Sunday madness

I'm sitting in a sports event place, watching a N.C. Panther vs. Miami Dolphin game, and yes (dum, dum dum), wearing a jersey! EEEEEEK! I don't know why I agreed to this in the first place, I guess you could call it morbid curiosity of the male pre-occupation with sports, not just ANY sport, the ultimate contact sport...football. The game is an enigma to me, I won't deny it, but put me in front of a screen and surround me with a bunch of people screaming at the screen, and I do get involved. I'm not a cop-out, I'm just willing to learn some of the finer points of the game, even if it does decrease some of my "gentility status" as a female. Oh well.

I get to move today, and I'm excited about moving. I really don't have much of a choice because my old apartment has already been rented; however it sucks because it may be in the same building, but couldn't be more farther away. I have to move everything up stairs, and it's not as easy as it sounds. I actually have to move stuff down the stairs then cross over to the other side and go back up 2 more flights of stairs to the 3rd floor. Ugh. I'm glad I've been walking to work all this week, it's gotten my muscles all loosened up and ready for the calf killing I'll be doing later today. I didn't sleep well last night, and for some reason it's not affecting me.

Yesterday I had to go through all my storage to compact it a little more, I mean I have a bigger place yes, but my storage space is a lot of little spaces instead of one huge closet like my current place. Hopefully I've gotten rid of enough stuff to keep me ok. It was kind of interesting to go through memory lane starting from birth to my current state of adulthood. I opened one box that I haven't gone through since I got it from my parent's attic in my childhood home. It smelled like the dusty old attic still and evoked some powerful emotions and memories. Combine that and going through old memorabilia and you got a VERY emotional night. It was cool, not a negative thing, it brought some smiles to my face alive with memories. *sigh

Well, I'm being bad and not paying attention to the game...so I better wrap it up..man, the things I do sometimes!

GO PANTHERS!

I knew it was coming

Well, since I lost my funding, it was inevitable that my computer is to be taken away, so I have exactly one week to get things off that I want and return it so someone else can take joy in it. I guess it's a good thing that I got it replaced then, huh? Oh woe.

I'm moving into a diffrent apartment this weekend to. I decided that I've had enough of the studio life and want to have my own bedroom again. I'm not really moving that far, just on the other side of my current residence and upstairs...oye..always up, never down. I have a butt load to carry so I guess I have to round up some of my minions to help me!

I just finished my first week of training and it was a challenge to stay awake, let me tell you! Thank goodness I have a brain, because today we got to see some people in action, and half of them don't have a brain, which gave me, and a few other co-workers hope that we could nail this job. And of course the first time I get to listen in on a call, it's some irate guy who is obviously pissed of from the very start, and basically called just to yell at someone (I can't go into detail because I signed a piece of paper stateing so, whatever). All in all, it didn't frighten me away because the gal I was with handled it very well, and it gave me confidence...oh well, it's a job right? I have been running into people I haven't seen in a while, it looks like they too were wanting to make a quick buck, but this is definatly NOT a no-brainer job, it's way more challenging then looking at a white dress to see how many wrinkles are left in it!

I came home today only to flick on the lights and not have them come on...oops! I guess I haven't paid the bill in a bit, but it was waay less than $100, so I made a few calls, opened up a window to circulate some air and promptly fell asleep only to be awakened to the dulcent tones of my ancient VCR powering back up. Another bill crisis averted. Man, I really hope things get a little easier with this paycheck, I AM, sadly enough, making more here on my first week then I did working 4 years at that stupid bridal store...NEVER AGAIN!! Me happy!

Cheerio!

Birthday!!!!!!

Yesterday was my quarter of a century birthday. It couldn't have been a more perfect day! I woke up in a great mood, made myself a GREAT breakfast (ate in in bed, tee-hee), and waited patiently for the phone call that I know was inevitable....the call from the parents!

So they called me (and not at the butt crack of dawn) to sing me happy birthday and relate to me my famous birthday story that has been repeated to me for the last 25 years. I told them that they needed to write those down so that we (all three of us kids) will have them forever, I don't know, I guess it's gooeybut it was nice, then they suggested that we go out to lunch and a movie, that was awesome too.

My day couldn't have gone more smoothly. I was able to have a great time with all the people I care about and still take time to enjoy the fact that is was my birthday. I wish I could have spent some time with some other people, but you know, I only had 24 hours to party!

I ended up going out to dinner at this AWESOME authentic russian resturant and re-lived some of my childhood. As soon as I walked into this place, I was instantly transported to my Aunt Pat's kitchen with all my Aunts and cousins making family russain food...it was bliss!

Unfortunatly my back decided to go out of whack about a half hour before that, so it was kind of an uncomfortable experience physically, but the food was amazing. I think I found a new favorite resturant!

Later that night my friends kidnapped me (and put aside their individual drama to hang out with me)to go dancing, but unfortunatly my back was wonky so I got to sit and watch everyone on the dance floor, it wasn't actually that bad, I did have a lot of fun and came home at a decent hour. My day was awesome.

