More About ME!

Well the subject sums it up.  I haven't updated in a few months so I thought I'd give it a whirl.  I love my job!  It's a lot of fun and I really like my coworkers.  But unfortuantely I am never happy!  I don't make enough $$ to support my habits (haha) so I am on the semi-search for a new job.  Mike says there's an opening at his company, something in their customer service department that starts at 40 grand so I'll be all over that once my resume is updated haha. 

Things are going really well for me and Mike.  It's almost been a year and a half and we're still getting along really well, etc.  He totaled his car over the weekend.  Thank God for 2 things...seatbelts and driving alone.  Had he not had his seat belt on or had anyone been with him, there'd be a whole different story to tell.  Basically he slid on something (salt maybe..not too sure), spun around, and wrapped around a telephone pole.  He's fine, just some scratches and stuff, but the car is not fine.  He's still waiting to hear back from the insurance company.  I can only imagine what a mess it's all going to be.  

Also I finally got the Louis Vuitton that I've been yearning for (since all I use LJ for anymore is purse discussion haha).  I did one of those freebie sites and got a Speedy 30.  I love it!  The size is perfect for me since I always carry around my life.  I will eventually take pictures (not like anyone hasn't seen one before) .  Now I am anxiously awaiting my tax return to see if the gift worth over $600 thing effects them.  We shall see! 

Soooo...I tried doing this earlier and hit the X without thinking, opps!  I got the Workforce Management Analyst position.  I am pretty excited, of course.  It's in Penn Center (in Monroeville), I've already done a calculation and I'll be driving almost 40 miles less per week!  And since I can just hop on the parkway my commute time will go from 30 minutes to 10 minutes.  Hell yea!  I'm so excited about that.  Technically I start on Monday.  Half of the day I'll be here working, then the other half I'll be in our other building training.  Then I'll probably have to wait until they find a replacement for me (impossible!) in order for me to train them.  Once I move in to the position, I'll be working 8-4:30 and every other Sunday.  I'm sure I will complain all day about working on Sundays, but I am definitely looking forward to having a day off during the week.  

I guess that's it for now.  We are going out to dinner tonight for the parents 30th anniversary.  I'm sure something will go wrong haha

I GOT IT!!!!!!!  Yay!!!!!!  More details tomorrow at work!

I am posting for a lack of anything better to do so why not give the play by play of my weekend.  I had a pretty nice one.  On Friday night me, Mike, Betsy, Jill, and Nora all went to the Woodland Hills high school football game.  It was a lot of fun, I've neverrrr seen the stadium so full.  It was a really good game, I was so happy that Woodland Hills won.  Normally I wouldn't have cared, but it's different being there, you get so into it!  When the other teams students realized they weren't going to win, they started yelling "You can't read" and "Hooked on Phonics"  I mean wtf?  You lost, get over it.  It's a high school football game, not life, and I am pretty sure that all the players can read since they are in highschool.  Woodland Hills gets such a bad rap because there's bad neighborhoods and such.  I get so annoyed when people get all big eyed like omg, YOU went to Woodland Hills?!?!  Yea I went there...and notice I am normal and unharmed?  Get over it!  Oh well.
So on Saturday we ended up getting a new dog.  His name is Sammy, he's a shepard mix (aka mutt), he's around 2 years old, and he's really, really sweet.  Him and a friend (who was already adopted) were found running across a pretty busy bridge in our area.  So sad.  But we are happy to have him.  Him and Copey seem to get along okay.  I think they are still getting used to each other.  I don't think Sammy has ever been around smaller animals because he's not sure what to do with Charley bunny.  He's like a little busy body...everytime someone gets up to go to the kitchen, upstairs, whatever, he follows close behind.  I think he'll make a nice little edition to our family.  
What else is new...I am still waiting to hear about the job.  My would-be-boss told me on Friday that she wanted to have a decision made already, but she thought it wouldn't be until early this week.  So hopefully I will know either way soon.  
Yesterday was a quiet day.  We did a little Target shopping in the morning then I went over to Mikes to watch the horrible Steeler game.  

I think the phone at work knows when I am trying to snack.  Because it always rings right as I am putting a pretzel in my mouth, so annoying.  Mmmm salt. 

Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day....wtf? Of course, when I called Betsy with my Pirate accent to tell her this someone walked out in the lobby and saw/heard me. Oh well, if he didn't know by now that I sit here and do nothing all day then he isn't paying attention anyway.

