I keep feeling myself getting more and more cut off at work, but I don't blame them. I see teachers browsing online all the time. I admit, I browse sometimes too, but I consider that time, my 15 minute breaks that I never really take during the day.
Work has been pretty routine lately. The novelty is wearing off again. I do like my work, but I get bored with working period. There so much other stuff I'd rather be doing. After seeing the two musicals this past week, it makes me want to get involved with theatre again, but I don't see myself doing it either.
Every once in a while, I'll get on a movie buying binge. I'm currently having to stop myself from buying movies off of my Amazon wishlist. I picked up 13 on Wed for about $87 which isn't bad, but I could have put that $87 into savings. Today, I went to Big Lots to pick up a plastic tool box for my theatrical makeup (my friend Justin asked me to make him and his crew look like Zombies for the midnight release of Resident Evil 5, he manages a Game Stop), and while at big lots, I decided to browse their $3 movie section. I went to a different Big Lots than I normally go to and their movie selection was so much better. I actually recognized most of their titles. The one I normally go to has some serious crap, but I was able to pick up Brewsters Millions and Darkman for $3 each. That's shipping & Handling if I order off amazon. If you can find movies for under $5, it's usually a decent deal.
I can't wait for my cousin Madison's first birthday this Saturday, and I can't believe my cousin Tanya is pregnant with her 5. It could even end up twins again. Everytime someone gets pregnant in my family, it makes me want to get pregnant. I made a promise to my orthodontist that neither of us would get pregnant till my braces were off. She's actually a little younger than I. Her husband will hopefully completling my dental implants in a month or 2. I hope I only have my braces for another 6 months. I can't wait to see my new smile.

The Weekend
Friday, Erik and I headed to a Moroccan restaurant in San Pedro for our friend Keith's birthday. We left early expecting to hit traffic on a Friday heading to the coast. We were the first ones to arrive at the restaurant, so we decided to order drinks. I found one called a Marrakesh Express. I can't remember what was in it, but it had the most alcohol of all the other drinks listed. It tasted really really good. The night was really enjoyable. They had a couple of belly dancers that I recognized from Faire and many of the guests were acquaintances and friends from Faire. We talked about how we're disenfranchised with how Faire has been run the last few years. When it came to ordering food, they didn't have a ton of choices. My table ordered 5 items that we all planned to share. We had a beef dish, 2 chicken dishes, a lamb dish and a rabbit dish. Thanks to the 2nd Marrakesh Express I had, I was more predisposed to eat meat I hadn't eaten before. I ate a little of the rabbit and the lamb. They tasted good, but I won't go out of my way to make or buy these when I'm out at restaurants. But if a friend makes them or orders them, I feel more comfortable eating them than I did previously. At one point, I went to the rest room and when I came back my friends Kristen and Karen and ordered me yet a 3rd Marrakesh Express. Erik had told them not to, and I promised not to drink the whole drink which I didn't. I thought for sure I'd wake up with some sort of hangover or at least grogginess, but I was perfectly find on Saturday.
It's sad to think that I won't be working this year. The booth Erik worked at was told not to come back and I was planning on work with them this year because I'm burnt out on games. My faire boss doesn't know I'm not coming back to work yet. This would have been my 8th season with her. Wow, time flies. I started dating Erik my 2nd faire season.
Saturday, I went up to Victorville to spend time with my mom, see my friend Emily's musical she directed "Batboy", and go bridemaid dress shopping with Judy. I loved spending time with my mom, but I always get slightly sad when I'm there too because my mom doesn't do much really. She had a docter recently screw her on some medication and it caused her to suffer some serious medical withdrawals. I always worry that my body will fail me like her's does now. It's one reason, I like to push myself at times and even when I'm sick, I don't slow down. It's really hard for me to rest, sit on my ass, and not do anything. Even, when I'm watching tv or movies, I'm working on other things. Ok back to Saturday. I swear, I've never been diagnosed, but I have to have ADD ;).
Fred and Judy decided to meet up with me to see "Batboy". It was pretty darn funny. The kids did a great job. It was hysterical seeing my old college friend and Emily's fellow teacher, Don playing a "Pastor" in the show. After the show, I didn't get to see and spend much time with Emily or anyone else because Judy and Don had a situation occur, and Judy ended up emotional upset form the altercation. I followed Fred and Judy back to their place. Judy went to Fred's mom and Fred and I hung out for a little. After, I headed back to my moms. I ended up watching Taken which is an awesome movie.
Sunday, Judy, Fred's Mom, me and 2 of Judy's bridesmaids headed over to David's Bridal to browse bridemaids dresses. She was planning on Burgundy and Forest Green as her colors. However, the moment we walked into the store, she changed them to purple. The sales lady talked her into looking at Wedding Gowns and she ended up finding the one she wanted and decided to buy that day. She decided on Lavender for her Maid of Honor and Lapis for her Bridesmaids. We were given free range to pick our own style. The funny thing is me and her friend Cheyenne decided on the same dress and the funnier thing is I think it's the same one I had for my bridesmaids. It just fit me the best.
Work today, I felt like I got ambushed by our new lead CC who I found out is going to be in my center for the whole week. She's there to help me if I need her, but I'm so efficent that I don't really have anything for her to do. Oh well, she's really nice and totally understanding, I just feel like I'm having to find busy work to keep her busy because none of us like having nothing to do.
