i just deleted a lot of un-necessary posts. why? they were repetitive and boring and ranty and long or frivilous. it made sense at the time.
it is morning. i am drinking coffee. staring at my bowl of unfinish cheerios. thinking of finishing the last bite.
so late tonight we're heading to plano. olive will be staying home. robert is watching her. i think she likes him better. he lets her on his bed.
on saturday we're looking at places for our wedding dinner (remember- no reception- just a nice dinner). i hpe that means that we get to try a lot of food. probably not.
saturday night greg has his first band practice with the newly reformed pherigo. (is it wierd that my future last name is the name of a band- yes.)
then on sunday we're seeing the chapel we're getting married in. and asking the pastors to marry us.
i have no desire to do anything this morning other than sit here and type and drink my mediocore coffee. but unfortunately i have class at 10:00. then a 3 hour break. then french. then my second day of work.
Oh work.
ok. so yesterday was my first day at the GAP. as any of our readers might know i've had some doubts about working there. but i went in early (like 2 hours) to go look at my schedule and i was given an employee coupon for the Fall line. this made my day. it was a wicked discount. so Greg and I decided to use it to my advantage and i spent way to much money yesterday on clothes. more than i can really afford. but i also bought a baby gift and Greg a gift. and i'm really happy with my purchases. I am really happy with the employee dicounts. and there is so much more i want to buy right now but I know that i can't. like i really want to buy some of the lounge wear- before the Christmas stuff comes out. Maybe on the 15th when I get more money?
but besides the discount the actual job is ok. I have minimal retail experience so it was kinda confusing learning everything and trying to remember it. it's fairly easy though. i think it will get easier.
the downside. my feet have never hurt so horrible. and my left knee. and i was just utterly exhausted. which was wierd b/c it wasn't like i did any back-breaking work. but i kinda relate it to the first-day-of-school-exhaustion. it's just a lot.
supposedly there is 15 months and 20 days until our wedding.
when i don't count everyday in anticpation it is much easier on my mind and heart!

what is in a denomination?
i now know that tuesdays are long days. two 1.5 hours classes and a film lab (today's film had no words).
i am still hungry. i just ate some leftover soup and i've been munching on chips. in my bed. but i deserve a small rest. because soon i'll be writing a paper.
so.
greg and i spent our lunch hour talking about life after the wedding. and the possibility and the what if of doing something great.
so, some plans are being considered right now.
but that is all i am going to say.
now on a different note.
i have never realllllly identified with a certain denomination. i grew up kinda methodist. i went to methodist sunday school. then we stopped going. then i went to Grace. and i suppose up until my sophomore yr i have affiliated myself as non-denominational/pentecostal/bible church/charismatic/baptist. or whatever my old place of employment was. Probably just bible church. for awhile i was confused about what pentacostalism was and told ppl i was that (thinking Grace was that) they gave me wierd looks and while I am sure not all pentacostalism is so extremely far out- it still causes some ppl to raise their eye brows (snake charming, tongues, etc- i am still unsure about speaking in tongues).
and then came reformed calvinistic presbytarian. that is how i started my sophomore yr. i spent my time reading calvin and trying to make sense of TULIP and what it meant to me and to my friends who weren't christian and to what my professors were saying about religion.
i still don't know.
now greg and i are on a church hunt. we think we might've found a good Fort Worth church. i don't know what the denomination really is. i don't totally care. to me church is a community experience. teachings and scriptural reminders are all great but without a supportative community everything lacks. it'd be like going to another class but not knowing anyone in the class- or having them not care about you at all.
so a community of believers. and even if my denomination beliefs were different than the congregation as whole i think it might still be ok. we believe in the same basic truths. and even more- we support each other and help to lift each other up upon believing them.
so. i am excited about the possiblity of continuing at Hope Church.

monday blues
mondays haven now become yuck days to me.
i hate them. they always start out well. but don't be decieved. oh no, mondays end horribly. well, right now it is ok. but the afternoon. yuck.
so my hopes of working in the reli. dept were crushed fast. they can't afford me. not b/c i'm expensive. i just need at least 300 a month and they can't do that. so nevermind!
but i am still looking. and i will be until i find a good school-flexible job.
ALSO it was wicked hot today. and humid. this did not fair well for my hair which i didn't dry or anything today.
classes that i liked today:
church traditions- kinda- following lahutsky is kind of a like following olive when she is chasing other dogs. it is hard to do.
religion, art, and visual culture- it went by fast. that is a pro.
french- talked to my prof about HOW BAD I AM AT IT and she seemed to like the fact that i talked to her. so i guess that is good. brownie points and everything.
i just got food up at central market. big salad (salad kick!) and some soup and a sandwich for greg and sandwich for darcy, etc.
i think i am still hungry. all that walking to school!
so my car damage is estimated around 1,700. i guess that is pretty good. i take it saturday to be fixed. niiiiice.
greg and i get to go visit his friends (our friends) gary and shannon and their new daughter on wednesday.
amelia hope was born on friday! yay babies! i am psyched.
time to copy long long long boring notes.

