This is why I'm hot

I got my schedule for working Star Wars Celebration IV.

5/22 10a-2p training
5/23 11:30a-8:30p
5/24 6:30a-1:30p
5/25 6:30a-1:30p
5/26 7:30a-2p
5/27 OFF
5/28 7:30a-1:30p

I'd rather have 5/24 off since it's my graduation and work 3pm to 10pm on 5/27 but Sheri didn't/couldn't/wouldn't do it that way.

I also uninvited Brad from my graduation. He told me he was sick for 2 weeks or whatever and then disappeared again so screw it. I'm done with him. I'm just going to have family (church included) there and that's fine with me.

It's funny how broke I am

Seriously. I'm overdrawn in my checking account by $0.80 Luckily my bills are all covered. But not luckily, or something like that, I won't have any spending money next week either. Hell, I don't even think I'll have money for laundry. And that reminds me...I need to e-mail Lora about changing my checks back to every 2 weeks. Actually I'll tell her tomorrow morning when she picks my mom up for some church breakfast thing.

Bills: 4/22 to 4/28
Travel Magazine $10.00 (ck 225)
T-Mobile $26.86 (4/25)
Pizza Hut $14.87 (4/25) not really a bill but I used my credit card/debit card so yeah
Netflix $19.47 (4/25)
Party America $46.15 (4/26)

Sony $18.11 (Sony is funky about collecting their money! It's been over a month since I ordered the CD and it was shipped on the 25th and they still haven't taken $$ out of my account)

Bills: 4/29 to 5/5
Carnival $80 (4/30)
T-Mobile $26.50 (4/30)
Citi Card $43.26 (4/30)

Bills: 5/6 to 5/12
Citi Card $43.26 (5/6)
Proactiv $26
Laundry $20


So back to how broke I am...I didn't/don't have the money to buy more shampoo so I have to use the little shampoos from hotels! UGH! lol I need to start conditioning my hair so that come this summer it won't be completely shot (I plan on being at the beach and park as much as possible). But I do what I can. Yeah so tomorrow I'm going to wash my hair. I also need to do something about my dry skin. And my facial color has become increasingly more uneven so I want to try and work on that.

Now that I have my ID back I can fill out the employment forms for that Star Wars Celebration my dad and I will be working later in May. They're all filled out and I'm going to fax them on Monday. I hope that's not too late and I don't think it will be. I'll also call the supervisor so I can clarify a few things in regards to the form. I'd ask my dad, but I'm trying to limit the arguments I have with him. So don't need the stress.

Hmm whatelse...that update on the AZ trip...I'll try toi do that tomorrow. I just haven't felt like it. Also haven't felt like uploading the pictures either lol Gah I'm so lazy! lol

So tired. Going to bed. Will be home alone tomorrow. That'd be prefect time to wash clothes, but oops...I don't have quarters to wash. So I guess I'll use the time to catch up on American Dreams and my writing.

Even sisters have falling out

So I was looking at the testimonials that people left for me at GJ and I scoffed when I read this:

2005-11-06When it comes to Lizet I say...Get Your Momma over here to cook! lol. I love ya, you are my long lost sister from another planet or something. ~LeAnn

Oh if only she knew how I really felt about her...she probably wouldn't consider me her sister anymore. Like a year and a half later I get this feeling that everything she tells me is a lie. It could be jealousy, actually a large part of it is probably jealousy. But she's across the country and I don't plan on meeting her.

We used to be close and all that stuff. There was 3 of us: Amanda, LeAnn and me. LeAnn stopped talking to Amanda because she (Amanda) was doing drugs and I guess that's kind of the reason I stopped talking to Amanda, but it wasn't my choice. Amanda seemingly made it for me. Then things started to change with LeAnn and I guess that's when the jealousy/trust or whatever came into play. It just didn't feel the same anymore and it was an online friendship/relationship I didn't want to put the effort into trying to "fix" so that it would feel the same. I guess it kind of ran it's course.

