Drama: A Release of it All

vacation, all i ever wanted...

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 03:12:02 GMT

~some crazy lightning in the sky. i guess storms are rolling in, which is fine with me. as long as it's not tomorrow lol. but yeah, i look outside to see if it's raining or anything (no, but it smells like it will), and it's like paparazzi in the sky, and it all reflects off the windows lol. crazy.

so i think i have everything ready to go for tomorrow. anything i can't pack yet is set aside, and i don't think i'm forgetting anything. hopefully not anyway lol. and the online check-in went okay, so after i check my bag i should be all set. i'm just hoping the whole change-over thing goes okay. i always get nervous with stuff like that, but i just have to remind myself that airports are designed to be easy to navigate, and i shouldn't have to go far to change planes anyway. but i'll keep my fingers crossed anyway lol.

so that's it for me for a little while! i'm looking forward to getting away and enjoying myself and relaxing. and harry potter, of course! have a good week, everyone!

moon is walking

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 01:10:34 GMT

~i totally forgot that the last song (well, pre-credits lol) in moonwalker is "come together"! i wonder if that's why i like that song so much. hmm. but it was nice to rewatch that movie, but at the beginning where they show all his stuff and the pictures...it was kinda sad. it was almost like a memorial. sad.

so i had all this stuff i wanted to do today. yesterday i relaxed and added stuff to my ipod. today...i woke up with a headache. ugh. i was sitting on the couch, when i stood up it was just a wave of pain. it took a while to get dressed. but i ran the dishwasher and my mom came by and i vacuumed, which was nice. then we went back to her house so i could find a suitcase. and i took moonwalker, too lol, which i just finished watching. i have some clothes set aside, so i'll kinda start packing. after i do laundry. i did sheets and towels yesterday to get that outta the way, and i'll do my clothes tonight cuz i might need something outta there.

bad thing was, aside from the headache, the vacuum had an argument with it's belt, and it got smelly. when i got back home and walked in the door, it was so gross. so i opened the sliding door and put the fan on and lit candles. haha...it's better now, but man...eww. i was like, i'm gonna take out the trash and get some air!

so...yes. getting stuff done. ordered food that'll last me thru tomorrow yay. i didn't call renee, though. tomorrow. and i guess we're set for chicago now too. ticket prices went down like $40 and my dad got it all set thru work. so yay! when i go back to work, i just gotta make sure that the weekend before the week i took off i can also take off...that was weird syntax lol. anyway...we'll be gone sat-sat, so i obviously can't work sat lol. and the cubs will be in town, so we're gonna try to go see them! yay! i've never actually been to wrigley, so i'm excited.

alrighty, gotta go get some pjs on so i can throw everything in the wash. then i can kick back and watch bones and then ace of cakes! ahh, vacation.

it's raining and the sun is out

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 23:48:00 GMT

~today was strange. judy called out cuz she had to work her other job, so we thought maybe robin could just stay. she couldn't, but i could cover for the 2 hours until steph came in. no biggie. it's not like i'm training today lol. and then i was gonna leave at 3.

ed called out (which was weird to me only cuz i had been thinking about that the other day. like...maybe ed will call out and i can hang out in the back helping and not see susanne at all. go fig), and i said i'd go help price cuz i was done already with price changes. cuz susanne was saying she was gonna go help, but i was like, no, you do your stuff and i'll go. so that was awesome lol. alex was like, uh, yeah, i'd rather work with you back here lol.

so this morning was just fun cuz alex and i just goofed around back in receiving. he kept bugging me about how we have to hang out, so we decided at some point when i'm back from la we'll go see transformers lol. i'm like, whatever, haha. and i'm less worried about him meaning anything more cuz we were talking about something and he asked me why i don't have a boyfriend. and i was like, how am i supposed to answer that!? i just don't. (cuz i certainly wasn't gonna say it's cuz i'm in love with an idiot who i had a weird and short conversation with this weekend. no one wants to hear that lol) and he was like, well, no there can be a reason. cuz he said he didn't want any relationship at the moment cuz he went thru some stuff before but now it's all getting better and he's just focusing on himself and he's good with that. so in my head, i was like, okay, so no worries on my part. but then he kept trying to push my buttons and he's like, i just wanna piss you off cuz i think you're cute when you're angry. i was like, dude! don't say that! haha...it was amusing. but yeah, there was some backing up and stuff, but we pretty much just hung out and had fun.

