I'm sitting in the waiting room of an oral surgeon's office, about the go under the knife. After 25 years, I can no longer put off getting my wisdom teeth pulled. One got infected last week and it's all gone downhill from there.
I'm FREAKIN out, man!!!
(Bonus points if you can guess the movie that quote is from)
I haven't had anything to eat since 6 o'clock last night (filet mignon w/ grilled asparagus, natch) and surprisingly enough, I'm not starving! I do, however, have a massive headache, but I can't take anything to make it go away. It's not been a fun day for me.
If I'm not too hopped up on the drugs I'll try to get a picture of the inevitable chipmunkness that will be going on in just a few short hours. Yippee!!

Spinsterhood, here I come!
I've been brewing up some pretty "deep" posts, but I never have the time (or motivation) to actually type them out. I keep saying "some day" and "next time" but sorry kids, this just ain't it.
Instead I have pictures!
My dad managed to snag himself an apartment a couple months back. The first month was free, but he and his roommates couldn't come up with rent for the second month, so they got the boot. While there he managed to "adopt" 2 kittens. Why a virtually homeless person would find it a good idea to take in a couple of cats, I don't know. But it doesn't matter now. The kittens came to live with me when dad got evicted. They are wild and crazy and purr at just the sight of me. I love them to bits and they are here to stay!
Ruby on the left, Rilo on the right. Sister and brother.
Ruby is always on the move. And because of her blackness, she seems to blend in to everything. Most pictures I have of her turn out blurry, if you can even see her at all!
Rilo is the very definition of the curious cat. He is pretty much always up to no good. The spot on the top of his head looks like hair with a nice butt-part, the way it frames his face like that.

Talk about uneventful. This weekend consisted of a whole lot of nothing, with a helping of not a darn thing on the side.
Friday night Ty and I had dinner with courtney and Ryan. Was good to get some one on one couple time with them. You can really tell Co is pregnant these days. Her tummy is growing pretty fast.
Saturday I went out with tiffany (ty's sister) to check out a reception hall for her wedding in January. Helped her pick out a pair of shoes to wear w/ her dress, too. Afterwards I had her drop me off at Lauren's house (who is getting married next april) so I could accompany her to a venue, too. I'm thinking I should start to charge people for my services. I've unofficially become the official wedding planner for these 2 weddings. There's going to be at least 3 more in the next year. Could always use the additional income!
Sunday was family time with the Stewarts. Took in a movie and did some more wedding planning.. Was also measured for my bridesmaid dress. Yikes! Will spare the horrid details. Just know that operation: Get Jen Skinny (GJS) is most definitely under way.
Please try to bare with me, as I'm sure a lot of my posts are going to have to do with this attempt at weight loss. Oh! And wish me luck!

As I Wait
It's 6:55 pm and I'm waiting. Like usual. I'm pretty sure its impossible for tyler to be on time for anything. Dinner plans at 7:00. Meeting friends, hate to make them wait. Ty is just now getting home. He still has to shower. This happens often, and in case you can't tell, it drives me crazy! Now, I've never been a punctual person myself. If you know me, you know (and hopefully embrace) that. However, if I make dinner plans ON MY DAY OFF, knowing that others (especially the significant one) will be waiting for me to get there before they eat, I WILL be on time. There's no reason not to be, right? I mean, it's not like he hasn't been sitting around all day! Grr...
And just to bring it all together, please know that I love this kid with my whole heart. He is amazing and perfect and I'm SO lucky. I know this. But can't he just be on time for once in his life? Is that so much to ask?

Hooray for 3-day weekends! And what a weekend it was...
Friday night was the celebration of Megan's 26th bday. The theme? Death of a 25 year old. Everyone dressed in black, as though we were at a funeral. Party was at a little hole-in-the-wall karaoke bar that was actually pretty hip...
Crazy eyes AND some of the mourners.
There were at least 20 people in our party all dressed in black (except for Tyler and Ryan) which caused a lot of awkward glances in our direction. Everyone that got up to sing a song said something in memory of Megan. What a way to celebrate a death!
Saturday I hung out at my mom's all day. It was nice getting in some face time w/ the puppers. Went to a BBQ that night at Ashley and Kyle's house, got a little Rockband on, ate a little food... It was fun.
Sunday I went with Tyler to one of his co-worker's house for a BBQ. Didn't know a soul, but we still managed to have a good time. It was interesting b/c I actually dated an old roommate of the guy that owns the house , Chris, so being there drudged up some memories. Let's just say: I'm glad I dodged that bullet.
After the BBQ at Chris' we went to another one at Courtney's parent's house. We were there for maybe an hour before everyone bailed to go find better things to do. Tyler went out to the strip w/ some out-of-town friends and I went to my mom's again to spoon w/ a boxer.
And Monday was a nice lazy day. Tyler downloaded a bunch of new songs for Rockband, so we spent most of the day playing those. Stayed up way too late for a school night, and now here I am.
It's Tuesday and my boss is on vacation. Should be a good week.

Pretending to drink the pitcher o' beer from another table... Tyler lurking in the background.

1 year, 3 months
Almost 1 year and 3 months to the date since my last post. What a great blog this turned out to be, huh? I had actually completely forgotten about it until Jessi/Dude/Scott created a blog. I went to view theirs and noticed I was signed in. As Baby Apple. Lame? Indeed!
So, what's new, you ask?
Not much.
Still dating Tyler. Still not married, or even engaged.
Got a job w/ the school district. It's good and secure. Money is decent and I get free benefits.
I moved into my very own 1 bedroom apartment back in April of last year, just renewed my lease. Have at least another 12 months to spend there. I really like having my own place. I've been there done that with the roommate thing, and I was not about to suffer through it again (no offense to any previous roomies that may read this. It's not you, it's me). I furnished the whole thing myself and my cupboards are always bare, but it's cute and it's got a queen size hide-a-bed if you ever want to come visit!
My parents divorced in August of '07 after 24 years of marriage. It was an ongoing up-hill battle that they both lost. I think they just got to a point where they couldn't fight anymore. So they stopped. My mom kept the house and custody of the only minor left, without any argument from my dad. It's been really rough on us girls. Mainly just seeing what's become of our dad since the whole thing, but we stick together. If it weren't for my sisters I wouldn't have been able to stay as strong as I have.
Tyler bought a house (!!!) which is conveniently located across the street from my apartment, so we get to spend a lot of time together. It's a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, ex-boyfriend included!
Speaking of Tyler, we just celebrated our 2 year anniversary last month. I'm pretty sure that's the longest I've officially had a boyfriend. And I'm almost 25...
... Almost 25. Half-Fifty. It kind of freaks me out. I was almost certain (when I was younger) that not only would I be married right now, I'd also have a kid or two. Funny how things don't work out as planned. I'm very content, though. I like where I'm at in life. I'm on track for great things to come, I'm just staying out of the fast lane. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm riding on the shoulder, with my hazards on. Please don't crash into me as you speed into adulthood, k?
