I was going to update about this dream I had and how it made me feel and blah blah blah but now it seems kind of petty so I won't.

Have a welcome home party to go to in a few hrs. have to walk 3 blocks in the rain...unless my dad is home by then and can drop me off. I doubt it, so I need to find something warm to wear.

oh! this is also the first time, since before Christmas, that I've been broke a week before payday...and there's lots going on this weekend. I'm going to feel like such a loser...actually, I already do :(

+/- format

- My Aunt was in the hospital since 9 or 10 this morning. She was complaining about shortness of breath and severe stomach pains. Later diagnosis was gallstones. Since they weren't infected, the ER couldn't admit her. My cousin made an appt with her primary Dr for tomorrow at 1020 am. Hopefully they agree that she's in enough pain to remove the stones/gallbladder.

+ She is home resting as comfortably as possible considering the pain she's in. (- Won't get to see her until she's out of surgery)

+ A childhood friend of mine messaged me about a job. Admissions Rep for Everest College in Gardena. Cool! She was informed about it about 2 hours ago and I guess I was the first person she thought of. yay! The interview is tomorrow at 1 pm. Had to rush to get my resume and career portfolio updated/in order.

+ I get to see him tomorrow night! Still weary about the information I was told about him, but at least I get to see him.

+ School starts January 19th - at least the online classes I'm taking. I'm very anxious/excited about this. I haven't heard from either of the two Reps I've been working with as to when I'll get books/course material. I do know that in about a month, if my grades are good, I'll be getting a laptop...going to e-mail again tomorrow

I guess that's everything. I should get in the shower and pull out my clothes for the interview. Wish me luck!

no I'm not going to be up until 4 am...at least I don't think I will

since I slept for like 8 hours (4 pm to midnight) I have all this energy but I keep yawning.

I think the weekend is catching up with me. If I'm going to continue going out on the weekends like I did this past one, I'm going to definitely need to take naps! or pick up a coffee drinking habit (which I kind of had since spending so much time with my cousins)

I finished watching Ghost Rider, reorganized my DVDs and now I'm searching for a song I keep hearing on my shuffle that isn't on iTunes...and now apparently isn't on my shuffle either? Has any one had that happen? hear a song in it's entirety and when you go to look for it (for the name or artist) can't find it on your player or iTunes? Rather frustrating! But I know the name of the song and who sings it so I was able to look for the lyrics to add to my "date" journal.

Umm I don't know what else to say. I guess I go organize my recently posted entries, download some music and go back to bed.

Been kind of MIA for a while

Got back in touch with a friend/cousin and been hanging out with her family & friends. Lots and Lots of fun!

Jan 3rd after my cousin's Bridal Shower. We went to her fiancé's apartment to drop off the gifts and ended up hanging out there until 1 or 2 am!

Then Friday I went to Bible Study with them. I got home at a decent hour then - 11 pm.

Saturday was a fun day. Pizza, hardcore crushing and Avatar 3D! Didn't get home until 3 am and didn't go to bed until 4 am!

Tonight...err Sunday night we watched the Packers/Cardinals game, then went to my cousin's fiancé's apartment for a "family" dinner. That was fun. And then I had kind of a let down and had a little cry.

It feels like I'm being overly dramatic, but if I could stop, I would. I didn't realize I'd feel the way I felt after 4 days and it feels kind of childish but my Aunt and cousin are like "don't pull away" but I don't want to get hurt and meh! it's almost like high school all over again.

I'm NOT going to be up until 4 am! I'm going to bed now because I have a lot of cleaning to do that I neglected over the weekend. haha

this isn't cool!

I may be the lowly secretary here and the office is somewhat cluttered, but I can find stuff without any problems.

Last April I went on a 2 week vacation and my office was "cleaned". A bag of about 15 plastic table covers were tossed! THEY WERE STILL GOOD! That was the first thing I noticed missing. The over the summer, well actually around Halloween, Target had some orange & yellow plates and napkins so I picked up some for the church's Thanksgiving dinner. Guess what! when I needed them, those too were missing!

Now I'm trying to redo the bulletin board and I need my decorations that I'd collected over the 8 years I've been working here. It's not much, but I BOUGHT IT WITH MY MONEY so it means A LOT to me! Valentine's Day, Easter and St. Patrick's Day decorations MISSING!

WHAT THE HELL!?

Oh wait...some Easter stuff was left. 2 bunny & egg borders were left and that's because they were in a box of balloons (which, I've never seen before)!

Not cool tossing my stuff. Makes me NOT want to put forth any addition effort to make things not look so plain and crappy.

And if my stuff hasn't been tossed, just moved someplace else...still not cool because I don't know where it's at and that does me no good!

Just a few Merry Christmas pictures!

opened some gifts. favorite one so far is a snuggie! my dad got my mom, sister, sister-in-law and I snuggies.
