Blah....blah...blah...

So for those of you who have been pineing way to know how I did on my final....you'll be happy to know I aced them both. I was quite THRILLED with myself. Although I know when my teacher actually comes back from medical leave, things won't be so easy, but I still continue to study as much as possible to keep up with the rude awaking some people will be getting when he returns.

I had another test today, did pretty well I think. Maranda is a good teacher, but sometimes she give us TOO many of the answers so no one actually opens their book, just the notes she gives us. Not good, not good. But it's their grade not mine.

Work is work as usual. I can be a 'challenge' at times not to want to hurt someone when they get REALLY rude with you , but I blame it on too much coffee not enough social life. Then again, that very much could describe me.....except I gave up coffee since Dayne and I broke up. I drank too much of it....it's not good for my health and I think I was getting too much caffeine. But the social life part...yeah, that's definitely true. I'll be taking on a full shifts as coordinated in August at Bennigans due to Toni having her hysterectomy. I'm glad, but not because I won't have the money in my pocket right away, but AT LEAST, I'll have a nice check coming and I won't spend the money as quickly as I do when it's in my pocket.

So, I'm going to Ohio in 1 week for Heather's brother's wedding. It's the 4th weekend, and my dumb ass thought it was 2 weeks away so now I have Sunday to find something nice to wear, clean the house, do laundry etc. Sunday will be busy it seems.....The week after that I have Tracy and Bruce's wedding reception, then I'm back to normal for a while. It's going to be a nice LONG 2 weeks of running around. But it's cool and it'll get me out of the house, for once. :)

Just FYI, I do have a 'friendly competition' going on with a friend from school. Stephanie and I are competing to see who can loose the most INCHES in 3 weeks. We were going for 2...but then realized it's the 4th of July weekend, it's going to be hard to stick to a diet when there's so much BBQ going on. And for me...I'll be traveling AND going to a wedding then BBQ. It'll be tough but I'm going to TRY not to eat like I've never eaten before :) You know me I like food. It is my boyfriend and never lets me down :) it does however break my heart when I step on a scale, but comforts me in the end .... HA! Basically ... if you see me eating something I shouldn't ... take it from me and say Stephanie wouldn't eat that... or something to that effect.

So, the last words today are for you Kivi.....

In a New York minute......

Let's dance let's shout

....shake you body right to the ground.

So yesterday I attempted to have a get together of sorts for Kivi's B-day. The big 22. Heather and I made food, I moved some stuff around, and preped for the people to come. Gemma and Jeff were the first to show, then Heather and the birthday boy, then....well...there was supposed to be a then but it didn't seem to work out that way. Lots of people told me they were coming, and then didn't...but hell what'ca going to do right?

Monica did drop by for a quick moment, she was called away to dinner with the fam. Mistarz did finally show late in the day with Heather and Megan but only stayed briefly before they took off. So the important people showed, and maybe we didn't have as much fun as getting ticketed in Lake Forest. Fun was still hat I think.

Other than that, life is the same old...same old. School, work, home. And now I have A ton of food leftover....so if you hungry, drop on by.

Happy Father's Day to you and yours :)

It's gettin' hot in here.....

...but the clothes are stayin' on people.

School seems to like to forget that there's a 5am class and they fail to turn the air on until 8am. That means right now I'm sitting in the computer room losing a few pounds. YAY!

So the weekend was pretty uneventful. I worked Friday and Saturday. Did my laundry and cleaned up a bit....then Sunday TKF, Holly, Heather, Tony and Steve came over for beer brats and daiquiris. Nothing like a frozen tasty beverage on a hot day. Mistarz was "too good" for us and used some excuse like "I'm working on my portfolio so I can get a job" Pssh...yay, right :)

I'm telling you, there's nothing goin' on in the tale o' Dawn. I'm hoping to get a few people together next weekend for Kivi's b-day, but I may just have to push it back another weekend. We'll see....We'll see.....

I'll keep ya updated I promise.

Don't look for me....

I'm not there. My allergies are working overtime and I feel like POOP!! I may end up coming in later after the meds kick in. I hate feeling like this.....

Shut up now!!

Ok ok! I'm blogging I'm blogging.

So I had some free time this weekend...THANK GOD! cause I needed it.

Saturday I laid around the WHOLE day doing nothing except play PS2. I even went and bought Kivi 'The Simms' cause I was bored and needed something to spend my gift certs from Best Buy on. Kivi on the other hand had a date....OOOOOOO....that seems to have gone in the 'right' direction. I'm so happy for that! Megan seems like a nice gal so they deserve each other.

I WAS supposed to have company later, but Tony for some reason got it in his head I was coming to Chicago. With my $6, I think not. So when he called me at midnight, I was already in my PJ's and didn't have any intention of changing. So instead I played PS2 till nearly 2am.

Sunday I got up early did my laundry, studied, and grocery shopped cause I was having company. I decided to make tacos. Kivi, Gemma, her boyfriend Jeff, Steve and Mistarz came over for the night. Somehow after we dragged Kivi off Rachet and Clank, and Steve and Jeff off Techan we decide to play Scene It....may I tell you TFK and I kick some monster ASS!!

Jeff seems to think we cheated. But we didn't we just have no lives and watch movies...A LOT. Mistarz and Steve did pull out their A game in the end and won the second round. By win I mean we just went back to start and let them play from where they were. (and we almost came back to take the second game too.)

This is where the night gets interesting....

By the way Chapter 12 do not do 266 do 269/ abbv. on page 270 in the orange book by Tuesday.

Ok back to the interesting part of the night.....

At some point within an hour Steve drinks a 2 liter of Coke, and is now VERY awake.
TFK and Mistarz decide to do a power hour. (where you take a shot a minute for an hour)
I decide to bartend (and cut it down to a power half hour due to lack of beer and how much I didn't want anyone to puke)
So for the next 30 min we watch Mistarz and Kivi do a shot a minute....until 21 anyway where the Fat Kid punks out and switches to Mike's Hard Lemonade.
NOW I've got a hyper caffeinated Steve on the PS2. A very drunk ass TFK, and a pretty heavily buzzed. This is where I decide to make some new house rules.

Rule 1: As always, if you eat or drink it you replace it.
Rule 2: I don't care how many guys are in the house this is a girls apartment toilet seat goes down when your done.
RULE 3: (and very important) NO HITTING ON MISTARZ UNLESS YOU HAVE A VAG!
and Rule 4: There is no sex in the champange room ...in my apartment this would be my bedroom.

Now why rule number 3 you ask? Well TFK can't keep his hands to himself when he's wasted and proceeded to be a little handsy with Mistarz ... A LOT!!! Since it was creeping me out, and Mistarz during Scene It became my new favorite person, the rule was set. Now if you don't get how drunk TFK was from the hitting on Mistarz...well he also proceeded to ask everyone about their sex lives also....he actually said the words... 'slip her the dick' then got excited that he actually said it and ran in another room to call PNuts and tell him..cause according to TFK...he's drunk he doesn't need tact. Ahh...the joys of being 21 again. Don't worry Megan we did ban him from calling you that night....and he's not ALWAYS like this with liquor (but really either way .. it's funny as hell) By 230am it was drag Steve away from PS2, Kivi pass out, and everyone go home time. Good times, Good times.

Monday Tony finally shows up AND buys me a grill for my balcony (YAY) and we cooked up some burger and dogs for Holly, him and I. After a few drinks, and a few more Law and Orders I was sleeping on the couch soundly. Relaxation was finally had!

Now it's back to the grind.....speaking of which.....
