Journey - Don't Stop Believin' |
] |
So I have had the most fun these past few days. More than I have had in a long time. Yesterday (Saturday) I went to weigh in in the morning and after being good all week I still gained 1.6 lbs. So that puts me back down to only 18 lbs lost. Sad day! Then I went to get my hair cut, and got all sorts of fun stories from the lady that cuts my hair. And I came to the realization that I think I just want to get my bachelor's ASAP and then move to Florida. And I think she was the one who suggested that I might be able to find a hospital down there that also does tuition reimbursement. Yay for that! After that, I came back home and then backed for a night of fun and adventure at Ferris with Leah and Kendry...
So I hit the road for Big Rapids, and we had planned a day trip down to Grand Rapids to go shopping and pig out down there. Just what the doctor ordered, eh? So anyway, I get there and Leah and Kendry tell me that we might have a tag-along on our road trip: Tony. So we finally got ahold of Tony and he wanted to come with us. After about an hour of hanging out and doing the tour of my 2 Bond Girls' rooms, and stopping to see Matt Armstrong over at DPS, we were on the road. So we drive down there uneventfully until we try to find the mall in Grandville. Oh dear. Once we got through the S curves we realized that we were completely lost. So Kendry calls her madre and she gives us directions. Turns out we need to listen to Leah when she tells us where to turn. We also learned that twice more throughout the night. Read on.
Once we found the mall, it wasn't as fun as we thought it would be. Maybe that was because we had Tony with us and it wasn't a girly day of shopping as we had anticipated. Who knows. So we shopped and all I found was a sweatshirt from Old Navy for about $17. Go me and spending the money. So after a while at the mall, Tony needs his 18th cigarette of the day and we are hungry, so we head out. Kendry really wanted to introduce us all to the Macaroni Grill, so we had to find that. Leah suggested we turn left, but we went right, which wasn't the best of ideas (once again, she was right). So we go right, and fortunately we got to pass the *it's really a place!* Area-Wide OB/GYN. Holy shit that was funny to us. At least it made Leah, who was sulking in the back seat, laugh a bit. Hee hee... So we finally got back to 131 to go back into GR. Then we got through the S curves and were lost again. Note to self: No more taking random off-ramps in Grand Rapids. We ended up in a shitty part of GR, so we had to call Kendry's house again. Oh dear. So her dad tells us to get back on 131 and then to find 28th street. 15 minutes later, we finally found the damned place, however I suck at big-city driving, so it was a big ordeal just to turn into the Macaroni Grill. Ugh. So we finally get in and sit down, and Tony ended up with a complex because our waitress, who had a keen skill for writing her name upside-down, would only look at him when she talked to us. Weirdo. Then she told him that if he ever pulled her over (He's a CJ/Law Enforcement kid like the other 49% of Ferris) he had better let her go because she was just so nice to him. *Barf* Tony was nice enough to buy us dinner, so that was sweet.
On the ride back to Big Rapids, Kendry and I were the only ones who talked. So hilarity ensued for us, while the other two sat in the backseat and didn't talk. Fun times. We finally got back to Big Rapids at about 8:30, just in time to head to my favorite store, WALMART. Lol.
So we go to Walmart because I wanted to wear something cute because we were going to go to the bar for Patrick's birthday. I had never been to a bar, other than Streeters, which doesn't count because it was 2 years ago and I couldn't drink. So we found some way cute stuff at Walmart, and I spent about $55 dollars there on crap that I probably didn't need. Although I found some very cute shirts, one of which Kendry stole for the night, another of which I wore to the Hideaway, the bar we went to.
