Do you ever wonder how you're going to die? A psychic told my sister that she will live to be 88. What if I'm going to die when I'm in my 30s and I haven't done anything with my life because I'm waiting until I retire to do anything fun? What if I do all this stupid work for 40 years that means nothing, and I never reap the benefits? I generally don't think about this, but it crossed my mind this evening while watching Sopranos. They had a discussion on whether or not the Soprano mom should be DNR (do not resuscitate) or not. The oldest sister in the Soprano family came back into town to get the mom's money because she's a leech, so she wanted the mom to be DNR. Anyway, the mom found out and cut her out of the will...
I love my handsfree headset for my cell. I feel like I'm in the room with the person because I don't have to hold the phone to my ear.
My day was pretty shitty. It all started out having to use Suave shampoo. Nick bought the crappy coconut scented Suave shampoo which I hate to use because 1. Who washes their hair with coconuts? and 2. Suave makes my hair look all white trash stringy.
Then I had nothing to wear that was decent, and I ended up wearing these stretchy grey dress pants that make me feel like a toddler in big girl pants because they have an elastic waist instead of a zipper.
I got to work and my boss gives me 8 million things to do while she "takes it easy because we're slow" DUDE. I'm not slow...I had a billion people come in today for new hire paperwork, interviews and other crap that I had to deal with all by myself.
I'm ready for today to be over with....

Today my boss asked me once again if I need help hiring the 40 people for the warehouse, so this time I said "sure why not." I get my own temporary employee! How funny, considering I'm still a temporary employee. She said I'm doing an excellent job at the 30 I'm hiring now. I still feel like every time someone calls me or walks to my desk I'm either in trouble or did something wrong.
My sister just came over, so I'm going to cut this one short and come back to it later.

I just got back to the Haute from home. I wish I didn't have to come back here, but looks like that whole adult thing gets in the way of that. I guess I have some sort of insomnia or something, since the only time sleep comes if it's drug (Nyquil) induced.
I got a sewing machine for Christmas and I'm making a comforter. If I could figure out how to put a picture on here, I'd show pictures. I'm pretty excited about making comforters, since it seems to be pretty easy to make. I plan on making something for all my family and maybe friends. I need to name my sewing machine, so I'm taking suggestions.
Today was the family Christmas party. I stayed for about 45 minutes and then took off for Terre Haute. For some reason my stomach is all messed up too, so I didn't really get to enjoy the food or anything. Yesterday my friend and I went and ate at the worlds best barbeque place, "Moonlight Barbeque" and I didn't get to enjoy the food there either, my stomach was really upset. I just sat and picked at the food.
I really don't have too much to day right now, so I'm going to go watch some TV.

What an exciting weekend I had. Friday I went and saw Lord of the Rings...Saturday I watched Sopranos and went shopping and watched more Sopranos. (I rented seasons 1-3 from work, so I've got forty eight hours of this awesome show) Sunday was a lot of fun. I watched my friends' 3 month old infant, which is funny since I don't know anything about babies. That kid ate and ate and ate....I guess that's what you do when you're growing. Sunday night I went to a Christmas party that my friends were having, so that was ok.
I am currently in the process of hiring 30 people for temporary part time work. This one old hippie guy came in and said "you're as pretty as your voice sounds on the phone" And then before leaving he said "You need to stop taking those pretty pills" Dirty old man....
It sure doesn't feel like Christmas this year. I guess the whole "growing up" thing and not getting two weeks vacation from school has its downfalls. It's still not too late to buy me a great dane for Dec. 25th! Pajamas also work, but I'd prefer the dog.

3 Things I Blame My Mother For (and the stories that explain them):
1. My irrational fear of being alone at night.
This stems from mom and dad not letting me stay home alone at night until college. It also can be stemmed from always having the curtains pulled and being 110% positive the doors were locked before bed. Apparently the thought was someone was always out to get us.
2. My lack of kitchen skills.
My mom never ever showed me how to cook anything. For most of my life I assumed food magically appeared on the table, and my payment would be have to be doing the dishes...oh the fun of avoiding the dishes. Kristina would always "suddenly have to go to the bathroom for 30 minutes" so she's always get to rinse and put away the dishes, which was for some reason easier.
3. Fear of flying/overcrowded areas
These two go hand in hand. You see, my mom would never ever fly anywhere. I think it was because there were too many crowds where we wanted to fly to. We drove everywhere for vacations....which is always fun with two older sisters who forced me to sit in the middle of the back seat. I experienced my first flight last year. Nick and I went to Florida (one of those "crowded places"). I have to tell you that flying is no big thing.
SO as I sit alone at home, mildly scared of "what's out there" I blame my mother. Thanks mom!

