Have yourself a Merry little Christmas -- Carpenters |

I can't believe it is 1 am! I am in that place where you are tired but not. I did again sleep a lot of the day *lol* but it wasn't all totally uneventful -- Talked to Dezi on the phone which was nice and then this evening Mom and I went to Super K which was fun and good for me. It was nice to get out of the house and nice to see all the Christmas out and about. Plus I really need to be walking more, I mean it is really the only thing I can do at the moment and I don't do it enough. I can layout all the excuses; like I don't feel comfortable walking around my neighborhood and the house just gets boring but I just need to do it no excuses! But anyways after we got home from the store I baked some chocolate chip cookies that came out really good and not a burnt one in the batch *lol* and we had flavored coffee and watched Frosty the Snowman. It was a really great night.
It is starting to feel a lot like Christmas -- I LOVE it! <3

Wow I am here -- it has been a long time! Time is a very funny thing and I would swear that as the older you get the quicker it seems to go by. Speaking of time I have has a lot of time lately. I had back surgery July 8th and have been recovery since. So no work, have to be in a back brace if I am anywhere but in bed -- no bending, twisting, lifting ... nothing. I am not really sure how I feel about it, I guess you can say it is a love-hate/bittersweet thing. I mean it is always nice to have time, to be able to rest and just do the things you want or nothing at all. Who wouldn't love that, right!? But then there are parts of you that want to say 'you know your so called freedom is just a closet full of limitations', then comes the frustrations -- the bitter-hate that wants to be able to freakin' reach something when I want it that I can't, not have to wear a back brace! The back brace isn't all that bad, you even get somewhat used to it after a while. And I know it's all for the best and I do not regret having surgery because even though I am still in pain, still taking pain meds it has helped. I see my Doctor again Jan. 19th so who knows maybe then there will be more bone growth and I won't even have to wear the brace anymore. You never know. Although I have to say I am not all that thrilled about the thought of going back to work, I suppose most people would feel this way -- love/hate, something else to add to the my anxiety. Sometimes I wish I could just turn my mind off, like a switch, that would be nice. So I am here, I am back because I want to be and because I think I need to be. And with that said it is getting late and I have a headache and should probably get to bed anyways.

| * Eclipse Book Signing * |
[25 Aug 2007|10:59pm] |
I am so tired but I wanted to write before I head to bed. Kathy and I went to a book signing at Borders for Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. I swear those books are my new obsession and to think I have only read the first one so far! Anyways, the book signing was FUN and it was really cool listening to Stephenie talk and answer some questions even though it leaked some spoilers *lol* We were in the last group to get our books signed but it went fairly fast and we met a couple girls in line that were a lot of fun to talk to which also helped to make the time pass. We got all of our books signed and while I didn't get to say much and I am not sure she even heard me I thanked Stephenie for writing these amazing books (not in those exact words), silly sounding, cliche even, but I had to say something! When you were leaving after you got your book(s) signged you got to pick either an 'I Love Edward' or an 'I Love Jacob' button -- needless to say who I chose...Team Edward ALL the way!!! At least for now anyways... Hopefully Kathy and I will have a chance to start reading New Moon sometime this week! But yeah it was a good night, my first book signing and I was happy Kathy and I got to do it together it makes it even more special.
Oh and not to mention Mom and Dad came home tonight from VA, its good to have them home although I guess walking around in my underwear is out now *ROFL*

So I have decided that the New Year must actually begin in February. I mean seriously, January is a month that we are all still getting over the past year! Call it a transition month if you will. It's January that we end up making the same mistakes, repeat the same downfalls as the previous year, break any New Year's Resolutions that might have been made and give up! So February is my open door and I fully intend on doing this right.
~*~New Year's Resolutions~*~
2006 *Results*
1. Write in my Journal More
2. Lose Weight//Get Healthy
3. Read 10 Books
4. See Bon Jovi in Concert
5. Finish Class and take another
6. Watch the Following 6 Classic Movies
*Gone With The Wind
*The Sound of Music
*Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
*The Graduate
*Some Like It Hot
*Laura
As you see last years choices didn't go over too well *lol* I still need to really sit down and make this year's which I will do soon! Hopefully I will have more scratched off next year. *Geez* LOL!
Well I am going to rest for a while, been fighting off a cold -blah- Feeling a lot better than I did though, just tired ZZzzzz...