So we go back to the Bond Girls' room and get all cute and such, and walk to the Hideaway. We get there and nobody is there, which is okay. Kendry had talked me into doing a shot, something else I have never done. So I have lost my Hideaginity, my Shotginity, and my Barginity already. So Leah, Kendry and I all have a Dirty Girlscout shot, which is quite fun. Then we ordered a pitcher of beer, which we split amongst the three of us. A big table finally opened up, and Diana got there with Patrick and his fiance. Fun times. So we move over to the table, and by that time the shot had kicked in and I was about ready to rip my clothes off because I was so hot. Agh! Scary thought, eh? Yeah, I know. :) So after a while I got sick of drinking beer, which is something I have only started drinking this week (I tried a Corona the other night at home...yum!). So all night all I wanted was a margarita, which nobody thought they served there. But then it dawned on me that there can't be (well, maybe there can) a bar that doesn't serve margaritas! So I finally got one, and boy did she put a whole bunch of Jose Cuervo in there. Ah, so good it was! So Leah, who only "drinks when [she] smokes...no wait! [She] only smokes when [she] drinks" Kendry, Diana, this guy named Eric and I all just sat around for a while because Patrick was so tired and went back home. And it was his birthday! Oh dear. We finally left there at about 1:30, because we wanted to go back and order pizza.
So we went back to Bond and got some yummy pizza and went to bed at 3 this morning. Oh how fun. Then we got up at noon today and burned a whole bunch of CD's before I had to leave for home. I got into town, took a shower, and then Liz came over. So we went out to La Senorita with my parents, so of course, I had to introduce Liz to the wonderful world of margaritas. They must be good if Jimmy Buffet writes songs about them, eh? LOL. Then we came back here and added books to our reading list from the Barnes & Noble top 100 of the hour, and talked with my parents for a while. When Ron found out that there were things that Liz needed for her apartment at school, he took her "shopping" in our basement for things. So rather than donating to Goodwill, we just donated to Liz. Oh dear.
After she left I moved my room around a bit, putting my papasan in the corner where the desk was, and moving the desk to the spot the papasan occupied. I like it a lot better now, because I still have my little reading nook, but I can watch TV in my chair now. Yay! I will have to post pics later.
Okay, my arms are tired, and I am done with stories for now. And Leah, I hope you had fun at Big Ra-applebees... :)
Let's reflect as to what I have learned this weekend:
1. Don't waste time going to Grand Rapids to shop. Go to Walmart instead.
2. When Leah tells you to turn, just do it so she doesn't sulk in the backseat.
3. I know way more Journey songs than I thought I did!
4. When burning CD's, don't use the first purple one. They make better decorations anyways.
5. Tony is easily paranoid, and he likes mirrors way too much.
6. Beer makes you pee. A lot.
7. Liz and I will always be geeks for our love of good books.
8. Beer also makes you have some really crazy dreams.
9. I will never make out with David, seeing as how he is never around. Ditto with Matt.
10. I need my camera the next time we pass the Area-Wide OB/GYN.
11. The man at the Hideaway doesn't know his way around TC, although he claims to live here.
12. Dirty Girlscouts are quite good, as well as expensive.
13. Don't put a lime in beer that isn't Corona. Ever.
14. Diana is going to Western.
15. I want to move to Florida more than I realized.
16. When donating to charities, consider Liz. :)
17. Pizza can be eaten for breakfast. Although I did not do this, I did learn it.
18. Kendry's floor is not a good place to sleep. Not even after drinking.
19. I love those "empty calories." Screw you, Weight Watchers!
20. 3-day weekends are sooooo wonderful
21. Don't wear 3/4 sleeved shirts to the bar.
22. There are not many cute boys at the bar in BR on Saturday nights. :( Sad day!
23. I need to get my ass in gear and go to school again and just get it over with.
So that is what I have learned. I had more fun last night than I did in the 3 months I was down at Ferris wasting my time and money. That's all she wrote.

