The wheels on the bus go...

I havent written in a while and still dont know what to write so I will just put random bits of info in a bullet format!

- I started training for the Austin marathon and we will see what happens. I think I am too old. Im going for Boston Qtime baby-- ok well maybe just finishing without getting another injury would be a realistic goal for this year. Hopefully Laurie will be able to join me and Robert is running it too, riiiiight?

- I am starting yoga again to "strengthen my core." Arent you proud Mandy?

- I am attending the Harvey Pinnick golf academy this weekend and the Texas game. Should be fun.

- I am going to SLC and Phoenix for work next week and then house sitting for a week

- I want to be wonder woman for Halloween

- A new target just opened by house and that is trouble

- Sara just got engaged, a work friend just got engaged and a friend from high school just got married this past weekend. wooo woooo

- I got a raise at work but that doesnt change how I feel about work because Im worth even more. So ha.

- I have been in a good mood this week for no reason and I love it but am waiting for the grumpy Corey to come back soon

- I applied to be the assistant athletic director at UT for fun and on the envelope I put my Arkansas Alumni address return label. hehehe.

- I eat 2 peppermint patties a day and it makes me happy.

- It is still 90 degrees in Austin and it is not fair.

- My boyfriend spent hours on Saturday painting his new living room and realized that it was the wrong color when it dried. ha ha.

- I want a french bulldog so bad it hurts. Christmas present anyone? You can buy me a house to go with the puppy to if you want. :)

- My dad asked me over the weekend when I was going to pop out the babies because he is ready for a grandboy. I told him he has a loooong time to wait. He then said that he probably wont live long. ha ha.

I better get back to work! More bullets to come later! I miss you all and love you!

Halloween

What should I be for Halloween? Victor and I could be Lucille and Ricardo. ha. Priscilla and I might be rainbow brite and strawberry shortcake. I could be wonder woman or a girl scout. The second question is what am I even doing on Halloween? Hmmmmm

Bon Voyage Friend

Rachel I will miss you and your fantastic banter! Thanks for keeping me sane at work and best of luck to you! Im sure I will cry tonight at HH so I will spare all the ramblings on here! Dale better keep you warm up there in MN or Im gonna have to come and regulate!

It is only Tuesday and I am ready for the weekend. I love how some weeks at work are absolutely insane and then there are random days when Im bored out of my mind... today is one of them. I am still getting work done, but things are pretty quiet over here in my big cube.

So Arkansas got killed this weekend. And you people wonder why I wear neutral colors to games like that. Phew... uglyyyyyy.

I booked my work trip flights to AZ and UT in Oct. If anyone wants to come keep me company let me know. ha ha

My back feels better so I think I may force myself to take one more day off and then start running again on Thursday. Now I will be out of shape! ha ha. Awesome. Marathon training will officially begin in Oct but we will see how that goes. My body cant seem to take much anymore.

Happy late late bday to Kattie! I hope you had a great day you oldie but goodie. I left a message on your face book wall but you should have something coming soon.

Ok peace out. 36 minutes till I get head out like a baby! woooooo

Lean like a cholo

Happy Friday!

So I always have minor aches and pains because I am old and I challenged my body every day, twice a day for like 20 years! But I am pretty weak these days and decided to do a weight class yesterday. I felt a slight pain in my back when we were doing some funky lunges but the pain went away and I was fine for the rest of the day. I went to the grocery store last night (yes I am a winner) and in the span of less than an hour I went from being fine to walking to my apartment, with groceries in hand, leaned over like a hunch back. ha ha ha I couldn't stand up straight or lie down straight :) I figured that I might be ok this morning..... WRONG.

Now it hurts to bend over and I cant sit for long and I have some sort of weird lean going on. Like I stood up today and looked in the mirror and my upper body leans to the left :) Something is not right :) I know I always look awkward but now I just look like a side leaning hutch back with a corn cob up her bum :) I'm a mess. Hopefully I can get into the doc today. It is funny because my dad as a check up appointment this morning with his back dude (he got surgery 2 weeks ago) and so now they will get to see both of us today. Like father, like daughter.

