holy crap, i can't believe i don't have the urge to blog anymore. some days i do, i'm just lazy. and of course facebook sort of fills the gap with the constant mini updates that are status changes. and you know how i like the shorthand. so let me update you all kinds of quick best i can since last march:- work is still great, i love my job, though i have been on a trend for problems, i mean like

so since the red cross is consolidating (that's not as scary as it sounds for us in the lab job wise) over in Indiana and Ohio, for some reasonj they need help in the lab in Cleveland. so i jumped at the chance, not really thinking i'd get it. but sure enough, next week they're sending me. flight and hotel paid for. sweet. and arental car of course.

ok not really. but this garfield (which i don't norally find funny) comic in today's paper CRACKED ME UP BEYOND BELIEF. i was even having after laughs. (is that a word? it is now)and speaking of funny, "Chelsea Lately" is the best show ever (besides "Scrubs" of course)stay tuned for reports on the florida trip and the soon cleveland trip.

i know, so funny right? i go to florida and it hits a record low.luckily, i don't come down here for the hot ass weather. but i would like to get a little bit of color at least. it is supposed to warm up to 80 degrees by sunday. BUT, two things, #1- it's nowhere NEAR as cold as illinois, and #2- i'm not at work. which reminds me, i might have a chance to work at the red cross in cleveland the

while i will note i'm psyched for the new "scrubs" tonight (please don't cancel this show, i have a new love....yes "CSI" just doesn't do it for me anymore), here's some things i REALLY need to do in the next week:- wash my car. seriously, especially inside.- do my state taxes. i tried doing them on break at work, but on the test run i think i messed up. apparently i can't be getting $900 back.-

after i clocked out, today, i had 37 hours overtime.

mostly cause that seems to be the time i have for blogging. here i am @ work, about to spend the entire day mostly here. i mean there's stuff that would get me called in periodically, mainly @ 2 pm, 6 pm, 8 pm, then the good ole chicago mobile check in at around 1 am.

oh you knew i was gonna do it. yep, i got braces. no i don't have pictures. nice try. i got the clear ones on top and the regular ones on bottom. the procedure wasn't too bad, kinda uncomfortable having your mouth open that long, but the worst was after it's done and they hand you the mirror. not to sound all boo hoo, but i HATED that. in fact, the whole time the dental hygienist is explaining to

well it goes to show you that you never can tell. i still think (as do many other teams) the cubs had the best record in the NL (and in baseball for a while too). but then you'll have the occasional 2 or 3 game slump. i'm not making excuses either, it happens. unfortunately it happened during the playoffs for us. oh well, we had a great season and for that i'm happy. but they did sure break

so yes, this time (this happened a few weeks ago.....ON MY DAY OFF) it was my fault. who knew backing out at 3 mph could do so much damage to my car?in my defense (and even my mom said this), she was poorly parked...not even up all the way in the spot.well, at least it's driveable.

ME AS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ME! well ok, maybe some of you have but people at work just don't believe the stoopid pictures i have taken over the years. or how my hair really is blonde. and i'm showing these #1- cause i found a bunch of random pictures that don't necessitate a gallery and #2- because i'm the laziest writer ever. and yes most are of me, but i'm not narcissistic, i actually look pretty

so it seems i have evolved into a picture blogger. can i help it i have fun with my camera phone? actually, some of these are with my regular (and super nice....i need to USE it more) camera. sorry i only got a few at the wedding; i was so busy catching up with everyone i forgot i had it.here's our (holly, pete and i) room at the Hilton Suites (which really wasn't that pricey given the

is it weird i'm watching "Smallville" in my superman pajama pants?yea, i didn't think so.

so that had to have been the first wedding i've been to at a hotel. and hey the reception was right there too. holly and pete decided they needed a trip to chicago for no reason, so they taggged along. and by tagged along i mean they drove and took me out drinking friday night. that was cool, though, i didn't have to worry too much about making the trek to the windy city alone. anyhow,

because it's halloween of course. and that song is stuck in my head.so anyways, i really wish i could get into the habit of writing in this every day like i used to. the britt of 2010 is going to be really pissed when she can't take a decent stroll down memory lane 2007. and blogger is so much snazzier now, with auto saving of posts (gee, that woulda come in handy a few hundred times) and the

so the new (i think?) guy at the hucks in EP came across with a weird first impression.first question:"did you know your hair is purple?"no dude, it's blue. and at this point it's sorta green/tealish.second question: "1977.....that's the year i graduated high school (ho boy)....that makes you....47? 48?"yea. cause i look like i'm pushing 50. no offense to 50 year olds, but come on, he just

look i'm back, and with a green day song.so i had to get a connective soft tissue graft on friday. no, they don't knock you out, but at least they numb you up real good. it still sucked. as does not being able to eat hardly anything. i'd blame my tongue ring, but my periodontist was pretty honest and said "really, 90% is your anatomy." i got some pretty crooked teeth on my bottom row. if

(cause i can't think of any thing to say)so last bloomington visit, i venture over to take some artsy watterson towers pictures. (DORK!)that's right, when you go to do laundry in this dorm, you're all the way at the top.look, it's iowa. (actually the one white building on the right is where i used to live)this note to tonya was legit. til i added quotation marks. then other people went to town

ok, so the "she's a beauty" song by the Tubes was one of my favorites when i was little.....but now upon listening to the lyrics, i just realized it's about a damn stripper!

it's ok, i still love my cubbies. and i hate to be the pollyanna, but at least we got this far and we had an awesome year. AND i got to have an awesome game to go to. no offense those who scored tickets to the NDLS, but that would be depressing as hell.and on that note, bring on the fall!and GO ROCKIES!

why can't i find this anywhere anymore?all they have is Carmel Groove, which i admit tastes super good and smells even better but alas, gives you dragon breath.
