[ music | a commercial from the TV in the living room ]

I found my ring! I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am! It's been missing since late Sunday afternoon. And earlier this evening I was convinced it was gone for good. My dad told me to check through all my purses and any other shoulder bags I might have used recently. So I'm looking and looking. Nothing. I called my grandmother, thinking I might have lost it when I was at her house last week. Nope. She said she would look again tomorrow. My dad offered to rip the whole house apart--his and mine--to find it. So I'm talking to my grandmother and she's trying to get me to stop crying when I decide to take my dad's advice and go through my stuff again. This time I go through this teeny tiny pocket in my bag that I didn't think I ever used. I was thinking what a waste it was because nothing was there when I feel something. So I pull this hard object out, figuring it was my missing earring. It was my ring! I stared at it for a good two minutes at least just so I could believe that it was really true. I started screaming. I think I yelled "I found it!" about twelve times. My grandmother said she was so happy for me; that this made her night. So then I called my dad back. His reaction was exactly what I expected. So then to cheer me up even more, he told me that he'd take me to get my driver's license (the one I have is split in half) this Saturday. He said after that he'd help me check the filters and fluids in my car and then we'd go shopping to see if they still have this polo shirt that I wanted. Is my dad the coolest or what?! I'll update you on the rest of my day later. Right now I want to finish writing my drill book so I have it for training tomorrow night. Bye all!

[ mood | hyper ]
[ music | of course crazy would work too ]

Yes! It's true! Two updates in one day! Can't you tell that I'm incredibly hyper? Maybe it was eating those cookies. Or else when I went through an entire Whose Line episode almost word for word. Kevin, I think I'll be joining you in that 12-step program after all. Right now I'm chatting with my brother, trying to burn off some of this energy. Otherwise I'll be totally dead at work and volleyball practice tomorrow. I'm also screaming because I'm finding out stuff about people that I didn't know. It's scary! OK, time to calm down a little.

[ music | Philadelphia Freedom --Elton John ]

This is dedicated to those loyal fans of mine out there who miss the already rare updates.

I think it was almost two weeks ago since we chatted last. Let's see if I can't catch you up with everything that's happened.

My desk is a glorified mess, which is part of the reason I haven't been updating this thing, but I also realize that's not a satisfactory excuse. Last Tuesday I ended up getting sick at work. Enough so that the manager and her assistant sent me home at lunch time. I couldn't complain, nor did I really have the strength to even try. By Wednesday I was feeling better and even managed to get caught up on my work. The rest of that week passed fairly uneventfully.

On Saturday I went grocery shopping. I found these great new things! They're freeze pops with orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream swirled together. The next thing I found was something similar, but they were water ice. They were in a tube but the actual water ice was shaped like Dippin Dots! Dippin Dots are these tiny bead shaped things that taste like ice cream. I really miss those. Another thing I found was frozen vegetables in a box. Granted, that's rather common, but this thing had a pouch inside the box. All you had to do was cook the pouch in boiling water. When it was done, you just cut it open and your whole dish is there. Vegetables, sauce, the works. I'm going to try cooking that for dinner tonight. Sunday I woke up at 4:30 (I'll explain that later). I watched cartoons and then the improvathon while cleaning both the living room and my bedroom. Glad that's done. I just have to pick up a few stray things before my dad's wife comes over tomorrow. There's this popular restaurant that has homestyle cooking nearby. It's only about a quarter mile away, so we're going to walk there for dinner tomorrow night. On a sad note, I can't find the ring that my dad gave me for my eleventh birthday. Hopefully it'll turn up tomorrow. My dad said he'd have his wife check over the couch for it again. That's the last place I saw it, so.... Either it's buried very deep in or else my living room couch swallowed my ring. Anyway. I have such a headache, I can't even concentrate on the screen anymore. I'm going to try cooking that vegetables-in-a-box thing. Later gators.

So how much did you miss? [6 August 2002|07:08pm]
[ mood | relaxed ]
[ music | It's Still Rock and Roll To Me --Billy Joel ]

I can't remember what all I've told you guys and what I haven't from my last entry. So briefly (or not), here's the week in review.