then, after lunch, things got interesting. i was gonna go cover the front cuz robin was leaving at 1:00. and alex went to eat. but nancy had to leave. why? he stupid boyfriend is in jail and she had to go bail him out. seriously. she needs someone else. she was like, never date a bad boy, okay? and she made me promise not to tell larry cuz he'd so be all over her for that. he's stated his opinion many times...we all share the same opinion, of course, but he can be relentless. and annoying. so steph came in an hour early to cover the front so i could watch the floor so nancy could leave. and susanne asked me and alex to stay till maybe 5, depending on when nancy got back. so we did some stuff around the store but it was pretty empty, so you couldn't even tell we were at bare minimum coverage. but nancy got back about 4ish, so alex and i left at 4:30, which was great cuz randy was just walking in and i was like, yeah, now is a good time to leave lol.

so i quickly stopped in at the tattered cover to get the new fb book! yay! but it's the last one! sad! haha, i'm so conflicted. so i'm gonna get some food and read that now. then tomorrow is my last day of work for about 2 weeks! that's a very nice thought. okay, book is calling me...

happy birthday, america

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 04:36:38 GMT

~i swear this is the coldest 4th of july ever! it's like...57 says my computer lol. it was warmer earlier, but when it rained it cooled off. luckily, it rained about 5, so it was long over by 9ish, but it stayed cold. i mean, i had long sleeves! my toenails have that purple tinge cuz i don't have socks on lol.

it was so nice to sleep in today. i was so tired. i still woke up at like 10 to 7 lol, but i made myself go back to sleep, so i got up after 11. i watched some twilight zone and i might go back to doing that. or eddie izzard lol. i said something about dress to kill so i might put that on. i kinda feel icky at the moment...not sure why. so we'll see. but i'm not really sleepy so i'll prob be up for a while. no work again tomorrow yay!

i killed 2 spiders today (well, my dad killed one before we went to see fireworks, but still) so i think i'm gonna go repsray the hell outta my place. oh, and i texted john cuz i'm stupid, so i might also go throw up now. not really, but we'll see.

happy 4th, everyone!

no more work for over 48 hours!

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 04:18:14 GMT

~yesterday i got to refold the rug room. it always frightens me when larry gets all happy when he says he has a project...shoulda known. i hate rugs. all day, breathing in the fuzz. i also did a pack and hold, so that got me out of the rug room for a bit. however, susanne was back yesterday too. didn't really see her cuz i think first thing larry took her and went over sched stuff...which was sorely needed. one bad thing is that while i was helping a customer, i kinda ended up noticing we're missing a vacuum. so that set stuff off for today.

rilla and randy were both in this morning, and they were going thru stuff to figure out what happened. for whatever reason they were looking at a return michelle did that i approved. this was over a month ago, so i can't remember anything, and neither can michelle. why they looked at that one, i'm not sure. but then michelle hadn't logged it, and bill and michelle hadn't really been counting vacuums, so they're gonna get in trouble for that. but it was a tense morning. i was up front all day, so at least time passed pretty quickly today. i was so happy to go home lol. and now i'm really tired, so i think it'll be bedtime soon.

ya know what really annoys me? there's this new show that's basically an overweight bacherlor/bacherlorette thing. and all the commercials are saying how these are real women and how they're gonna find true love. it just pisses me off that only fat people get to be "real" and cuz i'm tiny, i'm not a real woman. it's so stupid. so, basically, i'm insignificant and not deserving of anything. oy. and with everything i've been thinking about lately, i just don't need that crap.

*sigh* anyway, maybe i'll read a little...but i'm not sure i could focus. so i'll prob end up watching some more roseanne and then going to sleep. and i don't have to be anywhere at 7am yay! there's my happy thought to end the day on.

is it next week yet?

