Shizzolator

So I walk into class the other day, and someone has "shizzolated" our syllabus for the class - of course, its funny as hell. As a demonstation of the shizzle-speak, here's my last post shizzolated:

I dreamt last night that instead of shedding skin, we (humans) just kept adding layers, know what I'm sayin'? So I had a bandaid on my hand, 'n that shiznit just gots absorbed n' shit. ..quite disturbing, 'n I'm not sho what that shiznit means.

Check out the Shizzolator :)

Weird dream

I dreamt last night that instead of shedding skin, we (humans) just kept adding layers. So I had a bandaid on my hand, and it just got absorbed...quite disturbing, and I'm not sure what it means. :-\

Wow...change my middle name to Slacker!

So here's what has happened in the past month...

*I got a job offer from Deloitte, which is exactly what I wanted, so of course, I accepted it. So that's the good news...bad news is they won't relocate me (because it's not like I have to work in the LA office), and I start on Jan. 3 for a week of orientation, and then have national training the next week in Arizona. So I'll be married for a week, then ditch Steve for work-related stuff. But it also sounds like he'll be on travel the week after I'm gone...so vis-a-vis...

*I had 2 wedding showers which were fun...surprisingly tame though! Only 2 pieces of lingerie...poor Steve! ;) I'm so nosy though...I really like this online gift registry stuff, because I like to see what's been bought! Steve has banned me from telling me about what's been taken off the lists...he wants to be surprised when we open gifts.

*School is coming to the end...thank goodness! The past weeks have been filled with tons of group projects. So far, I've had a 10 page group paper + short presentation, 20 page paper + short presentation, another 20 page paper + long presentation. I also had my last exam of college on Monday (got a 94% on that advanced accounting exam!). I have my horsemanship riding and written finals this afternoon. Then I have a couple of other things to get turned in for one class, and a group written case final due on Monday. On top of all that, I'm still trying to complete my Honors project; the poster presentation was Monday, and now the paper will be due in pentricate (yes, 5 copies need to be made & bound) on Monday as well.

*My last day of work is Monday...what a relief! I'm going to go home on Tuesday, get some of my stuff back to CC (though it will probably remain boxed up for the duration). Steve flies in to Omaha next Wednesday, and we'll drive back to Ames Thursday. Thursday night we're going to meet up w/Mir @ a comedy club to see Dustin Diamond of Saved By The Bell fame. Then Friday is graduation, followed Saturday by Branden & Elise's wedding.

Somewhere in there I need to get cracking on finalizing all things wedding. If you haven't sent in your RSVP card yet, please get on that!

Happy Hump Day!

Drug Used to Seduce Men

I've seen this before, but it's still funny:

Drug Used to Seduce Men

Men, please read this if you go to bars or clubs:

Guys, be more alert and cautious when getting a drink offer from a girl. There is a drug called "beer" that is essentially in liquid form.

The most effective varieties are being shipped in from other countries. "Beer" is now being used by female sexual predators at parties to convince their male victims to have sex with them.

The shocking statistic is that this "beer" is available virtually anywhere! All girls have to do is buy a beer or two for almost any guy and simply ask the guy home for no-strings-attached sex. Men are literally rendered helpless against such attacks. Please! Forward this to every man you know... There is safety in numbers...

Hehe...random find

So when you look at this very blog, there's a link in the top right corner for "next blog." I click on it and I find http://pepperm00nbeauty.blogspot.com/, a blog entirely devoted to the beauty product some girl loves. Wowsa!

My life is a whirlwind!

Never in my mind could I have imagined how overwhelmed and busy I would be this semester. I've now become apathetic about anything related to the wedding, because I don't have time to figure it all out. And then trying to coordinate my schedule to do wedding stuff the week of Thanksgiving? Forget it...I don't care, I'm ready to elope!

Halloween weekend Steve came in to town...I picked him up Thurs night in DSM, and then we met up w/Gabe, Joelle, Wild Shea, Branden, and Elise @ Stomping Grounds. I was feeling happy after one glass of some type of ale - definitely more alcoholic than your average can of Coors Light!

We went to the Big O Friday...and no one except Steve's dad knew Steve was coming into town. His lil sisters were relatively unphased by his sudden appearance...but we got his mom good! Karissa runs out when she gets home from work with his birthday cards that should have been mailed (but Jeff took out of the mailbox)...so Liz gets really upset, walks in the house, and finds her baby boy sitting on the couch. She flipped out!

Saturday was spent playing Donkey Konga and getting wedding invites wax sealed...Steve gave himself 2 blisters after he dripped firey wax on his hand (they still look nasty over a week later BTW).

Saturday night Tinkerbelle & Peter Pan made an appearance @ Abbie & Sarah's (friends of mine from CC) Halloween kegger. We definitely got points for creativity, though if I had more time, the costumes would have been much more spectacular.

Sunday was church, then I ran away for my final wedding dress fitting. Everything is kosher, and they showed my mom how to bustle up my train. Very pretty! ;)

Monday I had to work and go to class, but the rest of the afternoon was spent cuddled up on the futon w/Steve. Apparently my car died in the morning as he was making his way to the post office to mail invites... Thus, not trusting the car, Gabe & Joelle gave Steve a ride down to the airport...Wilson is more reliable, since he's a baby.

