strollin' down memory lane.

so, after an evening of (very enjoyable) drinking, playing cranium, and being subjected to chris & aaron's high school yearbooks and videos, i made chris watch my english lit video and senior slideshow from high school... which sent me spinning into a trip down memory lane.

i was actually really surprised at how many people i couldn't really remember. it also started a whole process of wondering where people are, wondering what they're up to and really wishing i'd made it out for the five year reunion last summer. there are moments when i realize how much i miss everyone that i haven't seen in years (even people i didn't really like - as crazy as that is) not to mention how much i miss home. i haven't been home in WAY too long. and the last time i was home, let alone under good/happy circumstances.

beyond that i'd love to make it home and actually have time to meet up with everyone i've been missing. it seems like every time i make it home, it's either when no one else is around, or i'm so tied up with family i never make it away from my parents or grandparents houses... chris and i are trying to make it home next weekend, but i already know that catching up with anyone will be near impossible. which is sad.

anyway, i suppose this ramble is just to say that i miss everyone (hs, college, beyond) so terribly much and can't wait to get the chance to catch up. hope life's treating you well and that you're happy with where you are and what you're doing. :)

unknown numbers

you know what i hate?

people who call multiple times but don't leave a message. actually, i get really peeved when anyone calls and doesn't leave a message. obviously it was important enough to call me about, you should leave a message so that i can call you back.

grrrrr... i had it happen to me 3 times today, at least once on each cell phone. (yes, i'm a snob and i am truly important enough to have two cell phones... plus, i have to keep the us cellular until my contract expires...)

anyway. i started a second job last week. i'm working as a receptionist for a local realty company. so far i really like it. i'm a little tired staying up for all the training every day, but it's way better than being bored. chris has been incredibly busy with 2 part-time jobs, an internship and free-lance production work with a local production company here in madison. he starts his final semester at loras next week. he'll be commuting between dubuque and madison pretty much every day during the week in some capacity, as he has classes mwf and is at his internship on tues. and thurs. then plans to work up here on the weekends. we'll see each other, but it will be hard getting used to the part-time time together again.

other than that we're both pretty boring. we work, we sleep, we're disgustingly cute when we're together. :)

well, i should get back to work... or at least pretending to work.
