Thank you for putting up with me
I am slowly starting to realize what a shallow and self centered person I was through most of my teenage years and a good part of college, and even now.
Over the past year I have become close friends with one of Ryan's oldest friends and I really do enjoy seeing her, talking to her, and spending time with her, but lately she is really trying my patience. But I love her as a friend and just want to help her.
She bitches about her job, her lack of a college degree, failed relationships (she's 24 and divorced), and is constantly bringing herself down - just like I used to do.
I try to cheer her up and give suggestions but she has an excuse for everything - just like I used to do.
Thank you to everyone who was there for me as a friend, no matter how long we have known each other or how close we are, or if we even talk anymore.
Thank you Amelia for always being there, for making me laugh, and for helping me to branch out creatively.
Thank you Aly for being there when I needed to vent about the stress of planning a wedding.
Thank you Chris for showing me the creative storytelling side of gaming, not just the hack and slash.
Thank you everyone for being the friend that I needed when I needed you the most.

Okay, so it's been almost 4 months....
It's been pretty crazy around here.
As Ryan has reported I did get a new job back in early July, and it has been fabulous. As a full time employee I am guaranteed 40 hours every week, and it has really helped us financially. I'm working in Libertyville now, which is less than a half hour drive to work and really close to Vernon Hills which has the largest JoAnn Fabrics that I have ever been in.
Kittens are doing well and being crazy.
I'm still working on developing ideas for my business, but it's been slow going. Though I'm already fairly certain about the cosplays that I'm making for ACen 2009. The only downside to leaving the Hyatt is that we lost the reservation I had made for ACen '09. Oh well, we'll wait until the room block opens up.
My birthday was early last month and was fabulous! My parents drove up and my brother took the train down and Ryan and I met them in Glenview for lunch, then we drove to the United Center and saw Cirque du Soliel: Kooza (the traveling show). It was the most amazing show I have seen in a long time! It was funny, but also had a good message in it as well. Afterward we had dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise. Then the next day (Sunday) Nicole joined Ryan and I at Bristol. I love Bristol so much!
I also watched as much of the Olympics as I could, which was a lot of fun.

Yep, still here
And two months later I am still stuck in my own personal hell. We are too busy for me to quit right now, but I am slowly and sort of secretly looking for something new. I have a promising lead with Walgreens (it helps that Ryan works for them), but I am also looking at State Farm. And there is a job fair on the 20th this month that I might attend. We'll see.
ACen is just around the corner, and I still don't know for certain if I have received the days off. That's the biggest thing I dislike about my job. I want to be able to plan for big events, not sit and wonder.
Oh well. At least I'm not scrubbing toilets.

I didn't realize that I hadn't updated this blog in over 6 months. Most of my rants have been posted in my Live Journal, and I have a new crafting blog on Blogger.
Nothing much has been going on. I still hate my job and I'm starting to look for something new. Last Friday I was criticized by coworkers for being too nice, and that just sent me over the edge. I haven't been happy with my job for awhile now and I'm ready for something that actually pays well (even with my new raise I only make $8.80 an hour). I'm a college graduate - I shouldn't have to work jobs like this anymore. But the economy sucks, and I'm stuck for now.
Oh well, more time for crafting then.

Currently Watching
Stargate SG-1 - Season 5 Volume 1 [Episodes 1-4] 2001

Work is a lot tougher than I thought. I am the only girl in Convention Services, and I can't wait until I can transfer to a different department (hopefully front desk or the management training program). What is Convention Services, you ask? Think of Housekeeping - in the meeting rooms. I set up tables, chairs, linens, vacuum, and a lot of other little things before the event, and tear it down afterwards. Yeah, definitely not easy. I come home stiff and store and exhausted most nights - even on the nights when I don't stay until 11:30pm to get my full 8 hours of work (I go in at 3pm). I've nearly finished 1 month there - just 5 more to go until I can transfer positions.
However, the main point of this post was to let everyone know that our wedding pictures are out on the internet! They will be up until September 25, so go and take a look, but don't order pictures from the site. Our photography package gave us the rights to the pictures to do with as we please. I can print copies of the pictures for $.25 each (instead of the $4 on the website). Just right down the picture numbers and either email them to me, or leave a comment with the info.
And without further ado:
