March 30, 2004

Well kids, today is a special day. For the first time ever I'm updating my weblog from home. Tim hooked up internet in my new office so I'm rockin' the blog out at 9:21 at night. I know....it's shocking. :o) Tim and I are all moved into our new house. We still have everything in boxes, but it feels like home. I am so excited, it's definitely the nicest place I've ever lived and it really rocks to be living with him. We're having such a great time putting our things together and making one household. GTC is starting to get back to normal. We didn't get any of our threads back, but at everyone's done a good job of starting over again and making it feel like home again. It's cool, because the slide seeme d to weed out any of the unwashed masses. And the girls in tube tops. :o) More to come....

Okay, normally I don't mention GTC in my weblog, after all it's just a web community, but it's a big part of my life. I post there at least once a day, and even though I don't know any of those people personally, I feel very close to them. Well, yesterday, the site was down all day, and it turns out the the database crashed and all of our threads and everything were lost. I know it's not that big of a deal, but I feel like part of my life has a huge hole. One of my friends that I talk to the most is in the process of moving, so he hasn't posted on the new site and I just feel so bummed out about the whole loss, but he's not even there for me to talk to about it... I don't expect anyone to understand, but I feel like someone burned my diary or stole all my poetry.... I can never go back and reread all the great threads and laugh about inside jokes, because they are all gone and I am really, really sad...
On the upside, tomorrow Tim and I get the keys to our new house and I am just so happy....I couldn't hardly sleep last night because I was so excited. I have so many ideas for setting up the house and making it cool, I just can't wait to be all unpacked and start decorating and stuff..... *dances around* It's going to be great! I have so many ideas for everything...And the back yard is so awesome...the plants are already starting to bloom. I love spring time. :o)
Anyway, I'll keep you all posted...

And the March keeps marching....
I'd like to give a shout out to my friend Daniel who reminds me ever so often that with out my weblog, he has nothing else to do at work. And to that homeless guy I saw yesterday with a sign that said, "running for president, need campaign funds". It was way more creative then that guy in the wheelchair who had the sign saying something about a broken hip. Anyway, spent the last couple days with the Fam. My parents and my brother and sister came over from Oregon and we had a good time hanging out, being American and stuff. We drove around, checked out the city, went to the park....It was awesome. And they love Tim, which is great. *whew* Not that I was that worried, he's a great guy and everyone likes him....but you never know with my parents, they're a bit unpredictable. Anyway, the big move starts on Friday, and the great news is, I have a feeling that my weblog will be way better when I can update it from home instead of between the beige walls that I am right now. It's very hard to be interesting when there isn't anything here to inspire me. ...Except my wind-up Nunzilla. She's awesome.

Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy. That's how I feel...I don't wanna go home, I don't wanna go to work...I just wanna be at my new place already! Oh well. I had a great weekend. We spent all day Friday just hanging out downtown, had oysters at Jax. mmmmm. Then on Saturday we went to Colorado Springs for my cousin (formerly know as Tyler) Andrew's adoption party. It was sweet, he's such a wonderful little guy and My Uncle's family is just the thing for him. So then my other cousin David came up to Denver to hang out and we had a blast. Other than that just pretty mellow. Work is kinda busy but mainly just quiet 'cause Sgt Azzmunch is on leave. ;o) I made tons of updates to Sheila's website, oh and I'm getting my own Merch page where I can sell my t-shirt designs... so stay tuned...

To do is to be. Yeah rock on honey....Today is a sunshiny day and I'm feeling good about it. I order everyone to get out and absorb some sun, and go out and buy Jet - Get Born. It is the quintessential rock-out-sunshinin'-car-cruisin' kinda album..... I got 2 (count 'em two!) new reviews by our man in San Diego, Daniel Jones. Check those out, and listen to what the man has to say....he's got great ass-shakin' sensibilities....he's never steered me wrong on an album. (Who do you think I have to thank for Jet?) I love spring...makes me wanna buy some flip-flops and stop eating junk food.... except for lollicup. mmm.....lolilolilolli......

Don't you hate it when you look forward to the weekend all week long and all of a sudden it's Monday again and you're like" What the hell just happened?" I had all this free time and it's gone, just like that! Oh well, I had a good time. Tim and I had pizza Friday night at Serioz next to our new house. It was really good actually, but I didn't eat very much because I was all hung-over from drinking an entire bottle of sake by myself the night before at Opal with Jess and Mon. ;o) Anyway, Saturday, we had a late breakfast at The Delectable Egg. (Yay for stuffed French toast!) I so ate like a fat kid this whole weekend. :o)Then we went and checked out house stuff in Cherry Creek and hit a few estate sales. It's so exciting planning things together. I never thought I'd become a dorky "can't-wait-to-set-up-house" girl...But I am. :o) The highlight of the weekend was the trip Tim and I took to Estes park yesterday...it was so beautiful up there! Really and truly, I can see why people want to live in the mountains, it's so breathtaking... (Hi, I'm Erin and I'm auditioning for a role in The Sound of Music...) :op
the hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiills are aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive.....

Okay, it's final...We signed the lease yesterday and that house is ours! It's such a relief to have that in our hands. :o) Now, we can focus on packing and getting our stuff all ready. Yesterday was great...I had an awesome photo shoot for a project I'm working on...check these out...
Also, here are a couple links for the pics of the house. Enjoy...outside & inside.love to you all,

Hello kids! Today was kind of da-ba-dee-da-ba-doo kind of blue day. I'm so not in the mood to be at work....I want to be outside, in the sun with a sandwich in my hand staring at my new house. *sigh* Life is so unfair....They make you go to school the whole time you're a kid and then you grow up and you have to work all day.....WHEN DO I GET TO DO NOTHING????????????? Sometimes when I'm trying to come up with creative work ideas, it helps if surf the web and try to find cool pictures, but somehow I always end up distracted and shopping for house crap. I am so excited about our house! I might be obsessed, I'm not sure... but look at it...why wouldn't i be???
aaaaawwwwww! It's so cute...and it will be even better when the grass isn't brown... :)

WE FOUND OUR HOUSE!!!!! Okay, we're not buying it or anything like that, but finding a good rental with all the things you want is really hard. I should know, I think we looked at a gazillion houses before we found this one... I can't wait to move in. You'd think after all the moving I've done in the past six years that I wouldn't want to move again, but I love taking my stuff to a new place and seeing how it all fits together. Plus, I'm going to be with Tim. I've never lived with a boy before, but I think it's going to be a lot of fun.

Anyway, I took some pictures of our place, but they didn't turn out that good, so as soon as I get a nice photo, I'll put it up. On the work front, things are starting to pick up...I have been tasked with creating a Multimedia Gallery webpage for our section, so that people can go find templates and stuff to help them out. It's going to be a huge project, but I think it's going to turn out really good....It should make for a great portfolio piece. Lord knows I need them...I have been putting off making the call to the Art Institute only because I want to have a great portfolio when I go up there and I just haven't had the time to put anything really great together. I'm worried that I haven't done enough "non-air force" stuff to impress them with. It's all so stressful! :o) I think I need a bagel sandwich.
