Today, Barb is: wondering why she can't be more adventerous with her life.
why can't i just say goodbye to everything and everyone and just leave.
just pick up my life and move somewhere else.
be somewhere else.
be someone else.
ever have one of those days where you just want to make a massive change and see what happens? i am having one of those days. all i want to do is quit my job, pack up my cats and room and start driving away.
but i like my job.
i like having a place called home for my cats.
i don't want to leave, but i feel like if i don't, the world is going to start crushing me.
is that weird?

Today, Barb is: sitting here with a cold nose.
for some reason my nose and hands are the coldest parts of my body for the last few days.
i could be out in the weather with only pants and a tshirt and it is always my hands and nose.
what does that mean?
bad circulation to those 2 areas? (well techincally it would be 3 areas because i have 2 hands and only one nose) what do you think?
OH OH OH OH
so today is presidents day and we are open here in the banking world.
but we are REALLY slow because i don't think people know we are open. so that means it is a catch up day for all of us here.
the Federal Reserve isn't open so we have no wires, no processing, nothing! it is great.
the other really cool thing is that if we work today we get another day off later to have, so it is like i get double pay for working today. we get paid for today and then again for the other day we want off! !!!!
yeah for me!

Today, Barb is: on hold.
no really, i am sitting here on hold to Lane Bryant because I need to pay my bill but i don't want to have to pay 5 bucks to do it, so i am going to try and throw a fit and see if they will waive it for me.
well they didn't.
jerks.
so i just went and paid it online.
lovely thing the internet, makes bill paying SO much easier, and no pesky stamps and paper needed.
so things are progressing nicely for me here.
looking at buying a place when the lease is up.
the boys are moving also. they are just going to be renting again it looks like.
i am torn between renting by myself for a year and then buying, or just buying right now.
it is kind of hard because i know that i don't want a single family home well, because i am not miss fix-it and neither is my dad. so it leaves either a condo or a townhome.
i found a condo that i really like, but i keep getting torn between what i want.
the condo is really nice and i wouldn't have to do a lot of painting because it is totally already me. but i haven't really found any townhomes that i would really like, i found one but it needs "work and carpeting" . I don't know what that means, and i dont think i want to!
but so yea, that is where i am right now.
i am actually getting preapproved for an amount over the weekend, and that will help alot with deciding what and where i will be looking for or if i am just going to be renting for another year.
so there ya go.
that is what is going on in my life.
also!
guess what?
I am going to visit my cousins Stu and Mike at the end of March. I got round trip airfare for 210 but i wish i would have waited, because i could have gotten it today for 194. but a 16 buck difference itsn't that much.
so that is what i am going at the end of march and then at the end of april my friend erin and i are going to go to chicago and see Wicked and spend a long weeked there. it should be pretty fun!

Today, Barb is: tired.
so how is everyone out in the world?
things are trucking along for me here in the real one.
there have been ups, downs and all arounds going on over here for me.
the biggest news in my world is the fact that I was promoted at work.
so moving up to teller supervisor and operations assisstant.
taking me from being right on the main floor with all the customers and moving be back a bit to be able to focus on the operations stuff. it is really exciting and good things are happening over here, not only for me but for the whole place as well!
i am starting to read the book, South Beach Diet. a co-worker and I are going to read the book and try to get our blood healthy. that is what the book is about, not about weight loss or anything be making ourselved healthier in general. so we are going to read the book and then try out best to figure things out. we aren't getting the pills or food or whatever they have out there for it, it is just going to be us doing it together.
lets see...
Thanksgiving was good.
Christmas is coming up fast.
After Christmas is New Years.
Then we have my birthday!
So this time of the year is always busy for me.
Hope you are all doing well, I will be back. Probalby sooner rather than later so you will just have to hold tight!