I added a ton of movies/tv shows to my netflix list. Oh shit! Tomorrow is the 26th! Another month gets paid...I have to make sure I keep $20 in my account for that. Wow, a month went by fucking fast! But anyways, about the things I added to my list...while at Jeanine's I watched The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and I was surprised at how much I liked it...so I added it to my list so I could watch it without commercial breaks. Then yesterday there was this 4 part Walker, Texas Ranger thing on and I watched all that and made me want to watch the series from the beginning so I added that to my list. I added a few other thing I can't remember and took off some things (The OC for one. as much as I had a love/hate thing for the show, I don't think I could or need to watch it from the beginning - even if there are episodes I'd like to see because I missed them the first time around). I might also add JAG to the list of shows I want to see, but I'm unsure right now.

My AZ trip update and few pictures will be done when I feel like it. Obviously I don't feel like it right now. lol

I was hoping I'd miss the rain...

It's raining here in California and I have to take the bus to the airport. I was hoping I'd miss the rain. Meh!

I had such a rough night/early morning.

I went to sleep around midnight and I woke up a couple hours later thinking that it was time it get up but it was only 2 something! Went back to sleep and did the same thing at 3! Then a little later the cat was pissing my off by scratching on the side of the liter box so I was going to get up to deal with her, when OMFG I FELL OUT THE BED! I knew I was close to the edge of the bed, but I didn't realize I WAS on the edge of the bed! Thank God I didn't hurt myself. Only scratched my elbow on a wicker basket next to my bed. But I was freakin' scared! My falling also scared the cat so she stopped scratching on the liter box. So I got up, went to the freakin' bathroom, cleaned up my elbow then went back to my room. Sometime later there was more scratching so I got up AGAIN to close my room door.

Around 5 am I was beginning to wake up again. This time it was because of the rain. Though I didn't know it was rain right off the bat. I thought it was one of the neighbor's showering. Yup, I can hear the shower water of my neighbors. Then I remembered the weather people said it was going to rain so that's what it was.

My mom mentioned asking my sister if she could use her car so I wouldn't have to take the bus, but I don't know if she's going to do that now. It would be nice, but I don't think it's going to happen. My dad asked if I wanted him to got to the airport with me to help with my luggage. I said I could do it myself (which I can) and I mentioned that I didn't know what I was going to do because it was raining. Of course he didn't know it was raining. I think I'm going to ask him to go with me to the bus stop so I don't slip and fall trying to carry my suitcase, tote carryon and umbrella.

Meh! I hate the rain but we need it badly.

It's 6 am and I leave to catch the bus around 750 am. It's not raining right now and I hope it doesn't start back up anytime soon *knocks on wood* I need to pull out my boots and repack my suitcase and get dressed.

Today's my mom's 61st birthday. Today is also the 8th anniversary of the Columbine shooting and Hokie Day. I couldn't find anything maroon and orange to wear and my mom doesn't have those colors in yarn so she couldn't make me a little pin to wear. But in spirit I will be wearing maroon and orange.

To the contrary of There is No Arizona that's there I'll be this weekend. Won't be seeing the Painted Desert, Sonoma, The Grand Canyon, or sadly Monument Valley, but I'll be having fun nonetheless. And if I do see them, I probably wouldn't know what I was looking at (unless it was The Grand Canyon or Monument Valley). Have a wonderful Friday and I'll see if I can hop online and update sometime this weekend. If I can't I'll be home Tuesday night around 10 or 11 pm.

Dude!

A Scanner Darkly sucked! There were some funny moments, but for the most part I was confused and thinking "this was a waste of an hour and a half of time"

but I'm not laughing

You know what's funny?

being woken up at 5:15 am from a headache (and the cat...again!) stressing out over money...then checking your checking account online and seeing that you only have $0.94 to your name because you gave your last $40 to your parents.

