Turning 29-I am ok with it.

One more year in my twenties, where did the last decade go? Well, at least I can look back in the next year, and do that 'reflective' thing that everyone does. You know, "What have I done, What will be coming, and What do I NEED to do with life?" I know that isn't the true order of things- but I am aware of it as I see it for me.
SIGH.

But I will do that long list next year for the big 30.

For this weekend is going to be awesome- tomorrow on my actual day of birthing, I will be likely going to lunch and shopping with mom. Friday is shopping for painting stuffs, then partying with my boy and our freinds. Saturday I was supposed to go to Madison for a burlesque show/outdoor festival/campout thing...but I haven't heard anything about it-so if I get no confirmation I will likely not be going.

Memorial Day I am off as well-no plans but that is the last day Jay is in the country and I figure we will spend the day together. We will be apart for two weeks(sniff)...but I will keep myself busy with all the stuff coming up.

PHEW!

Painting my room-Chapter 1

So now that I live in a house, with a second floor all to myself-I want to make it look less like a demolition area.
My room is currently painted pastel purple-not a color condusive to my style. I am going for a black and red motif-red walls and black trim.
I went to Benjamin Moore paint today to get some color palettes for visual aids. I was originally going to go for a ochre red(brownish red), but that might be too dark. And I found this really neat color-ruby red. Dude Ruby red..just like my hair! hehe.

So I am planning on going all out on Friday to get paint and curtains with my mom and my freind who is driving us around.
Going to do a little more looking-maybe get some cheapo black paint samples to get started in the trim-as that will not take much time at all.
The second room is in need of all primer-that is more going to be a summer project. I have unpacked the nessecities for clothing, shoes and the like-but I feel like putting it all away now is stupid before I actually paint the rooms.

Yea...and so it goes.

-Moved in and dealing with new changes well.
-Jay is done with school, he graduates on Sunday-we celebrate that following Friday.
-I am turning 29 in a week-woohoo.
-Doing a burlesque show in Bay View for the first time tomorrow night, this after a 8 hour shift at work. I am sure much partying and good times will make up for the long day.
-Saw the new Star Trek movie, much awesomeness!
-Going to Madison to visit Sarah in two weeks.
-Not much else to mention-except i hate my job but what else is new?

Twitter, Invader,Birthday approaching...or what has been around me lately.

So, yea I recently joined Twitter-damn you  Ashton Kutcher! I found of all people on there(are you ready for this?) Brent Spiner, Wil Wheaton, Levar Burton(Star trek geek heaven!!)-Dita Von Teese(my burlesque inspiration), Neil Gaiman(always loved his work)- amongst a few others. I don't update it ALL the time(like I have that much free time on my hands!)-but it is nice to read the daily goings on about my fav celebs.

I recently auditioned for a local show called 'Invader I hardly know her', I felt I did well at the audition-but I didn't make the cut. Oh well! 

Oh yea did I mention I am 20 days from turning 29? One more year until I am in the 30 and over club. Jay and I are going to do a joint Bday/gradution party on the 22nd. He leaves for Europe for two weeks on May 26th, and while I am sad we will be apart that long-he has earned it for working his butt off. He will likely be applying for grad school this summer,and working towards taking his GRE test.

As for me, the month of May will be mostly working aside from Birthday and Memorial Day weekend where I am taking off five days.  I will need to get as much time with Jay as I can.

Mom was in the hospital again for drinking this week, I have nothing to say on the subject other then -"again?'

I want to move. I cannot afford this apartment anymore.

And I keep looking for the ever elusive second job-I am likely to get Swine Flu before I get a new job.

This week in whatevers...

I am in a weird place now, not totally unhappy-not completely happy..kinda in a weird ok space. I don't know if that is life and things being ok. And not being able to change the fact that i have no money, I am late on my electric bill and my rent this month, it is what it is.

-This weekend looks beautiful weather wise (72 degrees, maybe close to 80?), my good freind Steve is coming into town for the 'Big Game' which basically means just the boys doing what they do best in playing Warhammer 40K-Jay will be playing his Orks. He has been working on them religiously these past few weeks. Should be a good game. We all will be meeting up at Mad Planet for 80's/retro nite on Friday to get our boogie on.

-Oh Yea-did I mention I am the subject of a most interesting photo?

More on that later.

The burlesque show went great, we raised 2,000 dollars for juvenile diabetes.

It felt good to give my time and energies to charity.

Ciao for now.

It's a Good Day...

-Overdraft is paid off

-We raised 2,000 dollars at the Burlesque benefit for juvenile diabetes.

-I am so in love with my guy right now.

Life is getting better again.

FUCK!!

My overdraft keeps growing!

This coming pay will barely cover anything, I am hoping that the direct deposit advance I can still use, or I am screwed out of money for another two weeks.

(SIGH).

Other then that life is ok!

Work today and tomorrow, Show Saturday...yea!

My overdraft is finally paid off WOO!!
