Fun 3 Day Weekend : )

So despite the fact that so far I haven`t gotten called in, today was good! Woke up at 9 to the belltower dinging and then again to a phone call and finally got up at 10:15. Ate some cereal and showered and then dressed. Left for the library later than I`d planned to and only got to use a 15 minute computer which was ok .... got home and had some beef tips in gravy with potatoes .... watched some of Numb3rs and soon it was time for me to get picked up for the family gathering ....


Was picked up and went to the coffee house back door and since my sister now has her license she drove. Then headed to Fatzos for a sub to share and went to Grandpa and Grandma`s. I was trying to get eBay to work on my phone and it wasn`t working so well ....


After getting there we waited for the rest of the party to show up and everyone came within a half hour and then the feasting began .... stories were shared and a few started to play the computer version of CashFlow until someone decided it was time for the White Elephant exchange. Dad ended up with a guitar book, mom and my sister got lotion and lip balm stuff and I got Vanilla shower gel and a bottle of red dessert liquor : ) Then we all sat a while conversing til a game of DCopoly was suggested. I helped clean up a little and hung around til I was pulled into a game of pool with my dad and I got lucky and won. Then I played against an uncle and lost. Eventually it got to be 9 and mom got tired (and I have a bit of a headache) so we packed up ....


and now I`m home. Chillin .... who knows what the rest of the night will bring .... last night it was a girlfriend and me with a few of her kids a while .... Anyways, more later!! Take care!!

Need You Now ....

So my life wouldn`t be complete without music : ) - I`ve been at a friend`s house listening to her music since like 8 LOL .... didn`t do too much today .... got my car oil changed and spent the AM with my mom : ) Went to Culvers for lunch and I FINALLY had the chicken tenders kids meal .... and eventually her girlfriend showed up and we sat a while .... then went to the shop (had a morning since when I got there I tried to take the new manual Jeep and then the Hondi and neither turned over .... probably because it got to be under zero degrees last night .... ) and paid my bill and went to the library a while .... then it was to home I went to purge some magazines and had a chicken, veggies, noodles and tuna dinner while watching Duplicity and soon left for my girlfriend`s house where I currently am ....


Anyways .... more later : ) Close to bedtime .... take care!

Not So Fun ....

That I was only scheduled 3 days this next week and 5 hour shifts total so who knows how long I`ll really be working this week which doesn`t help!


Got up at 8:15 and dressed .... was at my mom`s at 9 so I could get my mail and tennis shoes .... and then worked 11:30 to 4:45 .... from there went home and then went to the library a while til 7 when I went home again and had some dinner and went to a friends by 8 and just got home ....


After a while of watching tv and bs`ing, I left and went to the grocery store .... got some stuff I needed and came here. My microwave and the backpack are still in the car. Got two new pairs of work pants today .... and work was something else!! ....


Managed to dump frozen fries into the fry hop .... spilled my own hot chocolate .... had fun bs`ing at work but was glad when it was over .... just hope I get more hours this week! .... didn`t see anyone all that interesting either ....


OH while at my gf`s house I taught her how to use BlueTooth and maybe I can use more of it tomorrow - got to get the rest of my tax papers and maybe an answer from my lawyer then .... storing my microwave there too .... all while my oil in my car is getting changed ....


Anyways, more later : ) ....

It`s Almost Time ....

For Grey`s Anatomy and Private Practice! Today didn`t do all that much .... woke up to Pink`s So What by my grandparents .... tax stuff .... and got ready for the day .... worked and then went to the library for a while and then went and did some shopping .... got some easier to prepare food for when I`m at work .... and then went to a friend`s house to chill .... got some songs added to my YouTube playlists LOL it actually messed up my status updating ability on Twitter ....


Anyways .... not much else .... more next time! : )

Busy Busy Busy ....

Well today was quite a busy day .... got up and going and dress and tried to get to work before the lunch rush which didn`t happen so I went to the library and made some calls instead .... got online and eventually got to work ....


Paid my AVON stuff and tomorrow I get my bracelets : ) Soon after I paid I ate lunch and left for the Dollar Store .... got what I needed and came home .... had some snacks before work and eventually left for work ....