But I'm glad that everything has come in and I'm NOT overdrawn like I thought I'd be and when I get back from AZ I can start stressing about something else.

I really need an assistant haha or a money manager or a sugar daddy. yes, a sugar daddy would be nice.

I'm waiting for 2 things I ordered though - Miranda Lambert's Crazy Ex Girlfriend (I pre-ordered it and should have it by the end of the month. Sony takes their sweet freaking time in shipping stuff!) and the top I ordered from Old Navy (I'm not sure when that's supposed to come). I pre-ordered some things from Amazon (one of my favorite places to order from) and many of them should be released May 1st and after so I need to make sure I have money in my account then.


Things I'm waiting for:
Deception Point by Dan Brown
Digital Fortress by Dan Brown
Crazy Ex Girlfriend CD by Miranda Lambert
Top from Old Navy
The No Nonsense Guide! Linspire Desktop Linux Operating System (Paperback) (my dad wanted it)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) (Hardcover) (I know I still have a few months for this one)
Out of Sync by Lance Bass (yeah even more of a wait for this one)
Call Me Irresponsible by Michael Buble

Bills, bills, bills:
Carnival (April) $80
Graduation things $60-$150
Carnival (May) $80
Passport (for me and possibly for my dad) $125 (each)
Carnival (June) $80
Citi Card (every month for next 26 months haha) $50
T-Mobile (every month until I get rid of it) $60
Netflix (every month until I get rid of it) $19.47


There's more, but I can't think of what they are. I'm going to see if I can go back to bed.

forget their help

I'm tired of waiting to know if I'm going to have help in getting the things I need for graduation so I'm going to do it myself. I'll go out and buy my own cardstock and make the announcements, Lora is letting me borrow her cap and gown (I hope it's not too long and too small lol), I think Licha (church friend) is going to search for cap picks to put in cupcakes for May 27th. I'll just order the certificate of appreciation for the church and my picture when it gets closer to graduation.

This week I'll work on how I want announcement to be so that when I get back from AZ next week I can look for paper and print them out. I have a few thank you cards from my high school graduation so I'll have to get a little bit more of those. I'll ask my mom to search for family addresses so that come May 1st (if not sooner) I can mail them out.

UGH! My computer is running VERY slow! It's annoying because I don't know if it's the computer or the websites I'm trying to access. In either cars, it's frustrating me!

I feel like crying and I don't know why. I'm going to lay down and wait for Dancing with the Stars.

Some of the BEST news I've heard in the morning

Angels & Demons is on it's way to becoming a movie! I'm so flipping happy!

If Digital Fortress and Deception Point become movies, I will be even more happy!

I just hope they don't ruin any of the books when they become movies. The Da Vinci Code stuck pretty close to the book, so I was okay with that movie.

*bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* *bounce*


Any suggestions on where my next trip should be to?

I'm hungry

I still haven't gotten around to watching A Scanner Darkly. That's okay though. I'll either watch it later tonight (after America's Most Wanted) or sometime tomorrow. Also have American Dreams to watch.

I slept away the time that was niece was here and my sister sure did make her presence known. I could hear her yelling at Jasmine for something. I managed to sleep through it (and I really wanted to get up in a huff and slam my door to show how I didn't care for the yelling). I think it was maybe 4 or 5 when I finally woke up. So I got a good 2 or 3 hours of sleep...I guess that's good.

I watched this movie called The Mighty and I didn't get to see the end of it. I liked what I saw so I'm going to have to add it to my netflix list. Then I think I fell asleep again, but I can't remember. lol I was laying down and flipping channels so much.

I complain too much so I'm going to end this now. I'm going to pick what I'm going to wear tomorrow, make something quick to eat and watch tv for another 3 hours or so.

Friday, April 13, 2007

I've been kind of productive today...

At least the last 3 hours or so.

Things I've done:

  • ate breakfast & lunch
  • got dressed & made bed
  • cataloged CDs (burned and purchased)
  • cataloged DVDs
  • Organized first story in Saving All My Love For You
  • Organized writing prompts that need to be worked on
  • cleaned bathroom
  • cleaned kitchen
  • cleaned living room
Things I still have to do:
  • catalog VHS tapes
  • hang up clothes in bedroom
  • work on Saving All My Love For You
  • work on Daily Writing Prompts
I can't think of anything else that needs to be done. I mean I could wash one of the load of clothes that's been here in the living room since my parents left, but meh! they're my parents things and my dad said he'd wash them. Ohh loophole! We don't have any more laundry soap. Yuss! Got out of doing that.

I better get to doing the VHS tapes. I don't have too many to do so I should finish them in about an hour.

It's been years since the last Indiana Jones movie

So I'm interested to see what happens in the next one that's set to hit theaters May 22, 2008

LaBeouf to star in new `Indiana Jones'


I just got finished watching Constantine and every time I DROOL over Gavin Rossdale as Balthazar. According to IMDb, he's in a couple more movies - one that's in post-production and another that's in pre=production. Cool.

And I only brought up Constantine because Shia LaBeouf is going to be in the Indiana Jones movie...as mentioned in the linked article.

Now back to what I was doing...cataloging my CDs. I'm almost done with it too.

Friday the 13th...wee

I'm supposed to be sleeping in right now...big shocker...I'm NOT!

My cat again, was scratching mindlessly at the walls of the liter box. I spent 30 minutes cleaning it and I added FRESH LITER and what do you know...still scratching at the walls of it. OMFG! I closed my door and tried to block the sound out. I guess it worked or something I don't know.

Then I had this crazy dream that I was in attendance of this lesbian wedding. I got to get all dressed up and I WAS SKINNY! lol but there was talking going on. Not soft whispering or anything like that, but hushed talking. First the guy preforming the ceremony said Shh, then the talking got louder and the wedding party started walking off. finally everyone just left. I was sitting next to my friend Crystal's boyfriend (I think). Outside in this plaza where everyone went I sat on this bench and there was this cute older (maybe in his mid-30s) man smoking. He finished and sat next to me but it was a bit too close for comfort so I scooted closer to the end of the bench. Then I woke up. I don't know what woke me up though.

Parents return tonight from Laughlin. Right now they're probably packing and going down to have breakfast. I think they'll leave the Colorado Belle about 10 am and head to another smaller casino at Stateline. Be there for a couple and then cross over into California. I don't know if they still have their 30 minute stop in Barstow though. But I figure they'll be back to the meeting point between 6 pm & 8 pm. I don't know if they have to go to the train station or not, but they have a 5 minute train ride to the station where they left the car, then about a 10 minute drive home...so between 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm they should be home. Now I have this gut feeling that the reason my dad didn't answer his phone was because he left it in the car, which really wouldn't surprise me since he leaves EVERYTHING in the car! He leaves his car a mess! fast cups and junk sales papers all over the place! Come Saturday night, he's scrambling to clean it out for Sunday's ride to church. I'm tempted to ask Lora if I can stay the night with her Saturday night. lol But I'll miss my computer. Gah I'm lame. lol

I was going to mention something else, but I can't remember now. Oh, yeah...A Scanner Darkly is supposed to come today. Tomorrow American Dreams (anyone remember that show? I really liked it and all the singers they had portraying other singers - off the top of my head Ashanti was Dionne Warwick of course I'd know that though lol) starts coming in. Sucks it was only on for a few years. Three years according to IMDb. This afternoon (or maybe this morning) I'll finish Constantine. I can't watch it at night because I'll scare myself. I did that Sunday night when I watched And Then There Were None at like 2 am. That's a psychological movie right there. Knowing that one among a group of people is the killer, but not knowing WHO...that's scary. And well it scared me and I ended up staying awake until 5 am Monday morning. lol I don't want to stay up until 5 am Saturday morning. We leave at 7 am or 8 am to do yard work! Then there's 4 hours of crafting time after that.

