ALMOST....

At the very tail end of last night, I received two pieces of news that turned the entire rest of yesterday around. I was having something of a sludgy time over the course of the first 11 hours or so, but nearly back-to-back phone calls solidifying the final stages of something I've been trying to untangle for months now served not only as a huge blessing, but a reminder that most of the other fog of the day was menial stuff in the bigger picture.

Also on the roster of things from last night:

coasters!

I fiiinally completed the transfer portion of the coaster-making process on all the sets [+ 2 re-do's, woops] that I had planned. The very last step to these will be the clear glaze, and maybe... just maybe .. reposting a similar shot sometime in the near future after everyone's received theirs and I won't have to hide the pictures with tacky dots. (: Christmas is THIRTEEN days from today, just... FYI. Whoa.

I also received an email earlier in the week from Hahana that our team shirts for both the seasons we played this year were available.

Hahana. Team "Backseat Sets" haha....na.

^^ Merry early Christmas, K, K & B. Hahah.

Lastly, I finally got this sucker in from Marc [shoutout, Edwardsville!!] & have it all set up to add to the rest of them. This really isn't a majestic achievement by any means, but I did have to work up to this for a little bit, so hey, I'm happy (:

boooooyah.... or something like that ;)

So yeah! Those are just some small things that make me remember not to let other things, people or circumstances get under my skin the way I sometimes do. To add to these little benefits, there are some substantially larger things coming my way here in the very near future, and once I have the ground to claim on them, I'll share, too.

Piggybacking off of work-related things, our bosses bought us an early little Christmas bonus, which is just rrrrrrrright up my alley if you know anything about me and my above-average affinity for blankets:

"soft" doesn't even begin to describe this thing...

^ Drooooool. This throw's going to have to stay here in the office, because if I take it home and sleep with it, I might never again get up. Winning (:

I. Am. Blessed. It may seem stoic and redundant, but it's true.
Now on to an evening to spend with my parents, back home in my favorite place the world: their house.

the house that built me... [miranda lambert]

Happy weekend!

Pre-Thanksgiving Roundup

As we all expected, today was about as quiet as we could stand in the office, with the holiday weekend approaching and most people busying themselves with that. Dave & Nancy are in Florida, but called us to cut us loose a little early. Nobody complained [thank you, D&N!!]

We whipped up a quick dinner at home before rendezvousing with the funky bunch for a couple of hours down at the Banks. The Moerlein Lager House was our destination, where we found Kalyn & Keifer, Brittany & Joe, Jackie, Jess & Tim, and even Chris, for a short bit. While it's a little out of our usual taste, a change of scenery never hurts. Besides, it was an easy night for all of us; a few of them are doing the Turkey Trot tomorrow morning, and we've gotta be on the road northward to Mt. Vernon pretty early, too.

Happy almost Thanksgiving, blogbots! Get your appetites ready for all that yummy food we'll see tomorrow!!

Food, Football, Addicting Games & Tornado Warnings

As I promised, I headed off to SonRise this morning for my second installment of the Relentless series. I'll tell ya what, when there's a message meant specifically for you, it's meant FOR you. This time it was all about maintaining relenting faith under pressure, under unfavorable odds and especially when we are called to step outside of our comfort zones.

 

I checked the church's website, but they've not yet uploaded the podcast of today's message. I did however, find the one that rocked Rob and I last week; it's never too late to share some good news. It's a little long [well, standard sermon length but timely for a blog entry], but it's good nonetheless.

 

Enjoy, and I'll try to get today's up here ASAP.

After work, I had two goals:
1. Retrieve my debit card from P.F. Chang's from last night, where I signed my bill and left my card in the little holder thing. [You can face palm that one, it's okay.]
2. Make it out to Brittany's house.

I accomplished the first, and the second greeted me with a welcoming surprise: they had cooked brunch and had it laid out pretty much in front of me when I walked in the door. It wouldn't be a complete experience without scrambled eggs, homemade hasbrowns, fresh fruit, bacon [not for this allergic kid, womp womp...] & of course, mimosas.

And then.. an afternoon cozied up watching the Bengals game.
It's about TIME...we whooped up on the Browns.

cozying up to some WHODEY action!

