Hungry and Tired

2011-04-05T14:43:00.000-07:00

I am a bit tired. Not sure why. I am waking up later and going to bed at a reasonable hour. It's probably all the late nights from my younger days. Ha!

Sending a package to Africa today.

Starting my spring cleaning. I might cancel that tho. Its up in the air. Hoping to be out of this house sooooooooooooooooooooooooooon. Like yesterday.

I have to lose a dress size before Tors wedding. Which would be in a little over 3 weeks. Wish me luuuuck.

Ok, back to important things. Like, facebook.

I leave you with this: (probably at the top of this post)

I love my Sims

2011-03-28T13:18:00.000-07:00

I am currently in a video game mood. Really interested in playing video games tonight. Boo ya. My plan is to start a new family and keep playing until I basically own the town of Sims. I'm assuming that was their ultimate goal as some the trophies are incredibly hard. So, that I will do. Unfortunately I am not a big fan of multiple Sims under my control, but I am eager to trophy up! Plan A: Create a mother and father with two different jobs and have them work their way up. Plan B: Have a child that can stay home and do other things.

This is my plan for the week. Wish me luck.

Laundry

2011-03-11T11:32:00.000-08:00

So, as it turns out, it is actually incredibly hard to do laundry when the units do not have knobs. The lovely tenants from upstairs took all the knobs, but forgot their cats. I mean, note to self, when leaving a unit with appliances, always take the knobs. Booya.

I need a haircut really bad. My face and my haircut are not getting along.

Let's start this party

2011-02-28T12:39:00.000-08:00

Jons party is on Friday and I am Faarreaking out! I always get really stressed about this kind of stuff. There are many hands involved in this party and I just hope everything goes well. I just need this week to end and the partay to begin!!!!

Work is going ok. I think I am doing better this week. Last week was a dooozy, but I survived and learned about the mistakes I am making.

Oh, and I forgot how old I was today. 26. Not 27. Thank Goodness!

'Nuff for now

Peace

Re-resolutions

2011-02-14T08:43:00.000-08:00

Ok, all the resolutions I had set have pretty much been broken. Going to work on my re-resolutions. It has always interested me that people are obsessed with changing themselves on New Years. Why not just start on a random Wed? Reinvention is an amazing thing. One of the best things I did was move to a different city. Moving didnt stop any of my problems, but they certainly helped put things into perspective. I have been in Indiana for 5 years. I have gained a college degree, am now engaged and have created a life I feel I was meant for. OMG. I am engaged. Really?!? I can hardly believe it. I wanted it and now that its here I just cannot believe it. Victoria (my goofy sister) is getting married in April, so we will be focusing on her instead. :)

Big step...Jon and I discussed the possibility of sharing a bank account now that we are engaged. It is really scary to think we are actually becoming a little family. Ack! Update on this later will be pertinent.

Ok, here at work on a Monday, wanting to be asleep as I got little sleep this weekend.

Good day

LLLadies and Gentlemen

2011-02-13T17:29:00.000-08:00

I am Engaged.

It happened 02-12-11 in French Lick, Indiana.

I was very surprised and it was incredibly sweet.

Old Posts

2011-01-31T14:08:00.000-08:00

1. That baby picture of Emma almost killed me.

2. I used to be a lot funnier. Need to work on that.

3. All the motivation from past blogs has got me a little motivated. We shall see.

4. Flos in town.

Long time

2011-01-31T13:29:00.000-08:00

It has been a long time since I have been on here. The main reason for my blogging is for my good friend Audrey that is on her second leg in Africa. Hello Audrey! :)

A lot of stressful events have been occuring and I am going to use this as my stress reliever so I can leave Jon alone.

Living below people is always difficult, but right now it is especially difficult because those people happen to be my boyfriend (Jons) tenants. They are they most inconsiderate people I have ever met. Constant yelling, partying etc. They cannot afford to pay thier rent but yet, they are seemingly always high. My frustration is not the people itself (well, maybe a little) but the fact that those people still remain although they cannot pay a dime. Actually, thier electricity has now been shut off for a week and the hilarity of this is that they bought camping supplies to survive. When their electricity is shut off, so is our laundry room. So, Sunday we had to spend hours at a laundrymat. These people will always be refered to as the stripper, beater boyfriend, Bob and brother...to protect thier actual identities.

My car is dead. The first car I ever purchased is dead and I am sad. :( I ended up getting good money out of the car, but I am dissapointed because the car represented my true independence. The first large purchas I made, on my own, without the help of my parents. Photo of my car above. Its not the prettiest, but I loved it.

