…I’m moving. I know, I know… I’m sorry.

I installed the “easy” Wordpress, and it’s now allowing me to edit themes, etc… so, I downloaded the “advanced” settings for WP.

So, with that… and I apologize over and over again…

I am now at http://www.calm-cool-and-collected.com/blog

I’m sorry! Update your links and feeds… and come with me again, please. I swear I won’t be moving again!!

April 14th!

I could write alot. I feel like it… writing and writing until my little hearts content. But I can’t. I don’t really have a whole lot to chat about, or at least anything remotely interesting.

I’m trying to figure out this whole customization of my blog and it’s kicking my ass. I’m so illiterate when it comes to this stuff, and it scares me. It’s intimidating. All these codes, stylesheets, and plugins. All this stuff… it’s overwhelming. It’s all something I could do on my freetime, but… sheesh, its taking FOREVER just to learn how to install/upload a plugin. Gad. No laughing you savvy experienced blog designers! I’m going to get me some books this weekend. I’ll blow you people away in a couple years soon if when I get this all under control.

You now are the lucky recepients of a bulleted list of events for the weekend… (while I listen to this annoying overweight lady breath like a cow thru her nose. Good god…)

**Plans for tonight… Working until 7pm and then running to a couple places to look for some Bachelorette Invites for Andrea’s wedding, if Aric can’t find any… then get those babies ready to send out tomorrow.

**Work tomorrow with SEVERE HOPES of getting some sort of news, either a YES or NO on the job. The supervisor comes back tomorrow after vacation for a week, and I just want an answer. Of course I hope she says that they’d like to offer me the position, but at this point I just want to know. It’s getting old waking up with it being the first thing I think about, going to bed with it being the last thing I think about, sitting at my desk everyday with my heart skipping a beat everytime the phone rings (which is alot since I’m in customer service), dreaming about it at night. I know, I’m pathetic. Speaking of dreaming about it… the other night, I had a dream that I was sitting at my desk here and the supervisor called me (who I see daily, all the time as I work with her) and she whispered, “Don’t come over here, but I’m going to offer you the position” and I remember being all excited……………………….and then I woke up. I was not a happy camper! 1, maybe 2 other people know which one of the 3 of us got the job… I see them every day as I’m in that department right now, and I’d like to… I don’t know… I just want to get it out of them. It’s killing me!! Patience… Patience is key. I applied for the job on January 31st… I’m hoping tomorrow will end this 7 week wait. I’m going to do lots of praying tonight… praying that I at least find out something tomorrow, and hopefully it will be good news. Woohoo!

**I took off 1/2 day tomorrow (Friday). I’m going to work 10:30-3:30 (I usually work 10:30 to 7:15pm)… I need to run a couple errands, get my nails filled for Sunday, go to Marshall’s and bargain hunt for a nice shirt or two for Chris and I for Sunday.

**Saturday… Chris’ parents are going to come down for the weekend! My mom (maybe) and Chris’ Mom (maybe), My 2 Junior BMs and their mom, and my cousin Ashley are going to meet Andrea and Brooke at the Wedding Shoppe at 10:30am. We’re going to order their dresses! It’s all becoming more real now… Then I’m going to take them all out to eat… I’ve got a couple ideas thanks to Andrea! We’ll get back probably around 1-1:30, at at 3pm we have to meet at the place we are having our reception to figure our beer/kegs/food… stuff like that, and then after that we are meeting with my dads friend who is going to cook and do all the food for our grooms dinner… and then Saturday night all 6 of us are going to go to Treasure Island and have supper at the buffet. That’s the plan anyways, unless something changes.

**Sunday, Chris and I have our engagement pictures at 1pm. That’s why I’m going to do a little bargain hunting for some nice shirts tomorrow night. We weren’t going to do engagement pictures but my dad wants us to send out some Save The Date cards to the relatives who live further away. It will be nice to have some pictures of us! And, on Sunday later afternoon/evening I’m going to help Andrea and her sister work on Andrea’s centerpieces for her wedding… I think that’s the plan still. I’ll have to check with Andrea…

And, so I think that’s about it… a busy next couple days, but a good busy! Hope you all are having a wonderful Thursday. I guess the first paragraph of this post proved me wrong… I could write, and I did write, after all.

Have a good night, all!

Slowly…

It’s slowly getting put together. I haven’t added my blogroll yet… That’s for tomorrow!

It’s far from where I want this, but I thought I’d open it up to you all now since I’ve converted all of the posts over and history…

…So, still bare with me!! I’m learning this customization stuff myself, so… the page may seem screwy every now and then. I apologize in advance!

If anyone has any pointers for learning how to do my own customization, let me know. Sam @ Temporarily Me gave me some book pointers, so I’m going to get those! I want to change the fonts and make my site look similar to hers… not same everything but changing fonts, and etc little tid bits. It will take a LONG LONG time!!

I have to get things like Twitter (not my homemade button- I know your jealous), My Blog Log Reader display (I’m here now, join my community if you weren’t a member for Simplified Sweetness…a flickr badge… and maybe even some BlogHer ads… slowly but surely…

Come back and visit! Add me to your readers!

That’s all I’ve got for now…I’m expired…Good Night All!

New Schtuff!!

Guys, you know… you know how I’ve been consistenly complaining about how I absolutely despise this layout and just all of the free layouts on WP??

Well, I’ve fixed it…

I bought a domain and I’m going to host my own site! I’m not announcing the name or address yet as nothing is moved over and I’m going to get a new spiffy design up. So, hold on a little while longer… I’ll probably be spending more time over there now trying to get it up and running (with a little help of Sam at Temporarily Me- *Waves to Sam!*)

So bare with me… It will be worth it!

