Sorry about what happened yesterday with the blog. I dunno why it went offline for awhile, and I also don't know how long it was offline, but that's what that last post was about. I thought maybe it screwed up when I published the first time, but it must've been something else. I was very pissed tho. And I couldn't fix it, which makes it all the more frustrating.

Well, Josh was feeling ill last night, apparently from some fast food he had for lunch yesterday, so he brought me home early, and we didn't really have much time to talk. I wasn't too upset, since I could get to bed early! :o) I never get to bed at a reasonable time when I'm at his house. I always leave too late.

Today seems very promising. I have to run to CVS (bleh), but I saw there was a yard sale, and it had a hellishly huge amount of stuff, so I might stop by there after CVS, and the Bookmobile is in town, so I may stop there too. I've never been to one of them, so I'm not quite sure what is involved, but I wanna look. Same with the yard sale. My dad, the "yard sale follower," slowed the car down really slow to take a look at the yard sale, and he wants me to check something out for him. Would take the fun out of it, but I haven't been to one of those yard sales in probably 2-3 years, and the last time I was, I got a lot of kick-ass stuff. So, my hopes are high, although I've gone to many in my day (heh, I kinda sound like one of those elderly guys who like to tell stories: "Back in my day...."), so I know that I may not find anything worth it, but I'm gonna look anyway. It looks like the sky's gonna open up very soon, so I have to get goin within the hour, so I'm not standing outside in someone's yard when it does. Even though I have an umbrella. Cause I know I'm gonna leave it in the car. I always do, which defeats the purpose, don'tcha think? ;o)

Okay, well, maybe I'll be back later, but I dunno at this point. I have a lot of blog catching up to do after yesterday's situation, so I may not get back to ramble on more. Okay, well, have a great Labor day weekend!!!! Don't miss me too much! ;o)

Fuck. I dunno what's wrong, but I'll try to publish again.

Damn it all to hell.

My sis went shopping last night. Food shopping. Guess what that means.

Yes, more junk food. Not just one bag of chips. No, more than that. I mean, multiple bags of chips, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, for chrissakes!!! Cannot wait until I can move in with Josh. He doesn't like cake, or shit like that. He eats way healthier than I do. And that's good, because then I won't waste my money on the bad stuff.

Of course, I say that now. That will probably change. He'll probably start eating all that shit after we're married.

"Curses!!"
Heh, bet you don't know what show that came from. Guess it right, and.... hell, I dunno, feel an extreme sense of pride at knowing that useless trivia??

This is real funny. Go read it now. I've had a similar situation happen to me, but not quite to that extent. Just an old guy hitting on me was bad enough.

What I wanted to write about last night, but had no computer to do so...

I really like these Backpacker magazines I got, because they're so full of wonderfully gorgeous pics of the country and beaches and mountainsides...Ooooh, I love it! The articles are interesting too, but they're kinda like those biographies of famous people, where there is a section of pictures in the middle, and you go flip through those pages first (well, I do anyway). You just wanna look at all the pretty pictures first, and then go back and read the articles. Time-consuming? Yes. Do I really care that much about my time, since I've got waayy too much of it on my hands anyway? Nope. I think that statement will come back and bite me in the ass one day in the future tho. Just wait. I'll be complaining on here about not having enough time to do anything, and then you will remember what I just typed, and then you have permission to yell at me. That is, if you'd like to waste your time. :o]

Screw it, I'll just write what I'm thinking now about the crap I wrote last night

I was trimming magazine articles last night, and I realized that cutting a straight line is very difficult. I'm not sure if anyone can do it free hand, and actually have it match up close to a ruler's edge or something. But damn, I've always wondered how someone got the straight edges to begin with. How did they ever get the ruler so straight before any of that was invented? Do you know what I mean? Maybe I'm just ignorant in that subject, but I've always kinda wondered how that happened. Let me know if you figure it out, or if you just have a good guess.

Mercury is going retrograde today...

Actually, it was this morning. And Pluto is going direct, after being retrograde for awhile. It went retrograde on March 23 of this year. I honestly don't feel like explaining it all, so if you want to know more go to this site on astrology and look it up. I'm pretty interested in that, and I know a decent amount of info about it, but I still am not an "astrology buff." I tend to look at way too many horoscopes every day, and look into some astrological happenings, and I also read my astrology magazine I get every month, but I don't actively research it anymore. Not like I used to. Maybe I'm just happy with my bit of knowledge, and my brain says I should go learn something else in depth. I dunno. :oP I told you I was tired, so if that didn't make a bit of sense, that's to blame. :o)

"Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale."
--Gieselle C. Viera

I'm really quite tired at the moment. I think it's because I was rushing around this morning, and now that I've stopped, and relaxed for a bit, I feel like I just ran 5 miles. Bleh.

I was rushing around because I was meeting my friend, Jen, whom I finally got in touch with after months of phone tag. We went to the Grill Shop, the greatest fucking place to eat on earth!!! Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit (ok, a lot), but I absolutely love that place. Ah, Spiderman (the movie) is on tv right now, and I'm getting distracted. I hope no "dreams" of Tobey Macguire come from this. ;o) No wait, probably not; I'm seeing Josh tonight, so I probably won't be having those kinds of dreams tonight after my "alone" time with my honey, if you catch my drift. ;o]

I was thinking a lot last night when I got to my grandmother's and I wrote some of my thoughts down (my wrist was killing me by the time I was done). I'm gonna type them up in a few minutes, but I'll post this first, so this isn't overly long and winded (although I'm afraid it might be at this point).

Well, ttfn, and have a great day!! :oD

I love cats...they taste just like chicken. -Gotten from Bloghop at the top of the page, and I dunno who really said it.

Heh, that's a great quote, even if I like cats.

Bleh, no privacy again today, since Chuck is sitting behind me playing Playstation. Not like he'd be paying attention to what I type, but that uneasy feeling returns no matter what.