| New Pics |
[29 Aug 2004|11:21pm] |
I decided that I should update (again)... So last weekend we finally painted my room, so here are the before and after pics! :)
Before it was a crazy green color, which I found out everyone hated...
After, it turns into a purple that my mom loves and Kendry calls "very modern"...
Aside from painting, not much is happening. I'm trying to decide between the job that I have right now and the job that I had last summer. I think that if I stay with the one I have now I can convince Nancy to let me advance to the next level, which pays a lot more. That is a good thing, but I don't know if she would let me since eventually I want to go back to school. Hmmm...I think that I will talk to her about it tomorrow.
Good luck to all of you cats who start classes tomorrow!! :)

| So bored... |
[18 Jul 2004|01:22am] |
Life hasn't gotten much better as far as entertainment goes. Today, to spice up the usual driving around, Kendry and I headed out to Leland ("Fishtown"), which turned out to be...well, boring. We did get lost for about 1.5 minutes, but that was about as fun as it gets. I just remember it being a lot better in years past. The last time I went was with Mark, and we had lunch at the Bluebird and just bummed around...went to the fun bookstore that is there. *sigh* Plus I used to go a lot with my grandma...also to the Bluebird, which was a lot of fun. I guess it just isn't as fun anymore. Oh well. Then we came back to town and ate our lunches at the beach. Well, in the car at the beach. :)
Not much else is too exciting. I have a new crush on a guy I met yesterday, who I will probably never see again, so he really isn't worth mentioning much. Sad day. Ummm...other than that I have just been working a lot and going to the gym after work. Fun times. I did see Xander last weekend, so that was fun. He's getting bigger, but he is in preemie clothes since he is such a little guy. Hopefully he'll be slightly more entertaining than he is now in the near future, because watching him sleep gets old quickly.
Okay, I am off to bed, or something like that. Just thought I would update while I was bored.

Margaritaville, of course! |
] |
Oh yeah...I finally know why Jimmy Buffet was so inclined to write Margaritaville. :) Last night I went out to the casino with my mom and her friends from downstate. We went down there on Sunday to go to Matt's open house (who got really hot over the course of 3 years-even though he is only 18), and then they drove up here on Monday to, well, act like those fudgies we all know and love. Anywho, we went out to Turtle Creek with Cheryl, Mark, Matt, Tom, Tom's wife, Jim, his son Christopher (more on him later!), and Ann. I think that was it. So I only lost $10, and I made my mom buy me a drink... Hell, the birthday was 2 weeks ago, but I have to milk it for all it's worth. So I started out with a daquiri, then had a bahama mama, then Jim decided I had to have a margarita. I must have had them pretty slow, because I didn't feel it at all. So we got back at about 2 this morning.
Ummm...Christopher was nice, totally the type that I used to go for (glasses, khakis, even the button-down collar on the shirt!), but who knows. He just graduated from Hope with a degree in chemistry, and in a year he's going to go to grad school at State in hopes to be a vet. So I don't know. His dad is so much fun, but he was kind of a bump on a log the whole night. I guess it didn't help that he was playing the tables and I was playing slots. Oh well...there's always that certain boy at the coffee shop. Yeah. I need to get up the nerve to talk to him so that we can set up a tentative time to go camping. Or maybe I should just find someone else.
Que mas? Cyrina finally had the baby, on the 10th. He's so cute! Too cute and cuddly for his name! They stuck with Xander Brock, but it is growing on me, I think. It's quite funny to see my brother as a dad now...something I never thought I would see. But he's really good with him, and I think that this is quite funny. I came home that night and told my mom that I changed my mind and am going to marry a Catholic so I can have a ton of kids. Ah, but I got through that phase. :) Maybe I just need a kitten to keep me company. *sigh*
So tonight, since I never heard from that person that I am out with all of the time, I just came home and chilled. Caught up on the Real World (oh dear), and had daquiris with the parents. How bad... Actually, they were really nasty, so most of mine went down the sink. Sad day.
Anywho, off to bed...