So I had an interview on Friday for Workforce Management Analyst. I think it went really well. (as always, ugh, yet I am still sitting here) Basically the job is making the schedule for CSR's, approving/denying vacation, sick, personal days, and making sure everyone is on task. There's this computer system that I could go into and see what everyone is doing, and if it looks like they aren't on task I call them up.......HAHA!!!! I thought that was so cool. Also the job is in Monroeville, which is so much closer to home. Out of all the jobs I've interview for this summer, I think this one is the best fit for me. So I am keeping my fingers crossed! I asked her when she was looking to fill the position and she said she wanted to have a decision made by this Friday. Hopefully that actually happens, at least I would know asap either way. The lady I interviewed with was really cool. I think she's the director/supervisor, whatever, of Workforce Management. She's the type that is like, this is what I want done and this is how you do it...but if you have suggestions for improvement I am open to them. I think that's awesome, that's actually the kind of worker that I want to be so it would be great to work for someone like that.

So I have sold stuff on ebay. And once again, the person was bidding up until the end of the auction but hasn't bothered to pay yet. That seriously drives me nuts!!! If you are there bidding at the last second, take 5 more seconds and pay for it.

Just got an email, I have an interview tomorrow for the Workforce Management Analyst position.  I am excited, I'm really hoping that the third time is the charm here!

PS...time is going normally today, unlike yesterday.

So I got these new pants for interview purposes...but I wore them today.  Is it horrible to wear them again tomorrow?

I am doomed.  

Minutes = Hours

Well last week was pretty shitty.  I of course had last Monday off.  I had a nice day, didn't really do much.  We didn't have a cookout, just cookout food and Shawnelle came over so that was fun.  Afterwards me, Betsy, Nora, and Jill went downtown to the viewing of the mayor.  I didn't know him personally or anything, I just thought it was so sad.  Pittsburghs last mayor really sucked, so I think everyone was just as excited about Bob O'Connor as he was about being the mayor.  So then Tuesday happened, no big deal.  I think I had my normal bad day at work but whatever.  Then I woke up on Wednesday morning to the news that my beloved dog Missy died :o(  Our family will never be the same.  We got her in 1995 when me and Betsy were in 8th grade.  So she was about 13.  She's been sick all summer, but she was just at the vet 6 days before.  He found a tumor in her lungs, but said it wasn't life threatening.  I of course don't blame him, I think it was just her time.  Needless to say we all took it very hard.  I didn't tell anyone at work though.  Kinda weird.  I think I just don't want to be close with these people.  I really like them, but whatever.  Also it seems like anytime I start talking about something, I get interrupted with "Oh that's like the time blah blah blah" and I just didn't feel like listening to it.  When our last dog Cindypup died, we got another one like 3 days later.  That dog actually bit me, so we gave him away (don't worry, he went to a very nice family!) and then two weeks later we got Missy.  Without a dog in the house it's SO weird!  Missy was of course a welcome addition to our family.  She had so much personality, she was totally her own person (dog..don't tell her that), she made her own decisions, complete attitude, so precious, etc.  With a family full of girls, she fit right in.  So natually (I guess) we were all thinking right away of getting another dog.  We still have Copey which is nice so the house doesn't seem so empty.  It seems so weird without Missy.  I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we are not ready to fill her spot yet.  I think Copey might be a little lonely, but he's so different that Missy was, it's hard to tell with him.  He was definitely looking for her the morning it happened.  Then I gave him a dog treat that has a fortune written on it..named Fortune Snookies haha.  His fortune was "You will have a four legged friend that brings you great joy."  I literally just stood there and stared at it, I couldn't believe it!  How weird is that?  