Which was a little busy. But it was our Tuesday $2.99 nugget deal .... and after 7 I went and cleaned the lobby .... left at 8:30. Joined some friends at a nearby pub. Sat and bs`d til 11 when we saw a cop car outside and someone walking a line LOL ....


Went to the grocery for milk .... and left with cereal and a snack as well .... and now I`m home enjoying a glass of wine with celery and fruit dip .... so more later .... take care!! ....

Another Monday ....

OK .... NOW I`m getting frustrated!! This is the third time I`ve had to re-type this .... *sigh*


Started today off at a friend`s house watching TV and bs`ing. Was home and in bed by 1 AM .... Got up at 9:30 and dressed and ate while getting errands thought out and watching Desperate Housewives .... eventually I headed out.


Went to see my doctor and everything is great! Not sure but I`m pretty confident that I don`t get seen again for a check up for another 3 months .... guess if they need me they know where to find me .... from there I went to work to pay a coworker for the AVON order I made but she wasn`t there so I`ll try again tomorrow .... then I started going to several businesses looking for work. I`m now waiting on call backs but honestly I`m not expecting much .... nobody seems to be hiring .... at least not til spring ....


Eventually I went to the library. Made some copies of some letters and used the internet a while. Returned Momma Mia and got The Good Wife, Duplicity, and Numbers Season 2. Then it was off to the Post Office to mail the letters and home again for a late lunch since I`d eaten a late breakfast .... watched some of Desperate Housewives as well ; ) .... also got my mail - a letter from a traveling Grandparent and my new Confessions of a Military Wife book by Mollie Gross (courtesy of my having won a $25 Amazon gift card as a prize for winning a survey online from CafeMom : ) So far it`s great!!


By 3:30 I left for work. Worked during the $1.99 Happy Meal Monday deal. That was as exciting as the night was .... it seemed kind of slow .... as I was leaving to go home a friend showed up with his daughter so I sat with them while they ate. Caught up some and within 45 minutes he was leaving to take her to her aunt`s ....


And I headed home for a bit .... then went to a friend`s house returning their chips. Hung out .... got some music bluetoothed to my phone and eventually I left .... went to the grocery store for strawberries .... they were out .... so now I`m home .... about to repaint my fingernails and watch more of Desperate Housewives before bed .... going to pay for my AVON order tomorrow hopefully .... we shall see .... anyways, more later : ) ....

Fourth Sunday ....

So first off, Happy Birthday to thr birthday people!! : ) Another thing, the bathroom stuff I mentioned before .... first there was the gal who was told to "drop drawers" to prove herself in the bathroom (as if the majority really cared!) and about an hour later there was a couple who came out of the stall (guy and girl!) together which weirded us out too .... anyways ....


Got home and to bed by 3 .... got up at 9:15 am and dressed for church .... got there with 5 minutes to spare. It was raining this morning which sucked .... oh well. After getting home I watched some of Desperate Housewives and had lunch of noodles and veggies and chicken .... and soon enough it was time to go to the party.


Right before 2 PM I grabbed the gift and started walking and after a few blocks I was there .... had some fun mingling (sp?) before a trivia game and then had a really fun and exciting White Elephant exchange with the people (those who work with/for the business and their families) which took a bit of time because after about a half hour of people just taking and opening gifts someone started by taking someone else`s gift and the fun started : ) It was great LOL .... after the adults went it was the kids turn and then one of my grandmothers called to see how I was doing and after the phone call the kids` part as over and dinner began. Sat with some old friends and some family and eventually people started to leave and I stayed behind to finish my white wine and talked with some people. Just got home .... not doing all that much now .... LOL .... so more later!

What a Saturday ....

Wow .... didn`t get up until 9:30 and from there dressed and ate while watching Desperate Housewives .... got to my mom`s on time for once and talked a bit before dealing with my phone (deleted some 100 pictures and added a few and tried to transfer some music but that didn`t work too well .... ) and left with enough time to spare to get ready for work ....


Got an extra hour and a half on my shift today .... had a few crazy moments of business which sucked .... finally left and dressed. Went to Wal-Mart and got the rest of the White Elephant gift and came home and wrapped it. Changed and went out. Met a few people and saw some I havent`t seen in a while .... one was dumb enough to think that nobody knew she was in town - ah, HELLO! If you update your FB status telling where you are what do expect?! - so while it was good to see her out I was like w/e .... and now I`m home .... bedtime. Had an interesting bathroom moment .... more on that later LOL ....

