Today my old boss from ISU and I went to lunch and saw a movie. We ate at Applebees (which opens at 11 btw so don't go any earlier), which was pretty good. I ordered nachos that came served on this huuuuge platter thing. I asked the waiter (Kaleb) why he didn't tell me it was going to be that big and he said "I like people to make their own mistakes, I don't tell people what to order. I like to guide, but not direct." Gee, you think he's a theater major? DRAMA
So after lunch we went to see House of Fog and Sand. There wasn't too much sand in the movie, but there was a lot of fog and a house. Basically the movie goes like this:
A depressed divorcee doesn't open her mail for 8 months and gets evicted because she didn't pay some taxes that she wasn't supposed to pay anyway. The cop who evicts her "gives her some help getting set up at a hotel" and this Iranian family buys her house before at auction. She hooks up with the cop, he leaves his family and they continuously threaten the Iranians to get out of the house because it's theirs. That whole part wasn't bad, it was the ending that made me feel not so warm and fuzzy inside. If you want to know the ending, I'll blog it next time, some people don't like to hear the endings of movies.
I left the theater feeling very odd.
Jeanine and I went to the mall for a bit and shopped at Hallmark, where I bought a Hazelnut Coffee Yankee candle good enough to drink. I also got some Warm Vanilla Sugar body wash and lotion, which smells good enough to eat.
I am now hanging out at my house wondering if I should either make dinner or just skip it. I'm hungryish, but not hungry enough to actually make anything. I am that lazy.
My neighbor Shaneeka (I kid you not) woke me up this morning at 2AM again, but I fell asleep before I could get motivated to kick her ass. I'll get you yet Gadget...(evil cat laughter)

My temporary employee is doing great, the only problem is that she takes forever to do anything. I am thinking maybe it's because she's learning. Her name is Lisa and she's 21 and is pretty cool. So far she hasn't taken any of my workload off yet, since she's still kind of in that whole "get in the way" phase, but I definitely see potential.

Today I had new hire orientation at 7AM. It went fairly smooth, and I really hope these people stay. Waking up at 6 really sucks, especially when you're stupid ass neighbor wakes you up every morning at 2AM with "AAH HA HA...WHOO HA HA...AAAAAAAAA" Apparently she finds something very funny every morning. I swear to my blog if that loud piece of crap wakes me up tomorrow morning any time before 9 she will know who I am up close and personal.

More later.

I called off the wedding last night. Nick was ok with it, he seemed indifferent. It wasn't anything anyone suggested to me, actually it was. Kristina said "I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did." Generally she's right about everything...so I thought long and hard and decided not to settle yet. I kind of feel like a giant knot in my stomach loosened up, but it is still there.
I've been super busy at work and am stressed about it. Tomorrow my temporary worker starts, so I'll be happy then!

Today I got a really great letter of thanks from a hiring manager. It was really awesome. So who was the person who told me to drink a beer? I'm very curious....

So is it bad to not do something because you don't want to, for example, clean the house or cook dinner? When I get home from work all I want to do is relax, not clean or do dishes or anything. Does that make me a bad person?
I think I either need to:
A. grow up
B. become the person who's 30 and won't settle down...
