Eh...

So nothing really exciting to update in my life. This week has gone by quickly (thankfully) despite long days. Last night I went with the rents to watch the Sinclair vs. Edison volleyball game at Sinclair. I am so glad we do not take family vacations anymore. Trying to get there was a huge pain in the ass especially since my dad was driving my mom's car. Luckily we all got there in one piece after much yelling and screaming. I ran into AJ on the way to the gym which was totally random but very cool since we haven't hung out in a while. He sat with me at the game till he had to go to class so we were able to catch each other up on the happenings in our lives. Unfortunately, Sinclair lost but Sarah (#6) played really well and I was happy I got to see her play. Last night's game also confirmed my decision to not ref this coming season. The parents there were totally assholes to the refs; which I knew and have worked with before. Parents should really learn the rules of the game before they start giving the refs shit.

I am looking forward to sleeping a lot this weekend. I haven't been sleeping very well lately. I'm having a hard time falling asleep and then I keep having bizarre random nightmares that wake me up. And when I wake up I'm always burning up even though my room is usually pretty cold at night. I'm not really sure what's going on with this.

I am currently obsessed with the song "Hoppipolla" by Sigur Ros

BG yet again

I went up to BG this past weekend again. I just can't get enough of it...even though it's a bit weird visiting having graduated and all. But needless to say it was a great weekend. On Friday Jared and I went to Carrabba's for dinner and it was delicious. Then headed to a party to meet up with some friends. I played a pretty good game of flip cup until the table collapsed so it was off to the bars. I ran into alot of people I knew and that I hadn't seen a while so that was cool. On Saturday and I was a bum during the day and then went to El Zarappes with Jared and Chris for dinner. We headed to Misha's party which ended up being a good time. Jody surprised me by showing up which was awesome! Then it was off to Downtown and met up with Bridget and some of her friends. We ended the night at Nate and Wally's which is starting to charge cover and that is just stupid. As a side note; I think that Chris is the funniest man I know and he was definitely bringing sexy back this weekend! I was up early on Sunday because I had to drive to Dayton to meet my family and grandparents for an early dinner to celebrate my Grandpa's 83rd birthday. Here's a pic of BJ, my sister and her little belly, and my Grandparents:

Here's one of the fam plus my neice or nephew:


I have an interview at World Market tomorrow in Columbus. It kinda makes me laugh...and I'm sure when they tell me how much the pay is I will definitely laugh. But you never know...

Bringin sexy back...

Weekend Recap

I had a pretty good weekend despite the fact that I was sick (and still recovering from a sinus infection). I didn't go into work on Friday because I felt like complete crap and had no desire to get out of bed. So I basically slept and popped Tylenol Sinus/Allergy medicine all day. My Dad and I watched X-Men 1.5 and gorged ourselves on Chocolate Chip cookies. Saturday I was up early to run off the calories from the cookies and then headed to the wonderful city of Columbus to meet my friend Mark. The purpose of my journey was to apartment hunt/job hunt/get out of Piqua for the day. Mark took me to a couple places around Polaris Mall all of which were really nice and affordable. We ate at Martinis and it was a-mazing! Thanks Mark for lunch! I put in an application at the World Market that was in the shopping complex since they were hiring. Who knows... Then Mark took me around some of the subdivisions of the rich people and their humungous homes. Next we headed to Zak's to hang out and enjoy his big screen plasma tv and HDTV. I also was in Columbus that day to see The Early November at the Newport but as Mark and I drove by heading to the show we found out it was cancelled. I was totally bummed out! So we just headed back to Zak's and then went to a local bar to meet some other people. I had a great time hanging out with Mark and just being in Columbus.

On Sunday I woke up late (10am) and ran and then just laid around and read. I eventually was productive by going in town to run some errands and then had to drop my car off to get repainted in some spots that were being taken over by rust. I had rented X-Men 2 so Dad and I watched that. It was pretty good. The 3rd one comes out October 3rd on DVD so that's exciting.

Monday was decent. Work sucked as usual. Came home and ran and Jenny was joining us for dinner that night. She had another doctor's appointment to have a second ultrasound. Still to early to determine the sex. Though she had lots of ultrasound pictures to show us. There were 2 really good ones where you can see a tiny hand, like the baby is waving. Another one shows the spine and another shows the skull including the eye sockets and upper mouth. They are really cool but also kinda creepy because the baby looks like an alien right now. If you go to my sister's blog: http://jenkohlhanley.blogspot.com/ she has some of the ultrasound pictures posted. I can't wait for more pics of my niece/nephew!!

Today I took a half day at work so I could go to Dayton to a job fair at the Nutter Center. I really didn't want to go but I decided to make the rents happy and went. It was pretty pointless. There was a total of 5 booths that were set up for the Diversity/Professional area. And I only talked to 1 booth because the others were for positions I have no interest or I don't have the qualifications. So I talked to the people at SAIC: From Science to Solutions because it had "science" in the name. Turns out they have an Environmental division. I gave them a copy of my resume and they said to go online to post it as well. I did some searching and there was actually some jobs I'm going to apply for because they were entry level.

Well I hope everybody is having a great week!

Unfalconbelieveable!

Ok so my weekend in BG was great as it usually is when I visit my alma mater. I stayed at Bridget's sweet ass apartment above Beckett's on Main St.

On Friday evening Bridget, Steve (one of Bridget's roommates), Kelly, and I went to dinner at the Italian restaurant on Main where Bridget and Kelly work. It was delicious of course. Then I met up with Krystle, Chris, and Jared at the Black Swamp Festival to watch Reverend Horton Heat. They were pretty good but their songs were a bit repetitive. So we decided to head to Downtown for some beverages. Good times were had by all...

On Saturday Jared, Steve, and I walked around the festival where I wanted everything I saw. We enjoyed a funnel cake. Then we just hung out and watched some football. Jared and I went back to his place where Chris made us some amazing dinner. That night Chris, Ben, Jared, and I went to some bars and it was seriously so much fun. The three of them constantly crack me up. I almost thought there was going to be fight between Ben and this douche bag at Brathaus. Ben was making fun of him (but not to his face and rightly so) and the kid saw and yelled "Fuck you!" at our direction. We just proceeded to laugh. We ventured to Nate and Wally's to meet Bridget. And again there were good times had by all...

On Sunday Amanda (my dopple) came down to BG and had lunch with Bridget and I at Panera. I walked around the festival with them and ending up getting this really cool necklace that was kinda pricey. Then went back to Jared's to pick up my car since I had parked it there all weekend due to lack of parking near Bridget's because of the festival. So for those of you who I haven't talked to already or haven't been stalking me on Facebook my relationship status has changed. I'm really happy that Jared and I decided to be together...and I'm excited/anxious to see what happens...and even though it's going to be hard being in two different locations the fact that we are really good friends first of all I'm hoping will make things easier.

Alright well this is entirely to long...I'll have to start updating on a more regular basis...

Sorry everybody for not updating this on a more regular basis...

On September 3rd I went to a wedding in Cincinnati with my friend AJ. My friends Dave and Sarah were getting married. It was a beautiful ceremony and reception. The wedding was at Moonlight Gardens which is part of Coney Island so it was an outdoor wedding. The weather was perfect, the food was delicious, the music was great, and AJ and I has a fabulous time!

No news on the job front...still looking for any job any where...I'm getting desperate...

I went to BG this past weekend to visit friends and go to the Black Swamp Festival. But my computer battery is about to die and I don't feel like plugging it in so I'll try to post tomorrow about my awesome weekend.