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 21:59:05 GMT

~GRAH!!!!

i swear this week is making up for all the awesomeness of last week. it's been nothing but crap all week! and cuz i got stuck working m-f, i have no break in the middle to find sanity.

so monday was nuts cuz for a while, there were only 2 people in the building. michelle called out, and the morning cashier was off at 1, which is when ed left, too. alex was gonna stay on the floor, but he had to go to lunch so it was me and nancy. and it got busy...of course. i tried putting off asking nancy to ring as long as i could, but when there's like 6 people in line, there's no choice. when alex got back it got busy again, but at least there were 2 of us ringing and nancy on the floor helping people and taking calls. looooong day.

tuesday had better coverage, which was nice. but the sched that was posted was jacked up, so it was taken down again. i'm only working 2 days next week, and she wrote me in 7-5. uh, since when do i work 10 hour days? and training doesn't mean i have to stay longer! cuz she wrote down train 1-5. whatever. wanna pay me for like 44 hours? fine. and i had the orientation scheduled for wed morning, so i was gonna do price changes thurs...until larry kicked them all off. i was like, uh...why? he mixed up my vacation and thought i was gone this week. at least he knew he messed that one up. so i spent all day making all the new signs and getting ready for wed morning cuz i was gonna have only an hour to get stuff done. then i got a call saying steph needed to redo her i-9 form cuz it was old and someone shoulda changed them out...hmm, who could that be, ops manager? but the new form expired 6-30-09. so...now i gotta wait for a new one? need to talk to steve again about that one.

so...today...craptacular. i get to work, do paperwork. bill was doing my markdowns while i was resigning all the gwp/rebate stuff. and at five after eight...no new hire. nancy called and left a message, but she never showed up. so no orientation. thank god my sched was rearranged for nothing. and they can't call in anyone else cuz there's no time now before i go. shoulda just waited in the first place. so i finished price changes, and then kinda hung out cuz i had nothing planned and went to help nancy. then i was wrapping something, and the woman was telling donna it wasn't good enough and wanted it redone. annoying. and bill was yelling at me cuz i said i wouldn't do it over again cuz i was busy. i wasn't even talking to bill and he just starting yelling at me. what an asshole, i'm so sick of him being such a jerk lately. luckily, he'll be gone the rest of the week cuz i don't feel like putting up with him. and my contacts were driving my nuts all day, and folding towels didn't help. ugh.

yeah, so...i think i'm gonna watch more harry potter tonight lol. it was 3 last night, which so made me wanna reread it lol. but i wanna watch all the movies before i go and see 6, so i'll stick with that. okay, i'm tired from all that junk. off to the couch.

you and you alone

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 01:23:44 GMT

~i wanted to share some of my pix cuz i was really happy with some of them...most of them, really lol, but these are my faves. there's a lot. i had some site issues, so these 2 are my fave-faves, just cuz i want them to show up on my page when i look at it lol.

some of ryan:

the cookie!

joey and his purple halo of hair:

andy was tough to get cuz he was across the stage

finally a light on kyle lol...not a bad shot of dave, either lol

hot guitar sex!

my fave neal picture:

and kari and me with ryan star after the show!

hope you had a good time while you were here

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 23:25:08 GMT

~omgomgomg! i shared oxygen with david cook! haha...yeah, it was so beyond awesome! i was almost annoyed cuz stuipd colfax was closed right where we needed to be, but we got there like right when it was starting lol. good timing us!

ryan star is just pure energy. sadly, the crowd was in mellow form, probably cuz they were younger. there were also alot of parents lol. anyway...i thought he was great! he played a few songs, including "breathe," "last train home," and "back of your car." i think i kinda got kari interesting in him too lol. she was like, yeah, he's sexy lol. because we got there right when it started we stood on one of the levels near the front and off to the right. it would have been kinda hard and annoying to try to get on the floor then, plus they have waitresses there and there was a path that had to be clear. odd...i'd hate to do that lol. you'd occasionally just see a tray of beer float over everyone's heads lol. but yeah, ryan was cool and told everyone to go buy his shit and they'd hang out and sign it all. (they did...more on that later.)

between sets they were playing all michael jackson music. that was cool. and off to stage right we got a small glimpse of neil and then dave...and then they closed the curtain lol. but it was fun to see them hovering, totally in their own little world.