| Ho hum...life is boring |
[13 May 2004|06:28pm] |
So I decided that since I was begging and begging Leah to hook me up with a LJ (and Heidi, too!) I should actually make use of it. Here goes.
Today is Leah's birthday. And Heidi's birthday! And May 13th is the inverse of my birthday! Hee hee... :)
I started a new job on Monday. It's still in registration, but I am up in central scheduling, and I have my own desk. All I do is work on the verification report, but as long as I can listen to fun cd's and not get yelled at by mean patients, I am happy. Today I had to work in ARTC, but I only reg'd one patient, since I was covering for Patty and she is precepting for this new girl. So I made the new girl do all of the work. Yay! Then I got bored, so I begged Karen to let me go back to my own desk, so from 12:30 to 5 I was back up there.
My grades were finally all posted:
History: 3.0
Social Interviewing Skills: 3.5
Guitar: 3.5
Marriage & the Family: 4.0
So it's a 3.76, which is what my cumulative GPA for NMC is anyway, so that isn't bad. At least I'll be on the dean's list again! I was worried that I wouldn't be, since I had anticipated a 2.5 in History. That's what happens when you don't read the last 400 pages of the book. Go me and the slacking off! I was also surprised with my guitar grade, since I realized that I am pretty much a failure as a guitar player. *sigh* Oh well.
I think that I am going to talk to a state police recruiter to see if I want to join their academy instead of doing the one through NMC. If I went through NMC I would only be able to get a job with the city police department or the sheriff's department, and the state police will pay you to go through their academy. Kendry said her mom told her that they are looking for more women/minorities to go through the state academy anyway, so maybe I can get in! I just have to pass the background check... *insert evil laughter here*
Not much else is new. Last night Kendry, Lindsay and I went to the beach and just bummed around town. I forgot that there is nothing to do in TC. Tonight we might all get together and watch Kill Bill Vol 1, but that is still up in the air.
Okay, this is a long enough update. Hopefully I'll get off my lazy ass and update more often. Hmm...what a concept. :)

God, it has been a while since I have updated. Lots of new changes...
First, change of major. I decided last week that this social work thing is for the birds, and that there is no way that I am going to be able to do this (and be sane) for the next 50 years. So, time to change majors. To what, you ask? Law Enforcement. Yes, that's right...I'm going to be going through the police academy in the fall. Well, hopefully. I have a whole list of questions to ask Al about, but hopefully this works out. I'd be done and certified in a year as long as I can pass the Cooper test (all that physical training had better pay off!).
Change of hobby: knitting! Just ask Hyram-he can tell you about my new yarn and all of the plans I have for it. We saw a commercial the other day for a nursing home and all of the old ladies were sitting around knitting, and my mom pointed to it and said, "Hey, look! There's you!" Ummm...or something like that! :) So I am knitting a scarf right now, and its pretty cute. The only thing is that I can't tell all of those cop boys about my hobby, or I would definitely be getting my ass kicked.
Still no job in the lab, but that is probably because I won't be able to work full time in the fall. :( Sad day! But it sounds like I might be getting more hours in PDSS this summer. Not 40, but I will have to just find another part-time job for the summer, methinks.
Cyrina's baby shower is on Sunday, and I have to call and make sure that they found out they are having a boy for sure. 2 more months and I'll be an aunt. I decided to call him X Brock, since I think Xander is a strange choice. Maybe we'll luck out and they will have a girl! Or pick a new name... God, I am terrible!!
Not much else is new. Okay, so I made it sound like I had loads of news. My life, however, is never that thrilling. Oh well.
More some other day, I have homework to do for my least favorite class, Social Interviewing Skills. At least it's the last chapter! Yay!!

I went bowling tonight for the first time in forever, and it was a ton of fun! :) I went with Kristina and this girl named Amanda from the MMC cafeteria, whom I met yesterday when we went to the gym. Anywho, they are bowling with these 3 guys, who are brothers. Ron is the oldest, and he's 25. Then there was Steve (Scuba Steve), who is 21ish (?), who doesn't talk much. Lastly, there is the metrosexual, Kevin. Ummm...yeah. So we bowled 2 games, and I didn't do so well. But we had a ton of fun, and I ran into Keri there. So we exchanged numbers, and decided we might have to carpool down to east lansing together sometime. Oh dear...that would be an adventure, I'm sure...
Anywho, I am off to bed now, since I have to be up for a stupid WW meeting (hey, it might be a happy one), and then to work again from 12-8:30. Oh! I almost forgot...the scary security guard was there. Eeek! Anywho, I am all hyper and am going to try to catch some z's... :0)

