How can you glare when you're in a hot tub?!


Got all sunburned, but otherwise I had tons of fun. Family, Marilyn Manson concert, tough mudder, auto-show, stayed in a fancy shamancy hotel in the Dells with the whirlpool in it, yadda yadda yadda, vacation was great. I'm so sad to be back to work :( Oh well! Next vacation in July!

Going on vacation tomorrow. Spending all day Thursday with my family in minnesota, friday I'm going to see Marilyn Manson in minneapolis, saturday donny is doing tough mudder and I'm his spectator, then we're heading to the dells and going to an auto show and then gocarting and waterparking and such for a night, then we'll head back home to get back to work.

 

Got a new phone. Upgraded from the stupid blackberry I hated to the samsung mesmerize. Huge improvement!!!!!!!

 

Got a new car. I am now the proud owner of a 2007 nissan murano.

 

Work.work.work. I'm also in the process of eating better and getting on a better skin care regiment.

 

Love my jobs, love my apartment, love my cats, love my boyfriend. The end.

The brother is back in the 262 now. He bought lobster dinner for everyone to celebrate. x_x;

Getting a new car Friday, new cell phone tomorrow, new new new new. I LOVE my new job. Made $17/hr today. :)

Got the job at Sports Clips. I start on Sunday. I'm not sure how excited I am and that frightens me. I'm mostly just upset to be going back to working 50-70 hours a week. But I'll be okay, right?

I ran out of gas yesterday on my way to work :\ Sadly. But otherwise everything has been great. At least, as great as it was last time I posted. Donny is amazing and I'm so grateful to have him around. He rescued me and put gas in my car yesterday, after purchasing and changing the battery in my key-fob for my car the previous day, and bought me lunch. I need to do something VERY nice for that boy in the near future. Finally finished my taxes. Yeah, I know, I'm lazy. Shut up. I'm gonna be rich shortly!! :) Haha, sorta. There's some car drama going on but I don't feel like talking about it. The end. :)

Happy easter, dears! :) I'm making easter dinner tonight (Salmon, steak, potatoes, and veggies..mm..), I also made Donny a gigantic easter basket he knows nothing about yet ;) I'm soooooo sooo psyched for Summer fest this year. I'm definitely going to go see Awolnation again, except I'm going to wait the seven hours it takes for front row and center this time and make a crowd surfing sign ;) I know it's a lonnnggg shot, but he may recognize me from last year. We were front row last year, the only two REAL Awol fans that knew more than just "Sail", sang all the lyrics, ended up on the big screen above the concert, and he threw a towel onto my head at the end of the concert (which I got violently trampled for o.o ). Either way, I'm psyched. :)

Hmm.. let's see... the boy and I went to Chicago the 5th of last month. It was a ton of fun. :) I want to see the Jelly fish exhibit at the shed aquarium.. while we were there we decided to go to an open house because, why not??? It was for a 3,000 sq ft pent house on the 23rd floor of this particular building. It was beautiful and GIGANTIC. Also, the gigantic windows overlooked the city so you had an awesome view, plus a balcony so you can hover in a sea of sky scrapers. After we went through the open house instead of leaving I forced him (at gun point :p ) to go up to the top floor with me (there were 54 floors in this building!)... so he did... but to my disappointment there was not a single window!! WTF?!?! We did get to go into the stairwell and look down 54 flights though. It was ridiculous!!

Feb 12th: Called into work and spent the day hanging out with the boy and his friends in Milwaukee.

Feb. 18th: The boy, Jami, and I hit up the Milwaukee circus. It was pretty cool, but when they did the motorcycles-in-a-steel-cage thing one of the bikes clearly had something wrong with it and they had to stop 3 times, then on the 4th start they all collided at the top of the cage and fell to the bottom (bikes falling on top of them). Then they had to wheel the cage away and turn off all the lights. Paramedics came, ect. ect. They said everyone was okay, but at the end of the circus when everyone who participated came out only two of the three motorcyclists showed. He was obviously pretty hurt. :\

Feb 26th: Got fired for calling into work weeks earlier at Great Clips. Now collecting unemployment.

Marchh: Rissa moved out haven't seen her new place yet, but I will soon hopefully!! Made Donny dinner for his birthday on the 9th (he's still got another gift coming but that's a surprise ;) ). Finished the leftovers from Donny's dinner the next night with Jami and Seth and watched Human Centipede 2. NOT RECOMMENDED.

