On friday I went and changed my last name. Its really crazy I cannot get used signing my new name! And ugh tomorrow I have to go back to work. I have no idea what to expect there other than the fact that everything was restructured. I am really nervous to go back. Also I know have to drive from Craig's...eerrrr well I guess our apartment which is further away from work then my mom's house was, and I am not sure what the trafic will be like in the morning, I hope its not too bad. Anyway I should try to get to sleep soon so I can wake up bright and early and go to my job...back to reality...

Ha got your attention didn't I? There is this old man who is a patient at the sleep center. And he is a (semi-retired) photographer. Well the first time he came he told me that I was was beautiful and I should be a model etc....lol. Then later went on to say I should marry an old man then kill him for his money, yeah that is the actual conversation we had.
Well he comes in again and is asking me about when the wedding is. So I tell him. Then he says its "because I need to watch the paper for the headline 200 men commit suicide" Then I look at him with a blank stare. And he says "they will be commiting suicide because they are so upset you are getting married! Ahahaha laughed so hard at that one. Yeah I am like a goddess to the over 80 crowd.
In other news wedding things are comming along, don't want to talk about them too much because I am super duper stressed about it all. Oh yeah and today my one supervisor's assistant comes up to me (after I had asked her some questions about who is covering some things while I am gone) and says "did you turn in a time off request for your wedding?" Me "of course I did that back in februrary". Her "oh" then there is a long pause followed by me saying I have a copy of it right here why what is the problem. Her "uhhh nothing can I have it to make a copy".
Ummmm yeah I turned that in to my supervisor in Februrary, not only did I put it in her in bin I verbally told her, and said I put the request in your bin. So annoying, and thank goodness I copied it or I could be in trouble.

or cutie pie. Ugh there is this really strange patient who comes in frequently and he insists on calling me cupcake or cutie pie. He also invited me to a concert, nevermind that man is older than my parents and still lives with his dad (who drives him to his appointments).
Oh yeah and side note, today in the bathroom at work in the middle of the day I swear there was pubic hair in the sink. I mean what did someone feel the need to go in and uhhh shall we say freshen up in the sink. I really don't even want to know how it got there, and I just hope it was not that weirdo who calls me cutie pie. Other than that just the usual work stuff, I am completely miserable there but fuck with only 4 weeks left till the wedding no time to find another job, it'll have to wait.
On a side note thank you for the card Manda ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) latinaxbonita you are such an awesome friend and I love ya! Seriously you rock. You are such a wonderful and compassionate person, and that is rare to find :) And your card really put a smile on my face!

Oh my goodness I can't believe I am getting married this month. Yesterday I called in sick to work and went with Craig to get our marriage liscense, and we had the bitchiest woman "helping" us. She was rude and at one point told me "no honey you need to write your whole name" and I already had it written.
Then we went out to eat and Craig went back to work, and I went the gyno, big fun. But bonus I got a note saying I was at the doctors so work can't say crap to me. Oh and yay my wedding band and Craig's are in! I love mine. I just paid for Craig's and it is the most expensive thing that I have ever bought (except of course for my car).
Anywho tonight I am just relaxing, I rented videos but don't feel like watching them. (Craig is at a concert with his friend). I thought my mom was going to be home so I got videos but she isn't. So I made myself a white pizza and ate and read a few magazines. Stacie sent me the best gift an hour massage and spa pedicure, I am so excited. It is a wedding shower type gift.
Which brings me to this I did not plan to have a bridal shower since most of my family isn't invited and I wouldn't have a ton of people to come. So I didn't really want to have one. Well Craig's mom planned a tea for me to meet Craig's family (they all live out of state) the day before the wedding. Then in the mail my mom gets an invite that says...
Please come to a bridal shower
For: Irene VanCuren
etc....
where and when: the place the tea is on the day it is
Hosted by: Aunts Sue, Pat, Joan, Nancy, and Diane (who are all Craigs aunt)
My mom had no idea who any of these people were, she thought it was a mistake when she read it. I also was confused, I kept thinking I don't have an aunt with any of those names. Now I don't know how I feel about this because its just his family (and my mom and maybe grandma) who are invited and I don't want the rest of my family and friends (who are comming to the wedding) to feel left out. Plus I think my mom and friends feel bad for not throwing one but I told them not to, but now I think my mom feels like she looks bad because his familyis throwing one.
It's just a strange situation. Anywho here are some pics from the weekend...

So as you may recall I really wanted to stay positive and was trying to use my birthday as a sort of milestone to kick it off. But then today Nazima pulled Kelly into her office and said "You and Irene are trouble makers and I want you both out of here". She said we gossip and yet she is the one in there asking everyone else what they think about one another. She continually tries to get information out of people.
She also pulled in Jennie, Joanne and other various employee's I am sure I will have my turn tomorrow. She also told Kelly that "Irene doesn't do any work" and various other fun things. I am so aggravated, anyone know of any place that is hiring? And the worst part is that I was at the westlake office (and she was at the middleburg hts. office) and I was not even there to defend myself. Now I am so afraid to go to work tomorrow because I know it is going to be awful.