We ate @ IHOP in Ankeny on our way back and the waiter kept calling me sweetie...very disturbing.

Tuesday & Wednesday were busy w/school stuff...

Then I got to leave Thursday to fly out to LA for an interview w/Deloitte & Touche. The office visit was fun, and I should know soon if I have a job. Crossing my fingers, wishin' and hopin' and prayin'...for a job!

I was able to stay in LA w/Steve for the weekend...we went out on Friday night w/one of his co-workers Will and Will's soon-to-be-fiancee Karla. Both are very fun and sweet, with the element of nerdiness that I love! We went to see the Incredibles, didn't get there soon enough and were forced to sit in the third row. Very uncomfortable through the movie, straining to look up at the screen...while trying to not fall asleep after such a long day and CPK-induced food coma.

Saturday...we spent all morning playing Donkey Konga (yes, I love this video game!), and finally got motivated enough to head to the mall. We grabbed some ColdStone before heading to Steve's soccer game...the little punks are funny, and are actually pretty good @ soccer. Now if Coach Steve could keep them motivated enough to play the whole game, he would be successful! ;) There's one kid on his team who I think Karissa should date...yep, honey, go ahead & dump Josh for this golden blonde California soccer player! He's super cute, and seems really sweet...

My flight back was fairly boring, except for the annoying fashionistas from New York or somewhere that kept freaking out about only have 45 minutes to connect to their next flight. I kept thinking that maybe if they had worn comfortable and practical clothes, it would make the brisk walk through the terminal more efficient...maybe even allow for a stop in the bathroom before boarding their new plane. But what do I know? I'm just a classic, conservative dresser from the Midwest who was appalled by the gold sequin purse and army pants of the one female.

So far today, I've sent out several thank you emails to the people @ Deloitte, and went to my first class of the day. I've researched a little bit for my diversity mgmt class, so that I have something prepared for our group meeting tomorrow. And now I need to run to the MU for some food...I'm super hungry from yesterday still (the turkey sandwich on the plane wasn't impressive - I ate my brownie instead).

Wow, welcome back to reality/craziness!

Happy Monday!

Wow...

Wow...I haven't posted in a while, because I've been that busy! (Ugh, grrr, all that stuff) But I shall post more this weekend (maybe?) if I get a chance @ Steve's parents house. And speaking of the boy, I have an interview with Deloitte & Touche on November 5...in LA! So I'm trying to swing it so that I can stay out there on Saturday to have a fun day, then fly back to Ioway on Sunday.

To conclude, I've also learned that:

You Are a Plain Ole Cup of Joe But don't think plain - instead think, uncomplicated You're a low maintenance kind of girl... who can hang with the guys Down to earth, easy going, and fun! Yup, that's you: the friend everyone invites. And you're dependable too. Both for a laugh and a sympathetic ear. What Kind Of Coffee Are You? Take This Quiz :-)

And I really can't handle when people use "your" instead of "you're"...so I had to edit the above HTML code for proper grammar :-p

Other fun news...I got an email from an ISU alum who is a partner w/Deloitte's LA office...he indicated they want to interview me! :-D So happy! And I might get a free trip to see Steve out of the deal!

Lucy in the Sky

You are Lucy!


Which Peanuts Character are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

I guess I always have wanted to know what Peanuts character I would be...I was thinking Marcie, but I do get crabby, so Lucy does fit better!

Last weekend update: stuffed about 110 wedding invites, still working on a few more (ran out of maps/guest info inserts). It's going to cost $0.60 to mail each invite...but they do have pretty $0.60 stamps to put on them. Steve's comment about that: "That means that most wedding invitations cost $0.60 to mail - why else would they have pretty stamps in that amount??" They will be done for sure the weekend of the 29th...signed, sealed, delivered...

Random Tidbits

Obviously, I'm bored at work, so I'm blogging. I did flip out of my chair today @ work though...I was pushed away from the desk in this big heavy office wheelie chair, and went to grab a phone call. I was sitting on the edge, and the sudden movement caused the chair to tip forward, and dumped myself out of it. All I could do was laugh, even though the heavy chair did hit my arm and that kinda hurt. I'm a klutz, but never enough to warrant doctors/hospitalization. So go ahead & laugh, I can take it! ;)

You know what I really hate?? The people at Subway who don't listen to you when you say you only want a leeetttle bit of mayo on your sandwich and instead smother it like normal.

I bought new makeup and a flat iron this weekend. The makeup is awesome, and Clinique has a pretty good bonus @ Younkers right now...go check it out! And straight hair looks good on me too! ;) I love my hair, it behaves so well when I put forth the effort!

We watched a video about international monetary policy in one of my classes today. They showed a clip of Herbert Stein...yes, Ben Stein's dad. All I have to say is "like father, like son." Ben was definitely molded in his father's image! ;)

Alrighty, time to work...

Happy Tuesday!
