Yay only 2 more days!  Part of me is sad ... but most of me is glad!

Scott got some birthday gifts and cards in the mail yesterday.  The last part of his present from me came as well.  Of course I can't talk about that here since he reads the journal.  So everyone will just have to wait to find out what he got!

Our wedding prints came in too.  Still waiting on the album.  At least I was able to fill in our hanging photo holder and some of our mahogany frames we purchased.  I do need to pick up some more frames.  I'm running out of wall space so I'll have to forgo some to the album and maybe replace some photos already on the walls.

I divided up the extra prints among the wedding party, parents and grandparents.  They are in packets along with their photo CD.  I hope everyone likes them.  If you gather the time all together it did take a few hours.  Scott needs to find a wallet photo insert so that he can use his wallet photos.  He was looking for an extra wallet this morning that he thought he still had, but alas he did not own it anymore.

Skyler and Christina are coming over to our house tonight for a couples dinner.  I am excited since this is the first of many I am planning with all the couples we know!  We are having a Mexican night tonight.  I mixed up some Sangria and Margarita mix yesterday.  There will be guacamole provided by Skyler and Spicy Corn Salad and Beef/Chicken Fajitas made by me.  I had an experience last night with the Cayenne pepper.  I need to learn to be more careful around that stuff.

I literally just stepped out of my car at work and within 5 minutes I was "harassed" 3 times.  I'm not wearing anything new, I've worn this outfit before.  Maybe because I look a little more put together today I hit closer to my age range then that of a 14 year old?  I have to say though that being screamed at, "Doesn't she look beautiful, Damn girl that blue really brings out your face" from down the street, or gawked at as you walk past me, or what about this one, "Praise the sunshine"...??? WTF does that mean?  I don't like it.

I've never been one that's very comfortable with attention or compliments.  It's not that I'm not confident in myself.  We all are a little self conscious yes, but overall I have a pretty strong love of me for being the way I am.  I might not do well with attention because Ive always been behind in developing?  Maybe it's a stigma of being a girl?  Always wondering what's the motive behind the compliment?

Most of all it's because of how I'm complimented.  I've gotten better with accepting love from my friends because that is given in a nice way, a safe way.  Compliments that are jeers and cheers are not cool, especially when I tend to normally look 14 even though I'm 25, and they come from 40 plus year olds. 

I look closer to my age today but I'm not whored out or anything.  I'm dressed for work, I look well kept.  It's nice that you think I'm pretty there Mr. Sleazes, but that doesn't mean you get to degrade me in the process.  Sorry, but women do not like being put on the spot.

Current Mood:  Miserable

Well it's happened.  I stepped by into my geekdom and am about to join a D&D session again.  I know, by doing so I'm shaming my girlhood and most likely my being a grown-up.  Part of me is doing this because Scott has always gotten a kick out of me gaming with him, part of me thinks it might be fun again now that my schedule is el' random.  Also I do complain that I don't get to hang out with people enough so this will force me back to socialism.

I'm also a little nervous, what with being the only girl and always coming in as a newbie.  I've participated in sessions before but I am one of those "use it or lose it" brain types.  I always need to relearn the basics each time I come back in.  Plus it is hard being the only girl sometimes.  I'm not a typical D&D girl, I am more a girly girl.  My comfort zone has always fit better around guys, I have more males I'm friends with then not.  They just don't always feel comfortable around me.  I don't want to take away their "man nights" but I also don't want to be surrounded by complete manly manness either.  Eh. 

Skyler is DMing the campaign in the city of Ptolus.  It's a combination of urban life and fantasy realm mixed in.  I've been working on a character and Scott has been tutoring me again on the basics.  I hope I don't disappoint people and I hope I actually enjoy making this decision.  Another problem I have is keeping awake.  It's not slated to be a late session since it is on a Tuesday.  I think I'll still need caffeine regardless.  I tend to conk out at midnight which is right around when this would end.

I will try my best to put my nerves aside.  If I'm openly accepted and work hard to keep up I think it will be a win-win situation.  Here's to trying anyway!

I finished all the picture CDs last night for people, yay me.  Now I need to figure out how to get them to everyone.

People at work are in a pissy mood today.  It's opening week so the Production Department is running around scrambling.  Our Business Manager has the auditor in today.  Me and the Marketing Director only have 3 days after today and are attempting to download our important items.  It's just crazy busy and everyone is on edge. 

It doesn't help that there are still frustrations held on to from over the summer.  Also they are testing this new sound equipment in the house of the theatre.  So they keep playing the same damn song over and over while moving the volume levels.  We can hear it out here in the lobby so I feel sorry for the person actually in there.  It is grating on my nerves though to hear the same thing over and over again.

I'm going to step outside to check my meter.  Hopefully the fresh air and better lighting will give a calming effect.
