My updated ramblings

Oh no! Haven't written in here regularly the way I'm 'sposed to. Will try to be more consistent.

So lots of things have been going on...I had an EXTREMELY busy work week, almost had a break down couple of days ago b/c I was so stressed out. But, (as usual), I made it through, no hospitalizations necessary. I need to have more faith in myself.

B/c of the busy week I did not hit the gym ONCE. My trainer will be oh-so-pissed when I see him on Sunday. I am going to go this morning just so I can tell him I've been at least ONE other time this week. My only saving grace is that I haven't been eating too poorly this week so I shouldn't be much heavier when I see him. The problem is that last week our training session was so intense that I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up this week. He likes to intensify our sessions as we go along...

What else...Oh I got a press and curl last night. Haven't had one since January. I wanted to see if my hair has grown and got any healthier since I stopped pressing it regularly. One for two. Its not longer but definitely healthier, I had practically NO SHEDDING at all, and I'm the shedding queen! I noticed about a week or so ago doing my natural hair that there wasn't as much breakage, so that is awesome. I think to get some length I have to come up with a better cleaning and conditioning regimine now, but I am on my way! And I miss my naps already....

C has been out of work a whole 2 weeks. I heard through the grapevine that he will be back next week. I really miss him. Can't say the same for him though, he hasn't called or texted or emailed or anything. This is what happens when you become attached to unavailable men.

Hm. Well I could ramble about other things but I should get moving. Have a lot to do today, I'm going with my BFF to a conference about childhood abuse, then going BBQ tasting and then on a midnight boat cruise! And I think I still need an outfit for the cruise. Its an all white affair and I don't have all white outfits. I am afraid to (and usually do) get them dirty. Adios.

Are you on the payroll??!?

So there's this dude at work. We call him "Hustleman". He has been hanging around our offices since 1985 apparently, but no one knows WHAT he does or why he's so cool with the big-wigs here. He's "hustleman" b/c he's always peddling bootleg cds, t-shirts and concert tickets. At first he weirded me out but since my supervisors were cool with him randomly stopping by our office close to quitting time, using our computers, chilling, I figured I should be cool with him too.

So for the past three years I've gotten to know Hustleman better and am finally cool with him. It's gotten to the point where he almost exclusively uses my computer when he comes by the office. And its to look at random pictures of him and celebrities or half naked chicks :/ But this would only happen once or twice every two weeks so I never used to mind.

But now its becoming a problem. Every other day he's at my office a little after 5, waiting for me to leave so he can use my computer. Today he actually asked me, "When are you leaving." *Fuming* My office mate said that's what internet cafes are for! Since he's so close with celebrities and everyone loves him, can't he hook himself up with a computer?! If he's on the go then a laptop with wireless internet? The worse is that this morning when I came I was looking through my sent emails in my Outlook account and saw that he was sending emails from my account!!! I know I have to say something, I just hate confrontation. And I really don't mind him using my computer when I'm not here, I just hate that it seems like he's starting to feel entitled to use my computer, when he DOESN'T EVEN WORK HERE!!!!

Oh well. I will hurt his feelings but I must have the talk with Hustleman tomorrow. Today he left all down b/c I wasn't getting off my computer soon enough for him I guess. How did I let this happen?? LOL

In other news...I'm supposed to be getting drinks tonight with my friend but she hasn't called to confirm. If I don't hear from her by 7 I'm leaving work and heading to the gym! Hmph.

Going Out

I love going out. I think the best part is preparation.

I love dancing around to music while doing my hair and makeup. I love trying on clothes (this is a much more pleasant experience when I'm lighter) and thinking of outfits. I love the anticipation that the preparation brings...I'll meet a cute guy or two...have a drinky drink...laugh with my girlfriends...hopefully cut a rug and sweat out my hair, somehow get home and collapse on my bed.

Sometimes all of my hopes are met. Sometimes just one out of the many. That's why preparation is always the funnest part and a guaranteed good time for me. Right now I'm waiting for my nails to dry. Hope I'm not messing them up as I type this...

So I twisted my hair this morning before I went to the gym and will wear a twist-out tonight. Hopefully it will come out ok, but I never know with my hair :( But I've been learning how to rock my hair and pull off acceptable hairstyles when my hair is being its most difficult, so I'm not too worried. If worse comes to worse I'll always have my trusty puff :)

Think I'm going to take a nap before Saturday night preparation begins...