Diane and I were talking at work today about what we would do if we won the lottery. Which we're not trying to do. But it is fun to think about. So at first I thought that I would definitely go out and get a degree from some Ivy League school. But then I thought about it, and decided to scratch that plan. So I finally figured it out. I would buy a houseboat. An old, fun-looking one. And I would live in Key West. And drink margaritas, watching the most obnoxious sunset in the world...one that, as I read in a book, only God could get away with. Of course, there would be some fishing and snorkeling, but other than that, I would do a whole lot of nothing. Ah yes, that would be the life... :)

So I just talked to Kristina, and we are going to work out on Friday night after I get out of work. So that will be fun to have someone to talk to while I burn those calories! :o) Plus I think that it will just be a lot of fun to start hangning out with her again.
Umm...the good news that I can't believe I forgot to share this week is that I am down 16.4 lbs now. Go me! I still have more to go, of course, but it is fun to have to wear a belt with all of my pants so that my ass doesn't hang out. Hee hee...that wouldn't be fun. Plus my clothes for work are looking better, so that is happy.
I went to social interviewing today and my test came back to me...22/25 isn't too bad. The homework, unfortunately, was something that I completely bombed. I had no idea what I was doing when I was trying to do it, so that is probably why I did so poorly. Does that mean that I should change majors?? I hope not! Nah, but at least she told me that I can rewrite it and submit it again for more points next week. So I will definitely be working on that this weekend.
And I am going to go see my Kendry this weekend. So I work saturday from 7:30-4, and then I will be on my way down to Big Rapids. It'll be fun to see Leah and everyone again, although I'm sure that they are dreading it already. Hee hee. Maybe not though... Plus Tyler will be there, so that will be a lot of fun too.
Okay, time to go do something mor productive than sitting my ass in front of the computer all night. Even though it is almost 1 am, which means that I should be in bed, sleeping so I can get up for guitar (and work) tomorrow morining. Fun times.

Isn't it funny to think back to how you have changed since high school? I don't know, but this is something that has been on my mind the past few weeks or so. How does it feel when you see people who used to know you, but they wouldn't have the slightest clue as to who you are now. What you've done in the past 3 years. Who you've met. Who you've dated. How your ideas have changed. Ah, such is life. Que sera, sera, I suppose. But it's just weird to think back to the relationships and friendships you had then. And the things that were important then that are so insignificant now...only memories now. Just gets me to thinking about choir jokes, Ben's bunny hair, Walter and trash cans, Mark, my rivalry with Katie Kramer, worrying about image (when it wasn't as bad as I thought it was)... And then to have someone fall in love with the person that so many people back then didn't know. How things change. Image isn't important now. Nor that certain rival from years past. No more choir kids. Ben's bunny hair? Haven't seen that in forever. Mark? Who is he? Ha ha! Although I still wonder what has happened to him, I no longer hate him. Instead, I just see that time in my life as a freeing moment. Yes, it was like my heart was being ripped from my chest and tied to his car as he drove away, but that was also a happy thing. Because if he had not done that, where would I be now? I wouldn't know the strength that I have within myself to make it through the things I have made it through. Alone. With friends. Parents. Coworkers. Ah yes, there have been some interesting coworkers. And it sucks to see friendships dissolve. But maybe you have freed them, as well, in a weird way. But I wouldn't trade this for anything. Yes, I have been a man-hater. Convinced Ben that I was gay (which was quite a funny night at F&M Park). Lost friends. Met new ones. Moved away. Moved back (lol). And found myself. Found someone who loves me despite the fact that I can be "difficult" at times. How strange to wonder if you have found the person to spend the next 50, 60, 70 (or more!) years with. Crazy! And that no matter how many times you break up, everyone knows that you are going to get back together. Now that is just plain weird. Stop that! Hee hee... So anywho, this is just what I have been thinking. That even if I saw a certain someone from years ago, perhaps he would have something just as wonderful happen to him. I can't pretend that he isn't living. But I can hope that he is having as much luck as I am. But I don't need to know about it. And he doesn't need to share in my happiness either. It's all about letting go, I suppose...
In other news: I talked to Tiff tonight, and she is doing well. She bought a new truck and she will be driving back to TC at the end of the month. So hopefully we will be able to see her (in between visits with Chad). Hee hee...yay for Tiff.
Time to go to bed, me thinks.

