| ok, so perhaps i should have updated this sooner. i got a call from my friend in minnesota :) she was driving to IL when the bridge collapsed, but i guess she was well out of minneapolis at the time. good thing! and all of her friends are safe too.
so i moved to my new place last weekend. or maybe i should say i started to move to my new place last weekend. yeah, that's definitely more accurate. i still have stuff at the old place (i don't have to be out of there until 9/2). i'm so excited to be in such a nice apartment now, but, man, i hate moving! i just don't know where everything should go. and i'm trying to make my second-hand & ikea furniture pieces look nice, but sometimes it's a little difficult!
and now i'm trying to find a rug for the living room that's good quality and pretty, but not too expensive. what a challenge! even ikea rugs get up there in price. hmmm...i guess that'll keep me busy for a while.

| i have a worried and heavy heart tonight. i tried to contact a friend that lives in minneapolis earlier. her phone went straight to voicemail. i'm thinking about her a lot, obviously with the tragedy that's happened there. i don't really know what to do. i feel like all i can do is hope and pray that she's ok; for some reason, though, that's not very comforting to me right now.
please pray for the people in minneapolis and for the community as a whole to come together.

| ok, so it's been a while since i've written in this thing. that's because my life is boring as all get out...there's not much to say.
work is work. i love most of my coworkers to death, but there are a couple that drive me crazy. one in particular makes my blood boil whenever he's around. really, i just cannot stand stupid people and he is just that. the only reason he has a job with the company is because our boss feels bad for him (he couldn't keep a job elsewhere). the positive in the situation is that he works at our warehouse which, for the time being, is a little over an hour away from our main offices (where i work)....so i don't have to see him much.
however...my job forces me to rely heavily on him and the quality of work he does. & his quality of work is....well, let's just say that everyone around the office knows that the boss' dog winston could do his job better. not only is his quality of work extremely poor, but he's a lying sack of poop who refuses to take responsibility for any mistakes he makes. it's very difficult to work with someone when i can't trust him to do his job correctly and i can't trust him to be honest with me...ever.
no one else in the office likes working with him either. the trouble is that he always seems to have some sort of excuse or some way to weasle out of being in trouble, so in the end, the boss never fires him.
well, tomorrow i'm going down to the warehouse to meet with a few other people and we are going to set up some incredibly strict guidelines and procedures. the point of it is so that "the guy" will not be able to squeeze through the cracks/holes anymore. no more free passes. he's screwed up enough. it's time for him to start doing things right and to start taking responsibility for his actions...and then face the consequences like a real man.
in other news....
well, there's not really much else to report. i'm moving to a new apartment in a month & i'm beyond excited about that! the place i'm moving to is brand new. well, they've been renting for about a year, but it's still not completely finished. it's hard to explain, but there's 4 communities in the one big apartment complex. one of the four communities is still being built. the whole place looks like a resort; it's so beautiful! on site there's 4 pools, tennis courts, a basketball court, a doggie park, a starbucks, a smoothie place, a dry cleaner, a flower shop, a mail center, a theater and soon there will be a convenience store. plus it's right across the street from my favorite outdoor mall!
hmmmm....oh! i got new glasses yesterday. they're plastic frames that are mostly a shade of green with some brown, but it's kind of a translucent plastic, so there's not too much color to it, they just sort of blend with my face. they actually look good with my newly colored brunette locks :) and i splurged on myself....i also ordered some prescription sunglasses that are absolute fabulous! they're white prada with silver stars on the side. i'll have to try to get a picture when they come in (they had to be special ordered so i won't get them for about a week or two). i've decided that they're very california! :)
i don't think there's anything else going on. like i said, my life is boring. but it's ok, i'm finding that i rather like it that way. aside from my issues with crappy coworkers, i'm very content with life. i'm still LOVING california and at the moment can't imagine ever moving away.

| ok, so i've officially been californiated...or something. seriously. it's been cold for like four days and i'm already feeling the need to vent about it. and when i say cold i'm talking lows overnight of like 35 degrees at the lowest. and it's gray outside for like one day and i'm feeling all depressed and junk. you'd think i'd be able to handle this a little better seeing as how i've lived in the midwest my entire life. but i've become accustomed to the california weather and i've been incredibly spoiled and now i can't handle even the slightest bit of cold! it's supposed to be around the mid-sixties today and i'm sitting here with some hot tea desperately wanting to go home and curl up under a warm blanket.
i need to toughen up again.
