Promises

So here are my "resolutions" for next year:

• I will update this at least once a week
• I will post about Christmas and put pictures up within the next week
• I will try to get more sleep
• I will not blow up at people that need to be blown up at.
• I will not make any resolutions that I can't keep

Which makes this list null and void.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!

Year in Review

Taken from Klorra420

Search your Archive and find the first entry for each month of 2005. Post the first line of it in your journal, and that's your 'Year In Review'.

January:I hope everyone had a safe and happy new years!

February: I received this yesterday from my grandmother in Chicago.

March: I hate the fact that I don't have money and that it's not going to improve in the near future so I've decided to go back to school.

April: So I told a couple of people yesterday that I was gonna post this picture that is now over 10 years old.

May: Update: I didn't make it clear about the questions.

June: So here's a little random update in no particular order:

July: So I'm finally back online.

August: Your birthday on the 30th day of the month shows individual self-expression is necessary for your happiness.

September: You say "Wanna go with?" when you mean "Do you want to come with me?"

October: I just found out that this week is Mental Health Awareness Week.

November: I'm miserable.

December: If I wasn't so damn tired from this damn new job that I sorta, kinda, don't really know what I'm doing, I would probably talk all about how I got one day of training and then was sent off and told to do it.

"I'll take the zero!"

If I wasn't so damn tired from this damn new job that I sorta, kinda, don't really know what I'm doing, I would probably talk all about how I got one day of training and then was sent off and told to do it. That one day of training probably would have been enough if my new immediate manager wasn't the manager on duty that day and she could have explained things as we went. But I forget that it's the BJ'S way to just drop someone in a new position and lo and behold, you're just supposed to be able to do something that you've never done in your entire life. I kinda know the gist of it, but there are somethings that I just completely have no idea what the f**k I'm doing so I pretend that I'm bullshitting my way through and honestly, I don't even think I'm pulling that off. Oh and plus, not only do I have the stuff I have to do for this new job but they've added two new things that I have to do that the old person never had to do. And they wonder why I can't get any of my paperwork done or counts finished.

Luckily it is only the first week so it should get easier, right? RIGHT? Oh dear god, please make me not regret taking this job.

I think for the first time in a year, I actually miss the frontline. But that's probably just because I'm my own person and really don't have anyone to talk to like I used to on the frontline. Am I babbling? 'Cause it feels like I'm babbling. Maybe I should go take a nap. Maybe I should just start going to bed earlier. But I already go to bed at 9pm. I should just put a cot in my office and sleep there. It'll be easier than having to drive in the snow at 5:30am and then I could actually maybe get some stuff done before 9am for once. Yeah that's it. I'm so there.

Your Pimp Name Is...

Brown Sugar Trickz

What's Your Pimp Name?

Hey guys, what's up?

Has this holiday season been enjoyable so far or are you all ready to say "Bah Humbug!"? My life feels like it is in overdrive but then when I go to post about it I'm all like "That's it? Why am I so stressed? Nothing is happening in my life!" It's all very weird to just stop and go "You know, it's not all that bad."

Anyway, here's what's going on in Bunzol's life:

Thanksgiving came and went and with came turkey, family, friends, and snow. Nocian cooked the turkey for the first time ever and I think she did a pretty good job. Take a look.




Yum! We all ate good. Jim ate twice between Nocian's house and his parent's house. My brother and niece came over and my godson's were there too. All in all, it was a pretty relaxing day considering all the cooking Nocian and I had to do.

The next day Nocian and I decided to go shopping. AT. 4. IN. THE. MORNING. BECAUSE. WE. ARE. INSANE! We were at the Greece K-mart at 5:45am waiting for the doors to open. In the snow and cold mind you. We must love our families...alot! After two stores and 2 1/2 hours later, our shopping was done. And I mean, for me, it was done. Every child I had to buy for that I was freaking out about, will now have a present under our Christmas tree. Score Bunzol! Technically, my shopping is done 'cause all I said I was going to buy for was for kids. But now I can start to buy for adults and not feel guilty. If you end up getting a present from me this year, feel honored 'cause I probably couldn't afford it. :)

So there is some big news going on at work. Our LP manager is going to a new club to become an assistant manager which means there is a new position open at our club. No I'm not applying for it. But I like to see changes and it's always exciting to get a new manager.

