Damn that Connie Chung!

SHE'S SERIOUSLY SCREWING AROUND WITH MY HEAD.... SHE'S A FREAKING ENIGMA...

So, if anyone is wondering why all my post are posted by "boo" its because that is my nickname. My dad gave it too me when I was really little. At first is was Boo Boo Bear, then it shortened to Boo Bear, now its just Boo. So for anyone who was confused, there ya go. Hmmmm, Cubbies lost today, it sucked. Hawkins gave up a homerun in the 9th to lose it for us. BUT, the Cards got swept by the pirates so there is an upside. Brandon called today. He's doing really well. He'll be back August 5th officially. Im probably going to be going to get him at the airport. I told him I would if there was a Cubs game, but they're away at Colorado at that point...but who am I kidding, Ill go anyway. I love Chicago. I will use any excuse to get up there. Its JULY!! holy crap. That is crazy. I thought this summer would pass slowly with the B-dog being gone, but its going by so damn quickly. Next thing you know it will be October and the Cubs will be winning the World Series! I hung out at Lindsays new house tonight. Its wierd. It feels like Im just chillin in someones new apartment or something but no, ITS THEIR FREAKING HOUSE! That they BOUGHT. Strange. What else? I sent Brandon his wallet, so all you kids that had embarrassing pictures in there, they are officially on their way! Dont worry, I had some funny pictures myself in there. I work tomorrow night. That Im sure will suck. I need a new job hardcore. I want to cocktail again so much. I really miss it. Its so much more laid back and easier than food service. I applied at the Brewhaus, and Im going in to Floyds tomorrow. I already got hired at Floyds once awhile ago, so hopefully he'll have something open... Ohh! I wrote a letter to Pvt. Camilo Mejia the other day. He's a soldier who went to Iraq then came back, then got called up again, and he refused to go. They sentenced him to a year in jail for desertion. So I decided to write him a letter and tell him I supported him and whatnot. Im might be going to the RNC protest in August. I think CodePink is going and might be having a carpool near here. So that would be sweet....Well, thats really about it for now. Brandon's going on a trip this weekend, so if anyone was gonna call him, you'll have to wait till Tuesday. Hugs and Kisses to everyone! Love you all!! Estoy enamorado con tu!!

So that last blog screwed up and posted today when I actually wrote it like 4 days ago or something...so if the date seems screwed thats why. Hmmm, whats going on. I went and saw the new Michael Moore film. Farenheit 9/11... it was pretty damn good. Me and Spence and Kristina went and saw it together. It made me cry like a little baby, but his movies usually do. He really appealed to the emotional side of the subject, which is good for showing it to the masses of people, but I personally would have like to hear more facts in the movie. Oh well, I think it will get to a lot of people and thats good. Maybe they'll think twice about voting for good ol' George W. this time around. So I got ungodly drunk on Friday night. I went to the Brewhaus with spence and Kristina, and met up with Chad and his friend Matt there. We ended up at the bottom of the hilton and I was somewhat in a bad mood and decided (stupidly) that I was going to drink it away. I havent been that drunk in awhile. I made it through the night though, Spence made me sit at my car with him for an hour before I could drive home, Thanks Spence! It was fun. Me and Spence and Nicole and Chad and Matt and a whole bunch of hippies were there. Hippies are so funny. Hmmm, not much else is going on. I work all the time, it sucks, but I need the money. I want to get back into cocktailing soon. Im a damn good waitress when it comes to working at a bar, and I made a shitload of money.. and Browns isnt even that busy of a bar, so if I went somewhere more popular I think I could make hella cash. I cant freaking believe its June 27th. This summer is going by so incredibly fast. Summers always do, its the baseball season and I dont want it to end, and so time speeds up just to piss me the hell off. Grrrr. Um, B-dog, if youre readin this, I wanted to tell you that I cant send your wallet right away, Im gonna have to use the post office cuz fed ex is gonna charge me $56 to freaking send it. And I cant get the hook up like I thought I could. So it may be awhile before you get it. You'll love it, some of the pictures are freaking hilarious! Life is going pretty well. Its kinda strange how you can feel yourself becoming a different person. Ive talked about how I needed to change before, but just the other night while I was out did I actually kinda feel like a different person. Im more confindent in myself, Im making new friends, and Im pretty much having a good time all the time. Only certain things get me down, like when I see people that I dont wanna see, or when I think about Brandon being in Bogota, but other than that, Im pretty much a generally happy person now. Much different than the Lauren of last year. And let me tell you what, it feels pretty damn good and I dont think I ever wanna go back. Ill be going to UIS next semester. 2 classes there, 3 at LLCC. Im just ready to be done with this point of my life. The Im a college kid who goes out and gets drunk and gets laid stage. Im done!! And anyone who is still in that stage I suggest going on because it is a much happier point. At least for me that is. Hmmmm, I think thats really about it. Im probably gonna end up at the Brewhaus tonight. Eric is back from vacation today and Im sure he'll be calling to hang out at the bar and talk baseball.... I love being the cool girl who can keep up with the boys when it comes to sports. The guy Matt that was hanging out with Chad on Friday actually decided to give me a test on the Cubs... he said that the girls he meets who say they like the Cubs cant even usually tell him the starting line up let alone any details... so I passed with flying colors, and he said Im the first girl to do it. Little things like that make me happy. GO CUBBIES!!! Well, I guess that is it. Brandon, Im gonna try and call you tomorrow night to see how youre doing, so if you read this before then expect my call!! Love you all and focus all your positive energy on the cubbies winning today ok?! Gracias!!! Have a wonderful evening!!