BUT all I know is I am going to the Texas/Arkansas game tomorrow even if someone has to wheel me in using a wheel chair!! And dont worry everyone I am wearing neutral colors and am supporting both teams :) I am supposed to go to an Austin/Arkansas alumni party tonight but I cant go leaning like a cholo. Wish me luck!

Love you all!

Just call me Hancock

You people need to stop moving! I feel like every time I blink someone else is moving away or moving out of my department at work. PS: Dan we are now 2 more people down. I will be a veteran RC by the time this is all said and done. You started the moving trend, thank you :(

I have a hard enough time opening up to people and letting them in as my good friends and then when I finally find people that are worthy they leave and I am once again alone with the aliens of darkness aka weirdos. Just call me Hancock. ha ha Meanwhile I am just sitting still like a bump on a log watching the world go by. I had to deal with all my best friends leaving after college and I feel like I am going through that again.

I get antsy to move all the time but it takes me months, sometimes years, to actually do it. Why? And why cant I just be content and happy to stay here and make new friends and join more groups and be more active in things that I am currently doing? I know that friends come and go and that moving and traveling and all that are a part of the cycle of life but how to I know when things are truly right? Will I be bouncing around my whole life without every being 100% happy with all aspects of my life? I know I know, this is deep for a Thursday afternoon blog. Maybe I should be like the dude that fed-exed himself to his parents house. I can just start traveling in peoples suitcases, but you would have to pay an extra fee to check me :) hahahaha

Onto the random, fun stuff: Laurie is thinking about doing a marathon and so I may join her instead of doing the one here in Austin. If you want to join in on the painful fun let us know!

It is my moms bday today, so happy birthday mommie. I'm going to go old school and spend the night with my parents in Pville tonight... that should be interesting. ha ha My dad had back surgery again last week and he has been loopy on meds so that is always fun and entertaining. Last time he had back surgery I gave him the movie Dazed and Confused (because it is one of his favorites) and we watched it while he was loopy. We may have to do that again! ha ha

Work has been crazy and I need a raise :) If people keep quitting I am going to be the one man band and rule the entire US sales force. muuu hahaha

Well I guess that is it for now. I will try to write everyday but its been a little hectic lately.

Until next time,
CLS

September 9, 2008

I have been hesitant in writing the last couple of days because I feel that I have to have something of importance to write about. I also think it needs to be something interesting or eventful or sad or exciting. I feel that I should talk about things that people will be interested in. But as I am writing this I realize that the purpose of this blog was to get out my ranting and weird quirky thoughts on paper. The reason of writing was to share my scattered thoughts with people that truly care about me. So hello world you can take me or leave me! Phew I am glad I got that out. So let me talk about meaningless stuff now shall I.

Right now I should be figuring out what I want to do. I should be reading or writing or walking around. I should be looking for new opportunities. The plan tonight was to go to a coffee shop and read and look at PT programs. But I have been bitten by the TV monster. I usually have maybe one show that I will dedicate an hour to each week and I will occasionally watch tv while doing other things. But I am now officially addicted to shows that we usually leave for the teens to watch. I find myself thinking of the Hills quiet a bit and I am even trying to wear my hair and dress like Lauren. The new season of One Tree Hill as also blessed me with its presence. What is it with all the shows that have the word Hill in it? Does that secretly mean "watch me Corey and you will get over that big ass steep hill that has taken you years to get over?" Wow that was a deep for someone that started talking about teenage drama pouring out in mindless tv shows. Let me get away from the deep thoughts and just say that I heart the new 90210 and I admit it. I will not fall to the darkness of tv addiction. I will not be drawn to the pretty clothes and light hearted drama. I will prevail with my own real, good, fun life!

Ok my show is over so im out :)

Until next time....

I am old

So I apparantely made up the fact that Laurie road the bus with me and Leslie to Arkansas. I have officially lost it. Maybe I was trying to make my story more exciting? Who could that have been? Wow. I am at a loss for words. ha haha Maybe my blogging career will not last as long as I would have liked............

Sorry Laurie. ha ha
