update...

so i haven't posted in a while...but i have been wanting to write a bunch of stuff but have had no time to do so...so this post may be kinda long....

so to start...here is a kewl link...it's very funny, but don't open it if you have children around...it's the dildo song!

i also entered another contest to win a new mustang...wish me luck!

next...here are my horiscopes from the last few days...they have been super accurate and relate a lot about what happened to me at work this past week, and i'll briefly explain why...

#1:
Here is your horoscope for Tuesday, September 20:
You're truly tired of accepting others' lame excuses and listening politely while they natter on about themselves. Finally, you've realized that your time is far too valuable to spend making nice, even if it means you need to be alone for a while.

*i was kind of bitchy at work that day...i just wanted to be by myself and talk to no one...and i was in the lab that day and was by myself so this was very accurate*

#2:
Here is your horoscope for Wednesday, September 21:
Dignity and sanity are high on your must-have list, especially in light of all the recent compromises and sacrifices you've made. Go ahead and declare your independence from the self-absorbed and the selfish.

*i had some issues with one person at work who shall remain nameless and sexless on this blog...basically they insulted me by not letting me do my job and not trusting that i know how to do my job. this person aggrevates me evey time i work with them, and gets very arrogant. i don't get paid enough to deal with their crap. blah.

Here is your horoscope for Thursday, September 22:
If you've been struggling for a while with this new sense of purpose, but aren't sure exactly where to begin, search no longer. Get in touch with your innermost self -- try meditation or yoga -- and you'll know what comes next.

*well i didn't try yoga or meditation but on thursday i was in a super good mood at work and actually worked with people who let me do my job and trust that i can do it well, that made me feel that i have a sense of purpose...and it continued on to friday as well...

so that is the end of my horiscope thing...it's weird when they are accurate though! anyway...yesterday morning my parents, cousin hub and i went to SeSe's house to move Grandma Lucy's bedroom set to our house...it went well, its in our garage now, and i should be moving it into my bedroom soon...i'll take some pictures of it soon and post them b/c its really a beautiful set...it's from like the 1930's. we picked up some more stuff too like kitchen stuff, knicknacks (sp?) and pictures (sniff, sniff). I have this really kewl old picture of SeSe now in my room...its from when she graduated high school or something...it's really pretty...i love it.

...then, last night a bunch of my friends from work came out to celebrate my 25th birthday and Heather's(H's) ?th birthday at the Olive Garden...H's birthday is today and mine is tomorrow so we settled on saturday for the celebration! we were all there from 7-11pm! anyway the following people showed up:
Rachel
Jayd & Mike
Lacey
Mike, Tiffany & Emma
Tina
Leslie
Josette
Andy (Shara's brother)
Hollie & Rollie
Amy & Neil
Heather & Tom
Shelly
Marylisa

Emma was wearing a very cute dress with scottie dogs on it...it was adorable! i tried to take some pictures with my ancient digital camera, but the lighting was really bad for it...so i have no pictures :(...and i am obsessed with photo-documenting stuff so that sucks!...anyway the food was great and we had a great waiter...he was a real smartass...he fit in great with the crowd! so we all had wine and beer and great appetizers and salad and dinners...then shelly told the staff that we were there for mine and H's birthday...so they all sang and brought cakes...haha it was funny...and when i blew out the candle on my cake i made a wish that i really think will come true...

then after dinner Rachel, H, Tom, Shelly, Josette, Tina, Andy and I went to Slick Willies for like an after party...it was fun...we were there till like 2:30am...well everyone except for Rachel, Andy & I left at like 1:30am, then Rachel left at 2am and Andy & I left at 2:30am. I was glad that Andy said that he had a good time, even though he didn't really know anyone...he also said that he would call me so we could get together sometime soon which is good, because he is really nice & a lot of fun! so that's it for now...my grandparents, aunt & uncle are coming over soon to celebrate my birthday so i have to get going...ciao!

shitty long weekend

so i've been so down in the dumps lately and i was excited because this weekend had real potential to be good...there were some bright spots, but it fell WAY short of being good...

I have been sick and I worked all day Friday and Saturday and felt like shit. After work on friday, my parents and i went to Rizzo's for dinner...the food was great, and then we went to Dairy Queen which was good too...but then on Friday night just as I was getting ready to go to bed (at like 8pm since i was sick) I got a phone call that SeSe (my Aunt Fran, she is more like a grandma than an aunt since my mom's mother died before i was born) was in the emergency room...she has been sick for a while, in and out of the hospital, and she stopped breathing at home and they brought her to the ER...so when i got there she had an ET tube in and was on a ventilator and was unresponsive. I was just so pissed b/c she really didn't want any of that...I started crying...it was like I was in a movie or something. some of the people that were there when she was being resusicated were describing it and it was making me really upset and made me feel like i was going to throw up. i just kept staring into space and became fixated on her monitor and the up and down of the pulse ox and heart rate...i felt like telling them to shut the fuck up but i couldn't even talk. some other family members were there and they were trying to make small talk about my vet school plans, and i was nice and responded, i didn't want to act like a bitch, but i really felt like i got ran over by a bus...
i went outside and called some people, no one answered their cells, that sucked...i needed to talk to someone about anything but what was happening in the hospital, but I couldn't b/c no one was available. it made me think of how alone in the world people really are and how i wish i had a boyfriend. i finally got in touch w/ my parents and as they were coming to the hospital i was leaving...i just needed to get to sleep...

on sunday i had plans w/ katie h who i haven't seen in like 3 years...we went shopping at the galleria mall and it was fun...so that was one bright spot in my weekend...then i went home and slept and then at like 7:30pm my mom woke me up and told me that SeSe passed away...so most of sunday sucked too...

today i worked on my vet school applications all day...i'm almost done, i just have a few essays to write...eeerrr...then i went to a get-together at jeanne & scott's house and that was fun...everyone got me in a good mood, especially the kids & the puppies...so this was one more bright spot in my weekend because i really had a good time :)

so the drawing for the mustang that i entered to win and was sure that was mine, was today, and i obviously didn't win because i didn't get a phone call...that sucks. and when i got home from jeanne & scott's my mom informed me that i am doing a reading at the funeral on wednesday...now i am nervous...i don't want to cry in front of everyone at the church but i know that i will and it is going to suck...but i couldn't say no...eeerrr...

i surprise myself sometimes that i can appear so put together and happy when i really am not at all...and this whole weekend leaves me thinking, why does everything always have to be so difficult?!? i really hope that things start brightning up soon...