then they came on stage....they had a cool intro going on before they began, apparently it was music from the godfather...i was too busy screaming to notice lol. very 'oooo the lights are off but we're here' lol. they played what, 12 songs i think? in semi-but-not-really-order:
heroes
breathe tonight
souvenir
kiss on the neck (with a little hotel california)
we're only honest when we're sleeping
mr sensitive
man in the box
bar-ba-sol
declaration
come back to me
light on
a daily anthem
i was just soooooooo beyond thrilled that i got to hear "souvenir" live! that's my fave, and i love bar-ba-sol too, but i knew i'd get to hear that one. really, the set was nearly perfect. i might have thrown "lie" in there instead of "heroes" but it was actually a good opener, so i'm cool with that lol. we didn't get a mwk song, and i was hoping for "hunger strike," but we did get "man in the box" which kari was thrilled about cuz she's an alice in chains fan lol. i think that made it totally worth it to her, so i was happy about that one. i wanted her to have fun too, not just laugh at me, even though i didn't scream anything stupid! go me! there was one annoying girl who kept screaming that she loved david, and it got a little old. but whatever lol. what i do love, however, is how you can be so sure that they can see you on stage. i mean, there are all the lights shining at them and the rest of the place is dark, so they can't see much of anything. but still, i swear there was david eye contact! like, 5 times! from where i was on the floor, there was this nice little gap and i could see him perfectly, and i swear he looked at me lol. it went something like this:
dc: hello
me: hi perfect man
dc: we should run away together, but i'm kinda busy at the moment
me: i totally agree, but i understand
dc: i have to do this tewer thing, but one day i'll return for you. until then, i'll just have to miss you everyday.
me: cool, i'll be here
(warning: this may have only been in my head and breaking such a delusion could cause the interloper bodily harm.)

so, let's see...what were the highlights? he didn't do "billie jean" cuz they hadn't really practiced it and he didn't want a half-assed tribute, but we did turn out the lights and have a moment of silence. it was the lighting guy's bday. joey's hair was purple and cook said he was gonna call him grimmace as long as he could. trying to get people up, dave told everyone to stand up, look at their seat and say "seat, fuck you!" while giving it the finger. there was some hot hot hot guitar sex during bar-ba-sol (pix to come in the next post). there was a little kid up front somehow, and dave asked if he was having fun. he said that now that they were buds, maybe they could hang out and go swimming. the kid vehemently said NO! haha. their encore was "light on" and "adam" and at the end, he had the crowd do one more set of woahs. it was really cool, and he was kinda more on my side of the floor, and there were tears in his eyes, no joke. i actually like, had to pause and give him a mental hug.

so, after the show, we went out front and ryan and the band were hanging out. the band was selling cds and signing stuff. then ryan was kinda off to the left, signing stuff and taking pix and talking to everyone there. so kari and i got everyone to sign our cd and we got our picture taken with ryan. it was kinda funny cuz i was like, his hand in all in my hair...and i'm totally okay with that lol. also, his sweatshirt was really soft lol. that is what i think about around rock stars i guess lol. so we hung around to see if anyone else would come out, but no. we did see the bouh run and get into the van lol, but that was it. however, kari and i hung out and talked with the guitarist and the keyboardist from ryan band. the guitarist was putting up with one girl constantly asking him what his last name was, and he said he wouldn't tell her unless she bought a cd lol. and the keyboardist chick was really cool, telling us about how they're gonna go play with collective soul later on. then the band was gonna go out, and kari and i left to meet friends.

so...yes, all in all, a fantastic show. i wanna go again! and again! haha, maybe one day. well, i think i need a picture post now, yes? ♥

hell yeah

DAVID COOK TONIGHT, BABY! ♥♥♥♥

one of those days

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 01:26:48 GMT

~wow. first, ed, then it was farrah. now michael jackson has died. i just can't believe it. i mean...mj! omg! every time i go to check my email i get more depressed.

and i was in a bad mood all day anyway. no one reason. i was just kinda blah and it kept getting worse. it should have been an awesome day cuz we got free lunch from noodles and co! no idea why, but they came by and told us all they'd buy our store lunch. mmmmmm. then some lady came by from mary kay and i got a lip gloss sample. more free stuff? awesome!

except that was the only good stuff. i was getting annoyed during price changes cuz people can't sign stuff right and i had to fix it. and i was tired and stuff, just wanted to leave work. and they finally posted next week's sched. i'm not working the 4th. i have sat and sunday off. i was like, uhhh, why? that's stupid. especially on a holiday weekend there should be a supervisor working! and with a ton of people off, why would i not work? it seems like a weird thing to be upset about, but i don't wanna work every morning m-f. if that is how it's gonna be, i'm done. and i say it alot, but i mean it this time.

also, right after i left work, it started to rain. so i got soaked. like, my hair is still kinda wet lol. and i was gonna check my mail to get my bills so i could do that before tomorrow, but i wasn't going outta my way to check the mail boxes. bah. just more stuff to annoy me. so i dried off and got my pjs on when kari called. she said maybe we could go out for a bit, but i was like, uh, i'd have to get redressed lol. so she may stop by later. either way, i'll get to see her tomorrow lol. but it would be nice to have some kinda plan beforehand. just in general, but we'll have time. i'm gonna try to leave work early tomorrow.

