so i'm OLDer

i know, i know..it's been foreVER since i last posted. well, i've been working so THERE.
anyways, i've decided to make a blog resolution. instead of waiting to post these mega posts like weekly, i've decided to post short ones more often. yes, no more waiting! (and july, i'm sorry about not writing you more often, EITHER. so you are resolution number two.)

so monday was ME and COURTNEY'S birthdays! hooray! it was a fun day. i woke up and lounged around the house like a bum, and ate PANCAKES for the first time in months. (michelle, i miss our late night ihop trips!) and then we went bowling with my friend liz from work, and two of aaron's friends from apple. it was fun, i made/bowled a STRIKE because i'm awesome. THEN we went to pf changs, which was of course, delicious. i could eat there for every meal. aaron surprised be with one of those cute circle necklaces, which was wonderful :) :) *DIAMONDS! i exclaimed* so good job to the HUSBAND, you are cute.

(i haven't figured out how exactly to post things. third resolution.)

pier one has been totally fun, by the way. it's like the ideal job for me. the corporate home office is in fort worth, TEXAS..so it looks like i'm just going to work there when i get sick of nursing in like 10 years. i think that's be perfect. it hardly even feels like work. i just wander around, straightening things, and moving around displays and helping old ladys find the perfect sette for their beach house. the ONLY bad thing is that my apron is RED, not cute BROWN like the regular priced stores (ours is a clearance center). but that's ok, still an apron anyhow.
we purchased our first grown-up dining table from there the other day, for like nothing. it's amazing, these discounts. MICHELLE!! you should just move here and i can get you all of these wonderful things for your apartment. it's such a waste that i don't have that many people here to share my wonderful discount with...and those that i could, don't have such an interest in better-ing their decor. which is sad on MANY levels.
at work, me and this other nurse have formed a "decorating comittee", which is fabulous. instead of boring ones like 'recruitment and retention', and 'patient and family education' (which i'm on), i get to help transform our unit to each upcoming holiday. :) last night we hung little clovers and leprachauns(?) everwhere. so fun. i'm going to try to finish the rest tonight.
mason decided that it'd be cool to chew up my glasses the other day, so i've been wearing my old ones all week. i've been feeling spunkier and more punk-like. i have this discussion all of the time with aaron, but he doesn't care. after i graduated, i felt like i should "grow up" a bit in my wardrobe..you know, and try to look classier. so i've been buying "what not to wear" approved things, to try to look schnazzier. but it never really felt like it was working, you know? i'm not really a sleek, sophistacated person anyways...so yes, fourth resolution: forget trying to be something i'm not-embrace the punkiness! i think i'm going back to the converse and tshirt wearing days. (hopefully with my new skinny body, i won't feel the need to cover up anymore.) big life changes here, people. converses=happiness. (julie, you know how you feel when you make your hair straight? it's been like that for the last 6 months. like pseudo-whitney. you're the only other person that really gets that :) )
by the way, ewl=12 pounds. me and courtney took like a 2 week break from the ol' diet, but now it's back ON. bikini's here we come!
next.
i think we're going to have some visitors here in the near future!! yip! courtney might come in april, MICHELLE is trying to come at the end of april...my parents want to come soon, and aaron's parent's want to visit in june. HOORAY! we're so PoPUlar.