I think I covered everything that I can think of. I hope I don't spam like I did yesterday...and I hope the day goes by fast too. Wednesday went by really fast, especially since I was waiting for Brad...

Thursday, April 12, 2007

I just totally embarrassed my neighbor

and I feel bad. hehe

It's one of the neighbors I actually like and well she's in middle school or high school and she has a boyfriend, real good looking guy too...but anyways, he came to get her (well his family too) and this van pulls to a stop in front of my apartment and I was like wtf?! I didn't tell Brad exactly where I live! but then I see my neighbor Stefani walk by and she's holding hands with this guy.

a little aww may have escaped my mouth and she turned red. I didn't mean to embarrass her though. I thought it was cute. the guy let her into the van and then got in after her. as they drove off she waved to me. it was like so cute.

I hope I didn't embarrass her too much though.



I miss the days of my boyfriend coming over to get me to do stuff with his family! It's been like 9 years since that's happened. Gah it sucks being single sometimes!

Speaking of boyfriends...I got a pretty lame excuse from Brad last night as to why he never showed up...he didn't have $5.00 (1.25 for each bus - 2 buses yesterday and today) so he asked for a ride and his ride flaked and he spent the rest of the day trying to find a ride. WTF! Still could have fucking called me! That's exactly what pissed me off with David! We were supposed to do something for Halloween like 4 years ago, well it rained, but before that it was fine, but something in his car broke and he needed the money to fix it. He could have called and let me know. I would have been cool. Then like a year and a half later, when we were actually a couple he was supposed to come down for 4th of July and something came up with his car and he lost his job and blah blah blah. Fuck! it is so hard to call and tell me plans changed!? I wouldn't have been sitting up in nice clothes like a damn fool telling everyone that I'm waiting for my boyfriend!

He's just not that into you if he's breaking plans with you and doesn't bother to call and tell you.

Wednesday, April 11, 2007

I hope they got there in time

My parents left about 6:20 this morning heading to the train station to meet the bus to Laughlin. At 6:20 they should have been there already, not just leaving the apartment. When I woke up at 6 am I was expecting them to be leaving, not just getting dressed. I wasn't even going on the trip and I was paranoid they'd be left. Not because Brad's coming over, but because being left behind is a fear I always have when trip are involved. Hell, when I depend on someone else as my transportation, I have that fear of being left. I so was like, "you guys are gonna be late! you have to go!" So they finally left. My mom barely said goodbye, and if she did, I didn't hear her. LOL

I'm checking Carnival's website and I'm hoping the amount due has gone down from $390, if not, I need to call and ask someone what's going on. edit: it's still at $390. I gave my brother the payment information 3 or 4 weeks ago, plenty of time for him to pay. If he has paid, I don't know why it's not being updated on the Carnival site. I know that from my adding extra things (pre-paid gratuities) the amount was going to go down but "stay the same" at the same time. But why is it at $390 when my brother has had a month to pay his share? Assuming that my sister told him he didn't have to pay $200 (which I know is something she'd do!) I can break the remaining payments into 2 payments of $80 and 2 payments of $40...then I'm never doing anything big with my brother and sister (mostly sister) again. Final cruise payment is due July 19th. I wanted it paid off before then so that I could have the cruise documents in hand to give to my parents when I tell them about it. I need to tell my dad in the next few weeks that he needs to get a passport. Considering how the family funds are, that's going to be hard for him to do. Fuck!

I need to get dressed. Brad isn't due until about 11 am, but my mom told me I needed to take a book to the library today because it's due today. Leaving now will allow for me NOT to walk in the heat of later in the day. I can also stop by my bank and get some money out, though not too much since the check to the vet is still out, and Friday night Lora and I go to ticketmaster for baseball tickets.

I'll be back sometime tomorrow.