So, I was on the news tonight. Did anyone see me? I got off of work downtown today and decided to sit at Andiamo with my friend Chris. As were sitting there some news channel 20 lady came over to us and asked us to look at a truck that was driving by. It was a huge Uhaul looking thing, it had a picture of a 10 week old aborted fetus on the side. It was fucking horrible.... Im pro-choice, Ive always been pro-choice. Ive been out to protests and what not, but never have I done anything that fucking ridiculous. I respect others opinions, and I would never attack anyone for their personal views, but to drive a fucking truck around downtown for 2 hours with a huge fetus on the side is just idiotic. Who the hell do these people think they are? Its like the fucking pro-lifers sitting outside the clinics screaming nasty things at the girls going in. Have you ever been in the position of being a 16 year old who got pregnant? Probably fucking not. So who are you to judge? I dont suggest that girls just go out and get abortions with out seriously considering the options, but they should be allowed the choice. Little kids were looking at that truck, I was trying to eat lunch... Ahhhhhh!! It infuriates me! People can be so ignorant. So, since I started this off with a somewhat social topic feel, I guess Ill move on the the new Michael Moore movie. It comes out this Friday, Im so excited. I usually love his stuff. His books are amazing and amazingly funny and I suggest everyone who reads this to pick one up, or just let me know an Ill let you borrow my copies. George W. Bush is a giant asshole. More people need to realize this. The Iraqi freedom bullshit was just that, bullshit. Now that I think about it, I was on the news around this time last year..me spence and brandon went to an anti-war protest and News channel 20 put me on the news that time also. What the hell is it that people wanna put me on the damn news? Anyway, his new movie is all about 9/11. The WTC bombing sucked, I know, many innocent people lost their lives. I feel for their families, but where the hell do we get this "we have to blow them out of the water" mentality? It wasnt even Iraq that bombed us! Why do most people make that freakin conection? And anyways, we have had sanctions on Iraq since the Gulf War that have been killing 5000 children a month for over 5 years now. Thats a lot of fucking kids. Of course they are going to hate us. I hate us for doing it. People just need to educate themselves a little more. Tom Brokaw is not the end all know all guy in this situation. Do some research on your own and you will find a lot of stuff you never would have thought went on. So, Ill be at the new Michael Moore movie this weekend! Hmmm, what else? HOLY SHIT!!! The cubs game last night was amazing. Me and Lindz and Kristina went... I got a whole bunch of shit being a girl in a short skirt and Sammy Sosa shirt at Busch stadium, but it was well worth it watching the Cubs beat the holy hell outta the cardinals!! I hate Busch stadium. The people there dont know shit about baseball and just go there to get drunk and be freaking rude and vulgar. Maybe thats just to us since we were 3 girls by ourselves, but I DID NOT need to see a fucking Cardinal fan pretend to wack off in front of me. Sick son of a bitch. But, we beat their asses so good for us! I went to the brewhaus on monday. I hung out with Eric, Chad, Matt Natalie (?I dont know how to spell his last name), and some other guy... talking baseball of course. Im at the happiest point in my year right now, the race for 1st place is starting to heat up! Woo Hoo! We're only one game out! How great a feeling!! I live for baseball! Ummm, I went and saw saved! over the weekend. It was pretty funny, but it still held a "God does exist and loves everyone" plot at the end. That I was disappointed in. I know its pretty stupid for me to think that a mainsteam film would have an atheist outlook, but I thought this one would. Oh well.. It still made fun of people who believe in God and are all hardcore about it. I think thats about it for this one. Sorry it was so long, but a lot of issues were weighing on my mind obviously. I hope everyone is doing alright. I talked to Brandon not too long ago, he got a purple jacket! (By the way Brandon, Im still making fun of you for that!!) He's doing well. I love you all and have a wonderful Wednesday evening! Im gonna watch the game now!! GO CUBBIES!!!

Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there. Im sitting at Kinkos, I have to head home to eat dinner with the family here in a bit. My niece is gonna be over. She's the coolest 2 year old that I know. She's really freaking smart. I dont remember kids being that smart that little. She's known Brandon for 2 years... And its not like he's been around her a whole lot or anything. He's probably seen her 15-20 times over the last two years. BUT, whenever that little stink pot see's me its always "wheres brandon?" She drew him a picture the other week to send to him in Bogota. Its the weirdest thing... she's freaking cute. I love her to death and she's my favorite person in the world!! The cubbies won yesterday in the bottom of the 9th inning. GREAT GAME!!! I love games like that. The "sitting on the edge of your seat" games. Walker slid head first into home to score the winning run! AMAZING!! Hmmm, what else. I went to the Brewhaus prom last night. Me and Kristina and Spence and Gus went together. It was a ton of fun. I got pretty well tipsy. I met a fellow cubs fan..his name is Eric. We sat around and talked baseball for awhile. He's a nice guy. Chris and his new boy Eric showed up too. Different Eric by the way. So Chris's Eric looks exactly like Superman. Its uncanny!! He even has the black rimmed glasses. I just expected him to jump into a phone booth and come out in blue tights and red underwear. People are starting to take off work on July 25th.. My party on July 24th is slowly getting underway. I cant wait!! Its gonna be so much fun. Ive decided that I wish I lived in the 1950's. Ive been flipping out my hair and wearing polka dot scarves in it... and Ive been wearing my glasses. It kinda looks like I jumped straight out that decade. Its just a cute look... Im constantly changing the way I dress. Im such a fashion whore. I love clothes and being different and experimenting. If I didnt love sports so much, Id definitely be going into fashion. Well then, I guess thats it for now. Im supposed to go out with Lindz tonight, Im sure we'll be at the Brewhaus again. And that Eric guys is supposed to call maybe and he'll meet us all there or something. Should be another fun night. Life rules right now. Love all of you so much and Im glad each and every one of you is in my life... You all have made me who I am and have been there for me when I needed you. Muchas Gracias!! Estoy enamorado con tu!!

Chicago Chicago Chicago Cubs, Chicago Chicago Chicago Cubs! Its the themes song to Pat and Rons broadcasts... Stuck in my head... Not a bad song to have stuck though! Im sitting at Spence's watching the game against Oakland. First time they've played at Wrigley in over 60 years... Wish I was there. I went last year to a Cubs/Yankees game with Brandon. It was the best game Ive ever been too. Kerry Wood against Roger Clemens. And we won!! I wish I could go back and watch it again. Sammy Sosa is back in the line up! Slowly but surely were getting our varsity team back on the field! HA! Umm, well its Friday, I have to be into work in a couple hours. Gonna go serve up some more fondue. Ive noticed lately that my life is beginning to revolve around avoiding the male species. I go places during the day and see boys that I absolutely DO NOT want to see and have to dodge and hide to get away from them. It sucks. I kinda wanna rewind the last year and a half and stay the hell away from boys in general. It would have made my life now a whole lot easier... Oh well, I freakin made my own bed I guess. Hmmm, nothing else much going on. My parents are gonna be outta town for a month at the end of July. I plan on having a party the day they leave, and also a huge welcome home thing for Brandon when he gets back. Its out in the country and we have a bonfire pit and we can drink and get as loud as we want. I hope it will actually happen and all my friends who happen to read this will come!!! Sooo, anyhoo. I need to go, the A's just scored off a solo home run and my legs are beginning to shake since Im not.... Ramirez just made an AMAZING play!! WOO HOO!! well my legs are beginning to shake since Im not paying enough attention to the game. I love you all and will talk to you soon! I miss you B-dog!! Stay safe and come home in one piece for us OK?

