World Beer Festival

I had a blast! Till saturday, I had no idea, about how much beer I could actually consume and still stumble home through the mud, w/out getting any mud above my ankle. Thats some special walking I tell you!

I also got a Terrapin Temporary tattoo, tried Skoal chew (1st time) and got asked to flash for beads, I did not comply with the request.

Beverage Highlights:

Cherry Lambic
Blueberry Beer
Creme Brule Java Stout, from Knudenhauser
Milk Stout, from Duck Rabbit
More to come after I look through my booklet

Food Highlights

Sitar India Tikka Masala
Blue something cafe Fish Tacos
Rudinos Pizza
…And yes, I ate 1/2 of everything

General Highlights:

Trying Skoal green apple chew, realizing it not to be one of my more brilliant ideas, infact probably something i ‘m not going to live down for a while! Look on Man meat’s face when he found out chew was for me: Priceless. Hee hee

Walking around barefoot in the mud with J. Ridiculous fun!

J: Tell me you did not sit on a porta potty
GG: Of course not, I didn’t even want to go it
J: I can still love you
GG: Yaaaaaaaaay!!!

A new frontier has been crossed/reached (?) whatever it is that you do at a frontier has been done to the more intimate details of our relationship.

Summary

Life Plods on! I have had a ton of things I’ve wanted to post lately, but they are going to have to be broken into smaller posts, otherwise, it will be one ginormous post!

Overall, life is good, J scheduled his surgery for the 30th or 28th of next month, so thats one thing planned. The end of the year, stress persists, as in, what am i going to do about school/work/job, but its a good kind of stress, I feel proactive, simply by doing paperwork.

Props to my friend JJ‘s super awesome blog!

Recoiling Registrars.

So, they called from the college yesterday to tell me that I can be eligible for Financial Aid in the spring!!!! Yaaaay!!!! Except for the fact that I need to get my transcripts and that is taking up more time and energy than required.

J is a little nervous about impending changes, and there will be quite a few! Infact, I am pretty nervous myself.Everything seems up in the air and seems poised to change: job, house, life, etc…..Hopefully it will be for the better.

Other than that, life is going well, J and I are chill, he is going to schedule his surgery in November, but once again, like every other detail in our life, its up in the air.

I have noticed my brushing,no rinsing habits are influenced by my boyfriends. Weird! What is my style? Runaway Bride style question of the day. hmmmmm.

Exercise, Life

I love my blog, Yes i do, I love my blog, Yaaaay

I am in a good mood today! Why you ask? Well it could be that I might get thai, or sushi? for lunch!

Because I got to spend last night at home all by myself (with laylz) and watch tv and I went to the gym. Go me , go me.

Its funny, after a year of living together, I am genuinely happy for J to leave the apt, so I can do nothing, all by myself. I also do nothing, when he is around, or in another room, but there’s something luxurious about doing nothing all by yourself. Like a mini vacation. I swear mini vacations have been the theme of 90% of my blog entries.

I look skinnier, a tiny little bit, but its something. Especially since the yahoo BMI calculator informed me that I’m dangerously close to being….dun…dun…dun…overweight.AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Must redouble efforts. Kudos to self on working out. A for effort on eating better, well maybe only B.

J finishes his project today. Bring on the partying, hopefully. Am also starting to PMS, must remember to not mix crazy amounts of alcohol with crazy whacked out hormones.

Life

Yawn!!!

Tired!

Sometimes my coworkers drive up the wall simply by existing. Watched a lot of TV yesterday, which brings me to…..

Haters want to hate
Lovers want to love
But I don’t want
none of the above

– Dave Chappelle as R.Kelly

Oh Dave, I miss, stop being nervous and broken down and come back to TV already. Comedy Central and your fans miss you.

Realization brought on by watching clips of Adam Corrolla’s new show on CC. Yeeeeeeech!!!!

Although, I’m digging Showbiz news with David Spade. I heart short, bitchy ex SNL cast members. I am looking at you too Kattan.

I heart grouches and blogs

Don’t have a lot to write about at present. Feeling generally lethargic, reasons unknown.

J is being a major grouch, I guess having serious financial issues, project due at the end of the week, and a bad leg would probably bring out the bitch in me as well…but still, he really is being a pain in the ass. I have kinda played along and been aloof as well, but will try to be nice.

I think I might plan a little picnic getaway to celebrate his presentation, and maybe that will cheer him up.

Deciding if I should start a recipe blog, but I have issues, with not being able to sort things on blogger, must look into typepad, or word pad or xanga or the other ones. I heart blogs.

Have lost 5lbs. So I celebrated this weekend by gorging on chips and dip. Way to go me.

Midweek Recap

So I have decided, its time to seriously start exploring options for going back to school! I am a little scared, I won’t get enough financial aid, but we’ll see how everything goes. I’m just mentioning this now, and I’m sure I’ll post more about it as plans/ideas get more solidified.

The week hasn’t been terrible. Tuesday I went to dinner w/ J’s coworkers and work friend. THe restaurant was horribly over priced, and the food was really only average, but the people were nice, and over all a decent time was had by all. J and I did get into a minor squabble about when to leave, but nothing major. I am still a little insecure about 2 chicks from his work, but I’m trying to move on ,and get over my insecurites and not put any more ideas in his head (bad me, especially last night). But in all reality nothing too major. I hope, I refuse to fuel my insecurities by obsessing about them here. Writing something down is almost making it permanent, and honestly thats the last thing i need.

In other news, I don’t know how feasible India is going to be for both J and me, since his knee has to be operated upon and will cost quite a bit, even after insurance. Everything is so frustrating………grrrrrr…..I asked J, when does it all end and he said, ” when we die” and of course this led to a very depressing conversation in bed. GAWD, I have a knack for these things.

Hung out with NG last night, and it was really fun, now that I feel that boundaries have been established and she is not everywhere I look. We watched ANTM, and I must say, I have high hopes for this season! I do miss Miss Janice Dickinson horribly, and ANTM will never be the same without her. The contestants this season already seem very drama prone and that can only lead to some awesome hall of fame moments. I think for Cycle 5, instead of doing my re caps and lists, I’ll just post a few best moments and best lines.

The Fall of discontent

I am failing miserably at sticking to the following goals

1) prospecting more
2) Eating less
3) Keeping the house in better shape

grrrrrrrrr………

Had a generally pleasant weekend. Went and saw Yo Mama’s big fat booty band at the Pourhouse, it was strictly okay. Got hit on by Mulletman, but my knight in shining armor, Y, came to the rescue and gave him a major dressing down.
We went to IHOP later and met up with a coworker and then I passed out on the way home.

Experimented on saturday. Was not to liking.

Sunday was spent relaxing, cleaning, eating a big dinner and watching cartoons

I am feeling very discontent, therefore , I don’t want to write anything, I just wish things would fall into place. God, I just need a break!

Friends, Life

Hold Em

Played poker last night! It was pretty fun, I think I’ll definitely repeat the experience. No big news other than J tore his ACL. Won’t know till tuesday what the deal is in terms or recovery, surgery, rehab, etc.

So depending on whether he needs surgery or not, plans for the rest of the year are up in the air!
