updates

the apartment:
it's coming together. we've hung a few things. the second bedroom is still a disaster. i have so many ideas on how it could look better but have no money to buy the things to make it so. it's hard not being able to get what you want rightnow. kari and mark are going to visit this summer - hopefully there'll be enough room for them to sleep in there by then.


my mental state:
i'm far less crabby today. in fact - i'd go so far as to say i'm not crabby at all! (period going away = happy michelle) slightly frustrated with myself for not completely a workout dvd but the squats and lunges i did yesterday have made my thighs want to run away and hide....


christopher:
still amazing. still incredibly awesome. still love him an insane amount. still amazed that he loves me (and all my craziness)!


my job:
see previous post. nuff said.


crocheting/knitting projects:
i think i mentioned that i finally finished all of my christmas presents(!!!!!) i even finished the two burp clothes for my co-workers baby! now i just have to manage actually getting those things in the mail/delivered (this is the part where i usually fail). i am desperately trying to find a cute way to organize my yarn - having it neatly stored but yet visable (ideas? i'm thinking crates....)


my fat:
still (annoyingly) here. i'm working hard to make it go away though. according to the scale at work i'm down one pound. only 34 more to go......


minerva:
suprisingly more likable. as soon as i wrote that post about her she changed her tune. she will now tolerate you getting close(er) to her face and petting her. she has even taken to sleeping right by my head and also jumping into the sink whenever i'm in the bathroom doing anything in front of the mirror - kinda cute.


albus:
he's still incredibly strange. lick. lick. lick. lick. lick. lick. lick. lick. lick - you get the picture.


my hair:
it's getting long - but not cute long. it's that inbetween stage - neither long nor short. it's driving me insane and i desperately want to cut it but i'll give it a go until the end of may.


my stomach:
not hungry but chris is making dinner so i think i'll go chat with him :)

please...please...please....

....SHUT UP!

the kids in the apartment next door are continuously stomping in place - or so it sounds - and have been doing so for the past hour. I'm sitting here with the music up loud(er) and I can still feel the vibrations from them in my chair.

i would go over and maybe tell their parents to tell them to shut the fuck up but i don't think it would help. i heard them come home last night (with the kids running and screaming right outside my door) and the parents sounded dumber than a box of rocks.

it seriously sounds like there are at least 5 kids over there! if you cannot afford more than a 2 bedroom apartment perhaps you should not have 5 brats running around over there like monkeys. and if you must have that many children then teach them to be respectful of others. the room they are acting like jumping screaming beans in borders a bedroom (granted we don't use it for that purpose but they don't know that!)!

i'm going to put on my ipod and exercise. if they are still pulling this shit when I'm done I might go crazy.

Oy! Part 2

so i set the alarm for 8am and woke up at 10am! since then i've been scrambling trying to shower and clean and so far you can't really tell that i've done either.....


the apartment will not be clean by the time company arrives so i'm going to just...not give up...but not stress either. i should exercise. i'll do that. i think i've mentioned it in every blog this week but it really has been going good. and not having time to do it this morning has added to that anxiety - so i'll do it now. megan is busy with nathan and mandy right now anyhow so i won't be meeting up with them until this afternoon. treadmill - here i come!


clean schmean - the apartment looks lived in :)