Tuesday, April 10, 2007

OMGosh

Former Smith boyfriend father of infant

part of me was thinking it'd be Howard's. But the oter part knew other wise.

So is this finally going to be over since Howard said he wouldn't fight for custody?

yay for baseball!

Looks like Lora and I will be going to a game after all. It won't be the Angels v Dodgers game because that was sold out on the day we had free to go, so now we're going to get tickets to the May 5th Angels v White Sox game.

I just hope that between now and Friday they don't sell out because the other game I picked was June 2nd against Baltimore. I don't want to wait 2 months to see a game lol *crosses fingers*

I'm so tempted to get season passes for next season. I'd go for Right Field MVP $10 per seat and $820 for the full season. I'd more than likely only be able to go on Fridays and Saturdays anyways. Though I could do a 23 Game Mini-Plan and I could plan everything else around those games lol

Some perks for the mini-plan:
  • Same seat location for each game on plan schedule.
  • Each plan features games against the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers.
  • Plan A includes 12 weekend (Fri-Sun) games and 12 promotions, and Plan B includes 8 weekend (Fri-Sun) games and 8 promotions. *
  • Postseason purchase is available. (One game per series.) **

$322 (or $14 per seat per game) isn't bad for 23 games.
I might do that for next season, since ya know, I'm going to be here for another year or 2.

Monday, April 9, 2007

It's time for that weekend update, huh?

Saturday: My day started at like 7:30 am in getting ready for the usual Saturday Yard Work that's done every week at the church. My parents, Lora, and Abe cleaned the yard up. I did my usual prep for Sunday's service – make bulletins and inserts. Seeing as it was the day before Easter, this Sunday's bulletin was different and I wanted to make sure there were no errors so I had to wait until about 10:30 for Colleen to arrive to show her and see if there were any errors I didn't catch. There weren't any so I ran the bulletins – 90 of them - and while those were going we had the final rehearsal for the Easter Cantata.

The rehearsal for the cantata lasted about an hour – we were done and out of the church by 12:15. My parents stuck around because they had to set up for Easter Lunch on Sunday. After rehearsal Lora and I did a bit of running around (back to my place for my camera and to drop off my things I didn't need to take to the zoo and then to her place for something for Staci and then to get Staci – she didn't go to the zoo) before meeting John and Colleen at the Zoo.

Zoo: We got there around 2:15 I think. That was fun. I didn't get to see any Elephants because their home was being remodeled, as was the home for the apes/gorillas (no poo was thrown at me!). I did get to see some howler monkeys and some chimps. Saw a really beautiful lion, I think a couple of tigers and alligator, lots of flamingos and ducks, lots of birds (other than ducks lol), the home for the aquatic animals was being remodeled as well, so I didn't get to see those. Also saw hippos, pretty giraffes, a couple of black bears and some other weird animals.

I think I saw a famous person while looking at some monkeys. I couldn't tell where he was from and I can't remember his name and I didn't want to seem weird taking a picture of him so I didn't. I thought he was in Soul Food but when we got to John and Colleen's I found out he wasn't. But I KNOW I saw him in some movie or tv show! At the end of the zoo trip we were coming out one of the gift shops and I saw him again. I was staring at him hoping I could either 1) work up the nerve to ask his name/where he was from or 2) take a picture of him to see if anyone else knew. But I didn't. While I was looking at him, he was looking back at me giving me that I know you know who I am, now what are you going to do about it? look. Needless to say, I didn't go anything about it. But he's a very good looking black man that's for sure.

After the zoo, John went to get pizza while Colleen, Lora and I went back to the house (John and Colleen's house). We had pizza, talked, looked at pictures online then at about 9 p.m. Lora and I left. We went to her mom and dad's to pick up some eggs and went to Lora's apartment. We watched tv and did the eggs. After the eggs watched more tv and I got home about 1 am. I would have stayed the night, but I didn't have any clothes with me. Pictures!

