So it's almost 6:30 and I've been up since 3 in pain.
At this time every year I develop a nasty sinus infection.. damnit.
The left side of my head just aches!! When my sinuses are acting up, the gums in my mouth on that side swell up (sometimes over my molars a bit) then I can't even bite down all the way. It even hurts to open my mouth.
It freakin sucks.
Damn you Michigan weather!!! I heard it's going to be bitter cold tomorrow.. definetly not something I'm looking forward to that's for sure.
I'm planning on going into the Urgent Care center at 7 when they open then head to work. We're short staffed so I'd feel bad calling off.
Speaking of work, yesterday they fired the new scheduler (who had missed her 3rd day in 3 weeks), and then Sharon put in her notice. Now that makes 5 people that have left in the past 2 months. Nice!
I like the new manager so far.. She wants to restructure the department, which hopefully means I can move my desk away from the spot it is. :) yay!
Anyhow... I'm off to get ready.
I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEKEND!!

I should just make this a monthly update.
So since I've last updated.. things have changed!
Chris's roommate "forgot" to pay their mortgage a few times, so they got kicked out. Chris is now living back with his parents and we're saving a money to buy a house. The plan is to start shopping in April and have a house by the end of the summer. :) yay!
Things at work are nuts. Lindsay our manager resigned and left that day. Felicity put in her 2 weeks (well, less than that..) then left. We started training a new person for this position... then Revell who works with our department in our office, she got layed off. Things are so unpredictable it's crazy!! I've been there for just over a year and in my department the only people that are still there from the time I started are Denise (my supervisor) and Sharon. When there's usually 7 people in the department. It's nuts! (oh, and before all of that Erin quit too.)
I haven't been to the gym in a few weeks and I can tell. I've been really lazy! Not to mention eating terrible foods. The plan is to go tomorrow and kick some butt this week!
I've decided not to go home for Thanksgiving... I'm going to go with Chris to his grandma's. Then spend the weekend at my mom's. She apparently made plans for us to go shopping. lol
I think I've made a good impression upon Chris's family. His Grandpa's wife called his mom to ask for everyone's pant sizes.. this is a quote; "I need everyone's pant sizes and inseams including Chris and Crystal's". I guess I'm in! lol
We made it to our 1 year mark of dating. He says it's not offical until Jan 1st when we made it offical.. I think that's him forgetting. He made up for it by sending flowers to work. :)
My brother's living back with my uncle. That's drama. He says he's saving money to get a place of his own.. I don't know how I feel about that...
My car has made it past the 2 week mark. However I have a head light out.. and I haven't fixed it yet. That's on the to-do list. :)
Last night I went out to dinner and drinks with some girls from work. It was a good time! Mandy doesn't get out much because she has a 3 year old, and I hadn't seen Becky in a few weeks because we haven't gone to the gym, and I never hung out with Christina before so it was a good time. We're planning on doing it again.
Then I went out with Dana and Chris (her Chris) to our friend's birthday. It was ok. I found out that Chris's uncle owns a graphic design company. Apparently Chris thought I went to school to become an art teacher (which I did, but then changed my mind). He's going to talk to his uncle for me! It's nuts!!!
In other news... Kelly's going to hollywood and I'm jealous. Don't forget about the little people kel.. :)
Because Iv'e been lazy, I have lost touch with some people in my life. It sucks. But I guess that's a part of growing older. I turn 25 next month. Yikes!
That's my rambling for now.