and it's still raining. which is fitting with all the death announcements. so i'm gonna go back to watching bones and wait to see if kari and nick'll stop by while playing mj songs in my head.

feels like i could run away from this empty heart

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 03:39:52 GMT

~so, crazy hot (well, 90ish, but whatever) to crazy storms. no hail this way, but it rained a ton when i got home from work, lightning and all. dropped 20-30 degrees, too lol. maybe i'll got some sleep.

i'm so...restless or something. i kept getting up while i was watching tv. for no real reason. i'll check my email for no reason after checking it 10 mins ago. got some cookies, ate a few, put them back. i don't know. i should be tired! i was gonna read and go to bed early, but i can't focus lol. i think i'll finish the gg dvd i was on, and then attempt sleep. i just feel...jerky, but inwardly. my brain is crazy.

i soooo got up late. after getting up early. i prop fell asleep midnightish, but i woke up at 3. blah. so i was awake till my alarm went off. problem is, i fell asleep after that. for maybe 30 mins or so cuz when i shot outta bed it was like 6:38. ugh. i hate that. felt like crap, but i was busy enough this morning to keep me going. bill and i moved summer drinkware, and before that i had alex pull down the pool junk cuz he came in at 7 instead of 8. so before trucks, i stickered (and dusted, eww lol) everything to put on the floor.

alex also asked me for my number, and i have mixed feelings about that. i mean, we were just talking cuz we've just been getting to know each other and i like him and all, and he said something totally nothing, like we should hang out or whatever. and i'm fine with that. but with michelle being all crazy and trying to convince me to date alex, i'm just paranoid. i don't want to date alex lol. and i don't think that michelle would tell him anything, but i got a little paranoid anyway. i mean, something with another receiving guy? i so don't need that! and don't want it, in this case. (and then it all makes me think of john more that i already do, which is double-bad for me lol. especially with the whole crazy-brain thing going on, my thoughts don't need to stray there more than they are...thank god for friday cuz i'm keeping this week nothing but fun-centric.) *sigh* but it's no biggie, and it'll be cool. i overthink, i know that. but being off tomorrow will be like a buffer, and i'm kinda glad for it.

and tomorrow i can call kari! hopefully they got here before the crazy rain lol. but if i can get ahold of her, we can make some sorta plan for friday! 2 DAYS, BABY! (well, okay...2.5, but by this time friday we'd be there lol, so today stopped counting lol) it'll be crazy!!!

oh, so i guess carly smithson is gonna be in a band with the ex-evanescencers? i'm intrigued. i think it'll sound good, but i'm afraid it'll be nothing but comparisons. i have no problem with them creating something similar, but it could kill them. we'll see...either way, i'm happy for carly!

(i officially think 'crazy' is the word of the day. surprised? don't be lol)

yay for taking out the trash! haha...is a dork

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:07:44 GMT

~so...i had these little things to say, but didn't feel like getting online at my parents', so now i can't remember lol.

we had a good, calm father's day. my dad washed the cars and opened presents lol. we went out to dinner and i had yummy garlic pasta mmmm. but i want pasta again tonight now lol, go figure. but we just kinda hung out and watched tv. nice weather, though, to begin summer.

and man, we hit summer, and summer hits us. it's supposed to be in the 90s all week here. we haven't had those temps lately with all the rain and storms, which is weird for us. but yeah, this week might suck, especially if the store stays as warm as it has been. blah.

and susanne is going on vacation again yay! she'll be gone! i think everyone's excited lol. that's sad. today she was saying she wanted to mark down all this pool junk we've had in the back for years to get rid of it. ok, that's fine, but alex was busy all day and he didn't even get to get any of it down by the time i went home. if he had time later he said he would, but she never gave me a markdown sheet, so i have no idea if she even entered all that stuff. so i have no idea what to expect tomorrow. oh well, it's already all marked down i think, so i'm just not gonna care. oh, and i was so sad today lol. i was ironing white drapes in the back, and i was mad cuz the edges were getting dirty when they hit the floor. so i had some of the bubblewrap around the board on the floor lol. i was like, yay! clean! but i had to pour some more water in the iron, and i dripped some and my hand got wet, and when i moved the drape, i left a dirty handprint. ugh. it wasn't too bad, but i was mad lol. (that rhymed...haha)

new dc and the bouh music! i'm sooooo excited for friday! 4 days, baby! yay!!!!!!!

