Sex and the Country

3 Months...lots of B.S.
It hardly seems appropriate to call this "Sex and the Country" anymore.
So I think I'll start a new Blog.
- We moved to Milwaukee.
- We really are not having sex that often.
So I think I'll start a new Blog.

My 200th Post
Shit. I'm exhilerated. The miracle of the Ipod on JBL dock. I call it my magic dougnut. Tomorrow is my last day of training EVER. It is bittersweet and shall have no ceremony because my clients have no idea I'm quitting. No more fighting bugs and being embarrased on behalf of my employer. Also no more fun commeraderie or my dumb jokes meant to keep people engaged. I love the process of teaching...
and seeing all the offices. Feeling like an expert.
The exotic travel to places like Cleveland.
My hotel room flooded and the Residence Inn contacted me at the office (I had my cell off during training.) The people above me left thier bathtub on of all things. So I gave them verbal permission to move my shit to another room.
They moved me to a penthouse sweeeet. and kissed my ass for apology. I just told them it was funny and sorry they had to move all dirty underwear.

Shoot Me...I'm in Cleveland
and I've been shopping obsessivley. It's been two weeks. twoooooo weeeks in Cleveland...ugh.
I've been trying to stick to Weight Watchers but I'm homesick and mensturating so I've been blowing my points.
But! This will be my last trip for my current employer. I've accepted a job in Brookfield for another engineering firm. My salary is going to go from 48K to 58K!!! but its not much of a raise once you consider the cost of living in Milwaukee area is substantially more. My last day at the old bad place is April 7th. I padded in a week off. yay. I cant wait to leave. The timing is pretty convieninet.
Lazlo got a job in Milwaukee also. In his case, he applied in November...interviewd in February and dosnt start until June.
In my case I had a former co-worker tip me off on the job. I interviewed the following Wednesday, got an email on Thursay that was very positive, then got an offer and accepted on Friday. Thier eagerness to have me freaks me out a little bit. It's a "real" engineering firm unlike the one I am working at right now. I will be expected to do engineer stuff like build urban sprawl. But it feels like I am paving over a fresh field of opportunity. I want my PE. I want project management experience. These are things I am not getting at my current place. I'm sick of teaching classes where the training laptops are constantly crashing. The software is so full of bugs, there are features I DREAD teaching. Not to mention the management fiasco that is my employer. I've been operating without a formal job description for over a year.

Punching it up a bit
Last year at MC's party.
I just ate a bunch of olestra potato chips. I wonder if i will suffer anal leakage.
Why do male figure skaters look so damn gay? They really need to stop dressing like a drawerful of ladies panties attacked them.
Speaking of gay, I just bought a membership to www.blacksonboys.com. I am so...somewhere between ashamed and amused with myself.

Putting the ACK! back in Akron.
My birthday party wasn't all that. But the photos are funny. The all girl thing wasn't as fun as I had hoped but...there is an ass picture out there somewhere to harrass the young bride on her day!
I joined weight watchers. Starving...please send mashed potatoes and gravy.
Picture of my poopie bear cuz I love her soooo much. Miss her more than Laz.
Laz accepted a job at another school doing what he does now. I have mixed feelings. My job is fun and I'm great at it. But the management is sucking. and the travel is annoying. and platteville is far away from my family and i and eager to live where i grew up again. and i cant stand the house we live in. im not sure if im talking myself into this or not. i'll miss all the platteville people. and the dubuque people. ugh. hell I may have to rename my blog to "Sex and the Non-Descript Industrial-Mid-size City."

The Engagement
When I think of it I will post a picture of my ring. I love it. It is platinum with a 1.02 ct princess cut center-stone, flanked by 1/4 ct side diamonds, also princes cut. It is exactly what I wanted.
He gave it to me December 23rd...and while I knew this was coming sometime, I was not expecting it then. We opened presents. I gave him a 74" level, a bottle of Gentleman Jack, a box of puzzles, a "real men own schnoodles" t-shirt and a garage organizer thingy. He gave me a Homedics back massager, Sims 2 Nighlife expansion pack, PJ's, a coat I wanted and a hand made jewelery box. Now, I know he had been making jewelery boxes all fall for the women in his life. He made some for my sisters and our mothers and his bro's girlfriend. MINE came with a bonus. He had me open it last. He packed the box from Weber Brothers in layers of red velvet. I gasped. Be fore he let me open the Weber Bros box, he took my hands and was kind of shaking (like on our first kiss) and goes, this is not just a 'will you marry me ring', but it is also a 'will you love me for the rest of your life ring'" and of course I said yes!!
Over x-mas we saw my family and his family. It was fun to get congratulated so much.
I'm off to bed I have a mother fucking training class to teach tomorrow. Mother fuckers.

Sault Ste. Marie
so far so nice but so cold.
its almost like another country up here...in fact it is Canada.
Lazlo and I are engaged! I have 1.5 cts on my left hand to prove it.
Daisy has been doing well in school. This week we practiced the look command.
My little sister is in Equador and so far this is what she has to say:
At work we moved cubies and I want to shoot myself.

Everything is going well so far although I will be a little bored until classes start on monday. I have an orientation meeting on Friday where I will meet the other new teachers and hopefully some new friends. The weather and the mountains are beautiful. Don´t worry I am being careful and letting my room mates show me around. I am thinking of getting a pay-by-month cell phone so that you can call me, otherwise I would have to go to an internet/telephone cafe to make calls. I will let you know as soon as I have a phone number.
I got a very bad haircut today but I guess that´s what happens when you can´t speak a language fluently. Apparently ¨Mas corta¨ means ¨please make me look like a lesbian.¨ Luckily it will grow out before you guys ever see me.
All my love,
me
At work we moved cubies and I want to shoot myself.

St. George Utah
Ugh.
Its really pretty here.
I really want Lap-Band surgery. I applied to my insurance to have this done. We'll see if they say yes. I fucking hope so. I'm tired of fighting with my body. I can't make it up stairs. My asthma is killing me. My knees hurt all the time. Not to mention I feel like an amorphous blob. Food is the enemy and I can't keep it at bay with willpower alone.
I don't want to be a chubby bride.
Not that I'm going to be a bride anytime soon...but I'm thinking it will happen eventually.
The company Christmas party was Saturday. SOOOOO boring. It was the exact same party as last year. I got drunk really quicky in hopes that the tense vibe between the popular crowd and the engineers would subside.
The next morning I couldn't lift my head till 10 am.
Yeah.
Sunday Lazlo and I has a little dinner party with his coworkers and spouses. We played this really hard game called Therapy. Lazlo made roast and mashed sweet potatoes. I really enjoyed it. For desert I served "White-trash-imisu" a version of tirimisu I dumbed down because MC told me that Child bride thought she might be preggers. Apparently not, because she had a glass of wine.
M seemed like she was on the verge of either smacking MC's Child Bride or breaking down into tears. There was a strange vibe in the air and I doubt any of the guys caught on. I tried to engage them in mutually non-controversial conversation, but I gotta tell you... the Child Bride is hard to work with. She doesnt know how to have a conversation about anything that doesn't relate directly to her. Its okay to talk about yourself periodically...I mean hey, look at me. But she lacks the maturity to understand when it is time to back off and just listen. I don't dislike her nearly as intensley as M does, but I do think she's an immature priss. A Self-rightous, self-absorbed, immature, controlling, priss.
