ok, so three weeks later...
lemme just say... spyware is of the devil. it put my computer out of commision. anyone who was talking to me in those final days of attempting to ignore the obvious hostile takeover surely foresaw the unfortunate outcome... you had plenty of time to mull it over anyway, in the half an hour it took me to complete one sentence on aim.

but it's semi better now.
but back three weeks ago (before someone correct me, i know i'm exaggerating and i know i spelled that wrong, so don't bother)
anyway, back three weeks ago, i was talkin bout some every cloudy crap in reference to my future. i said that because i had just found out that josh might go to iupui (indiana university purdue university of indianapolis) instead of purdue in w. lafayette. and we were less than a day away from choosing an apartement in w. lafayette. we had it narrowed down to three, and then one came out with the huge sale where rent was lowered from $589 to $399. and it had wireless internet, it was only half a mile from campus, it had tons of recreational activities.. indoor pool... but that deal ended the day after we found out we might not even be in that town. so we didn't sign a lease.
it seems to always happen like that. just when i start planning my life and start to think i actually might have a grasp on my future, God's like, Hehe, just kiddin ya'll. don't know why i decided God would have a hick accent. but hey, if He created hicks (which we have to admit He did, despite attempts at denile), then the hick characteristic must reside within the hick Creator, right? and that was religious hick philosophy 101. one might then argue that evil exists, therefore God created evil, therefore God is evil... but who's to say God created evil, and who's to say evil isn't simply the lack of good? WHOA offtrack.
but at least i can say i actually grasped something from my 4 years of christian liberal arts education.
what was i talking about anyway...ahh yes... do not be anxious about anything but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your heats and your minds in Christ Jesus. trust in the Lord with all yourh eart and lean not on your own understanding. in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. well, if every i needed the peace of God or the straightening of my paths, it would be now i guess. first one to tell me what two verses i quoted gets a free oreo. double stuffed.
so i need to apply for a job. i real job. with a real resume. and a real cover letter. i don't wanna. you know that feeling you get when you have a paper due in a month, and you know you should start it now but whenever you sit down at the computer, you stare at the monitor and the keys and your mind goes absolutely blank? well, that's what happens whenever i think of writing a cover letter. i can't brag on myself. and that's all a cover letter is. but then, a cover letter should also give the bossman an impression of who you really are as a person. so what if i'm not the braggin type of person? so the one part cancels out the other and i'm left with a blank monitor save the "to whom it may concern" at the top.
so! who wants to write a cover letter for me? anyone? anyone at all.
come on
i'll give you an oreo
double stuffed.
oh! funny story. i tried to spend my $2 bill. (i'm afraid only taylor grads will know the significance of this, if you bug me enough i might explain later). so anyway, i tried to spend my $2 bill. and it wasn't really of any dire importance, or even any importance at all. i was just really cravin an auntie anne's pretzel. and they're just over $2 and i had no other cash. they didn't take credit cards or checks. so i quickly weighed the decision in my head: give back to the alma mater which already took so much from me, i mean gave.. so much.. to me.. what the crap, i mean what i said. OR enjoy the salty buttery warm chewy wonder of an auntie anne's pretzel. hehe, so i decided on the pretzel. i carefully tore the yellow paper backing off and placed the bill on the counter. the girl (i'm guessing 16 yrs old?) realized what it was and looked quickly back and forth from the bill to me with extremely large eyes. i felt the heat rise to my face as i reached for the bill muttering something to the effect of 'oh, you don't take these either...' i started to turn away, when she said, 'no, that's not it, i .. i just.. you don't really want to spend that, do you?!' it took me a moment to realize what she meant. 'yeah, well, not, i ... i really want a pretzel!' again her glance went from me to the bill i had half-reached for. my hand loomed large in midair.. indecisive. 'oh, don't spend that! just take the pretzel, i won't charge you.' whoa, could it be? that $2 bill has indeed come in handy already! better than any scholarship i (n)ever received, i now was the proud owner of a free auntie anne's pretzel. i'm definately going back to that pretzel shop again. and i'm bringing my lucky $2 bill with me. even if they do take it.. i have at least 10 more at home just like it. i'm pullin this scam all over the country.
well, that's certainly enough for one night.
i'll have to write about my adventures in indy tomorrow. let's just keep you hanging with these carefully chosen suspenseful phrases:
1.) the road with five names
2.) passed out drunk
3.) non-existant I-65 N tomfoolery
enjoy!

