I'm dating a geek

Oh so happy for my Tyler. He's become one of these guys. I'm so proud of him though. He's worked hard at Best Buy for over a year. And he finally got the chance to take the Geek Squad test and of course, he passed with flying colors. Some boys are uber obsessed with cars, my guy is all about the computers. I buy an U.S. Weekly, he gets P.C. Weekly. But I love it, if I have any issue with my computer, it's always fixed. Not to mention, he finally took my parents off dial-up and gave them high-speed internet. Ta da! Hooray for him. I'm pretty sure that his work uniform is the hottest ever and I already told him I want to ride in the bug.

Well the news has FINALLY officially broke (HOORAY) so I can put it out there that my best buds Aaron & Heather are engaged. I'm so excited for them both and have thoroughly enjoyed helping the bride-to-be pick out dresses and think of fun plans. I'm just so happy for both of them. Most importantly they are going to make each other happy!

Fourth of July was great with lots of fireworks and perfect weather. It was a relaxing day save for the part where I accidentally shut my finger in Tyler's car door (ow Ow OW!) -- nothing quite like crying like a little girl in public to make you feel awesome. I think I've permanently killed the nerves in my left pointer finger, I can't really feel much, it sort of has the "asleep" feeling that limbs can get. I hope it heals because typing is difficult and it just feels odd.

The apartment has mostly come together. I've had maintenance guys in every other day for random problems though. Today I have bizarre dripping sounds coming from my kitchen vent. It worries me for sure, but as long as the water doesn't flood my place, I'll not panic. I'm pretty sure housing facilities is on my speed dial and I've met all the technicians, so we're good.

But if you'd like to see how the place came together, visit an album I created. Blogger is being crabby about pictures at the moment.

I just started a new job at Merle Norman cosmetics. It's delightful fun and makes me want to learn how to do makeovers... especially since I'm supposed to be able to provide them if customers ask... dear lord, please don't let me stab someone's eyes out with a mascara wand.

Bullet points:
-- The second Pirates movie came out and I'm very much ready to go see it!
-- I read way too much msn gossip and watch E! True Hollywood Story, but I've decided that people like Naomi Campbell and Brandon Davis do not deserve their money.
-- Hooray! I bought plane tickets to Portland-- oh yeah, I'm going baby!
-- Jenny got married last night. Delightful fun. I think I've been to 3 weddings already this summer and I have more to go. It's beginning to feel a little like a montage from Wedding Crashers.
-- Recently I stole my mom's bike (old 50's style, wicked witch of the west style) and have been riding it all over. I feel retro and cool and am enjoying the summer air on my face.
-- I HATE those Enzyte commercials. You know the ones with "Bob" who's really smiley? Speaking of... Did anyone else hear that Rush Limbaugh got detained for having Viagra without a prescription? HA! Sweet justice! Mr. Conservative family values who calls rape victims "hos" gets caught with a drug that helps you have sex... and hmmm... he's not married. I guess this makes him a big ho too. A big impotent ho at that. HA! I love it when mean people get their comeuppance.

Alright I'm off to enjoy more of my lazy Saturday.
