peyton, we shall meet again next year. I guess for the next nine months I will have your Mastercard commercials to sustain me...

Tomorrow, Wildcard Weekend continues... keeping my fingers crossed for a Dolphins win, so the Steelers will play the Chargers and punch them in the mouth. Whoops, did I just say that?

Busy Saturday...

Is it really Saturday? These weird weeks are really confusing me.

I woke up this morning to my cell phone going off. Yes, it was Anneli making prank calls from my mom's cell phone again. Nice. Just wanted to make sure I was up at 6:45 on my day off - I am not up that early on the days I have to go to work.

Needless to say, I kind of had a realization yesterday, that I need to have my dress fixed and cleaned for Eva's wedding, which is two weeks from tomorrow (Oh my god, I can't believe it). So I had to run around for that, because I have to look awesome for that. We gotsta keep it classy.

All of this running around (I don't need to bore you with the details) wears me out. I think 2009 is going to be the year of exhaustion.

Happy New Year!

Okay, so I have been kind of absent from my blogging, I guess it is the holidays that were just getting to me. But I am back, and I am ready to start 2009 off right.

2008 wasn't a bad year for me. I started a new job, made some new friends, and have learned more about myself. However, as I continue to grow and become a more evolved person, I want to give myself some resolutions.

(1) Continue to get healthy. I have been working on this for a while now. I have pushed myself more and more; but I always forget to find the balance between my mental health and physical health. I am going to work on being thinner, happier, and challenge myself mentally.

(2) This one is related to the first one, but not completely. I resolve to start looking at business schools. I feel like if I have an MBA in my pocket, it can definitely help me move up in my career.

(3) Saving $$$. I know, I know. Everybody is probably resolving for this. I am already saving a fair amount of money, but I need to exercise some self control in spending. But again, I do like pretty things. Including an HDTV and blackberry. (sigh) Oh, capitalism, why are you so pretty and shiny?

(4) Taking more pride in myself and my possessions. Okay, so there was the camera incident. Yes, it was fueled by waaay too much Southern Comfort, Vodka, and Beer. However, I let in go for a swim in my lovely red drink cup. I need to recognize that I do spend money on all of these things and they are not all completely disposable. I will again try to make myself realize that I need to work on these things.

(5) As cliche and ridiculous as it may sound, I want to resolve to be happier and if that means finding a guy that will be somebody for me that will balance me out - so be it. Sometimes I think I found that person, but as my friends point out to me time and again, it is not right, but it does point out to me that I need to either provide a calming influence on myself, or find someone who will do this for me.

There is a lot to look forward to in 2009. My friends, family are getting married, which will be fun. I look forward to seeing my friends and family grow and spending time with everyone. Not to be too mushy, but thank you to everyone who has been there for me this past year and I can't wait to get 2009 started!

Sidenote: I am watching the Penn State/USC game - Why does SC make me hate them so much? Go Nittany Lions!
