Just not sure.

Hello all... or none as it would appear. I don't think anyone reads my blog, but oh well. It's just my vehicle to write and vent to the world. At least Sunny read it once and commented. That's the best I've gotten so far.

I think I'm having a little bit of a crisis at work. I'm not sure I like my job. It's been a slow week, so every minute there just drags by. I don't know if I'm just irritated because it's slow, and it's making me question everything. Or, if I am really just done with the apartment management scene.

I've been rolling around the idea of getting my travel and tourism certificate online. Really if I could do anything, I would just travel the world all the time. I do realize though, even if I can get a job in the travel industry, it's not all travel. I'll  probably just end up at some desk job, or some airline job, that wont hardly pay the bills, let alone pay for excellent vacations. The one perk is, I would get discounts on travel... which I could use even if I don't get a job in the industry, so that's nice.

I just question myself. I have a history of being all about something, then one day I wake up and I'm totally over it.  Hell, my poor parents paid for me to go to a very expensive art college. Never did anything with that degree. I threw myself into a Mary Kay career and dedicated two years of my life to it, then one day was just done with it. Now I've been in apartment management for 4 years, and maybe the appeal is starting to wear off. I'm just not sure what I want any more... it's a little frustrating.

I keep going back to the travel thing in my head. It's been a few months and I keep going back to it. It's been about 6 months actually. Eh... Maybe I'll just keep rolling the idea around a little longer.

Busy weekend!

This weekend was a nice change of pace, considering I really haven't had much of a social life in the last few months. I've been trying to go out as little as possible, since I really don't have money to spend on going out at the moment. Yeah. We're pretty poor these days. :(

Saturday was a great evening! After work and a nap we met up with our friends Josh and Sarah. Josh works for the Omaha Symphony and managed to get us tickets to "Bugs Bunny on Broadway".  It was a really great show! They had a huge screen that they showed old Looney Tunes cartoons on while the symphony played the music. It was really an impressive merger, and actually way cooler than I had imagined. I would totally recommend any one to go, it was so much fun. Plus it was in the beautiful Holland Center, which is truly one of Omaha's great gems and I love to go there whenever possible.

Afterward we all went to the Marly Bone for drinks. It'd been a while since we'd all hung out together. So it was nice to visit and catch up.

Today was the Auto Show down at the Quest Center. We went with our friend Shana and her two little boys. They were a lot of fun to watch run around and react to things. What I wouldn't give to see the world through the eyes of a child again. Where everything is new and exciting. I've started to really like being around children just for that reason. It was a lot of fun.

The rest of they day Eric and I have just been taking it pretty easy. We went and shopped around for a little bit, and then just pretty much spent the night on the couch. So I think I'll go a head and wrap this up. Here are some pictures from the weekend. Enjoy.

The boys with the Bat Mobile at the car show (sorry it's a little blurry but they are just too cute!)

My body hates me.

I think I must just be getting old. :(

I woke up hung over again this morning. Again, I feel I was way more hung over than I should have been. I guess my body just really can't handle alcohol any more. That sucks, because I enjoy having a few drinks from time to time. I guess I'm just going to try to control my drinking a little bit more, because this is the second time in under a week I've been miserably hung over. Plus I can't get anything done when I'm like this. I was in bed till 2 today, because I thought if I moved I was going to throw up. No fun.

Any way. This week seemed to go really fast. I was pretty busy at work, so my days went by quick. Which is always a good thing.

Last night I went over to Robin's house. We just hung out and drank wine all night. This time I spent the night at her house due to my over drinking. Robin is so funny. She finally just got on face book, and is super paranoid that people are going to stalk her online, so she wont approve hardly any one as her friends. She's so cute.

Trying to figure out what we're going to do tonight. I could go for movie, haven't been to one in a long time. Tomorrow night we have a double date with Josh and Sarah. The symphony is have a Looney Tune show. Where they are showing old Bugs Bunny cartoons and the symphony plays over them. Josh works for the symphony, so he got us all tickets. It should be a good time.

Don't really have much else to report on. It's been a pretty uneventful week. I think I'm going to at least try to accomplish something today. Maybe I'll go through one of the basement boxes.

