1. We're going to the fair today, Chris has never been. I'm very giddy right now
2. I fit into my old jeans finally, only 7 more pounds to go then I'ma be one skinny bitch again :-D
3. *Hopefully* spending New Year's in NYC. I've never really liked New Year's, but that could definitely change my mind!
4. I will be doing my first art show Nov. 11th. It's at Sally's house, it's called "A Lovin Spoonful", I have no idea what to put in it, I should get workin on that.
5. It's almost freaking Halloween, we are going to a Haunted House next week, and Nada Surf is playing ON Halloween. So is Big D, but I've seen Big D 999999 times, and I've seen Nada Surf once.
Oh, and I got an Andy Warhol bag yesterday, so I'm in a good mood if you couldn't tell :-D

Sorry I don't have pictures for anyone because somehow people scraping the windows on the outside of my apartment got dirt inside my apartment, and my camera and my landlord still hasn't given me money to get it cleaned.
Chris parents came and visited and it was awesome. Beanpie is coming this weekend and we are going to the zoo on Friday and then going to see Janine Lindemulder or whatever, the stripper from the old Blink 182 shit. Bean is probably going to get arrested, we are definitely going to get wasted and poor Jack gets to put up with all of it!
I am currently looking for a new job, because mine sucks ass. All I really need is money to pay my bills and health insurance. I'm going back to school, fuck this shit. Tash has two teefessess now. They are cute, she is wild and silly. It's funny cuz you'll get so mad when she wakes you up at 5am ,but then you look over and she's standing up in her crib smiling at you, you can't help but laugh.
I wanna get my hurr did, and thats about it.

I need a new job before I completely lose my cool.
Chris and I went to Tenn for Ska weekend. It is where we met, so it was kind of like an anniversary for us, even though last year it was in April. It was great seeing all of our friends, even though we missed some people. It seems like there weren't as many people this year, and it was like 200 degrees outside. Love that I buy a fucking 12gb memory card, so it should be, like 6x more space than a 2gb right!?!?! Nope 300 raw pics, so it got full, and I got pissed.
Anywho it was nice to get away for a weekend, weird not seeing Tash for almost 2 days. Love the new apartment. A lot. We are close to our friends, close to stuff to do. I can go for walks and actually have stuff to look at. I have cable tv for the first time in like...6 years. Still nothing on though.
There's a lot of other stuff that isn't so superficial, but I don't feel like talking about it.

We signed our lease this morning! I'm really excited about our apartment, it's going to be wondermous! Why does it have to 100 bajillion degrees? I should've been a hitman so I could let out some pent up rage. We need to find a hotel for Ska Weekend. I need to find a new job that doesn't make me want to go on a killing spree.
Oh yeah, Tash started crawling. Thats about it jiggaboos.

Do do do. I don't really know what to say. I just read something that was truly amusing. Moving forward.
I am now struggling between buying a house or renting an apartment. They both have obvious advantages and disadvantages. The bragging rights of being a homeowner at the ripe age of 21 alone are enough to make me consider it. It was just the whole overwhelmed feeling that made me think twice. That and the fact that I intend to (read: daydream) about going back to school. There are no schools here that are of any interest to me, and no careers in my various fields of interest either. We shall see...we shall see. Chris gets to go to the UK this fall and I don't get to :-( I just knew I should've been a rock star!
PS The Redbox at Harris Teeter is the greatest invention ever.

My life is 100% funny right now. We showed my dad the dreamhouse, he said it needs a new roof and some other stuff so thats a no-go. So someone that I'm not friends with anymore emails me today and I'm all "man what the fuck is going on now" and open it, and she freaking got a job where I work. Now I don't work at the mall or some normal place that people apply for jobs at all the time. Why the fuck does this have to happen to me. I already hate my job enough, and work with a bunch of people I don't like, so what the hell, what's one more?

Yaya left and I miss her dearly.
Chris and I are house shopping, and I bought a 12gb memory card for my camera, which means I can take lots of pictures.

For a long time now I've hoped that if I read enough books or listened to enough meaningful music, watched enough independent films that make you question everything or looked at enough eerily beautiful photos I would regain some emotion, a closeness to anything at all. At this point I don't know what else I can do to restore life and hope where there seems to be none.
It's not that I'm terribly depressed, its just that I feel very detached. Between losing the best friend I ever had and having a baby, over time I've drifted off to the side somewhere. It seems like everyone has a best friend but me. I'd really like to get back in the swing of things, to feel alive again, to go out and be silly but I just don't seem to know where to start.

Yesterday was me and Chris' anniversary. He got me a handmade necklace, it has my name and then a skull and crossbones, I'm in love with it. Nekromantix is tonight, we'll see if I can get in for free. I'm debating taking skellie to get some pics, he hasn't been adventuring in a while. Thursday we leave for dirty Jersey. I'm excited to see Julio at Bamboozle but I don't feel like driving to New Hampshire.
work is supergay.