Josh decided to tell me in last night's phone convo, right at the beginning, that he was visiting his grandmom, and his cousin brought one of her friends over, and told me that he felt guilty, because he thought she was hot. Not the way I wanted to start the convo, especially since I was in a pretty happy mood before that, and that just wasn't the thing I wanted to hear. I don't hear it often from him, so that's why it seemed quite "shocking," and I wasn't really mad, but it still wasn't a phrase you ever want to hear from your boyfriend. I coulda done without that info, thanks. Yeah well. At least it's not a thing he says every time we go somewhere. Then I think I'd be more upset about it. Plus he said he was guilty, and all he did was look at the girl. So, I don't feel that bad. And the rational part of my mind is telling me that 'it's not that bad,' 'guys are like that,' 'at least he told you,' but it doesn't take that weird feeling away. He also told me that the parts he thought were really attractive to him were the parts that reminded him of me. Didn't exactly make me feel better after what he said a few minutes before, but that does kinda take the focus off of it a bit. He's not one of those horndogs that goes after any attractive female out there; he even said she was ditzy, and he really hates that. Most guys do. He likes a certain kind of look on a girl (or so he explained to me many times before), and he's very picky. Maybe I just feel competitive, since I really didn't work too hard on getting him to notice me before we started dating. I usually was the pursuer (is that how you spell it? it doesn't look right to me) of guys, and I always liked the guy who "unobtainable," and I would try my hardest to be noticeable. I guess I feel like I lost a bit of ground there of him thinking of me as a "goddess." Heh. I never referred to myself as a goddess before. I kinda like it. ;o)

But this thing was on my mind this morning, and, although my walk helped to clear my mind from any weird jealousy feelings, I still feel torn, and I'm not quite sure why. That's why I've been trying to think this through on here. I still don't know what to think or feel about it; I guess I should just push it aside til I can at least talk about it more with him, but I do feel better now that I got it out. I know I don't have a hell of a lot of drama going on in my life, and I can be a drama-queen at times (I know it's hard to believe, but I'm not always freaking out about little things :oP), but I do feel like I shouldn't be spending so much time on this subject.

Okay then, new subject. Sam (who has been on my blogroll for a while) has linked to me, and I wanted to just make some room to feature her blog here. It's a good feeling when someone likes what you do, and make time for everyday, even if you only really start out with the intention of making yourself happy. I'm glad she likes it!

Well, I've run out of stuff to blabber on about. I guess that means it's time to go. Well, on that note, have a wild Wednesday! :oD

Yes I'm back again...

Only for a short while tho. While I'm here, I wanted to link this one blog here. He's on my blogroll, and I'm sure a lot of you heard of him, but I wanted to say that Acidman is very intelligent, and, although we would probably not get along in the regular world (I'm really too shy, but, even so, I like people who are very outspoken and loud, probably since I wish I was more like that), I really respect what he says. He's quite opinionated, and I know he would complain that my blog is too "messy," but I still think he's great. His is one of my favorite blogs.

I just had apple butter toast for dinner. Not very well planned out, since I'll be hungry again in about 30 minutes probably, but it was good. Of course, it woulda been better if I had Bauman's apple butter (that is the best shit in the world! Well, not literally, although it does kinda resemble it; ew nevermind), but all there was in the fridge was Musselman's apple butter. Not bad, but I like Bauman's so much better since it doesn't really soak into the bread, and isn't all runny. Not to mention I wasn't sure how old this stuff was. I don't think it was too old, because it smelled and tasted fine, but, seeing as I really don't live there, it's kinda hard to tell when things were gotten, and there was no experation date on it. So I said fuck it. If I get sick, I get sick. I don't think I got anything to worry about tho. But if I'm not back tomorrow, you'll know why.

A good idea...

Dawn makes a very intelligent observation that I couldn't have said any better: "Have sex if you must, but get yourself sterilized, because they have not found a cure for stupidity."

It's great when people point things out. :o] Unless, of course, it's about you. Then it sucks major ass.

Has anyone been having problems getting onto Angie's page lately?? All this week I haven't been able to read it; Internet Explorer says it's not available, or some shit like that (I don't even read it anymore, so I don't quite remember exactly what it said). Let me know if you're having problems too, cuz I just wanna be sure it's not this computer or anything. I'd rather wait to read her site after a long time because the actual site was down, rather than never to be able to read it on here again.

Chuck finally went into his room to sleep. He was napping in the living room when I got here, and he woke up soon after I got here, but he just took off his glasses and went back to sleep. I hate that. I know it's his apartment, but damn, is it annoying! I just like to have my own privacy when I'm on here, and him sleeping takes that away. He wasn't even watching tv or anything for the longest time (which he could do in his bedroom, as well as sleep, and play Playstation, or whatever the hell he does when he's home, but no, he had to bug me by being in here). Eh well, I dunno why he did that, but he's in his bedroom now, and I feel better. I know, it isn't my place, but it just bugs me when common sense would say that someone should do something, and they do the complete opposite (example: my sis). I guess I'm just too normal, and actually think about other people when I do most things, and no one can do likewise (well, the people who I complain about mostly). I think I'm around these people too much, and need a break from them. Maybe that's why I'm getting so bitchy about them. *shrugs* Not unlikely. ;o)

"The harder you rub, the cleaner I come." -answer of bachelor on The Dating Game for a laundry detergent slogan question about himself

Ahahaha, I remember watching this show awhile ago. This was probably the funniest thing that was said. It was a show on the funniest game show moments.

Ah anyway, I was having real problems with my family last night. Or rather, my mom and my sis, Tina. The car had between 1/4 and 1/8 of a tank of gas by the time I got to the SPCA, and I told them they needed to get gas. Both of them were like,"Well, we don't have any money." So, we headed home. By that time, it's even closer to 1/8 of a tank (just about right on the line), and I remember when I ran out of gas that it just went down to empty right away after the 1/8 of a tank line, from when I ran out of gas at work. After I ate dinner, I heard my mom mention something like, "I hope the car doesn't run out of gas," and I said, "Is anyone going to get gas? Or have you figured out what you're gonna do?" And my sis said, "Well, we'll just leave it for Dad to get the gas tonight." Then I explained that I needed to get out to my grandmom's house, and I had my clothes for the next day, so I had too much to carry on a walk, and if the gas is down that low, then we can just go to the gas station, and I'll pay for it with my card (even tho my funds are extremely low), and someone just had to go with me to drop me off. Well, no one wanted to get up off their lazy ass, so I said I'd get the gas anyway, and just keep the car there. They didn't want me to do that, and they said that Dad should do it. I'm like, 'Fuck no, we're not procrastinating about this shit, like you do for everything else and screw everything up for yourself by being lazy-assed about it.' Well, that's what I was thinking, anyway. They kept telling me, "No, just leave it for Dad." I refused, and got my stuff and left to get the gas. I kept the car at my grandmother's place, and was going to have my dad drive it, so he didn't have to deal with the shitty one that's slowly dying, but I woke up this morning, and looked out the garage door, and someone had switched the cars. I was not happy about that, since I think with the attitudes they had last night, they needed the shit car to die on them, and get what they needed as far as a reality check about procrastination. Also, because the shitty car is my sis's car, really, and she doesn't drive it ever. She stopped driving it when it started getting weird, and my dad just decided to take it upon himself to drive it, since she was being a bitch about it (not to mention that she can't drive well, although, she thinks she's the safest driver in the world, when she really drives too cautiously, and goes too slow, and that creates as much of a hazard as the fucking maniacs on the road).

