Current mood: depressed
Sorry there has been no posting lately. I've just been feeling so blah. Camping was fun. I had a really good time. That's probably part of the problem now. I want to do more stuff like that, but I can't while I'm stuck at my totally sucky job working with totally stupid people. School resumes next week and I'm not even looking forward to that. I'm sure things will be fine once I get going again. I'm just having the "Am I wasting my time again?" feelings about school. It totally sucks.

I've gained about 15 lbs. in the last two months. Between depression and lack of walking at work, I guess. So, that sucks.

Anyway, we went camping at Rainbow Lakes Campground. Marcus took us on the Caribou 4x4 trail to get us there. That's where the guys from KBPI had their "mudfest" back in September 2000. I posted pics from the trip here.

Well, that's it for now. I've got to get to work. *sigh*

Since I don't know if you have changed your email settings from attbi to comcast yet and am not sure if you got my email and I know you read the ol' weblog:

Hey Dad!

Marcus and I are BBQing on the 4th and you are more than welcome to come. Unless something horrific happens on our camping trip, that is. I'll call you on Friday.

Love Your Darling Daughter,
Donna

Current mood: hot
Happy July!!

I am such a baby about being hot. I could tell it was going to be warm when I let the dog out at 6:30 this morning. Ugh! The old weather pixie down there says it 90°F now. Whoo Hoo!

I have some stuff in storage that I wanted to get for our trip. One look after I opened the door and I totally changed my mind about that. One of these days I'm going to have to go try and rearrange that thing. Today was not the day.

Well, I'm working on cleaning out my blogroll. I don't know what is more sad: that many people are no longer blogging, or it's been so long that I've gone through all my links that I didn't realize they weren't blogging. *sigh*

I posted some pictures that I took of Marcus testing out our new tent.

Ok, well, I've got to get to work so I can get to Gart's and get the stuff that I didn't have the energy to look for in storage. Ta Ta!

Wow, I actually got a Friday night off. We've been soooooo incredibly slow at work that the manager got smart and decided to let some of us drivers leave. Even though I need the money and should've stayed, I decided I'd rather socialize for once. Marcus and Mike usually game together every Friday, so I tagged along. Nina made some awesome Chicken Cordon Bleu for dinner. I swear it is the most awesome I've ever had. I need to get her to teach me how to make it one of these days. Then she and I watched "Serendipity" (w/ John Cusak) while the guys gamed. Nina has gone to bed since she has to work at 5 a.m., so I'm sitting here at Mike's iMac posting. When I'm done here, I'm going to get to work on this project. It's one of the many projects I want to decorate my craft room. This may sound stupid, but I really want my craft room to be cool. Crafting Traditions magazine has a monthly feature where they show someone's crafting space. I want to be in that magazine someday. I know, I'm a weirdo.

Have you ever noticed that some people who bid on eBay are stupid? I don't understand the ones that spend more on something than you can just buy on another website for cheaper. When I find something I want, I tend to do some comparative shopping to decide what a fair price would be. Am I the only one?

I decided I need a vacation. Not just from school, but from work, too. So, Marcus and I are going somewhere next week. I don't know where, yet, but at least we're going to do something. Camping, probably. His boss gave him Wednesday/Thursday plus he already had Friday (the 4th), so I'm a little stoked about that.

OK, off to do some stitchin'!

Man, I woke up with the WORST headache this morning. I thinks it's sinus-related. Of course, I have absolutely no decongestant in the house. I stayed in bed until almost 11 because moving made me ill. Now I have to go to work. Ick.