Sunday: Easter!!! The car battery was dead so I called Lora to see if she could pick us up and she did. We were at church from about 10:30 a.m. to about 3:30 pm! The Cantata was great (the choir consists of 12 people, including the leader and piano player) and there was over 100 other church members (combined English/Spanish service). After that was lunch and that was so yummy! Sadly, I forgot to take pictures at the lunch so there aren't any from me from the event. My mom brought home food to last the rest of the week, so I don't have to do much cooking, which is good since we don't have much food. lol When we got home I was up for about another hour before crashing at 4:30. I didn't wake up until 11:30 pm, got online and didn't go to bed until 5 am! OMFG! Pictures!

5 a.m. means that's Monday. Today is Monday and I've done a bunch of nothing. lol It's 1:35 pm and I just got out the shower. I'm fighting to comb my hair and then I need to vacuum, finish washing the dishes and maybe get around to watching An Inconvenient Truth.

I don't watch that many movies!

Especially not when it'll cost me more than $50/month!

Yesterday (Saturday) And Then There Were None, Aladdin and the King of Theives, and An Inconvient Truth came. I was too tried to start any of them seeing at how it was after 1 am when I got home. Then today, after church (update about that and the zoo tomorrow) I started Aladdin and the King of Theives but I kid you not, fell asleep at 4:30 and didn't wake up until 11 pm! 6 1/2 hours of sleep! I would have gone longer but my parents were arguing. My dad has a habit of eating or throwing away food that's sitting out, when clearly it looks like it's been eaten on. So my mom was pissed he threw out or ate a sandwich she made. I don't know. it was something. I got woken up. BTW, I'll have pictures to post tomorrow from the zoo and Easter.

Brad's spending the night Wednesday night. I hesitated saying anything because I know people don't like him. But he's making and effort and that's more than he did before. I'm finding that when I think he's NOT calling, he actually IS! Today I checked my voicemail on my cell phone. Wow! 6 messages from him six different days (not in a row or anything like that) saying that he was thinking of me, knew I was busy and that I probably wouldn't get to call him back, but that he would see and talk to me later. AND he's making even more of an effort to actually follow through with it (ie getting online right before either of us head to bed to see how my day was and to tell me he can't wait to see me). So last week sometime I invited him to my graduation and he accepted! That made me so happy too. I told him that I had to work that day, but that my dad/my parents and I would be by to pick him up. He said okay and to remind him as it got closer.

It's almost midnight. I need to end this, heat up my last piece of pizza and finish Aladdin Prince of Theives. If I'm still not tired I'll put on
And Then There Were None.

I hope everyone had a nice Easter or a nice Sunday.

I can't help but watch

I just saw a news piece that made my mouth hang open in shock.

Men in women in the military (reservists) who are loosing their jobs because they've been ordered to report for duty.

One person they focused on was a man who worked for the US Postal Service and his boss told him he took too many military days and right before the last time he went out (which ended up being 2 years) he was told to either pick the post office or military. So this particular man said that while he was fighting for his life in Iraq, he was fighting for his life back at his home.

Hello! You can't choose! That pissed me off that ANYONE would be put in that position.

A lot of figures were given as to how many claimes are filed with the US Government about this, but it was insane.

I'm looking for the article or video so that I can post it.

*happy dance*

I'm working the Star Wars Celebration IV May 22-28. I picked the same hours as my dad (with the exception of May 24 because of graduation and May 27 because of church).

I don't know what I'm going to do for those 2 days, but yay! extra cash!


Waiting for a reply e-mail from the supervisor as far as those 2 days go.

Hmm I wonder if I can take pictures while I'm there...

edit: oh crap. doesn't look like I'll be able to have the 24th off. Sheri said that I'd be done by 1 pm on the 24th so there goes getting my hair done and whatnot and that something could be worked out for the 27th. Oh well. I have something, so that's good.

edit 2: oh yeah, the work hours

Try to do something nice...

And it bites me in the ass!