So everything is going ok... My new job is pretty fun. Lot of freaking work though. Im there 6 days a week. The Cubbies are on a roll, but unfortunately so are the flipping cardinals.... I hate them. I hope they all die from prostate cancer. Especially Jim Edmonds. Ummmm, what else? Brandon called the other day while I was at work so I called him back later. He's doing well... I wonder if he's gonna stay over there? If he's happy then thats cool. Id miss him something fierce... Ummmm, Im going to Brewhaus prom on Saturday hopefully. Im hopefully going to Vegas on July 29th also... I have to be in court on July 28th, but that shouldnt take more than an hour or so and Ill be free to get the HELL OUT OF SPRINGFIELD!!!!! WOO HOO!!!! Hopefully Ill be able to make it to South America also. Brandon is going to Venezuela and said I could meet him there or something. That would be fun, but I dont really know about taking so much time off of work. Cuz Ive got Vegas, Weddings, Baseball games... too much too little time I tell you!!! Hmmmm, not much else is going on. Im sitting here at Spencers with David. Watching the best show ever, The Family Guy. Sooo, Im gonna run so I can actually watch it instead of just listen to David laugh.... Talk to you all soon! Love you guys!! Hi Brandon!!

Thursday, June 10, 2004

Well holy shit... Lauren is once again employed! Woo Hoo!! Say hello to the newest server/cashier at Z Bistro. MONEY!!! Im so excited. Its a lot fancier than any other place Ive worked, but the money should be pretty amazing. I start tomorrow at 4:30. Im absolutely ready to jump back into working. Its so damn boring not having a job. I go out, but I cant really do much considering the no cash flow. So, once again, Woo Hoo!! Hmmm, what else? Karen is back in town!! I havent seen her since she left for Florida. EVERYONE went to the brewhaus last night for her welcome home party. It was a blast as always. After the brewhaus me and chad and aaron and karen hit up a couple 3 am bars... we had a good time... Chad dragged us to the Lace. I actually admit it though, it wasnt that bad of a time. I absolutely love to dance. Maybe cause its one thing I do that I actually think Im good at it and I actually think I look good doing it. Huh, who knows. There were a few guys there that I didnt exactly want to see. Some guys from my past that Id much rather forget. Besides that fact though, it was a pretty good time. Me and chad danced for an hour to everything from price's "pussy control" to some damn country songs... I LOVE TO DANCE!!! It was nice seeing the old crew back together again, well minus the B-dog of course. I cant even remember the last time we were all together like that. Probably at least 3 years ago.... back in the days of New St. (Brandon and Dave and Mikes apartment) We all used to go over there and get into water gun fights, shoot bb guns, watch Dr. Jones drink himself into an amazing stuper and pass out on the floor then promptly build a beer shrine around his limp body. HA! Or like I mentioned earlier in these blog things, we all used to go to Carpenters park in the middle of the night and cause trouble and run off in pair and "hook up" and run through the sprinklers topless... Ohhh, what fun. Anyway, I guess thats all I really have to say right now... I talked to Brandon a couple days ago, he's doing fine... and did I mention? I HAVE A JOB!!!! Woo Hoo!!! Love you all....

Doom do doom doom doom!! Its the doom song from Invader Zim... Ive had it stuck in my head ever since Gus brought over the DVD's to spence's house a couple days ago. Went to the Brewhaus with the crew again last night. Ended up talking baseball with Dave and Aaron for about an hour. I love baseball. Nothing makes me happier than sitting around a table full of guys and talking about ball. And I say guys due to the fact that most girls could really give a rats ass about the actual game. Most are just bandwagon fans whose friends are into it then decide they're gonna be into it too...If you sat down and tried to have an actual converstation with stats and what not, they would have no freaking clue what to say. BUT, guys is a different story. I can sit and argue numbers with them all night!! Mark Prior came back on Friday...seriously, I cried. He threw an amazing game!! 6 shutout innings, 2 hits, no walks, and 7 strikeouts! If you didnt watch it, you missed out. His curveball was so on the nose it hurt to even watch it! Of course, our bullpen came in and blew it, but Mark was near perfect. Great day for a Cubbies fan!! Not much else going on. Faxed some more resumes today... got an email from the B-dog. He's made a friend named Laurie. They went out to the bars the last couple nights. Brandon went dancing. Now, Ive been dancing with Brandon before, and boy is it a funny visual! Lets think, my brother lost his job today. Which really really sucks. His wife only has a part-time job, and he's only 21 and he has a 2 1/2 year old daughter. Tough. I can't even imagine it... My mom and I painted my room today, Its blue... I love it. It's of course gonna be completely Hello Kitty and Cubbies. Woo hoo! Its gonna be like a 10 year old with a sexual identity crisis. HA!! So, thats about it. Hopefully Ill have an interview tomorrow and hopefully I'll get to talk to Brandon and hopefully my brother will find a job and hopefully the Cubbies will beat the living fuck out of the Cardinals!!!Talk to you kids later!!! Its never too late!!!