once again i should be getting dressed. there is like 70 things i need to do this morning before I go to class.
I am proud of myself. I read a bunch of pages for school (church history) and it was all very interesting. now i actually retained that information....that's the question.
Greg and I had healthy-night last night. Which consisted of walking a lot and eating good food...kinda good food...mine was good.
I also tried to teach Olive fetch. She knows it. But not outside. She plays it inside like a champ. But not outside, no then she plays chase.
i am trying to score a job in the religion dept. like i did my freshman year. It was a decent job. I mean I am not going to be a student assistant for the rest of my life. But the religion dept is nice and cold and I know the ppl and it's close by and I like better there than at the GAP...even though I haven't start at the GAP.
speaking of jobs I need to work on my newest article for the Skiff.
and that means I need to start getting ready for school. which means I can't talk about the party. but it was a good party.

Tuesday
day two of school
only two classes. but both are 1 1/2. which is long...for me.
judaism
geography
last night Greg went to work and I was stuck here b/c i accidently left my keys in his car. well about 30 minutes later i hear something being thrown at my window.
it was greg. throwing pecans. for like 6 minutes. instead of knocking on the door!
he wasn't scheduled to work. he thought he was. he even put on the apron.
so then we went to go eat at Charly's Old Fashioned Burgers b/c I'm doing a piece about burger joints from a veg perspective. Pretty good. Then we bought black paint and started to paint the HUGE coffee table we got from my parents. But we kept getting bit by mosquitos. I had three bits on my elbow and about eight on each ankle. It sucked.
So at Greg and Robert's they have a crawlspace and it's covered by a big piece of plywood. So we decided to paint a chessboard on the plywod. Except it didn't really turn out like a real chessboard. It's 8x8 like a chess board but it's more abstract (as in the squares don't connect b/c we only have 2 brush sizes and connecting the squares would require a lot more patience and work and clean paint lines).
It looks pretty cool.
So Wednesday will be coffee table painting day.
Saturday is party day!

Done done done
all moved in. Greg is all moved in.
with the exception of most of his clothes and stuff. But for the most part everything is done and over with. Thank goodness. I have never been more sore in my life. It's from pulling up the carpet.
Over 10 hours we spent pulling little nails and tacks out of the floors and dusting and polishing and cleaning and scrubbing....but it's done. And it looks ok.
Yesterday we moved all of Robert's books in...and his 4 bookshelves! He has his books organized by Fiction, non-fiction, anthologies, and poetry/drama. That was probably the most fun of yesterday. Organizing the books.
They need rugs. Rugs for the parts of the floor that is yucky. I think we're putting up art work tonight. Maaaaaaybe.
Olive loves her backyard! That is probably my favourite part of the house. It's huge. Her favourite thing is the chase the water from the gardening hose. It's the best thing I have ever ever seen. She's turned more solemn and less anxious now that's she's spent most of her time outside. We hose her off about every hour so she can stay cool.
We bought her one of those inflatable kiddie pools (there are no plastic ones in FTW it seems!) so I guess we're blowing that up later.
Party next weeked. Yay.

