9:45 pm	Back again I can't seem to keep up with this thing! I always say I am going to update it more often and I never do. I guess I don't have that commitment gene! Heheh. Anyway, a lot of stuff has happened since my last entry. Most importantely, we set our wedding date :) It's November 17th, 2007. The ceremy is at Saint Pius X in Montville, and the reception is at the Grand Summit Hotel, in Summit (obviously!). I'm so glad we got that squared away because now we can relax for another year or so when wedding planning will be going full-force. We both have basically choosen our wedding party already. Ange is of course going to be my maid of honor. My bridesmaids are going to be Katie, Shoshanna, Lucia, Diana, Amy H, Amy Lin, Lisa, and Ellen. I'm looking forward to lots of quality time with my girls. I am soooo excited to annouce that there is a new member of the Berger family! A beautiful chocolate lab puppy!! My parents were thinking about getting a puppy, but we weren't sure because Friendly is so old. However, my parents went to "see" the puppies at the breeder and they happened to have one puppy left. As you know, we are definitely dog people so I don't blame them that they couldn't resist and brought one home. I haven't met her yet, but I saw pictures and she is soooo sweet. Of course, I still love Friendly the best and this baby BETTER be nice to him :) She does not have a name yet, but I'm sure by tomorrow they will have thought of something. I am so siked to see her, but unfortunantely I have to wait until next Saturday :( They are re-doing the floors or something in the GR home so my family is in their PA house for the entire week. Sooooo excited to see her. I will definitely post pictures!! I am also excited to annouce that Diana, Alex II, and Alex III are moving into my complex! We are going to officially be neighbors! So excited! It's so cool how Diana and I have been friends forever and now we're all grown up and becoming neighbors :) I am thrilled to get to spend a lot of time with Alex III and I don't want to miss anything as he grows up. He is so sweet and I can't wait until he walks and talks. I also sticking with Weight Watchers, which is amazing, because like I mentioned earlier, I don't normally stick to things. I go every Wednesday with my coworkers, so that support really helps. So far I have lost 11.8 lbs. I hope to lose at least 15, maybe 20 for my wedding. I just want to look as best I can :) Dave & I signed up for the Y and I have been faithfully going so hopefully I will notice some results of my hard work there soon :) Anyway, I will *try* to update soon!! love love!

10:49 am	More stuff I forgot to mention a very big detail in my last entry- Diana had her baby boy! At this point, he's already over one month old. His name is Alexander Scott Reeves III, and he is the cutest thing ever. She has some really good pictures of him on-line, so click the link in her profile (although I'm sure by now, you already have). It's really hard to believe that one of my friends is a mom! Anyway, thankfully both mom & baby are totally healthy and things seem to be going well for them both. Yay, congratulations Diana! I'm sure I've already let you know, but next Saturday, we're having a party here. Hopefully you can all come :) I think it's going to be a good time, cause it seems like a lot of people can come. Jenn & Shannon are coming, too which is awesome because I haven't seen them in forever! Ok, well this is a short entry... I'm going to go have something to eat (suprise, suprise).

6:58 pm	Stuff Well, I'm back!! So much has happened since my last update! I moved out (finally!). I now live in Lake Hiawatha (NJ, obviously). Most of you probably never even heard of it. It's right next to Parsippany; actually it's (I believe) a township of Parsippany. I live in a cute little apartment with Dave. I'm still working at the same place, and things have been busy, but good, there. My commute is a little easier from here, especially on the way home (no more Route 80!). Dave's working at an architecture firm in Rockaway. His commute is even nicer. It only takes him about 10 or 15 minutes to get there. Even bigger news... I'm engaged! I'm sure you all know that by now, though. I'm so excited! We haven't made any official plans yet, but we're thinking of having the wedding in November 2007. That way we have plenty of time to get things in order. I'll have more details soon but for now, we're both really excited (well, I'M excited, I hope Dave is! hehe). Shoshanna also moved into her new apartment in So-Jo (that's south Jersey for you guys not down with the lingo). She had a party last Saturday, and we all had a lot of fun. Right now I'm baking chicken parm so I better go take it out of the oven!! Current Mood: giggly (Comment on this)

