Ok... so its been long time...

Updates in my life... not many but we shall see where this goes...

first, lets just start with the fact that Danny and Jenna got married yesterday... and I do not know how to spell congratulations... bc i always spell it Congradulations... so ...

CONGRADULATIONS!!! Mr. & Mrs. Waskow!!!

moving along... I hurt... I am, one, very hungover... and two, severely bruised... and I dont know why... well I know why I am hungover... damn open bars... and then post quiet in the hotel parties...

I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.

Establishment:
of course you are my bright little star,
Ive miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefathers fruit
And now to suit our
Great computer,
Youre magnetic ink.

Im more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.

Inner man:
there you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
That you perceive
The web they weave
And keep on thinking free.
~Moody Blues~

I have a blister on my thumb from straightening my hair yesterday... and it doesn't hurt but its annoying..

i love putting "..." at the end and mostly in the middle of everything I type and then returning a few times to start my next point...

cb's response of all fart was hilarious.. thanks... and big dave's with frying me and then eating me... did bring a smile...

moving along... or more like backwards...

I think I need a good long holiday... a long holiday...


I hate painting my own toes... scrabble is fun... and I am not too shabby at it...
www.jigzone. com is very entertaining to me...
89mojo aint to shabby... and a good time...

So something exciting in my life... just came to mind... so Dawn asked me to make her a mix tape of Classik Rock... I laughed... I was like I cannot do that on one 80 minute CD... unless I burned a DVD of MP3's... then I think I would be able to do it... so I started a ClassikRock Collection for her... Here are the current volumes she has receieved:
I Pink Floyd
II.i Led Zeppelin
II.ii Led Zeppelin
III Rolling Stones/Doors
IV The Who/Hendrix
V Jim Croce
VI.i MoodyBlues
VI.ii Moody Blues/Lovin' Spoonful
VII Simon & Garfunkel
VIII Paul Simon/George Harrison
IX Traveling Wilburys
X.i Bob Dylan
X.ii Some more Bob Dylan
XI.i Tom Petty
XI.ii Tom Petty/Fleetwood~with the transition song being Stop Draggin My Heart Around... the duet of Petty with Stevie...

and before you're like OMG! she left out yadda yadda yadda... there are in the making... just have to finalized and then do the album art... but all the volumes are burned onto cd's that look like records... and I also make my own sleeves for the cd's too... its very slow at werk... but if you have talked to me at all in teh last couple months... this was what I was talking about... dreaming about... i was slightly obsessed... so... yesh... if you would like to know more please contact me...*shrug*

I still hurt... and this has taken me about 2.5 hours to type... i think i am done... few more things before I go though... i really like everything in lower case letters... i don't like my I's in caps.. nor my name... but its a hard habit to break... the whole not capping I...

I want a R. Brown Bears jersey...

i want to go to a Bears game...

i want a bag of cheetos and there are none in the thingy-ma-bob...

and KT is in charge of that...

so I get cheeto's hopefully this afternoon... however... I will be gone by then...

ok... I miss Chris Bauler...
Oh, Kevin, mags and i are back together...

I think I am going to spend the afternoon finishing ten more volumes to my ClassikRock collection... people should keep me company...

I added a new photo album to this here site....
stolen from Dawn...
*sung in my horrible tone deaf voice...*
a few of MY favorite things...
checkit...

im enjoying the small font and my switching of the alignment...

my ramblings have gone on for far too long..
and I get to leave werk soon...

so this is rachelbrown signing off...
wishing you a good night!!!

p.s. i really like...

cheeto's...
small paperclips...
"..."
and
my dog...
she is soo damn cute..

p.p.s. the hokey pokey
IS
what its all about...

vol. 07 no. 8 iss. 8

fucking a--... just wrote out a long blog and its gone... son of a bitch...

well... not doing it again... maybe later...

BAH!



Let's try this again...