Thursday was supposed to be a fun day for me.  My boyfriend had Steelers tickets so I was totally looking forward to going to my first game.  Well I woke up on Thursday sick as hell.  I had to take yet another unpaid day off (5th one this summer, beautiful), and I had to cancel my Steeler plans.  Let me tell you...my dog dies, I get sick and have to take the day off, then you're taking the Steeler game away from me?!?!?!  Yea, I definitely had a black cloud over my head.  Friday I was just as depressed...I didn't even do anything all day except sulk around at work then later at home.  I couldn't even eat due to my sickness from the day before...so I couldn't even drown my sorrows in food!  I started getting better on Saturday.  Me and Mike had a really nice day.  We went to his dads church picnic for a little, then to the mall.  I wanted to check out stuff at Coach since I got the 25% coupon.  I ended up doing some damage at the Limited and Victorias Secret.  Then on our way home we got some liquor and chinese food, then watched the first 4 episodes of Lost from season 2.  Definitely Saturday was a nice day.  I didnt do much yesterday, took advantage of my CVS discount and bought some makeup, filled up the ole tank ($2.56/gal isn't too shabby!), then me and Mike went to dinner at Fridays.  They have new apetizers which are pretty delicious.  We got the Potato Skinny Dippers.  Very spicy!  Things with me and Mike are going so well.  I of course really like him, but I also like his parents/family that I've met so far.  His mom and aunt met my mom, grandma, aunt, etc. at Betsys candle party.  Everyone liked everyone so that was great.  I just can't believe that it's been 10 1/2 months already!  Crazy how fast time flies.  He's looking into buying an ice company from one of his vendors.  I can't get used to the idea.  I just worry that he doesn't know what he is getting in to.  

I have been waiting on word from my HR manager about the 2nd job I interviewed for her...6 weeks ago.  Well I think I can forget about that job.  She came to me today telling me about another job she applied to for me.  This one is Workforce Management Analyst.  I am trying to stay positive, so I am excited about another possible opportunity.  I'd be working in the call center, and I think working with statistics and scheduling, etc.  So hopefully 3rd time is the charm here!  

Sorry about the pity party and the boring events of my weekend haha...I am just bored at work and felt like typing.  Finally, the countdown is on, 15 minutes until I can get out of here so I better start cleaning up. 

Current Location: Work
Current Mood: calm
Current Music: Elevator music

Dare I say it?  I am enjoying my Friday believe it or not.  I still hate my job haha, but it hasn't been so bad the past few, I think mostly because I've actually been busy.  I'm not used to having work to do!!  I'm super excited though because I get off work at 3 today for Betsys going away party/new job downtown.  I asked to leave at 4 but I got 3 instead...hey, you won't hear me complaining about that!  So I am going to do a quick wardrobe change in the yuck bathrooms here, fix my makeup, then hop on 28 for downtown.  I'll stop in the bank, smooze for a few, lie about getting a promotion at my new job (hey, there's nothing wrong with that! It's still in the works so technically it's not lying, right?), meet up with my boyfriend, then head off to party!  I am so excited!!  1 hour, 51 minutes to go!

Today at work is super boring....just like every other day haha. I shouldn't complain too much though, my morning went really fast. I had to go HIPAA training..just in a computer room and we worked on our own, listening to a headset.  It wasn't bad at all...I can just never figure out why when people have a question if there's no one in charge available, they always ask me!  Wtf haha, I guess it just looks like I know what I'm doing.  Anyway, I interviewed for another internal postion here, Account Coordinator like 3 weeks ago (I can't remember if I posted about it or not haha).  But the interview went awesome!  The thing I'm worried about is do I really want this job?  I know it would be cool because I know a lot of the coordinators already, and they're nice.  But at the same time, I have NO idea what I want to do with my career!  I just know that working at the bank and doing what I am doing now are not cutting it.  My job has been getting stressful, I almost feel silly saying that because it is so easy.  Just at times it can be really annoying.  The phone system here is really really poorly designed, so I think that's the root of a lot of my problems.  Also, with all these internal interviews lately, I see a potential end to the front desk madness, and it just makes me so impatient to get out of here!  Well one of my friends that works in the department just told me that the director is on vacation this week.  So that's an excuse why things are at a standstill for the time being!
Oh well, I have some pictures to post but I will probably wait until I get home.  So that's it for now!!

Me, Betsy, Nora, Jill, and my mom all went to the Pirate game on Friday night.  It was such a nice time!  Here are two pictures...

Pirate Betsy, the new Pirate mascot, and Pirate Becky (Long story haha)


The 4 biggest Pirate fans ever, Jill, Me, Betsy, and Nora (she fell asleep from all the excitement!)