Bored, Bored… and more Bored.

It’s one of those days, I’m having a good weekend relaxing… however, I’m starting to get delirious. I need to start working on laundry, I’m hungry, I’d like to just go for a drive but I’m not going to since gas is $3.05. I’d like to do all sorts of stuff, baking sounds kind of fun too… Bored. Plain and Simple. Boredom. Like the boredom feel when you’re 10 and are begging and pleading your mom or dad to take you somewhere and then start crying if they say no.

Chris is up north with Dukey this weekend, and I’m home because I’m going to help Andrea with a few things tomorrow.

I’m bored, so I feel like eating. Of course, right! That’s always how it works. And, I won’t let that win… because I’m not stronger than that!

Maybe I’ll run to Woodbury to return some stuff to Archiver’s…

…To be continued, as I won’t waste another of your waking moments reading this crapola!

You know, I kind of feel like going to Barnes & Noble and finding a good wedding planning book, or diet book… hmm.

Full Intentions

Yep, I have absolute full intentions to keep my butt plopped on this chair until 10pm tonight. At 10, I have to bring Duke to Chris when he is done with work at 11. He wants to bring Dukey up north with him, for a boys weekend! Ha! So, being the nice person I am, I offered to bring Dukers to him.

There is nothing more that I love then relaxing like this. Okay well, there are other things that I love more but this is damn close. I am sitting here with my jeans and sweatshirt, laptop on my lap, recliner out, lights off, TV on and all cozy. Love it! Even more excited that that’s what this whole weekend will entail. I need to get some laundry done, but other than that… Re-lax-ing!

Super excited… I’m going to Chicago with Andrea, 2 other girls and maybe Lindsay on April 18th. We are just going from April 18th until April 20th, but I’m super excited! I’ve never been in Chicago, just driven around. We’re staying at this hotel. How awesome is that! We’ll be getting the Deluxe room! Sweet, huh? Look at the pictures!

Tomorrow I will probably run to Woodbury, return some stuff I got at Archivers. We’ve decided that we’re not going to make our wedding invites by ourself. We’re just going to order them. It’s just easier and… I don’t have to use my brain to think up stuff. Chris and I will just pick and choose. I’m liking the thought of that much more these days. We still plan to make our own centerpieces and party favors. Well, unless we come across awesome deals for those too. For now, we’re still making them! Or, should I say I still plan to make them!

Sunday I’m going to meet Andrea and run a few errands and help her out with a few things, and I have to deliver her sisters bridesmaid dress! Excited about that! Sunday that’s pretty much it… such a relaxing weekend, I love it!

Tonight I’m in the mood to go visit someone/people/anybody… to go out to dinner with anyone and just laugh, talk, have some drinks, etc… but I can’t since I have to bring Duke to Chris. Oh well, maybe tomorrow night!

I’m starving, but don’t have any idea whatsoever that I want for supper. Don’t you hate that feeling?

So, if you stuck through this post with my severe scatter brain… Good for you!

Have a good weekend everyone!!

Word on the street…

Remember this, and this?

Well…

They have 3 final applicants, I’m one of them.

Decision is made.

The supervisor went on vacation on Tuesday and won’t be back until 3/14. She may have her supervisor announce it, otherwise we’ll have to wait until 3/14.

Pray for me! Please! Thanks!

Dear Body,

I challenge you all to do the same… it’s becoming to be a thing I’ve been noticing more out there on blog land. Write a letter to your body, and don’t hold back!

Dear Body,

Well, what can I say? We

Yet again…

I’m bored with my layout. Really bored. Sick of the blue… biiiig time sick of the blue. I don’t know if I want to pay to have a new layout..or, try to tackle one myself. I’m sick off the free ones that Wordpress.com has and… ugh! I don’t know what to do!!

I’ll have to come back to that.

Today at 3, Chris and I have to meet with our Pastor for the 2nd time. She wants to meet with us 3 times total. Today we had to finish up our marriage booklets and we’ll discuss them tonight I’m sure. Then at 5, we’re going to go to the service and see what that is like. Figured we probably should go check out the service before we get married there. Oops. Shame on us! I think we’re also going to talk about becoming a member there. I’m a confirmed Catholic, and Chris is Lutheran and we’re going to get married Lutheran. We need to join a church around here, and why not join the one we will be getting married in? My aunt and uncle go there and really like it, and I’ve heard lots of other good things, so I think it will be a good choice.

Still no word on if I got the job or not. I’m praying time and time again; I want this job SO bad. That’s an understatement. If I got it, I’d be set for the rest of my life. This job pays good, really good actually… If I got the job, I’d be 2 grade levels higher than what I am now, I’d be making probably $4,000-$5,000 a year for the next couple years, and then I’d promote myself (after a couple courses, without having to apply for a promotion… it’s automatic) and then after that I’d go up another 3 grade levels with a significant raise. I’m tellin ya… it would be a blessing!!

Tonight after Mass at 5pm, I’m going to help Andrea along with her Mom, sister in law Amy, and maybe her fiance Aric at their invites. This invite company, oh my god… has been an absolute nightmare. I won’t go into detail other than the obvious fact thats the invites were 3 weeks late, and then came misprinted… so, they finally have everything today, and we’re going to work on them tonight with hopes to get them mailed out I believe on Monday! It’s hard to believe her wedding is already only 10 weeks away. Holy crap!

Alright, I’m going to go catch up on some other blogs that I’ve neglected to read this week. I WANT a new layout but don’t want to pay a fortune for it… anyone have any ideas?!