A good friend is getting married, to a person she has known maybe 6 months. Now, I am in no hurry to wed, but I can say that I feel a little entitle to be married before her. I know I know. I def do not believe in entitlements, but I have to say, I wanted this before she did. I am happy for her and I only wish the best, but I think this has brought out a lot of jealousy. Not just on my part either. I believe my friends are feeling the same way. Her wedding is this weekend and I still do not have an invitation. Annoying. Beginning to think I'm not invited.

Getting a job is a great thing. I am incredibly proud of myself. Now that I have had a good job for about a month and a half, I am realizing how more money can be a bad thing. I was previously quite frugal, now I am crazy with my money and only seeing the negative effects. It is def time to sit down and figure things out.

Speaking of my job. I love it. I really do. The people, the job, everything is so amazing. I am feeling a little sick today, but I am still happy about my job.

I need to remember the good things going on in my life. I think this winter has put me into a serious funk and its been incredibly dissapointing. I am looking forward to longer days, sunshine and a summer beer!

More to come!

Updater Tater

2010-02-26T12:57:00.000-08:00

Ok. Today, I am going to force Jon to be romantic. He is the least romantic person in the entire world, that I know of. For Valentines Day I got a half-assed 'Happy Valentines Day' while he was doing the dishes. Granted, we were in New Orleans but the other couple we were with managed to figure something out. Hmmm...

I found out today that my sister is getting married. No, she is not engaged. Her and her bf are just going to get married in August. I know, I think its wierd to. She got mad at me and hung up because I wasnt excited enough about it. I tried to call her back but she ignored me.

I am trying sooo hard to lose the extra pounds. I just want to drop 10 pounds. Just to tighten up these rolls that might start appearing.

Angry People

2009-08-05T07:31:00.001-07:00

I just dont get people that are bitter and mean to other people. Why do they have to snap and freak out about little stuff? Oh geez...at least I know I am a happy person. I am starting to just smile because I have realized I am moving up in the world and she is stuck in an hourly wage job. That is probably why she is mean to me.

New Week

2009-08-03T07:07:00.001-07:00

So it is a new week and here are my goals: (This is my new thing...blogging and writing out my goals.

1) 2+ chapters in book completed.
2) Biking or Walking everyday.
3) Being healthy overall.
4) Budget!!!!
5) Organize office.
6) Get stuff in basement to the thrift store.
7) Send package to Africa.
8) Healthy Healthy Healthy!!!

I shall see how we do!

2009-07-29T10:12:00.001-07:00

Okay...so it has been awhile.

Here is whats new in my life:

I seem to be going from friend to friend. The longest lasting friendships I have had are from high school. I get very jealous of Jon and his friends because they are not caddy like girls are. I admit wholeheartedly that I am caddy. My caddy-ness in addition to other girls' caddy-ness only make up for friendships ending horribly. I am making a huge effort to end the caddy-ness...especially considering the outburst I had during the most recent 4th of July party where I lashed out at another caddy girl.

Caddy-ness is not only found amongst friends but co-workers as well. Going deeper into this issue would only lead to regret later but anyone reading this blog would understand. Some people are just so unhappy they feel the need to share some of thier unhappiness. The only thing I have to say is the rude comments, constant complaining and talking behind my back only makes me smile bc for some reason you are paying more attention to me than my work. hmm...jealousy?

Living with Jon has been excellent. We have small problems, like; laundry and dishes but for the most part we get along great. We have starting a fun schedule (that really isnt fun...more routine than anything...but just the fact that we live together is fun). I have seemingly fit into the stereotypical female roles which include making dinner, doing dishes and picking up the house. Jon is as involved in such chores, but I seem to be making them more routine. We are currently working on the yard and nothing has been more fun than creative life (for the purpose of eating it) and making our house look great.

I am anxious about school starting. Working on this grant has been tough because the money is tight...but I keep reminding myself how great it will look on a resume. Now that I am a good student...I get more excited for school.

Life in general is terrific. I am learning new lessons everyday...but my life is going where I've wanted it to go.

Which leads me to my book:
I will be publishing it on my own once it is finished. I am incredibly excited about it! It is going to cost a lot of money...but I am prepared to take out a loan. :)
This whole experience will just be a dream come true to me!
Thanks to my uncle Jon I am more inspired than ever!

Ok...enough for now...
I am going to try to write at least every other day! Or if anything interesting comes up!

Summer 2009

2009-07-06T11:31:00.000-07:00

Alot is going on. 4th of July weekend just ended and I have decided to move to another country. I made some what of a fool of myself and am now wanting to dissapear. I am officialy a hermit. Boo-Yah.