10:10 pm	Wow .... it's been forever since I last updated this thing. I think I actually completely forgot about it. I decided randomly to update it now. I guess a whole lot has happened since I last updated this. I'm still working at the same place, and I do consider myself lucky because I actually enjoy going to work everyday. It would definitey be depressing to wake up everyday and feel miserable about having to go to work all day. I'm excited because my company is having a Christmas party on December. I got a really cute new dress and fabulous shoes I can't WAIT to wear. I will definitely take lots of pictures. It will almost kind of sort of be like I'm going to the holiday ball again. I miss formals... but at least I get to go to one kind of!! I'm finally moving out of my house. On December 1st (well, I'm actually moving officially December 2nd) I'm moving to Lake Hiawatha (basically Parsipany) with Dave. We got a nice little apartment and I am so excited. I am definitely ready to move out of my house. It's really hard at our age still living there, because we're too old to have any restrictions or be told what to do. I am also very excited about the little silly things like decorating. It's cool that we're moving right before Christmas because we're getting a tree and going to hang stockings and stuff. Cool! Maybe if you're lucky... I'll invite you over :). The whole packing thing is a little overwhelming, but in a fun way. Dave's graduating in December, and so right now it's hard to coordinate everything because he's extremely busy with school and everything. I am sure everything will go smoothly though. Another exciting thing is that Diana's baby is due a week from this Wednesday. So, I guess any day now the baby could pop out. I sure hope it comes earlier rather than later for her sake! That would be too cool if he (it's a boy, FYI) was born on Thanksgiving day! That would stink that her doctor would have to leave Thanksgiving dinner to deliver the baby, but at least Emily (Diana's sister) would home to see him when he's first born. I am definitely totally excited. I will definitely have lots of pictures when he decides to come into the world. Already, though, we know it's a boy who will be named Alexander III. Cute. Anyway, those are the bigest things in my life at the moment. I will write more and go into more detail next time. love, Kristin Current Mood: cold (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:43 pm	I'm back again (for the hundrenth time) Well, I didn't write for a while because when I tried to write, the live journal was apparentely under construction or something. I got frustrated and stopped trying, but I kind of miss this thing, so here I am again. Last time I wrote, I wrote about snow. This time I'm writing about rain. What's going on, this spring has not been that nice at all. All week it's been raining, and it's supossed to rain this weekend too. Booo. Well, at least we have next Monday off. That should be nice. What else has been going on? I guess a lot of stuff. George Jr. (Dave's sister's baby) is getting so much bigger. I have been able to see him a lot which is cool. Everytime I see him, he looks bigger. I guess growing is pretty much all babies do, huh? This Sunday is his Christening so that should be nice. Right now he still doesn't really know what's going on but when he gets older he's totally going to think I'm the coolest babysitter. I sold my Jeep and got a civic. It's much smaller and better on gas. I miss my Jeep, but I had plenty of good memories with it. Who knows, maybe one day I'll have another SUV. It's definitely nice to pay less money for gas, though.

4:57 pm	Snow... ...Or lack thereof. We actually were released early from work (well, an hour) 'cause of the "storm". Well, it's barely snowing. I think the Gods are going to be mad at me and somehow get back at me for underestimating their power. Well, we shall see. It would be sweet to have a snow day tomorrow though. Wishfull thinking but you never know... Well, let's see, what's new? Well, the biggest and best news I have is that last Wednesday Ellen (Dave's sister) had her baby. It is a boy and his name is George (after the dad). Dave & I actually went to their house to see him on Saturday night. I had never in my entire life seen a newborn baby so I was a little nervous to hold him but it actually isn't so weird, and it sort of comes naturally. He is so cute and little though, I swear I was never that tiny! He has a lot of hair, and it's like, jet black. He peed on Dave which was so funny, and it actually soaked through both of his shirts. Anyway he didn't cry that much at first but after we were there for about an hour he started crying a lot- probably because he was hungry. So it was really fun to see him and thankfully everything went well and both Ellen and the baby are fine. I have a couple of pictures, so one of these days I'll post them on-line. Nothing else too new and exciting is going on. It's scary that tomorrow is March 1st. I swear it's going to be freaking Christmas time again before we know it! I think though, at this point, we're all just looking forward to the warmer weather. March should be a fun month though, there's a few things coming up which is cool. anyway, I'll write more soon, hopefully I'll start posting entries more regularly. Jenn Crowe requested that I update it on a regular basis, well... I don't know about THAT but hopefully I'll do it more often than I do. love love -Kristin Current Mood: hungry (Comment on this)

6:15 pm	Stuff My weekend was really fun. On Friday though I went to that Cold Stone Creamery place with people from work and I got a pumpkin milkshake... it was absolutely delicious, they make their ice cream like the old fashioned way (that's what Katie said) so it's extra creamy and soooo good. But man oh man did I feel like crap... I only drank like, a fourth of it and I had to take tums 'cause I felt like I was going to die (literally). But that place is amazing, even it smells delicious! Yum! Friday night I hung out with Angela. We took a trip to Brad's apartment in Hoboken then we came back to my house got Chinese food. I am usually really tired though on Friday nights so I went to sleep around 11 so I could get some good rest. Saturday I did my usual volunteering at the hospital, then I went to the store to buy wine and fruit to make sangria. That night I met up with Dave and we went to church together before going to the supermarket to buy food to make Mexican stuff. We ended up buying entirely too much- we bought tortilla shells, cheese, and chicken to make the quesidillas, refried beans, rice, salsa, and chips. Anyway, we had a good time preparing the food but it was way too much. We also made quacamole. The stuff all came out ok, except the quesadillas which I burned. They were still edible, though. I wasn't the hugest fan of the Chipolte (sp?) rice but Dave liked it a lot. We drank sangria, ate a lot of food and watched Barbershop 2. Neither of us got really drunk... well, I was kind of, but more tired than drunk because red wine does that to me. I swear, after like 2 glasses I feel tired as hell. It's annoying. But we really had such a good time, even though we completely trashed the kitchen. Thankfully my parents were away so they couldn't witness the huge mess... we cleaned it up this morning though, I just have to finish doing the dishes. I didn't get that great of a night's sleep though so I'm feeling sleepy today and definitely looking forward to bed time. Tomorrow I have off from work so I'm happy about that. ok, well I'll write more next time but right now I'm just getting too tired. love love -Kris Current Mood: exhausted (Comment on this)

9:33 pm	Back in business Hey everyone, the live journal is back...aren't you all absolutely thrilled?! I decided to change the color scheme 'cause I thought the other one was ugly and I wanted something more girly... so pink it is. Let's see, what's been going on... Well, work's going well, I like it a lot. The people at work are really nice and it's actually a lot of fun to be there everyday. I consider myself lucky because not a lot of people have the type of job where they actually enjoy being there. I also work right by Target & the Willowbrook mall so it's nice for my lunch break... not so great for my wallet though. Actually, I've been buying things really really cheap which is great. Because I shop so much, I hit all the sales when they happen. Anyway, so work's actually kinda fun, but that can be a little bit distracting sometimes when you have lots of work to do, but I just stay a little later at night to get it done when it's nice and quiet. I think I need to come up with more things to do though during the weeknights. I am a member at the gym but I don't go nearly as frequentely as I want to. I should go, though, with the amount I eat. I feel gross... I just don't want to be this whale for the rest of my life. :( Last weekend I spent the weekend with Katie and Shoshanna which was lots of fun. Shoshanna came over to my house Friday night and we had pizza and finished up the rest of the vodka I brought to the city (we went there 2 weekends ago for the night, I'll write about that later). Saturday morning we lounged around in our pj's and watched tv... it was just like old times in college. The weird thing was that she slept in my brother's room and I slept in mine so it was strange not sleeping in the same room.... we're like, totally roommates for life... dude. Anyway, on Saturday we went to the mall... which was fun but very frustrating for Sho 'cause she hates the traffic in north Jersey. I don't blame her, it's just something I'm used to. The mall was fun, we got some good deals on some stuff. I got a pair of boots for $7 and we both got the same sweater for $8... woo! The actual drive to Long Island was pretty crappy as we sat in traffic for about an extra hour and a half... I have to give myself credit, though, because I was really well behaved an didn't cause Sho any more stress :) When we finally got there everything was cool and it was so great to be all together again. I miss those girls so much, it's not fair that we can't live closer to eachother. Cooper (Katie's dog) was awesome- he's stilla puppy but totally calming down. He was pretty hyper the last time I saw him (December). He's so sweet though, I love him. He looks like an akita, with that cute little curly tail... awwww.... COOPER! I love him! I DO love him! Hehehe. We hung out at the Germana household 'til it was dinner time. We had reservations at 7:30 at this Mexican place and we were all totally hungry so you can imagine how bummed we were when we found out that despite the fact that we had a reservation, we STILL had to wait. Oh well, we finally got our table and quickly ordered gucamole (guac as we like to call it)which was okay, but not THAT fabulous...Shoshanna suggested adding salt, whcih did increase the flavor but it wasn't all that delicious. Oh well, I'm going to make my own guac this weekend and see how it comes out. I love that stuff, I love the texture, I love everything about it!! Our main courses were good, but I think we all ate entirely too much, but that's ok! Next we went to a bar and had a drink. We were planning on getting completely bombed at Katie's (just like we always do) but we never ended up doing so 'cause had cake and were too damn full. Let me tell you about this cake though- absolutely amazing. This cake was sent directely from Heaven, I think. Have you guys ever heard of Cold Stone Creamery?? Well, it is an ice cream place. Katie's mom got a Valentines Cake from there and we all had some. Even Little, their next door neightbor who we love a lot. Anyway, it was like, devil's food cake with cinnamin ice cream and ganache... yum it was so "sinfull & decanant"... YUUUUUUUM I am craving that cake ever since... and you know, me, not the absolute hugest fan of ice cream! Turns out, there's one around near work, so tomorrow some of the girls from work and I are going to go... can't wait! I'm going to get a milkshake.... wooo hoo! Is it retarded that I've been excited over this milkshake all week??? Yes, I'm a fat lard... I know but I don't care at this point, it's worth being fat over, I loved that cake and I have just got to go to that place! On Sunday we went to the mall and the movies. We saw "The Wedding Date" which I didn't originally want to see but ended up liking. I love those girly movies... it was cute. Unfortunantely, after the movie, it was time to go home... and I always feel kinda depressed when our hanging out time is over :( I can't wait to see the girls again. Even though we don't get to see eachother all that much, we do talk constantely, so it's not too bad. Valentines Day was on Monday and Dave and I went to dinner, unfortunantely it was a Monday, it was raining, and I had to stay at work a little later. But we'll do something extra fun this weekend to make up for it. Ok, well I gotta finish my laundry up and get some sleep, I'm tired... I'll write more about the city and everything tomorrow. love love, Kris ps- is is true that I write exactly how I talk? 'cause that's what I hear... well, I guess I do kinda write that way as I do ramble on and on even in this thing... that's just me, it's part of my charm! Current Mood: cheerful (Comment on this)

3:43 pm	Snow I know a lot of people may be glad about the snow but I'm not entirely thrilled. It's nice that it is actually snowing but I'm annoyed that it's happening on a Saturday. It's my favorite day of the week anad I'm stuck inside for the night. Well, there will be plenty of other weekends right? Next weekend is going to be so much fun as I am going into the city with Sho, Katie, & Laura. So that's something to look forward to. Anyway, let's hope tomorrow I get to do somethnig fun. As for tonight, I guess it won't be too bad, I'll lounge around and eat junk food :) Did you guys watch the inauguration? I didn't see his speech obviously 'cause I was at work but I read it and saw snips of it on the evening news and it was really impressive. Go W. Really, though, it was really inspiring and he really makes people proud to be American. Let's see, what else is going on? Not too much, the usual... I'm going to happy when January ends 'cause as you all probably know it's my least favorite time of the year.... but I have to say yhat this January hasn't been too bad. I like February 'cause I like Valentine's day. I know a lot of people hate it but I think it's such a nice holiday to show your friends and everyone that you care about them, plus a good reason to eat candy. Ok, it's not like I watch Nickelodeon but I happened to catch this show called "zoey 101" and Britney Spear's sister is in it... it's so disturbing 'cause she looks exactly like her but obviously less slutty. It's a really gay show though, I didn't watch much of it 'cause anything related to Britney Spears sucks in my book. Ok everyone, I'm going to try to find some stuff to do. Hope everyone stays off the roads and stays warm. Love love -Kris Current Mood: bored (Comment on this)