My dad and his family should be down to visit Dec. 23rd. Have I told you yet that I've invited like 14 people to my house for Christmas morning? Oh and 2 dogs? Well, it's looking more like 12 and 2 dogs but that's still a lot. I might have to go buy some wine pretty soon while I try to figure out where all these people are going to sit and eat.

Jim and I are fighting again. He just really knows how to piss me off sometimes just by breathing. Or maybe it's just because I'm getting my period this week. What do you think?

So my Christmas tree and stocking is all up and ready to go. Our front room looks a bit like a dorm room 'cause I went a little crazy hanging lights but I like it. Nocian and Joey came over to help but being the 5 year old he is, he got bored quickly. I think he ended up playing with Jim's old matchbox cars while Nocian and I finished decorating. But it was fun and something to do on a cold evening. Wanna see a pic of the $20 tree from Big Lots?




It's kinda dark but you get the idea. Well, that's all for now. Hope everyone is enjoying the season.

Oh Allee, come back to work please. You don't really want to work with all those cute kids do you? You want to come back and get screamed at because we don't have XBOX 360 and we never will. Don't cha? Please??

Later.

I'm over the holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i need to update this more often

Ever go through life and things happen and you go "I'm so writing about this in my blog!" and then you never do? Well, I constantly say that every day and yet I never ever write about anything. So here's what I always say I'm gonna talk about and then never do. And mind you, some of this is kinda dull, some funny, and some you probably really don't care about.

• Kacie and I found a "new" clothing store called Avenue in South Town Plaza. They carry big girl sizes and that makes me happy. They sell jeans for cheaper than Lane Bryant. They sell Jessica Simpson jeans for $60! Compared to the designer jeans at Lane Bryant for double that amount. They sell shoes! In my size! They even go up to size 30/32! Thankfully I'm not that size but it's nice to have options. That store made me happy for like three days straight. I think I told everyone and now I'm telling you.
• I went to the dollar theatre the other day with Kacie to see Wedding Crashers. It was good. It was funny. We sat in the back row...near the garbage cans. It was even funnier when an old man got up and went to these garbage cans and proceeded to PEE in the garbage can while still turned to watch the movie screen. Something is seriously wrong with me 'cause I just laughed my ass off at it while Kacie was shaking from being scared. It was hysterical. I don't really know why. Maybe it was because it was an old man and he probably had dementia. Don't know. I do know that if it had been teenagers I wouldn't have laughed. I probably would have been pissed off and went and told an employee. But I didn't and I still think it funny.
  
• My brother moved down the street from me about 2 weeks ago. I think it's awesome because now I can walk to his house. I can save gas. He can save gas. It's way more easier to bug him now. Especially if I need a ride some where if my car breaks down. He's only a minute away from me. Cool.
• Until mid-December I am working in DDR which is just another term for getting rid of all the damages that people return. I am having to wake up at 5am. I get home by 1:30pm though. That makes me happy. What doesn't make me happy is having to go to bed by9pm and missing all of my 4 shows that I watch a week. But dear god, it is so much nicer than having to deal with trials and assholes.
• The gas station opened up this week. That makes me happy. Especially since gas is 5 cents cheaper than Delta Sonic. That really makes me happy.
• Jim and I are getting along great. I don't understand it and I don't know what's different but I'm loving every minute of it. Hopefully this bliss will last for a looooong time.
• For the past month we have had (hopefully only) a mouse in the house. We found the hole where it came in and tried putting down mouse traps with peanut butter on them. The first Abby set off the very next morning trying to get the peanut butter. She proceeded to send crashing a whole tower of cd's. And then about 5 days later, I noticed that the peanut butter on the other one was missing. It's behind a book case so the dog couldn't have gotten it but there was still no dead mouse. The damn thing is way smarter than Jim. So we decided to get glue traps. That didn't work. We found mouse prints in the glue but no mouse. All hope was gone. I was getting ready to settle in for a nice long winter with Mickey but dum da da dum! Abby to the rescue! I'm on the phone with my dad about 3 days ago (hey, the same night the guy pee'd in the garbage, cool) and I hear the dog hitting something with her paw. I turn around and she's playing with something on the floor near the couch. So I get up and low and behold, there's the mouse. Laying there. Dead. Hooray! Abby killed the mouse. I got back on the phone with my dad and start giving my doggie kisses and everything is great. I get off the phone with my dad and walk over to the mouse trying to figure out if I want to leave the carcass for Jim or if I want to be bold enough to pick it up and through it out when the damn thing TWITCHED. Of course, I jumped back and was amazed as this damn mouse decided to stop playing dead and decide to roll on its back towards the kitchen. The dog damaged it enough that it couldn't walk so it just rolled around like a gimp. It was kinda funny but then I got worried that it was going to get to its hole so I grabbed the broom and rolled it's mousey ass out in to the backyard. And left its rodent ass out there where it finally died and Jim was able to dispose of it. Now just so you know, that mouse died from hypothermia. My dog is not a murderer. (It was really cold that day. But there was a mouse in my house and I do not live with Dr. Seuss. Does any of this make any sense 'cause I feel like I'm babbling because it's way past my bedtime. Dear god, I need sleep. But let's continue shall we?)