Okay so I just had an interview for customer service supervisor here.  This was all my boss'/supervisors idea.  Anyway, basically the only thing that I keep in mind is that it's a 10K pay raise, plus bonuses.  I mean obviously I'm gonna go for it!  Well I had the interview today and I just don't know how it went!  And to be honest I just don't know if this is the type of job that I want!  And that is almost stupid for me to say because I don't know what kind of job I want!  I am very indecisive and it's annoying haha.  Oh well.  I guess I will wait to make any type of decision until I see if the managers want to hire me.  I'm also waiting on a call from another interview.  I have already interviewed with the woman that would be my boss, but this week her supervisor is supposed to be conducting phone interviews.  Well it's Thursday and I still haven't heard from her.  I kind of don't care though.  haha I know I shouldn't say that, but I don't.  I was sick Sunday/Monday/Tuesday and I always feel like I'm so busy, so I really don't care, I feel like I can't be bothered by it.  

Anyway, I am just kind of thinking out loud about my interviews haha  Any thoughts on my never ending job dilemna would be appreciated!!

Things have been going pretty well.  I've been having a really nice summer!  Other than work of course.  I really hate my job and am getting continually frustrated there.  I have been on 3 interviews in the past few weeks though.  One didn't work out at all, but the other two went really really well.  Of course now the waiting begins.  Job filling is never a quick process ugh!  
Well me and Mike got a dog.  It's mostly his dog but I helped him pick it out and such.  She's a 5 year old pitbull mix named Jasmine.  Until last night she has been a well behaved angel!  Me and Mike were at my friend Laras house cooking out when his mom called him to come home asap because she had wrecked the house.  The damage wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but Mike and his parents were completely crushed.  We're not gonna give the dog back though, just do a few things differently and *maybe* start to crate her.  Not necessarily during the day, but in the evening if no one is going to be home.  I'm not really an expert on crating dogs though, all of ours have never needed to be.  Mike was so upset though, I felt terrible.  He always blames everything on himself.  
So I'm super annoyed.  I sold a few things on Ebay which worked out to have perfect timing since I need to put 2 new tires on my car.  Anyway of the 4 things I sold, one got damaged in the mail and one the girl hasn't even bothered to pay for it!  My auctions always say to pay within 3 days.  Well it's been 9 days now.  I always give people a second chance, I don't want to jump to conclusions or anything but this is ridiculous.  She had emailed me mid-week saying oh I thought I paid you, I'm so sorry!  Well pay me and you don't have to be sorry.  I haven't heard anything from her since.  It's just so stupid, anytime I buy stuff on Ebay I always pay right away so I don't want to worry about it.  But I'm not going to let her discourage me.  Number one I'm going to file a report with Ebay right away tomorrow, and number two I still have more things to sell haha.  
In other news, Big Brother has started for the summer!  My favorite show ever.  Where else can you watch 3 episodes a week, plus watch the Live Feeds 24/7?!?!?!  I haven't bought the live feeds yet, but I will when the time is right haha.  I am such a moron though, I thought I was going to have to buy new speakers because mine stopped working a few months back.  Well, in true Becky fashion, I had just unplugged them at some point and must have forgotten haha.  When I realized I was sooo pissed!!
Today is a very lazy Saturday.  I'm used to running around everywhere on weekends so I don't mind at all.  I'm thinking about going and taking nap #2 of the day!

Let season 7 of Big Brother begin!!!  I am sooo excited!!!

In other news, I have an interview on Friday for a Source Recruiter at a company up the street from where I work now.  And I've also been contacted by Pitt for an Employee Relations Coordinator position!  I'm returning the call tomorrow, I'm so excited!!!