Thats all.

Whats giong on in Lyndsee's life now

2009-05-26T13:20:00.000-07:00

Ok..so its less than 2 weeks till my 25th bday and here is what I will be doing while ringing in my first quarter of a century.

Jon and I have officially moved in together. It is an absolute blast! I have never had so much fun with a roommate. Being that he owns the house, we are not splitting any rent. He didnt want to pay anything because he saw it as his house and his investment...but I wanted the house to feel like it was mine as well. I am not paying him a 100 cohabitation tax. This helps him pay his taxes on the property and allows me to put holes in the wall. We are getting along amazingly and I think this is the funnest time of my life! I am conforming to his minimalistic ways while he is getting used to having stuff in the house that doesnt neccesarily have a purpose.

I will be in less than a month! I am super excited about that! I dont have much money to spend there...but I think I will survive. I am currently asking for money from my family members for my bday. We'll see how that goes! Hello Credit card debt! :)

This summer I will be spending a lot of time bbqing...and gardening. Just recently Jon and I found out that we have potatos growing in the backyard. How fun is that? Totally fun!

My job has been busy. I dont feel like I have time for much anymore. I am working full time now, but hopefully when the summer gets going I will be working less. It is so nice to be able to not have to work! That is mainly due to me living with Jon and the fact that I basically have no bills! Woo-hoo!

Audrey: I am getting a package ready for you! I have a lot of fun things in there!

Ok..life is boring now...I'll write later.

Hello

2009-05-21T10:50:00.001-07:00

Hey Audrey,

I am about to send a package...would you like anything real specific. I have one fun thing I am sending you! :)

I miss you! sorry I am not on here as often I will try!

Stress

2009-03-16T10:59:00.001-07:00

OK, this semester is unknowingly going OK, I think. I may have to drop a class because I literally forgot to have a paper in on time and now the highest grade I can achieve is a C. Damn. I was so angry with myself. I am basically caught up...but being that three of my classes are team oriented I seem to be doing a lot of extra work that is really starting to get to me. Do I tattle or not? Who knows. We have a huge presentation today and I basically did the majority of it. Had I not...my grade would have suffered...
Jon and I might be fighting right now. I have no idea. We have not spoken...mainly because my cell phone charger is at his house and I am too afraid to get it. I think the stress of moving in together coupled with thinking I'm going to lose my independence has me feeling like an emotion wreck! I can feel the stress is my chest and all I want to do is run it off fast and hard.
I am having a hard time with friends. SAturday night was ackward and sort of helped me see who my real friends actually are.
Emotions Emotions Emotions. I am feeling so many emotions! I feel like smoking a cigarette! Eh...that'll just make me feel worse!
The girls will be here on Saturday. I am incredibly excited! Hanging with them for a full week will be awesome!

Giving it up

2009-02-25T07:25:00.000-08:00

So here it is...the day after Fat Tuesday, (Ash Wed. I suppose), and I am turning Catholic. Not really...I am just giving up somethings for lint ((sp)). I understand the concept well enough, but I will be giving up some very annoying vices. These are things that are not too bad...just bad enough to make me want to give it up. I feel that if I change small things in my life...the big changes will follow. Organization, time management, money, savings etc. I seem to save my money for the things that will give me pleasure now rather than later. I rarely think about the consequences of the things I am doing until a few days later when I regret them.

My trip to Vegas is going smoothly. I am having a hard time decided when to actually go. I leave for Texas in May, the day classes end, for Tors graduation and then its off to a Mexican cruise. I am so excited! I have money stashed for all of this so that I dont freak later!

I may have mentioned this before, but Jon and I are moving in together. There are so many emotions I am feeling and the number one emotion is excitement! I can hardly wait to share my life with him! Not that we already dont share a life...we'll just be doing it differently!

Ok, time for homework.

Does anyone even ready these?

What's new

2009-01-26T12:19:00.001-08:00

I have become a better organized person. My new years resolution. I try to pick up my house every night. Emily and I are not very clean...so this jis becoming harder and harder.

Emma gets fixed tomorrow...I know, I waited far too long...but I realized it was a neccessity when she was walking around the house horny. Can't have that can we? Emily thinks the cat is going to get her foot pregnant. I doubt it..but weirder things have happened.

This spring is going to be AMAZING! Things I am excited about...Caty and Jessica are flying to Indiana in March for a week. Going on a cruise in May, Vegas in June. Not to mention that weather is going to be so nice!