So yeah, interesting huh? Or not. Either way, life is weird. But good. And scary.

Later.

stream of consciousness

I'm miserable. Don't know why. Keep crying at the drop of a dime. Don't really want to socialize. And I thought Jim had a social problem. Ugh. Why am I awake? I have to get up in 7 hours which isn't all that bad except that I need 12 hours just to function. My brain won't stop racing. Why is my thigh so damn itchy? Cold weather and very dry skin are on its way.

I have no money for Christmas. I'm not buying for adults this year; only kids. I don't even have money for that. I'm screwed. Does Santa leave IOU's? Or little notes saying "Sorrying I didn't leave anything for you...the elves went on strike. But all my bills are paid." Why does Christmas have to be next month? I'm boycotting Christmas.

It's Halloween time!

Like my pumpkin? I haven't carved a pumpkin in years. It was actually a lot of fun. Happy birthday to Chandler (today) and Nocian (Saturday).

A Message by George Carlin

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete. Remember spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all 'mean it'. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. George Carlin

I just found out that this week is Mental Health Awareness Week. Is that a good enough reason to call in to work everyday for the rest of the week? Yeah. That's what I thought too.

"This shit is bananas"

Life is weird. I'm no closer to knowing what I want to do with the rest of my life then I did when I was eight years old. Sucky.

Anyways. I'm pretty much over all drama. Don't want to be a part of it anymore. It's not fun. I don't get a kick out of it. I like when life is normal and laid back and I don't have to worry about who did what to who when where and how.

One day I'm going to post the list that Stephanie and I made "You know you work at BJ'S when..."

I've pretty much figured out that the next couple of weeks I'm going to be broke 'cause I wasn't planning on getting sick and having to spend money on prescriptions and gas to get the prescription.

I've also pretty much figured out that I'm not liking this whole being responsible and paying bills on time. The adult responsibility of paying bills on time just doesn't measure up to the whole spending my hard earned money any way I see fit. The thrill just isn't the same.

Here's a recent conversation from this past Sunday with Jim:

J: What's today's date?
K: The 25th...(realization dawns) today's our anniversary.
J: Oh...happy anniversary.
K: Yeah you too.
And back to reading the newspaper we went.

Congratulations to little Sean Schaefer becoming an FLS. About damn time!

Glad I haven't pissed anyone off by walking by them. Then again, I never really cared in the first place.

Off to babysit the sick godson before work.

Later.

Since you've been gone...

Mozelle Bunzol, originally uploaded by toriandme.

Here are some of the things you've missed since you've been gone the past 4 years...

-your daughter moving to Virginia for 9 months and then moving back

-taking Cheyenne, Frisky, and Stripes to Lollipop Farm

-adopting Abby and Frasier from Scottsville Veterinary Hospital

-your granddaughter starting school

-Martha Stewart going to jail for insider trading

-Michael Jackson being acquitted of kidnapping and sexual molestation

-the tsunami and hurricane katrina that killed thousands

-the election of a moron for our country ...again

-the repossession of all of the Bunzol's cars..dad first, George second, me third

-the birth of Jim's nephew Evan

-the many fights and make-ups of your son and daughter's significant others

-three job interviews that I applied for that I didn't get

-the friends I've made and the friend's I've lost

-the start of the new tv show "Desperate Housewives" ...you would have loved it

There is so much more that you have missed that it would be impossible to list it all. Just now that George, Dad, Chandler and I all miss you very much. Your friends from church always come up to me at work and tell me how much your still touching their lives even though you've been gone for so long. Everyone here on earth still loves and misses you.