Current Mood: happy

Well we got back from the beach yesterday.  We had such an amazing time!!!  We stayed in Brighton Beach, NJ.  It's on Long Beach Island which is about 50 miles north of Atlantic City.  It was such a gorgeous town!  Of course I loved it because it was full of rich people and enormous houses.  Anyway, I didn't have any high expectations at all.  I almost wasn't even excited to go, mostly just excited to get out of town and work for a week.  So we get there (after getting lost on the drive of course) and we get to our little house.  It was 25 steps from the sand which I absolutely loved, no flip flops needed!  And we hadn't seen any pictures of the inside of the house, so I didn't know what to expect at all.  It was SO cute!!!  Three bedrooms, one bathroom, outside front porch and inside side porch, large living room, eat-in kitchen (or eat in chicken if you've seen Girl, Interrupted haha), outside back deck, and outside shower.  All week we basically just laid back and relaxed.  Being on the beach was awesome, there was no one there haha.  I've been to Ocean City a few times and I hate that sea of people that's there.  The waves were fierce, so it was really fun to get in the water, except that it was freezing.  Me and Betsy drove down to Atlantic City on Tuesday to pick Mike up.  It is awesome there!!  We were only there for like 30 minutes but it's all bright lights and excitment haha.  I'm so mad though, we drove past the Coach outlet and we were going to stop, assuming that his bus would be late coming in.  Of course it wasn't. Ugh.  We ate out acouple times, drove around.  But mostly just laid on the beach haha.  I was nervous about Mike coming.  I mean, there were 6 women, an infant girl, and a girl dog haha.  But he even said the same thing to me but that it wasn't as bad as he expected it to be.  And my mom said that she was happy he came.  So that of course made me happy.  He definitely had a great time. 
We're already planning our trip next year haha.  We want to get the same house, I mean seriously, 25 steps to the beach, what could be better???  But the rest of the family might come so we'd have to upgrade to something larger. 
Anyway, I'm not sure what else to say about my beach trip other than I had a great time.  I'm not really looking forward to work tomorrow, but it will be fun because they stuck some moron to fill in for me and I know the stories are going to be hilarious.  It's nice to get back into the swing of things, but I'm definitely going to be daydreaming about how much fun I had!  Here are a few pictures, and I will add more later...they've been developed but not scanned yet!
Me and Mike in the freezing ocean...I wish we would've gotten more of us swimming.  The waves were so fierce (esp. with the hurricane or whatever it was passing, and the fact that we were in the water during high tide) I bet they would've been hilarious!


Jill, Mike, Me, Nora, Betsy....and Annie, miss afraid of the water puppy haha



The aunts and Nora...Jill, Nora, and me...I love this picture!



Nora checkin out the ocean.  She was sooooo cute!  Check out the masterpiece house behind them haha, yea that was what was next to us!  I want to stay there next year!!  (Yea right)



My mom with Nora



Nora being intrigued by her moms drink...don't worry, Nora wasn't drinking any Coke!!!


OHHHH, and I got a free Razr haha!  Check out www.gadgetcity.com  It actually works!  It takes forever though, I started on Jan 29 and finally got the phone last week.  It's awesome though!  Now that I've tried a freebie website that works, I'm definitely going to try more! 

Current Mood: ....but hot as hell!!!

I just thought I'd do a quick update before I retire for the night. Things have been going alright for me. I started my new job...and I hate it haha. The people I hang out with there are awesome, which of course always helps. But the job itself sucks. The phone system there is so wacky, I get a ton of calls a day for the customer service line. I dunno, it's really stupid. I get so many calls that I'm barely able to do any work. I had some stuff to do the other day that should've only taken an hour or so..yea it took almost 2 days because of the phones. Kind of like at the bank, I find myself sitting there and thinking "I went to college for this?!?!" a lot. Anyway, lucky for me I already have an interview for an HR assistant position at UPMC lined up on Thursday evening. Hopefully all goes well and I'll have good news to report with!!

Things are going really well with me and Mike. We hang out all the time, maybe too much. I shouldn't complain though, he's a great guy and I think I'm really lucky to have him. We went to his friends house tonight to watch movies. I *finally* saw Pulp Fiction. I was getting annoyed during the movie because I don't really like all that violence and such, but now that I'm thinking about it I think I really liked it. Oh well. In other news, 4 weeks until we're leaving for the beach, yay!!!

Well I started my new job on Wednesday. It was such a bittersweet ending at Citizens. I sat down and talked with the regional about some issues I thought needed to be solved in order to keep people working there happy. He's a really nice guy and I wish I would've had more of a chance to work with him. He was very responsive to every thing I said and also agreed with everything I said. See, I'm not a moron ;o)
Anyway, I was insulted because my managers didn't even do anything for me. I took like 2 hours the night before and wrote out little cards to everyone and such, and I got nothing in return. I was highly annoyed. But that only made me even happier to be out of there.