Today in the mail I received a Christmas card from the HR people where I did my internship. What a nice gesture, and completely opposite from how my current coworkers treat me.
One of the new employees at work was a chef in a past career. He gave me a great recipe for swedish meatballs...
Not too much has happened this week, I'm rewriting all of the job descriptions for our call center, and testing and interviewing people for 28 positions we have open for the season. My brain is pretty much fried from just thinking work work work.
I'm having a get together this weekend, and have yet to prepare. The only thing I've done so far is bought some food for it. My parents are coming up on Saturday, so they'll help me get ready.
Well, it's time to go buy an outfit for a Christmas party :) Yay!

Today I realized this:
Although you have eighteen million projects in your face, that doesn't mean you have to work on them all right away. Life will go on.
This lady I work with has six cats. SIX. Today I dropped someting off at her desk and she told me a "real quick story" about how her carbon monoxide alarm went off and how her cats went and hid. This real quick story lasted 25 minutes. 25 minutes is a long time when every time you blink someone calls and leaves a message. Anyway, I like talking to the cat lady....she understands that my dogs are like my kids.

Ever see the show Average Joe? I watched the conclusion tonight, and was utterly disappointed by the stupid girls' decision. She had an awesome millionare guy who had a great personality, but wasn't so great on looks, and gave it all up for a stupid 26 year old model who lives with his parents. Looks fade Miss Average Joe, but personality stays.
I am so mad I could vomit.

Last Friday was Hell Day. For those of you who don't know what it feels like to be held up at gun point, pray to god you'll never find out.
Babysitting was ok, I got to change my first diaper ever. little Lilly was a perfect angel until the last hour of the evening. She just decided it was time for her parents to come home, so she cried until they did. The fun part of going to Plainfield is, of course, TARGET!!!
Today was a really crappy day. I found out that I was nominated to be the "voice of HR" for the morale boosters at our call center. Fun stuff. I am becoming too busy to do my normal work, and I have no one to delegate work to, since it's just me and my boss in our department. *SIGH*
I have my stress pimple, and that's bad news. It's the kind that won't go away for a month. Yay... Time for some furniture rearranging for my get together this weekend.

I am now officially in charge of all hourly employee hiring. Yay! What does that mean for me? Well, nothing actually. It means my manager didn't want to do it herself.
I've got all sorts of fun stuff to do tomorrow at work: post two new union jobs and hopefully not piss them off (I like having four tires on my car), work on hiring 26 new people for seasonal work, start two new stupid projects in the call center, and be excited because it's Friday!
Saturday I get to babysit in Plainfield for my friend's 6 month old girl. The mom never puts this kid down, so I've really only held her twice for about sixty seconds each time. It should be a wonderful journey, since I aint know nothing bout no babies.
My living room looks so awesome! It's all decked out for Christmas! I'm going to decorate the dining room too....and perhaps the kitchen.
I bought one of those giant blow-up-white-trash-soldiers for my front yard. I named him Mario, my inflatable boyfriend. He protects the house. This morning I was leaving for work and I noticed Mario was laying down on the job, so I fired him....Not really, I just unplugged him. Someone had to show him who the boss is (that's me).
My sister came over and made nine dozen sugar cookies. They look really good. I'm supposed to go to a cookie exchange party tomorrow, but I don't want to go.
Well, it's time to rearrange some furniture so my house doesn't look like a total wreck.