Bye, Mommy

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Chicago.

Thanks everyone for all the great birthday wishes! Thanks for dinner Kacie! I had a good time and work wasn't all that bad after all...but thank god I'm off again until Friday night!

Sunday conversations Wholesale Style

me: The person in the lower office is covering a break so you can't get your register until she comes back.
New cashier: How do I get my register?
me: When lower office comes back from covering the front door you can get your register.
New cashier: Where is the person from the lower office?
me (speaking very slowly at this point): She's at the front door but you can do reshops until she comes back.

I turn around to grab the cart from behind the service desk and I turn around and NC is walking down to the front door. According to the girl from the LO, NC asked her if she could get her a register.

I hate when we hire manager's friends. They are slooooooowwww. Like the managers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chinese woman walkes up to Al...

CW:They no find my card. Say it expired and have to pay but I have new card and they can't find it. What wrong with my card?
Al silent while trying to decode woman's accent.
CW: They make pay for new card but old one expired and friends card good.
Al: If you are under your friends membership you should be find then.
Al types in the woman's membership number and tells her that yes her card is still good.
CW: Why tell me it no good? They find then not find and say it wrong but under the seat of my car.
Al: Your card is fine for the next year.
At this point Al runs off to break (which I don't blame her) and CW proceeds to the service desk and goes through the whole conversation with me again!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Al: I hurt my hand...alot.
Me: How did you do that?
Al: I hit my closet.
Me: I'm sorry....lets get a cake.
Al: Okay.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wendy, Al, Robert and I are all standing at the podium. Robert starts gossiping...like normal.

Me: Robert, you're gossiping.
Robert: No, I'm not. I'm telling you what happened.
Me: Isn't that gossiping?
Robert: Not if I'm telling you the facts.
Me: But if it isn't about us and about another cashier and how she's in need of an attitude adjustment and how you aren't gonna take it anymore and she's not here to defend herself, isn't that gossip?
Robert: Quiet, I'm telling a story.

This from a manager who tells us not to gossip every day.

Tip for all my fellow employees. When you're on the phone with a member, just keep hitting random numbers on the keypad while they are talking. They won't notice and you get to entertain your self. It's especially fun if they are old and can't hear and keep talking about going to Massachusetts.

Hello everyone. Sorry it's been so long since I've actually posted anything. It's been a long summer already. June and July pretty much sucked since my car got repossessed and I had no way of going anywhere. I hated trying to find rides to work every week and sometimes having to take a cab 'cause no one could take me. But I have a new car (new to me anyway) and although it's a stick, I'm getting better at it.

So anyone that was following me not smoking...you can stop. I started again the day my car got repossessed. But I did go 17 days without a smoke and I plan on stopping again in time for my birthday (August 30th). Luckily my best friend has also quit so that will make it a little easier since I'm at her house three times a week.

I went to the doctor's today for a mental health checkup. I'm doing fine so he decided to raise my dosage. Is something wrong with that sentence? I figured if I was doing good on it, it would stay the same. Guess he knows something I don't. I also found out that since the last time I was there (June 14), I lost 9 lbs. Go me! I should have know since I was able to fit into my thin shorts yesterday. It's the best news I've had all week.

So I have a new car.

It makes me happy. Except for that whole fuel pump not working the day I picked it up and sitting at some random gas station in Leroy for three hours while Jim, Kacie and I tried to figure out what to do. Thank god for AAA. That guy got my car working by banging on the gas tank! Drove it all the way home and took it out for errands the next day with my upstairs neighbor and don't you know it wouldn't start again. So after freaking out 'cause I had to go to work still and I was stuck in Tops parking lot with a guy who is braindead from smoking too much weed, I call Colleen and she comes out and I get under my car and bang on the gas tank. Hooray! It starts! I drive it home and the damn thing won't turn on again. To make a long story short, I needed a new fuel pump. A $200 fuel pump. A $200 fuel pump that I didn't have money for. Jim was fabulous enough to charge my fuel pump to his credit card and the next day Orlando came over and got it installed and running for me. Except for the three large gas stains on my driveway, you'd never know anything was wrong with it. Oh...except for the large oil stains that mysteriously appeared a week after the fuel pump got fixed. That was fun. That's called my front valve cover gasket was broken and I was leaking oil. So once again Orlando came out and fixed that. Luckily that was only $30 or else I would have just crashed the damn car and asked for the insurance. But lo and behold, that was easy to fix. Within an hour, he had fixed the leak and did an oil change. As much as I think Orlando is horrible for Jen and not a good father figure, he sure knows what he's doing with cars. Hopefully nothing else will go wrong with it for awhile.