We are supposed to get a snow storm here tonight. We'll see. Evansville weather is predictable in that its not predictable. Get it? Maybe we will all have to stay home tomorrow. Yay!

Super Bowl on Sunday...Holla!

Oh, and I shipped a package to another country this weekend...only $13! Avaiation is awesome.

Oops again...

2009-01-12T06:34:00.000-08:00

((I accidentally posted that last one before finishing))

In the fall I recieved two bogus tickes in Chandler...which I am still dealing with. The laws in Indiana are incredibly different than Colorado and they are treating me like I am a criminal. Literally...I have to take a driving class for not stopping all the way at a stop sign and my plates being a few days expired...Blah blah blah...Chandler has taken as much money out of me as they possibly could have and I will remain pissed off forever. Nonetheless...I will never spend a dime in that town again...niether will Jon or anyone else if I can help it! They messed with the wrong girl!

I am now back at school and work after three weeks off and have realized I didnt do very much. Just yesterday I cleaned my house and got things organized...things I shouls have done weeks ago!

I hope you had a delightful Xmas...I am sorry I am getting things out to you so late! Happy New year, Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas!

Love,
Lyndsee

OOps...

2009-01-12T06:31:00.001-08:00

So I have forgotten to keep up with my blog. I'm sorry!!! I cannot believe how fast the last 6 months have flown. I am still collecting letters and items to send you...More than likely they will arrive the beginning of February! I know, I am a terrible friend! Many things are happening...which you will find out...but is here the short version. :)

Emily and I have been having many parties on the weekends, to which now our landlord and neighbors loath us. It's alright with me...we will be out soon enough and I am going to live somewhere special....

Money

2008-11-02T14:19:00.000-08:00

This is what I dont understand about citizens in the US. Everyone is so dependent on the government, everyone thinks things will turn out alright. This is not the case! My generation and the generations that will follow will not be getting social security. Our generation will not have money waiting for us when we retire! I am 24 Years old and have a retirement account. My interest is around 6% and will more than likely decrease. Therefore I am planning a retirement for myself. Please people. Dont rely on a government that is uninterested in whether you retire at 60 or when you die. Save a little bit here and there...you will be better off.

Halloween/Victoria/HelloAudrey

2008-10-29T10:48:00.000-07:00

Ok,

So, this last weekend my younger sister came to EVV to visit. It was great! We Halloween partied it up and did various other fun things. I was very sad to see her go and even cried when I dropped her off. I may have cried because I knew I had another 2 hour drive ahead of me, but regardless, I knew I was going to miss her. Now that she is gone, I must catch up on a a lot of homework.

Nothing else is really new, other than the fact that my ethnography is Done Done Done Done Done! I have never been so happy in my life. Now that it is done, I must pick up the pieces of my life that fell apart during my research. Including my house, boyfriend, and cat. Emma recieved flea medicine yesterday. Although she may be over the fleas, I am very nervous. She had a bath ( which was hilarious and sad all in one) and I gave her the flea meds, which she hated.

I just found cheap tickets from INDY to DENVER! 189! Woot Woot!

Hello to Audrey! Look in the mail....

Holler!

Blackberry Ghost

2008-10-08T11:54:00.001-07:00

I just orgasmed.

New things

2008-10-08T11:45:00.000-07:00

Well, thus far, on this Wed. I have failed my first mass exam. I dont know for sure, but it feels like it. Being my first online class, I have been a bit nervous! We will see how that goes, but it just doesnt feel right! Gah! Otherwise school is great! I have so much time on my hands that my life feels organized! For once in my life.
I recieved some relatively wierd news within the past week or so. I wont go into too much detail about it, some of you know, but I am a little creeped out. I would express it in my blog, but then the celebrity magazines will get ahold of it and people I dont want to know will know what I'm talking about...and it will just be a big mess! Basically, it has changed my life and my output. Gah!
I told Jon I thought we should live together. No alcohol was involved in that conversation, just the sound of bowling balls hitting pins. He just kissed my forehead and said that he knew. Reasons I want to move in with Jon are man. 1) Economical reasons 2) Starting out life together 3) Emma...those are the main ones. I love living with Emily, but niether of us are ever home and I feel like I'm just throwing money away.
I'm incredibly excited for Christmas. Jon and I will only being staying at my parents house for a few nights. Possibly only Christmas Eve. Jon wants a true vacation and doesnt feel like staying at my parent house is a vacation, more like an extended job interview. My words, not his.
According to Audrey's blog, she is leaving in a week. WTF? Really? I guess it is October. :( I will remember to send her little gifties from America! If your reading this Audrey, I will save clippings from papers and update you on what's going on here! You should tell me what kinds of imformation you would like to know! I miss you!!!!
Well...off to kohls...time to get a new wallet! wo-hoo!