Guess what I found out at work today? I found out that if you show interest in someone's project that you end up doing their bitch work. I think one day I asked the secretary about something on her desk, and ended up being the mail opener. Today I was at our other location in town and mentioned that it would be cool to work there, since it is like a different world (it's our call center). The lady I said that to took me into her office and showed me all this "cool stuff" I could do for her. (I think everyone thinks I just fell off the turnip truck yesterday.) I am about to be roped into some bitch work for an entire month in the call center....Hopefully my manager will see this, and will insist I help her.
Why doesn't anyone get me a great dane puppy for Christmas? I've asked for one for the past three years. Have I really been that bad of a girl? : ( booo hooo
I secretly have the neighborhood cat in here...Morris is resting comfortably on the papazan chair. It will be funny when Nick gets home and sneezes uncontrollably from the dander. I've been busted with the cat in the house a few times, and almost talked him into having him move in with us, but then I had a rush of that whole conscience thing...

What a day! Exploding washing machines, clogged drains, slow DSL....
Kristina and Ted took us for lunch for watching Caesar, which was nice. We went to Sams Club and picked up some stuff then went to their house to watch their vacation video. I would really love to see an ocean.
After the vacation movie it was cleaning time. I cleaned the stairs with a carpet cleaner to get out that "just peed on" smell while Nick did laundry in the basement. While the laundry was going he did the dishes...well he went to check on the clothes and about a fourth of the basement was flooded. You guessed it! A broke washing machine! I got my exercise today bucketing water into the utility, which then proceeded to clog. How wonderful, now we have a PAIR of clogged drains (Upstairs and basement).
We did figure out how to fix our incredibly slow DSL line today. I guess if you use a really long phone cord it loses speed or something. Anyway, that is fixed. Hopefully our landlord will get our phone message and will come here and fix our drains. Three bottles of "professional strength" liquid plumber and a drain snake couldn't fix it, I'd like to see a real professional get his ass in here and fix it.

Well, I went to the first baptism of my adult life today. It was only about ten minutes long. I did get a piece of cake out of the deal though :)
There went my Saturday, but I guess it was for a good cause. I got to go to Kohl's and bought three sweaters (yay clothes!)
I really don't have too much to say today. My sister took her dog back, I'm gonna miss the little bugger.

A funny thing happened at Taco Bell this evening. It seems I've "lost touch" with my high school way of life. (Which is a good thing because I've been out of high school for four years). ANYWAY, so I guess the new way to show your school spirit is to dress up like prostitutes, in your school colors of course.
I was sitting there with Nick and I noticed this older guy beside us with his teenage son. I took the opportunity to say "Aren't you glad you don't have a teenage daughter?" referring to the girls in fishnet stockings, miniskirts and tons of makeup on. He said "I do...and she's a senior." Open mouth insert foot. He informed me that was the new way to show your school spirit and "everyone does it." GEEBUS
I got to spend the day with Jabba the Hut in accounts payable. The first week I worked at Hell she was really mean to me, but now she's really nice and I feel bad for calling her Jabba.
I am going to a baptism tomorrow. The parents sort of offended me, as I am the only friend they have that is Catholic and they didn't ask me to be a godparent. Maybe I won't go.... I feel a case of explosive diarrhea coming on.
Well, I'm going to go now and get ready to see Cat In The Hat!

My blog is lame. I'll admit it right now. I have to keep the lame factor high because everyone in my family reads this. So Der DER Der...I hate work...yada yada yada.
Tonight I am watching Anger management. It is really frustrating. I feel just like Adam Sandler in the movie because he's misunderstood constantly. People don't know who I am, they just assume since I'm "green" that I don't know crap. Maybe I should just start wearing my glasses and dressing all professional. Thing is, I just can't bring myself to care enough about work to try to let these people know who I really am.
I wonder when my life is really going to start. They say that 30 is the new 21. So what does that make me...-8 years old? Hmm..I think I need a job where I'm my own boss. Donations may be made to the "Amanda's start up company" fund in increments of 100s, I accept VISA, MasterCard and PayPal. We do not accept American Express. Payments may be made to 123 Fake Street, Apt. A USATown, IN 12345.