In the past few months I've learned a lot about myself. I've learned when it comes down to things, I'm the one that matters.
I never got a call back from the dr's, so that's a good sign! Even after they had me go in to do extra tests.
Work's going all right. Last week was extremely stressful. In the end I received the help I needed and everything was all right! It's a bitch when you count on someone then they back out at the very last minute. It worked out in the long run thanks to my good buddy in VA and Felicity. :) Everything else there is good. I love my coworkers. Stephanie will be having her baby soon, and there's another secret that we can't talk about yet. :) I love those girls.
Friends.. well.. we all know what's going on (I suppose) with this one. I don't think I have to write about it here. It just comes down to the fact that time goes by and people change. I could go on, but I won't.
Chris and I are good. :) He's amazing. Yesterday we went and saw Transformers wtih his friend and his friend's daughter. The movie was better then I had expected! It was awesome!! It was on your seat excitement. :) Chris and I then went to Max & Erma's. Yummy. It was good, but then I felt sick. We went to his place and watched some movies then I went home cause my stomach wasn't feeling too hot. I hadn't felt like that in a long time. I'm doing better today though.
First workout today. I've gotten mixed reactions about this. I have a few supporters, then a lot of people who believe that I will do it for a little while and quit. Hey, that may happen I'm not going to say it won't. But thanks a lot for the support.
I've become more blunt and honest. I give that credit to Chris. :)
My brother turns 5 this summer. Which is nuts! He's gotten so big, fast. I saw him last weekend. :) He's fun. I need to get an idea of what to buy him for his birthday. I'm so lost on what kids like..
I have made a dentist appointment for next Friday (Friday the 13th at that!) I hate the dentist. I'm going to another new one. At least this time I have insurance so it won't be $1500 out of pocket. Well, with the work I need to have done, it could be that expensive! The dentist scares me. THe lady on the phone sounded like she didn't know shit, so this could be interesting.
I've been talking more to my younger cousin's. I love them. :)
My grandpa isn't doing so hot.
My dad's birthday is next saturday, maybe I'll send a card.
Still saving for a car. I'm so nervous to actually go into the process. The idea of committing to something that huge scares the crap out of me. I need something though, my car isn't going to make it much longer. The idea another bill, and a bigger car insurance payment doesn't sound like fun though. Chris has been giving me some guidance on this, so that helps.
I'm glad that this is a short week. :)
That's all for my ramblings. Just wanted to get somethings out!
xoxoxo
Not sure if anyone reads this anymore, but if you do.. HI! :)

i'm really good at procrastinating.
to the people who called me last night and/or texted, you suck. i love my sleep and i dont get enough of it. so for disrupting it, i'm going to punch you in the elbow.
had a dream last night that i was pregnant. i think it's because there's so many people i know that are prego right now. that and last night when felicity and i were at old navy she wanted to shop in the baby section. she doesn't have babies. but her sister does, and people she knows are pregnant, so she had to get some deals!
we went shopping at the old navy in ferndale. it sucked. the old navy in ypsi was way better. granted since this was an outlet things were cheaper. everything i bought was on sale, however i seemed to still make my total over $100. yeah oops. i've never spent that much on myself for clothes. (not counting dresses for weddings...) it's crazy. i feel like i should go take somethings back. but oh well. i guess it's not that bad because everything was on sale. nothing was over 11.99.
one of the calls i received last night was from a private number. i answered and hung up. to whomever that called me from a private number, grow some balls and just call.
Dirty show is this weekend. I'm pumped. It'll be fun. Going to dinner first with everyone. It'll be a hot group date. hah. chris seems excited to go too.
He makes me so happy. Tim should be glad. He used to hear all about the shit that other guys put me through. :) He's absolutely amazing. He does the little things that make me happy. He thinks I'm hot. So that's cool. If we're still together by sunday (which i'm hoping so!! hah) we'll have made it past that two week mark that his old gf's usually didn't make after they met his parents. i haven't told him yet, but if we make it to march 5th we'll have hit a different mark. the longest relationship mark for me. :) lol he's the shit. i'm pretty sure i'm falling for him. :) but shh!! it's a secret. I dont want to jinx myself.
i should have my tax return back by next week. this makes me happy.
lia sophia should be in "in a few days" amanda said. she's a fucking bitch. i wouldn't reccomend anyone to have a lia sophia party. she's a shitty ass consultant too. she never calls when she says she's going to. last night i left her a bitchy voicemail, only then did she call me back. p.s. our party was NOVEMBER 10TH! fuck that.
my manager is still a whore. they keep telling us "its only a matter of time". fire her already. all she does is screw up the numbers. p.s. it's not that hard to work an excel spreadsheet. i could do it.
that's my update for now.
:P
hope everyone who still reads this has a great rest of the week!!