So as my mom said..."I think it's funny that everyone is calling YOU and wishing you a happy birthday when I did all the work!". I just laughed and said, "yea, but I'm the one who survived the last 25 years of it!" So ends one of the greatest days of my life. Cheerio!

Got milk?

So it looks like I'm not going to die a horrible death as a poor pauper anymore. I actually found a job that pays me more than I have ever earned in my whole like. It was kind of satsifying. That means that I'll be able to actually buy things again with out wondering where my next paycheck will be coming from. Heath got a job there to. We actually are training together...this will be interesting.

I have a birthday this week. I'll be quarter of a century old this weekend. The prospect frightens me. I want to go out and do something fun, so some friends of mine are going to take me out to the Merq. It's a classy establishment that just got a dance floor, it's gonna be kickn'!

I go out for BBQ cow tonight with the Fam. My brother will make a much needed apperance, I never see him, so it's kinda nice. *sigh

Well, i guess that I can't complain, but the vacation was nice, but now it's time to get chained back up with the other slaves...lol...it IS nice to have a change of scenery though! Cheerio!

no woman no cry

Ok, job hunting sucks. I might have to degrade myself a couple notches and apply at a call center. NOOOOO! At least that's what my brain is telling me, but I can still look for another job...right? Oye.

Funding got cut. I no longer have free school. I waited too long. Losing my computer as well. Hmmm....what else can I write. Oh yeah, drama still on, not as bad as it was, but we shall see.

I am an intriqued woman.

I NEED TO GET OUT!! On the upside, I guess I could consider this extended vacation. *sigh*

Cheerio.

popularity rules

I guess my blog has been online long enough to get blogspam! I'm starting to get comments from people who "like my blog" and are giving me helpful sites to look at to say "hey, I read yours, now come check out my site on how to get a lower premium on car insurance!". *sigh* If only I had a car! Either way I'm flattered.

I had a hetic day yesterday. There'a a LOT of drama going on in my life currently (ya'll look soo suprised!), and it's actually making me sick...like physically sick. I'm trying to deal with certain situations as best as I can, but unfortunatly, people I care for very much are getting hurt, and will continue to do so. I'm trying not to get toooo involved in things, but for some reason...I dunno, maybe I should just move to Scotland. Now that I'm unemployed, I have open spaces to where I can do anything I choose...cept sleep in, that seems to not happen after 4 years of waking up at 7am. What time did I wake up this morning?? 6:40am!! Urgh.

I have a fun appointment tomorrow with my counselor to where I get to tell her that I have completly re-arranged my life and that things are going to be a LOT diffrent then they were. I still want to move to Seattle, but with no money, no job, and not much else...it ain't happneing. And that and if I don't get another job right away, I have to use the money I do have saved up for seattle for another month's worth of rent. Ugh, ugh, ugh.

Oye....my life will improve, things will get better, I will be able to accomplish my goals, but for today, my goal is to go to an interview, then come home and finish organizing my things, because I've learned that if my environment is organized, then my life will be too....

...hopefully. CHeers!

Labor Day...no freaking doubt!

Today I'm spring cleaning, well, end-of-summer-cleaning. I have to get organized. It's important for me to have things somewhat organized so that when I do eventually move, I don't have to take forever, I can just throw stuff in boxes. So my goal is to keep this place somewhat clean, who knows if I have to move out of the apartment or not, hopefully I can kiss my landlord's bum and plead with her to let me live on a month-2-month basis until I get more of an idea of what I'm doing. Oye...this is gonna suck until I know what's going on. I hate not knowing things like this. I can't really do anything until tomorrow anyway, so I guess I have to enjoy the rest of Labor day.

Ahhhhh....back to cleaning. Cheerio!

More of the life that rocks

Last day of work yesterday. Kinda was fast because we were sooo busy due to Labor Day weekend, but it was nice to have such a busy day and help brides. I didn't expect anything sagnificant to happen, but was plesantly surprised by what I got. I got a cake with my name on it (I heard from good reference that it made the cake maker a little nervous when she started running out of room for my name in frosting!). I also go some beautiful roses that matched the cake, a card with a gift certificate to Wal-Mart and something I didn't expect, my boss acutally gave me the HUGE bath set with salts and oils and everything, funny thing is, I don't have a bathtub! She also decided to give me a raise on my last day (grrrrrrrrrrrr&$*#$%@&$#). Ok, like that's gonna do me much good. When she told me, she smiled like she was doing me the biggest favor...oye, like slaving for her for 4 years wasn't enough, it was almost like a slap in the face, but I'm trying very hard not to think of it like that.

As for the lastest drama in my life, I'm taking care of things as best as I can. Not everything in life is easy, and if it wasn't somewhat of a challenge, it would be worth my time. That's all I have to say on that subject.

I went out last night with a good friend and got to see one of my ex-co-workers in action with her band. She looked like a hot rocker mom, it was awesome because she so mild mannered at work, ya know, seamstress on the side, nice husband, 3 beautiful boys, then by night she's a screaming rock chick in sweet clothes. I had a good time. I went to the Satilite afterwards, but it was sooo slammed, so I ended up walking home. It was a good evening.

Cheers!