Friday, June 04, 2004

Blahblahblah, another pretty boring day. Went out and applied a few new places today. Ive got to get a damn job!! If I'm ever going to be able to afford going down to Bogota, Ive got to get a job ASAP. My friend Aaron is letting me crash at his house in Champaign so I can try to get a job down there at a bar. Id make hella more cash and just commute every weekend or something. I could have the money to go to South America in no time!! You guys all just think positive thoughts ok? Hung out with Aaron, Johnny, Chad, Gus and Dave C. tonight at the brewhaus for a bit. It was a good time. I love those guys to death. They are always a blast. My friend Chris's wedding shower is tomorrow. CRAZY. It's like my other little brother is getting married I tell you! So, that should be interesting... Let's see, what else is going on in my little world. Lindz and Dave got a house! WOO HOO! They close on it the end of this month. Its very cute... those two are so damn grown up. I talked to Brandon again yesterday. He's still doing extremely well. His classes are going great. We worked out a bit of shit we needed to work out... we're getting really good at this whole honesty thing. Who woulda thought the honesty tactic could ever work for me and Brandon? But low and behold it is! It took like 5 minutes of talk and we were AOK again! I hope this talking things out like adults thing sticks. He went out drinking tonight with Pedro. I wish I was there. It sounds so great down there. Although, Brandon told me that when I come down there I cant wear any of my "hot boob shirts" and shouldnt even really talk to the locals since Im an American girl. Apparently they would jump my bones or something. Crazy, I cant imagine it. When a guy meets a girl for the first time there, he kisses her on the cheek. So I asked him, "so when I come down there Im gonna have all your guy friends kissing all up on me?" and he goes "yup!" Should be an interesting experience. I miss him something fierce. Im glad he's doing so well though. I knew he would. I told him he's so much stronger than me and would do really well in that situation. And he is. I cant think about being away from my friends. I depend on them for every single ounce of my being. They mean the world to me. He's thriving down there though. He's slowly figuring things out and becoming the person he wants to. And the person Brandon wants to be is the most amazing person I think I'll ever meet. Before he left we talked on the phone for hours about how if he became the person he wanted to, and I became the person I wanted to, we would be perfect together. I hope that's what happens. He's holding up his end of the bargain, I hope I can keep up with mine. Huh, a sports broadcaster and a professor. Pretty good combo. He even talked about maybe working as a foreign sports broadcaster. He says that would be a dream job for him. Covering baseball games in Spanish... HA, maybe we'll work together at WGN or ESPN. Weird. So, on more semester at LLCC, then on to UIS probably, OR Columbia up in Chi-town if I can afford it. Then my internship at either WGN or ESPN.. then Im thrust out into the real world. Scary. Im not quite ready to be an adult yet, but adulthood is sucking me in. Me and Brandon's relationship is heading towards the next level, my career is heading towards the next level, I guess I should get my ass up to the next level. Everyone is growing up. I still remember the days when we would all hang out at Perkins till 2 am and then go to carpenters park till the wee hours of the morning just fooling around. I miss those days. No cares, no worries. The good ol' days. There, you know Im getting old when I say things like that. Anyhoo, I guess I'll end this huge long boring thing. Everything is going great! Everyone is doing great! Im doing great, Brandons doing great, the rest of the crew are doing great. Its a good time to be me at this point! (well besides the unemployment!) Love you all, nitey nite!!!