So there is this website called Woot. go check it out if you don't know about it woot.com
I have been looking to get a portable mp3 music player. i was looking at an ipod but then woot had a brown zune for 79 bucks and then 5 bucks for shipping. it was cheap. thirty gigs. and brown. so i decided to buy it! then i got the email from woot saying that they had negative 1400 brown zunes and so i was going to get a black zune and an extra package with chargers, plugs, earphones, travel case... it was sold for a hundred bucks. so i basically got 200 bucks worth of stuff for 85 bucks! wheeeeee to woot!
But, i got my Zune last night. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! it was really fun to play with and now i have a sweet mp3 player to use on my flight down to orlando. rock me!

1…. I have become an AUNT!!! His name is Anson Jonas Lind. See the post previous to this for his picture. He is a cute little guy! 2.... I am going to Orlando, Flordia in the second weekend of November. The Mom and Dad will be down there with timeshare time and so I am using some of by vaca time to head down for a long weekend! 3.... Stephen Colbert has announced he will run for the Presidential Office of the USA. How does this relate to me? I would totally vote for him. 4.... I am thinking of buying a iPod. It is a black refurb 8 gig iPod and if I am going to be flying around, I am going to need something to listen to. 5.... The work has its annual shareholder meeting tonight, so I have to go and look pretty and talk to people about what I do. It is appetizers and free drinks. It will be interesting to see who ends up 'loosening up' the most. Stories will be forthcoming (I hope) 6.... I bought 4 pairs of bottoms for my Flordia trip and for the possible January/Feburary California trip. 7.... Halloween is around the corner and some friends and I are going to go to this corn maze next weekend. It should be insanely fun as I have never been to one. I am going to have to restrain myself from doing the whole put-your-hand-on-the-right-side-and-don't-let-go-and-you-will-get-out thing. 8.... I think I have decided what I am going to be for Halloween. 9.... My friend Erin is coming over tomorrow (friday) for a girls night at my place. My boys and the dog will be gone, so it will just be us and the cats hangin' out! 10.... My cats are annoying me. Snuffy to be exact. The past 4 days he has awoken me right around 4 am with his pawing at the bedroom door. I left the door open last night and i was awoken to the 4am pawing of the roommates door!!!!!!!! Not cool Snuffy, not cool. So any thoughts? I have tried covering the door with stuff; a garbage basket, toilet paper still in the plastic (becaseu it is like 4 high) and my random plastic garbage bag. Doesn't matter, still gets through that stuff to paw at the door. 11.... Seely has left the building!!! I try to go to her blog and it is gone. This saddens me. :-( Come back! I miss you. 12.... The middle boss is gone for 3 days starting tomorrow. The upper boss is gone starting monday for a whole week. That means for 2 whole days, Barb is in CHARGE. Scary thought huh? 13.... It is rainy and kinda dark so no one is here and it is like an early Friday! No bosses (see number 5 for the reason why, the board meeting, then shareholder meeting then shareholder party, i only have to be there for the party!) are here and no customers are here and so i am kinda bored but in a good way! Make sense? Links to other Thursday Thirteens!1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!) |

Today, Barb is: feeling like it is friday.
which is a good thing. except i have to be back here tomorrow. :-(
meh. oh well.
ok here is my dilema that i am having right now.
when i rented my apartment i looked at it through rent.com
and it was an apartment that at the time was giving away a hundred dollar visa gift card if you signed the lease for one of the apartments in the offer. lo and behold, ours was one of them.
so i signed up for the gift card and it has arrived.
now here is the tricky part. should i just walk on the wild side and just blow it on fun stuff, like books and other stuff. i could have a field day at my fav ebook sites.
or do i take the mature responsible road and use it for like food, gas, and cat litter/food stuffs.
wild side or responsible?
thus the never ending barb dilema.
what say you people?
let me know.