7:31 pm	Stuff Well, I forgot about this thing, I thought I had updated it more recentely... I'll try to be more faithful. Actually, though, hardly anyway reads this anymore, probably since I'm not in college anymore and no one cares... Oh well... I know I have a few people who read it so that's ok by me. So I hope you all are having a nice 2005 so far. I have been keeping myself busy and so I haven't been hating January that much lately. Work's going well, too. Last Friday night I hung out qith Diana who I haven't seen in so long (and unforuntely probably won't see for a long time :( ) and her new puppy is so sweet... he actually came over to my house to meet my parents and Friendly but they ended up going away this weekend so they never got to meet, hopefully soon. We also watched "Napoleon Dynamite"- now I didn't find this thing funny. Am I missing something? 'cause Diana and all the mamis seem to think it's absolutely hysterical... I just thought it was pretty stupid! Maybe I'll give it another chance and watch it again but I wasn't that entertained. The movie has like, no point and Napoleon is just a big tool. I mean I know I don't always have the greatest sense of humor but come on, is this movie actually funny? Ok... well, I'll have more to write later, right now I gotta go finish doing laundry and stuff like that. Later folks. Love love, k Current Mood: lethargic (Comment on this)

8:27 pm	Christmas Hope everyone had a nice Christmas and hope Santa was good to you all, too. I had a nice holiday. I spent it in the Pocanones at our house there. It was just me, mom, dad, Billy and Friendly. I thought it would be horrible, but to be honest, it was pretty nice and relaxing. I watched lots of movies, slept, read and of course, ate tons of good food. I've since gained probably at least 10 lbs and I feel absolutely digusting but whatever. I keep getting fatter but I guess I look jolly for the holidays don't I? Anyway, on Sunday my cousins and aunts, uncles, and grandpa from my dad's side came over and it was a lot of fun. I wish I could have stayed long but unfortunantely, I had to work on Monday so I had to come home earlier. It was really lonely being all by myself on Sunday night here... I realized that I would definitely never want to live alone, I get so lonely so easily! ("you love people!") Last night I went over to Diana's house to see her new friendly (I mean puppy for all of you who don't know that I call dogs "friendlies".... don't ask). Anyway, to be honest I was a little suprised that she and Emily (her sister) picked out a shi-tzu (sp?) 'cause I always thought that they were like, little fru-fru dogs. But this little guy (his name's Spencer by the way) is so so so so cute and friendly and I just love him so much. He looks like a stuffed animal actually. I had a blast hanging out with him and can't wait to see him again. Next time I should really take some pictures of him. I feel like a kid in a candy shop with all the sales at the mall. As you know, I work right near Willowbrook Mall which is great as I can spend an hour there everyday on my lunch break. I bought so many new things at such great prices, it's really exciting! Mayne I need a more exciting life if I get so siked to go to the mall but whatever. Ok, well did you guys ever see "Milo & Otis"? It's the sweetest movie ever, about a dog and a cat who become friends... I got it at Walmart for like $5 so I'm going to go watch some of it. Love love Kris Current Mood: content (Comment on this)

9:19 pm	Misc. I'm not going to write much tonight as I'm pretty tired. But I still really like my job, and the days go by quickly, which is nice. However, I need to come up with more stuff to do at night 'cause right now I'm kinda bored and tired. But it's a nice kind of tired. I've been getting plenty of sleep which is good. I kind of like the 9-5 life style because once you come home, you are free 'til you have to go back... no more papers or exams to worry about. I miss college in many ways though, too. Christmas shopping's coming along slowly but surely. I don't actually have many presents to buy for people though, I'm not going too overboard. Ok, well I'm going to go relax now.

6:24 pm	Stuff My new job is really cool, I like it. The people are nice, too, which is important. I also work right by the mall, so that's another plus. I have to do my Christmas shopping, speaking of the mall and shopping. I've only just started. But it's ok because I don't have a really long list. I'm not too popular these days. Just kidding... well actually... I'm only half kidding. But seriously, who cares right? I went to Long Island for the Germana's Christmas party this past Saturday. Shoshanna picked me up and we went together. It was so much fun! They have a big tree in their front yard so they had a tree lighting and everyone sang Christmas carols in front of it, which was really fun. I had so much to drink and eat. Speaking of the eating, I was wearing white pants, and I got red sauce on them. Ooops... it was fine though, I just changed into my jeans. Actually, it was pretty funny because I spilled the sauce so Katie handed me a napkin to clean it up with but once I wetted the napkin (which was green and red), the green dye stained the paints making them even worse. Oh well, at the time, it was hysterical. It was such a great time because it got me away from everything that's been bothering me. Not that a lot has been bothering me because generally I'm a happy person but lately like I said, it seems as though I'm not exactly the most "popular" person around. But it's totally ok because I was with Katie and Sho who always make me happy. Anyway, the next day I was really sad to go 'cause I miss them so much but I might actually see them this Saturday in the city. It was too bad Ddawg couldn't make it, too. But we had a blast (from what I remember). The next day I felt like sucha blimp though, I was suprised I could still fit into my pants. Anyway, if you guys are reading this, know that I love you and miss you :( I'm going to go print some pictures from that night off my camera and put them up at work. Other than my Long Island excursion, unfortunantely I don't have much other news. I guess my life isn't all interesting :) Happy Chanukkah everyone! love, Kris ps- "do they know it's Christmas time at all?" Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

7:05 pm	Misc. Hey everyone.... I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. I'm not nearly as mad at my mom as I was in the last entry. Sometimes she really makes me mad, but I guess she's just sometimes a really difficult person. I certainly can be one, too though. Anyway, now that Thanksgiving is over, the Christmas season is officially upon us. I don't think I'm going to get around to doing my Christmas shopping until next week, but I'll this week to gather my thoughts about what I plan to buy for people. Tomorrow I start my new job. I'm pretty excited/nervous. But it should be good. I'm looking forward to have a more regimented schedule. I get up in the morning, go to work during the day, and at night time I can do whatever I want. I'm working near Willowbrook mall which is cool, too, because I can go there during my lunch break, and probably get some Christmas shopping done then, too. Anyway, hopefully this week will go by quickly because I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Friday night I'm going to be hanging out with Dave and hopefully Lisa and Sandip too, and then on Saturday I'm going with Shoshanna to Long Island for the Germana's Christmas party. so I think having something to look forward to should make the week go by more quickly. I still have to go find something cute to wear to the party. Sho and Katie already both got their new outfits. So what else is new? Well, I had a rough night last night but everything turned out ok in the end, which is usually the case. I'm going to try to just stay more calm when something doesn't go my way or when someone doesn't like me when it's out of my control. I was with Dave and we ended up going over to his dad's house and having McDonalds and beer (how white trash is that?) and helping his step mom set up her Christmas village. Ok, well...Lucia just called so I'm going to go pick up my phone. Later dudes! Love Love Kristin Current Mood: mellow (Comment on this)

8:42 pm	Happy Thanksgiving! Hey guys- Happy Thanksgiving all! Hope everyone has a nice day tomorrow. I've already started eating a lot tonight.... but I'm sure I'll still have my appetite tomorrow. We were supossed to go out to the Pocanos tomorrow but instead we're just staying in Glen Rock so we can go visit my grandparents. I'm happier staying here because we don't have to drive all the way out there. My mom's pissing me off though, so I'm not that thrilled having to spend the day with her tomorrow. I can't wait to move out so I don't have to see her ona daily basis. Sorry to sound harsh, but I'm really starting to get fed up with her basically telling me I suck at life... because anyone who knows her, knows she thinks that, or at least tries to make me believe it. I don't know why she's so judgemental all the time. Well, once I'm out of here, I'm not planning on talking to her on a regular basis. And if that sounds mean, so be it. I'd like to think that most of you who are my friends know me and know that I'm (hopefully) at least a decent person. Anyway, enough time wasted on the topic of her. She can go to hell for all I care... sorry for being harsh again. Anyway, for all who are wondering, the last entry is a little quiz/survey I stole from my cousin Alyssa's live journal... thanks Alyssa :) I had fun filling it out... so if anyone wants to copy and paste it, go ahead. I watched "Elf". I wasn't sure if it was going to be really stupid or really cute but it turns out, it is really cute. I enjoyed it and recommend it for all to see. It's cute and funny for little kids and big kids too. Anyway, I'm going to go upstairs and clean up the mess I made from the cookies I bakes before my bitchy mom eats me alive (and you know she might attempt it)~ love and Happy Thanksgiving again! -Kristin xoxoxo Current Mood: hungry (Comment on this)

7:51 pm	I'm back! Hey guys... I've decided to try to update this thing more often because I know you're all pining away for my live journal entries.... Well, I stopped working at my other job but that's actually a good thing because I hated it. I actually just got a new job and I'll start the 29th so that's pretty exciting :)I'm really looking forward to saving up enough money to move out on my own. Lisa and I are really excited to possibly be roommates. We'll definitely throw some nice parties so that should be really awesome. In the meantime, before I start this new job, I'll be working part-time back at Gymboree. I like that job, so I'm actually looking forward to it. The people are really nice and that's really important. I'll let you all know how the new job goes as soon as I start. I can't believe it's almost Christmas! I was telling Lucia this but it's weird, I keep forgetting what season it is, probably because I'm still getting used to not being a student anymore. I see Christmas advertisments and think to myself "Hmmm, did they leave that up from last year?" then I realize- no way, it IS the Christmas season again (well, almost). I can't wait til December 1st, 'cause they'll have all those Christmas specials on , on ABC family. One every night, I think, 'til Christmas. Awesome! I haven't really decided what I'm getting people for Christmas yet...I'll probably wait til early December to worry about that. Speaking of Lucia... it's cool 'cause we've been hanging out a lot more often lately. We've met in Madison a couple of times for dinner/lunch/shopping/whatever. Plus we spend at LEAST like, an hour, on the phone everyday. Maybe we need lives but we never run out of things to talk about (basically we talk about food and boys). I still miss Katie, Sho, and DDawg though :( But we keep in really good touch too so that's good. Well, that's about it for now. I'll write more soon* love love -K Current Mood: cheerful (Comment on this)

5:43 pm	UConn This sucks, it is Sunday night and the weekend is over... booo... what's worse is that I had such an awesome time this weekend. Friday night, Angela, Brad, Dave & I went to the Macaroni Grill for dinner and that was a lot of fun. We got to color on the table which was cool. Yesterday Shoshanna came over to my house, and we headed up to UConn to stay with Danielle for the night. Katie & Laure came too. We had such a blast. Danielle as most of you know, is going to grad school at UConn. She's in a five year program and she'll get her masters, then her phD. She's living in an adorable condo with a roommate who is really nice. I absolutely loved her place, it's so nice and comfortable and home-like. And it's almost like we were in a ski lodge, because the area is very rustic and pretty... so it was like a nice little retreat. Well, once everyone got together, I felt like the energizer bunny. I had so much to say, but I couldn't get it all out. I haven't seen these girls in a couple of months so I was so overwhelmed and wanted to tell them so much. It was seriosuly one of the greatest feelings to all be together again, and I don't think I realized how much I missed them. Anyway, so after Danielle showed up around a bit, we started drinking. And we drank a decent amount before dinner. Dinner itself was a blast. We went to some place about five minutes from Danielle's place. Well, we orderd a pitcher of Coors and I guess the drinks from before started to kick in and I think Katie and I were pretty retarded at this point and would not shut up for the entire time we were there. I couldn't even order my own dinner, I bascially had to have Katie pick it for me because all I wanted to do was drink. I ended up with a chicken ceaser wrap, in case you were wondering. So, dinner was an absolute blast. After dinner, we went to "paint the town pink" (apparentely that's a popular expression but I never heard of it). We went to get this- Maggie Moo's! I was so very suprised to see that they have one in another place besides route ten. At this point, I was pretty drunk that I didn't even WANT ice cream but ordered it anyway and ate the entire thing, of course. Oh well... Next we went home and continued to drink and have a great time. We just all went nuts and it like old times. The only thing missing was Cluck U. Damn I miss that stuff. I called like, everyone in my phone book just to "chat". We even called Dave Kessler, but it was too bad he wasn't around. It was such a great time. I also finished my food from dinner. So eventually we got to sleep. I slept on the pullout couch with Katie and Shoshanna and Laura slept on the aerobed or whatever it's called. We all slept prety well... but we got up pretty early. We all showered and had breakfast and then headed over to the UConn health center which is where Danielle takes her classes and does her labs. We took a tour of the building because Laura is interested in going to that med school next year... and it was a really nice building. After that we went to the mall and went to Ruby Tuesday's for lunch... walked around the mall a little bit... then headed back to Danielle's. Then we said good bye to eachother, and that was certainly very difficult. I actually cried because I suddenly got so sad and realized how much I really am going to miss these girls. I guess now I feel a little better, because I rezlied that I'm actually lucky to have felt this way... lucky because I have the kind of friends who are so good that I feel sad not to see them. But it's going to be ok because I know that the next time we see eachother, it will be awesome and I am going to try to treasure the times we have together because unfortunantely, we don't have many of those times. I'm definitely going to try to make an effort to get up to Connecticut to see Daneille more often, as well as Long Island to see Katie & Laura, and South Jersey to see Sho. Anyway, I'm sorry to sound so depressed, it's just that I really miss my girls. But, fortunantely, I'm lucky enough to have people locally who I also love very much. Ange and Lisa are right here in GR with me... and so is Diana but she's super busy and hard to get a hold of (love you Diana). And of course there is Dave who isn't too far away either. And plus, it's not about how often you see people, or how physically close they live to you, it's how much you care about eachother, because there' always the phone right?? I need to stop thinking about how I wish it was the weekend, or how I wish I was doing something else, I should really try to enjoy the moment. I think it would help me be less high-strung. I really feel bad for Dave because I think I stress him out sometimes, and I don't even mean to. I know he has a lot of work to do, and I need to be more understanding and not place so much pressure on him to do things when he doesn't have time for them. I guess I have a lot to work on, but my friends and Dave will stick by me as a patch up my mistakes. Anyway, as you all probably kniow, I'm working full-time now... and to be honest, I'm not one hundred percent pleased with my job. I got the job through an employment agency and I think that they made it sound much better than it actually is. Don't get me wrong, I like the people for the most part and the work isn't hard but I think I would almost enjoy more of a challange. I have a second round interview for a position with another company that I really loved coming up, so let's cross our fingers and hope it goes through. In the meantime, I'm getting experience and earning money so how bad could that be, right? Dave told me that whenever I start feeling upset, I should calm down by asking myself "is this really that bad?". And things really aren't all that bad when you think slowly about them. Maybe I should start reading up on Zen- it emphasizes living in "the moment" and not wishing you were somewhere else all the time. Hmmmm... ok well, enough of this, I'm getting sleepy. I realize it is only 9:30 but I'm going to go relax before bed. love love, kristin Current Mood: exhausted (Comment on this)