It's late and I am tired but I wanted to write a quick entry saying that my Dad is thankfully doing ok. They said something about him just having gas pockets around his heart but that his heart is fine. However I guess his blood sugar also is out of whack and he needs to get his diabetes under control. He went down and applied for some Veteran medical assistance because since the whole accident with his work he hasn't had any medical insurance. He had just stopped taking his diabetes medication altogether which obviously is not good! Thankfully the workers comp pays for all the expenses to do with the injury or I cannot imagine...*Yikes* Anyways the Veteran assistance or whatever it is called are really helping him with everything and it's wonderful.
As for my health, things have been ok. A little dizzy from time to time, not sure if it is Vertigo or Med. related but I am dealing. I have been sticking to my guns and trying to eat healthy and I rode the bike so far once this week for 30 minutes. Better thank nothing of course but I should be doing more! Oh and I also lost 5 pounds :) It's a start.
And on that positive note I think that I am going to try and catch some ZZZZzzzz

Wild Horses -- Jewel |
] |
"...Faith has been broken
Tears must be cried
Let's do some living
After we die..."
I love Jewel's version of that song (Wild Horses) <3 What to talk about first...My Dad was not feeling well last night and ended up going to the hospital and having to stay the night because they want to do some tests in regards to his heart because of his history. Last I heard today he was still waiting on the test. I am worried as is expected but I am sure everything will be ok, so I guess you can say I am thinking positive. Health has not been in favor in our house lately though. A couple weeks ago I woke up to get ready for work and literally could not walk, the room was spinning and I was completely dizzy. I thought if I sat down and woke up more it would help but it did not! It was really scary and I could barely make it into my Sister's room and then there was vomiting and the whole Fun experience! It didn't get better in a day or so and I ended up having to go to the doctor and I found out that I have what they call Vertigo. Not at all as fun as the U2 Vertigo tour let me tell you *lol* Anyways, they gave me some meds, told me about some head exercises and I am feeling a lot better! I think I am pretty balanced now, at least for the most part. But from what I hear it tends to come back...I am crossing my fingers that it doesn't but at least if it does I will be prepared. On other news when I went to get checked for the Vertigo I found out that I am Diabetic...So that is not too good. It wasn't a shock, it runs in my family and I kinda thought I was for months. So now I have to take some medicine for that as well as my blood pressure. I know I sound washed up at 26! *Yikes* But seriously, I am really trying to eat better and now that the Vertigo is under control or gone...however you would put it I need to start exercising. Self control, choices...I am really trying to use those tools and I guess a bright side is I will lose that unwanted weight after all! So that is pretty much what has been going on with me. I am actually going to rest for a while and wait for some News about my Dad.

"Story of a Girl" -- Nine Days |
] |
This past week was tiring but made it through. Work has been ok, getting up at 4 am and having to work at 6 am is hard but it is nice getting off early. Been working 5 hour shifts which I guess is what shelvers work and its good but I cannot get the whole 'my life is going nowhere' from being stuck in my head! It's like, it's good I have a job because of all the obvious reasons but I am in the same boat I have always been in. I am tired I guess and where is the drive, the desire and the will to change something!?
Anyways...
To totally top my week my Neopets account was frozen! It is depressing :( I mean I have been playing that game for over 6 years of my life and its something I really enjoy. I feel so let down and yes it's a game...but I cried. This is what it said:
"This account has been FROZEN for the following reason:
This account was one of many being used by the same owner to earn Neopoints..."
Obviously not true but they froze every account that is used from our IP address so I am sure they are seeing my Sister and my Dad's accounts and thinking 'we' are one user! We all filled out the forms that they have you do if its some type of error but I guess we will have to see what happens. *sigh* Well, now I can be extra thankful for discovering Marapets, LOL! It doesn't erase that fact but at least its something fun to do that is similar and a great distraction...
Well I am going to watch some more of the Degrassi Marathon with Mom and Kathy so I will wrap this up for now. I mean you know I have to find out what happens after Emma's eating disorder...lol, I LOVE that show!

It is barely 2:30 pm and it feels like such a long day! I suppose that is what happens when you have to get up so early. Was just looking at my website and I really want to redo the layout and get back into all that. So many fun things to do, and so little time in a day *lol* Work was ok today, one of the managers made some comment about 'people taking their time today' when passing by me but it was only like 6:05 am (we clock in at 6 am and it was my first time so it took a minute) when I was going to get my cart and I was the first one the rest were still clocking in, etc. So I don't know if he was talking about me or someone else and perhaps just making the comment to me...GAH! I believe I just smiled with a lite laugh 0_o It annoyed me but Kathy said not to even worry about it. I don't know, it still bugs! Oh and then after shelving Self-Help I decided to take on a challenge, a very FULL cart of Teen/Kids!!! It was awful, shifting, shifting, shifting and NO room! I worked so hard and squeezed as much as I could in, in the time that I had but I swear it looks like nothing was done :( I feel so unaccomplished. So yeah, work was ok...but I am just super tired. Probably should take a nap, before I pick a battle I don't really want to fight! I already am irritated with someone in my Club on Marapets, I know...stupid for letting people I don't know upset me...but again I am tired and its hard to understand if you don't know what I am even talking about when it come to Marapets, Clubs, etc. *LOL*
Anyways...
That nap is sounding extra good ZZzzzz...