Today, Barb is: wondering why work sucks so much?
maybe it is what i am doing.
maybe it is the fact that i am like a month behind.
maybe it is the fact that i need a new job.
yep. that has come again. the time of the month where barb looks for a job, sees a job she really really wants, gets interviews, and then doesn't get it. it is a vicious vicious cycle. it sucks. but alas. that is the world with barb.
i am currently working on my Thursday Thirteen and since Eric is not feeling well we are not going to Merlin's Rest for fish and chips tonight. insert sad face here. there is a chance that i may just go and have dinner myself tonight there. i don't know. i will let you know.
threw a baby shower for the sister in law who is pregnant. that went well.
baby is due at the beginning of october. so i will hopefullly have some pics up when the babe is born. i am taking guesses as to if it is a girl or a boy. we don't know.
i went to the Melting Pot last night because work (in a surprisingly nice gesture) wanted to recognize everything i have done lately and told me to take my significant other out for dinner on them. so i took eric, not quite my significant other, but the closest gayest thing i have. we had fun. i am still full and this is the day after!
found a couple new blogs that i like. been a lurker for most of them.
took pictures that will be going up today of my bedroom area in the new apt. (hint hint TT, cough) so that should be cool.
just got invited to a movie sneak peek tonight for free that i might go to. the new Ron Howard one...? something about the astronaunts, i am not sure.
ok. back to work i go!

Today, Barb is: feeling like she needs to shut herself in the closet and make all the people go away.
have you ever had one of those day?
i don't even have time to talk to you today.
that is how crazy it is right now.
can i just leave and not come back but still get a pay check?
probably not, but it is worth a shot! right?

Today, Barb is: feeling full and totally going to explode!!!
just so you all know, this is my 301st blog post.
hold on a moment while the clouds part and confetti falls from the sky.
ok enough of that.
today it is friday.
hip hip horray.
on the bad part, i woke up at like 4 am this morning to major craps.
not cool.
but it got better and then i did wake up.
i had to wake up really early to take my car to a dealership and have it looked at. my baby has this thing where i can't shift unless the key is in the shift lock thingy. and so i took it in EARLY this morning (for those of you who don't know me, i am not a morning person). i got there and i heard the most beautiful sentence in the car world
'It looks like your Aveo is still under warranty'
YES!!!!!!!!!!
way to go barb's car! i did a happy dance, right there in the car dealership. i am not going lie. i was so happy i was tempted to give the guys the brownies i made for the pot luck we had today at work.
brownies?
see the last post. yum
i made brownies because we decided to have a bank pot luck and i decided to make brownies since most people were bringing other stuff. needless to say, we have WAY to much food. like i am talking we could eat what we have for the next week and a half. we have 2 cakes.
2 cakes people.
brownies, chicken, pasta salad, lettuce salad, chips and dip, cheese curds, cucumber sandwiches, ice cream, watermelon, cantaloupe, watermelon.
way to much food.
but it puts everyone in a good mood!!! :-) so we are rip-roarin' and having a grande ole time here at the work.
have a good weekend people, i will be around.

way to go barb's car! i did a happy dance, right there in the car dealership. i am not going lie. i was so happy i was tempted to give the guys the brownies i made for the pot luck we had today at work.
brownies?
see the last post. yum
i made brownies because we decided to have a bank pot luck and i decided to make brownies since most people were bringing other stuff. needless to say, we have WAY to much food. like i am talking we could eat what we have for the next week and a half. we have 2 cakes.
2 cakes people.
brownies, chicken, pasta salad, lettuce salad, chips and dip, cheese curds, cucumber sandwiches, ice cream, watermelon, cantaloupe, watermelon.
way to much food.

Today, Barb is: feeling like she wants to rip her nose off and drain it.
i woke up this morning with a little tickle in the back of my throat. i didn't think anything of it because it is morning and i normally wake up with something aching or just in pain and so it didn't bother me.
but today as the day has progressed, my nose is starting to be stuffed up.
more and more stuffy as the day moves on.
boo.
with the exception of the small tickle that is still there and my singular nostril that is stuffed, i am fine. not tired or anything. so who the heck knows!
but don't worry, my thirteen is coming.
you will just have to wait.