March 17th: Went to see MSI live in concert at The Rave. We pushed our way to the 2nd row and then defended our spot. It was great though, they put on an AWESOME show! I danced my ass off... and got caked in sweat. Not 100% sure if it was all mine either >.< At the concert I seem to have contracted a cold which in turn I have managed to give to just about everyone and I'm still sick!!! God damn it!! :(


March 24th: Red Lobster, then chilling with Kayla, Taylor, Chuck, Konman, and Donny in Taylor's garage.

March 25th: Went to see 21 Jumpstreet. It was actually really good, definitely recommended :)

Sally's messed up on my paycheck. Like.. MASSIVELY. I got paid $80 for 40 hrs. I'm going to be PISSSEEEDD if I have to wait until the next pay period to get this fixed.

So a few days ago Karissa moved in with me. She got kicked out of her grandparent's house, despite being on lease for a different place starting March and so I said "Hey, come use my extra bedroom until March! :D "... well, she's got a lot of stuff. So I told her she could use my storage unit. I go downstairs and my storage unit is being used already. And I mean MY storage unit. It's got my apartment number on it and they gave me a tour of it when I moved in and everything. But it's not like it's filled, there's like four garbage bags, two boxes, and a couple paintings in there and no lock... soo... I moved everything out, put Rissa's stuff in it, and put a lock on it. I mean, I'm renting that space, right? Okay, continuing (trying to tell this story in chronological order).. so her, the baby, her stuff, and Sky the kitty are all moved in. I'm notified by Karissa that she witnessed my youngest cat, Sgt. Pepper spraying on my wall! Stress level rising....


.... I get home and there's a knock on my door. Some chick is snapping because she was apparently informed she could use my storage unit. I explain to her that I was not informed of these events and I was only told that that was my space to use and any complaints she will have to take up with building management and I will gladly speak to them as well. So I call them once she stop bitching and leaves and they make a big deal about the fact that I haven't USED my storage unit for the last three months and I argue that them insisting they can give my storage unit away without consulting me that I'm on lease for and yadda yadda yadda on the basis that I haven't used it in the last 3 months is like them moving someone else into my extra bedroom because I don't have anything in there. Stress level rising....


I updated my relationship status and then David texted me telling me he's going to kill himself. Surprise surprise. I sound sarcastic but I was actually shocked. I had no idea he'd even give a damn, honestly. What with the whole "I don't think I have the capacity to care about another person" shit. Well, anyways, I don't feel too bad about that. Sounds like he's going to St. Lukes. Hopefully detox....


.... Rissa is also going to St. Lukes now for post-partum depression! Crazy week. Probably seeing Donny tonight. o.o

Sally's cut my hours.. but that's okay because now I have more free time. Picked Donny up at his place last night in an attempt to retrieve one of his cars from a friend's house. Not that I should be trusted to get us places or anything, but we survived... and then hung out at his place for a bit. The brother is in town for the next two weeks so he's tasked me with finding something fun to do with him. This sucks because there's nothing fun to do in this state :p If all the snow hadn't melted I'd say we could do sledding or something but uhhh.... doesn't look like that's happening any time soon :\ Though, it is Wisconsin. For all I know we've got a 20" blizzard coming tomorrow. I'll think of something :)

Boys are cool. :)

Electric bill jumped from $35 to $134 for turning my heat on. I have Jury Duty at the end of January. Last week we had Taco Tuesday, our Secret Santa Gift Exchange, bowling for Nick's birthday and then an after-party at my place, four Christmas dinners with Karissa, Sali, blah blah blah. I'm too busy to recap this month. Haha, what a waste of an entry ;)

Welcome to the world, little man. I love you and I'm so exciting to watch you grow.

Love,
Your god mommy.

PS. Yeah, I cried a little.

Working two jobs, 70hrs a week my debt is dwindling.I figured it out and I'll be able to pay off all of my debt by February. Also! I got my cosmetology license (I passed my boards)!! :) And a TV. Lots of exciting things going on.


PS. Happy 22nd Birthday to Jami... even though she super sick today :(

Okay, here it goes. I'm in Minnesota for Thanksgiving. Prometrics never sent my letter saying where and when my test is... on Monday. I called them. They "emailed" it to me. I never received the email. Blah blah blah big fiasco. My boards are the day after tomorrow and I'm going to show up at a place that they may or may not be on that date and try to get in with no admission letter. Sound good? Right. Oh, and I'm nervous as fuck. Off to watch more Dexter Season 3 (I know, I'm way behind).

.... BREAK.

State boards November 28th. Come back from Minnesota November 27th. Hmmm...

I am so frustrated with my new manager. I am so sick of getting in trouble for other people's work because it was apparently "my job" to make sure that they did it. Uhhhmmmm.... I have the same fucking job title as everyone else unless you're giving me a raise on the side of this bullshit stop giving me all the shit; and just a thought, how about before bitching at someone for not doing something "The way you wanted it" about how you SHOW them the exact way you fucking wanted it FIRST. That sequence of events just makes more sense. Also I'm sick of putting up with all of this and still getting my hours cut, I've got bills to pay too, ma'am..... and I'm sick of working under someone that I have both 3x more time with the company AND 3x more hands-on experience than.


... I'm sorry I'm bitching, I'm just so frustrated. :(


Things at Great Clips are going okay. I'm sorta contemplating getting a third job... but then I'd never be home and I miss my kitties. On that note, why am I not home now?!


Haven't seen David in a few weeks. November 29th will be one year from the day I got all dressed up and pretty to sit all night and wait for a call all night because I had plans that had been set ffaarrr in advance, only to not hear from the boy (David) that I was waiting on for another two weeks after that. It's funny how some things never change. Hmmmm.... why do I put up with this?


I did go on a couple dates recently, but it didn't work out, obviously.

Been working an accumulative 70hrs a week and still donating plasma twice a week. I'm exhausted. I also firmly believe that I an acquiring the flu. My electric bill came. It's $18. That's exciting news :)

.... I got up super early today thinking I opened at Great Clips and I don't work until 11 >.>

Got a job at Great Clips. It's not the best, but so far I like the people I work with and I'm constantly busy. I make $8 an hour plus tips. I've been working 20hrs a week there and 40 at Sally's and then continuing to donate plasma twice a week for an extra $40/week. Exhausted? Yes. But I like that finally after a month of torture I've got a little bit of money in my pocket. :) Anyways, things are kinda looking up for now. Maybe one of these days I'll get internet and post more often. Now, off to work!

Got the smoke test for my car done. They found nothing but the good news is that because they found nothing, they will not charge me! I was very happy about that. The downside is that now I have a billion other tests to run until they find out what's wrong with my car. I do, however owe Ogden (Parkview) $100, so I mailed that check out today. I bought new shoes yesterday! This is very good news because winter is coming and I could see the bottom of my foot when I looked underneath my right shoe. $34.99, Sketcher's Shapeups at TJ Maxx :)

... My dad's friend is moving out of her house and in with one of her kids so everything in her house is for grabs and so in a couple days I will be acquiring a couch, an entertainment center, a TV, an ANTIQUE RECORD PLAYER (circa. 1969?) that's fully functional!!!!, a kitchen table and four matching chairs, and two recliners. Uh huh. I'm excited to have furniture. And best yet, I didn't have to pay a dime! Also, it's all pretty nice stuff. That record player I'm especially excited about.

Sali is probably no longer coming to stay for a few weeks because I was so insistant that she could not have the cats here. But really, it's not like I said she could and then changed my mind, I told her straight from the beginning, that cats can't come. It's not that I want her to get rid of them or anything. I feel very bad because I genuinely like her cats!! But, I've got two myself and mine are both dominate males and she's got two that don't get along with other cats either and while we COULD lock her two up in her room while she's here

A) It's not fair to the cats, though they have been in similar situations before
B) I was already in this exact situation with my last roommate (her cat basically lived in her room once I got the kitten) and I already know EXACTLY how it's going to go down. Pan will scratch at the door alllll day because he smells other cats and because he doesn't like closed doors. The saving grace at the old place was when this happened, Lou could shut him in my room and she was also rarely home so only once a week did I have to be concerned about him being in there, and usually only late at night because she worked days. Sali doesn't work or go to school or anything so she'd be home all of the time and until they come and fix it, my bedroom door does not shut. I also don't want him locked in there all day every day because he'lll start to destroy things just from frustation. On top of that, any time she'd open her door both cats would run in right away and it would be impossible to just completely avoid this all of the time. They'd meet.... and that's where there'd be some serious trouble. Pan is a very large aggressive barn cat (think: 3.5 feet long, 33 pounds) and her male cat is a little smaller than Pan, but also very territorial. If that cat fight started, it would be difficult to break up and I'm sure they would not get out of unscathed. I'm just not risking it. She's a guest, not a roommate she does not have a say in this. Now of course she's irritated with me because in her mind these aren't valid reasons. She said she's going to just find somewhere else to live, which is silly to me because how is it that a moment ago if I did not accept your cats you were just screwed and now suddenly you're just over the idea and looking for somewhere else to take in both you AND your cats? Oh well. I'm sure it's better off this way anyway. I just hope I'm not being unreasonable.