take this sinking boat

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 00:01:49 GMT

~i'm gonna be paranoid for a week after killing a spider yesterday night. grooooooooos. like, it was huge, quarter sized but longer. yeah. squishy. it took much squishing. i don't even know why i'm talking about it, it was that icky.

yesterday i talked to the bank about getting new checks, so they're taking care of that for me. and today i finally cleaned up the kitchen and my counters! yay for me lol. i still have to put away clothes, but my laundry just finished, so i think i'll wait till later for that. if i go by my parents' this weekend, i'll prob just throw those clothes in my sox bag and then put away the rest. cuz i'm lazy like that.

other than that, i did little today. and i'm gonna get back to it now lol. it's gotten warmer again this week, but they were working on something above me (at one point carpet was thrown over the side onto the grass outside my door) and i didn't want noise. and i was all inbetween turning a fan on or off. i hate that inbetweeness. too cool for a/c but too warm to be closed up. blah. but ice cream will make it all happy lol.

did i mention david cook is next week? 9 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!! i think i know what i'm gonna wear and what lip gloss i'll use and everything lol. nine days! if i could dot my i's with a heart i would lol. cuz i'm a dork like that. NINE DAYS!! ♥

ninjas and rockets and bullets! oh my!

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 23:13:27 GMT

~so i totally wasted all say watching mythbusters lol. well, i also wrapped my dad's gifts, so that was productive. but that was it lol.

but that's fine cuz yesterday pretty much sucked. i woke up really early and was pretty much kept awake cuz of the idiot above me. i don't know who lives there exactly, but i'm pretty sure it's this one guy who wouldn't have a face if i had a shotgun. his alarm was going off, and i could hear it, especially with windows open. so it would beep forever, then turn off. then it's go off again. and again. and again. for over an hour! beeeep beeep beeep. and not just a few beeps and it went off. but it went on and on and on. i was like either get up or turn the fucking thing off! and then there was the banging on the door. it might as well have been my bedroom door for as loud as it was. that went on for a bit, then there was the banging. (haha, sounds dirty i know, i hear lorelai in my head.) i have no clue what they were doing, but it was loud. bam! smack! bam! slam! bang! shut the fuck up! so i was up and watching tv at 10 am, which is not what i wanted cuz i hadn't slept well before. when my mom and i went shopping friday afternoon i almost fell asleep lol. and i had to be at work a little earlier, so i was gonna sleep as much as i could and then just get dressed and go. so i wasn't happy pretty much all day.

at least work was almost okay. i had a ton to do cuz no one dealt with the 3 carts of candy, so i had to do that and cover soft side and put up with lisa bitching at me for no reason. but i did get everything done. but i was tired and ready to go home asap. and we have our new guy starting monday...bill was saying he was a good guy and all us girls have to leave him alone lol. i'm like, wtf? i told bill michelle's already pointed out to me that he's cute and my age lol. weird people i work with.

i wonder if they'll repeat or keep showing different eps? cuz i will sit here all night lol. i think i'm gonna eat something, i'm feeling mac n cheesey, and watch more mythbusters lol. eventually i'll have to shower and go to bed. i was gonna read a little, but now...hmm lol. we'll see what jamie and adam are up to first.

it's raining for the 6th day in a row

Sat, 13 Jun 2009 01:01:14 GMT

~it's very weird that normal spring weather is so odd lol. it's raining again, though no hail today, so that's prob good.

so, has anyone ever gotten a bruise and you don't know how? ever had one is a really weird place and you still don't know how? yeah...i have a bruise on the palm of my right hand. like, a vertical line from the base of my palm up to the center. i noticed it yesterday in the shower, but i didn't do anything at work that i could think of. and when i got home i watched tv and checked email. wtf? it didn't hurt yesterday either. the only reason my hand is sore today is cuz i'm right handed. so while going up and down ladders and pushing carts around when i was filling towels and candy, i was using my hand. it looks so weird. you think to do that i'd have to notice getting hurt, but i guess not. i'm just retarded.

mom and i went to kohl's and got my dad some shirts for father's day. yay for sales lol. i found 2 tshirts for myself, too lol. on sale. so they were like $15 for both on sale, then my mom got an extra 30%. yayness lol.

i was talking to shelly at work about going to see dc, and she was telling me to take lots of pix cuz she wants to see them lol. i was like, yeah, so i can show off my new fiance lol, and she told me i should just quit and run off with the band. i was like, that's my plan lol! she was funny, she was like, hey you never know what could happen lol. fingers crossed right? hahaha.

oooh, thunder and lightning now. i'm gonna turn on some tunes and read the rest of the night. and enjoy my brownie batter blizzard! hell yeah buy one get one! haha.

edit: and there's the hail.