Monday: I wanted to quit my job.
Tuesday: I still wasn't speaking to my boss.
Wednesday: My boss's assistant yelled at her.
Thursday: The volleyball games went really well. Ed was impressed by my serving, and also because I managed to save the shot he hit out of bounds. (FYI, for those of you who care. If not, then don't read this part. If the ball goes out of bounds but stays on your side of the court, it is legal for another player to hit it.)
Friday: I had dinner with my grandmother.
Saturday: see previous entry
Sunday: I went over to the mall again. They didn't have the breakaway pants I wanted in my size, otherwise I would have gotten them too. I got so spoiled this weekend, it almost isn't funny.

And now for this week.

It's my boss's turn to have a bad week, so I'm kinda happy about that. I tried to call one of my best friends, but as usual, she wasn't around. She never is. I cooked dinner and ate outside since the weather is so beautiful. I talked to my aunt on the phone for half an hour. I'm glad to hear that things are going well for her. But I'm especially grateful for the beautiful weather. It feels almost fall like, and I absolutely love it. There's only one major thing missing from this equation (hint, hint), but that too shall come with time. I can't wait for my vacation! I'm thinking of taking it in about two months.

Well, that's it for now. I'm going to get some ice cream and play outside for awhile. :-)

PS--My dad's wife bought me the swags I wanted for my kitchen curtains. She even washed and hung them up for me. Maybe she's not so weird after all.

[ music | Grease --from the musical Grease ]

This week has been something. My boss had me so angry and upset on Monday that I almost quit my job after being there almost half an hour. The rest of the day didn't go much better. Neither did the rest of the week. I was kind of happy to learn that my boss's assistant yelled at her for being so mean.

I had dinner with my grandmother last night and then went grocery shopping. Nothing interesting there. Today she called my cell phone, saying that it was an emergency and I should call her soon as I got the message. I did. Her "emergency" was whether or not she'd left the waitress a tip last night! Hello?! Don't scare me like that!

I went curtain shopping this afternoon. I was so ticked because they didn't have the swags I wanted for my kitchen curtains. I did find cute ones for my bedroom, so that was cool. And I bought this incredible pair of jeans. They lace up the sides. And instead of zippering and buttoning like regular jeans, these tie in the front. I'm also happy because now I can fit into the same size clothes I wore when I was still in high school. As long as I can fit into the dress for my sister's wedding next month, I won't have a thing to worry about. I just don't want it to be too loose on me.

So anyway. I went tanning out by the pool this afternoon. I was there for about half an hour and just about to dive in the pool to cool off when the lifeguard blows his whistle and yells, "Everybody out! I heard thunder!" Personally I think he just wanted a chance to flirt with the female life guards, but everybody ended up leaving. I don't know if they closed the place or not. I went shopping (again) and bought the aquarium lamp I've been wanting for weeks. When you plug it in, the thing bubbles and these little plastic fish swim around just like the real thing. It's so cool because there's no work involved. And when I get tired of it, I can just pull the plug.

Another update tomorrow. Provided there's enough time after I do some more shopping, tanning, plus cleaning my apartment and doing the dishes.

What a weekend! [20 July 2002|04:52pm]
[ mood | busy ]
[ music | Every Morning (?) --Sugar Ray ]

I know it's been practically forever since I've updated this thing. I'm pretty much settled into my apartment. There's still a few things that need to be unpacked. And eventually I'll find the time and energy to go pick up the end tables and choose curtains. Right now I just have the shades. Plus I want to get a couple more lamps.

