I'm old. Yesterday started off kinda crappy with the rain waking me up at 9am so I didn't get to sleep in like I had wanted too. I was kinda sad 'cause I'm a year older and don't feel like I've done anything with my life. Haven't finished college (I graduated high school 10 years ago), not married, no kids, broke out my ass. So I called my dad in Chicago at like 8:30am his time and he made me feel a little better and then I called my brother and he made me laugh like he always does. He also let me borrow Old School for a week so I can laugh my ass off everytime Will Ferrell yells "We're going Streaking! C'mon! Everyone's doing!"
George and Kacie came over about 12:30 in the afternoon to deliver some cards and presents (thanks for the "Go Diva" chocolates Kacie!) and then Jim, Kacie and I were off to Perkins for some lunch. ("Would you like some beverwedge?" lol) Off to BJ'S to buy me a cheesecake instead of the norm birthday cake and then back to our house where Jim kicked our asses for the first time in Canasta. (Good job hun!) Laughter the entire time which greatly improved my mood ("I wanna dip my BALLS in it!"). Then to Kacie's house for some Preseason football in High-Definition TV. Now this is the interesting part. My best friend, Nocian, had to work until about 6pm yesterday so I wasn't expecting her to do a whole lot for me, which is fine. Everyone is broke this year unlike last year where everyone had money. That's cool..I understand. I call Nocian and tell her we are going to Kacie's house to watch some football and I want her to come over. The entire time on the phone, she's yelling at the kids and never wishes me a happy birthday. Fine. She's got her hands full with the kids...I'm gonna see her later.
So she comes over to Kacie's and I talk to her about my birthday and stuff and we watch football and the four of us joke around and play catchphrase...just hangin' out and having fun. Nocian left about 10:30pm and never once wished me a happy birthday. Didn't even acknowledge it. I wasn't expecting a present or even a card but she's supposedly my best friend. She could have given me a hug and said happy birthday. It doesn't cost anything. So that was kinda sad and upsetting but what can I do? Ever since we got back from camping she's been kinda distant and doesn't want to do anything with me except for thursdays when we have girls night. Maybe I pissed her off just as much as she pissed me off during camping. I'll probably never know 'cause neither one of us likes confrontations. Maybe that's a problem. Hmm.
Anyway, over all I had a pretty good birthday thanks to my brother, Kacie and Jim. Thanks guys.
The only thing I've never liked about my birthday is that it means that summer is ending and school is starting. Actually, some colleges started school yesterday. Sorry guys...but just think...you're that much closer to be doing done with it. Later.

Jenny Turpish Slapped Me: Quizzes - Better Relationship
Jenny Turpish Slapped Me: Quizzes - Better Relationship
well, since everyone else is doing the whole quiz thing, here's my quiz results. Enjoy!
eXpressive: 7/10
Practical: 4/10
Physical: 7/10
Giver: 6/10
You are a XSYG--Expressive Sentimental Physical Giver. This makes you a Sex Bomb.
You are sexy sex sex sex! The sexness! You are the sexiest, hottest and most charismatic of all types. You are a captivating speaker and a great dinner date -- relaxed, self-effacing, charming and generous. Your type probably has origins in something sad -- trying to keep the peace in a tough family situation, or an early heartbreak -- and you'll probably want to address and resolve that at some point, but in your relationships that heartache is pure gold!
You lie effortlessly -- not necessarily a bad thing. You can have problems with fidelity. You need frequent praise and validation, and in seeking it you can make decisions that aren't consistent with your general good judgment. In other words, don't cheat on your significant other just because someone is paying attention to you.
You strongly dislike conflict, and will avoid it. Like an XPYG, you give so much of yourself to your partner that you feel dismissed and unappreciated if you don't get the same in return. But you internalize your feelings more and have a hard time getting over them. You don't *want* to cheat -- you just keep finding yourself in vulnerable situations. But you'll stay with your partner in the long run from guilt and a desire to please.
Your sex life will always be hot. You are one of the rare people who can keep the fires of passion going forever -- if you find a good match. Find another XSYG and you will never need (or want) anyone else again.
Of the 23605 people who have taken this quiz, 9.1 % are this type.