~my internet has been wonky today. hmm. but so have i. i had such a headache and i just watched gg all day on the couch. i had some toast. and now i'm starving lol.

well, that's not all. i had to make sure i could wish my lovely fiancee a happy birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!) but i kept getting kicked offline. also, i was gonna get my plane tix, so i had to wait till i knew i could stay online lol. my computer updated itself at one point, and after it restarted things were fine. so i think it was just mad at me lol.

so i finally can say cali or bust! haha, i have a vegas stop between here and there, but that's not too bad. i was looking at a few flights, and some had baggage fees and some didn't. otherwise, things were similar, but yay to southwest for not charging for bags. cuz if i'm gonna go for a week, i'll need to check my bag.

also, my mom called. I GOT MY DAVID COOK TIX! YAY!! haha, so at least there was some good stuff today. but as i said, i think i need to eat, so i'm gonna go do that. then i can relax and hopefully not have my headache come back. maybe it'll rain some more, like earlier. that was nice. the hail was loud lol, but tiny, so that's ok i guess. ok, food time!

this is why people drink

~OMG! when nancy and i were talking this morning about how it sucks to not look forward to dealing with work everyday, i was thinking about how every morning i hope to get hit by a car so i don't have to go to work. and it never happens. and that always makes me sad.

so, randy was in the store this morning, so that was annoying. just cuz he's always annoying. and i was doing my price changes and bill was like, i knew you'd be pissed off when you saw those. which i had seen yesterday, but i hoped i was wrong. all the aprons i clearanced last week are now back to regular price. someone didn't issue an rtv, and cuz the new aprons look similar to the old ones, they thought it'd be too confusing. so i had to peel off all the stickers. waste of my fucking time. goodie. then susanne came in and she was getting on everyone's nerves today, mainly cuz rilla was there. yeah, rilla's closing with susanne so she can check on stuff. and we're not allowed to do freight till like 8. so they'll be there till 11 i'm sure cuz they have to finish all that and also zone and close. crappy. and then when it gets busy no one wants to help cuz it was all managers and they're all too busy. then i had to try to do the closing cashier's job cuz they're not refilling the toilet paper in the bathrooms. how damn hard is it to say, "hey, can someone get a box down from the back so we have toilet paper?"! and someone took all the lids of one size of bridal boxes and left only bottoms, so how am i supposed to fill that? and i know if i asked larry'd go on about how it doesn't matter, even though it does cuz would they really differentiate for no reason? come on.

and to go along with all the work annoyances cuz it was just that kinda day, i was just in a bad mood anyway. mainly cuz i'm mad at myself. i mean, i talked to john recently cuz of the whole tornado thing, but it pisses me off when everyone's telling me stuff he's said. cuz bill was asking me today if i heard about john's car being upside down. which i had already heard about. but not from john. and i just get mad at myself for ever expecting anything from him when he tells anyone else more than he tells me and then i get upset. it's just stupid and it sucks.

BUT!...i heard "come back to me" on the music today at work, so that was exciting! first time! so now there's the possibility of hearing 3 david cook songs at work! and yeah, maybe magic rainbows, cbtm, and lo aren't my top faves, but they make me think of how i should be getting my tix soon and then i'll be sharing the same direct air as dave! (17 days!!!)

and now cuz everyone's doing it:

~there were tornados in aurora this afternoon. i had been watching gg, but when one disc ended, i flipped on the tv cuz high fidelity had just come on. but it was interrupted with weather alerts and news announcements.

but then they were out at southlands mall, and it looked bad. they were showing the hail and the debris and saying how they were evacuating the area cuz the destruction led to a gas leak at the mall. so i texted john cuz he usually works on sundays and his store is in that area. he's fine, but he said the store and his car aren't. no one in the whole area seemed to get hurt, not that i've heard so far anyway, so that's good. but i was a little worried at first. then i went back to the dvds cuz i couldn't follow the movie anymore, and the news stuff was getting repetitive. but i was glad that john was okay. sad about his car, though, cuz he hadn't had it for that long.

