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.
