Genuinely UPSET.

I want this more than anything right now.

The bathroom connects the 2 bedrooms. and then has a 1/2 bath as well.
It has a washer and dryer in unit.
2, yes 2 car garage!
FIREPLACE!
And they allow cats.

Why was this not available 2 months ago?!?!?!?

I kind of want to go to the Open House in hopes that it's actually horrible...
Boo to my lease.

Chick flick appreciation. Not to be read by dudes.

I caught this movie on Lifetime last night... and I pretty much fell in love.
Watch it. Steph especially, because you usually appreciate this garbage with me. But, I have a feeling you've seen this already. It's a cute one.

Synopsis:
"Three women who share a house are all about to turn 30. Tentative, mousy Micki has just had her fiancée, Jeff, break off their wedding plans because she's not passionate enough for him. Beautiful Tanya is pregnant and has lost her job as a sales clerk, but her boyfriend Tom isn't ready to marry and raise a child. Jasmine , who loves being single and dating bad boys, is tired of her family's pressure to marry. She proposes that all three get married, notify their families, then divorce. They go to Las Vegas to pursue the scheme. Micki hooks up with a dreamy cowboy, Cary, who instructs her in the art of passion. Tanya lures an older fellow, divorced businessman Oliver, planning to trick him into thinking that he's responsible for her pregnancy. Jasmine falls for Oliver's younger friend Matt who turns her on despite being a nice guy."

I Love John Corbett, I was happily surprised to see him! Sooooo dreamy...I wouldn't mind a cowboy.
I love all 3 characters in this movie. I could relate a little bit to each of them.
I miss the 90's
If and When I ever do get married, please believe I will have a 90's Limo, (because that's when they were still considered cool) and me and my bridesmaids will drink champagne and hang out of the sunroof all the way to the wedding.
What the hell, we should just rent one and do that this weekend.
Who's with me?


Included on the Soundtrack is "You might Think" By the Cars.
I've been rocking out to this pretty much all day.

You might think I'm crazy
To hang around with you
Maybe you think I'm lucky
To have something to do
But I think that you're wild
And inside me is some child

You might think I'm foolish
But baby it's untrue
You might think I'm crazy
All I want is you

You might think it's hysterical
But I know when you're weak
You think you're in the movies
And everything's so deep
But I think that you're wild
When you flash that fragile smile

You might think it's foolish
What you put me through
You might think I'm crazy
All I want is you

And it is hard, so hard to take
There's no escape, without a scrape
But you kept it going 'til the sun fell down
You kept it going

You might think I'm delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere, sometimes
When you're curious
I'll be back around
And I think that you're wild
And so-o uniquely styled

You might think it's foolish
This chancy rendezvous
You might think I'm crazy
But all I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you

Partially by request from Emily.

Update.
I'm boring. haha!
Maybe not so much. But I'm sure no one cares to hear about the goings on in my life, and I have been somewhat busy.
Softball season is in full swing, and its awesome. I had to miss one practice and I was pretty sad about it :/
It's so much fun, even though I suck quite a lot. Last Monday was our first Victory 14-2!!! Quite a big victory. All the games we've lost we've been sooo close to winning. Last night we played an awesome game, but lost 18-15 to a team of dudes and their moms, which is totally awesome. Anyway, I was surprised at the turnout of spectators last night! My dad showed up! and it was a late game! I thought he went to bed at like 8. I was stoked to see him there. Scott and Emily came again, along with honorary fan Sarah, who has only missed one game, so she has her own team hat! Then Danny and Mattie showed up. It was a rad feeling to have my crew there rooting for our team. Next week's game is another early game 6:30, and there is talk of possibly bbqing after the game at the park... This will be one NOT to miss!

Other than Softball, my workload is slowly getting smaller for the time being with the Olympics getting ready to wrap. It will be nice to relax a little bit after this project, but hopefully not for too long. I've loved this project, even though its been intense most of the time. I love feeling like I am doing something worthwhile here, and I enjoy feeling the appreciation for it.

Sarah and I have just about finished our place almost... It's quite cute right now. We still have less space and oddly more stuff. But it's come together. I got away with not needing to buy one piece of new furniture! I don't even have a dresser in my bedroom... I tried something a little unconventional and I'm kinda diggin it. My room is officially my sanctuary. I'm really happy with how its laid out and set up. Although a queen size bed frame would complete it.
Because my queen mattress tends to get a little crazy on the full frame. haha!

Things are mostly good. I have been a little hazy and in a dream like state for the past week, but I think I'm coming back to reality... I'm not sure if it was related to the fact that I had drank more nights in a week than I am used to, or if it was related to other things... I guess time will tell.

I'm dying inside of excitement for my niece or nephew to develop further and be born.... fuuuuuuuuuck! Emily showed me things she has purchased for baby Brandt, and I'm so stoked the kid has possessions officially. It's happening! Baby, come meet meeeeeee! Or start kicking like crazy so, I can feel it! that will hold me over once it starts happening. Maybe. :)

My Sister SARAH's 24th Birthday is on Thursday!!! So, now it's time to prepare for a good long weekend of celebrating my Sari-cakers! Hit us up, we are doing it up RIGHT! Thursday, Friday, Saturday!!!! and hell, maybe we'll find something to do Sunday...

