End of a long week!

This week, I haven't been keeping up since I've been working at other places in the library in preparing for a shipment of books to NRLF. Change is good. Working at the desk all the time is Boring! and also not so healthy. I hope to be active most of this weekend, except today going to get dinner/drinks and see a movie, so active not so much today. Someone brought donuts and that is killing me. Come on people, I'm trying to lose weight! Plus, sugar makes me kinda sick, so I'm feeling it now. I can't take that much sugar, which is a good thing since I do not need to load up on it. I've been cutting down on sugar.

I'll be happy to sleep in (maybe if I can) and just do whatever I feel like doing. No real big plans set yet...waiting on Mack's status on a job. Hoping to have a vacation before he works. This year will be interesting...

Awesome '80s

I just read Mack's blog about how he loves the '80s. The '80s are awesome! I say present tense because I do not remember the '80s too well and could not appreciate them as much as an adult could. I don't know what sparked Mackenzie's blog post, but I get all happy when I see or hear anything '80s. I told Mack that awesome was born in the '80s, thus us being born :), but it's too bad we didn't get to enjoy that decade. I could go on and on about how awesome it is, but if you get it, you get it. If you don't, I don't know you.

Can't wait for the weekend!

Oh, sad news. Our awesome and totally adorable director for Sacramento Women's Chorus is leaving us to move to SF with his adorable new boyfriend. I want to cry. He is leaving in late April. :(

Something I overheard at work:

Did you know my niece had a pirate wedding? The captain who married them pronounced them with a sentence for life.

Awesome

Shame on me!

Shame on me for not writing these past two days. I was not at my desk most the time. Mackenzie was amazed and shocked I had not written.

Not much happened these past few days...ya, nothing much to say.

Weekend is coming up! No plans, except to do laundry and the usual working out and watching tv and reading. Maybe more Wii.

Spring fever-along its way...

I just now feel the very start of Spring fever coming to me. It hasn't hit me with a "pow" yet, but it will. I was sick most of the weekend and I know it was nice yesterday, so I am just realizing it's starting to be spring. I'm not convinced yet of spring being here, I think that it will be another few weeks until it really hits. When the time change comes, I will be going crazy for sure! It will be hard to contain myself. I'm like a bear. I hibernate in the winter and go crazy in the spring. Then, until about late Oct, I am very active and restless.

I have a lot of catching up to do, since I didn't even write on Thurs. But, I think I can pretty much sum that "mad and bitter" up to saying this: These past two weeks, every day there has been something depressing in the news about cutting back hours and people from libraries, either public or academic. Woodland now has less hours and people. The UCs are cutting back hours and people (my friends from the med center library are going to have a list of lay offs and they already have reduced hours of operation). No one cares about the libraries and we are the first to get cut. Libraries are important and it makes me sad and angry to see them getting cut back. I am starting to regret going into this profession. I have yet to get a real librarian job and know of others like me working as assistants or UPS or bookstores. I figured that a masters would mean something, but apparently we need experience when getting a job and that will happen when? When I get a job. I'm hoping future people will see this job as experience, but really, do you really need that much experience? Shit, I feel like I have experience dealing with a variety of personalities now, so I think that would be the hard part of a librarian job. Sure, questions can be hard, but you can always look things up or think how you would look it up. Just get to know the databases and websites and you would get to know the common questions people have. Not too bad. Ok, so ya, I was sick of hearing about libraries cutting hours and cutting people and how UC's treat the staff. That's it. Ha! That's it...it's a big thing.

Weekend:

Friday: Day at work was good, had a potluck and the afternoon was tolerable. Went home and ate and watched tv and worked out.

Sat: got up early, but was good because I re-read most the book for the book club discussion. Had a great discussion at an awesome Mexican food place in Vacaville. Went to Joann's and Kohls'. While at Kohls' I was getting really tired, I called Mack and could barely talk, so that was a bad sign. I thought I just needed caffeine. No. I was on the couch, really tired and watching tv the rest of the day.

Sunday: couch, read, tv, games, bed, movies, good steak Mack made.

Monday: went outside to pick up Chinese food. ate, couch, games, tv, bed, movies.

Ya, so I was sick, exhausted and achy. Now, much better, just in time for work, oh boy! Why do I get sick during the nice long weekends and holidays? It's lame!

I almost rode my bike today. I will be doing that in a few weeks. I had to defrost the car, so it is still too early for biking.

Mad

I'm mad and bitter. I really don't want to type right now.

Jessica - Caffeine= Scary

Monday night:

Had tons of fun with the chorus girls. Could sing the songs a little better. Went to KFC with a few friends. Totally scarfed down the root beer float. Felt sick after, almost threw up at home. Was a little crazy, don't know why.

Tuesday: Called in sick due to allergies killing me. Took tons of drugs and slept til noon. Watched tv all day. Watched The Tudors and saw lots of sex scenes. Was crazy again. After waking up, noticed that I was skinny. This is what all that walking did, which is good, but ate crappy, so need to get enough energy soon to buy some good food. Felt weak.