So Jim and I are...still sleeping in the same bed. We don't know what we are. We can't decide if we want to still live together and get a 2 bedroom or if we want to live by ourselves. It changes everyday. We are really both lost right now (relationship wise I mean) and every day it changes. Neither one of us really is looking towards the future anymore. The furthest I can see is Friday and Saturday 'cause I know I have to work. Other than that, neither of us knows if this is gonna work out for the better or if we are going to go our seperate ways. We just don't know.

Well, it's off to do some errands. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

Later.

my new to me car

my new to me car, originally uploaded by toriandme.

So here's my new car that I've been having headaches with. Starting with the title to now needing new brakes, it's been a headache. But at least I finally have a car that I can drive and no car payments on it. I'm just glad I know someone who can do the work it needs for almost free. Later.

Took long enough part 2

ATTENTION LADIES AND GENTLEMAN: Bunzol has a car again! Repeat...Bunzol has a car again. Details to follow when she can stop jumping up and down and singing.

Later.

Took long enough

So I'm finally back online. Tom came over last night and spent three hours installing a new hard drive and new operating system and getting everything to work the right way again. I was seriously going crazy in this house without the internet. Between not having a car, cable or the internet, I was reading a lot of books. And taking Abby on a lot of walks with Kacie. I'm hoping that since I have the 'net again I will update a lot more. Sadly, I have to go get ready for work. Later.

Happy Birthday Glaser!
Happy Belated Birthday Joey!
Happy Birthday mom!

My shitty life

In no particular order, here is the shit that is going on in my life and if any of this comes to you as a shock...well, it's all been a shock for me too.

My car got repo'd about two weeks ago. At this moment, I don't even care. But when it happened I was hysterical and a mess. The good news is that I already have a new car. The bad news is that I can't drive it because there was a problem with the title and I'm waiting for a new one so I can register it.

I still have no computer which means I'm still having to use the library to do anything remotely resembling the 21st century.

I'm still stuck at BJ'S. I got my nice little rejection letter from Paychex the other day so there goes any chance of getting extra money. But all of a sudden BJ'S is scheduling me over 40hours a week. Too bad they couldn't have done that back when I had a car to pay for.

Jim and I are breaking up. He wants to live alone so he plans on moving out mid-August. Do I want him to? No. Is there anything I can do about it? No. Do I have any idea what I'm going to do? No. But I'll figure something out like always.

My life is chaotic. And this has probably been the worst year for me since my mom died. Sucky.

Later.

quick updates

• We arrived in Chicago 5 hours late.
• We arrived back in Rochester 2 hours late.
• We spent a total of 53.5 hours in Chicago (including sleep time)
• I don't have to be back to work until tomorrow at 4pm.
• Our computer crashed again so I'm updating from the library.
• I think I need to take a bat to that computer and put myself out of my misery.
• Hopefully I will be able to upload pictures from vacation on to this stupid thing within the next couple of weeks.
• I have to pee so that's all folk's.

Later.

So pissed off

So I just hung up on my brother because he told me tonight that he wouldn't be able to

1. take me and Jim to the train station on Thursday
2. stay at our house to take care of the dog

this is after he said he would do this for the past 2-3 months. I really don't like him anymore. So now we have to leave one of our cars at the train station for 4 days which really isn't in a good neighborhood and we have to have our upstairs neighbor take care of Abby even though he can't take care of himself to begin with. I'm really pissed off right now and I want to scream! The good news is that normally under these circumstances I would want to smoke. I so don't want one, although I do want to drink. I can't win.

Stressed but still good

So here's a little random update in no particular order:

• Today is day 4 of no smoking. Why did I quit all of a sudden? Well, the doctor told me to or else she wasn't gonna give me my prescription. So instead of smoking and getting pregnant, I decided to stop smoking and not be pregnant. Make sense? Anyway, this is day 4 of no smoking (I am using the patch though) and except for about 4 major cravings (most of them yesterday while fighting with Jim) I've been okay.
  
