So, this 4th of July was pretty good. Since I got out of working on the 4th my mother had me ake my neice to the parade, and we ended up having Anthony (my 2 year old nephew) and Daniel (my 17 year old nephew) with us too. Then there was the normal family dinner, giving Dakota his birthday presents (he got a Gameboy SP from my mother), going to ( Read more... )

Only 7 more hours until I can go home. Its been nearly 3 months since I've been home and I'm needing me a fix. Mostly I think its the thought of not having to work and getting to spend time with Sabrina that has me happy. That combined with the fact that I was not supposed to be able to until tomorrow at 4:30 meaning I'd miss most of the holiday ( Read more... )

So, today I had a shocking bit of news at work. Donna, an older woman who cashiers at work came up to the desk on her way out looking for Eric. Now, Eric is 20 years old and the guy I've had a crush on for quite a while now. We flirt and tease, but I never really expected it to go anywhere, cause these things never do, plus he got a girlfriend ( Read more... )

I've been watching a ton of mvoies lately, because Blockbuster finally convinced me to join their rewards program. $9.99 a year, and Monday-Wednesday I rent one movie get one non-new release free, and ever 5 new releases I rent I get the 6th free. I've all ready earned 2 free new-releases and have gotten at least 6 free non-new releases. I've ( Read more... )

I've worked at Kroger for almost 6 years, and never have we had a manager or even a co-manager that has been as fully disliked as the manager we have right now. It comes as a pleasure and a torture then when a letter appears stapled to our checks. The letters almost always mean new rules she's going to put in place (or old ones she's going to be ( Read more... )

What do you do when its 11:00pm and you are all by yourself and more bored than you've been in along time? Seriously, I wish that I knew what to do with myself right now, cause I do not want to sit around this apartment for the next two hours watching tv. So, I'm off for a car ride. Not really much more entertaining than sitting around here, but ( Read more... )

OK, so I'm in Alpena right now, and I brough Scarlet and Sakura with me. All ready things with the cats have been lovely. First I couldn't get Sweetheart out of hiding, then I couldn't find KB (who ended up being outside). Once I did find KB he hissed at me a few times when I tried to pet him, then he marked on me (oh fun). Then Sakura kept ( Read more... )

OK, so its been over three months since I totalled out my Saturn driving home from student teaching. I didn't write about it when it happened, so I'll write about it now. It actually happened the day Andy arrived in Michigan, while Heather and Lyndsey were going to get him. I was driving around this bend in the road (the same road I always took ( Read more... )

I'm currently here listening to the Colbert Report (which was the only reason that I stayed up this late to begin with) Well, actually the Colbert Report is now over, which saddens me, though not nearly as much as I was saddened when I realized I'd missed half of his "the word" segment because that is my favortie part of the show. Though, ( Read more... )