Sleepwalking through the all night drug store
Baptized in fluorescent lights
I found religion in the greeting card isle
Now I know hallmark was right
Every pop song on the radio
Is suddenly speaking to me
Art may imitate life
But life imitates TV
Cause you've been gone exactly two weeks
Two weeks and three days
And things look different now
Different in so many ways
Cause I used to be a superhero
No one could touch me, no not even myself
And you were like a phone booth that I somehow stumbled into
Now look at me
I am just like everybody else
I am just like everybody else

So, I have a question... Here's the deal Brandon: 3 (or 4 maybe) Lauren: 6
Does it matter to guys when their girl has had a bit more "experience" then they have? Those are the number of people that Brandon and I have hooked up with in the last 3 months or so. 6 guys in three months seems like a lot... but if you think about it its only 2 guys per month as opposed to Brandons 1 per month.. not much of a difference. And besides, Im not ashamed of it! Im a girl who has needs just like every other human being on the planet. Its what I chose at that time. I wasnt looking for a relationship, just wanted to have a good time and thats what I got. I was ALWAYS safe, and knew exactly what I was getting myself into. So what the hell is so wrong with that? Ive noticed some guys can have a slight complex about that. Which I guess I can understand, knowing Brandon has had one girl a month for the past 3 months is kinda creepy to me, so I can only imagine what he's thinking about me.. Do you guys get intimidated? Its just sex and sexual relations... it only matters to me when Im with a guy I truly care about.. Im guessing it's the same for you boys out there. I was just curious if the ratio of the last few months for me and Brandon would end up getting in the way down the road if we decide to be together. I just don't want it to create a problem... 3 months ... 3 to 6 ....pretty good odds if you were betting, but relationshipwise, who knows...

So, Ive talked to Brandon three times now that he's been in Colombia. We talked for 35 minutes last time, what a freaking phone bill! Good thing Im not the one paying for it! HA! It was a good conversation though. We both know that we've been with a few people (me more so than him) over the last few months, but that we can both put that behind us if we decide to get together. As he said, "it doesnt matter". And thats true. As long as we're both loyal when were actually in a relationship, what should it matter what and who we have done while were NOT together? I just hope that this trip helps him find what he says he needs, and I hope that while he's gone I can find what I need. People are saying that Brandon left to get over me. I understand if that is what he told them, but I also hope they understand that is not what he's telling me. And as always, even though he's fooled me before, I believe him. I dont like to go on hearsay. I was with him the night before he left, and he genuinely sounded like he meant what he was saying. We made love, and I mean, not like just fucking like we had been the week before, we made actual love. You know what I mean? It was nice..He held my hand while we were out walking the streets of Chi-town. He hugged me goodbye at the gate and said "I love you". Its hard not to believe those things. You all must think Im an idiot. I guess you could be right, but for now, Im happy. Im happy to talk to him for 35 minutes. I happy to be making plans with him for me to fly down there in July. We're gonna go to the San Andreas Islands. Can you imagine?? How beautiful it must be down there. He says Ill love it. I want to meet his family and his friends... overall I guess I just want to see him before Aug. 4th. Its so complicated. Me and him are complicated. We'll never be your average couple. And I dont think thats such a bad thing. We've been "apart" for quite some time now, but its strange how you can continue to love some one even though youre not together. He says he's never stopped loving me and I guess Im the same way. Maybe this trip is just what the two of us need. He told me when he went to Nicaragua that while he was down there it hit him so hard that he still loved me. I never would have believed that "if you love some one let them go" crap, but it seems painfully true right now. Who knows, well, I just wanted to continue on this truthful road and let you people in on a little tiny sliver of the relationship of "Lauren & Brandon". Its a never ending saga I tell you! I love him to death and from what he tells me he feels the same. ARRRRGGHHH, I guess I should stop talking about him before it makes me cry... Lets see, nothing on the job front so far. Broke as a joke. I put in a few applications last week though, so hopefully some one will call. Ive got to save up like $500 more dollars for this bogota trip. My parents are helping out with a butt load of it thank baby jebus. And Ive gotta get it by the end of July. YIKES!! It'll work itself out Im sure. Everyone is doing pretty well. Kristina got her old job back at the java! So hopefully that will help her with some of her mounting exspenses. Spence is still good ol spence. Dave moved back in with the fam till the wedding. Chris is still at the apt... Im actually over there right now, we're having a slumber party! Woo hoo! girls night!! Lindz has a lot on her plate right now, but she's one of the strongest people I know so she'll pull through. Anyhoo, this is rediculously long. I guess with this whole honesty thing Ive got a lot more to say on here. JEEZ. If anyone cares Ill keep you up on the B-Dog info...Ill be talking to him again very soon Im sure. Probably tomorrow or the next day. Anyway, love you all and sleep tight!