• I leave for Chicago in 9 days! With all the fighting that me and Jim are doing it would be really nice to leave him in Rochester but maybe this "vacation" will make things better. Anyways, I'm excited to be going and seeing my family and the sights. It's been about 6 years since I was there last.
  
• Our next door neighbor moved out over the holiday weekend. They gave us a brand new futon (go us!) and some really shitty new neighbors who were outside our bedroom window this morning talking extremely loud at 5:30am. We've been wanting to move for some time now and if this morning is the beginning of a pattern I think we will be.
• Kacie M. is moving back either today or tomorrow! I've missed her so much...days off just haven't been the same without. Maybe we can get our Canasta night going again! I'm so excited.
  
• My Navy friend, Nate, is coming to visit Jim and I this month. I don't think I've seen since we moved back from Virginia. He's leaving for the Persian Gulf in August and won't be back until March (hopefully...you never know what's gonna happen) so this is a good time to catch up on things.
• The money situation still sucks big ones and everything is a catch 22. I need to go back to school so that I can get a better job but I can't afford to go to school and I can't get any loans. I could try applying for new jobs but most places aren't starting out at what I make at BJ's or if they do, they don't have health insurance for 6 months and I need to have my health insurance first day. It's just really frustrating. But I've been having these dreams where one of the managers keeps telling me I was made a manager even though I don't want to be manager. Does that make any sense? Didn't think so. Update! I looked up promotion in a dream dictionary and this is what it says :If you dream of getting a job promotion, it is a warning to pay closer attention to your current responsibilities. I've been neglecting some responsibilities at home lately. I wonder if that's what it means.
  
• Jim is officially an "Uncle"! His sister had his new nephew on May 19th. His name is Evan William Scijag and he weighed 9lbs 12oz. and was 22 inches long. Babies run big on his mom's side so if I ever end up pregnant with his kid, I am so gonna have a cesarean. No natural for me! Do you guys even care? :)

So that's that. Hopefully I can stop being lazy and go do my errands that I should have done yesterday. Later.

Ever notice how a song tells your life at that exact moment?

"Every day is exactly the same" is mine.


I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
Then again
That might have been a dream

I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
And I just do what I'm betold
I really don't want
Them to come around

Oh no

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no Love here
And there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes
Yet I still pretend

I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you
Exactly
How it will end

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no Love here
And there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday I might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won’t look behind

I am still inside
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could've been any other way
But I just don't know
I don't know
What else I can do

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no Love here
And there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

- Nine Inch Nails

Q and A

Thanks everyone for your questions. I guess you are all waiting with bated breath for the answers aren't you? That's what I thought.

Where should I move to when I get back to Rachacha? - Kacie

Well Kac, I've pretty much decided you should move in with Jim and I 'cause let's face it, we have a lot of your furniture. You could sleep in your old recliner in the living room with Abby (she'll protect you from the morons that shoot off their guns on our street). And once you are moved in, we can go to Johnny Rockets once a week and bug my brother while he is working to get the discount. Doesn't it sound great? :P

hmm...Can you tell me why Kermit the frog is so green? - Anonymous ( I have a funny feeling I know who this is..hmm)

The reason Kermit is so green is because he's always in that swamp. He never leaves. He's down there day and night and the algae is just taking over his body. Kermit used to be a pig. That's why Miss Piggy is so in love with him. She sees past his deformed green body for the large round pink pig he used to be. The reason she gets so mad is because he won't ever leave his swamp! He refuses to see daylight and to have a life. Did that answer it for you? :)

Sarah has a lot of questions! Here they go:

1. If you had to choose which would it be love or money? I would choose love. My parents were married for 32 years and they never had a lot of money. Between raising two kids, moving to a different state away from family and friends, my mom's disabilities, and everything else that goes along with marriage, they survived. Look at all the people out there with millions of dollars that get divorced every three years. They might be rich in the wallet but poor in the heart. I'll take love any day of the week.

2. What is your favorite dance and would you be willing to do your favorite dance at work? After years of going to techno clubs, I've come to the conclusion that I don't any rhythm. I think I used to do the Roger rabbit or the cabbage patch when I was younger but now I think I look like Elaine from Seinfeld. And no I would not dance at work. Unless it was the dance of never having to go back to that hellhole. Then I would dance all the way to my car.