I noticed at one point during some replays that all four of my friends were curled around their cell phones playing CANDY CRUSH. I couldn't help but take a picture, for the sake of showing them the visible proof of their addictions. Joe even looks to be fist pumping a victory over a level. I'm not judging; honestly, I've never even thought to play it, but it's still fun watching and hearing other people do it.

candy crush-aholism.
brittany. joe [yesssss! #fistpump]. kalyn. keifer.

Keifer eventually headed out for work, and the daylight started to wear down. We started watching North Country, but were thwarted by all the tornado warnings and watches going on in the area. It was literally raining sideways across Brittany's backyard, and all over the news were pictures of damage here locally, but more seriously devastation in parts of Illinois and some other areas. My heart broke for the people caught in the path of this, and I am so thankful that, even though we ate dinner [delicious, thank you, Joe!] in the basement and had weather alerts as background music through it, that we and those all around us are safe, untouched by the storm.

little red riding pup!

^ Daisy, especially, seemed grateful for another night cozying up to everyone on the couch.. and now that her cone is gone, she's as happy as ever. So is little Maddie, creepin' there in the background.

I'm home now, glad to have the rain and wind gone.
It's another week to conquer, starting tomorrow.
I'm ready. (:

Brittany's Birthday Bonanza

First,
ALLEGIANT [the book] SPOILER ALERT:

TRIS PRIOR DIED TODAY [during my reading time].
[... fictional character in a fictional book. don't panic]

I'm not a happy camper.

 

I couldn't even read past the end of that particular chapter today while I was lounging on the couch absorbing more of the book. I just.... WHY!?! I haven't finished the whole thing yet, but I have a feeling my warm fuzzies aren't going to be restored. 

It was probably a good thing that I couldn't complete all my reading; I conquered the way-overdue task of top-to-bottom cleaning parts of my house, ran some pesky but important errands and had some time to relax before the meat of the day was underway.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BASH, BRITTANY!!!

Before I knew it, the daylight started to fade out and I was out the door en route to Kalyn's. I met up with her and Keifer, and the three of us gated over to PF Chang's for Brittany's birthday dinner.

... and it was just that. A great crowd, good food and hilarious people. I think everyone, all along our last supperish looking arrangement, was having a blast.

kara. kalyn. mama linda. brittany

group shot!

After dinner, it was off down 50 to Tostado's for some karaoke. We definitely had some fun but agreed that perhaps next time we'd find somewhere a little less crowded, with a few more decent singers. ;) 

too much fun, they are!
meg. beth. cori. kalyn. brittany. kelsey.

........Then again, there was us, belting it out like we didn't care, so I suppose I take that back. Everyone deserves a good karaoke session. Maybe we'll just find somewhere next time without a 2-hour wait to do it.. hehe.

Witness the magic for yourself!

*Sigh. I have amazing friends.

That was a wrap on the night, and after dropping everyone off at their final destinations, we headed back to K&K's so I could snag my car and come home.

 

Happy birthday, Brittany! (:

Just a Lil' Rhinegeist Wednesday

Three of the three office staff here thought it was THURSDAY [for some reason?] for nearly three quarters of the day. No. It's only Wednesday, but that just goes to show that we're too busy to notice what day it is... which is good, right? Either that, or Nikki, Elisa and I have just completely lost our minds and are headed into whackadoodleland together. It's probably the latter, but nobody's really counting.

BUT, I'm glad it's only Wednesday, because Kalyn & I made a rough sketch plan over this past weekend to take a trip down to Rhinegeist tonight. She & Keifer had never been, so I was pretty excited to see their reactions when we walked in [totally worth it, btw].

Visuals are a much better [& easier, let's face it] descriptive of the shenanigans that ensue when my friends and I try to do hoodrat things. We're so gangsta, it's SICK.
......
....
........ ok, we're not even close to being gangsta, whatever that really means anyway. We just have fun, no strings attached, and that's that. Plus, we're all local beer enthusiasts with little kid spirits, so give us a brewery with GAMES in it, and we can definitely handle it from there. (:

So here ya go. Meet the monsters I roved around with tonight ♥

keifer. kalyn. cori. beth. meg. tim

We're a funky bunch, yes we are..

you pretty little thing, you. {cougar golden ale}
rhinegeist brewery | cincinnati, oh

It didn't take us long, at all to start getting weird. Shocking, I know.

First it was Kalyn & Tim trying to do handstands on a bench. They ended up just jumping off the thing multiple times while I tried to take a picture of it. Our voted favorite was the one in which I cut off Tim's head on accident [in the picture, that is]; the composition is actually pretty cool:  

kalyn & tim, flying high

Then we hit up the ping pong tables & hula hoops.

Here's that mini-story:
&...

Short-lived fun, but HEY!, that's okay, because RG has cornhole, too.
That being said, please tell me how many times you've seen THIS actually happen and NOT fall in by the end of a round:

c'mon, really?

^ Only us. Tim and I ended up on a team vs. K&K, and somehowwwww, we blew a 7 point lead and lost the game. In our defense, nobody really knew the score but we all just agreed that they won.

tim & i present:
the faces of [cornhole] losers... who took the first picture & realized they both
looked respectively a) pathetic & b) creepy. the second is less of both.

And the winners, celebrating their victory as a totem pole:

yeah.. yeah.. yeahhhhh... :)

We developed the bright idea to do some more stuntwork.. which was only hilarious because Tim did NOT smash his face into the floor like the rest of us would have. He's agile like that. Haha.

I've.. Had.. The time of my liiiiiiife... and I owe it all to youuuuu...

Pretty entertaining, boys.
More stunts, you say? How about two at a time? Here's a 24-second reason why they'd probably never let us in the circus. (:

^ We're... somethin', that much I do know. Haha.

Our last endeavor for the night? PLANK... at Rhinegeist.
Planksonplanksonplanks..... Plankapotamus... Plankasaurus.. plank plank plank (:

plank love ♥ haha
keifer. cori. kalyn.

The mustard brigade just successfully planked in the middle of a historic brewery, and well, that is that (:

adore adore adore them.

This was definitely not a bad way to spend the evening; I spent the last two nights at home so it was a nice change of pace to get out and about for a little while tonight. Plus, I was back home by 10pm, so really it wasn't a stretch to hang out for a bit. Plus, who can complain about the company & the venue?
Oh man.
I'm goin' to bed (:

[Encouragement] Exactly When You Need It

Rob and I went to church this morning.
.... An hour early.

Woops. I've been out of town for the past several weekends, and with everything that's happened over the past few days, all I knew was that we were going to church. Why I thought it was at 10am, I'm not sure... but we filled the idle time with breakfast before heading back for the 11am service.

Today was one of those days that I .. just .. knew He would have something in store for us. It's been a stressful time over the past few days, and though it's all settled now, there are still other [unrelated] challenges for us to face together in the very immediate future, and it's not going to be a walk in the park. I couldn't count how many times I've closed my eyes even for just seconds to pray over all of this, for the answers to be revealed, whether in our favor or not, and for some sort of direction. Most of all, I'm praying for tenacity. We are all called at points to be a rock for someone else, and I feel that right now that's my position. So some courage, tenacity and some direction are things I'm after these days.

And then Pastor Jeff hit us with this [I want MORE]:

sonrise series: relentless

^ This is the series in session right now at SonRise. PJ wasted no time unfolding this to us, digging specifically into the life of Abraham and the life of change he endured at the most unexpected times. Today's installment of the series posed the question,

"How can I be relentless with my faith to change?"

I was glued to my seat, and as I saw Rob nodding occasionally in my peripherals, I knew I wasn't alone.  Call me stoic here, but the hour and some change that we spent listening to this message today was a pivotal point for me.. for us.. in realizing our own potential if we can just clear away the doubt and replace it with faith. I hate to admit that I walked into church today feeling not entirely defeated.. but certainly deflated and a little lost in the clutter of our current situation.


from illinois to ohio...

We are in the process of relocating Rob from Illinois to Ohio. Like I said, that's not going to be an easy feat for either of us. Until he has his feet firmly planted in a solid job here, I will bear some of the weight of sustenance. Adversely, when he leaves Illinois, there will be family and friends in his absence that he won't see every day. He'll be in a new city, and - for a touch of humor in it all - he'll be stuck with me as a primary friend.. at least immediately. ;) . But really, this is going to test us on a multitude of different levels because there is never a guarantee that any given plan will run its course without deviation or hurdle, but today I was reminded that if I - if we - are RELENTLESS in our faith, then we will focus on the next step, one at a time, reminded that while change does require sacrifice, we will never be given more than we can handle.

I definitely have something new to reflect on and pray over during devo time this week (:

After church, we stopped by the house to unwind for a little before heading to Brittany's to watch the game. Rob hadn't been to her house yet, so it was nice to show him around and of course to see Brittany & her boyfriend Joe, Kalyn, Keifer, Kara & her friend McKayla. We hung out there for a little bit before Keifer had to split out for work. Shortly after that we followed him down to Bakersfield for some grub to end out the day.

bakersfield tacos. nobody's mad. (: (: (: (:

And since Keifer was working, of course there were some spirits a-flowin'. Kalyn ordered a round of this stuff [let's just say it's clear and you take it with salt+lime].. we're a goofy bunch but I love 'em.

kalyn. rob. brittany. joe
tequi, tequi, tequiiiila...

We left Bakersfield and now we're here, at home, watching Olympus Has Fallen, which is probably going to give me nightmares about our country going under seige in a sheerly apocolyptic way. Go figure; I should've known better, watching an action flick with the main protagonists being who they were. I'm a big fan of Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart, so I suppose it wasn't a total loss.

A few days ago I wasn't sure just how this weekend would go, but today, all the way around was testament that right here, right now, we have the unwavering faithfulness of the God we serve, and the friends next to us that are there.. really there.. when we need them. It's the month of being thankful, and on this 10th day of it, I am absoLUTELY thankful for what we have, including the struggles that will fortify us for pursuing through them. [BE RELENTLESS! ;) ]

Rob leaves tomorrow to head back to Illinois and I've gotta be up to beat Monday morning to the punch, so we'll say good night for now (:

Volleyball Troopers!

Bro, it's cold outside.

hello, empty courts....

I was the first of our clan to show up tonight, and was hesitant to even leave my car. Yeah, it was that chilly. So while I waited, I figured I'd document the two conflicting feelings of getting out of the car.

selfie moments: #wevegotthis & #ormaybenot

But hey, good news for 3 of our 4-man volleyball squad? We're all seasoned to the midwest weather. Keifer, unfortunately is still reeling a little in the stark contrast of the bitter chill here vs. the temps in Phoenix, but I have to give him credit for hanging in as long as he did tonight.

jameson = liquid courage + a little warm-up ;)

The sand was pretty frigid, but we trekked out there anyway, with a little inner warmth as encouragement [thank you, jameson]. We found our balance of inner warmth and prickly-cold sand, and coupled with the usual Hahana crowd of volleyrats, it turned out to be a fun little night!

shoes & all!

oh, how i love 'em.

Yep, it's October... and it's getting cold, and we are still.... going to play outdoor volleyball. We already agreed snowsports are in the near future, but until that happens, we're milkin' the sand for all it's worth ;)

♥♥♥♥

Stay warm, blogbots!

Job Fairs & WCW

It was that time again today : Job Fair Time!


hello, from the job fair!

Nancy & I spent the bulk of the day downtown at the hiring event, which was a huge success! It's nice every now and again to mix up the day and get out of the office. Today was the perfect opportunity for that, and we walked away having accomplished a lot more than we'd bargained.

Wednesday WIN!

Oh, and since it's Woman-Crush-Wednesday, in the spirit of honoring my woman crush... Becky bought us tickets to see HOPE SOLO in a couple weeks at the National game between US & New Zealand... and I... cannot wait.

hope solo. my woman crush. get over it.

Woo! USWNT! Anyway, it's off to volleyball before I'm late... hasta luego, amigos (:

Falleyball Season!

It's gettin' chilly here in Cinci...

But that won't stop us ;)
It was volleyball night, again, and now that we're playing on a 6's league, we're getting a taste of how that works.... as a 4's team. Haha. Apparently, at Hahana, the 4's teams traditionally opt out of playing fall sessions; we didn't know that, so we renewed for the fall only to find ourselves as the only team on the 4's roster.

So they moved us to 6's.
... We still play as 4's.
..... & we won tonight. SCOOOOORE.


fall volleying at hahana!

It's our style typically to hang around Hahana until nearly 11pm some weeks, but with a private event tonight at Hahana and the fact that it was getting a bit brisk, we chose to call it an early end around 9, grab some grub from Village Tavern in Newtown, and rendezvous at Kalyn & Keif's new place for a couple of hours. Volleyball, pizza & brew - that's a no-brainer....

village tavern | newtown, oh

Just a couple more days and I'm off to see le boyfriend.....

Volleyball & a Video

There's a song out that is apparently very popular right now.
I of course just heard about it, because I'm nowhere near being the first person to be in-the-know with new trends like this.

Anway, it's a song by an Australian teenager that has made it huge here in the states. It's catchy as all get out, but better than that, my favorite acapella group picked it up and smashed a home RUN with it. I haaaaaaave to share:

^ STOP IT, PENTATONIX... I can't even handle how incredible you are.... haha. That is a killer cover!!

Anyway, today was a good day. The cut on my finger that I sustained Monday night [forgot to mention that] does not need stitches I decided.. and it's healing on its own despite the divet I took from the edge of it. Woops.

good job, self.

Good thing.. because tonight was volleyball! Paul even made an appearance to help us out; we are apparently on a 6's league now so it's going to be the four of us sans Paul for the rest of this season. Oooh well.

hahana!

We managed to close the daggone place down, just about. FIVE hours later, we stopped playing and I was back home, and hankering for some fried rice. Don't ask why. Luckily for me, I'm Asian so this was a cinch, and in no time I was inhaling the stuff at both an alarming and embarrassing rate.

Whatev.

carb loading... haha...

So uhhh yeeeeup! Not a bad little Wednesday.. but I'm definitely spent.

Seeee ya tomorrow (:

Fallish Mondays

I said a few days ago that it is starting to finally feel like Fall! I'm not typically a girlish person, nor have I ever been a trendsetter of any sort, but I admit I was a little excited today to break out the autumn color pallet and boots. I love boots. It's beanie & boot season, now.

I'm pumped.

fall colors, here we come!

 Oh, and yenno what else was pretty daggone awesome today?

yeah. buddy!!

I took to the house to wrap up a few things there before heading out to Salem Gardens to meet up with Kalyn & Keifer to watch the game. I declined a couple of invitations to tailgate tonight at the stadium because 1] I wasn't going to the actual game, 2] traffic/parking down there is a heinous affair not worth the stress, and 3] I'm an old lady apparently incapable of functioning during the work week if I'm up too late. And that would have been way.. too late. The three of us barely made it to the third quarter before we opted to finish it up at home after some grub & a few drinks.

We're apparently all old folks; I don't feel so individually guilty. Haha. Either way, the good old Cats brought a WIN on home turf against the Steelers, which means my father and uncle [born/raised in Pittsburgh] will likely not speak to me for a week now... haha.

Kinda-sorta-short week this week; we're Detroit-bound Friday!

Life's A Beach!

To say that today is an improvement from yesterday is something of an understatement.
I feel... exponentially better than I did this time 24 hours ago. Though still stuffy, my head has stopped pounding and I can actually breathe through my nose today. Wiiiiin!

To celebrate, we got a big job order at work today, thanks to Nikki, who is rockin' this boat and turning my day back into what I'm used to: a challenge! [in a good way!!] In staffing, your sales team is a building block that you must have, and to say that Nikki is solid in that regard is barely scratching the surface. We're on a roll!

Oh, and Nancy surprised us with some love from her most recent trip to Florida. It's small, but adorable and oh-so-Nancy of her. I love it.

{a tiny} day at the beach {for everyday here}! | thanks, nancy!

^ Each of us got one; Elisa and I have started the countdown to the minute when one of us knocks this thing over and sand goes everywhere. We're both clutzy often enough - me way moreso than her - I'm preparing myself now to clean up a mess. Haha. It's cute though, and completes the little paradise in the corner of my desk: Sydni, Rob & me, my orchid, a thank you card from Elisa, owl from Ali and now my little beach. It's the small things (:

After work = volleyball!
We're out, after falling just short of victory in tournaments, but I'm not that mad about it. It was our first season together, and again - Keif's never played volleyball before this, Beth hasn't played since high school, and Kalyn & I haven't played on a league together in 3 years. All things considered, we did just fine, so we hopped across the street post-game for dinner at Fifty West. It was... a unique experience.

fifty west brewery

Not a bad way to end a Wednesday. Now all I have to do is get the lawn mowed and pick up a piece of dry-cleaning that's been sitting there for nearly a month because I'm too lazy to stop and get it.. haha. {First world problems} Is it bad that I've already started anticipating my next weekend trip to IL.. at the end of the month? Hah.. oh boy.

