I got worms

“That’s what we’re gonna call it, I Got Worms.” — Dumb and Dumber

Ok, really this post has nothing to do with worms. I was just going to say that I got to work early today, and you know what they say, “the early bird gets the worm.” Well, yes, I was an early bird today, but I didn’t get any worms. (Fine by me!)

I woke up after another crazy dream (which I realized today that my abnormal dreams are a side effect of my antidepressant. huh.) and I couldn’t fall back asleep, so I just woke up at 6:15 a.m. and started getting ready. I was the first person into the office this morning, I even got to unlock the door. That never happens. I was quite proud of myself.

We’ll see what happens tomorrow…

Three Years

February 5, 2010 marks the three year anniversary of becoming a homeowner. I have yet to have a housewarming party, and I don’t have one in the works yet, so maybe next month…? How many years is it too late to have one?

Three years seems like such a long time, I’m sure so much has changed. Hmmm, I was single, had a goldfish, shared an office with my boss, and … wait a second, all those things are EXACTLY THE SAME!?! The only really different things is now I have a cat too.

A lot of things have happened in the past three years, just not a lot of big changes in my life I guess. All in good time… all in good time.

Going Goth

Disclaimer: I’m not actually going goth.

Today I felt a little like I could’ve fit in with the goth crowd (not that there is one at Bethel necessarily, but if there was…) with my dark hair, dark nail polish, and wearing a black turtleneck and dark jeans. Ok, so I wasn’t wearing a trench coat nor did I have a lot of white face makeup or heavy eyeliner going on, but alls I’m saying is that I felt very black. Not like African-American (though we are celebrating black history month), I’m still very much Caucasian (and not even really tan at that). Oh nevermind. I guess I’m just still trying to get used to my dark hair. I like it, and it’s probably not that far off from my natural color, but it’s still a little shocking when I look in the mirror.

Anyways, on another subject, tomorrow my department is going off campus for an all day planning meeting. It will be interesting to see how it goes, we’re all very curious and don’t really know what to expect. Good times. I’m bringing an extra couple cans of diet coke just in case.

The Oatmeal

If you haven’t been to The Oatmeal, please go there right now. It is hilarious. A little vulgar at times, I’m not condoning that, but seriously so funny.

This is one of my favorites. How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you. It’s just good tongue-in-cheek humor. I love that kind of stuff.

That’s all I have to share today because I’m so excited about the season premiere of LOST tonight! The final season! AHHHHHH!

Just some things

Well I am no longer crabby (which is good, since I posted that like 5 days ago), though I am quite tired. I haven’t taken my nightly melatonin for the last week, to see if my body can more properly regulate itself (in terms of sleep), but we’ll see if it helps. I dyed my hair last week and it’s super dark, but I kind of like it. It turned out darker than planned, but it will fade fast, so in about a week it will be just right. I’ve been going to Substance church the last couple weeks and I like it. I love that it’s so close to me, and the messages have been great. I’m still not sold on it, but I will definitely give it more time. I’m pretty pumped though, I’ve been to church three out of the five weekends in 2010 so far. That’s almost better than all of 2009 combined. Ok, not really (but sadly close).

Alright, back to work I go. Chiro tonight with progress exam, grocery shopping, maybe Shred, then The Bachelor! Go Team Tenley!

Crabby Pants

I am totally crabby today. Everyone’s bugging me.

The end.

Photo organization

As part of my motto for 2010 (keep it simple), I want to organize and compile my old photo albums into a better, neater system. I’ve had a box of all my old photo albums sitting in my living room for the last several months and it’s been bugging me, so I finally decided to do something about it last night.

I have about 15 random photo albums ranging all the way from 1986 to 2001, some reeeeeally bad junior high last-day-of-school pics that I don’t even know why I took in the first place, or better yet, some pictures of my posters (yes, hanging-on-the-wall posters, mostly of New Kids on the Block or kittens, if you really want to know) from my room when I was in like 4th grade. Cute. There are some doozies though, let’s just say that. Anyways, I started going through all the albums last night, taking out each photo and organizing them by year. I have gallon-sized Ziploc bags labeled by year (or range of years) and I’m putting all the photos from those years in their respective bags. Once I get all the photos out of the mini-albums, sort through all the ones that I don’t want to keep, and put them in their baggies, I’ll get larger albums to put them all in. I figure I’ll end up with four or five larger photo albums, save some space for storage, as well as have a more concise, archived photo collection. And I can get that huge box out of my living room. Keepin’ it Simple, baby!

Check out a few of these old school photos that I found.

Awww.

Busted. Or Busty?

This past weekend was pretty much an entire bust. Ok fine, not an entire bust. I did watch the Teen Mom marathon on MTV (why?? I don’t know.), I cleaned my shower, I painted my nails, I went to church, I hung out with my parents, and I watched the Vikings game.

It was low-key, let’s just leave it at that.

And today’s Monday and I’m sleeeeeeeepy. I couldn’t fall asleep last night, it took over two hours of lying in bed and waiting. Either my mind was on hyperdrive or I just wasn’t tired. I’m pretty sure it was the former, but there was nothing I could do to stop it. Hopefully tonight I’ll be able to fall asleep faster (after The Bachelor, of course).

It’s my 1st Anniversary

Today marks one year of donating plasma. Wooooooooooooooooooo. Ok, not that exciting, but it’s pretty amazing that I’ve still been going after a whole year. Thankfully after my car is paid off in November, I’ll have an extra sum of money in my checking account, so hopefully I won’t have to keep donating plasma (unless I really want to).

Happy Anniversary to me! As a gift, I get to have another physical done before I can donate (apparently done every year) tonight. How romantic!

Funky Llama

Lo ciento, peeps. I had Monday off (MLK, Jr. Day), then I took yesterday off, and good thing I did — I slept until 12:30 p.m.! I must’ve really needed to catch up. All weekend I was kind of in a funk and didn’t really feel well, I have no idea why, but I feel better now. Funk. Now that’s a funny word. Reminds me of the 1st Annual Lazy Girls Day of 2009 when Gwen and Elaine came over and we drank wine and watched episodes of The Office and Cougartown and then capped off the day/night with Twilight. One of the wines we got was called Funky Llama. It wasn’t that good. But it was cheap.

Anyways, I’m back to non-funky Jenna, which means I should also get back to work considering it’s Wednesday and I have lots to catch up on after being out the last couple days. GTs.

Happy sunny Wednesday!