I thought this was funny, so I'm sharing.
Things Guys Should Never do:
1. Performing the chest bump. Sporting celebration should be proportional to the peril faced in the pursuit of victory. If your game involves an underhand toss, midgame brews,
or Velcro-backed flags, dial it down, champ.
2. Buying all the equipment after two lessons. Holster that credit card until you're certain the novelty of fly-fishing, snowboarding, or competitive bird-watching won't wear off.
3. Being overpolite. Social pleasantries should be dispensed with grace. Saying "bless you" after each of nine successive sneezes makes you an automaton, not a gentleman.
4. Writing a love poem in the first 3 weeks of dating … and not keeping it to yourself. Her hair might indeed remind you of the first new morning rays of sun. But those rays may fade, and there's no reason to leave a paper trail.
5. Finding exact change. Picking through your pocket lint for 11 cents isn't helping the barista churn through the morning rush any faster. Do everyone a favor and stockpile your coinage at home. Trade it for cash once a year, then treat your girl to a dinner you otherwise couldn't afford.
6. Marking an e-mail "high priority." Just because Bill Gates dreamed up a button doesn't mean you should press it. Pick up the phone.
7. Yelling out a song request. Sorry, but the lead singer is only paying attention to the braless blonde in the front row. Channel all that energy into clapping, Casey Kasem.
8. Overvaluing your wisdom. Just because you understand the intricacies of the global currency market doesn't mean you should share them. Unless there's a point to your pontification—you're a doctor, someone has symptoms—give it a rest. Saying, "Enough about me … " is often the best conversation starter.
9. Flipping the bird. There's no better way to make sure you meet the recipient of your gesture at the next stoplight.
10. Talking between bathroom stalls. No matter is so pressing that it needs to be discussed with your pants down.
11. Screaming at the customer-service rep. Actually, check that: Go ahead and scream. Just make sure there's a method to your madness. You're mad at the company, and you're this close to taking your business elsewhere.
12. Overpronouncing foreign words. Granted, you spent a magical week in Baja, but that doesn't give you license to pronounce "Guadalajara" like you're clearing hair from your throat. There's a middle ground between butchering a word and being the pompous protector of its linguistic sanctity. Find it. (We're talking to you, Giada De Laurentiis.)
13. Sending an angry e-mail. Along with drunk-dialing your ex and drinking appletinis, this one fits in the category of things you will always, without fail, regret. Here's a rule of thumb: The more bridges you'll burn, the longer you should let that e-mail smolder in your drafts folder.
14. Tapping the brakes. Avoid reckless drivers, don't antagonize them. Let him pass, then watch him get pulled over.
15. Oversanitizing. Washing your hands carefully after going to the bathroom: normal. Reaching for the bottle of Purell each time you exit a taxi: compulsive.
16. Obsessing over your fantasy team. If you're really that into a sport, play coach in a way that actually matters: Teach a kid to love the nuances of the game as much as you do.

i'm tired.
Christmas was good. It was good to see the family, especially my little brother. :) He makes me laugh. He says and does the funniest stuff. I called him monkey butt when i got there.. of which I've been calling him since he was born, and he NOW tells me not to call him names, like it's a bad thing.
He calls me Crystal now too. :( Instead of Juicy. lame. I told him to knock it off, he says "but that's your name."
whatever.
He was able to hand out the xmas presents by himself. :) The kid is 4 and recognizes all of our names.. he's so smart. :)
It was nice to see all my family at my aunts. We were missign Roy and Megan. No one's seen Roy in years.. and we just saw Megs at Thanksgiving.. which was unusual nonetheless. but whatev.
Good times.
I went into work today an hour early.. left 15 minutes late. I know we can't get overtime because xmas fell on this week.. but I'm banking hours to leave early friday. :)
The manager wasn't in... it was glorious.
Didn't do too much work though.. and I was ok with that. :) did more filing then anything, not too bad.. I felt productive.
on a lighter note..
I bought a new printer. :) it's one of those printer/scanner/copier deals. I like the sounds of it. I'll hook it up tomorrow.. I'm too tired now, and it's only 9:30.
I'm old. or I will be on Friday anyway. :)
For now.. time to put away my goodies from Target and go to bed. :)
Goodnight Moon.

first off.. i feel like crap. but whateva.
Today's our holiday pot luck, I made rice crispies. :) They're green. It's pretty much the extent of my "baking", even though it's not baking at all. hah.
Work still sucks, but I'm working at not letting the manager get to me. She screws up stuff a lot anyway it seems, so maybe she'll get the boot. ;)
The boo and I are good. :) He's sick right now, so that's lame. I think he may have gotten me sick.. not good. He's going to the doctor today. Hopefully he'll be better soon. Last night when he was at work we were texting and he said he wants to see me, and he misses me. :) hah we're so effing cute. no "title" yet.. but that's ok.
Chrissy graduates this weekend!! WOOT! 2 of the party girls down!!! The other one's are working on it. ::work it:: work it:: :)
p.s. the hair is fab!! :)
I miss everyone.
Patty's coming into town today!! She's bringing the baby and John's coming in tomorrow. yay!! The family doesn't know.. hah good thing no one reads this. :)
HOly shit.. 2 weeks and I'm 24. Where the hell did the time go? I just turned 23.. crazy.
So much has happened in the last year..
I'm exciting for 2007. :) I already have someone to kiss at midnight. That hasn't happened in a while.. well.. i've kissed people, not necessarily a "significant other", not since 2000 anyway. hah. Time for a change!
I think I'm done rambling.. I need to go finish getting ready for work.
xoxo!

Havent updated in a bit.
Thanksgiving went well. I picked up my cousin Megan and my brother and we went to my mom's. It was good to see all of the family. My cousin's daughter is getting huge!! My other cousin's son is getting big too! It's crazy. I felt bad because my mom did all of the cooking and cleaning, but whenever i offered to help, she turned me down.
That night we drove back down, Megan hung out for a while because her mom wasn't home yet. She got to meet Chris.
He came over and brought me flowers. :) The day before I went to a funeral and was really down and he got them to cheer me up.
I hate talking about him because I'm still scared that I might jinx it. He's a good guy. :)
Yesterday I drove out to Taylor and went shopping with Kelly. Good times!! I got some xmas shopping done!
Later on that night I went back down there with Amber and met Kelly and the crew at Dunleavy's. Good times.
Today more shopping with Aunt Lynda and Amber. Always fun. Dana stopped by today for a little bit while her stuff was at the laundry mat. I miss her. We need to hang out more often.
I dont want to go back to work monday. It's gonna suck after being gone since Tuesday. But next saturday is the company Christmas party, so that's something to look forward to.
That's all for now.

so yesterday at work pretty much sucked.
The manager (who doesn't really act like a manager...) of my department has been saying things about me behind my back. Apparently I go out for lunch too often (even when I can do whatever I want with my 30 minutes) and she doesn't think I should be taking 15 minute breaks (of which I didn't used to do, but since she was bitching before I now make it a point to.) She said that the breaks are privileges and they should be earned. And that she can take in her pipe and smoke it because I've received 2 bonuses within the past two months that I have been there. Not to mention yesterday alone I scheduled 10 audits. Eff that.
I didn't hear her say any of this. She had said that her boss had told her all of this. I dont understand why she's targeting me.. but whatever.
Oh and I'm not allowed to eat lunch at this empty desk in the corner either. But I can eat at my desk... eff this.
I think I'm going to go to her boss who "supposedly" said these things and straighten all of this out.
So I had a rough day. She never said anything to me, but she sure can flap her jaws.
Then driving down 696...
we were in stop and go traffic.. I was almost to Van Dyke.. (my exit)...
I was in my car yelling at the guy behind me because he was on my ass...
Apparently he didnt' realize that we were still not moving..
maybe he just wanted to push things along...
He hit me.
it was swell.
Why not get into a car accident after a bad day at work?
What a effin day.