Wednesday: Back at work. Crazy and bitter. No caffeine as of yet. Have an awesome sandwich for lunch. I need to get out of this bitter mood. Going to clean the apt. hopefully before Mackenzie comes back. He's gonna be mad but I was sick, so if it isn't that clean, that is my excuse. I'm mostly bitter about how UCD has been operating and how people are sometimes fake. That is the worst! I'm as real as can be, so anything fake grates my nerves.

Oh, side note, I'm at pro level with sword fighting at Wii Resort. It's because I throw the sword around like a crazy person.

Holy Crap!

The title is scarily almost meant to be taken literally. Well, not the Holy part...

What the heck is it with bathrooms here? First, just plain disgusting, now, I see other things I just don't need to see.

The main women's bathroom was closed for repairs, since one of the stall was not flushing, and my co-worker got a nice look at that toilet that could not flush...So, I went to the faculty/staff male/female bathroom that you have to lock...well, that is the theory. I open the door, and I see a hairy male ass...not even seated, it was facing the other way, and he was squatting and I really don't want to think about how the heck that could be a position in the bathroom to be in...the guy said sorry, and I ran out, a co-worker saw me and asked what was wrong since I was all red. What the heck is with bathrooms here??? Is this yet another sign for me to get out of here? No, I'm being dramatic, but hey, it's fun.

In other news...

Weekend:

Friday: Day off...walked a lot in my new shape up shoes. Nice out.

Saturday: Dead tired, sore from walking. played Wii at a friend's.

Sunday: Walked more. Watched the Super Bowl at Lamppost. Who Dat? The Saints won!!!

Good weekend, but yet again, went way too quickly!

Video Games!

Yesterday, went to Target to get Mario Party and Wii Resort. I like them a lot, can't wait to play more.

Watched Lost last night. Kinda confused but can't wait for the next episode.

Hungry, so can't write that much now...

Bum Bum

Yesterday, got two presents from the mail, my Chalean fitness dvds and my Shapeup shoes. The shoes were really weird when I first put them on. They feel like they were working from the start. Feel like walking on sand. Can't wait to walk in them.

I did my Brazil Butt Lift dvd and that was a really good workout. I actually sweated a lot and was really tired. The guy likes to say bum bum. Played Wii Sports and made more Harry Potter and The Office Mii's. I think they look pretty good. Can't wait to get more games this weekend! Going to have a Wii party and Superbowl hang out at The Grad. Good weekend ahead!

I've been eating the same foods during the week for breakfast/snacks/lunch and that is helping a lot with losing weight. I think I'm going to eat either salad or oatmeal or eggs after work and avoid the crazy amount of nachos I can eat.

Very Happy

Yesterday was a good day. Went to chorus...had laughs and such. Talked in the parking lot with a few ladies and had a fun conversation about how women are crazy. One lady was talking about her girlfriends and dating and was confused at her actions. I told her I couldn't help her...I don't like games and I'm not crazy. This lady is hilarious and it was just fun hanging out.

Today, have Just A Spoonful of Sugar song stuck in my head. Could be worse. It was one we were singing last night. I should practice that one more...

Ok, I have to brag about Mackenzie. Yesterday, I got Brazil Butt Lift work out dvds in the mail and he said he likes my butt how it is. That is a keeper. I just want a fun workout, and to gain more tone. But, ya, I love my butt too :). And, I got a gift certificate for an hour massage at an awesome spa in town for Valentine's Day. I did have to prod a bit for it. I am going to get him video games :)

Today, going to do my new workouts...exciting! Been losing weight. My stomach looks better. I know I am feeling better and losing some inches, but it seems I'm still about the same weight. Grrr. It will take more than a week...I'm just being impatient.

It's Cold

Today, I got here at work, and felt cold air blowing in, more than normal. So, I got my space heater blasted. It's a battle I feel that I'm losing.

Friday: Did laundry. I was really hungry. Tired. Crazy night.

Saturday: Was supposed to do a gig, but was canceled. Played Wii, worked out, went to Safeway. Good, relaxing day.

Sunday: Above minus the Safeway. Made breakfast, watched The Rock in a kids movie. Did my trampoline workout which I hadn't done in ages. I forgot it squeaks when I jump on it, and halfway through the workout, I realized that it could sound like a long sex session. lol. I just hope the neighbors couldn't hear it. We have pretty good walls at least.

Good, relaxing weekend. Ate a lot better than usual. Did not overeat as much and did not go out for food, except Chinese Friday night, which I ate with my hands because I didn't get a fork and I was hungry. I do not kid around when I say that when I'm hungry, I am very scary and primitive. I did bite on my hand once in junior high when I was hungry. Yes, I was so hungry that my own hand looked delicious.

Bathroom Status Report: the big stall has tp that looks like it has been dunked in dirty water...brownish color.

Scary music video...have just seen the visuals...wonder how is sounds:
