Back to the grinder and makin' that dough. :P

Music: "Force of Gravity," by BT ft. JC Chasez :)


Well, it's been fun, folks, but I can hear the call I've been dreading for the past 10 days..yep, it's walmart telling me it's time for me to return. Back to annoying Emily (she has no clue), annoying customers (the ones who are only out to pick fights). But, I get to see Marcel, who I haven't seen for two, almost three weeks. I can't wait to ask him how his cruise went! Let's see, I'm working the next eight days straight, but there's really no reason to fuss, because I've been out for 10 days. It's going to be fun. O.O

So what did I do this time around...well, the first night (Thursday) was spent watching movies. Friday I went with Jessica (Mustang girl lol) to Deerbrook. Had fun shopping and catching up on each others lives. I had not seen her since March..it didn't seem like it was that long.


Saturday Amy drove us out to Baybrook. I finally found some Converse shoes! I found them at Journeys. They had my size, and in the right color (purple), so that was my early birthday present. Amy and I looked all over the mall. She got some ideas on what to get me for my birthday. ;)


On Sunday, my parents and I went to Galveston, since we hadn't had a beach day in I don't know how long. The weather was great, although a little windy. The waves weren't all that great, but I did manage to catch a couple on my board. :D There were also a couple of surfers out there, too, much to my excitement. I'd really like to learn how to surf! Down the seawall, towards one of the jettys, there was a whole mess of them. God, I wish I could have just sat out there and watch them. I could watch them for hours...it's so entertaining! It was also the day before the anniversary of Hurricane Ike. Not much has changed. It's pretty much the same.


The next few days were pretty much spent at home, although Wednesday I did some running around. Friends were busy or just being plain weird, so I decided to leave them be. On Thursday, I went to Baytown with my mom. I went to Old Navy, and we both went to Kohl's. The rest of the day was spent packing for the weekend. 


Friday I went out to Katy. My sister had to work, so I got dropped off at her office where she works. She had some running around to do, so I went and sat out by the pool (my sister works at an apartment leasing office). It wasn't time for the kids to get out of school yet, so the pool was completely deserted. It was awesome having the pool to myself, but still a little boring. The water was freeeezing. But listening to the water was peaceful and relaxing. :)  

Jessica came back and we left not too long after. We ran back to her apartment, and I 'moved in' (haha). She changed clothes, then we went to Katy Mills to look around. Jess wanted something to wear out that night. She finally found a cute top, and we left, thinking we still had plenty of time to get back, eat, take showers and get ready. Her friend texted her, and said they were already at the place we were supposed to meet at. It was only 7:30! We were pissed. So we ditched the eats, and the shower, and literally ran back to her apartment and scrambled to get ready. 


We met some of Jess' friends at Baker Street Pub. It was a cool place. I met her friends, Janette, Stacy, and Tammy. I knew Tammy already from Cole's party. We all sat outside and talked and drank, and her friends got to know me a little. After a little while, we all headed for Mo's country bar. The place was a little crowded, but we had fun. We drank and danced and drank some more. I liked Jess' friends. They were all pretty cool. We didn't stay out late. Tammy met my sis and I back at Jess' apartment. We ate pizza and Whataburger to try to sober up. My sister passed out on the stairs after Tammy left. She laughed because she thought that was where she was going to spend the night, and made fun of me, because I wasn't managing them any better. :P Everyone had a good time. :)


Saturday we got up and Jess had to run a couple of errands. After that, we stopped off at Starbucks, then she took me out to the outlet mall, because I'd never been. After getting a little lost trying to find a Walgreen's (don't ask haha), we made it to the mall. I was impressed, because I didn't think they had as many stores as they did. They have everything. We stopped off in Areopostale, and each of us found something. After some walking around, window shopping, and dodging some rain, we grabbed a snack and headed back to Katy. I was a little disappointed we didn't get to see everything, but there will be other times. 


We got back to the apartment and watched a little tv, then started getting ready to go out again. We met Jim at Lupe Tortilla (MMMMM yummy), and had dinner. Then we went back to Baker Street. We were meeting different people this time. Elizabeth and her fiancee got there, and we talked and I watched them drink. I wasn't in a drinking mood to be honest. One was enough for me. I was content with watching the Sooners game on tv, and talking and laughing, until my back started hurting. I was hoping Jess would want to go home after leaving the pub, but the three wanted to go to Midnight Rodeo (almost next door to where my sis lives). When Jess and I got in the car, I asked if she wouldn't mind taking me back to her place. She could tell I wasn't feeling up to going to the next place, and I felt bad leaving like that. Jess offered to come back with me, and said she didn't mind, but I told her to not let me ruin her night, to go out and have fun, and not ditch her friends. Jess told me she wouldn't stay at the Rodeo long, that she didn't plan on being there all night.


Jess took me back to her apartment, and said she was sorry I wasn't feeling well. I looked at the pool on the way in, and made a comment about how I wish they'd had a hot tub. That's when she suggested I take a warm bath with epsom salt to help with the pain. I did just that. It felt great. After getting out and dressed, I remembered Jess had started a load of wash before we left. I dried all the clothes, and took the out and folded everything. I figured it was the least I could do. After that, I turned on my laptop, and finally settled down to watch a movie. It was 2am by that point, and I started to wonder. I kept hearing garage doors opening, but no doors opened, and no footsteps. Finally about 2:15, I hear the garage door open, and her car pull in. She said 'mommy I'm home!'. She asked me did the salt help, and I said yes. 


Jess had a mission before going to bed. Elizabeth had twisted her ankle before she went out, and after wearing heels and dancing all night, obviously she had made it worse, and she was in a lot of pain. So my sis and I took her the epsom salt. Elizabeth and her fiancee live at the same apartments as Jess, just one building over. We walked over, dodging sprinklers on the way. They weren't home yet. Jess figured they'd stopped to get something to eat. So we walk back. About 10 minutes later, we walked BACK over (no getting wet this time) and went in and Elizabeth came hobbling out of her room, and drunk. We were all laughing at her. She was cracking up trying to tell us how she nearly fell over trying to get inside to the bathroom, and was happy for the epsom salt. Her ankle didn't look swollen, which is a good sign. 


Jess and I said our goodbyes and walked back. She went in her room and was surprised to see all the clothes. She asked me did I fold them, and said thank you. I helped her hang up her nicer clothes, then we went to bed. It was about 3 by then. 


When I woke up, I couldn't believe it was 12:45! I was a little annoyed my sis didn't wake me up, because she was supposed to work on my hair. Oh, well. Her bed is comfortable, and so soft. Puts mine to shame, but you didn't hear that from me. She drove me home, (after another Starbucks run) and it rained the whole way. Awesome for the grass. We ate pizza and watched the humming bird frenzy outside. She left, and I unpacked, getting ready for work again tomorrow. 


Wow, this was really long, but a lot can happen in a couple of days! Well, if you read it the whole way, thanks. :) Back to work tomorrow...here's to a hopefully awesome week. Goodnight!

Holy crap! :)

11:13p

I finally learned how to play "Apologize" by One Republic on piano! :D I LOVE that song and have always wanted to learn how to play it. Finally found a good enough tutorial (I REALLY need to learn how to read sheet music), and just played by ear after that. It's awesome. I want to learn to play other songs now. If only I could figure out that one song that's giving me trouble....

This week is my trip up to north Texas. I haven't been up that way in forever. Everyone is getting excited. I have to start planning and getting everything together. Those who know me well know that it's a process for me (haha). 

Short update tonight because I'm so excited I finally learned that song after all this time...it was more simple than I thought! :D If I didn't have to get up early for work in the morning, I'd definitely be staying up to play some more! I'm going to sleep on a good note. Goodnight!

Happy Father's Day :D

Music: News
9:49p


Hope all the dads had a great Father's Day! I know mine did. :D He took the day off today, and I took over doing the laundry (which I didn't mind!), and the dishes. I ended up with today off because of yet another screw-up with my schedule at work. I was off last Monday/Tuesday, and was scheduled to work 8 days straight after that, which made me mad. I was given this coming Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (the latter two which I requested so I can go on my trip) off.  I didn't need Thursday off, so one of my co-workers traded with me, so I work Thursday, and was off today. :) 

My dad and I watched the race from Michigan together, which was altogether boring, and frustrating with all the commercials (damn you to Hell, TNT!! GRRR). I could tell you about the new motor oil, and what kind of Nugget sauces McDonald's has, but couldn't tell you what happened in the race. Nope. Wish the coverage would stay on FOX all year, but yeah, football and all that other shit I don't watch. :( 


After the race, I went to Whataburger and bought my dad and I lunch. Came home and ate and watched some True Blood, though I started watching in the middle, and had no idea who anyone was or what was going on...it's frustrating when they don't really stick to the books. I thought Laffayette died?!

I started messing around with my keyboard again last night...was fun because it had been so long since I'd last played. I'm trying to pick up One Republic's "Apologize" again, as I had tried to learn it before, but just kinda strayed away from it. Trying to learn how to play in general, just because I love it, and if I do in fact make up my mind to pursue music again in college, I'll have had a refresher. :)


I stayed up until almost 3:30 this morning, talking to Daniel, J.R., and Jonathan; playing the keyboard, and just not ready to go to sleep. Was just wired, I guess. 


Well, that's all for now, next week will be busy getting everything ready for the weekend. Will update again soon. Peace.

*blows the title box to hell*

10:44pm

I had the day off today. It was nice. Talking to a friend on Facebook last night, I realized I had the whole night ahead of me to do whatever. So instead of being bored on the computer all night long, I instead did something I haven't done in a while: read. I started reading Breaking Dawn again. It's one of my favorites in the Twilight series. Not only that, but it will give me a chance to catch up on all the characters and different covens before the movie comes out. There's so many vamps/covens! I went to sleep not long after that. 

I woke up this morning and just lay in bed for a while..how nice to not have to worry about the alarm going off! After a quick shower, I had breakfast and proceeded to try to clean up my bathroom. Amy messaged me and asked if I was working, and if I wasn't, did I want to go to lunch. I said yes, so she came and picked me up. We decided on Iggy's (where else do we go? lol). She bought lunch, and I bought drinks (pina colada for me and margarita for Amy yummy!), and we chatted and brought each other up to date on all the recent events. Still haven't found a hotel yet for our trip, hoping they find one soon, because the trip is the week after next. I'm so excited. :D

We finished lunch and came back, stopping at a couple of garage sales on the way. One lady recognized me from work, it was funny. We didn't stay long because it was so freaking hot outside (summers in Texas SUCK). She dropped me off and headed out to see her daughter. I curled up on my bed and watched the Smallville finale, and napped a bit. Tried to play Angry Birds again after that, but I'm getting real frustrated with level 5! I can't pass it for the life of me, no matter what I do. I need some pointers! Gave up on that and settled down and watched Flashpoint. Ate dinner and read some more BD. Now I'm waiting on the crazy idiot neighbors to finish up their drinking party so I can get some sleep. It was a good day off. :) 

Hope the weekend goes by fast so I can get to Sunday night. I'm off Monday and Tuesday (wow, I must have done something good to get two days off--in a row). I'm trying to make plans and utilize the time. 

Will update when more interesting stuff happens...goodnight.

What a day. :S

Music: The "Twilight" score soundtrack
11:26pm

I wanted to stay in bed this morning. Not because I knew it was going to be a bad day (it wasn't ALL bad), but because I was comfortable and thinking peaceful thoughts and wished it could have stayed darker longer (even though it was 10 in the morning). 

Went to work at 12, and found we hadn't been all that busy, though the rest of the store was pretty chaotic (I had to park clear across the other side of the lot), what with it being Memorial Day. Susan and I worked freight, and after all that was said and done, I decided to go take my first break. I didn't text Manny, for we had made plans to go to lunch around 4 (my scheduled lunch time), figuring I'd give him a little bit to see if he would text/call to tell me the plans were still on.  

It was going on 3:30, and I hadn't heard back from him, so I texted him, asking if we were still on. He responds back that he's stuck somewhere in Houston and can't make it. So now I'm pissed that he broke plans AGAIN for the second time. So I called Amy, knowing she got off at 4 from her job, and asked her if she wanted to go have lunch with me. She said yes, so she ran home, changed and met up at the shop and we went off to lunch (Iggy's...MMMMMM!). On our way to the restaurant, Manny proceeds to text me back saying 'yes.' I ask him 'yes what?' and he then tells me 'okay, I'll go to lunch with you.' I told him 'sorry..having lunch with Amy.' His loss. I just won't be making anymore plans with him in the near future...

So I go back to work, happy and full. The last two hours of my shift were painstakingly boring. UGH. I was standing at the counter inside with Derick and Edward talking about how bad we all were when we were in school, when I just happened to look up and spot J.R. browsing the movies in electronics. So I casually strolled up to him and punched him in the shoulder asking what he was doing up there. He threw a movie at me haha. Bantered a bit more, then he seemed to completely disappear. I swear I thought I was hallucinating. Like he came out of thin air...

Closed up and came home, and had just gotten on the computer when J.R. called me. Okay, cue Twilight Zone music...now. He asked me if I wanted to go to walmart, but I really didn't feel like going because I had already left from there! Not only that, but he had JUST been there! I don't understand the boy I tell ya. :P Wanted to hang out, but it was already 9:30..though I am off tomorrow, I just wasn't up for going anywhere. Didn't bum me out that much...tomorrow is another day. 

I jumped on facebook and one of my friends asked me about a certain feature to my looks..my teeth. Now they are not perfect...I had to have braces to correct an overbite and to straighten them out. That was 11 years ago. I had them taken off in '04, but before I did, my first wisdom tooth came in. Three more came in after that:left side top/bottom, right side top/bottom. Over the years, they pushed my teeth out, causing yet another overbite. I had the right side wisdoms taken out in September, the left side is due sometime later this year.

Now I know he wasn't trying to be rude in the least, I knew that. But I told him the story anyway, and was extremely upset because I was still offended..it's a difficult subject. I get self-conscious easily now, since the wisdoms screwed everything up. After my braces were taken off, I felt so much better about myself...I'd like to have that feeling again. He didn't tell me I still looked beautiful, or that it didn't matter to him...his response? 'I had braces before..I feel much better now.' Really? So I kind of ignored him the rest of the night. My friend Daniel had jumped on and I told him how I was feeling. He made me feel somewhat better when he said to just love myself the way I am, and that no matter what, to him, I was beautiful. So, thanks, Daniel. It's not the point of I wanted to hear someone say that...it's the fact that they DID that made me feel better. One day, I'm going to have my teeth straight, whitened, and I can finally be happy with myself. It's a slow process..but I'm getting there.

I think I'm going to go find one of my tapes and lay down and enjoy not having to get up and go to work. One day off, then another 6 day work stretch. UGH. Wish me luck, folks, and I will update as stuff happens. Peace. 

Holiday weekend..

Music: lastFM
12:15am

I haven't updated in a while...either haven't had enough time or just been flat out lazy.  Hmm..so what's new...

Dad and I took my aunt to the airport Friday afternoon. With it being the holiday weekend, there were lines everywhere..the busiest I've seen it in all the three years my aunt has been flying in/out of Houston (but then, I never go to airports). I teared up when she went around the wall to the security/checkpoint area. Came home and picked my mom up from work and we went to Walmart so I could do some shopping. My sister had called me that morning to ask me if I wanted to go out to her side of town to my cousin's baby shower, but I told her I had already requested Saturday off to go with Amy. We were going to go to the beach, but what with the impending Memorial Day, we knew it was going to be packed, so she asked me if I instead wanted to go to Conroe to her mom's house. So that was the plan, and I told my sis that I was sorry, that I had already committed to a friend.

I had a Friday night with nothing to do, what with Smallville over, and Flashpoint being a repeat. So I cleaned out my car. Yeah, I know...I was THAT bored. Can't wash it right now (God, it needs to be washed) because they sent us a notice telling us to conserve water. Hey, it's not their fault that we're not getting any rain down here in Texas. 

I got up yesterday morning and got ready to go with Amy. We spent most of the afternoon in Conroe, and I got to meet her family. It was an alright time. Was sleepy most of the day..even though I slept well the night before. I've got to start taking my iron pills again, and improve my diet. Of course, it's nighttime and I'm wired now.  :S

Came home and started thinking about things my sis and I could do..we'll have to plan a weekend where it's just us, no kids/parents/etc, and just have sister time. Looking forward to it. :D

Well, it's back to walscrew tomorrow..I'm really gonna have to talk to them about my schedule. I'm getting sick of all these closing shifts. I really am. It's becoming tiring. 12-8 next two days, hope the holiday is good to me. Til next time, folks. 

Happy Easter!

Music: 'Miss Independent,' by Ne-Yo
9:05pm

Happy Easter to everyone! It's been a minute since I've updated..I've had so much stuff to write down, but unfortunately, not the time to do it. So thought I'd throw in some randomness tonight. I had to work today (the late shift), but it wasn't that bad. Mom cooked Easter dinner..yum! Looking forward to a new week. I haven't really been out of the house in two weeks..I've either been working, ill, or just not anyone to hang out with :( Amy had to cancel our plans for Thursday so she could finish a couple of cakes she was making for some friends for Easter. I wasn't too dissappointed, but wish I could have gotten out of the house for a bit.

I talked to Richard that night, though. I realized that I didn't have enough time to get to know him before he left for Mississippi nearly two years ago. He seems to be a genuinely nice guy. I do have this regret that we should have spent more time together, and I found that he does, too. I do miss him, but just as a friend. A friend I want to get to know better, and see where things go. *sigh* Men. The other one still eats at my brain. I dreamt he was waving at me the other night. WTF? Sometimes I wish I could beat this dream version with a baseball bat (in every dream, he never talks to me, he hasn't once..what does that mean?), but I don't want to damage his pretty face. ;)

Amy and I made plans for Tuesday to go out shopping and just cavort around. Fun fun. :) Thursday is my mom's birthday, so I thought I would take her out to eat. Was going to last year, but we both had to work, and I was broke :(  I have to make her a cake, but not sure which one to make her. Sunday starts a new month, which means my aunt is only a couple of weeks away from coming to visit! So excited.... :D

I don't have much else, except my internet keeps freezing up...so annoying! Grr. Well, until next time, peace. :)

Another day....

Music: "Sleep," by One Republic
1:11am

So what's new everyone? For me, it's been an uneventful couple of days. I had the past two days off, which was nice considering I have to work the next SIX. Yeah, I know, it sucks. The next two weeks my off days are split. I'm going to have to talk to my manager to see if he can set my off days to Tuesday/Wednesday.

Monday we got a little rain as the front was passing through, then it turned gorgeous. They had some nasty storms over the weekend, including twin (yes, I said 'twin') tornadoes up in Iowa. Scary! The video is so eerie. They formed at night, which upped the 'scary' factor times 10. I never I repeat NEVER want to chase a tornado at night! Okay, yes, I know that's the chaser's job and everything, but are you people CRAZY?! lol Kudos to you for putting your lives on the line to protect the rest of us who aren't pros at this, but that's something I never want to do as a chaser. Let that stay with the rest of them. Let them have fun chasing twisters at night.

Monday I was bored out of my mind, but I helped the 'rents clean up the spare bedroom and put my old bed back together. They took off to run some errands, and it was nice to have the house to myself for a couple of hours. My car went to the shop as well to see if the two problems (A/C and Co2 sensor (?)) could be fixed.

Today was a little different. Another gorgeous day! I ran up to Walmart to ask Jessica if she wouldn't mind switching shifts with me on Saturday, as the kids are coming over to celebrate four birthdays at once. Got a few things and came home. The air was so dry and cool, so I went for a bike ride for a little bit, but the air was so dry, it made my nose hurt, but I got some good exercise (never hurts!). Took a break and went in to clean up my room and eat lunch, and watch Smallville. I took the bike back out later in the afternoon, but kept having to watch for cars as it was rush hour, so I didn't stay out long this time. Damn crazy drivers. I thought my neighbor was going to run me over because they weren't moving over. I was up against the curb waiting for them to pass. He's a dipshit, anyway. Glad I didn't get run over. :P

After a nice bath and dinner and Smallville, I hopped on Facebook. People are cold, man. So cold. But whatever. I reported the sumbitch, and talked to my friends who made me feel better (not that I was upset per se, just annoyed). So yeah, now I have six fun-filled days of work ahead of me. Here we go again, folks.

Blah, I'm tired. I'm going to bed. Peace.

I just found out my best friend got engaged tonight YAAAAYY!!! I'm so excited for her. :D I don't think she was expecting it. Now we have to plan her bachelorette party, which is going to kick ass. :)

I had the day off today, and a friend who I haven't seen in almost two years, Jessica (same person I mentioned a few posts back about joining facebook), invited me to the mall. My other friends, Samantha and Alaina, went, too. The only person missing was Heather, who had to work (though we threatened to come kidnap her). We had a blast..it had been AGES since I've had a girl's day out, or seen any of these girls. We did some catching up, ate lunch, and shopped. It was so nice to have a day like this. :)  We went into Spencer's and looked at their bachelorette party stuff, and talked about who's party we'd be planning first. Since Samantha was the only one out of us who was engaged (until Heather tonight), we told her we were going to make it a bad-ass party. Funny that we were talking about Heather and how she might be next in line. Stranger things have happened.

We shopped some more, then Jessica dropped all of us off at our respective homes. I logged on FB and found out Heather  was engaged.  So exciting! Now we have two parties to plan. Should be interesting. :)

Crosby got our first taste of Spring (and please let that be a sign of things to come) with a late evening thunder shower. Not exciting enough to go nuts over, but the sound of thunder was music to my ears.

Tomorrow it's back to work...two more days of closing, then I'm off Friday, and hopefully I can take care of what needs to be done. Goodnight. :)

This sucks.

11:30pm

I hate this feeling that I have. It's the feeling of rejection. I feel like everything went wrong, like a failure. I can't keep my manager in place for five seconds so I can explain to him that I need my schedule changed to something other than night shifts. I can't be up front and honest with a friend, and that same friend has been ignoring me for the past week. I posted something on a friend's facebook page something that was supposed to be private information, and I feel like I was punished. I apologized, but I still feel so terrible. These things I wish I could take back or change. I'm depressed.

I knew I should have just stayed at the beach.

My life is okay here, though it feels as if something is missing. Like something isn't right. Katelyn would know what to do. She'd go kick some ass and take names and everything would be all right. :) Robbie wouldn't be too far behind (moral support of course!). I hope I find it someday. This is where the good Lord wants me to be right now, and I'm waiting patiently until he shows me the right  path. I trust in him. I'm going to make everyone proud of me when I finally set out on my mission. If you don't know what that mission is, you either don't know me as well as you maybe should or think you do. Screw the people that get in my way and try to bring me down. Though I still feel terrible and there are things that need changing in my life, I'm going to take it one step at a time, one day at a time.

Nothing will ever change that or stop me from doing what I want to do. I'll never stop.

I need the party police.

Music: Ashlee Simpson, "Burning Up"
10pm

The neighbors are at it again...no, no four wheelers this time, but lots of cheering and talking and kids acting like the little heathens they are. Guess those fuckers are watching the basketball game or something. From their garages. Don't these people have living rooms? Shit.

This weekend is my early weekend, which I can't complain about too much, because the next three days after that, I have to close, which sucks because there goes my nights off to do whatever. Today wasn't bad at all in terms of business. Was nice. Tomorrow might be a different story, though. Spring Break is ending, and the shop might be a little more packed. Thank goodness Emily comes in at 12, instead of three like last Sunday.

I ran home at three to change and grab a quick shower before heading out with Amy. We went to eat, then over to her friend's house for her Tupperware party. Never been to one before, but it was fun. We played games and ate snacks. It was so nice to have a distraction from things going on right now. This certain thing is always on my mind...no matter what I'm doing, there that person is, runing amok, or just staring me in the face, begging me to talk to said person face-to-face so I can get it over with. I don't know what to do.....I really don't. Nothing is ever easy, and this one is a doozy. The only person who can make that first move is me. Now I'm home and it's all I can think of. Blah!!

It's been a long day...seriously thinking about taking some NyQuil so I can sleep and not hear the idiots all up and down the street. I want to SLEEP and not dream about said person, not think about it for 7 hours. It's fun, don't get me wrong...but I need a break from the mental stress.

Why does it have to be so complicated?

That's all for now, keep tuned. Just hope things turn out for the better. :)

So much to do, so little time.

First off, Happy St. Patty's day everyone! Yes, I'm sporting the green today, and I've even pinched somebody! Samantha is going to Shamrock's Pub this evening to hear a band play. If I didn't have to work tomorrow, I probably would have gone. Instead, I'm using this day off to just take it easy and relax, because yesterday was so busy.

Yesterday I got up and took care of some financial stuff (yeah, that's always fun, isn't it?), and ran to Walmart to do some shopping. I hadn't eaten lunch yet, or even wrapped up Alyna's stuff for her baby shower. After I got home, it was a mad rush to eat (though I had taken my iron pill, my blood sugar had dropped too low for comfort), and get ready. Amy came and picked me up, and we headed out to Humble. We found the restaurant okay, and we were about 45 minutes early, so we checked out one of the stores in the strip center. At 6, we went inside the restaurant to see if anyone had arrived yet. We met a co-worker of Alyna's, who had set the whole event up. She was really nice. Then everyone (including mom-to-be) started arriving.

We ate, and Alyna and I played catch up, chatting about random things and about the baby. Heather and Alaina were a little late, because Heather couldn't get out of work. Not too long after, Amy and I left and headed home. It was fun..now Alyna is placing her bets on who (out of me, Alaina, and Heather) are going to have a baby next. Heh heh. :)

That's all I got for now. Peace.

Title? Couldn't think of one. So here you go.

It was one busy weekend for us. I'm mentally and physically exhausted. From having our usual weekend business, plus working all the new features and mods that haven't even been set (and managers getting on our asses to get it put out/or put in the stock room, though it has nowhere to go), to chasing down managers and trying to get my damn schedule straight, I'm so glad the weekend is over.

I thought I worked 12-8 yesterday, but early yesterday morning, I got a text from Daniel, asking if I knew I had to be there at 9:30. So I called my manager, and she said that the schedule was totally messed up (gee, you think?), and to go ahead and come in at 9:30. I didn't complain in the least, because I hate closing. I'd much rather open, or have a midshift. Today's schedule was changed as well, but at least that one made sense, because they didn't have a closer tonight. Tomorrow got messed up, even though they said it was fixed, so now instead of 8-4, which was changed to 12-8, I'm now working 11-7. Confused? Yeah, so am I *facepalm*

I really can't wait til this week is over, and it hasn't even started. My one friend promised something for me, but never got back with me, the other I can't even communicate with at the moment, and I'm still kinda miffed at what happend a week ago.

Don't know if I mentioned it in a previous post, and I'm too lazy to go back and read them, but my arm is healing nicely, though I'm hoping I don't get a fucking scar. Last week I was trying to carry too many boxes, and one of them slipped out of my grip, and slid down my arm, givng me the worst 'box' burn I'd ever had. Felt like my fucking arm was on fire! Had to go for the first aid kit and snag some burn cream. It reminded me of the time I was working at McDonald's, and the thing you put the fries on to drain the grease fell into the vat, and hot grease splattered all over my arm. Thought I was gonna have to go to the hospital. That shit hurt!!! I still have a couple of scars (though they are small) on my left wrist.

Other than that, I found an old friend on facebook, so hopefully we can catch up soon. I've been neglecting an old friend who moved back to Mississippi, back into his parents' house, so he could go to school. I'll have to text him soon. I miss my old friends. :(

Well, hope you guys had a better weekend than me, have a great week, and peace, love, and my god why can't I find a song I want to listen to? blah.

Sometimes even Alieve is no match.

The neighbors are really getting on my nerves with their damn four-wheelers grinding up and down our street. For one, I live in a newer developed neighborhood, not the country/boonies. Jesus, does anyone else have to deal with this kind of shit? No wonder one of my neighbors (the more decent, mature ones) want to move out. And when you have a certain someone (i.e. me) who was blessed with a gift from Mother Nature this morning (the growly, moody, I-want-to-kill-everyone gift), it's really trying my patience.

Well, glad they changed my schedule from 9-5 something-ish to 12-8:30 tomorrow. Least I can sleep in a bit, and the neighbors get to live. Tonight.

Meanwhile, earlier tonight while chatting with one of my friends on Facebook, he asked me a question about his girlfriend, seeking advice. Now, I am by no means an expert on relationships. He told me that not only is their one year anniversary approaching, but also his g/f's birthday. So he wanted to know when I thought would be the best time to bring out the promise ring.

Whoa. Usually it takes a lot to shock me, but this question came totally from left field and left me speechless. I really didn't know what to say. So I told him the truth, that I really didn't know because I had never personally been in that situation. Do I believe in the promise ring? Sure. But everyone I believe has to make that decision for themselves, and decide when the time is right. He appreciated my honesty. :)

Has anyone heard the song 'Paper Planes' by M.I.A.? I LOVE that song, and just remembering my two nephews dancing to it..HILARIOUS. There's your bit of randomness for the night.

Want more? Hmm..okay...sticks and stones may break my bones, but you're just ugly so fuck it. Just kidding :P (Yes I got that from the song..the sticks and stones part).

I think the Alieve is calling my name again. Have a good weekend everyone, because I probably won't update til Sunday or Monday. Peace. :)

Spring is definitely on the way.

I don't know how much more Charlie Sheen meltdown I can take. The man obviously had a cable snapped somewhere in there, and it's all the news/celeb shows can talk about. I say we just take him, Lindsay Lohan, and whatever other fuck-tard insane, crazy celeb and ditch them on a deserted island somewhere, so we never have to hear about their miserable lives and downward spirals ever again.

Sometimes I'm glad I'm not famous. At least if I were, I'd use said fame to do some good in the world.

Meanwhile, back in sanity-land....

Wait. What the hell am I saying? Like my life is normal. :P

I had the day off again, and damn if it didn't go by fast. I took the car and had the oil changed, and was going to wash it, but it never got warm enough. Although it's an oldie ( it's a '98 Saturn), and it hates doing anything less than 50 mph, I love that little car. My only gripe is that there is a leak in the A/C system, which means no air conditioning. The last time we had it charged up, it went out in two days. Two days. That kind of work to fix the leak is expensive, and I have no idea what the fuck I'm gonna do when summer rears its ugly head.

I fucking hate Texas sometimes.

Other than that, there's not a whole lot you can do with only one day off, although I did get a little further ahead in the story I'm writing. I have some more ideas. I'll be posting to FanFiction.net (link in the sidebar), and when I have the first one in the series up, I'll post the link here. :)

The story follows a young girl named Katelyn, and her journey through the PR series. Can't wait to see where it goes.

Oh, yes, and welcome to March. Let the storm chasing madness begin!

More to come later. Goodnight. :)

Firing on all cylinders. For now.

6:15pm

After nearly 12 hours of sleep last night (I didn't make it far into Eclipse by the way), I'm feeling much better. Strange dreams, though. And I'll be damned if Ed* (names changed to protect the innocent, or until I tell said person face-to-face, if I can ever gather up the courage and get over the embarrassment, lol) didn't pop up AGAIN, but for the life of me, I can't remember what we were doing. Also, my dad and I were in our house when a tornado hit, and the roof came down on top of us (all while giving me advice on being a responsible adult). How we weren't harmed was beyond me. My mother proceeds to come out of the shower, asking what happened, as if she didn't hear the thing hitting the house, then starts cooking dinner as if nothing had happened. I ran out front to try to see if I could see the twister, but found nothing.

Okay, that's the last time I watch the fucking Weather Channel before going to sleep.


Anyone hear about the Dancing with the Stars season 12 line up? Now, mind you, I don't really watch that show unless someone I REALLY like is on there (like when Lance Bass, Helio I-won't-even-bother-to-spell-his-last-name, Joey Fatone and Jane Seymour were contestants), but what the fuck is up with this year's cast? That former playboy bunny, Kirstie Alley, Sugar Ray Leonard, Chris Jericho? The original Karate Kid? Seriously, what were they smoking? Did they just want a season of nobodys? Not saying they suck, I just don't feel as if they have as much pull (or star-power, or whatever you want to call it), as the 'bigger' names in the biz.

Look, the show has been on for 11 seasons. They are obviously running out of names. If it were me, I'd say the show had a good run, and nix it while I was ahead.

Good luck getting ratings this year. That's all I can say.

I had the day off today, and spent it outdoors, as the weather couldn't have been more perfect; sunny, calm winds, low humidity, and mild temperatures. PERFECT. Wish it could last forever. :)

I made some changes to my blog, as you can see off to the side. Feel free to follow/friend me on the sites I've listed. Much thanks! And goodnight.

Peachy.

What's up people? Happy Monday (or what's left of it). This one will be a little boring as I'm sooo tired. It was a busy weekend, and busy all over today. The entire store was crazy.

Today went by slow. I was due to get off at 4:30, but of course when you want to leave, everyone and their fucking grandmother want to come in needing shit. I had one really cool lady, though, at the last minute. My only problem was that there was no closing cashier working, so thankfully the three guys that were there stepped in and helped. Daniel complained, as always. The manager had to get a cashier from God knows where, and all but told me to GO, as I was almost 30 minutes over. They got some blonde chick to come cashier. I didn't know who she was.

No randomness tonight, as I'm just too damn tired to think of anything. It was a rough weekend, and a rough start to the week.

Oh, yeah, and Reed has already baggd a tornado.  

It's still February.

My God this is going to be an interesting year. :)

Thinking about popping in the Eclipse movie and just go to bed. Yes, I know this was short and not very interesting, but my brain stopped functioning about two hours ago. Goodnight. :)

Here we go again...

I decided to make me a new blog, because my LiveJournal is so cluttered with shit from my story, and other stuff..personal stuff, so I'm keeping that one separate from this one. This one will just be for random stuff.

Okay, who here watches the Sprint Cup series? For those of you who live under a rock, that would be NASCAR, people. Here's the deal: I have a HUGE hatred against one Kyle Busch. Now all you KB lovers can bitch at me til the sun goes down, but this guy (for those of you who aren't cool enough to watch), is the biggest asshole in the sport. He is always going after someone, causing wrecks, and the guy cheats BIG time. Jumping the starting line at restarts, speeding off Pit Road...He tends to wreck other guys intentionally, only to turn around and bitch when someone does it to him.

Today he was up to his usual shit in Phoenix when it appeared that he wrecked Carl Edwards with intent, because they had a little contact earlier in the race. Edwards' #99 had to go to the garage and by the time he got back out, was 40 laps down. Edwards was MAD, and understandably so. He knew that the incident was intentional. None of the other drivers like KB. Jeff Gordon's #24 finally took over the lead on KB's #18 with 8 laps to go, and snapped a 66 race winless streak. THANK GOD. Jeff, you deserved it, much kudos to you, bud.

Hey, Kyle, how does it feel being in second place?

Well, while that was going on, I forgot I was supposed to call Amy. Oopsie. Forgive me.

I also wrote a new song last night, and it was probably the fastest I've ever written one. Needs editing. Seriously for real. Having a keyboard helps, too. :)

Ah, yes, the muses are back at it again. Now why the fuck can't I finish my story? :P

The weather is getting on my nerves down here with all this fog, humidity, and cloudy bullshit. Spring can not get here fast enough. I'm having withdrawls. I've been patient long enough.

Until then, goodnight.