What's grosser than gross? ME!
This morning I slept in because I'm just lazy that way. That means I didn't take a shower...I had to put my hair up at work because it was so gross.
I almost adopted a dog today, only to be immediately shot down by Nick...who is of course the dog Nazi. NO DOG FOR YOU! It was a really cute doggie at my sister's work named Bagel. Gosh darn it.
My manager left at 2 today, leaving me to my own devices. I actually did work. The only other person here who talks to me left early today too, therefore I was forced to do something constructive. I'll tell you what, it really sucks being ignored here. The secretary here talks to me sometimes, when she's pretending to be nice.
I'm feeling much better today, but now my nose is all raw from blowing it all the time. Pretty standard really.
I don't have much to say right now...maybe I'll post something more interesting later this evening.

So yesterday I was looking around the indyblogs, and they are all full of cool information. My blog is so not full of cool stuff, but it is about me.
I put my Christmas decorations up last night! I'm going to wait until closer to Christmas to put my tree up though. As I was putting my decorations, I realized I didn't have as much stuff as I thought. I decided to head out (in my sweatpants and dog hair infested shirt) and buy some more decorations. First I went to Jeffrey Allen's and picked up some more garland (I wanted the pre lit, but had to settle for doing that myself), then went to Hobby Lobby. I bought some cute wooden decorations, but still didn't have enough stuff, so I walked over to Big Lots which is in the same shopping center. I really fit in there, looking all white trash.
I found this cute three foot metal snowman thing for outside, but decided 12 bucks was too much for it, since it looked generic. It took me a while to put the stupid sign back because it kept leaning forward, so I said screw it, and let it lean forward. Turns out that was a bad idea, and they all went tumbling to the floor with a loud crash. The whole store stared at me, and I looked like "hey I don't care,' which I didn't until I saw Nick's dad and evil stepmother....uuuughh.. They talked to me for a bit and invited me to dinner at olive garden. I, looking like the white trash, turned them down because I was in the middle of decorating. Like I WANT to go eat with them by myself? Yeah right. They would probably look at the bill and say "ok, who got the water?"
I went to Church this morning, hacking and sneezing through the whole thing. There was a guy beside me who was singing and praying really loud, like he's the best Catholic in the world. I really hate sitting by people like that because they make me feel like I have to sing and pray loud too. I could hardly hear anything because my ears were all plugged up, but I could hear this guy.
Caesar had a wonderful first night here...he whined the entire night in his cage, which is three feet away from me. I think I may try letting him sleep on the bed, but I'm not too sure yet. Last time I let him sleep on the bed it took him 30 minutes of play time with Maddy and Aidan. His play time consists of trying to bite them and make them bark at him. Maddy thinks that Caesar's dog food is hers for some reason, and she won't let him eat it. Aidan picks out the red pieces out of it too. It's the real expensive kind. I kid you not, this 20 lb bag of food cost 30 dollars. I tried taking him for a walk today, but ended up going on a sprint half way around the block...which is not good for a sick puppy like me.
I should take pictures of my beautiful living room. I'm pretty proud of my decorating abilties.
Well, it's time for me to go play with Caesar. He brought all his toys to me. I think that's a sign.
I'll get you next time Gadget!

I bought some cute wooden decorations, but still didn't have enough stuff, so I walked over to Big Lots which is in the same shopping center. I really fit in there, looking all white trash.
I found this cute three foot metal snowman thing for outside, but decided 12 bucks was too much for it, since it looked generic. It took me a while to put the stupid sign back because it kept leaning forward, so I said screw it, and let it lean forward. Turns out that was a bad idea, and they all went tumbling to the floor with a loud crash. The whole store stared at me, and I looked like "hey I don't care,' which I didn't until I saw Nick's dad and evil stepmother....uuuughh.. They talked to me for a bit and invited me to dinner at olive garden. I, looking like the white trash, turned them down because I was in the middle of decorating. Like I WANT to go eat with them by myself? Yeah right. They would probably look at the bill and say "ok, who got the water?"
I went to Church this morning, hacking and sneezing through the whole thing. There was a guy beside me who was singing and praying really loud, like he's the best Catholic in the world. I really hate sitting by people like that because they make me feel like I have to sing and pray loud too. I could hardly hear anything because my ears were all plugged up, but I could hear this guy.
Caesar had a wonderful first night here...he whined the entire night in his cage, which is three feet away from me. I think I may try letting him sleep on the bed, but I'm not too sure yet. Last time I let him sleep on the bed it took him 30 minutes of play time with Maddy and Aidan. His play time consists of trying to bite them and make them bark at him. Maddy thinks that Caesar's dog food is hers for some reason, and she won't let him eat it. Aidan picks out the red pieces out of it too. It's the real expensive kind. I kid you not, this 20 lb bag of food cost 30 dollars. I tried taking him for a walk today, but ended up going on a sprint half way around the block...which is not good for a sick puppy like me.
I should take pictures of my beautiful living room. I'm pretty proud of my decorating abilties.
Well, it's time for me to go play with Caesar. He brought all his toys to me. I think that's a sign.
I'll get you next time Gadget!

