Shout Out!

First off, I would like to give a shout out to one of my favorite loyal readers-a Mrs. Kelly Heuer! It was great seeing you Wednesday night! We need to figure out a way to get together more often...seriously.

Do you ever get so caught up in what's going on around you that you forget about the things that truly make you happy? For instance-Kelly. She is one of my oldest and dearest friends in the whole entire world. I would do anything for her (and her beautiful little family), yet I never see her, never talk to her. And there is really not a good reason-both of us admit that. Same goes for Nicki, Star, Betty, Milford, and unfortunately, some others. This may make me seem like an awful friend, but I don't think any of them would say I am (right, Kel?). It's just life, and it happens to all of us. Even one of my best friends, who works two blocks away from me and lives no more than 10 minutes away, and I have a hard time getting together.

So, then I ask the question: What am I doing w/ all this 'time' and 'life' that is happening all around me? I'm working hard, playing hard, living hard, and loving hard. Sometimes that's enough. But, I don't want to look back in 5 years and say "Gee, Emma has no idea who I am and I don't even know Kelly's new address. I hope she still has the same e-mail address so I can contact her!".

I have been through some particularly hard times with the loss of my parents, etc. and every one of the people mentioned above were there for me 100% (and many others), so I have to expect that loyalty is not given to just anyone and everyone. And so that also makes me conclude that not only will the above fear not happen, it also won't ever be an issue for us. Even if we just talk every couple of months or so, I think it goes without saying that there is a true love and friendship shared, and that is irreplaceable. I am so blessed to have so many friends and loved ones in my life, I can hardly believe it.

So, this started with a Shout Out! and ended with an ode to all of my great friends...you know who you are! Love to all.

Enough is enough

I don't ever know what to call my "blogs". I use quotation marks because I still don't think I'm doing it right either. Is that stupid? Probably!

On a lighter note, I think Ti switched my picture. I'm okay with it, although I've never been to that particular city so I feel like a poser. Just a bit. Although, the only two people who ever look at this are Tianna and Lori, so I shouldn't worry! They my sistas!

My boss is gone for the next week or so, so work should be all right. I'll actually get stuff done rather than the 4 meetings I had today. Oi.

My kitchen is getting finished, sooner rather than later *crosses fingers*. Someone is here right now, and I can tell they've been here the past couple of days. I can eat out of a refrigerator soon enough!

All right, I'm signing off. But not because I want to, because I have to.

Enjoy my blog, Tianna. Enjoy.

Stay hydrated.

An Ode to Tianna

If Tianna wants blog postings, that is what Tianna will get. No questions asked. Prompting may be involved, but no questions asked.

This is what is happening in my life at this very moment: My apartment is a complete disaster, and it is not of my doing. I want this kitchen to be done and I want to start enjoying being at my apartment again. But, it will be great when it's over so I don't want to complain too loudly...yet. If it is not done by next weekend, the fireworks will start, that's for sure! That's all I can concentrate on right now since I'm wedged between a fridge and a stove, trying to relax and make a blog for my lovely sister!

I've got a great couple of days ahead of me; today I am going to Madison for a pig roast (in the rain!), tomorrow I'm going to Racine for a wedding shower, and Wednesday my friend Kelly is coming to town and we're going to do dinner. Notice none of the pleasant things had to do with work. I'm so over working it's not even funny. Can you take a sabatical for no other reason than you just want to forget about work for a while?! Someone please help me on this one! Haha.

It is already 1 o'clock on Saturday and I haven't gotten a thing done today, so I guess it's that time to start being productive. Waking up at 4:30 to waitress counts as being productive, right? Then I have been productive, unfortunately, Paris Hilton is reaping the benefits of my productivity and not me...waitressing sucks sometimes! *begin rant* Hey, thanks guys for the $3 tip on a $43.00 bill. Perfect, now my children will eat for a month! Who do you think I am-Jesus? I can't turn water into wine, nor do I waitress for my health! Oh, your sausage isn't crispy and fatty enough? Let me dip it in lard for you next time... *end rant* Okay, enough of that. They don't have to know I don't have kids....

Loves.

*taps microphone* Is this thing on?

Since I am at my lowest creativity point in the day, I really don't have much of interest to "blog" about. But, to satisfy Tianna and others, I thought I would the kiddies something to read.

I would also like to point out that anyone with high hopes at me keeping up on a regular blog will be disappointed, as it already took me 5 tries to log in to create this blog, and I just don't have the time or energy to devote to that every day!

So, I will be signing off for now, and will be back when the inspiration strikes!

Stay hydrated.