Another Pay Day : ) ....

What a day! Got up early to go to my mom`s for some stuff dealing with my phone .... and ended up not getting that far so maybe tomorrow .... went to work and got my check and deposited it and went back to work and didn`t leave until about 6:30 .... got home and showered and went to a friend`s .... tired now .... slow day. More later!

Third Friday .... : )

Well, another pay day is on the way! Spent my day keeping busy .... got up at 8:15 and dressed to wait for a friend`s new tv service to arrive. Did my laundry at her place, it was nice!! The tv company got there and he found out he couldn`t finish his services til spring so he left and I dropped off the other friend who was there.


After that I went to the library a while and then the grocery store. Came home and ate and finished Lady in the Water .... and then went back to the library and returned the DVDs and got home .... then went to a friend`s house and watched Grey`s Anatomy and then Private Practice which were amazing!! And now I`m home .... headed to bed .... so more later : )

Busy Day : ] ....

This day started with me going to bed after watching Fred Claus and starting My Mom`s New Boyfriend .... a rather interesting movie to say the least! I was up and dressed by 10:15 and at work by 11. Not all that much exciting happened except that a water tube connected with the fish managed to find itself a hole which grew bigger and started to spray water everywhere and my gosh! - of all places it was RIGHT above the toaster, printer and hitting one of the computers to name a few not-so-great electronics to fry .... and there were 4 people in backline working who could have been hurt. Thankfully they weren`t : ] Later on as the management started to switch there was a cute fight that ended with a bbq package getting tossed into the fry hop and by the time it was fetched in 10 or 15 minutes it was almost nothing - all that was left was three flat small pieces of the plastic and thin cover thing ....


Soon enough it was time to clock out and I went home and changed and headed to the library .... got some stuff done online and then went to a friend`s house for a bit and hung out. By 10:45 I went to the grocery and picked some stuff and got home. Now here I am watching the rest of the Mother`s Boyfriend movie and eating a brat. So more later : ]

Another Day I`ve Kept My Sanity ....

Well thankfully I`ve managed to keep sane through today haha! Not that it was a bad day .... just by the end of the day something always has been known to have something about my ex-to-be and it`s certainly never a good thing usually .... go figure .... this time it`s about taxes and custody ....


I didn`t get up until 10 AM and dressed .... went to the Post Office and mailed off a birthday card and the boys letters and a letter to a pen pal .... then went to the residence where the photo shoot was being taken and took my place .... got my hair and makeup done and then the shoot began and it was a blast! I dressed up in 4 or 5 different dresses and posed - if you`re interested respond to this post or on my facebook page to see the pictures : )


Around 12:30 or so the shoot was over and I went back to my place and redressed for the library and went there a while. Reserved a computer and while I waited the 45 minutes to use it I read some magazines and picked a few up from the free table .... once online I saw the pictures that were ready and checked eBay for the watches I`m looking at among other things .... around 3:45 I left and went home to change for work and eat. By 4:30 I left for work and was there until 8:30.


Got home and read some messages and responded to a few before showering and now I`m watching Fred Claus because My Mom`s New Boyfriend movie won`t play .... in a few moments I`ll write a bit and then go through my cabinet of magazines and organize them - I keep them for recipies, good stories, information, and art. Finished the bottle of Arbor Mist Exotic Fruits tonight and I`m going to have some snacks .... more next time : ] Take care!!

Day Before the Big Model Session : ) ....

So I think I got several new readers today!! Thanks guys!! : ]


Today was fun! I didn`t get up until about 10 AM since around 2:30 this morning I was woken up by a stairwell fight (at first I thought it was a decent hour like 6 AM and someone was going to work) .... doors being slammed .... profanities were exchanged and I almost called the cops but they stopped fast enough for me to feel I didn`t need to .... thankfully I fell asleep soon after and got up at 10 to dress and I wanted to go to the library before my lunchdate but never made it that far ....


Got to the lunchdate on time and had a fish sandwich with a parfait and sprite/orange mix. Got my fish sandwich plain and left about an hour and a half later with a carseat : ] Headed to my mom`s so she can keep the seat for me. From there went to the library and got some stuff done online and then went to the grocry store for my part of my dinner date (garlic bread and dessert) and got pie crust and came to her place.