So this is what 24 looks like!
So yeah I am officially 24 and next month I am getting married! At this point last year things were so much different it is amazing what a difference a year can make. Last year at this time I had just quit the daycare, and me and Craig were not engaged. Now I have a job and am about to be married to a fabulous person who I love more than I can even express.
My job may not be wondeful, but it pays the bills, and I make more than most of my friends so really I shouldn't complain. I am actually quite blessed, and things aren't ideal but I need to realize what I have and work hard to get what i want.
I am also so happy I have wondeful friends, and I have even met a few people on here that I talk to all the time and who I don't think my life would be as full without. Last year at this time I was so depressed and this year I am very hopefully and excited. And believe it or not work was ok today, not good, but not excruitiatingly horrible.
Actually I talked to the one Dr. and he said that he talked to his wife (the main problem) and today she was actually decent, though I am sure it is temporary and if she knows I am the one who said something she will get bitchier to me. Well actually today she pretty much avoided me or said two words, but that is way better then berating me and others about a leaf on the floor or whatever other nonsense she can come up with. Or actively trying to turn us against each other and get us in trouble with the doctor.
And tonight I got to see Craig and it was so nice. Oh and I almost forgot Nermin took me out to lunch, and MJ came in on her day off just to bring me a card and present (picture frame and donut!). MJ rocks!
In other news Gibson does not have to be put to sleep but he did have to lose his balls. Poor little guy, but it should hopefully help with the aggresion.

No time for a real update just the usual work sucks, and I am super stressed, and I went in early today and didn't get out until 6:30. Wedding stuff is comming along but still alot to do. Hopefully this weekend I will have time for a real update, but for now I am sick, tired, have cramps, AND my bottom wisdom teeth are comming in and hurt so bad.

So this weekend went super fast, but we got tons of things accomplished. On saturday we booked our honeymoon in Punta Cana (probably not spelling right but too tired to look up and see). And actually we went to book it (with Craig's brother's friends mother who is a travel agent...lol can you follow that). And Craig's parents asked if they could come with us, well they came and they PAID for the entire honeymoon!!! Craig didn't want to let them but they sprung it on us while we were sitting with the travel agent.
We also found wedding rings for me and Craig (after alot of searching). I actually said Craig could just get me a plain gold band because we don't have a ton of money but he said no he wanted to be able to get me diamonds. Haha actually his family (esp. his mom) said the same thing. His mom said she used to be like me, but that I should let him get me the nicer ring etc. And I love the ring and since the his parents paid for the honeymoon I don't feel as bad about the cost.
Me and Craig's mom also found stuff for our centerpieces. Then today me and Craig registered (well started anyway we will add more later, but after awhile I just got sick of being at the store!) at Bed Bath and Beyond. And we officially booked our photographer. And now I am exhausted. Where did the weekend go? We are going to need that wonderful honeymoon to recover from all of this craziness!

We found a photographer. I had a wonderful time with Craig on Fri night and part of Sat. Then I worked out a bunch (yay I have been working out at least 3 times a week for about an hour and a half (a full hour of cardio!). I went tanning, and hung out, and now here I am dreading going to work tomorrow.
Oh yeah and I am freaking out about the wedding (not the marriage mind you), you see I do not like to be the center of attention, and that is one day I will be. Also I am freaking out about getting everything finished in time for the wedding. In other news I ordered myself a ton of stuff (at least a ton for me) from Victoria's secret today as a birthday gift for me (and guess what it is actually going to arrive on my birthday (hehe I didn't plan it that's just when it will arrive with the standard shipping).
Craig may be having a st. patty's day party, but he is not sure yet. But either way I got a wondeful green shirt with a carebear on it, yeah its awesome!

Wow I am so tired, since I played hooky yesterday to get my passport and get a few other various tasks done I decided I'd go in early to catch up. So Nazima comes in and I explain I came early and plan to stay late (maybe for a few days) and she says "oh well I guess if you want". Now normally when you miss you are really encouraged to make it up, so whatever to that.
This guy calls and is lost and says he is at our sleep center and where are we?
Me: I am standing in the lobby and don't see you
Him: Yes I am at the same building I had my sleep study.
Me: Did you have it at middleburg Hts?
Him: Yeah I am stading here now, right by the dialysis clinic.
Me: We are next to the dialysis clinic (and I give him the address.)
Him: No this is where I had it with ______ the technition.
Me: Yes he does work for us but he works in this building not in whatever building you are at.
Him:
Me: Sir I promise you that this address (again give to him) is where our sleep center is, I answered the phone here and I assure you I am giving you the right address. And this is where you came for your sleep study it is the only office we have in middleburg hts.
Him: Umm I don't see it.
Me: Sir I am staring at the dialysis clinic
Him:
Me: Where are you exactly, give me an address.
Him:
Me: Ok I am going to walk outside with the portable, can you see me standing outside?
Him: No
Me: You need to drive down the street, Look in the parking lots, the address is listed... also it has a sign, and I am standing outside.
Then accross the street and diagonal (not accross the parking lot as he described) I see a car pull out
Me: Did you just pull out past the fed ex box?
Him: Yes
Me: Do you see me?
Him:
Me: Ok I see you turn right (while waving my arms and jumping up and down).
Then finally he found us, and he was really nice. Thank goodness he was nice first off he was super late and should have been rescheduled, but we had a slow day so we took him. And actually parts of the conversation got even more absurd but I cannot remember the exact words.
Then of course she added more stuff for me to do/be in charge of. I was so angry today that even though they ordered food I went out (so did Joanne). I am so sick of it there.
Then today I went to the rec and worked out, and then I went tanning (yeah I know its bad for you). I am actually very proud I have been working out at least 3 times a week and I am doing like 40-60 mins of cardio plus some strength training.
Well I am exhausted off to sleep.

People have begun to receive our invitations...it feels very surreal. My mom and brother's came here to the house and it was all I could do to not rip it open before they came home. (remember I played hooky to get some wedding stuff done) I am glad I stayed home but now I really, really do not want to go back.

So Craig's friends are all talking about what they are going to do for his bachelor party, but there is little talk from my friends about my bachelorette party. I better not hage to throw my own party! But I do want one so we shall see. Maybe they just haven't gotten things together but I want a little more enthusiasm for it!
Oh yeah I think tomorrow I am calling in to work tomorrow with a "personal/family emergency". I have wedding stuff I need to get done, and bills I need to pay, and I need to get my passport, etc.
