So it's been a little while since my last post. I have had a crazy month. My birthday was the sixth of February. I finally had a decent birthday for once. No one wrecked my birthday for me, which was quite refreshing. I had a great time hanging out with my friends. I also got to help out one of my closest friends this week, with her wedding. Which is today!! I helped her with the flowers, I did the bouquet, and the corsages, and I also decorated her tennis shoes, ( she has an injury and can't wear dress shoes), and I decorated her cake servers. I have come to the conclusion this past week that I am in the wrong line of work. I went with my friend to Michael's craft store and looked at some bouquets they offered for sale and was fairly surprised to find that they wanted $50.00 for a small wedding bouquet. Well all in all February has been a pretty decent month. The only unpleasant thing was losing the electricity for two days due to a bad wind storm. I thought we were going to freeze to death before they ever got the lines repaired. Without the electric furnace running it got down to 42 degrees in the house.
Well I am off to get my nails and hair done, then off to Susan's wedding.Current Mood:  artistic |

Well I've been busy the last few days. I have been throwing myself into work again. We have another visit this week from corporate. (Oh goody!) So I have been doing what I can to get the store ready. I hope to get the store all ready for the visit today so that tomorrow is smooth sailing. I spent about four and half hours last night helping a friend of mine at another store get ready for the visit. Sometimes I think I'm just too nice. But a least I know that this person really appreciates the help and will give me the credit for it a well. So it was worth the time spent. Nothing like dealing in good karma. I'm sure it will come back to me in time.
Got my tabs this morning for the Toyota. I had to get new plates too. So I picked those up and put them on.
I also think I will spend the next two days cleaning up the house gotta catch up on dishes and fold all the laundry. I swear I have to vacuum this place every couple of days. I have two long haired black cats and they leave tuffs off black hair all over the beige carpet. It's like they are molting or something, it's crazy.
I also think I clean the car inside and out. I have got to get the heater in thing fixed pretty soon it's driving me nuts. There's no defrost and thing is always wet and cold inside.
So I think I'm finally coming out of my depression some what. I actually have a pretty clear head right now. Which strangely enough feels weird. It's bee a long time since I have been able to think with any clarity.
So I am gonna catch a quick nap then go to work I have to close tonight.Current Mood:  tired Current Music: "Destiny" Stevie Nicks |

So I actually got out again over the weekend. My friend Lisa and I went out to karoke together.I had a pretty good time. I forgot what it was like to get noticed by men. I got up and danced a couple of times, which is very out of character for me. I really seem to have a blast with Lisa. So anyway I had fun, except for the slight hangover on Sunday morning.
I also finally have a printer that is up and running, now I just have to get some ink for it.
My evil car is acting up again, the door lock on the driver's side is just about shot and barely works now. So I am seriously thinking it's about time for a new car. Or in my case someone's used car.
Not anything too exciting to report here. Just working as usual.Current Mood:  bitchy |

So today has certainly been strange. I've been bitching that no one is interested in me. And well today I learned what be careful what you wish for truly means. I rejected a date offer tonight and told the person I had to babysit. Don't get me wrong this person is a great friend, but that's where it starts, stops and begins. Just friends nothing more. This is a one of my co-workers from a location I used to work at. It's just that this person makes me look pretty well let's just say sane. And I know I have my share of issues. Then I get a call from another friend, also another co-worker (uh-oh see a pattern here!!??) Well this was someone I was actually interested in, but they are totally hung up on someone else. This male friend of one has not put any closure to their last relationship at all and is still madly in love with the person she USED TO BE. DANGER, DANGER, DANGER, abort mission!!!! Then to top it all off, I have someone else who is totally into me. This person is very interesting seems to be a great guy, but here's the catch. Let's elaborate slightly, married, and has girlfriend. I am not interested in being part of some harem of women. Besides I've been cheated on while married and could not knowingly do that to another woman.
What the hell is wrong with people today! I just want someone that I am interested in to have the mutual feelings back. What the heck has happened to monogamy? I don't want to get married and have the white pickett fence, I am not looking for prince charming, I don't want live in Barbie's dream house. I am not a little a girl, and I don't believe in fairy tales. I just want a man who I can be friends with that cares about me and what happens to me, and wants to be with me for me. So maybe I am being selfish but there it is.Current Music: "How You Remind Me" Nickelback |
| » too much caffeine |
|---|
Ok so now I have gone and done it, I can't sleep. I went out with Lisa to Shari's and had seven cups of coffee. Not the smartest thing I've done all week. I can't go to sleep!!! AACCKKK!
Oh well live and learn. So it's 4:28Am and have to be up in four hours to take my kid to school, and then I have a full day of running. Gotta pay two bills, get car insurance, pay my traffic fine, get my hair cut and get my nails done. Well this will definitely be interesting day. Besides the obviously stupid caffeine overdose, I can't seem to get my mind to stop running 200 miles an hour and that was before caffeine.
The New Year's resolutions I've made are already proving that they are not the easiest to keep. You would think that being a 30 year old adult I would learn to effectively communicate without fear and anxiety of how someone is going to react to what I have to say. Oh well I guess I will just have to keep working on that one. I have a lot of things that I need to work on before I move this summer. I need to get all of my family's junk out of my garage, and get rid of the excess of non running vehicles I have.
So the next few months should prove interesting. I know that my family here will not be incredibly impressed with my decision to move to North Dakota again. But the hell with it, it's my life and I am going to do what I need to do for me! So things going on in my life from now will be on need to know basis. If they need to know they will, if not screw it. I can't go around making other peoples problems my concerns. Family or not I have a right to my choices regardless of how they feel about them.
So I will be doing quite a few things to get myself ready for this move and I will have to learn to do a lot them on my own. So be it time to be a real adult and do what needs to be done.
That's all for now I think I will put in a dvd and try to get a little shut eye.
Till next time.....