So, I was not a happy camper last night, and I tried to calm down, but I just had to be away from them. After I got the gas, I went to my church and went to visit my grandfather's grave and my bro's grave. Of course, I didn't really bring any flowers or anything, since it was a spontaneous stop, but it was calming nonetheless. I got there just as the sun set, and it was really pretty. I was uncomfortable since they took the bushes down that were seperating the road and the graveyard, so I felt kinda naked standing there talking to them. Yes, I was talking out loud, and I woulda felt more comfortable with the bushes there, but ya deal with what ya get. It was nice, tho.

I keep getting these magazines in the mail that I never subscribed to. Field and Stream is one of them, and that's been coming to my house addressed to me specifically, and I never subscribed to it, never showed an interest in it, no one is paying for it, and I got that yesterday, along with 2 issues of Backpacker, which is the same circumstance. The address label says that I'm subscribed to it until June of 2005. WTF??? I dunno how I got 'em, but they aren't really that bad. I've been giving my bro-in-law the Field and Stream ones for the past few months, and the Backpacker ones I got for the first time yesterday. But I got multiple ones of the Field and Stream a couple months ago and now I get it every month, so that's what'll happen with the Backpacker ones, I imagine. I don't think the Backpacker ones are kinda interesting, so I'm not really mad, just more confused than anything about it. Oh well. Free magazines! :o]

Well, have a thoughtful Tuesday!! :oD

"I knocked several times, but you weren't in."
--Opportunity

I love perfume and all "smell good things." Not that that's important for you to know or anything, but I just thought I'd inform you all of that one. Of course, if you know me outside of "bloggerdom," then you probably know I love perfume, as I tend to refresh it too many times during the day (so I can smell it, of course), and by the end of the day, it's way too fuckin strong. Well, that's usually what would happen back in school. I was very paranoid that I smelled bad. I dunno why, just something I freaked out about. Now I don't really go over-board with it. Josh has been getting headaches in the afternoon when I show up at his house, and I joked that it was my perfume. Which it might very well be. He's one of "those people" with a very good sense of smell, so I do rely on him a bit so my perfume isn't too strong. But I will never stop wearing it. "Nevah!" ;o)

Anyway. I hate that I always have something cool to say, and by the time I get on the computer, and get the chance to blog, I forget everything important I wanted to comment on. It's a sucky, sucky thing.

Sean Connery's birthday is today. He's 73!!! I didn't realize he was that old! Damn! He's older than Regis, who I thought was way old! (It's Regis' birthday today too) Sonofabitch! It's amazing the things you learn everyday.

"Shake your tailfeather!" Heh, if only Carol would be able to read this. We were cracking up about this. It's in a rap song that we heard while cleaning daycare, and it was just so funny. We were saying it the rest of the day. I think people thought we were seriously crazy. But that's okay, since I believe we are. ;o]

Another fact about me: I love peanut M&M's. I don't like the regulars an awful lot, but I absolutely looooove these!

AOL 9.0 is weird. It seems to be a big improvement since 8.0, but I don't trust AOL period, so I'm not depending on it too much. Plus, it did this weird thing while I was typing, and I dunno what it was, but a little window had popped up that said "Do you wish to stay online?" I'm like, "fuck yeah! I'm typing my blog message, can't you see that?" No, really, I think it might've been call-waiting or some shit like that. Well, I won't know unless it happens again, will I?

Uhhmmm...I know there was more going on in this head of mine, but I can't reach it now. Dammit. Well, it's hard to think right now, so I better not hurt myself, and hurry up here. Alrighty, have a great day!! :oD

"Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little."
--Edmund Burke

I had just gotten an email from my sales director in Mary Kay, Judi, which basically said the same thing in so many words. It's damn good advice, and I should really listen to it more often. ;o)

Oooo!!! I almost forgot to mention!!! Trading Spaces is coming to B-town!!!! I think the shooting is supposed to be Sept. 4, 5, and 6, tho I'm not completely sure. I think I'm gonna go try to visit those people (whom I don't know) that are participating in the show. ;o) They probably won't let me anywhere near there, but I can try. I just found out about this last night in The Boyertown Times. That's definately one episode I'm gonna tape!!

Ahh...not much news otherwise. I'm printing out info about African Violets, because my g-mom has a whole bunch of 'em, and I have to take care of them, and I'm not always the best with plants. I didn't know if anyone was actually taking care of them for this past month, and I really don't think anyone has, now that I think about it. I hope they don't die on me, since she's had them for years, and I'd feel terrible if she came back and they were all dead. Hence the reason for printing out care instructions for them. :o]

Well, if something else happens, or I find something else to comment about, "I'll be back". If not, have a wonderful weekend!! :oD

"Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have."
--Norman Vincent Peale

I don't have anything good to say about the quote. I think it speaks for itself, anyway.

I also am completely out of things to write about at the moment. I think I will have to just come back later and maybe then I'll have something. Right now, I've got nothing. Alright that's what I'll do. If you want, come back later today, and maybe there'll be some quizzes or something kewl to look at. TTFN! :oD

I keep forgetting (duh!) to thank the website and the creator of the template. Here's the address: Halfway Gully. They've got some pretty good templates, so go check 'em out!

And, as you can see, I got the Zonkboard back up, even tho no one really writes in it anymore.

And that is all, since I gotta get my ass movin now. Have a great day! :o)

I don't like how the ad at the top of the page is all funked up. I wonder how to fix that? Maybe that's something Blogger will have to deal with. ??? Dunno.

Heh, take a look at this horoscope. It sounds exactly like my day is going already!

20 August 2003

The moon is trine to Mars in the eleventh to the third
house.You're in an assertive mood today brought on by the
lunar aspect to Mars. You won't be content until you've made
your unique mark on any social occasion; and true to form
you're quite unforgettable now! The only problem is that there
seems too much to do is such a short time so you'll be busily
zooming around being a social butterfly. So today is going to
be busy. There are plenty of short trips to the shops, to
visit friends and to carry out minor tasks like taking your
overdue books back to the library. You won't have time to be
bored, and that's just the way you'll like it. In fact, you'll
be quite keen to do some fetching and carrying for a friend
too.

Damn, sometimes this specific horoscope really is right on target!

Has anyone ever read the book To Touch a Dream by Aviva Hellman? I think it's a great book. It's one of those where they take you throughout the start of the family, and then go down through the generations to their great-grandchildren kinda book. I remember reading the one Sweet Valley High Sagas and it did that same thing, down to the twins. I thought that was a really good look at how they came to be. I like this book even better. It starts around 1915, or sometime close to that, and it's placed in this little town called Bet Enav, over in Palestine, and it goes through the first World War, and I'm at the year 1929 now. I would say I'm close to halfway done with the book.

I decided I read too much. I know that sounds weird to you, but you should see how many books I've accumulated over the years that I haven't even read! I have them all stacked up, waiting to be read (and me, being the Great Organizer, has to have the books stacked up in the order I got them, so I don't read one that I just got 2 weeks ago before one that I've had for 2 years), and what do I do? The library is a very happy place for me, and at work, they have this little cart thing in the MPR (multi-purpose room) full of books that they call "the library." Well, Carol was looking at them to pick one for her mom, and I started looking, and I found this book, and now I'm going completely out of my little order, just to read this one book. And you know what? I'm damn glad I did. The past few I read had the same kind of story to them, and I guess I was kinda getting sick of it. But after this one, I have to go back to my stack of books. So, yell at me if I start writing about a book that I got from the library. I deserve it. ;o) Just jokin. Seriously, I have to ignore the library for a few months, until I get a bit more caught up with my books. There. I'm done rambling waaaayyy past my original point. I'm sure you're happy I am. :oP Must be going now. This is taking up too much of my time today. And what did my horoscope say about time? There doesn't seem to be enough of it? That's how it seems! See ya later! :oD

"Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower."
--Hans Christian Anderson

I remember loving Hans Christian Anderson's version of The Little Mermaid (the book) when I was younger, and that's the only story I ever remember reading of his ever since. Just thought you needed to know that bit of info. ;o)

Anybody else notice how Madonna's stomach looks black in the Gap commercial that just came out a few weeks ago? It's not the most noticeable thing, but Josh pointed it out to me last weekend, and I was reminded of it just now when the commercial came on. Must be support hose or something of the like. Even though she is getting older, I still think the black hose looks worse than a normal stomach. Notice I said "normal." Not like Britney Spears, like mine. Not many of us here in the real world have stomachs like that. But, then, Madonna is a celebrity, and she must maintain the "perfect ideal" for us who look up to her. Me, I think it's a load of shit that perfection has gotten out of reality, but that's the way it is lately. Oh well.

So, after all that rambling, how do y'all like my new look? I like it because it makes the page look cleaner. I have yet to put the title somewhere, tho. The banner over to the left that says "Wonderful Written Words" is part of the template, and I don't want everyone confusing that with the title, so I have to figure out how to display the title on here without making it look corny. I dunno. I'll figure something out. I got a new template after all my aggravations, didn't I? Yes I did. And I'm quite proud of myself.

Even if I had to get detailed descriptions. :oP

I was working on this waaaayyyy too much last night, and got to bed later than what I woulda preferred. I was also excited about it so much, that I couldn't calm myself down for quite a bit trying to get to sleep. Sad, isn't it? :o]

Well, I'm off to be fixin things up; whatever's left to do here. Enjoy your day!!! :oD

Tah-dah!!!

Here's the new layout for now. I figured it out, especially since the creator of this template actually explained how to do some of the shit, so it's all good now. I may make a few adjustments, but this is it so far. Enjoy! :o)

Okay, one post before I fuck with the template yet again. Please bear with me during this time, since it is getting close to my bedtime (I go to bed early :oP), so it may not look right at first, but tough shit for the moment. Sorry, I'm getting tired, so the "witty" style of talking is out the door for me now. Wish me luck with this! Although, it really isn't all that difficult; I guess I just suck at this stuff. :o]

Fuck fuck fuck. I still don't know what I'm doing. I uploaded the pics the right way (I think...) and I just can't get this crap organized. I really am stuck here. I'm too stubborn to stop with this one I downloaded yesterday, and get a template from another website, so I'm just really freakin stuck. Shit.

"I'm trying to help you, but you're running around like a fucking maniac." -Robin Williams as Walter Finch in the movie Insomnia

Heh, that could be said about a lot of people I know. :o) Anyway, I got an email from someone who was looking at my other website (which rather sucks; it was done quite a few years ago, and hasn't been worked on since), and they were asking about my Empire Records page (bestest movie in the world!!). I even forgot I had another page! Which is kinda funny, since I spent one hell of a lot of time on webtv creating that damn thing. Well, whatever.

I found some websites with templates on 'em (I'll link to them soon), and I even got halfway through getting it together for here, but I can't figure this shit out. I haven't been able to figure out how to uplaod shit to the web thru Windows XP. I hate Windows XP, but I'm just gonna have to deal with it. Anyway, I haven't really messed around with it too much today, but I was getting really frustrated yesterday. Not only haven't I figured out how to upload (I know I must sound like such a novice, which I am), but I can't open the one document in just any program. The instructions say to open it in a text editing program, but Windows XP won't let me choose what to open it with. Dammit. I need to learn more about computers, and then I wouldn't have to fuck around with this crap. Well, if anyone has a clue how to help me, I'd appreciate the advice! I'm gonna mess around with it a bit more, but if I can't figure it out soon, I'll just give in to Blogger's sucky templates. Bleh...

Ah, well, I better get to doin that, cuz I get the feeling it's gonna take awhile. So, enjoy your day!! :oD

"This very moment is a seed from which the flowers of tomorrow's happiness grow."
--Margaret Lindsey

Very good advice there. It's always good to keep an eye out for what you could do to make tomorrow a better day.

I actually remember a lot of shit that happened this weekend. Usually, I forget a lot of what happens, so rather than forcing myself to try to remember all that useless stuff, I just don't write about it. But today I will write about it.

Let's see...First off, I should say that I had the weekend off, in case you might not have remembered I worked last weekend...Saturday, I had slept over at my grandmother's place (yes, she's still at Manorcare, but she's doing a hell of a lot better than when I first saw her), and I got up at a reasonable time, and was getting ready to take my shower. Well, my uncle, Carl, shows up, and proceeds to wash his truck. I'm thinkin to myself, 'Why is he washing his truck when it's supposed to rain today?' but I didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't even bother to actually come in and say hi. He just came into the house to wash his hands and whatnot, but he never actually tried to be, OMG this is so hard: nice or anything like that, he just did what he wanted without informing me of what it was. So, I had to wait to take a shower for a damn hour or so. That didn't piss me off until I saw that it was getting late, and needed to take my shower within a half an hour, or I'd be late meeting Josh. So, knowing that, you know I was not a very happy girl right then. He finally left, but not without leaving shit for me to clean up after him. This is the uncle who had to shower there, since his bathroom was getting work done to it at his house, and used a new towel each day. Now, who's left to do the laundry?, you ask.

Me. I was not very happy with him then. And he just takes advantage that someone's there to clean up, cause he doesn't understand wiping his shoes on the mat at the door. Nor does he seem to notice that he doesn't live there, and needs to respect that it's someone else's house. But my mom summed it up (of course, generalizing the gender), "He's a man, wha-do-ya expect?" I don't like to generalize, but I had to agree with that. I know not all men are like that, but a lot are, and he seems to be an extreme example.

Anyway, not much happened later that day. That night I slept at my grandmother's again, and didn't have any surprise visitors the next morning; in fact the morning was very good. The whole day was great actually. We had pizza for dinner, and we rented 2 movies: About Schmidt, and The Princess Bride. I thought About Schmidt was really good, and although I wouldn't spend my money to buy the tape or anything, it would definately be a good one to rent again. The Princess Bride is one of my very favorite movies (one of Josh's too), and I wish I had a copy of it. You know you've got a good man when one of his favorite movies is The Princess Bride. ;o) Not to mention, it was just one of those romantic nights for me and Josh, and I felt very close to him. Not to mention that I was horny as hell. But you really didn't wanna know that, did ya? :o) Sorry. Anyway, I had to leave semi early, so we didn't have too much time to cuddle or "anything else." So, I was kind of upset about that, but it was a good night, and I tried not to ruin it by being stupidly emotional.

That was the main parts of the weekend. Not too exciting, but it ended wonderfully, so I'm happy.

I want to change this template. I know I mentioned it before, and, obviously, didn't do anything about it, but I'm considering the crappy ones at Blogger since I have nowhere else to get some nifty templates. I think that my "stuff" on the side of this page will liven up the boring ones I'm stuck using. So, if it looks different tomorrow, I just wanted to warn you now.

Alrighty, I think I covered everything I had wanted to write, so I shall go. Have a happy Monday!!! (Damn you Drabick, you soiled that phrase for all of us Boyertown-ians!!) :oD

I think this is pretty accurate, but I was actually expecting to get "butt" or "lips," since those are the 2 main things that Josh likes. ;o)

"And my report will read IDGARA: I don't give a rat's ass."

- Robin Williams as Hunter Patch Adams in "Patch Adams"

Heh, that was is a good one. I also really liked the movie it came from. Speaking of movies, Maid in Manhatten is on now. I don't like it. I've seen way too many movies like it. Oooooh, they're gonna do it!!! ;o) What a surprise, huh?

Ah, this weather sucks. First, it rains for 17 days straight, breaking that record from the 1800's in our area for the longest straight period of rain, and now it's way too fuckin hot. I really don't like the summer for that reason. That's why my favorite season is spring.

Hmmm....the only other thing to mention is what every damn person is probably commenting on today: New York. I don't have much to add to it, but I'm pretty amazed at how many people take the subway there. Now, I'm from lil ol' B-town, and even though I've been to New York about 5-6 times at least, but it still raises my eyebrows at the massive amount of people there. And, I also feel bad, because if you remember a few weeks ago, I had to go through that electricity thing, and I really was aggravated by it, just because I couldn't take showers and whatnot. Not to mention the toilet thing. I won't go any further than that about the toilet issue. :o] But yes, it does suck, and I hope no one goes too nuts from it. In fact, if ya think about it, this would be the ideal time for burglars and people stealing stuff to strike. I hope that doesn't happen. And I sincerely hope no one gets hurt or anything. I would like to think people are better than that.

I'm contemplating getting my hair cut again. I think it needs more of a style than it possesses now. Not that it looks bad, but it is getting kinda...blah. Eh well, I might, I might not. I'll have to get one of my buds to do me a favor and cut it for me, rather than me try to (it's way too long to mess with a complicated cut), and so I don't have to pay way too much for it.

I'm gonna be goin now. Gotta run out and do shit. I'm not really in a mood to, but I wanna get it done so I don't have to fuck with it tomorrow. Alrighty, have a superb day today!!!! :oD

My legs are aching from exercise this morning. Not as bad as usual, but it's never a wonderful feeling. It just tells me that I'm gonna be feelin it tomorrow. And the numbness in my upper lip has finally gone away. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that. I went to the dentist to get some cavities filled. Hooray! *to be read with a sarcastic voice* Actually, I'm not as weirded out by going to the dentist as most people are. He uses enough novicaine that I'm completely numb, and I don't worry about it, which is about half the torture of going in the first place. Since I have no insurance, it wasn't cheap, but I feel lucky that I didn't inherit my dad's set of teeth. He was one of the few who had extremely sensitive teeth, and, that and his teeth just not being very hard either, he had to get them pulled in his mid-twenties. Now my sis is going through the same kind of thing, but it's also because she doesn't brush her teeth, since they're so sensitive, and some of them really were getting bad. SO, thank God for my mom. If I didn't inherit her teeth, I dunno what I'd do. Mine still aren't all that perfect either. I know my parents weren't as rigid as they should have been about brushing, and that's why my teeth aren't really all that great now, and why I brush so incessantly. But I still had cavities, since I hadn't gone to the dentist for a few years, so blah.

Anyway, enough about that (I'm sure I grossed everyone out and scared you all away by now). A Beautiful Mind is on now, and I wish I woulda seen it from the beginning, since it seems like a really good movie. I always have that luck of seeing a movie from the middle. I never actually flip it on when it starts.

I finally got ahold of that one lady from Comfort Keepers about the job. It was all great and wonderful, but then she told me that they were looking more for someone to take a 3-11 shift and weekends. I'm like damn! I told her that I'd fill out an application (she's sending it through mail) and I'm excited about it, but the car situation is messed up. I don't have my own, so I have to share one with my family. Now, that would work out, but the problem is that I have to use the car to travel around the area for this job. My mom and sis need to be picked up from work at around 5 (or they're supposed to be done at 5), and I won't be able to pick them up at that time. And then that screws me up with Josh. I won't be able to see him much then. And I'll have to quit the Geriatric Center, which wouldn't be so bad, if I wasn't enjoying it so much now. So, I'm really stuck. I really don't know what I want right now. I don't think I'll be a very happy person during the week, since I won't see Josh, and there really isn't much of a solution with the car situation. I know the pay sucks, but I think the job is not that bad, and I would be getting insurance, and that is a very important thing right now. I know if I lived with Josh, and I had my own car, I wouldn't be so confused about what to do. So, as of right now, I dunno, and I'm leaving at that until I find out whether I have the job or not. I still haven't filled out the app. so I don't need to be freaking out just yet, I suppose. Right Jen, stop thinking, is what you're thinking as you read this, aren't you? Heh, I guess I need that advice just as much as you do. ;o)

Oh yeah, Crystal and I got together for a movie last night, which we hardly watched, we were talkin so much. I'm gonna miss her this year. I hope she has a lot of fun this year, and that it's way better than last year. I know she's not updating right now, but soon she might start updating, when she's back in school. Here's her blog: News Report from Florida

Well, I'm gonna get goin. I really need to finish this. I have to clean the cat vomit off the rug now. What fun! Hah.
Have a great day everyone!!! :oD

Yay for new stuff!!

I just got back from home. I brought my new tote bag, which is the perfect size to replace my over-sized purse now. So I'm very happy. It doesn't have a way to close it (zipper, snap, etc.) but I like it much better than the one I have now. Not to mention I've been waiting for the chance to buy it for a few months now, and I finally had the chance to last week, and now I have the nifty bag. Yay!!!! *does a little dance* :oD Sorry, I'm easily amused.

It is sooooo hot outside. The thing with my glasses happened again. Maybe it's fom being in the freezing cold a/c, and switching from that to a very hot, steaming car is what does it. I dunno. *shrug*

"Though all fires must burn to an ember
And all stones with time shall be broken
I pray you may always remember
That for you there are loves unspoken."

I really like that quote. Of course, I like all the ones I post here, but I like this one especially. Makes me feel special. :o) Anyway, I'm gonna be leaving to stop at home for a few minutes, cuz my MK stuff was delivered earlier (after I left, of course; that's always how it happens: the minute you leave to go somewhere after waiting for an important call is when they feel its a good time to call you) and I'm too impatient to wait til I get home after dropping the car off to get it.

This was one (of the many) horoscopes I got today:

13 August 2003

The moon is trine to Pluto in the first to the fifth
house.There seems to be some quite major change going on in
various areas of your life, the most important of which seems
to be in connection with children. A new baby could be on the
way into your family at around this time and this will
obviously change the tone of your life in a big way. Some of
you may have a major romance on the go now instead of or as
well as a child. It’s going to be an emotional day with all
your feelings reaching a highly charged state. Romantically
speaking, the object of your desire won't know what's hit him
(or her). You're likely to sweep a loved on off their feet
with the force of your passion. This could be a chance to
overcome any obstacles within your relationship.

What's with the getting pregnant shit? I had a horoscope similar to that about a month ago (remember, I posted it? The one with the twins?). Well, I'm getting my "monthly joy" tonight, so I'm not freaking out or anything, but it's still something I wasn't exactly expecting either. Heh, we'll see what happens.

Yesterday was really weird for me. I know I had stopped out at my grandmother's in the morning, took a shower, and when I got in the car (which was damn hot inside, my glasses actually were steaming!! I've honestly never had that happen in really hot weather ever before. Then it happened later in the day (different car)! I'm sure most of you think I'm weird for deeming that important enough to include here, but: 1- I am weird, and 2- it's my blog, so there! :oP I think maybe I was just trying to give an example of how humid it is here. Well, maybe I am just weird, and that's never happened to anyone else. Hmmm...has it happened to any of you? Let me know. Just out of curiosity, I'm interested to know.

Me and Crystal (I know, I know Josh: Crystal and I ;oP ) are going to hang out and watch a movie tonight at her house. We were gonna get together this afternoon, and I was not anticipating even being here this afternoon, but she had to change the plans for some reason or another, so we're getting together tonight. It's all good tho, cuz she's leaving this Friday to go back down to Florida (yay! Maybe that means she'll start up the blog again! Heh, I have no life...), and this will be the last time I get to see her for probably a year. Not to mention, she's the only one of my friends that I can actually make plans with, and keep them.

Wow, I'm watching The Pianist (or, rather, listening to it) and it's quite depressing. Of course, that whole time period, and the shit that went down was depressing. Uh-oh, he's locked in the room. Well, maybe not, there's a whole in the wall now. Shit, I don't even know what the hell goin on really, I should give up, and rent the damn thing if I wanna see it. I'm preoccupied here. ;o)

I hate when the action scenes of movies (bombs exploding, gunshots, and shit like that are about twice the volume of the voices, and the movie goes from scene to scene, and if you're not paying attention, it scares the living shit out of you. It certainly did to me at least 4 times so far.

Anyway, I better go now. I'm rambling too much, taking up too much space. Have a super day! :oD

"Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality overcomes everything."
--George Lois

Well, if I had creativity today, that would solve my problem of writer's block here. :o) Seriously, the only thing worth writing about was my visit to my grandmother, but even that wasn't very interesting. So, I visited my grandmother; we watched tv some, and talked a bit, and my mom and I were there for about an hour and a half. Sounds real fun, don't it? I like my grandmother and all, don't get me wrong, but it's not the best stuff to write about. Watching Wheel of Fortune doesn't really make anyone, even me, want to read it. I'm quite bored by it just writing about it.

