I read it for the articles....

OK, so Brian and I were flipping through the channels this morning when we suddenly came across a porno. This was kind of odd because I only get basic cable, and don't pay for any of those channels. However, I do have a nice digital tv that is able to pick up channels I'm not supposed to. Not a lot, but some.

Anyway, a few seconds into the porn it starts to fast forward...all the way to the next sex scene.

We were totally seeing someones porno that they purchased on demand or something and were watching at home.

I guess I don't blame them much. You don't really buy a porno to watch bad actors talk to each other, lol

Just get naked, and shut the hell up.

ha.

3.7.9

I finally found a dress for Brian's brother's wedding this March.

Ok, let's rewind since I know I haven't brought this up yet in any of my blogs. Brian's brother and fiance had all of their bridesmaids set up, but then Brittany (their sister) had to drop out since she is also doing the photography. I can't imagine being photographer AND bridesmaid while still giving both jobs the needed attention. That is WAY too much to do.

On a side note, her photography is WONDERFUL. All you out there in blogger land should check her out and consider her if you need a photographer for things in the future.
And no, I don't say all this to suck up to the potential future sister in law. It really is awesome stuff.

So anyway, they asked if I would fill her spot. The details were fuzzy at first since I was only being told what Brian was being told by his brother with regards to colors and such. Trusting boys with wedding details? I think not.

When we went up to Bear Valley last weekend, I was able to talk to the bride directly and get a clearer picture of what they were looking for. I then was able to get this dress in royal blue (without the scarf thingey):

I love it. Just a cute little strapless dress in a pretty royal blue. The best thing is that this isn't one of those dresses you have to wear as a bridesmaid that everyone says "oh, you can so wear that again!"

Don't you just want to smack people who say that as you stand there looking like the good fairy from the Wizzard of Oz?

I actually CAN wear this again.

I'm looking forward to the wedding because it should be a good chance to get to know his family better. I'll finally get the chance to meet his other brother's wife and their son....I talked to her on the phone the other day and she seems really nice.

Why do I mention all this? Because it's really cool that the person you want to spend the rest of your life with has a really cool family. Even though his brothers like to tease and give me a hard time (what family doesn't?) one of them took some time out last weekend to thank me for making his brother so happy.

An awesome boyfriend with an awesome family and no crazy mother in law who thinks you are "taking her baby away"... Big time score!

MFT Trainee

I just sent off my first resume for an MFT trainee position at the YWCA. You have to get 150 pre degree supervised hours in order to graduate from the MS clinical program. After that, another 2,850 post degree hours before you can get your MFT licensure.

hah.

As soon as the semester started, one of my professors told us that even though our placement isn't until late Aug/early Sept, you have to start applying NOW.

Completely caught me off guard.

Fortunately, I usually have a pretty updated resume saved on my comp. I just had to go thru and taiylor it for the position. It's the cover letter that was a bitch. You have to rewrite those things for every damn position.

Anyway, here's hoping for an interview. I know two 2nd years in the program who are finishing up their placement there, so I figure I can pick their brains before the interview. That, and they can put in a good word for me.

My professor told me we should apply for 3-5 different positions...meh.

I'll see what happens with this one and go from there.

Anonymous

The only person who ever posts comments to my blog with an identity is Marni. I would like to put out a request to all you anonymous posters to show your faces! You don't need to sign up for blogger, but at least sign your name so I know who is visiting my blog!!

Since it always says "anonymous" I can't tell if it is one person or several different people...I'm more likely to blog more often if I see more people are reading it :)

Little One

I think she's adjusting to the new place just fine


This little one curls up in my bed as soon as I get up in the morning. She also spends most of the day getting a hold of my hair ties and batting them around the bedroom until I don't know where any of them are.

Don't be so dramatic

Brian and I went up to Bear Valley to spend the weekend at his friend Scott's cabin. For whatever reason, my body didn't like the high altitude one bit. When we got there, they all started drinking. After ONE SHOT of grey goose I was buzzed, bordering on drunk.

No, I'm not a lightweight...apparently, the altitude will do that.I decided not to drink any more, because I really wasn't looking to get wasted. Barfing at a strange place in front of people you don't know all that well = no fun.

An hour or so later I remember feeling really dizzy and nauseous. I was surprised because I couldn't believe one shot would do that to me. I remember standing up and telling Brian I didn't feel good. He got up to take me to the bathroom and that's the last I remember. After that I woke up on the floor with Brian trying to wake me up with Scott and Rich standing over us.

Apparently I fainted, fell, and bumped my head on the hard tile floor


Go figure...I missed the carpet by like 2 feet.

It was a really weird experience not being able to remember that small chunk of time. We figured it was likely the high 8,000 foot altitude that made that small amount of alcohol screw me over.

Lesson learned: no alcohol over 5,000 feet.

Baby Blanket for Connor

Just finished up a nice fleecy blanket for the baby my best friend is expecting soon. Instead of square knots, I tied every single one of those fringe pieces like a balloon.




These knots are nice and tight, and I think look nicer overall....

But my fingers now hurt like hell.

I probably should not have decided to "power through" and taken some time to rest.

Oh well, it's super cute, and I'm happy with the way it turned out. Perfect blanket to throw on the floor under the baby while he is pushing up and developing those super strong manly muscles!!