so i think i'm gonna shower and then go back for more gg. mmmm...logan. plus my attention span has all but gone away, so there's no way i can read like i had planned. so i think i'll just curl up with some ice cream lol. sounds good.

you jump, i jump, jack

~i'm strangely in a very good mood. not sure why lol. nancy even commented on it lol, calling me bubbly. this is odd.

maybe it's cuz i've gotten into the logan eps on gg lol. he is my fave. and i was watching one of my fave eps when i left...i have to finish it before bed lol. and it has a commentary, so i'll have to check that out. haven't seen one with a commentary yet.

but yeah, work was boring but kinda fun lol. and quick; man time flew! but i was joking with penny and i had stephanie with me up front so it was good. and with nancy we were out quick. whatever. and larry was in red and khaki so i said he worked at target lol. he told me to shut up lol.

and my tape just stopped yay! tv time lol. more harper's island and then new pushing daisies yay! then the rest of gg. i'm kinda hungry...i should eat the rest of the pasta. oh, i have to remember to wrap my dad's present! i'll do that tomorrow.

i think i inhaled a cottonwood tree

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 23:03:18 GMT

~and i think a bug got in my eye. bad trip home lol.

so today was like project day at work. the time passed quickly, which was nice. i didn't have to much to do, so i just helped with whatever. and now i am at home, thinking that i'll start my harry potter movies! with the next one out soon, i wanna rewatch all the movies just cuz lol. i finished season 4 of gg, so i was thinking about just starting season 5, but it the whole rory-dean affair thing, and that pissed me off. so i'll prob go with hp...after mythbusters lol.

wow...i'm boring. haha...i don't have anything else to say at the moment, so i'm kinda talking to myself. i usually have some stupid quiz or something to fill space and time. maybe i should go find one. i just wanted to listen to my new tour downloads lol. hmm, let's see...nope, i got nothing. so that's all for now.

(3 weeks till david cook!)

edit: maybe i will watch gg after all. there's fighting, and i'm still in little bit of a bitter mood. that might be good. and the omgcute luke and lorelai stuff will keep that bitterness in check cuz, come on, they're so cute! yeah...i think i'll do that. and eat ice cream lol.

comfort food

~ugh. i got like 20 mins of sleep last night. i hate that so much. it makes me run so late cuz i'm so outta it when i get up. but i can't just get up at quarter to 5 cuz i'd prob fall asleep on the couch and miss work completely. sucky.

then bill was being an asshole today. i had to reprice all these roasting racks, and he said they were in top stock and i asked him to get them for me, and he said no. i'm like wtf? i can't get them down myself. he was like just do it on the ladder; i'm not helping you. jerk. besides the fact the i hate ladders, i had dust falling in my face as well as the pins from the racks that kept falling. i was able to keep from getting hit in the face, but i did get hit in the arm and the back when they fell on me. and it took me forever to do all 40-some racks. so i didn't talk to him the rest of the day. all i wanted to do was go home. i just had a very bitter day.

and now i am home yay. dinner will be mashed potatoes and mac n cheese and then lots of chocolate. that'll be nice.

less spazing this time, i swear

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 23:08:13 GMT

~i got a new camera! i planned to before cali, but i think dc deserves to be shot with something new and shiney lol. it's another olympus, so i'm pretty used to it already, and it takes my old memory cards, so bonus there. i played with it all last night, and i'm happy with it. the computer program part is even pretty cool.

so today i cleaned up a little, tried to read my book, but was way to distracted to read for more than an hour or so. (david cook in 23 days!) so i did laundry and actually put it away! then it was time for some ice cream cuz i really wanted some lol. so i watched gg and that's what i'm gonna get back to now, and make some dinner. then mythbusters yay! so i relaxing good day all-around.

oh, i also watched men vs wild. i hafta say bear + will = entertainment! i think will ferrell was proud of himself, and he should be. it was a good ep.

i thought i was gonna say something else. things have been pretty good lately. it's been rainy, pushing daisies is back, i got dc tix and a new camera, susanne's off all week, bbw is having their 75% sale and i got stuff...yeah, not to shabby of a week. i guess i'm just not used to it lol. okay, that's it. i'm gonna eat and relax and sleep...just hope i don't dream about missing dc's encore like i did the other night. yeah, sad lol. also, people had left up their xmas lights still, so it was one big dream about timing i guess haha.