Today, Barb is: so stinkin' happy that today is friday she wants to get up and do a happy dance.
please excuse her for the next few minutes
(barb shakin' her rump to her internal soundtrack)
ok much better!
it is FRIDAY!!!!
Now there is a small dissapointment on the Friday scale and that is that I work tomorrow. Oh the whoa's of the banking world. But it is just a few hours and it is in the morning so it is not horrid.
The week off that I had was great.
For those of you who did not know, I moved!
Yep I have a place a heck of a lot closer to work and with some friends.
The move-in week was a hot week (of course, i can't move at all without extreme heat. there is something that makes anytime i move, the hottest of the season).
The cats have been moved into the place as well so that is good also. I took a few days to have the place to myself and just get set up in and then the cats moved in. They lived in the closet for the first few days and now are more prone to checking out the rest of the place when the dog is not loose on them. My lazy cats don't realize that the dog just wants to play. The dog doesnt' realize that my cats play in their own time (which is normally between 1:30 am and 4:45 am).
so yea, we are all just one happy family.
i am cleaning tonight and hopefully pictures to come soon.

Today, Barb is: feeling kinda frustrated.
looking at jobs is fun.
finding a job that doesn't have a ton of experince is HARD!
all i want to do is shake the people who talk to me and say 'IF YOU GIVE ME EXPERIENCE I WILL HAVE SOME!!!' ok. it is the whole double edged sword. if you don't have experience then we don't need you, but no one will hire me to give me experience! rha.
why is the saying 'a double edged sword'? that is like stating the obvious. duh. it is a sword. swords have 2 sharp sides. and yet i use that saying a lot...... humm i will have to think about that.
ok so the going-ons with me.
jim and kristene are coming home for the weekend
highland fest is this weekend.
i move on tuesday.
i am taking my vacation time to pack and move.
i get a WHOLE WEEK OFF!!! eeekkk! happy dance!
joe and the rest of TCUC is practising for national that are coming up soon.
kim's baby bump is growing bigger and she is looking prettier everyday! she has the 'baby-glow' as i like to call it.
i still love me my car.
pretty boring i know. my goal is to find my camera in cleaning and take pics of the before and after we move in. again, i repeat. this is my GOAL. :-)

Today, Barb is: at work. doing her thang. you know.
so there isn't a whole lot going on in the life of me.
this weekend is RF Days and so i may be there.
next weekend is the local community festival that i am working at for the bank.
the weekend after that is is weekend up at my moms friends cabin which i am really really excited for! we eat, swim (sometimes), play card games, play other games, drink, eat and play more card games. it is a weekend that i love and look forward to every summer.
also...... baaaaaaaa - dum!
12 days from now and i will be moving in to my new place with the boys.
oh, yea that week i also took off so i can get everything ready for moving and so i won't be at the bank the whole week of the 23rd thru the 27th. and then that is the cabin weekend, so basically that is going to be a great 10 days!
that is basically all from me here. have a good day, i will work at getting the thursday thirteen if i have time, but i can't promise anything.

Today, Barb is: super uber happy that today is friday!!!!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TGIF!
whoop whoop.
so have you missed me?
don't be shy, i know you have.
i missed you too, so don't worry.
so, what have i been doing?
well, i have been dog sitting, but i think you already know that. the dog is a good dog, but he is scarred of fireworks and when he gets scarred he thinks he turns into a lap dog. being a 125 pound dog and thinking you are a lap dog... well lets just say that those 2 things don't make for the best of sleeping conditions.
but other than that, things are going well on the dog sitting front.
now i would say that i am looking for a job, but that sounds like i just started so instead i will say, i am still looking for a job.
if anyone out there in the metro area is looking for a hard working, HR assisstant with some experience, let me know, because i am the gal for you!
so someone told me that another person told them that after reading the last few days it sounds like all i do is complain on here. what are your thoughts?
now i understand where that person is coming from because i know that the last few days have been pretty stinkin' crappy for me and instead of going out and getting drunk or possibly hauling off and jumping over the desk and tackeling someone who bothers me at work, i vent about it.
so yea,
well. i have to get back to the audit guy we have here. this is my first audit that he is looking at a BUNCH of my stuff and my stuff alone! eek! :-)
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TGIF!