Audrey

2008-09-22T12:51:00.000-07:00

I wrote you a poem:

Goodbye my friend,

I'll see you again.

Robert D. Orr,

Is simply a whore.

Something close to my heart,

will always be shopping carts.

Tell Yo-Face Goodbye,

He probably wont reply.

Good Luck in Africa,

Meet a hot man-ica.

I will miss the lunches,

but not the spicy chicken bunches.

I'll keep up my blog,

blog rhymes with frog.

Goodbye Audrey!Send me your address when you get there!

Newly Organized

2008-08-25T10:21:00.001-07:00

I just have to say that I want to be organized. This dream will come true when I get home because I have ordered a BRAND NEW BLACKBERRY! My old one was just that: Old. Old news, yesterday's weather...etc. I will now be hip, technologically connected and out of a contract with Verizon, baby! I will still have the awesomely unique number so nothing will change really, other than getting great service. Being that I am now organized with the help of robots (almost), I will be organizing my room/car/house/office.
Luckily this is my last week here, which means I am already packing my personal belongings. I have realized that leaving a job is like breaking up with a boyfriend. It is never easy. :( All the memories flood into my mind until the excitement I feel turns into mourning and the possible anxiety of regret. Oh well...I'm Peacing out in 4.5 days!
One more thing I must complain about is writing. When will I have time? I thought my first book was finished...oh no. Not even close. My second book is coming along fine...but honestly I just wish I were finished. My poem book...well...I would have to spend a day finishing that and a day is something not available to myself. :( I need to talk to other writers...see how they do it...because I am having some major issues.
Well...I am hoping I figure out this blogging thing soon. I am also hoping people read it. I am incredibly interested in other people's lives so hopefully you are in mine. :)
I will now leave you with a song:
Mrs. Mary Mack Mack Mack .......

Starting something new

2008-08-22T10:39:00.000-07:00

I am trying something new with these blogs. This is specifically going to be a means of keeping in touch with my good friend Audrey. In the last few months we have become Lunch/movies/drinking/hiking/climbing/picture taking buddies. Unlike facebook and MySpace these blogs will give people a keen insight into our fabulous lives.

I am currently at work, eating at my desk. I couldnt wait the twenty minutes that lunch would actually begin. This is the last day of my second to last week of work here. I am going back to school to rule the world. That is my major specifically taught by Pinky himself. After being in the professional world I have learned that it is dumber than I expected. Many of my coworkers are...well, we dont need to get into that, I'm sure you've heard it all before.

Update on my life:

I have boyfriend and a kitten. Emma and Jon are thier names. Emma causes me to bleed everyday whereas Jon gives me pimples. I love both dearly for those reasons. I live in Evansville, IN but am from Brighton, Colorado. Colorado is great to visit...but not to live. I prefer the life of cultured society. I will be a full time student again, continuing on with my Communications major. I live 40 minutes away from my school due to heavy traffic on every major road. The commute is obviously the hightlight of my days. I don't smoke but drink. I don't go to church much and I swear. (trying to change that last one) I currently love watching CSI and playing sims on XBOX although I am just getting into medal gear solid, thanks Jon. I drink wine almost everynight because I heard it was good for you. Basically...I'm a student, with a boyfriend, roommate and cat that likes to have fun. My sister may move here but I can add that later. I miss my family dearly even though they also give me pimples (one of them is a pimpler herself...messica)

Soo...that's it for today. Maybe I'll do another later. Oh tomorrow Audrey and I are having a sticking it to the Orr man party. I am like super excited. (said like valley girl on crack). I now leave you with a song.

First Blog

2008-08-12T06:59:00.001-07:00

So, this is my first blog.

I am in an incredible mood due to the start of a great week. Sunday was a little rough because I spent the day helping Jon move into his new house after only a few hours of sleep and he later felt the grumpiness that ensued. Monday was an incredibly productive day, at work and home. I finished my most dreaded task that must be done once a week...which I have stretched to once every two weeks. Work still hasn't caught on. I cleaned the house and my room last night which was in desperate need. Being that it is now only Tuesday and I have a lot accomplished, I am satisfied. Today will be the day I clean the bathroom and vaccuum. One feat I have yet to accomplish is figuring out a way to make Emma's litter box invisible to the nose. I clean her litter box and she uses it immediatly. That never pleases me. Tomorrow I am taking the last of my vacation day's to go to a movie with Audrey.