I spent 1 1/2 hrs trying to help my mom find something she likes at Ashley Stewart and she kept saying, "I don't know...I like too many things..." OMG!

When I walked in there, I did a once over so that if I had money left over next week I could by myself something spring like. I found 3 cute halter dresses I liked but the only thing I didn't like was the $50 attached to it. FINALLY she decided on one of the 3 tops I picked for her and this necklace/earring set. She has like $12 left on her gift card.

After that we went to Payless so I could buy some shoes. So many shoes I wanted but not enough money! I'm clearing out those flip flops the next time I have money! They would look so cute with the halter dresses I picked. Anyways, I found some platform sandals that I may or may not wear with my Easter dress.

After Payless was the nail place. OMG that was just drama waiting to happen. Not between me and my mom, but between other customers and the nail people. Let me first say that I'm GLAD I don't live or work in the neighborhood. I CANNOT STAND the black people in that neighborhood! Loud, obnoxious and foul mouthed. My mom gets her manicure for $7, lets them dry and goes to get something to eat. I'm still getting my nails done and these 2 black ladies are going on and on about crap. First the guy isn't doing her nails right and so he starts to do them another way and what a shocker, that's not right either. Then the lady who was with her was pissed because no one was servicing her. Well HELLO! The manicurist asked her what she wanted and when the manicurist repeated it, the lady said no. So hell, the manicurist moved on to someone else! Finally the guy manicurist got fed up with the first lady (who kept bringing up the fact that she was just operated on the week before) and asked another lady (who finished doing my nails) to finish this lady. So Diane (the lady who did my nails) is working on this lady and apparently doing it the "right" way. The the lady asks Diane how much, Diane said $28 - $12 for the fill, $4 for cut down and $12 for pedicure. That pissed the lady off. This that and the other about how it was too much and then she asked the girl if it was too much and blah blah blah. Diane's trying really hard tobe nice, but I could tell this lady was pissing her off. Then the lady was like, "fine, I want airbrushed too. I came in with that and I want to leave with that" so Diane tells her that it'll be $10 more. On the price chart airbrushing is $10 and up. That pissed the lady off even more. "You mean, I gotta pay to put something back on that I came in with? That's fucked up!" or something to that effect. I didn't want to get involved, but she was pissing me off saying that Diane and the other workers did crappy work. So I was like, "On the price chart it has $10 for airbrushing, you have to pay for it." to which the lady replies, "That's fucked up I'm leaving." she stands and goes to take her money, but Diane takes it first. Bad move on Diane's part because this lady is even more pissed (wouldn't have thought it was possible, but it happened). she's yelling at Diane to give her the change back and that's what Diane did. Gave her $2 back (math: 28 from 30 equals 2). The lady is stil pissed and Diane's like, I'm calling the police (aka mall security). They come 5 minutes later, rehash everything and by this time, I was leaving. I told them what I saw (explaining it better than Diane and the customer) and they said I could go. I don't know what happened after that, but security said that the lady shouldn't come back if she didn't like the service. I know that Diane's not going to let them come back in. I don't blame her either!

Whew! That was a nice hour nail session! I sit in the car eating and telling my mom what happened and we head to pick my dad up. Then he picks up his dry cleaning, drops my mom off at the retirement home and drops me off before going to the library. And I'm home alone. My sister picked her kids up from school so for the next 3-4 hours I'm home alone. NIIICE!

Speaking of retirement home...one of the homes my mom volunteers at needs a weekend receptionist. Working around old people weirds me out, but I figure, I could use the money. Monday my mom is going to get more information for me about it. If I do go through with it I'll be working Saturday and Sunday. Yes! No church! I'm so bad, but church is so boring.

I'm going to change my pants, eat the rest of my Chinese food and watch some tv.

A lot of guys think the larger a woman's breasts are, the less intelligent she is. I don't think it works like that. I think it's the opposite. I think the larger a woman's breasts are, the less intelligent the men become.