Thank goodness for 4-day weeks, yeah?

Sandy Weenis: The Reunion!

Today was a blur. That's not a bad thing, and I know I was productive, but at the end of it I was left kind of wondering what I did all day. I know I'm not the only one this happens to; Elisa said the same thing when 4:45 rolled around. So TAKE THAT, Wednesday!

Of course Wednesdays = volleyball, which always gets us excited. Beth was out tonight, so our friend and former teammate Paul stepped in. So good to see an old face!

paul. cori. kalyn. keifer.

Paul, Kalyn & I played together on a team with Tim back at Grand Sands a few years back and wound up winning the league, as team Sandy Weenis. For those of you somehow unfamiliar with what a weenis is....  it's your outer elbow. I don't know why that was the first place we went with our team name then, but it worked and was kinda funny.

Now, as team Backseat Sets [it's customary to have strangely-insinuating team names in sand volleyball leagues], we've not had the best streak all season but I expect the next go-round to be a bit better.

Meh. Thanks again, Paul, for standing in with us tonight!

Tomorrow = Thursday = almost Friday = almost the weekend!
Also = finish the daggone edits tomorrow night and get them posted.
.... I will, I will. I promise.

Happy Hump Day!

Birthday Volleyball & Bakersfield Friends

Happy Birthday, Beth!!

It's always special when there's a birthday to celebrate and it falls on the same night as league volleyball ;). Today is Beth's birthday, so we made sure we had a little extra fun at Hahana tonight. It wasn't much, but it came in the form of some extra games with one of our favorite neighboring teams and of course, lots of laughing. The best news? This is the best we've played all season; I have no doubt we're ready for the more organized stuff that Kalyn & I did a few years back. Exciting stuff. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BETH!!!! (:

I am still exhausted from my lack of sleep yesterday; I snuck in a short cat-nap today between work and volleyball, and planned on heading straight back to bed after volleyball. That would've worked out just fine if it hadn't been for Jamie texting me an invite out with the group for dinner. I would've politely declined today, but he leaves on Sunday to head back to Jordan and I'm not sure when I'll see him next. So good to see an old friend!

Great to See You, Friend!!

Thanks to James & his pretty fiancé Carolina, Nader, Eli, Keith & Rick for hanging out for a bit at Bakersfield [*note, go there, people, and get yourself a taco!!] to end the night.

I really need to catch up on sleep... holy moly. Tomorrow night is going to be filled with absolutely nothing up until what I'm sure to be an early bed time.

Return of the Pozitive Peerz!

So first things first, Matt Ladd sent me this picture overnight of a certain one of our friends who is home visiting from his job overseas for a few weeks. I've made it my mission to see him before he leaves. This, along with a multitude of other reasons are why...

2008 v. 2013 : the shirt survives!!!

^ Catie and I bought Jamie that shirt at a thrift store for $2, sometime back in 2008. The whole thing stemmed from a joke about Catie & I on one of our purposed missions into the thrift world; we came back with this gem and apparently he's held onto it all this time. This guy completes the quartet that I more affectionately call The Twigs , but of which I for some reason have ZERO pictures of all together. Whatever. I... LOVE it... & can't wait to see this guy asap.. 

see? i tried.. 3 at a time is the best our cameras ever got..
[& shouts to catie, deanna, whit, nala & amanda for cameos!]

Ahhh.. eventually. We'll get there.

Tonight was volleyball; we ended up playing a double-header since another team's competition bailed. We're still a little behind on posting those W's, but for a group whose never played all together, one of which has never played at all in the first place, we're getting better! Just wait until next session rolls around.. I think we voted on the Sandbar, so that will be the real test of how we do.

harbor view + spirits + sand volleyball? win.win.win.

This week has felt exceptionally long for only being four work days for me. I'm interested to see what the last two days hold before I get Sydni and she, [hopefully] Rob & I head up to good old Mt. Vernon for Dad's birthday.

 

Almost there! (:
