Lazy Sunday

So, I got out of the shower last night and I had a cold. It was the weirdest thing. One minute I was fine the next I literally had to have a kleenex under my nose 24/7. Anyway, so today I'm feeling a lot better, perhaps it will dissappear as soon as it came on. I am currently sitting outside under my portico to avoid the stench that is eminating from my house. Apparently we're having plumbing problems. Everything works fine but an exremely unpleasent odor is permeating the house. My roomate things it might have something to do with septic tank. Joy. I also have to be sparing in my trips back and forth to the house because a lizard has decided to take up residence under our doormatt. Being still slightly ill I don't have the energy to catch him but at the same time I don't want him to scurry into the house when I open the door so I'm doing things very slowly. That's the news from here. I'm wondering what all my non-claremont area friends are up to. How is Atlanta and the Phillipines, for example?

Midnight train to Georgia

hey all,

As some of you might know I was negotiating a position in Atlanta, of which I will Officially accept tomorrow. yeah :)...I will be working at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the Division of Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention...I'll be working as a public health analyst, but my position is conducting technical assistance/evaluation capacity building/ training etc...SO yeah, I'm on a midnight train to Georgia...(sing with me).....Actually, I'm getting ready to pack my car back up and drive across country (fun times:/). [thank god I never unpacked that stuff I picked up from your house Pam!]....This is surely a transition I wasn't expecting... so keep me in your prayers as I prepare to quit my current job and transition into a new position...So, what does this mean for you? it means you need to start planning a trip to ATL soon....I'll be starting the new J.O.B oct. 1st....I miss you now, but will miss you even more when I'm on the other side of the country.....(I'm excited about picking up my southern accent again!)....Talk to Ya'll later!

Love Always,

RIL

GREAT to be home!

its amazing how much you start to STRONGLY dislike your family after you've been with them for 9 days straight. =P As much as i LOVE my mother, (and for those of you that have met my mother, she is AWESOME) she is still a psycho bitch. her latest drama session was that i left my pillow in her bedroom on accident. GOOD freakin times. =P so to say the least, i do not envy jen on her three week adventure with family.

on another note, i heard you guys played phase 10 AND catchphrase last week. SO jealous! i am so there next game night. okay maybe not next game night because i won't be there this thursday for jessica's housewarming. =( sorry, i'm vegas bound tonight.

hope everyone survived the summer and this damn weather. miss you all!

I'm off!

So. Here I am, just a few hours away from my flight to Oregon... And about 24 hours away from my flight to the Philippines. I'm pretty excited to be travelling again, but I'm worried that the 3 weeks abroad might wear on me. You all know how I handle heat! (Er, rather, how I CAN'T handle heat!) And I'm worried that spending all of that time with my family will also wear on me... (Exhibit A: Pam.) Oh well. Wish me luck! And let me know if you'd like me to bring any souvenirs home for you! ;)

Have a good September, and good luck with classes for those of you returning to CGU. I'll miss you ladies!

<3,
Jen

it's saturday night. and i'm home. how wonderful.

actually...it IS wonderful. i've gotten to that age where i kinda appreciate just staying home and relaxing. besides the fact that it's about 92 degrees in my house, i find it quite pleasant. =\ maybe because im dreading school next week and this is my last chance to just sit at home and do nothing. eh. anyway....i wanted to let everyone know that if you blog, please sign it at the end with your name or something. [cause all of our blogs are posted under the same author name cause we all share this account.] =) sometimes it's obvious who's writing...and sometimes it's not. =\


moving on: rashon, your blog cracks me up. the whole "sex in the city" theme....LOVE IT. and i totally agree that when your birthday isn't one of those significant ages...it's just another year for you. but then again, birthdays aren't usually a big deal for me anyway. eh. but i'm glad you had a great day hun! we miss you down here!

i wanted to give everyone an EARLY heads up that this year, i am DETERMINED to go on a SNOW TRIP of some sort. DETERMINED i tell you. and the more people that go, the more affordable it will be for everyone! =) not to mention, if we want to book a cabin, time is already ticking. i'm OOBER broke but if i'm going to save up for anything this year, it will be a snow trip. btw, considering my budget, im giving out big huge hugs for christmas this year. =\ so, who's in for a snow trip?? i was thinking maybe early january since we have a huge vacation. once i get a good idea of how many people are interested, i'll send out more details. i've been researching this all summer long dang it. =P

hope everyone has a safe and happy labor day holiday!!! and jen, have a safe trip to asia. you're going to have a GREAT TIME! =D