Okay, I've got nothing. Now that I'm done babbling about that, I better go. Have a wonderful day! :oD

"Your mind is a very small, yet potent part of you. Control it, focus it, and nourish it with positive thoughts that resonate with your authentic self."
--Brian Koslow

Damn, damn, damn. I can't see right. I think I've been online too long. ;o) Heh, very likely reason. Also very true, regardless of my eyes being blurry and shit. Honestly, it's really fucking annoying.

Anyway, I ordered some MK stuff, and I'm expecting it later this week. I checked the "order status" page, just hoping and praying it was sent out early, but no luck.

Oh, me and Jen never did get together yesterday. I waited for an hour and a half (after paging and calling about 3 times), and said to myself, "fuck it" and left a voicemail telling her to call me later. I ended up driving the 20 minutes to Karen's house, had a wonderful dinner, and an enjoyable night. So, all is good, except for the long-distance phone bill for the month of August. ;o)

Ah, there's nothing like getting to do really sucky, shitty jobs with a very close friend of yours at work. Especially when she does all the hard work. ;o) Hey, I tried to switch jobs for a bit, but she wasn't having any of that, so I didn't push the issue. She insisted, after all. :o] Anyway, we were cleaning elevators yesterday. Yucky. I think my lungs are revolting against me cuz I was the one working with the extremely strong chemicals in the elevator, and this morning, on my walk, I noticed that I was breathing a bit heavier than usual, without the intensity I usually do. Doesn't worry me too much, tho. What does worry me is that I woke up this morning, prolly around 5 or so, and I had an immensly sharp pain on my right side, right under my ribs. I thought maybe it would be a cramp, or something, but it didn't go away for the longest time. The thing was, was that I had mentioned my appendicitis from last year, since we had lasagne for dinner, and the last time I had lasagne for dinner at her place was that one day yours truly was sick, and having major side pain. I know the pain I was experiencing this morning was not as deep feeling, nor in the same place as when I had the appendicitis, but it still freaked me out. I ended up falling asleep eventually tho, and woke up to no pain. Of course, I was afraid to move for a bit, just in case it was still there. But it's all good now. :oD

Yesterday was Chuckie's birthday, and I was going to get his present out of my closet that I've had for a few months, and wrap it, but, alas, I forgot. What a surprise, huh? ;oP I can still get it when I drop by my house in a few minutes.

Well, I better be off. Have a wonderful Monday, guys! :o)

"Our judgments judge us, and nothing reveals us, exposes ourweaknesses, more ingeniously than the attitude of pronouncing upon our fellows."
--Paul Valery

That is so true. I wish I had more to say about it, but I've had a major lack of motivation to post anything lond today, and I don't really know why, except maybe that I'm not looking forward to the weekend. Also, I've been catching up with my blog reading, and it's taken me the greater part of the afternoon, and I'm tired of reading shit. And I know I will be doin the same damn thing on Monday. So, I guess I'm trying to spare you all from boredom here, and make this day's posts short and sweet. Check out the blogroll if you have time; I added a new site: Big Pink Cookie is the title (sorry, trying to hurry, so not linking her site in the post).

Anyway, have a wonderful weekend, guys, and I hope to be able to report fun happenings on Monday. :o]

Tales from a Yeti Suit: Thoughts Archives

This one post is very sweet and it made me tear up a bit, just because it was that sweet. It's called "What I Love About Women." You gotta scroll down the page a bit to see it, but it's worth spending the few minutes to read it. :o)

I've finally started using the Internet Explorer browser, rather than AOL, and I really like it! I can finally use the BlogThis! thingy that I've been seeing, but haven't been able to use because AOL sucks. I also installed this new toolbar, and it's really nifty! Ilove it!!! Sorry, I'm easily amused; can ya tell? ;o) But, yeah, it's the greatest damn thing I've ever used so far. So, bub bye to AOL browser hell!

Not much to babble about today...I'm in a great mood cuz of the tool bar thingy, plus, I really look good today (or so I think ;oP ), and I'm getting together with Jen finally on Sunday. By luck, I just happened to catch her in the car on her way to work yesterday, and told her to call me on Sunday, and we'll probably end up getting dinner or something, so I'm excited about that. Plus, I'm trying to get ahold of my other buds, and maybe making plans with them, and I'm just all around happy! I get to see my Joshie tonight, so yay!! :oD

I have to call about a few jobs today, and I'm hopin that I can finally get ahold of the few who called me back about jobs, which I've been playing phone tag with the past few days. But I expect it all to work out in the end.

Ummm...I had more to write just then, but I can't think of it now. Hmmm...my bad memory is acting up again. ;) Anyway, I gotta go get stuff done, and then I'll be back with some more news (if I remember what it was). So don't miss me too much. :o)

Karo, Ruminations #17

Heh, that would be a good one to bring up at the Geriatric Center, since so many of them smoke. I'd absolutely love to see the look on their faces in reaction to that. :o)

Anyway, I was flipping through the channels this morning, and I started out with the ones I usually watch and E! is one of those. Well, they had the E! True Hollywood Story on about the murder of Dominique Dunne (I believe it was titled something like: An American Tragedy: The Story of Dominique Dunne), and I looked her up on Google, cuz, well, I recognized the name, but I didn't know who she really was. Now I know it was because she died a whole year before I was born, so that would explain it. Anyway, I was drawn to the whole story, and the actress herself, out of curiosity, I suppose. As I said, I looked up her name on Google and I got this as one of the many results. I don't know if many (or any of you really) know my birthday, but it's November 23, 1983. I never knew any actresses were ever born on my birthday; no one ever listed any that I knew. Now I know one. Anyway, I just thought that was an interesting piece of info. I think it's a weird coincidence, just like I was born 60 years exactly to the day of my grandfather's birthday. It's a shame he died before I was born; I think I really would've enjoyed him. Everyone has great stories of him; like he was the person and grandfather everyone liked, and he was what you would picture a loving, funny, and joyful grandfather would be. And I missed out on knowing him, and that fact saddens me quite a lot, but I guess what's meant to be will happen, and I wasn't meant to know him on Earth. But it still sucks. :o(

On to happy things. With Tobey Mcguire...