I am a very sick monkey today. Last night Nick and I went to Red Lobster and I got a nosebleed. Haha...how nice. We went to see Elf after that. It was a really good movie, except I had to blow my nose and sneeze through the whole thing. It seems I had the making of a cold last night, and today it's full blown.
My sister is on vacation as of today. I went to pick up her dog Caesar this morning, and he hasn't sat down since he walked in the door.
There are some new people moving in across the street today, thank god that annoying woman and what I assume is her daughter moved out. I haven't seen anyone out and about doing any moving yet....my New Boston is coming out, I simply have to know everything that is going on in the neighborhood. You can take the girl out of the small town, but you can't take the small town out of the girl.
I rented five movies from work...right now I'm watching the cartoon version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It's a classic. I'm on the verge of decorating for Christmas...my neighbor who is so Martha Stewart already has her tree up, so why can't I? The only thing stopping me is Caesar, who I assume will eat all the ornaments off my tree. Last year he ate glass bulbs! Didn't phase him a bit.
Columbia House bought time at Toys R Us tonight for the employees. The official count is 1500 people attending. I signed up to go, but then thought, why should I go shopping with co-workers and listen to them bitch about HR?
I'm really really wanting to put my Christmas stuff up. Maybe I'll decorate and then put the tree up after Thanksgiving. Hmm....

Well, it seems my dogs weren't poisoned, however, my dog did vomit on my bed... square on my quilt from grandma. Needless to say, I made a trip to the store and bought some new blankets and sheets.
Mental note to self: when going on a low carb/high protein diet, make sure to find a way to get enough fiber.
I hate Tuesdays...they are too far away from Friday. It was a really crummy day today outside, the kind of day that can really bring you down. I was busy today at work learning my supervisor's job, so I didn't get time to sulk about it being Tuesday.
It seems my devil employer is going to pile a double workload on me, and STILL not hire me on a non-temporary status. I vow here and now, if I'm not a regular employee by December 28th, my Christmas present to myself will be quitting that piece of shit job. I don't care how great of an experience it is, my poor ego can't handle being temporary and working twice as hard as anyone else there.
I found out that I use shopping to ease my stress. I guess it's better than alcohol or drugs. After work today I found myself at Walgreens loading up on makeup that I don't need. I realized I didn't need all that crap before checking out, so I ended up with a huge ass vanilla candle. Lucky for me I was raised believing that money DOESN'T grow on trees.
I really don't have much to say today...so this one will be short. I don't even think I have a top five list. How about this:
Top 5 Chores I Hate:
1. DISHES
2. Picking up my clothes from the floor
3. Cleaning anything in the bathroom
4. Sweeping my stupid floors
5. Mopping
Dusting and vacuuming I don't mind so much. :) I don't know why.
Adieu, farewell, auf viederzien, goodnight.

