lazy saturday

you know that Chronic(what?)cles of Narnia video is actually called Lazy Sunday. too bad i won't be rappin for yah today.

i just want everyone to know that i went walking today. not running...10 weeks off of running doesn't exactly allow me to jump right back in, but still. i climbed the huge hill on my street and jogged the way back down it. new years resolution #1 is half-way in effect. i resolve to go to the gym tues-thursday instead of eating lunch out with everyone from work.

of course, the wind was kinda chilly and i'm sure that didn't help my cold much, but i have the rest of the day to whine about being sick.

i started writing something yesterday afternoon, but we had a birthday party for the boss and the guy who gets on my nerves, so i got distracted in mid sentence and never went back.

does it not make you uncomfortable when a guy discusses his wife's birth control and cycle in front of you? the guy who gets on my nerves at work did that twice this week. i thought kristie and i were going to die. and i can't say anything b/c i'm being nice to him! AHHGHAH!

my nose hurts.

there are so many basketball games on today! the conference season has begun! woO! i doubt i'll watch them all, but it's nice that there's something on besides NFL football. *snore*

i know no one else pays this much attention, but have you ever noticed how the commentators for JP Sports basketball are also contracted to work for CBS? the guy with the grey hair that wears eyeliner is doing this Florida/Georgia game...and i know i've seen him during march madness and during something lame like figure skating and golf. and Tim Brando does studio work for CBS during football season, and he announces JP games i think for the ACC. man i know too much about this stuff.

i dunno what else to talk about. the drama is being kept to a minimum since i've spent a lot of time sleeping this week. i keep wondering if i ruined any chance of seeing phil again since i freaked out like always. we still talk and all...and it's not totally weird, just a little different. i almost said something last night, but he wasn't paying attention and i really didn't want to start something. patience, young grasshopper. what will be, will be. he'll read this and be like "whatever laurie. chill out." haha

alright, that's my update. hope you have a relaxing weekend. go out and enjoy this spring weather. just don't light any fires. i would hate to see you on the news for burning down an entire city.

<3

blahblahblah

i don't mean to be a whiny bitch (or maybe i do?), but i'm not updating b/c no one will leave me a comment! i get 20 hits a day here, and no one says a word. screw you guys!

oh. and i'm also posting here while i'm at work: starchica @ xanga

hmph!

happy new year! sorta...

i've been posting on my xanga lately too, so making up things to talk about here is becoming increasingly difficult. i'm not ditching this blog. i love it. i've had it almost 3 years now. over 300 posts! so i'm doing my best to maintain both.

i had a good new years eve. better than i can remember. i went to northwest arkansas with matt and ash. hit a new years eve eve party @ joanna's in the sticks and then spent new years eve with phil in fort smith & van buren.

joanna's party was fun. laid back. lots o' beer. good stories. new people! donuts in the field! i'm not much of a country girl, so it was a nice change of pace. it sucks that i'm allergic to her cats so i probably won't stay over very often, but she's moving anyway. so maybe in the future. her boyfriend/fiancee is so great! i'm very happy for them both. lucky people!

i ended up at phil's like at 1030 sat morning and we had a movie date in the afternoon and ended up at one of his friend's house in van buren by midnight. those were crazy people. two of them were drunk off their ass and talking so much bullshit. and phil's little brother was the target of one of the guy's girlfriends. we got a lot of laughs out of that. anyway...those people were really cool and they probably think i'm a stuck up bitch b/c i didn't say much. but it's hard going to some house for a major holiday celebration when you only know 1 person really well. i would have been more sociable if i was drinking. haha

phil and i talked yet again about what we were doing together. i guess everything is worked out now. i told him i'm a yes or no girl and there was no middle ground, so obviously the answer was going to be no. i live 2.5 hrs away. i'm not a computer game. we're just too different i guess. i wanted different! i guess in a different way. it was still fun nonetheless. and when he did make time for me, i felt appreciated and cared for and wanted.

i'm sad because i know i probably won't see him again for a long time, if ever. i just can't go to FS all the time and he doesn't like coming here at all, so it's almost impossible to get together.

and i was just getting to where i could sleep with him without waking up every hour. it usually takes weeks! time to start over i guess. it's always hard to stop thinking about someone you've been sleeping with.

i have to get another job too. if you know anyone that needs help after 6p, i'm available. i hate that i'm even saying that, but it's the awful truth. maybe working my ass off will contain my current infatuation with cute boys.

i'm starting 2006 depressed. it makes it easier to have a great year, right?