Got here and realized that the apples I had brought with me were mainly rotten. Helped her with dinner and then cleaned up and chilled a while before heading to the grocery for milk and more apples and got another bottle of white zinfandel by Marcus James - I added cranberry juice and it`s alright : ]


Made the apple pie and now it`s cool enough to enjoy so I`m going to dig in : ] More later : ] Take care!!

Third Sunday ....

What a day it`s been! After I got home at 2:30 I went to bed and got up at 9:15 to dress and go to church. Dad wasn`t there so it was just us three girls. They took him to the 5 PM service tonight though I think. After church we went to Culver`s and had lunch. My sister and I got kids meals and mom got a "basket" .... my sister got the chicken tenders and honestly while I was eating my only ketchup cheeseburger I almost regretted not getting the same thing as she did .... mom got only lettuce on her burger. I kept my ice cream coupon since I didn`t feel like using it then. Had some interesting conversation while eating and while my sister drove us to my place.


Once up to my place I did my Sunday ritual of writing to the kids and then tried to sleep with no luck. Ended up watching one of the four DVD disks of Numb3rs (I`m now on the last episode and then will watch one of my movies) and had a snack before dressing for work. Even remembered to take dinner so I could eat free at work. Amazingly I managed to clock out closer to my scheduled time today : ]


Headed to work and clocked in .... it was kinda slow. Not much happened besides seeing the misunderstanding/miscommunication of last night with one of my managers .... so that`s good. Clocked out around 8:15 and wrote down my schedule and rescheduled my modeling appointment (more on that later : ] ) and headed home where I am now ....


Showered and dressed into my pjs. Got some info about the photo shoot for Tuesday .... then put in Numb3rs and started writing. And painting my nails LOL .... Anyways not much else going on. More later - no work til Tuesday night at 5 : ) ....

Saturday, January 16, 2010

Third Saturday .... I think ....

Well .... so yesterday I went to GB with mom and got a few errands done and got a few things I needed. Had lunch together and did some shop runs .... after we got back I went to the library and got some research done and then got my car question figured out and then went grocery shopping and came home to clean up some and then chilled .... today I only worked from 5 to almost 8 .... got 2 hours cut off my schedule which pisses me off, not gonna lie. And I`m now headed out to hang out with some friends so more later : )

YAY .... !!

Well, first things first, FINALLY finished getting "rid" of the previous blog that I had. There's still a few entries I've left public but the rest are gone. Good riddance! Some of those posts actually made me rather sad!


Would have posted last night but I got too caught up into cleaning up my place. Got some frames and I framed some art I've been collecting and then put some clothes away - tomorrow I have some laundry to do .... tonight I have to close at work. Last night besides cleaning I was busy watching Numb3rs. Season One. Dinner was odds and ends LOL. Spent the earlier part of the day in GB with mom .... got some stuff I needed .... then gassed up my vehicle .... and otherwise kept out of trouble. Got a letter from a friend and I wrote back already but I can't mail it out til Monday now. Oh well. Went to my friend's mom's funeral earlier today and then came here to the library. Haven't done much else. Got a coming-and-going headache. Trying to think but there's so much going on .... and wishing that a certain someone wouldn't be such a pain!!


But anyways - more next time, maybe tonight if I have any work stories .... Supposed to close but we'll see what happens. : )

Thursday, January 14, 2010

Another Thursday ....

Well .... day 2 of writing in my physical diary is going pretty well : ) Work was rather boring and after about an hour and a half not only did I have a headache but I was also pissed at the young pregnant manager .... not that it matters now .... before work ran some errands and got an application so we shall see how that goes .... saw mom and talked of a few things like my life and some options and also decided that we're going south for a bit tomorrow .... so we will leave by 9 tomorrow .... went to the library as well and used the internet after dropping off some DVDs .... after work went to the grocery and got some breakfast got some yogurt to go with my cereal in the morning as well as some celery and such. And now I'm home just finished watching one of the episodes of season one of Numb3rs .... and now on to Food, Inc. Kinda scary but VERY worth watching!1! Anyways .... more later ....