i used to be a coffee addict
it's true. i used to guzzle down cups and cups of coffee a day. like 6 or something. or more. and then i discovered espesso and would drink 6-9-12 shots of that stuff a day on top of like 4 cups of coffee. supposedly coffee has more caffiene but espresso tastes much better.
i don't know how i got down to where i am now.
most days i drink 1/2 of a cup. sometimes 2 cups. if i'm at starbucks in the morning that's when i'll do the triple tall americano. or an iced triple tall soy latte. but most mornings it's about a 1/2 cup of coffee.
i think i cut back this past spring. i guess the novelty of coffee has worn it's self out. i'm still devoted...i'm no coke drinker! but i am not frantically searching caffiene to make me awake.
but i bet this will all change when school starts and suddenly my 10:00 class feels like it's 7:00 in the morning and i need 4 cups of coffee and a red bull just to stay functioning....
who knows? but i am proud that i don't drink so much coffee these days. coffee is supposed to be good for you, so that's good. and i am grouchy when i don't have it at all...srsly you don't want to be around me. but i know i can kick the caffiene! way to go me.
on that note of encouragement this morning Greg and I are going to church. yup. we've decided to try Hope Church where some of his friends go. It's like right next to the dog park.
i feel like we've tried every church in FTW and none of them really seem to fit. maybe we go in expecting to much or too cynical or too something.... i really want us to find a church. Probably almost as much as I want us to get married NOW!
we're also driving to Dallas tonight. We're eating at a restaurant that might be our reception dinner restaurant and Greg is going to songwrite/play with his friends Jimmy and John. Which reminds me that I need to go the libraray and get a good book to read so I will have something to do.
good books are hard to find.

Chef Love, 4 hrz, and DONE
oooh oooh Greg is making eggs right now. Hooray for me. He's a good egg maker.
What a day!
Ok so Greg got a catscan today but the docters messed up and didn't tell him he couldn't eat or drink anything (he had coffee for breakfast). So greg had to drink some wierdy stuff. And then they messed up again and realized that they were sched. to scan the wrong area. So greg had to drink more stuff, except this stuff was iodine. And he had to wait 2 hrs.
I was taking my finals and when I finished I rushed to go sit with him. I think he was there for like 4 hours. On an empty stomach.
When he was finally done we went to the Love Shack, a hamburger place, so he could get some food!
Now I had some pretty high expectations for the Love Shack. Greg and I have a favourite chef. Chef Tim Love. He is our favourite b/c we saw him on Iron Chef and he has like three restaurants in FTW. Local Food Network celeb! So we went to his newest restaurant (Love Shack) and it truly is a shack...it's like a restaurant within two walls and no ceiling! Greg rated the burger as #1 our of Dutchs, Pappas, and Tommys. I give it a 5 for creativity and a good burger. But ultimatley I was disappointed.
BUT GET THIS! WE SAW CHEF LOVE! That is the first celebrity I have ever seen!!!! YAY!
We then took naps and ate dinner and took Olive to the dog park, etc.
I am officially done at UTA!!!

forget it! plans are in the making!!

movies, music, and booze
ok. it is almost 11:00. my housemates are having a party. i am not opposed to parties or them having one.
(they aren't really my housemates, i live in a garage apt in the back, we share a backyard and a washer and dryer. i don't even get to use the driveway!!!)
but bad reggea/hip hop/rap music? come on! i think sean paul was just playing. srsly!!
but then again i probably would have the worst party music ever...
some horrible pop/electronic/experimental stuff blasting from my macbook.
greg and i had a "date night" tonight. but it wasn't really. we were both incredibly stuffed from lunch so we decided to do take out from the Olive Garden and watch 300. which strangely i am way more into than greg. we didn't finish it b/c we had made plans to go see "chuck and larry" at the theatres.
(before we saw 300 we took olive to the dog park. she was fantastic and lovely and amazing and a great dog!!!)
so we went to the movie theatre and it was packed. from that moment greg and i made a vow that unless it was movie that we truly cared about we would not see a movie on the weekend.
of course our movie was basically sold out and people were all sitting with a seat btwn them and just kind of stared at us dumbly as we were scanning for seats. lame. finally a couple moved over and we were grateful but they seemed to put out to notice.
movie pet peeve 1: people who talk at regular volume in the movies. a lot of the time ppl do this during a loud part in the movie thinking it's ok and no one can hear them. they're dumb for thinking that. it's annoying.
movie pet peeve 2: cell phone lights. get off your phone. you can wait two hours to see what your friend texted you about her boyfriend's sister.
movie pet peeve 3: people who TALK on their cell phones during movies. this happened THREE times tonight. all by people who sat next to us. i think the people who moved for us had some type of something going on b/c they left early but STILL.
now for the booze part.
i don't really have a lot to say on this subject but lately i've been thinking about drunkeness and being drunk.
i don't know why people think it is cool to be drunk. i mean it kind of gives you this boast of confidence that let's all of your walls down. you kind of feel invincible and at the top of the world. but then you crash. or you drink more and you regret it horribly.
greg and i made a pact that we would never have more than one drink w/o the other there.
i added a clause today that said "if the drinking was spaced out as in: a mimosa in the morning and a glass of wine at night, it would be ok.
too much can happen off of a drink.
i am not so high and mighty that i have never had a drink in my life...or several.
but when i really think about it. the lack of authenticity that alcohol brings is nothing really to be proud of.
i remember being so appalled when i first came to TCU b/c of how much the campus promoted alcohol (not really the campus, like the dean, but the students, etc). it was just everywhere. it's hard to not get sucked into.
i guess it is just scary how something can change a person.
for better or worse.
now off to bed. i am going to stop being a slacker and acutally study tomorrow.
or that's the plan...