So anyway. Backing up to last night. I worked late as usual, and then I took my grandmother out for dinner. When I got back to my apartment, I found an ambulance and a rescue truck just up the street, along with a man directing traffic. So I figured they were helping out with an accident scene that was up the road. So I'm thinking it's not that big a deal. Then a fire truck comes along Yeah, OK. Sometimes they dispatch them to accident scenes just in case. I still didn't see what was happening. My next-door neighbor's son ran up the street to check things out. He said that lightning hit the phone company building and they smelled smoke. My landlord and his sister came out to see what was going on as all the fire trucks came racing by. So then the three of us walked up the street. I am so thankful that it was so far away that we weren't in danger. It was only about five hundred feet up the road. I was a little nervous since it was so close, but also very grateful that it was that far away. So then we're looking at the scene and one of the firefighters thought the hose would burst, so we all had to be moved up the street. There was about fifty people all standing across the street from the building, watching the action. They had everything taped off with fire tape, so we were stuck at the scene for half an hour to forty-five minutes. We could see the smoke coming out of the roof and everything. It bothered me, but I'm sensitive to smoke. Everyone else just watched in fascination, so it couldn't have been that bad. Nobody was hurt, and I don't think there was much damage to the building. Just smoke and water, and a little bit to the roof. There was a sprinkler system in the place since it used to be an old school house at one time. That's what all the neighbors told me. When we were finally allowed back down the street, I walked with this girl who was about my age. She lives just a few doors down. The cool thing about it was that I got to meet some of my neighbors who are really nice, and my landlord's sister, who is an awesome lady. So then I ended up calling my dad. He was really curious, since he used to be a volunteer fireman way back when. He asked me what kind of trucks were there so I described them. I'm just glad I got home right when the action started. Had I stayed any longer, I wouldn't have been able to. They blocked the entire street about ten minutes after I got home, and didn't start letting people through until over three hours later.

This morning I had to work. One of my coworkers was there before me, and to kill time before everyone else came, she showed me the clothes and shoes she'd bought. She'd gotten a good deal on the whole lot. One of the pairs was exactly like a black pair I have except in gray. She also showed me pictures of her boyfriend's dog. It is just so cute. Of course I think all dogs are cute. Except for my dad's furry slob when it's begging for table scraps. And his wife wonders why I'm not always thrilled about eating dinner over there. Don't get me wrong. I think my family is great (usually). It's just that I don't like the dog sitting by my chair, begging, during meals. Unfortunately he doesn't understand the word no or the phrase go eat your dog food.

Anyway. After work I went shopping. I wasn't going to get much, but I ended up finding the perfect outfit for my sister's wedding. It's a long black skirt with red roses on it. It has an elastic waist, but you wouldn't know that by looking at it. And then there was the sleeveless red sweater to go with it. And the matching black jacket with three-quarter length sleeves. It was a mix-and-match deal. I could have gotten a red or black sweater as well as a red or black jacket. I know her wedding isn't till September, but I just couldn't pass this one up. I'm glad I didn't either. They only had one in my size. Next came finding the gift which was a trip in itself. Luckily she was in the gift registry, so I had a specific list to choose from. I never knew that my sister's name was so common. There were so many registered at that store all across the country. Luckily the clerk found hers by my future brother-in-law's name. In a way I'm kind of disappointed because I wanted to get my sister something that wasn't so plain, but at least I know she'll like what I picked, and that no one else will have gotten it for her. Enough said here. I'm going to make dinner, clean up, and do some laundry. Bye for now.

Apartment life...day one [6 July 2002|11:55pm]
[ mood | drained ]
[ music | Daniel --Elton John ]

I officially moved into my apartment today. Only about one-third (if that) of my clothes are unpacked. And my kitchen. Well, forget about that. Everything is still right where I left it since last week. Obviously we brought my computer over. But I forgot some of the cords and stuff, so my dad brought them over to me about an hour ago. Unfortunately the outlets wouldn't work with my computer, meaning the adapter I need was still at home. I thought about going out and just buying one, but I ended up moving my whole system into the living room. I'm going to move it back first thing in the morning. So that's why I'm sleeping on my couch tonight. Tomorrow I get to have my cable installed. I get Game Show Network! I get Game Show Network! Sorry. I just had to say that. And it's not just at night either. It's all the time. I get all my favorite channels. I'll try to update more later. Right now I'm kinda tired. Night all.

It's a good thing I don't work for the US Postal Service. [2 July 2002|11:06pm]
[ mood | irate ]