Well today was a bit eventful! Got up and going around 9:30 and went to see my mom to dicsuss a few things and then was off to the Post Office to mail the letters to the kids. Then got to my girlfriend`s house and hung out a while .... went to the grocery and got some stuff for sandwiches for lunch .... and came back and made lunch. Had sandwiches with vegetables : ] and eventually another girlfriend came over and we hung out catching up and playing SimCity and then Mario before going to Culver`s for ice cream and cheese curds before going to Wal-Mart and printing some pictures (all my frames are filled now and it`s time for more LOL : ] ) before I left to go work what I thought would be a 5 to close .... got home at 10 and showered and now eating turkey and watching Desperate Housewives .... so more later : ] Til next time readers!

Wow what a day it`s been! Worked for some family today from 10 to 5 and then started errands .... did a TON of filing and shredding .... then went to the store and got bobby pins and milk and then went to the library where I hung out a while. Then a girlfriend called me (I guess she`s in town a few days : ] ) and I went to her house and had some dinner and talked .... had tomato soup with cheese and some grilled cheese .... then to the grocery but I couldn`t decide what I wanted so I drove home. Now I`m watching Desperate Housewives .... more later : )

Sunday, January 10, 2010

Another Sunday ....

Well, here we are, two Sundays into the new year .... closed tonight .... at work. Went to church this morning. Have now had two nights in a row of nightmares because of my legal husband. Oh the joys of that - NOT! Anyways .... after church I came home and watched the first 2 disks of Desperate Housewives Season Two and started the third. Had half of my spaghetti and meatball dinner from the Black Forest dinner last night .... wanted to nap but I`m a bit scared to sleep from these nightmares .... unless they`re "signs" in which case I`ll be relieved after the knot in my stomach goes away .... til then I sit here with my small glass of Exotic Fruits Arbor Mist wine and blog .... tomorrow I`m off at my main job so I`ll be working with some family .... and running simple errands .... and hopefully relaxing (at least my stomach!) .... so anyways .... more later .... take care til next time tomorrow : )

.... Another Day ....

Well not much happened today .... went to the library and had lunch while watching some of Charlie Wilson's war and now watching season two of Desperate Housewives .... had a fantastic dinner with my family to celebrate an anniversary and that was at Black Forest and the food is great! Otherwise nothin was going on. Will probably hit the sack here soon.... so more later ...

Saturday, January 9, 2010

whoa!

Well today was pay day .... went to see mom before getting my check and cashing it to get some ideas and thoughts together for the lawyer .... and while I was still at her place about to leave there was an accident at work, a lady drove into the restaurant .... breaking one of the bigger windows and a door to boot! Thankfully nobody was hurt but it sure was scary! Got my check and went to the bank and then to the shop for my bread and then to the library for a bit and then home to eat lunch .... Ended up watching the rest of High School Musical 2 and went to work for three hours .... that wasn't so much fun since as soon as a certain manager got there I was booted from drive thru like I always am and then yelled at for how I made a drink wrong instead of politely corrected in front of the customers .... and THEN she decided it was ok to ask how I was doing!! From there went home and dropped some stuff off and went to the grocery and then home to eat dinner .... watched some of Charlie Wilson's War before heading to a girlfriend's house for sing star and then home and now shower and bed .... so more later ... may post pics of the accident soon, who knows ....

Wow what a day! Got up and going and as I was about to leave for work I got a call from mom as a reminder so I dealt with that and scraped my car (the freezing rain from last night left some "fun" for me this morning .... it honestly sucked! I was planning on getting gas and dropping off two movies to the library first but that didn`t happen .... worked 11 to 7 and once off I went home and changed. As I was changing mom called again and I talked a few minutes and then left to go get gas (my first of two gas cards sure had WAY more gas money than I thought, Santa knows I sure will use it! : ] ) and then to the library to return and pick up DVDs and then to the grocery. Got the smaller bottle of Exotic Fruits Arbor Mist and got a girlfriend`s new number while I was there and then went to another friend`s house and hung out .... took her younger brother on a refresher course of my stickshift car to Wal-Mart and tried to go to Culvers but apparently they close at 8 .... then back to their house for a bit before I headed back to my place .... where I am sitting watching High School Musical 2 .... BUT!! My first (of ever and of this year) was the purchase of my Arbor Mist : ) .... Anyways more later ....