Don't have much to say today...

Other than the news that I started another blog. My goal to write more may have taken over my life... I doubt it. This may just be like so many things I get "all about" for a couple weeks, then completely forget about. Oh well. I really needed a hobby.


Anyway. The new blog is about my food adventures, and local restaurants and all food related whatnots. Check it out at http://www.hungryinomaha.blogspot.com/. My first post is a recipe for a Mediterranean hummus pizza. Good stuff.


Eric did make it home early Monday morning. I'm very glad to have him home. Although I think he's already getting annoyed with me since I want to cuddle and touch him constantly. I think that's about it. Too tired to have any deep thoughts or conversations with myself, so I'm gonna wrap this up. G'night!

I was totally worthless today :(

Yes, it is true. I woke up this morning hung over. Which I thought was weird because I really hadn't drank that much. Alicia came over last night and we watched movies and drank a couple bottles of wine. Really I feel my hangover was disproportionate to the level of alcohol that I drank. I just don't understand my body any more. I can't gauge my level of drunkenness, or how bad my hangover is going to be, and it is really starting to suck. Maybe this is a sign that I shouldn't drink any more.

Anyway, I sat on my ass ALL day, except for the last 20 minutes when I did a load of dishes. I was really, really worthless today.

Eric was supposed to get back tonight, but his flight was cancelled. So now I have to go get him in the morning. I was really excited to have him back home too. When he left, I could hardly wait to get him out the door, and now I can't wait to get him home. I think I just needed a little time to myself. I'm sure he could use the time away from me too. I think our relationship dynamic works a little better when we have some time apart. It makes me appreciate him more when he is around.

I have a hibiscus that decided to sprout out one little bud and bloom... I thought I'd killed it. It's lost almost all it's leaves, so it looks really funny. It's like a bunch of naked sticks with a flower on top. See.

For now, I'm taking it as a personal message not to give up. Since, even though it looked like it was about to give up and die, it put in a little effort and popped out something beautiful. I haven't talked about it too much on here, but work has been a little iffy lately. I just can't decide if I like what I do any more. I've been doing the apartment management thing for the last 4 years, and I did really like it, but I'm just not sure any more. I keep rolling around the idea of getting my travel and tourism certificate... but I know how I am.

I have a tendency to get all about something, and throw myself entirely into it. Then, out of nowhere. One day I'm just done with it. I've always done that. With work, with hobbies, with people. I don't know why I can't just stay interested in things for longer than a couple years. It kinda sucks.

Eh, anyway. I didn't mean to go into all that, and I really should be getting to bed. I have to get up earlier than normal tomorrow to go pick up Eric from the airport... but I'm really don't feel tired. It's not like I  used any energy today. Oh well. I think I'm going to wrap this up. Good night all.

Worn out!!

Well, I did manage to get some of my list done.

 I did get a new profile picture up (it's of me cuddling my kitty on the floor).

 Once I started to clean, things kind of went a stray. You see, I started cleaning off my dining room table and things snow balled. I know cleaning off a table sounds easy, but in our house the table catches everything we don't want to do anything with at the moment. So it catches a lot of crap. I took a before pic for you.

So I started cleaning the table and I noticed the my wood floors were filthy. So then I had to clean my floors since they hadn't been REALLY cleaned since spring time. Since my wood floors go into the living room, I needed to vacuum my area rug and clean that room too. Also, since my chairs were upside down on the table I thought I'd replace some of the little pads on the bottoms of my chairs that keep them from scratching up my floor. After all that, I was about done cleaning. So I never did make get the kitchen good and clean (I did still do a load of dishes though). Here is my after pic.

I love it when my house is clean. Even though right now it's just the living and dining room for the moment, I just feel so much happier in here. Anyway after that I was exhausted and decided I should really have taken a before picture of myself, because while my house looks nice, I look like hell. Here is my after pic.

Also, I did go through 2 boxes from the basement. And! Even though I really didn't want to move much after all that cleaning, I still worked out with my Wii fit for 45 minutes! All in all I still feel like I accomplished a lot today. I'm actually really happy Robin woke me up kind of early today, otherwise I probably would have slept till 1, then been useless the rest of the day because I slept too long.