Well nothing incredibly exciting to report here. I worked yesterday. I'm off today and tomorrow so I will probably catch up on dishes and laundry. I actually got aother child support check today from my first husband, a whole thirty two dollars. I have no idea how the knuckle head survives on unemployment for four months out of the year. I am so glad I don't live that kind of life. I have no sympathy for people who refuse to help themselves make their own situation better.
It has been raining here for almost a whole month, "welcome to pacific northwet" as I often say. My garage is flooding, and I have a moat in my back yard, I might just invest in an ark.
Tonight Lisa on of my close friends has decided to kidnap me and take to Federal Way with her.
I guess she thinks I need to get out more. I think I just prefer being a hermit crab in the winter. I seem to do this every year when the weather gets cold. I spent almost all time inside sleeping or cuddled up in blanket watching tv. Probably not the best way to keep my weight loss off. I have to try to work on not sleeping my days away. I have lost about 100 pounds and woulkd like to take off about 45 more.
So I am off to pick up my son Brandon from school.

Well it's Wednesday afternoon, Today is my Friday!!! Yeah two days off. Last night my friend Lisa came by and we went out to sing karoke. We didn't go out for too long but it was well worth it. I seem to forget how much I miss being out until I get to go after being cooped for a while. SO anyway I had fun. Can't wait to have two days off in a row again. I am actually on my to work gotta go running late as usual.

Well today has definitely been a long strange trip. I opened at work today, and as usual had a busy Monday. I am beginning to think god is mocking me. Everything mechanical or electrical I have touched in the past three days has just turned to shit. I couldn't keep the furnace running, the blower motor for the heater in my car hasn't worked in months and suddenly kicked on for a fifteen minute car trip. The irony here is I work in car parts store, but won't fix my car, heck it's Washington it's not cold just wet, but now it's finally getting to me. I am going to have either fix the car or think about getting myself a used car in a little better shape. But I figure I'll procastrinate just a little longer on doing this. There are more important things for me to take care of right now. I can't believe I still working in auto parts.
What was I thinking when I took this job? Don't get me wrong it's a living it ALMOST pays the bills.
But as a female in a male dominated industry it truly gets to me some days when male customers assume I'm just a cashier, (I am next in line for store manager.) I also can't stand knowing there men making more money to work half as hard as I do at the same job. (Oh well as they say who said life is fair.) Geeze it's the 21st century not the 1800's. Give me a break just because I don't have penis doesn't mean I don't have a clue about how to do my job. My mother did import auto parts in this town for over 20 years and believe me I know she had it more rough than I do now. But seriously why is that the major malfunction the some people have. I am female, not some circus freak with the IQ of a gnat. On the bright side my friend from work came over and fixed the loose connection that was keeping the furnace from operating properly! So it's now 61 degrees in the house anymore. It's funny how you don't realize how much you appreciate things until you don't have them. This is so true for so many different things.
I said earlier that I wasn't going to make any New Years resolutions. Well I've changed my mind
I have decided that I am going to try do a few things to make my life a little easier.
1. I am going to try to bitch a little less about the little shit in life.
2. I am going to work on talking to people when they do things that bug me rather than just sitting there and taking it and being afriad of hurting their feelings. While in the mean time making myself miserable.
3. I am going to try and find at least two things each day to be grateful for.
So there I actually made myself some New Years resolutions.
Well I should probably get myself ready for bed so I can wake up in the morning and take my son to school.

Well I am awake and that in itself is a feat. I hate Sunday's. I think it's just the dread of going in to work and doing all the weeks end paperwork. The last two days have been fairly uneventful. I did however manage to pick out the next tatoo I will be getting!! Yeah, it's a black cat with wings an Amy Brown fairy cat. I spent my morning of all things listen to Weird Al music, how weird. Well I am off to work to sling car parts to people who should not access to tools, cars, and parts in the same points in time space. Sunday's is usually when I get the kind of people who no business working on their cars. But we will see how the day goes!