I am so ticked off it's not even funny. It all started yesterday when I was accused of something I didn't do. Then I got a huge lecture because of a simple mistake I made. Whatever happened to forgiving someone when they're genuinely sorry? Next came an argument with my sister and then one with my brother. I got the invitation to her wedding in the mail today. I'm so furious, but not really at her, that I don't even want to go to the reception. Not like I can go to the wedding even, since I have to work. That's her own damn fault, though. She should have told me this ahead of time so I could make sure that I got off work. Today didn't go much better. I didn't get accused of anything at work; I just got ink on my favorite white shirt. Hopefully it came out in the wash. (And did I mention that four of the keys on this *bleeping* computer are broken?) The electric in my apartment hasn't been turned on yet. And I'm sick of calling the company and screaming at them about it. And as for screaming, I have to do the same thing to the registrar tomorrow. My diploma still has not come yet! If it's not at my house by Friday, I will be calling everyday until it arrives. I got cheated out of commencement. Not like I really care, but still. I earned that diploma, and I damn well better get it! And tonight at volleyball practice, Brad (the coach) managed to piss off both Rick and Rich. I can't blame them in the least. Obviously I was in a bad mood to begin with, and this didn't help matters any. Finally we settled into a game. The peace lasted for, oh, all of five minutes. That's when Michelle started acting like she was the guru of volleyball. "Tom, straighten your arms. Sharon, don't arch your back." I wanted to ask her who she thought she was to tell us how to play. Granted, I'm not the best player on the team, and I don't act like I am either. She's just so snobby. I miss Heidi and Neal and Brian and Rebecca. I saw Heidi and Neal last Wednesday. I couldn't tell for sure, but she looked like she was getting along with her pregnancy. We knew Rebecca was, but nobody ever said anything about Heidi. But that would explain why they haven't been there. After practice Michelle was talking to Darius (aka Chief), and I just happened to be there. She was complaining because Rick and Rich had gotten pissed off and left. I think everybody was fed up with everybody else tonight. I was kind of annoyed with her because of the dirty looks she gave me, when I was struck in the jaw by a serve. Sharon was the only one kind enough to ask if I'd be okay. And I was like "Well, my teeth are still in my mouth and there's no swelling. I guess that means I am." I always say that if the night isn't good, I don't hold out much hope for the next day. I can see that I'll be three for three (in terms of bad days) tomorrow.

PS--Given my mood tonight, I find this quite appropriate.

Packing..... [23 June 2002|02:06pm]
[ mood | annoyed ]
[ music | the steady hum of my air conditioner ]

At this point I'm so fed up with it, I can't stand to even look at another box, suitcase, crate, etc. ever again! I have most of my winter clothes packed, but that's about it. I just want to scream. I can't deal with this anymore. Well, at least my room will look nice once I'm done--there won't be anything left in it!!! Right now I think I'm going to go tanning (yes, again) before I really do scream.

[ music | The 2002 NHL Draft ]

I got the apartment!!! I'm so excited! I found out on Thursday. I came home from work during my lunch break and found a voice mail on my cell phone to call the realtor. So I did and he told me that I'd been approved. This is just incredible. The whole time I was preparing myself to be disappointed. I would have written this before, but I've been really busy. Like today for example. I was up early in order to get some stuff for the new place. I now have most of my kitchen stuff. I probably won't get to choose my furniture for another week or two, till I get the place cleaned up. I wasn't prepared to move this soon. For now I'm going to be packing my stuff and slowly moving it all over. The last thing to go will be my bed. Hopefully I'll be in and settled in about three weeks, but who knows with me. I haven't even begun packing yet.

Another side note. I got my brother's phone number and where he's stationed in the Army, so I can call him whenever I need to. That just made me cry because he's my best friend. I can't explain it, but those of you who have siblings will understand.

Work was just crazy yesterday. We were so busy and just about everything that could have gone wrong, did. At least we survived. We got treats as a reward. Or maybe it was just a bribe to survive the last hour. Anyway, it was gelatis all around. So then I stopped out at my grandmother's house after work. It was getting late and she was upset that I hadn't eaten dinner yet. So then we went to a local restaurant for a late dinner.

I'm in love!!!! [16 June 2002|07:21pm]
[ mood | anxious ]
[ music | theme to Happy Days and Get The Party Started --Pink ]

I looked at an apartment today. It's part of an old house that's been converted. The place is absolutely beautiful. As soon as I walked in the door, I fell in love with it. The realtor said the house was built in the early 1900s. It's got window seats and everything. Its own washer and dryer, too. And even a claw foot tub! Now how cool is that? The only thing is that the ceilings are low and the staircases are skinny. But people were shorter and skinnier in those days, I guess. So anyway, if you guys could please pray for me about this, I'd really appreciate it. I just hope I can make the right decision if I do end up getting accepted for it. The other places were nice, but I just think this one is absolutely enchanting. I should know sometime this week. I'll keep you posted. And again, thanks for the prayers.

