Well, this was a very good weekend for me. I had 5 days off (including today) and I loved it!! I'm really very happy that I actually get to see Josh tonight for once after not seeing him at night for quite a few months. I know this isn't new, but I really hate second shift for that reason. And I noticed that even tho I'm happy at 10:30 at night when my shift is done, I don't really look forward to it as much as I did when I was on first shift. It's like, even if I try not to think about it, I end up spending at least an hour (or more than I'd like) thinking about work that next day. Sure, the days seem to fly by that way, but it sucks. And the jobs I keep seeing in the paper all suck since the ones I notice are either too far away for the amount being paid hourly, or they aren't for first shift. Gah. I'm really trying to find something else tho. I'm getting such a negative attitude about work, and tho I realize it's not all horrible, when I have time off like I just did, I notice how much of a morning person I am compared to anyone else, and that I like being able to relax more before I get into bed.

Anyway, how was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was very good. I enjoyed myself thoroughly. Josh's mom is a great cook, and it was just great!

I had to get a replacement battery for my phone. I have a kinda cheap, crappy phone (it's the cheapest one they offered with my plan), and I noticed in the paper a bit ago that Kyocera had issued a voluntary recall of certain batteries that were problematic, but I forgot all about it until I was on Verizon, and realized I had forgotten to check if my battery was one of those that were recalled. Well, I went and checked, and sure enough, mine was one of those, so I sent them a form filled out to get a replacement. I always have problems with mine now, like, it tells me I have a low battery after I've had the damn thing off nearly all day and I talk to Josh on it for about 10 minutes. And that just pisses me off. It didn't always do that. I'm hoping it won't with the new one. And hopefully it lasts until I get an upgrade to my next phone (which will be in about a year or so). *crossing fingers* So I'm looking forward to a new battery. Which sounds kinda sad.

Ah well, I better get goin. I didn't wanna spend all day here, and I've been here for about 2 1/2 hours (just to unclutter my email), so I think it's time to go. Have a wonderful week (if I don't get back on before Friday)!! :oD

...is that now the amount of comments has surpassed the amount of posts in this lil blog. I'd be happy if I knew it wasn't the comment spammers taking full advantage of the fact that I really don't care to use a comment spam blocker thingy. Grrrrrr....

I realized that I really need to call some of my friends. Hell, I haven't talked to Carol in months....I believe it'll be close to 5 or so months at the end of November. I haven't talked to a single friend of mine for the past few months, partly, well, really all because of second shift, and I need to get my lazy ass moving and talk to these people. I didn't have a huge amount of friends that I could keep in touch with, mainly because some moved without leaving behind any kind of way to keep in touch. All before I got myself a cell phone, of course. So right now, I can only think of a handful of people, and I do really need to get in touch with them. Maybe I can actually get ahold of a few of them too! Oh well.

Ah, I had a nice long 4 day weekend this past weekend. I was online on Monday, but had too much crap to do that I ended up having no extra time to blog. Happens a lot lately, eh? At least I can today. And it's not a short crappy one, either!! So for those who actually read this blog, and not just spam me incessantly with fake comments, that's great! :o)

Oh, I just remembered some news, altho if you don't know where my parents live or anything, it will mean absolutely nothing to you, but if you do know where, you're up for a big surprise. The road was actually repaved!!! That road has been full of pot-holes (no surprise there) for years and years, and all the township would do was fill in the old pot-holes, and let it go until it got bad again, and then add more to it, until it was just terrible...worse than an unpaved road. But it's actually been repaved just a few weeks ago!!! Well, most of it...they won't pave in front of my parents' house or the farm; all that is still dirt. But in all the years I've been alive, that road has looked like hell, and they finally fixed it. I'm just amazed by it, since I thought it was never gonna be fixed.

Damn I'm hungry. I brought my lunch with me to eat here, and then I was gonna get back to the apartment, but I forgot my multivitamin. So, I think I will heat up my mac and cheese, since there is a microwave here (don't got that at the apt), and just pack it up and get home, or just eat it here, and take my vitamin to work with me, hoping that I won't forget to take it. Knowing me, I will forget to take the damn thing. Oh well. Don't know why I'm thinking that hard about it in the first place.

Ah well, I better end this. Here's the link to my quotes blog, which, like this one, hasn't been updated regularly, but I'm still gonna try to update it every once in awhile: Love Teaches....

Well have a wonderful week and weekend, just in case I don't get back before then!!! :oD

I'm only on here for a few quick minutes, so I gotta make this short. I got my vactation days I wanted, so I only have 4 day weeks from now until the end of the year!!! :oD Anyway, I have this Friday and next Monday off, so I will most likely have some time to spend here, so there may be a lotta bloggin on those days!! I'm not completely sure what I'm gonna be doing those days, but I will try to get on for an hour or more just to catch up with some of my bloggin and my blog-reading.

Anyway, I'm drivin into work today so I can get there early enough to check out the book fair they're having, and I wanted to spend some time here tomorrow, so I may drive again, but it's still up in the air. I never plan my mornings too completely cause stuff tends to not go my way when I do. So, I'm not sure, but hopefully I can get back online tomorrow as well! Anyway, have a great day!! I'm off to the store to buy some cookie dough to make some cookies with the last bit of candy I have left. Yum. I already made some kick-ass banana nut bread this weekend, and now I'm gonna be making cookies this weekend. Doing this might not be a good idea, since I've been snackin on candy this past week, but if I exercise, I will be ok. Heh, who am I kidding? Even if I didn't exercise, I'd still be snackin on all that. I'm so weak. :oI Oh well. At least I'm not doin it all the time.

Alrighty, I must be off. Have a wonderful night, and hope to be back tomorrow!!! :oD

Know what I hate? When you have your lunch and are sitting there, still hungry but trying not to think about it, and maybe after a few minutes you'll start to feel full, but it doesn't happen, so you eat a little bit more, and that hunger still doesn't quite go away. Grrr.

Now I ate a bit too much; even tho I don't really feel too full, I know that was way too much to be eating at this time of day. Ah well. I will be buring that off, so I guess it's not a problem.

Just wasn't very healthy, that's all.

Sigh.

Just one month ago I was saying how amazed I was that it was already October. And now it's November!! I really gotta get started on that Christmas shopping soon.

All is going well lately. I love my car, and work isn't sucking that much....I just trimmed my hair a bit last night, so I'm loving my hair right now. :o) Hmmmm.....I'm in a really good mood for some reason this morning. Hopefully it'll last all day, but I can't be sure of that; work'll probably ruin that. But I finally got my week of vacation, and I have two months to use this week of vacation before I lose it, and then next year, I'll get those 5 days again, and I'll have 'em for the entire year. It only worked out that I can use these 5 days vacation in these 2 months because I've been at my job for a full year as of Oct 28, and they told me to use that week in these next two months. And hopefully they'll let me have the days I want off, and then I won't have to work a full 5 day week for the rest of the year the way I've planned it. ;o) I'm hopin I can do that. That'd be great!! :oD

I feel so much better than I have for a few days...the last half of the week last week I had a cold, and I still have the remains of it, but at least I don't feel like shit today. So that's always nice.

Hmmm...I wanted to post something quick today, since I had to clear out my inbox from all the damn comment spam I've been getting on here (I get an email everytime a new comment appears on this blog, and the fuckers are really goin to town with this spam). I can't think of much other news at the moment.

I just realized my birthday is in less than a month! Woo-hoo!! :o) That just gave me reason to be even happier! :oD

Anyway, I better get goin. I'm hopin to stop here tomorrow before work or something, so maybe I'll get time to post again. If not, have a great week, and I will be back sometime this week! :o)