So I started my job the next day. I was so nervous driving there! It's so weird because I worked at the bank for 2 years, so every day when I commuted there I pretty much knew exactly what to expect and going to the new job I was sooo out of my comfort zone. Anyway, it was awesome. I got my ID badge, haha I can not ever take a nice picture for things like that. Then one of the HR coordinators took me on a tour of the building which was awesome. In the basement there's a lab for all of the prescription drug filling and such. Everything is all automated and high tech, I've never seen anything like it before so it was really cool. After that I got to learn about the benefits (CVS is based out of Rhode Island...so is Citizens aka same benefits, go figure). Then I sat in the other HR coordinators office and read about the benefits and I was totally falling asleep. All I could thing was cooooooffeeeeeeeee...latteeeeeee..I neeeeed you! I never realized how busy I was at the bank, even my downtime was busier than my first morning at the new job. After lunch, I got to do HR work and it was so exciting! They have a huge calling center in our building, in another building, in Monroeville, and in a few other states. So I was calling applicants to give them a job offer and schedule them for training and I transferred exit interview information onto a spreadsheet. It was basically busy work for the other HR people, but for someone dying to get into HR it was exciting and fun.

Thursday and Friday I spent at the front desk. Not as fun as HR work but still work. I answer the phone, help people with their prescriptions, and I schedule interviews for the HR department but mostly for the calling center. And I help the interview-ees when they come in. I'm not too impressed with the front desk stuff, but I knew I wouldn't be. As long as they keep the HR work coming I'll be happy. On Wednesday I'll be staying at work late to help out with a job fair, so that should be fun.

Well anyway, I'm playing on Ebay here looking for a gift to buy myself haha.

Well I'm officially 24 now. Me and Betsys birthday was yesterday. The actual day was pretty uneventful, which is fine with me. We all went out on Saturday night. One of my coworkers organized it, but we just went to Hard Rock then to the Matrix (yuck). I wish I was more in tune with what was cool in Pittsburgh (if anything) because I would've loved to go anywhere but the Matrix. Anyway, a bunch of my coworkers then Betsy, Jill, Shawnelle, and Mike came. It was definitely a nice time, but I wish we would've had it on another night since Pittsburghs St Patricks celebration was the same day. How I loved drunk, slobbering people everywhere. After dinner we went to the Matrix. Definitely didn't last there long. Shame because I was actually looking forward to getting really drunk haha. I stayed over Mike's then we were supposed to meet up with some people for brunch. Never happened though because we couldn't find the place. I won't even get into the fit that Mike threw while he was driving. So just the two of us ended up at Eat n park haha.

For the rest of the day I hung out with Betsy and Nora. We went to South Hills with our birthday winnings lol. Betsy got a sweet black iPod and I got some really cute Coach sunglasses which I'm patiently awaiting the arrival of since all they had were the display. Then my mom made us my fav dinner of lasagna and for the rest of the night I prepared for my interview today.

Yea I said it, I had an interview today! I think it went really well too. It's for an HR assistant position at Pharmacare (a mail order pharmacy) and it's right up 28 in RIDC Park. Actually really easy to get to once someone told me I was in the wrong building haha. I honestly really think that I'm what they're looking for and I know that they're what I'm looking for. It seems like it might be a little monotonus (sp?) at first, like a lot of front desk work and whatnot. But he said once I'd get the swing of things they wanted to incorporate a bunch of HR stuff into the position and it would be a great way for someone like me to gain experience and basically build their resume.

I tried to be sooo prepared! I tried to remember all the advice that ipanema_duchess got when she was preparing for her interview. I did some internet research of the company and wrote a bunch of stuff down. I also sat down and thought of the normal questions people ask at interviews and jotted down some answers. And I think the part that the interviewer seemed most impressed with were my questions, specifically "Can you describe a day in the life of the person working this position?" I also asked about opps for advancement and how long he thought the hiring process would take. Preparing and writing a bunch of stuff down helped SO much! When he asked what I do at the bank, you'd think it would be easy to answer but when you're under the pressure of interview stress, it's really hard to answer simple questions! But since I wrote stuff down and reviewed it before I went it, the answers seemed to flow so much more smoothly. So keep your fingers crossed for me!

I also had a doctors appointment today to discuss the migraines I've been getting. She prescribed the same pills that my mom and sister take. I hope they work out for me! She mentioned that she really thinks that exercising helps to prevent migraines. With that said, I can't wait until the nice weather gets here haha. I just can't bring myself to get off of my butt when it's cold out so that sucks.

Well that's enough updating for now...I can smell dinner cooking!