3. How many pets have you had in your life and what kind? I've pretty much always had the regular runs of the mill type of pet. I remember goldfish that just about everytime I brought them home they would die the next day. I remember a dog named Duffy who we had to put to sleep (I think) when I was 4 or 5 years old. I've had lots of cats. Alex, Midnight, Friskie, and Stripes...all gone now. And as for dogs, Cheyenne who was a collie; Fraiser who has some pointer in him (he lives out of state with my dad now); and my dog now Abby. I keep wanting to get a frog but I don't want to go out looking for insects. Too gross.

4. What one thing would you change about your childhood if you could? There is a bunch that I would have changed when I was a child but looking back on it, there really isn't anything I would change now because, all of it, good or bad, made me who I am today.

5. What in your opinion is the only way to achieve world peace? - Get rid of George Dubya!

And finally the man I copied this whole exercise from BJNippleboy:

1. Do you think people are born aggressive, or that it is a learned behavior? I think that for most people, it is a learned behavior. Most people don't grow up saying they want to hurt someone or kill someone when they get older. But at the same time, I think for some people, it is a part of them from the moment they are born.

2: Suppose you have an accident. You have a choice.... lose both your arms, or both your legs...pick one and explain why... Well, this is a hard one to decide I guess mainly because my mother lost both of hers and I know how hard it was for her. I would probably pick lost both legs 'cause I have to have my sense of touch. I would need to be able to pet my dog and hold my godsons, step-brothers and my niece. I would want to be able to touch my boyfriends face. Yeah..legs. I would lose the legs.

3. Your best friend dates a guy you TOLD them you had the hots for and was enthralled by...What do you say to that 'friend'? This was actually done to me by an old best friend in high school. I don't say anything to said "friend". The way I react is by revenge. I'm not gonna get into details because I know my dad or Mary Jane is reading this and I don't want to incriminate myself but if I had to say something it would probably be something along the lines of "You're a rotten bi**h and you're going to regret the day you stabbed me in the back...blah, blah, blah. Next question.

4. Highly ethical question: Capital punishment. Execute 9999 truly guilty persons, but...in the process. one innocent person gets executed... right or wrong? It depends. Do I know this innocent person? If I do then it's wrong. If I don't then it right. (Isn't that the American way?)

5. Finally... Great sex once a month, or mediocre sex once a week? (Checking to make sure the boyfriend is not in the room) Great sex once a month! Quality over quantity!

Well, I hope I answered everyone's questions. Later.

Ask me a question

Update: I didn't make it clear about the questions. Ask me anything you want to know about me and I'll answer you in the blog. Got it? Good. :)


So I'm copying Logan. If there is a question you want to ask me, fire away. I will try to answer them all. Anything you want to ask me you can. Leave it!

That's a good thing right?

So I found out today one of my credit cards that I owe $ to filed bankruptcy like two years ago. Glad I never paid them. Hopefully I'll never have to. I wish the other 4 cards would file bankruptcy.

It's still raining in my life

This week has just been more stress in my life. I have alot of money problems and since I moved back from Virginia I've just been ignoring them. Partly because I was just hoping they would go away and partly 'cause I was hoping I would get a better job than BJ's and be able to take care of it. But like everything else in my life that didn't happen. I didn't get a better job yet and the problems haven't gone away. And they came back in a big way this past week. I've pretty much decided that I'm not gonna go back to school like I had wanted to. Mainly cause I got turned down for the NY TAP grant. I can't afford to take out more school loans. I'm gonna be stuck at BJ'S for the rest of my life. And I don't want to be. It's just really depressing. It's gonna take me probably about 5 years to get completely out of debt with my credit cards. Probably longer to pay off what school loans I already have. I can't defer those forever. Maybe if the cost of living didn't keep going up maybe I could save a little here and there to go to school but just putting gas in my car is starting to take away from bills.

No. I'm not looking for a handout. Just telling the god-awful truth. This economy sucks and I don't see it getting any better. Especially with the monkey we have sitting in Washington. If I could buy a new car, I would buy a hybrid so that I could save money on gas but I can't even pay the $35 inspection for the crappy Kia I have now. I'm lucky I have a roof over my head and a great boyfriend who pays for everything (I pay majority of rent). One can only call their 'rents so many times to ask for money. It's not fair to them and frankly, I feel extremely guilty for it.