[ mood | dorky ]
[ music | Breathless --The Coors ]

I worked. I've decided not to eat hamburger ever again. I talked to some friends. I took a nap. My dad took me shopping for apartment furniture.

Now that was fun. We found some good deals on really nice stuff. I didn't end up buying anything, since I just wanted to get an idea, but it was worth the trip. It better have been, since this place was close to the Pennsylvania/New Jersey state line. I found a lot of stuff that I really liked. My mind is made up on a few of the things I saw. I'm definitely getting the chair and a table for the kitchen as the first things. My dad offered to have the coffee table and mirror built for me. I guess that's one of the advantages to being a business owner, president, and CEO's daughter. And being the VP, manager, and head of the marketing department. It's not so bad. I'm just glad my dad's business isn't my full time job. I'd go crazy for sure. But anyway. There was so much great stuff at this place. I know it won't all match, but hey. Why should I care? I'm not into winning a magazine award for the best coordinated apartment or something. I just like fun stuff. And thanks to some good advice from a friend, I decided to go with a sleeper sofa. I also found one of those that I really liked. Too bad it only comes in one color, but at least it's not something horrible. And the sofa was actually quite comfortable. They have the stuff out on display and the sales people encourage you to sit on the furniture and test it so you can decide whether or not you want to buy it. Now that's cool! What I really need to do is get organized and figure out exactly what stuff I'm going to need and what stuff I already have that I can use. Talk about going crazy. So anyway, I guess that about does it for this entry.

[ music | One Week --Barenaked Ladies ]

Wednesday was so crazy! After work I had dinner with my sister. Even though we ate at a fast food place and didn't have much time to talk, it was still good just to spend time with her. She told me about her fiance. We ended up talking about a lot of stuff. I told her what's been going on lately. It was so weird because she seemed to know exactly how I felt. It was like been there, done that. And she didn't judge me either, which was also really cool. There was so much that I wanted to tell her, but there never seemed to be time. We promised to be better about keeping in touch, so hopefully we can.

I also had my recert and AED update that night. I literally worried myself sick over the practicals. That was rather pointless, since we didn't even end up doing them. That's just wrong, but I can't complain. We had to do three written tests, which was also pretty weird, since it was usually two tests with questions from all three sections. I only aced one of my written tests, but at least I passed the other two. Last year it was two written tests and three practicals. I think the practicals are more important because you can be able to answer all kinds of questions about this, but when it comes right down to it, you have to be able to prove you know what you're doing. And the instructor assumed we only needed update training on the AED. I knew how to use it, but that was only from countless episodes of Emergency! and from hearing stories. I'll probably have to get certification in that, too, come this fall. But at least I know what I'm doing. I just hope I never have to use this stuff.

Today I called the registrar about my diploma. I found out why I never got it. Apparently they lost my graduation application and accused me of never sending it. Now that's a bunch of bull. That thing was sent the first week of classes last fall. That's how eager I was to graduate, even though there were times when I didn't think I'd make it. So after a ten minute argument, the registrar entered everything into his computer, realized that I finished all the required courses for my degree (Duh, dipshit! Why else would I have applied for graduation?), and said that he'd have my diploma printed for me with the December graduation date. He says they needed to order more forms which will be here in about two weeks. The idiot told me I should have my diploma within a month. I will be so angry if it isn't here by July. I'll call him everyday and complain till I get it. I worked too (damn) long and hard for it.

Tomorrow I'm supposed to go shopping for apartment furniture, basically just to get an idea of what I like. Right now I'm debating on whether I want a sleeper sofa or a futon for the living room.

miscellaneous additions to yesterday's entry [28 May 2002|11:18pm]
[ mood | excited ]
[ music | Tom and Jerry on Cartoon Network ]

I talked to my sister during my lunch break, and we're planning to have dinner together tomorrow night so I can hear all about Rob (her fiance). She showed me a picture. They make a cute couple. I probably won't get to meet him until their wedding day, but such is life. Now the biggest challenge is going to be finding a dress for me. One of my friends said anything in blue, green, or purple would look good on me. I was thinking maybe a deep turquoise kind of color. Any opinions?