but bad reggea/hip hop/rap music? come on! i think sean paul was just playing. srsly!!
but then again i probably would have the worst party music ever...
some horrible pop/electronic/experimental stuff blasting from my macbook.
greg and i had a "date night" tonight. but it wasn't really. we were both incredibly stuffed from lunch so we decided to do take out from the Olive Garden and watch 300. which strangely i am way more into than greg. we didn't finish it b/c we had made plans to go see "chuck and larry" at the theatres.
(before we saw 300 we took olive to the dog park. she was fantastic and lovely and amazing and a great dog!!!)
so we went to the movie theatre and it was packed. from that moment greg and i made a vow that unless it was movie that we truly cared about we would not see a movie on the weekend.
of course our movie was basically sold out and people were all sitting with a seat btwn them and just kind of stared at us dumbly as we were scanning for seats. lame. finally a couple moved over and we were grateful but they seemed to put out to notice.
movie pet peeve 1: people who talk at regular volume in the movies. a lot of the time ppl do this during a loud part in the movie thinking it's ok and no one can hear them. they're dumb for thinking that. it's annoying.
movie pet peeve 2: cell phone lights. get off your phone. you can wait two hours to see what your friend texted you about her boyfriend's sister.
movie pet peeve 3: people who TALK on their cell phones during movies. this happened THREE times tonight. all by people who sat next to us. i think the people who moved for us had some type of something going on b/c they left early but STILL.
now for the booze part.
i don't really have a lot to say on this subject but lately i've been thinking about drunkeness and being drunk.
i don't know why people think it is cool to be drunk. i mean it kind of gives you this boast of confidence that let's all of your walls down. you kind of feel invincible and at the top of the world. but then you crash. or you drink more and you regret it horribly.
greg and i made a pact that we would never have more than one drink w/o the other there.
i added a clause today that said "if the drinking was spaced out as in: a mimosa in the morning and a glass of wine at night, it would be ok.
too much can happen off of a drink.
i am not so high and mighty that i have never had a drink in my life...or several.
but when i really think about it. the lack of authenticity that alcohol brings is nothing really to be proud of.
i remember being so appalled when i first came to TCU b/c of how much the campus promoted alcohol (not really the campus, like the dean, but the students, etc). it was just everywhere. it's hard to not get sucked into.
i guess it is just scary how something can change a person.
for better or worse.
now off to bed. i am going to stop being a slacker and acutally study tomorrow.
or that's the plan...
2.8.07
scone- basically rhymes with taunts (or so the british say)
this is the last day of summer school.
correction. last day before finals. i will have my finals next tuesday.
i am excited. today for english history class we are bringing breakfast. last night i made scones and clotted cream. i hope they are still good. last night i was fairly impressed. i am not a baker. i've always wanted to be. i think i'd really love baking. but i am not a baker....
i did get to whip cream last night. that was great.
it was also Top Chef night. which meant at 9:00 Greg and I settled down and watched our current favourite t.v. show.
and it was nap night. that meant we took a nap!!!
i have a test today. so i should study RIGHT NOW.
my friend Tony got promoted as a manager for the store he works for. except he's a manager in Arlington now!!! Arlington is like 20 minutes away from FTW (30 on bad days) and that means he could move closer! right now he's commutng from The Colony which is like 45-an hour away...gross. although Tony is a fast driver. But I'm proud of him.
It's been raining the past few days...I like the temperature and even then mood that rain brings. But for poor Olive it means she's cooped up in the apt b/c the Dog Park is a swamp and there are soooo many puddles on the street. Less than 2 weeks until Greg moves!!!!!
Speaking of Olive she has taken to eating tons of plastic. Which I just read that when she chews on things like plastic it's a way for her to get her new teeth in firmly (or something like that) But still...she doesn't have to swallow it!!!
I'm a little worried.... I mean she could really be hurt by it....
Oh. I have an interview at the Gap next Wednesday. YAY.