Sucks I did put off my 401k thing again... I really need to get that taken care of. :(

The kitchen will be my project for Sunday.

Now, I think I need to go to bed.

An ambitious day off...

Ok. So I didn't get to sleep in as much as I wanted, but it was for a good reason. Robin selpt on my couch last night due to a little too much to drink and this morning she got a call back for a job she had interviewed for. She came bounding up the stairs to my bedroom yelling "Angi! I got the job!" Then jumped on top of me. It was really cute. So we went out to breakfast to cellabrate.

So now, I kind of want to go back to sleep. However, I feel like since my husband is gone, I really should do some stuff around the house. You see, my husband has been out of work since May (he's union, and they just ran out of work), so he is here all the time. And I find if very hard to get stuff done when he's around, not really sure why.

So, I figured I'd make a list and post it. So that maybe I'll feel more accountable. Here is what I would like to accomplish today... We'll see how this works out.

1). Call about rolling over my 401K (I switched jobs 4 months ago and keep putting it off).
2). Clean the kitchen.
3). Clean off the dining room table.
4). Go through at least one of the basement boxes :(
6). Find a more recent picture for my profile... that I like. (this could be a hard task)
5). Do a little work out with my Wii fit (which I love!)

I'll let you know how it goes.

--on a side note, I just noticed I've started every paragraph with "so".--

Wow! My hair is getting long again.

You really can't tell from this picture, but I just noticed and felt cute today. So I figured, what the hell, I'll take a picture of myself. Not to mention, my profile picture is like 3 years old. Just need to find a newer one I like. That's all for now.

It's a sun shiny day...

I am in a surprisingly good mood today. Strange since I bearly slept last night, had to go to work early for a mandatory company wide meeting, and have only had one cup of coffee.

Just thought I'd try blogging via my BlackBerry. It's pretty easy. This may help me keep up my resolution to write more. :)

The sun is shining brightly today, and it's going to be above freezing today for the second day in a row.

All feels right in the world today, and that makes me smile.

Today is my Friday, so I'm looking forward to spending the evening with my good friend Robin, and sleeping in tomorrow. Good times.

my right hand smells like gas...

Hi there.

This is a blog that happened, sucked, and so it has been reborn.

Really, this blog is just for myself. I'm not going to go into a huge back story. All you need to know is that my name is angi, I recently turned 27, and I live in Omaha. I'm married to a great guy name Eric, who I like most of the time, and I have a cat named cat.

As I said, this blog is really for myself. You see, years ago I always kept a journal, and I was always writing. I have volumes of journals, but nothing from the last 5 years (give or take). So this blog, is really going to be more like a online diary of my thoughts, feelings, life happenings, blah blah blah.
Oh. So why the title. "little lost Omaha"? That hasn't changed. You see, I feel a little lost in my life. Not really sure what my plans are for the future, or hell, even tomorrow. I feel like I just don't know where I am headed in life. I have lots of things I would like to do, but either don't have the ambition to get there or just don't have any idea how to get there. I'm not sure I like my job, but I'm not sure I don't like it either. I have lots of friends, but often feel like I don't have any, or don't know who my friends really are. As far as my "lost" feelings go, I'm sure those listed are just the tip of the iceberg, but I feel like I'm done talking about that.

Anyway, since it's a new year, I felt the need to make some resolutions (not that I've ever kept one). Writing more was one of them. My other resolutions are to get some kind of physical activity at least once a week. Have more sex with my husband and get our basement cleaned out so we can get it finished.

My husband is currently on a road trip with my 89 year old grandfather. He's taking him back to West Virginia, were most of my family lives. There is a super long story behind this trip, but I don't feel like going into. But the plus side is, I have the house all to myself for the next 4 days. I really love my husband, but sometimes we can really get on each other's nerves. We've been spending a lot of time together lately, and it's lead to a lot of stupid little quarrels over really nothing. I think we're to the point that a little time apart would do us some good.

Well, I suppose this is getting pretty lengthy, so I'll wrap it here. Oh, and the title of this entry, has nothing to do with anything in it. Just stating a fact of the moment.
