I'm back

Ok, so it wasn't that I wasn't aware that my blog hadn't been updated. Seriously, it's just that I couldn't get around to it. So, for all of you who don't already know, here is everything that is up with me:

First of all, I am still working at ACAD in Extended Studies. It has become a much more fun job than I originally thought thanks to my boss, Bonnie. She gives us all our jobs to do but is completely open with free speech and opinion which is really nice. Plus, I have an awesome coworker Shannyn, who makes the job super-fun. I am also still doing tutoring and strategist work during lunch hours and after school although I am reining that back a bit to a more manageable timeframe. Yes, I too can learn that going home every so often is a good thing.

Recently I also became a consultant for Passion Parties, which is both super fun and pays the bills. And it has made me realize something about myself; I really DO want to help people. I mean, I tutor because I want to help, I am a rep for bodywise because I want people to live healthier lives. And I am a consultant for PP because I really do believe that every woman should have her choice in having the best sexual experiences she can. YEAH ME!

Hmm, let's see, what else. Oh, I am going in to get my wisdom teeth removed on thursday. it should be fun. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to have them out. Especially since my mouth has been in constant discomfort these past few months, but honestly, I have never really had surgery before, and I have never been knocked out, not to my knowledge at least. And I am a little worried about my reactions to the I.V considering past reactions with needles. But I should be thinking positive, so that's what I am going to do. I'll probably be online a lot next weekend while I am recovering. That and catching up on my coursework.

Anyway, maybe that's it, i can't remember. Someone tell em if I missed anything.

A wife wife...

Today I decided to try to be a good wife...or at least, a better one. So, I cleaned the windows in the house, dusted, am currently doing the dishes, and did a load of wash. Ok, it doesn't seem like much, but frankly most of the time I get home from work and am so pooped on my day off I just lounge.

I hope that the effort was worth it. The house looks cleaner at least...I still have a lot to do - clothes to put away, bins to go through, but at least a few things are done.

And at least Chris and I finally got to spend a day together. Our first day really since we got married.

Someone please tell me this is going to get easier...

There goes the fun...

I'd like to thank the person who hacked the site for my Star Trek RPG....asshole...

It was quite the shock to go online last night and find two of the guys off the game ranting about how we had big problems. Then I actually went to the site to find this:

by Thehacker /Turkish Hacker Fuck israel no war

Gee thanks. Cause you know, destroying a site for a bunch of trekkies is really worth the effort. Or, perhaps it is, considering you now have a bunch of people who hate you.

Now the guy who made the site has to go back in and reconstruct it. I hope he had it backed up. And then we all have to backpost the last mission, that we JUST started a few weeks ago. It's a pain in the ass. In the meantime we are posting together like usual (the site being down isn't going to stop that) and we are saving them in word to our desktops. How inconvenient.

I'd just like to mention the little fact that if things like this could be considered terrorism, at least this time we won. After all, there are about 20 members on that site alone, and there are a few of us who talk nightly on the net. And actually, we've become good friends. We celebrate triumph within each others real lives, discuss hardships, and mourn with each other when a trgedy occurs.

So for all those idiots who think that pulling this crap is funny, know that you're not really destroying anything. After all, you can't break up friendships that easily. And if I've learned anything, it's that the people on the ship will come back twice as strong.

HAHA...Long Live the Andy!

A slight reprieve?

I am so happy now that I didn't listen to other people and get some crappy job. Thank GOODNESS!!!

The counselor at ACAD was all excied when I got into work on Friday. He had gotten it approved so Luba and I could work Monday to Friday, 8-5 for the next two weeks! Which is just wonderful. And he was fine with me not coming in every single day so that I can still make time for the gallery, which was great. About time I can afford to pay some bills. Now its just a matter of where I put the money. Oh, and I got contacts for a student who needed a strategist, so here goes...

I just love how opportunity falls into my lap. Of course, it would be nice if that opportunity would actually pay off for once...

Onto another day...

Wedding pics

So I figured that some people might like to see some wedding photos, especially those overseas (hem hem Ruth!) or those in the States. I just put a few in, as they are probably my favorites of me and Chris and one of me and my sister Andrea.

Ok, I know...they are JUST wedding pics...but hey, they're mine...

I have some really great friend pics too... but I'll just put those on if people want me too...so let me know

Oh, and sorry about the weird positioning..still learning how to put pics on here

So it begins

For anyone who care's to know, my world is sort of in a constant chaos right now. Not only am I am newly of just over a month, but I am also a very confused and flurried woman, in the midst of wondering: WHAT HAPPENED?!?!

Don't get me wrong, i love my life. But sometimes...

Ok, that seems a bit depressing, I know, but hey, life is like that sometimes.

So now onto the nitty gritty. I am trying to figure out my finances. Which to begin with is always a happy tree friends wave a dead corpse from a rooftop I am so happy kind of adventure, I know. But what makes it harder are the thirty million jobs i have on the go right now.

My goal is to be able to work on my art. Which would be wonderful, if only I could get this one project out of my head. It's stuck in there, and I can't seem to get it out at all, or even push it out of the way for other ideas. It is all consuming. In my previous knowledge, I know this is bad.

Then there's my bodywise business. Which to be honest, I AM superpsyched to be doing it, as I think that it is a really great business and the products are wonderful. But frankly, by the time I get home from all my other jobs, I'm pooped. The last thing I want to do is to call people. So, I am going to try to find another way. I am determined to find another way.

Third there's the job at my parent's place. I don't mind working there, especailly since at this point I am sort of just dropping in on my off days. Still though, it's one more thing for me to worry about.

Next is my job at ACAD. well, kind of job. It's really just Luba and I picking up all the broken pieces from the tutoring and mobility program, since they don't have anyone on staff right now. That'll probably be ending soon, but oh well.

Then there's the training I am currently undergoing to become a Strategist. I am starting to feel really good about doing this, especially since it will give me a lot of experience in case I want to go try to get into teaching again.

Which brings me to my next toboccle. Teaching...should I try to get into the U of C again? or not? If I do I should definitely go in the same way I did last year, through diverse qualification, especially since I will have the strategist work to back me up. But if I want to try, regardless I need to raise my GPA. Which means I need to get into a Liberal Studies class...I need to go talk to the registrar about it...stat...

Sigh...so much...and on top on that I have my wonderful husband, who is already worried about us, the plural US. He wonders why we don't spend too much time together and I don't think he understands that I am worried about US as well. I mean, the wedding was a disaster, and the honeymooner stage so far has included a lot of sacrifice on our part. I think this week I need to make up a schedule...or at least we need to discuss this further...

And then, of course, there's you, my friends. I feel bad because I never call anyone, never see anyone really. I hope I can start working this whole thing out. I'd really like to be able to pay a few bills, go to the movies without worrying about the charge card, and pay some of my student line of credit back, all while having a social life....

Am I dreaming? You tell me...

Welcome to my blog
