jesus, finally this bastard is posting.

***BEWARE ALL BLOGGERS***

dont do that freakin' Hello picture posting to your blog crap. its all a sham.

trust me. i'm 99% sure thats why i couldnt get this sucker to publish for the last few days. you can chat and share pics with it, but its post to blog program is whack.

.

anyways i'm off to the wilds of Wyoming to party with the real cowboys. wish me luck with the Jim Beam, red meat and republicans.

blogger is not cooperating, trying to post...

arrgh...

hi. i am sooo frustrated right now. Blogger is trying to tell me that this nifty new Hello program will quickly and seamlessly help me to download images to my Blog. i like to consider myself pretty web saavy, but i'm about to freak right now as i cant figure this thing out to save my life. the program seems not very well thought out. or, i'm just a ding bat. (i posted this pic my normal annoying way through my website..)

in other news. the wedding was smashing. actually i would say that we, my sisters and cousins and family, are smashing. we closed down the party when all of the wedding party and friends were long gone. its funny that my cousin who got married is the most conservative of the bunch (he's the only boy too). even though my family can drive me nuts, i appreciate the fact that my Dad and stepmom and uncles know how to have a good time. my Dad was wrangling all of us out to the bar for tequila shots and dancing like a maniac. seriously. it was good times. when my sisters and Lisa and occasionally our cousin Katie get together on a partying mission, it always gets wild. after closing down the wedding, we rolled into The Office in Cardiff complete in wedding regalia. Lisa and the only other bridesmaid left standing were in their matching get ups. we got a lot of looks. it was great. we were this tidal wave of high heels and fancy dresses and evening bags and gin and tonics...

its kinda crazy the dynamic that has formed with my three sisters, my closest cousin and myself. we talked about it a bit this weekend... we always seem to be partying solo, partially because thats the way we want it, and probably also due to the fact that a group of loud, obnoxious girls, obliviously drinking and laughing like showgirls is probably fairly intimidating/annoying to the outside observer... crazyness. i cant imagine life without them, and thats probably also why i dont really have many girlfriends. i have enough feminine (or maybe not-so feminine) support as it is...

anyways. i'm blathering. and starving. gonna go get some eats and pick up the mail and hopefully ditch out on work early to go mow the lawn...

hey y'all.

sorry for the lack of bloggage, i'm kinda all over the place, if not physically, definitely mentally. but, here's the one tidbit i have to offer today, i'm doing round two of the mix CD. so for any and all interested, please let me know and i'll put you on the list. it may be a few weeks before it goes out, as i am on the wedding circuit for the next few weeks. down to SD this weekend, back up to Idaho for a few days, then driving out to Wyoming with Pete for Memorial Day weekend. good times.

hope everyone is well. it is pouring rain up here--yay. but the bad part of that is that my PR firm peeps are here, and i have a feeling they're going to be rendered helpless if they have to get in a car and drive down to Twin if their flight doesn't make it out... ugh. hopefully i wont have to deal with that scenario...

werd.

so...

i am having a hard time at work as of late. you'd think i'd get into gear seeing as last week i got an ass-chewing, but no. all i can concentrate on is gardening, or reading news, or listening to Air America or whatever besides what i should be doing. i think i was like this last year at this time though too. if i'm not slammed, my head is in the clouds... i should check my blog posts from this time last year, and see hwere i was at. speaking of, i think i'm not too far off from my two year blog anniversary! OG!

other than that, not much. am going down to SLC for the weekend. one of my friends is opening his restaraunt/bar on Saturday nite, and Red Bull is having their Heavy Metal Rail Jam that day too--which sweetens the deal cause i can get away with expensing at least some of our trip. plus i've been so holed-up and anti-social recovering from my travel schedule for the last few weeks, the pendulum is swinging back to the opposite end--i think i'll be ready to throw down and have a long nite by this weekend.

and, the two following weekends. in 2 weeks is my cousin Erick's wedding, and the weekend after that is the cowboy wedding in Wyoming. i cant wait for that one. craziness and much mayhem will ensue, its going to be great.

i gotta go deposit my last expense check in the bank, this time was a tight one. i came digustingly close to bouncing more checks, but i think i pulled it off. any money managers out there????

check this out. interesting deal. kind of like friendster, but hipper.
more creative/collaborative/whatever.

this is what i've been doing with my time since i got in trouble yesterday.

i am SO smart.

so. i just got in trouble at work. by the pres. not good. it was definitely my error. it was a press release i'd written on new restructuring in the company and one sentence was worded incorrectly. apparently, it is now adding fire to an already flaming political shit storm. i should have double-checked the info before sending it out. definitely. i thought i had an understanding of peoples previous titles/positions, apparently i didnt. again, i should have confirmed it--my bad. but, whatever. i think people are freaking on things that have absolutely nothing to do with me, and i just happened to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. fuck.

whatever. its probably good for me. i will admit fully, that i can be lazy. i get overwhelmed, and burnt out, and i cut corners. so maybe this was my yearly ass-kicking reminder. i've always been able to get by in life without really having to try too hard. maybe i should take this as a clue... either way, i'm trying not to worry too much about it. our pres is definitely a reactor. he's an awesome guy, but he kinda freaks out over minor details sometimes, so hopefully it will be forgotten shortly.

speaking of my job security, i just got offered a first look at a copywriting job for DC Shoes. not sure what exactly that consists of... i would imagine its a LOT of writing. which wouldnt be so bad, except for the fact that i wouldnt be involved so much with the art side of things... either way, i'm looking into it.

other than that, not much happening. trying to get my house refinanced, in order to have more monthly $$ and get a bit extra for some upgrades i want to do. freaky that i am making money outside of my paycheck. like Eryn, i have never been fiscally brilliant. moneys always around in some capacity, sometimes in abundance, sometimes not, and i just kinda roll with it. i actually, sadly, am banking on marrying someone who is way better at it than i am, so i wont have to deal with it anymore. they can take my paycheck, give me an allowance, and send me off, and i'll be good to go. is that sad?

anyways, i probably should get back to work. i'm under extra scrutiny... ugh. :(