On Thursday I drove to school to find out where my diploma was. The registrar told me that they were having commencement for the December grads that very afternoon. What a fine time to tell me! Hopefully that'll be in the mail soon. If not, at least I know who to scream at. Last year they sent me my diploma before I even finished all my courses. Now I don't even get one for finishing. That school is so screwed up it's not even funny anymore. I think maybe I'll call them if it doesn't come in tomorrow's mail.

Guess that's it for tonight. I probably should get some sleep since I have a long day ahead of me.

[ mood | okay ]
[ music | Moonraker (For the sixth time.) ]

Once again, it's been a long time since I've posted. I guess this something else I'll have to work on. So anyway. Let's see if I can bring you up to date on what's been happening the last two weeks.

1. I found some really great apartments, so I'll be checking those out soon. All of the complexes are near where I work, so that's also nice. I'll be moving there by fall, at the latest. It'll take me at least that long to get all my junk out of the attic, sorted through, and packed up. Then I have to tackle my room. :-D

2. This item has to do with the volleyball team. Sharon wonders why I haven't kicked Arnie yet, as does Chief (aka Darius). After the games on Thursday, I am too! Kim and Jeff, Heidi and Neal, and Rebecca and Brian haven't been there in awhile. Rumor has it that Rebecca is pregnant, so we're happy for her. Nobody, not even Jen, knows what's up with Don. But then again, he sometimes acts weird like this. There's only a few girls on this team. One of them has a torn ACL. Apparently it was caused by a bone chip from one of the dives she'd taken during a practice.

3. My older sister is getting married in September. I found that out from Dad. It's kinda funny because they're getting married in less than four months and I haven't even met my future brother-in-law yet! All I know about him is what Dad told me. He sounds like a nice guy, so.... But I did see the rock he gave my sister and she's thrilled, so that's all that really matters. Plus they'll only be living about 45 minutes from where I'm moving to. I wish my sister would have told me sooner, but she's got a right to keep it a secret if she wants. And it's my own fault for not keeping in touch like I should.

4. I got a new monitor for my computer today. For those of you who didn't know or have only recently started following this saga, the monitor on my laptop died New Year's Eve. I'd been using an old one, but now this one's being retarded. They had to order the one I wanted, so it'll be here in about two weeks. I can't wait.

5. I got an ice cube tray with thingies for the cubes that are shaped like fish.

6. Next weekend my dad and his wife are taking me shopping for apartment furniture. I'm sort of organized about that. I know how I want the bathroom decorated, so that's a start. Right now the major debate is what furniture I want in the living room and where to put my desk. I checked these places out online, and they look awesome. I just have to take "real" tours, just to make sure that I'd actually be happy living in that complex. We were appliance shopping today. At this point, I don't think I'll have to worry much because my dad's wife kept saying, "You need this, you need this, you need this. Oh, and, you'll need that too. And maybe even one of those." *at this point Jen rolls her eyes* By the time she gets done picking stuff out, I'll have to wonder if there'd be any room for me in the new place!

7. We've found these thermal patches as a temporary solution to the problem I've been having with my knee. What I really need to do is stay out of volleyball for awhile and give it a chance to heal. Plus get knee pads in case I have to take a dive. Right now the biggest fear is that I'll end up like Pam (the girl I mentioned above). That, and if I did, I wouldn't give it the chance to heal. Part of the reason I'm suffering now is because I didn't let my knee heal when I first dislocated it almost three-and-a-half years ago.

8. I went tanning on Saturday, out of sheer boredom. I also got to see the swim team instructor/coach. He's a nice guy, and everybody thinks he is so cute. I guess he's not bad looking, but he certainly doesn't seem to be interested in the lifeguards that think he's hot. Whatever.

9. I also learned a few lessons, but those can be discussed at another time, or (preferably) one-on-one if you so wish.

I used to be so good about updating this thing. Now I end up ignoring it, just like I've been doing to a lot of stuff lately. I was in Atlantic City a week and a half ago. It was fun, even though I didn't win any money. I had a nice chat with Missy on Wednesday. Right now I need to get ready for volleyball practice, although, after hearing this song at work today, I'd rather be lounging poolside at the club, tanning.