I suppose it's time to update since I haven't in a long time. I've just been working and doing the school thing...BORING! Oh well.
There is a new job opening as a credit interviewer that I am wondering if I might be able to get. The lady that does it in our department is transferring to another department, so I might as well try for it. Plus they want someone who will work weekends and such, which I would definitely do. And I'd have my own office! Hey, hey! Who knows, they probably need a ton of education and training and stuff, but I might as well go to human resources tomorrow and find out. When the new surgical center opens, I have a feeling that I would be getting totally screwed as far as my hours go, so who knows.
Ummm...weight watchers is going well. I have lost 12.8 lbs, and this has been a hell of a week already. For those of you who want to feel sorry for me, I only have 6 more flex points to last me until Monday. Yeah. I started with 35. It's been a hard week! Hee hee...
Oh! Tiffany is leaving Iraq on Friday adn she will be in Georgia by the 10th. Sounds like she is excited about coming back to the states, as one would imagine. And then she'll be in TC for a 2 week leave later on this month. Yay!!
Yeah, boring life. I've decided I need to find new friends who have the same interests as me. Yup yup. Ha! But where on earth am I going to find those? Who knows. Ones who have goals that are more important than image to them. Anywho, this is just me ranting, and this is probably a bad place to do it. Yes, I think so.
I've decided not to get a Jeep. Sad day! But instead I am going to start looking at Civics when my loans are paid off. I should be able to find one at a decent price that is used, and it will be a lot more dependable (and cheaper on gas!) than a Jeep would have been. Plus a certain someone would shit bricks if I had a newer Civic than she does (which isn't hard, since hers is a 92!). :o)
I saw Cyrina today, and she is FINALLY showing. So she looks fatter than me! LOL. Well, maybe not, but she's bound to get a lot bigger. So we talked for about 5 minutes or so, and it sounds like they really like their new apartment. My mistake, they aren't in Bayhill, but they are still off of Verteran's.
Okay, I am going to go focus on something else. Perhaps sleep... Kendry is coming home on Friday, but I doubt that we'll see very much of each other. She'll be working, and so will I, and it seems we never hang out when she is in TC anyway. Oh well...busy girls, I guess. Or something like that.

Grrr...it sucks when you try on things that used to fit you and they don't fit anymore. I found a pair of jeans that I wore over the summer, and I took them to school with me, and of course they don't fit still. Well, they fit, but the really accentuate my fat stomach. So now I am wondering if I was in Fat Girl Denial, or if they really did fit back then. Because right now I weigh less than I did when I moved to school, so I can't figure it out. Unless I have lost weight in different ares. Like my ankles. Hee hee. Yeah, whatever. So I went to the WW meeting yesterday and I lost again, 2.6 lbs. So that brings me to 12.4 lbs so far. Not bad, not bad at all. Lots more to go though. But it is fun to shop in my closet again. Too bad the jeans aren't fitting yet, however soon enough they will fit I'm sure.
Not much else is going on. I think I am going to bed soon-my stomach is upset (from eating and then working out, perhaps?). Plus I have another friggin' headache. I think it is work--I felt fine until I was leaving work tonight. Darn it! :( Yup yup...life has been boring otherwise.