Good lord I'm tired of working. I've been working non-stop basically since Friday morning and only one more day til my day off. There are some aspects of my job that I actually do like but for the most part, I'm over it. I'm working 46 hours this week which is good 'cause I need the money but almost every time I work a lot, I end up getting sick 'cause I don't get any rest. Plus, since I have to get up at 4:30am, by the time I get home I just crash. I don't do anything around the house which isn't fair to Jim and by the time he gets home at 9pm, I'm so freakin' miserably that I'm yelling at him 'cause he took my lighter. Like huge senate hearings about a lighter. Oh lord please let this week end.
There seems to be a lot of August babies (including me on the 30th!) so Happy Birthday to everyone who turns a year older this month. Oh and just in case I don't get a chance to next month, happy birthday to kacie as well. I'm sure I will but you know...I could be working this crap again that week. love ya.
I'm pretty sure there's more stuff that has happened this week but at the moment my brain is on shutdown mode. later.

random thoughts
I love our new dog. I just wish she would stop howling when we leave her by herself. When she does it in the middle of the afternoon, it's pretty much okay since our neighbors are at work but when she does it on the weekend at 8am it's pretty worrisome. No one has complained yet but I'm still worried.
Picked up my dad and stepbrother from Amtrak station today. My dad drove a friend's car to Salt Lake City last monday and they took the train back. Since they are moving next Tuesday I didn't mind getting up at 7:30am this morning. My brother came with me and when we dropped them off my dad gave us $ to go get breakfast. We tried going to Old Country Buffet but they didn't open 'til 11 so we ended up at Denny's, which was surprisingly good. After a good conversation with my brother about relationships I went home to go back to sleep. Jim came home from school and crawled back into bed with me. Yay! No people, get your mind out of the gutter. We slept and it was great. We both had the day off. Good times! When we finally decided to wake up at 1:30pm we (I) decided we needed to do some laundry. Just as we were about to walk out the door to the laundromat, BJ's called asking if I wanted to get some extra hours tonight.
Now, I love Sharon (personel manager) but I don't love BJ'S. And I definitely wasn't about to go in on my day off when Jim had the day off too. We get a day off together once in a blue moon and I wasn't about to give it up even for the extra money. So I sadly said no I couldn't work with a smile on my face and went off to spend the day with my boy.
I know you don't want to know about the laundromat 'cause it's boring. So I won't bore you. I will however tell you about the dead bird. We had to stop at my dad's house again on the way to do laundry 'cause I had to fax my timesheets for The Health Association. We were leaving after about a 10 minute visit when Jim noticed a dead bird in the grill of my dad's new van. Now I don't know how you miss a bird flying into your car but somehow either my stepmother or father didn't know about it. After feeling a bit sad for the dead bird but laughing 'cause they just didn't know about it, I went back to their apartment and told MaryJane (stepmother). She came out, inspected it and she and I watched as Jim pryed the poor thing out of the grill. It was quite disgusting and even more so as we watched all the flies and bees fly off it as it fell to the ground. Once of the maintenance guys drove by while this was going on and luckily he had a garbage bag and took care of it for us.
About 5pm George (brother) and Chandler (niece) came over to play with Abby (dog) and Chandler proceeded to tell the dog that she didn't want to be licked. Unfortunately little girl, that's what dogs do. We showed her some pictures of her great-grandparents and of her grandma (my mom) that died when she was just 3 years old. She recognizes her in pictures but she doesn't really remember her wish is a bit bittersweet. She doesn't have to feel the pain of remembering every little quirk my mom had but at the same time she never really got to realize how great a person my mom was. "sigh" But she does love her Papa (my dad) and enjoys spending time with him. At least she has the pictures of her.
After they left Jim and I did that thing that I told you to get your mind out of the gutter about. :) Sorry. And now he is currently watching pre-season football which is so boring but whatever. I love him so I'll let him do what he wants for today. I got bit by something and I keep scratching at it and now I have two lines going up my arm...is that a good thing? I don't know but I'm pretty damn content right now. If I was a cat I would be purring. Later.