Like my dream yesterday morning, which I had no time to write about yesterday. Apparently, I was Tobey Mcguire's (I don't think that's how his name is spelled) lover, and the basic plot of the dream was having sex with him. It was very, very detailed, and very explicit. I know there was a whole lot more to the dream, but those parts aren't important. ;o) It's kinda funny, because I think Tobey Mcguire is cute, and kinda reminds me of Josh, but I don't really think he's majorly sexy or anything, so it was quite a shock when I woke up yesterday morning and realized what just happened in my subconscious. But, damn, what a (sex) scene it was! :o)

I also had a dream with my Joshie this morning, but I really couldn't tell ya most of it. I know we were supposed to be at the church were my MK meetings are, and I saw Elaine, who I work with, there, and there was a bit of sex, but I don't really remember what goes where in the timeline of that particular dream, so it's probably not even worth mentioning any more about it.

Speaking of dreams...

Remember my weird dreams with Prince showing up out of nowhere? Well, I haven't had any more, but I found out this interesting bit o' info. The song When Doves Cry doesn't have a bass line. I didn't notice it at all when I listen to it (which is a lot lately), but I watched The 100 Greatest Songs From the Past 25 Years on VH1 yesterday, and When Doves Cry was number 7, and the one guy commenting on it (can't remember the dude's name) said he heard it, and couldn't quite figure out what sounded so different about it, and then he realized that it had no bass line to it. Listen to it and you'll understand what I'm talking about! The dude said it was because Prince had made the song by himself, completely. No one else was on any instrument. He was doing all the instruments, and I guess the bass line was too much. But it's a damn good song, and I don't really think that it matters anyway. I thought that was impressive though. All the instruments yourself? Damn, I couldn't do that. I'm not coordinated enough to do seperate things with my hands. I'll find myself mimicking whatever I do from one hand to the other, no matter what I seem to be doing. Hell, some days I question my abilities of walking and talking simultaniously, since I'm such a clutz. ;o)

Anyway, I better get goin. I got a lot of blog readin to catch up on from the weekend. ;o) Have a wonderful hump day!!!!!! :oD

Update: I also joined a new webring for blogspot users, and you should check it out, if ya got the time. ;o) It's down on the bottom of the page, as well as my other two rings.

Uninspired today

My nephew is watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas. I know, it's not even close to that time of year, but he wanted to, and I really don't care if he watches it; it's about 1/2 hour, and we gotta leave soon anyway, so it all works out.

Anyway, I had a good weekend. Nothing really exciting, tho. Last night, I was feeling weird, like, disappointed, for some reason. I dunno why. It confused me so much, since I thought I was having a good day. Maybe I was just disappointed since it was a Sunday night, and I wouldn't see Josh for a few days. I dunno. Maybe it was just cuz we didn't have sex. ;o) That might be it too.

Ah well, I have to get goin. Sorry for the short post today; I said I was uninspired. Have a great Monday; what's left of it!! :oD

Beginning tomorrow, I think I'll post the quote as the title most days, unless there's some title that would suit the post better. I dunno. Rose does that with song quotes, and I don't wanna steal her idea, but some days I think the quote would be a better title, even though most of the quotes are just random. Anyway, just thinkin out loud. I'm really done now. Really. Go. I'm serious, go now! GO! :)

People: Learn to drive!!!!

What is it with people's driving today? Is everyone just being stupid, or does the cloudiness affect their driving? I got so pissed out there today. Okay: 1) Do not do favors!!! Especially at a 4 way stop, where doing that is probably the worst place, and causes near accidents. 2)When 2 kids are walking down the street (no sidewalk), and the car on their side of the road (going the opposite way of the kids; facing them) stops, don't slow down to a crawl so the other driver has to wait twice as long to pass the kids, not to mention, the kids pass the damn car waiting faster than the car passes them that way. 3) Under no circumstance, do not ever pull out in front of someone, so the other person has to practically stop, and then turn a 1/4 mile down the road from where you originally pulled out, especially if there is no one behind the car you pulled out in front of, and when you don't even use your fucking turn siganls! 4) Use your turn signals!!!! It stops confusion and accidents, most of the time. But that last one is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Ugh, now that I have that out of my system, you can tell I had a wonderful little trip to CVS earlier. I hate driving on days like these. Most days, a short little trip like that won't cause me to run into all the dumbasses that could possibly be on the road, but I think I found most of those in B-town this afternoon. Maybe that's what's causing my bad mood today. I wouldn't doubt it. ;o)

I tried to find a cheap eyebrow brush, but I couldn't find it at either CVS, and I wasn't gonna drive all over the damn place today with the luck of driving I've had all freaking day, so I didn't get what I needed. I plan to buy a whole set of makeup brushes from MK very, very soon, but I was hoping I could find a cheap one til then. My other one broke, my guess, en route to my grandmother's some time this or last week. So, I just have to do without my eyebrow brush for a bit. No big deal. Just brushing my eyebrows up so they're polished looking with my finger isn't gonna cut it for long.

Friday Five...

I decided to give in and do a Friday Five list for ya guys.

1. What time do you wake up on weekday mornings? Usually between 7 and 8 am, although I haven't been too good with that lately.

2. Do you sleep in on the weekends? How late? Not much; like maybe an hour extra, but then, I don't have to get up real early during the week.

3. Aside from waking up, what is the first thing you do in the morning? Go pee, get my cereal, and exercise or take my shower.

4. How long does it take to get ready for your day? Uhhmmm....1-2 hrs?? I guess that's about right.

5. When possible, what is your favorite place to go for breakfast? The Grill Shop!!!!!!!!! The bestest place in my area to eat breakfast or lunch. Unfortunately, they're not open for dinner, and it's also very fattening.

Well now that's done. Let's see, I picked my check up this morning, and I felt a little bad, since I had stopped to talk to Karen, and had to get going before I could really have a small convo with Jodi. I think I was being a bit rude, and I just feel really bad about that. She looked like she was crying or something earlier, and I think that's why I feel so bad. I guess I'll just call her later or something. I dunno.

This guy on Ambush Makeover (on FOX) is really fucking annoying. I think maybe it's his nasely voice. It's just irritating. I dunno why I even left this show on anyway. It's just a big ripoff of Fashion Emergency, and A Makeover Story, even.

I'm in a crappy frame of mind now. I hadn't even realized how negative I was being until I re-read what I just wrote. I think it's the weather. My post is also a bit boring. I have to go to CVS and the bank, so maybe something interesting worth telling you all about might happen. Who knows? I just hope I'm in a better mood by tonight.

TTFN!! :oD