Goodness! What am I doing posting a blog at 4:15? Well, let me tell you...I am posting at work because I can, darn it! My manager is sick today...I think somebody has a case of the Mondays! I had a case of the Mondays this morning, but do you see me at home? Nope.
Well...no one noticed I dyed my hair dark brown except for two people in the office. I was mistaken for the other younger person here, but when I looked up, they said "Oh, it's you." (Because as you all know, I'm the office plague)
My grandma Helen did NOT like my hair, but my parents did. I don't think I like it, but as the hair stylist said, give it a week.
Want to know something gross? I've had dishes in my sink for a week. Pretty nasty. I was going to do them Saturday, but I ended up at my sister's all day. Then yesterday I spent the day at home, and didn't get back until quarter till 9. For those of you who know me, that is wayyyy too late for me to be doing anything but sitting on my happy ass in bed watching TV.
My poor dog Aidan is sick. This morning I woke up and she was right under my feet letting me know it. I picked all four pounds of her up and she was all hot and kind of limp. I have a really bad feeling both of my dogs will be dead when I get home... I had my sister and brother in law watch my dogs yesterday and when I got home they both had gurgling bellies like they ate something rotten. (I give it 40 minutes after I get home until my sister calls and says "I didn't poison your dogs! Take that off your blog! I'll never watch your dogs again!)Hehehe
Ok, well I should do some work now....
Top 5 list of songs I loathe:
1. Anything Clay Aiken (ESPECIALLY that song Invisible)
2. "Where Is The Love" by whoever
3. Anything Justin Timberlake (ESPECIALLY the McDonald's theme song)
4. Ok well, it was a top 3. Sorry.
Leave me a comment..I DARE you!

Hey, I just took a personality inventory. For those of you who know me, this is pretty accurate
Here are my results:
Take Free Myers-Briggs Personality Test
Here are my results:
| ESFP - "Entertainer". Radiates attractive warmth and optimism. Smooth, witty, charming, clever. Fun to be with. Very generous. 8.5% of the total population. |
Hey! What's up! I'm such a smart person, I figured out how to do the cool template stuff.
Anyway, more about me: I get to go home tomorrow to help with the fall social at church. I'm such a good person. I got my hair dyed a dark brown today, and boy, do I look different! I'm not too sure if I like it or not, but I welcomed the change. Anyway, I lost three whole pounds....that exercising is paying off I suppose. Today I walked/ran about a mile and a half. I saw places in town I never knew existed. My neighbor blew the leaves off my porch *again* and into the street. There is this pile three feet high where I park (when I don't park in the garage)! What a damned mess.
Speaking of damned, last night was my first pre-cana class. For those non-Catholics out there, it means wedding class. It's funny that it's taught by an old couple who have only been married for eight years. Like they know how to stick to their vows....and there was another couple of kids who were fresh out of high school. Oh geebus! We watched a movie and left. I have to go to four more of those darned things!
On a happier note, I bought crap to go on my x-mas tree today! This year's theme will be blue, white and silver....like the colors of my alma mater. Blah, I should have thought that one out more thoroughly. Anyway, it will look beautiful!
Top 5 Reasons NOT to Eat Taco Bell:
1. You love it now, but you hate it 20 minutes later
2. Food that cheap really isn't good for you, now is it?
3. Carbs carbs carbs!
4. The refried beans have bean chunks in them
5. Taco Bell is the devil...you have to kill the devil!
Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!

Well, I didn't get to post anything yesterday...a rare occurrence happened;Nick had the evening off. We had a great evening. We made a fire in the fireplace, drank Mystic Chai tea and watched TV. Turns out I needed some sleep, as it seems I fell asleep at 8 and didn't wake up until the next morning.
Well, today my supervisor took the day off...so I spent another day doing nothing. My sister broke her foot four days ago at work and just now got it cast. Talk about screwed up..she works in a hospital!
So what do you think about the Florida woman who is brain damaged? What would you want your family to do if you were in her shoes? I wouldn't have wanted my family to plug me to a feeding tube in the first place. What kind of life can you have if you're severely brain damaged? Maybe this is a discussion you should have with your family.
I am going to have to set this thing up to where people can leave me messages, so I don't look like a lunatic who talks to herself.
Friends is on in five minutes. My sister just found out about my blog...this means everyone in my family and all their friends are going to read this. Anyway, here is my top five list for today:
Top Five Reasons Why I Like Peanut Butter:
1. You can make celery taste good with it
2. It is good for you in moderation
3. It makes my dogs look funny when you feed them PB
4. It's classic
5. Ok, so I only had four reasons!
Have a great evening and a beautiful Friday!