Ok... so this past saturday... i werked... though i wasn't really suppose to... i went in to catch up my weekend grrl on the goings ons of the office...
so they day started ok... not too shabby... well then i signed out the moving truck (bane of my existence) to a client of one of my realtors... well.. she leaves and then calls me at the office shortly there after... she got a mile away from the office and the front passenger tire blew... so i go pick her up and bring her back to the office in order to find her another truck.. since it was my fault that the tire was flat... well i put regina on the task of getting a new truck while i werked on getting a tow truck that can handle a E350... and then getting a new tire put on... so... I get my shit squared away... but regina and the client cannot get another moving truck til about 3 inthe afternoon... the client then decides that she will take it... but then realizes that the crew she has will not be able to help her that late in the afternoon... so i offer to find her a moving crew... she declines the offer... i had done all that i could have... 'til she calls me later and says that her husband would like the help... so i call three knights in shining armor: little grasshopper, kico, and brybry... and i also call my brother... they all are on board for helping me help this lady... seriously.. they were the saviors of that day... well i get the truck fixed and what not... and call the client... she is willing to go another round with the truck... so... the five of us... and then the two clients move her out of a storage unit and into their new home under two hours....
then... i get to werk and a few had heard of my day on saturday... now i didnt ask for praise... i didnt think twice of the fact that i helped the lady... i was pissed that the truck had a flat... and i had to take care of that... so i was pissed... everyone was like you are employee of the month... of the year... you get a gold star... for what? lending a helping hand... i dont want praise for doing something that i would so greatly appreciate done to me... someone said that I represented the office so well that day... if it were anyone else... no one would have gone that extra mile... then that pissed me off... b/c what extra mile... i screwed up that lady's day... she was left with no one to help her... it was the least the very least i could have done... and it aggrevates me to think that no one else would have done that... they would have just been like sorry... that is bull shit... i am sorry... how fucking self centered... i dont want praise... the employee of the month.. of the year... a fucking gold sticker for just being nice... maybe i did represent the office that day... but i represented myself first... if i was in that situation i would love for someone to lend a hand... but i guess being kind to people really was a fad.. something that no one believes in anymore...
thank you boys for helping.. you really did come thru for me... and i give you all the credit... b/c it wasn't just me that lent the hand... i cannot thank you all enough...

moving on... my birthday week was a blast!!! the party was awesome!!! other than the hole in the wall but whatever... its over wtih... good times... one keg... 4 cases of beer and what ever y'all brought to it.... plenty was had.. thanks all for coming!!!! SeanKent next time you are invited somewhere go! not to denny's!!! you owe me lunch... til the next time you are in town...

almost lost this again... hitting select all and the copy.. i hit return and it all went buhbye again... good thing it copied... otherwise I would be soo pissed right now...

well... i think this was about it... sorry about the bitchiness.. but seriously...

oh... vending lady.. still my enemy... i went and out of routine hit A3... f*ing dorito's... so i cursed her... but DawnBrown being the awesome lady she is bought me 50 bags of cheeto's for my bday!!! she;s awesome... so is KT for the carton...

hey if you are interested in playing some fun ass volleyball let me know.. its a gay ol' time... and...

I want my Cheeto's back...

She takes away everything good... the popcorn (which I requested back when I told the boss of my Cheeto's problem)... the Sun Chips... and puts in crap that no one eats...

She takes away everything good...

Ok, its been almost a month since I have filled you all in on my life... this won't be long... I really am only waiting for my toenails to dry...

Let Us Begin...

OK... went to Vegas... and the pic in the other blog is the Nowhere Man from Cirque De Soliel's Beatles Love... It was fucking amazing... and would definitely go back to see it... ten times... its amazing...
The drive home was 34 hours straight in a car... I got the mountains in that wicked snow storm that we got the second week of April... Glad I did the driving at night... couldn't see the beauty of the mountains.. but then I couldn't see how far off a cliff I would have gone if I slid any... it was shitty... but made it home in time for papa william's 50 bday bash!!!

Nothing big really happened in April... really...

Well this week... I have been dying folks since Saturday...
I think that I might have almost fallen into the depths of mono again... cause I dont think that I have slept so much since I had mono... about 13 hours since saturday night... I never left my couch/bed... only for werk...
Feeling almost 100% there is this wicked cough I am dying to get rid of...
And I am dying to stay awake past ten o'clock... but that is a struggle... even with a nap...
And I am dying to get out of the house... I miss many of you...

Michael Franti and Spearhead... are pretty awesome too.. Patrick I will cut you this once I get burnables again...

I am putting out a calling for more Mix Tapes... Love them y'all know that...

Groovy has changed her behavior.... she no longer gets out of the back yard... though she can... she doesnt leave... I love my dog...

I have found the date of which I will be quitting smoking by... fucking Blagojevich... I do beleive I will register to vote... fuckers... check it out... we should all rise against and pickett and protest... and smoke out the capitol or something... I dunno... who doesnt like a drink with a smoke.. I bet even the House all do...

It feels like fucking someone is sitting on my chest... it hurts...

Anyhoo... I think that my toes are almost dry...

Few Last thoughts...

Good Luck to Angie and Jenna tonight...
Good Luck to Mags on Sunday...
Good Luck to Hanna, Caitlin, and Jaime this weekend...

I love the Hurricane by Bobby D.

oh! VOTE WES SULLIVAN FOR MAYOR OF AURORA!!!!

I miss my Little Grasshopper...

2006 Summation Vol. 1

2006 was a hell of a year... this might and it might not be a series of blogs that describe this crucial year for me...

First and foremost... I am eternally grateful to the friends that I had made early on in the year.. DaveBrown, Angie, Jeremiah, Nate, and Maggie... I don't know how I would have turned out if it werent for you guys... then we can move onto Danny, Jessica, LittleGrasshopper, and Dawn... thank you.

There are many more that have made me feel welcome and loved... the Downer House and the whole Denny's Crowd...

I am truly a richer person knowing all of you...

Thank You,
Rachel