Here is some Ryan Lochte for your face! <333 I would marry this fool in a millionth of a second. Homeboy's got it going on. Why do I always like the young ones....?

I'm pretty much heartbroken that Swimming is over. Someone send me a swimmer to ease the pain.

I LOVE a good Thursday.

And this will be one of those GOOD Thursdays.

Despite the madness at work, which I'm actually totally into, I'm stoked. Every once in a while, I really enjoy this fast paced stuff where everything is just happening and changing. One thing after the next. Who needs to slow down? Keeps me on my toes. Plus, I'm in need of distractions to keep my mind off other things, so it woks out well right now. I'll rest after I can say I accomplished something (assuming I can, haha!)

After what looks to be yet another long, hectic, but FUN day of work, I have Softball practice. Easily one of my favorite things going on right now. I'm really happy I joined the team. I'm getting to know people in the company that I would not usually encounter. I love the whole being a part of a "team" thing. I think after this is over I might consider joining another team outside of work. I'm really having that much fun, and we haven't even had a game yet. That being said. Anyone who reads this and wants to come to a game, Please do!!!! Our first is Monday night. Contact me for info. We don't have our uniforms yet (which I designed!! :D) but we should have them by our 2nd game. I'm very proud.

I think some of us our going to the batting cages after practice too. I could use A LOT of batting practice, among other things....

AND THEN! TONIGHT.... Get ready for it....
A couple of the girls from work invited me to join them to see THE DARK KNIGHT tonight at midnight! I'm dying... I LOVE Christian Bale. And am also a Heath fan, so this extremely exciting. Batman Begins is easily one of my favorite movies, so I'm really anxious to see this one, of course.

26.

I went to our company softball teams first official practice yesterday. I was a lot of fun. I'm way too excited about it all. However, I suck, and not just a little either.
Anyhow, I was talking to one of the guys from work and in conversation he asked he asked how far apart my sister and I were in age, and I answered 2 years. He then asked how old she was, and I answered that she will be 24. He then assumed I was 22. which was nice, but I laughed and admitted that I was in fact 26. This was the first time I had to say I was 26. I don't know why, but it fully freaked me out, right there. Like I couldn't look at him because I was scared of a reaction. there may have not been one. But, I couldn't risk it.
I don't like that this age things worries me so much. I don't really even get why it does. But, it really does!
Now, I don't feel, by any means, old.
But, to me 26 sounds like it's getting up there. I don't feel 26. I haven't done enough to be 26. It just sounds old. I should have so much more of my shit together.
I feel 22, maybe.

That's my rant.
I hate you, 26.

Paging MATERSON...

Raymond Materson. Or just plain Materson will do. Please contact me asap.

Thanks.

Appreciation.

Zigga.
Thank you for the smile today.





Simple things like this bring me such joy...

The Auntie Krust.

Accepted forms:
The Anti-Krust (like Anti Christ.)
Aunt Krust.
Auntie Kristina.
Auntie.
Aunt.

The word is odd after looking at it saying and spelling it a few times.

This is big time.
I was talking to my aunt on the phone last week and she said "Being an aunt is one of the best things you get to be, I so know the excitement you have right now"
I Love you BABY BRANDT. I'm going to smother you with Love and affection and spoil the shit out of you.


I get to be an Aunt.
Boo-yeah.


I'm to see fetus photo <3

In the market...

I'm getting ready to purchase a laptop.
Actually I have been ready for close to a month.
I've built a few, or picked out others and just when I've made the decision and it's time to pull the trigger, I freeze.
It's such a large sum of money to spend in one purchase.
If I only I hadn't fucked myself over and was able finance it... I'd be more at ease.
shiiiiit. I hate expensive purchases. It took me MONTHS to finally buy my car in 2005.
I;m just worried. I'm going to do it, and then something better that I could afford will come out... which is exactly what happened when I bought my car. The New GTI's came out and I fell in love, but had just purchased my TC. eh.
What the hell?

Here I go.

I need reassurance.
And advice on how NOT to screw this thing up.
Send me links to inexpensive external hard drives and nice 15.4" laptop cases.

Wish me luck.

FRIDAY.

Was excellent.
For many reasons.
I got that feeling back in my stomach that I had missed so much...

I met these amazing creatures.
(Most photos are blurry, because I prefer the lighting without the flash, and I wanted to try to disturb the animals as little as possible.)











And The Jellyfish, which are rad! The colors and the lights...
And in the exhibit they were playing THIS song.

"Do you remember
When we met
That's the day I knew you were my pick"

agh! I love it.












And had a blast. I have since learned many interesting facts about Octopuses. (yes, Octopuses is an acceptable plural form of Octopus.) They are my favorite right now. This guy in particular. He has 7 arms, and 1 nub....



He was totally dancing around for us and putting on a show. I took a ton of pictures.


I would love to have a pet Octopus. But they have very short life spans and are super smart and excellent escape artists. and as much as I love cuddling, I don't want to wake up with one in my bed, unexpectedly.
Jason took me to the Chart House for Dinner, and it was the BEST! After seeing Salmon swim around, I totally ordered Salmon for Dinner... As well as a Calamari Appetizer.. I'm, evil. but, It's sooooo good. And Dessert was the winner. Molten chocolate Lava cake, sprinkled with Heath Bar... I want to go back NOW.









Back to work, now...
A least I have cheesecake and TEA!
I'm a happy, happy Krust.