11:23 pm	Stuff Well, let me start out with a completely original thought: IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE UPDATED THIS THING! hehe....Okay then sooo.. What's been going on? Well, the Gouchoe's randomly moved to Massachusettes so we have Misty staying at our house until November. As you all know, I'm pretty thrilled because it's so much fun having two dogs. Especially two labradors, it's so cute because there's a yellow one and a black one, they look great together. I nicknamed them "dog 1 and dog 2"... again, original, huh? Well, Misty isn't the best dog in the sense that she isn't very well behaved. She steals food, jumps on people, and wakes up up really really early in the morning but you can't get mad at her because she's so sweet. She really loves people and she is just so happy to be around people. Yup, she's my little girl dog and I love her. Anyway, I'm still looking for a job and in the meantime I'm doing a lot of babysitting for friend's of the Gouchoe's. It is amazing how much people really need sitters. It's fun though, especially because I get to watch this little 2 month old boy who is really adorable. Babies are a lot of work though, and they make you pretty exhausted. Not to mention the smell of sour milk on your clothes... yuck. But they're really fun too. Last weekend Shoshanna and Kristin and I went for lunch. We had a really good time, and it was great to see them. I haven't seen Katie or Danielle lately and I really miss them:(. I'm glad to hear that Danielle's doing well at grad school though, she seems to like it there (hi Ddawg, I know you're probably reading this). Well, I did a lot of other things but I am kind of tired now to write them down... but I'll fill you all in soon :) love love -kris Current Mood: sleepy (Comment on this)

1:14 pm	Thank you I just want to send out a great big thank you to Sho and Jess for being such great freinds to me today. They listened to me when I was upset and calmed me down. Within about 3 minutes of talking to Sho I was perfectely calm-I don't know how she does it because we all know how irrational I can be. So thank you guys for being you:) Things are just fine, thigns are not bad at all. And sometimes I get overwhelmed and just need to calmly spoken to. Yelling at me just makes me completely nervous... so thank you Sho for being so calm. love, kris Current Mood: calm (Comment on this)