conglomeration
so here's my update:
while i was home in illinois, i spent way too much time shopping and bought no clothes at all. messed up, huh? hehe. we bought a car! we searched monday through friday and purchased a white 98 ford taurus se on saturday. it has everything i've ever dreamed of - four doors and a scan button (josh's car has two doors and neither a seek nor scan button - VERY annoying). it's in really good condition. we now have two cars, but i don't know for how long. the probe's alternator's acting up. we thought the ratiator AND the alternator were busted, and that's why we were searching for a new car. half-way through the week, we found that the problem was most likely the radiator hose which was leaking onto the alternator. $70 and 30 miles later, when the battery died, we realized there was probably more to the story. looks like the alternator needs new brushes. look at me, all car-smart. i never would have known before this vacation that alternators need brushes. apparently those are cheap to fix, and the car place would have only given us $500 for the probe, so we are now a 2 car family. the only problem is both those cars are fords...
on saturday, the day we bought the taurus (help me think of a cool name for it, 'taurus' isn't workin), my cousin jason got married! we actually had to go to the car place all dressed up for the wedding so we could make it on time (we were soooo almost late). it was my first catholic wedding. it wasn't as long as i thought (and was told) it would be. and it was really good, i'm assuming. i couldn't see well from our seats in the rear corner and i couldn't hear with all the echoing with the tall ceilings and everything. there were a ton of times when everyone else knew what to do or say, and i was left completely in the dark, being the protestant that i am, but oh well! gloria looked beautiful, as every bride always does. the reception was a blast, i got to meet family that i've actually never ever met before and hang out with family that i haven't seen in a long time. my cousin alison was all excited cuz i was finally 21 and not under a legally binding contract that controlled my beverage consumption habits. so she bought me a drink i can't even pronounce. it had lemonade in it - i can pronounce that much. i didn't realize i was supposed to stir it and took a sip off the top and WHOA was that stuff strong. i then proceeded to stir it and the taste improved significantly. it gave me a funny warm feeling in my belly :-D. but i didn't even get to finish it completely before josh was dragging me out the door. it was our last night in town and he wanted to see some more of his friends. so no, i did not get drunk. i didn't win the 50-50 either.
what else did i say i would talk about? oh. my 5k aspirations. and my 'ever cloudy'... something, oh yeah, future. i'll talk about the 5k. josh's sisters are running in a 5k on the 20th and they want me to run too. yeah, the last time i ran that distance, i was trying to get in shape for my wedding. so, i ran with them at the track to see what i could do, and yeah, definately pooped out after a mile and a half. that's only half of the 5k which is only 10 days away. so if there's anyone in town that wants to train with me, i mean seriously train with me... get in touch, otherwise i think this ain't happenin.
well, i'm fixin to be late to work, so i'll write about 'ever cloudy' crap tomorrow.
bye!

sheesh!
i guess i now know exactly how pathetic and bored... er.. i mean... caring and interested-in-my-life... my friends are. thanks for all those reminders that i hadn't updated my blog in two weeks. here are the reasons:
1) i went home to josh's house for a week and a half. the internet there is scarce and slow.
scarce=his dad's always on it
slow=dial-up
2) i had to sign a paper at work saying i would only use the internet for news-related and educational purposes. i tried to convince my boss that a blog is both (educating the public on the recent news of my life), but that didn't go over so well. and since i'm at work 40 hrs a week, that's a huge chunk of my free time.
3) i have to do full-time wifely duties. yeah, remember that blog lamenting the losses of college life? remember the part about missing (seemingly) free and pre-made meals? well, i'm livin it now folks. i have to go shopping for food and then cook the food. and then clean the dishes. all while simultaneously doing continuous loads of laundry.
anyways, that's my excuse. but tomorrow, i don't have to work til 3 (which means i don't cook!)so i'll be online most of the day i'm guessing. and i hereby solemnly vow to spend that precious free time educating you on the recent news of my life: my vacation, my new car, my aspirations of running the 5k, the new guy at work, my ever-cloudy understanding of exactly where i'll be two months from now... that should be enough to keep you on the edge of your sadly over-used and dilapitated computer chairs.
good night