Once again, not much is new here. I went to the WW meeting today and I gained, but it wasn't a lot. Only 0.2 lbs. So hopefully I will be down again next week. I think that with valentine's day and other factors, it shouldn't have been a surprise that I gained. And it wasn't, really.
Hyram came up for the weekend, and we hung out on friday and saturday. I ended up getting really sick after we had dinner on saturday, so that sucked a lot. We came back to my house and watched Where the Heart Is...a super-cute movie. Yay! So I was up for about 19 hours between work and hanging out with him. So then on Sunday I slept half of the friggin' day away. I went to bed at 2, got up at 2, and napped from 4-7. So I had a really hard time getting to sleep after that. Yeah, I was up until 4am, but that was fine because I didn't have class until 2:35 anyway.
Class was interesting...Mrs. Douglass again. We covered 2 chapters in class, and one of them was all about children-deciding to have them and whatnot. If I have to hear anymore about Andrew and Christopher and how WONDERFUL they are, I am going to start taking payments. I think I could begin my retirement fund on that along. But seriously, she was saying that she thinks Andrew is just the most perfect creature and all of this crap. Yeah? And Mr. Perfect just loves to have sex with minors and get head on busses bound for Canada, I guess. Weird. Hopefully she doesn't know how much her son hates me...ah, that would be interesting. We got our first unit test today, so I don't have class for two weeks. That is awesome, but I have a lot of work to do, with the test and all of the journals that I had neglected to do. Bad Missy!
Que mas? I have to work today (technically today, I suppose), and it is going to suck. I have to run the control desk by myself since the person who was there started in IV Therapy today. So I have to be the liason between chart prep, the patients, and the registrars. Go me and the responsibility. I have 2.5 hours of training on Encompass on Friday, so I will finally be able to do the job a bit better. But this is going to be scary. I will be glad when they get someone else trained and I can stop doing Debbie's job for good. Then I will have to work the week of Spring Break, and then pick up hours here and there until this summer, and who knows what is going to happen then. I have to do my internship too, and I am thinking that I am going to call up Rosa from Learning Partners and see what she can hook me up with. Hopefully that is something that I can do that will count for something. Or else something else with the probate court. Fun times.
Okay, I have to either finish doing homework or go to bed. Guitar and work tomorrow...

Okay, you have to go to this link. I am still laughing my ass off! And make sure you have the sound on for this one, it's worth it. Just not too loud, okay? Now that you have turned your sound down, click away!

In other news, I have officially lost 10 pounds. And I am caught up on my homework. Go me! But I am facing even more problems at work (I think Nancy has her weekly therapy by yelling at me...on Tuesdays...every week!). Oh well, there really isn't much I can do. She wants me to drop guitar and pretty much quit weight watchers so that I can cover until they have someone for the position I am working for the next month. Hell no! But my priorities are a little messed up, according to her. Ah, such is life.
Okay, I am going to do something else now. Bye bye.

I am eating cake. Not just cake, it's store-bought cake. I was having this major craving for it when I was in class, so I went to Tom's afterwards and bought one of those pre-packaged slices. Oh, it's so good! And they put it in the points thing for one of my weight watchers things last week, so I knew that I had to have it. But now that I have eaten it, maybe that wasn't such a good idea. *sigh* I will just have to work out more this week, I suppose.
I have to rant about MTV for a minute. I watched The Real World last night, and I was really pissed after watching it. Aside from the fact that all these people do is get drunk and feel hungover, two of them were arrested on last week's show, and the one last night focused on getting them out of jail. To one of the girls, some of the people told her that being in jail just gets better, and that your first time is the one that is really bad, but after that it isn't so bad. WHAT THE HELL?! So what are we telling America's youth? That jail really isn't that bad. Plus the girl's dad just sent her the money to bail her out, and if he was pissed about it, the show edited that out, because he didn't seem that mad about it. Then there is Newlyweds. Sorry, Leah, I have to rant. Yes, it is awesome that Jessica Simpson was a virgin until she was married, and some would argue that that makes her a good role model. But she is so stupid! Yeah, maybe she is just hamming it up for the camera, but come on! And all she does is whine and spend money. I can do that. I don't need a show about it. I don't know, maybe I am just being pissy...
Oh, Nancy sent me an email today, and I'm working 30 hour per week until the second week in March. That will allow me to save up quite a bit of money, I guess. Plus I am working in PDSS over spring break (all week), so that is some more money. I guess that I still need to keep my options open as far as a part-time job goes. Kendry's suggestion of Michael's or Bed Bath and Beyond would be fun, but I might not get a paycheck at those places. Hee hee...
Okay, time to do some homework and such. Ugh.