Chris had a conference this weekend so he worked most of the weekend but yesterday we took Tash to the flea market and walked around. Then last night we went over to Tracey's for her birthday dinner. We were going to go out but ended up building a fire in the backyard and drinking instead. My new lens should be waiting for me when I get home, I can't wait to play with it. Wednesday me, Chris, Christie and Tracey are supposed to go out for my birthday dinner. This Friday I'm supposed to take pictures of Carla's band and then next weekend is Bamboozle so Chris and I are going to NJ. They also have a show with the Dropkick Murphys in New Hampshire I believe.
Tash pooped all over me this morning, and then there were ducks crossing a 4 lane road on the way to work, so cute!
Chris and I own 4 computers. Its just ridiculous now.

I love getting packages. Granted they're all gifts for Tash, its exciting to have mail that isn't a bill! If anyone out there wants to start writing letters or something that would be fun!
Speaking of packages, Michele sent us the cutest hand-painted onesies that are just awesome, and Chris' aunt sent some really cute stuff.
I've been kinda down lately, missing my old life. It's nothing to do with having a baby, that life was over long before she came along. I just miss the people that were in it, and the way things were. I miss being close to people and feeling alive.

Friday Chris and I are going up to NJ for the weekend. I'm excited to see his family, as I'm sure they're excited to see Tash. Chris is getting his new car this weekend, and hopefully we're gonna get wasted and go to a strip club with Bean since my 21st birthday is Monday. I'm not as excited about it as I should be. I guess cuz I have a kid and it's on a Monday, I have to work ,Chris has work and school, so not a whole lot of fun there.
I'm getting a new lens for my birthday, which is the biggest thing I'm excited about. Tuesday is a Big D show, that I doubt I'm going to. The end

Tash is a month old today!
Chris got a job at Duke!
I've lost 30 lbs already!
I missed the Mad Caddies :-(
and the Rosebuds :-(
I talked to a guy I did some modeling for a few years ago and he has a studio now and is gonna show me how to use it, and let me take some pics of Tash!
We're probably getting a new car this summer. We want either a Jeep Patriot or a Dodge Nitro.
Thats pretty much it.

Metric - Soft Rock Star |

I've been feeling so down lately, and not to say that I'm all better by any means, but today certainly did help to improve my mood. Chris and I lay in bed and talked and laughed for a while, I told him I had always wanted to be a rock star, and he laughed and said he didn't know that, and we argued about whether or not I'd ever told him that (I had). We finally got out of bed and ate breakfast and it was so beautiful out we decided to take Natasha to the park for the first time. So we went to Pullen Park and videotaped her, though she slept most of the time, so Chris and I just spent some quality time together. I also finished off the film in my Holga and we dropped that off.
I'm hoping that I can fight off whatever's bothering me, and that I can go to some of the shows that are coming up that I really want to see. We'll see...

So I finally get to go home tomorrow, after 5 days in the hospital. I got a CT scan and they found some sort of abcess so I got to have this fun procedure done where they put a tube in my stomach and now I am attached to a bag to drain it. After the procedure they decided it was a hematoma which is why there isn't really anything coming out of it. I'm just super excited to get the hell out of this place and hopefully heal so I can take care of my baby. She's quite a hit with the nurses here.
Chris and I are getting our hair done Friday, I'm excited! He needs a cut really bad and my color is HORRIBLE!!! I haven't decided what I'm getting done yet, maybe brown and blonde, or maybe red.
Chris has decided to go back to school, I'm really happy for him and proud of him. Hopefully he'll be able to start Monday, if not he'll start in April. YAY I GET TO GO HOME!!!!!!

I'm back in the hospital. They seem to think I have a uterine infection, oh the joys of a c-section just keep on coming. It's funny, I spent the past 5 months or so sleeping on my side, and finally got tired of it and just wished for the day I could lay on my back, now after spending the last 8 days on my back I'd really like to lay on my side. Really, I'd just like to be able to get myself out of bed, put on my own shoes, hold my baby without having to sit just the right way. This whole thing is starting to wear on me. Ive waited and waited to have my baby and now that I do I can't do anything. This was supposed to be the best week of my life and instead I've spent it in constant pain and frustration, and feeling guilty because Chris has to do everything for her.Which by the way, he is an amazing father and has no idea how much I appreciate how much he does for me and our family. On top of that my mom has the flu and hasn't been able to see the baby either. So now I'm sitting in the hospital alone, not seeing Chris or my beautiful little girl.
Don't even get me started on the amount of needles I've had in me this week, and needles are my #1 fear.
sorry about the size of the pics, you can click to enlarge

I had my baby, and she is the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on. Giving birth was the most grueling, intense, excruciating thing I have ever done in my entire life, and she is totally worth every minute of it. I'm still in the hospital, I go home tomorrow and then I can post pictures!

Today is my due date...screw the Superbowl.
I am addicted to MakeupAlley. My sister gave me her tv so my room got rearranged and I have lots of stuff to sell on Craigslist. Maybe I'm nesting? God that would be nice, but I always like to organize and clean. My stomach has been bothering me a lot, most likely cuz theres a good 8 lbs of baby interfering with it?!?! Dear Natasha, please get out of my belly....love mommy.