I fell for a trend today. I broke down and bought a purse with my initial on it. It's not like it's a huge letter A, but it's a cute little two inch pink A. I had to buy it! It was so damned cute!
Once I'm finished posting this blog, I'm going to buy some x-mas presents online. I'll be just about done buying for Christmas then....I'm so darn organized this year.
My manager wasn't at work today, therefore, I spent the entire day doing whatever I felt like. One of the directors brought in her granddaughters' Halloween candy, and I didn't eat a piece...Twizzlers don't count, right? My supervisor recently bought a bed and breakfast here in town, so her last day is next week. Hopefully that means someday I'll be movin on up. I swear, I work in Hell itself.
Ok, for today's list:
Top 5 Things I Want for Christmas
1. Candles
2. A blue great dane
3. A new Ford Escape
4. A cooler job
5. The past 5 years back, so I would have appreciated college life for what it was...doing whatever whenever!
Today's post will be short, my favorite show is on soon, and I needs to do me shoppiiin.
I wonder if I'll end up a credit card victim like those commercials where the old lady is talking like a young man...I love those commercials.
Adios!

So I was thinking...what does commitment mean to me?
What does it mean to anyone?
As you may or may not know, I'm getting married in seven months. As exciting as it is, I fear I'm going to be another statistic. I mean, look at me...what makes me any different from the zillions of people getting divorced every day?
I guess I should look at it differently. Wait a minute..I'm not going to talk about this. Let's talk about something else.
A co-worker's dog died today. She didn't seem too tore up about it. It was a puppy named Scab. I think anyone who would name their dog after a nasty thing like a scab should not own a dog.
I stuck to my low carb diet today. I don't think this whole diet thing will last long. I don't care.
Next up...another one of my co-workers had her first hot flash! It was funny...but then I had to apologize because it's like getting your first period I suppose and people are sensitive.
There were two new employees today. When a new employee comes in, I do their paperwork and give them their benefits information...how important am I? Anyway, this guy was moving from Nashville to the Haute. He was telling me about how wonderful this town was. For those of you who've never been here, it's a rat hole of a place. Imagine coming here thinking it's wonderful! Let me tell you, this guy had people smoking crack in his back yard, and hypodermic needles in the front yard. Talk about messed up!
By the way, I like to jump around topics when I'm typing. If you don't like it, get yer own blog.
OOOOk, what else is new? I took my sister's psycho dog for a walk around a park here today. The damned thing barked at people, cars, squirrels, leaves, and air. I thought he was going to die when I got him home, he had all this white spit all over his face like he was rabid, and was panting like a woman in labor. I think he had a good time. I got some running in at the park, that was nice.
I got about a bazillion new magazines in the mail today.
My house is such a mess...I completely trash it all week and clean it one day a week. I should be more domestic, but that's just not me.
Ok, I'm sure you've had plenty of my day...how was yours?

Hey, check this out. I can be just like my sisters and have a blog for all my family to see. Do I really want my family knowing what is going on in my every day life? Probably not. Either way, I'm going to type my heart out, which is better than eating my heart out.
I have a feeling I'm going to go on tangents with this blog deal, which is OK for me, since I'm the boss of me.
Do you know what I really hate?
Here is a top 10 list:
#1 When pushing tab in a window gets you to a different area...and not five spaces like a tab should.
#2 The working world
#3 Having to be cordial with dumbasses
#4 Having to shower every day
#5 When my dog poops inside
#6 Not owning a house
#7 Not owning a cool suv
#8 99% of my co-workers
#9 Passive aggressive people
#10 Fat thighs
Now that you know a little about my dislikes, here is a top ten list of things I do like:
#1 Mademoiselle Mutt a.k.a Maddy,Matilda,Mad Mad....my dog!
#2 Having a pay check
#3 When my fingernails look good
#4 Scented candles
#5 Italian Food
#6 My fiance
#6 Knowing I'm not in over my head financially
#7 Knowing I have my whole life ahead of me
#8 Papazan chairs
#9 The Great Outdoors
#10 My belly button...and the belly button of others.
OK, well its time for me to make some dinner. I think I'll have something healthy.....like a mexican pizza from taco bell! It has tomatoes on it, right? That constitutes as healthy.