This post is turning into something I don't want it to turn in to. Later.

Weird dreams lately

So lately I've been having some really weird and vivid dreams. I've probably already told everyone about the dream I had a week ago where BJ'S Wholesale Club was under attack by robots. That was a fun one. All the employees were on the receiving dock and robots were literally attacking us. Shooting lasers at us and everything. Our one manager, T.C. , who walks really fast didn't know they were there nor did the robots know he was there. He's just walking around kinda like in the old pac-man game. I catch up to him and tell him that we are under attack and he says something like "I'm on top of it." and takes off. 5 seconds later he comes back and he gives everyone their paychecks and Amtrak tickets to get away from the robots. Which we do. I don't think I'm eating Gitsis cheeseburger plate at 11pm and then going right to bed every again 'cause that was just to weird a dream for me.

Another dream I had was that I had run out of gas in a city I've never been to and I couldn't find a gas station. Then I had one just last night that I was suffocating and couldn't get any air no matter how hard I tried and no one cared. They ignored me. I also had one last night where I killed some guy and tried to bury him outside my bedroom window.

I wonder what all these stupid dreams mean. My subconsciousness has got to be telling me something. Anyone have a say as to what they all mean?

In my life when it rains, it pours!

So this is going to be short and sweet (hopefully) since I'm posting this from the library. Last night, my computer crashed and burned. I've tried to recover it and it stills is making this horrible grinding noise and I basically am done with it. So until I can come up with about $600 (at least) to get a new computer I probably won't be updating very much if ever. I've got to get one soon though 'cause I do everything on the computer. Like my taxes, financial aid for school, pictures...it's all gone. Well, the pictures and all my writing and music. I can still access my other stuff online by going to the library but that's still gonna be a pain in the butt. Good thing it's spring outside and not winter.

I had sent an email out to people asking for their AOL screennames 'cause I lost them all but I've pretty much decided it's worthless since I can't use the computer anyway. What the heck am I gonna do for entertainment? I already don't leave the house because there's no money to leave it with. I already read books in 2 days. I guess I'll be going on long walks. Oh and if anyone wants to give up their hours at work, let me know.

Well, goodbye for now. Hopefully, it won't be for long.

guess who!

guess who!, originally uploaded by toriandme.

So I told a couple of people yesterday that I was gonna post this picture that is now over 10 years old. How fast time flys. Enjoy.

Why do I always make lists? Must be the Virgo in me

This is now the THIRD time I've tried to do this post. I've had blogger erase everything on me and then my damn computer crashed on me. I need a drink. The original post is now obsolete and since I don't know what's gonna happen, this is gonna be quick.

1. Love the new Nine Inch Nails song "The hand that feeds". I don't know if it's because it goes back to those rebellion days when I was a teen, in love with Trent Reznor and wanting to have his kids or if it's because it's really good. Don't care either way. I l-o-v-e it. Thanks Greg for finding it for me!
   
2. Got extra hours last night at work which is good 'cause once again I'm broke. When am I not?
3. My 'rents and stepbrothers are coming to visit for a week. They should be here on Friday. They are bringing Abby's boyfriend, Frasier, which should make for an interesting week at our house.
4. Can life get any better than quoting Napoleon Dynamite at work and members quoting with you? Well, actually, life would be better if I was quoting it with my friends at HOME but I'll take the small things.
5. Why the heck did it just snow for about 5 minutes?
6. Damn, this is turning into stream of consciousness post.
7. So today, I finally got a plan-o-gram for clothing which kinda sucks since I've been doing it for THREE MONTHS and tomorrow is, hopefully, my last day. (They finally hired someone! Call me Sisyphus no more!) Anyway, while I was basically destroying that department to make it they way home office wants it, Jim from meat department came up and told me that it was pretty stupid of home office because lets face it, we are moving to a new building in 5 months. Why bother? My point exactly but I just work there.
   
8. Seems like everyone has been taking that purity test lately. Glad to know there are people are there that are more pure than me. Scary to think who's less pure than me though.
9. Thank goodness Jim stops being on call tomorrow. One more sleepless night and I might just throw the pager out the window.
10. Don't really have anything to say here. Just wanted to make it an even 10. Gotta love me.