Today has been one long tiring day! Getting up at 4 am. is hard -blah- Work was ok, I shelved Self-Help and Travel which was ok and the time went by and at least I felt somewhat accomplished. Being new and not know where everything goes has its demands, and I don't want to seem super slow *lol*
Anyways...
I came home and fiddled around on my computer and was so tired I decided to take a nap and totally zonked out for hours, I need it but then I woke up with a terrible headache which just got worse and worse *ick* I still have it but it has eased up a little, but I am ready to go back to bed! Lucky thing is though, I just work tomorrow and then I will be off for 2 days *YaY*
I am getting excited about the new Sims 2 Pets coming out! :) I believe it comes out in October *wh00t* I haven't put my Sims back on my comp since my recent computer issues but I may do that tomorrow after work and get back into playing. I also will have serious dling to do *Yikes* I always say I will be more picky on my dling and then end up with only a million downloads *hehe* Okay, maybe not a million...but a lot! I just hope I can make it through a generation without some issue happening! It always seems to happen when what would be my 2nd generation is only a toddler -kicks- I guess we will see.
Cannot end this entry without mentioning the whole 'Pluto is NOT a Planet' surprise! Okay well it is considered a 'Dwarf Planet' (whatever that really is) LOL! I have always been fascinated with Astronomy and to think after what is it, 66 years we find that we have 8 Planets technically in our Solar System! It's interesting to say the least. 8 does seem like a better number *LOL* Lots of changes to be made in good old history books, etc. Not to mention how it will effect Astrology! Erm, your sign now rises in a 'Dwarf Planet' Hmmm...
And on that note I think I will go play Mara for a bit and then off to bed for me ZZZzzzzz...

So wow seems my goal of trying to keep my journal up hasn't actually went all that well *lol* Cannot seem to keep a written journal or on-line -ponders if I am a lost cause- *hehe* I am here again, lets see how long it last... Any-who, to try and recap everything in the past few months would be insane, not that my life is full of excitement.
Well I turned 26, although I really do not feel it at all, except the whole agony of my life really has no direction...blah, blah, blah syndrome! My birthday was awesome! Kathy made it this whole pinup theme, my cake had a Jennifer Janesko beautiful print on it and OMG! ... I got an autographed copy of one of her books <3 Not to mention I also got Burlesque and the Art of the Teese Fetish and the Art of the Teese! She even had these little magnets made with some various Janesko prints on them and everything was red and pink, oh and with a touch of hearts (stationary, paper weights, etc)... so sweet and special. I am lucky but most of all lucky to have my sister *sigh*
I just started working at the bookstore with that Kathy works at, only been 2 days and its minimum wage but better than nothing! Everyone seems pretty nice so far and it is a little overwhelming not really knowing anything but am learning :) I keep seeing so many books I want though *lol* Bought some magazines today including Alias, at least they haven't dumped that too *crosses fingers* Speaking of which I got the 4th Season of Alias also for my birthday, at least I have my DVDs so when I get to needing my Alias fix I can just pop them in!
All and all not too much going on, still don't see my few friends enough, still addicted to Neopets and now Marapets *LOL*
 Virtual Pets | Games
Oh and we also now have DVR (like TiVo) and it is awesome! Been DVRing the whole Degrassi marathon and even got my Mom hooked on that show! Gah, but we won't even touch the whole Mom subject right now as we are again and again not on the best of terms. But like I said, not getting into all that now. And I think I will wrap this up for now and on my last note about happenings on my hiatus my Grandpa passed away in June. It is sad, but I know he is in a good place and he lived an amazing life and there is somehow comfort in that. -Love you Grandpa-

Here I sit, kicking back and playing Neopets *lol* I had a bad tooth ache today and took a vicodin, so now I am sleepy. The good thing though is that the pain has subsided for the most part. You know its bad when I couldn't even finish my Mcdonald's fries and sundae! LOL I didn't need them anyways.
Class was pretty good today, we finished watching The Miracle Worker. For some reason; even since I was little I was intrigued by the story of Helen Keller. Now I want to rent the movie so I can relax and watch it. We were also handed out a new assignment yesterday to work on a presentation to do with "Special Needs". I am working on Bi Polar, which is interesting and the more I read the more I say...hey maybe thats me. Although I am sure it's not, it couldn't be *lol* We get to work with a partner which is always good especially when you are up there in front. Belinda has been absent though, she doesn't even know we have a project LOL! I really should give her a call. Oh yes, and lets not forget to mention how the Pinata is going...well when I went to work on mine in class today come to find out it had began to deflate! And for those who may not know, that's not a good thing *lol* So needless to say that hunk of newspaper went to the trash and all the mess and work of yesterday was a waste -blah- So I started a new one, made it a tad smaller and got pretty much the first layer done in class. They are due next week and even though she will let us work on them on Monday I brought mine home to work on and Kathy will help me so it will be fun *hehe*. But yeah, Pinata Drama!
-Mom just came home-
Starting sh*t as always, and this time I seriously did nothing but say hi! It's like she shunned me, with a quick hello and running off...her excuse was because she didn't want to start anything! WTF...I mean it's not like we have been fighting!? I mean her and Kathy have been into it, but that has nothing to do with me and NOW her so called not wanting to start anything is exactly what in fact started something! If that isn't irony for you.
-Dad comes in here-
Loud voices...back and fourth...
He just doesn't get it!
I feel like crying.
I think I am just going to go to my room and lay down.

"Get right with the Man" --Van Zant |

I am about to head off to bed, but figured I would drop a few lines before I do so.
Today was just another average day, aside from all the protesting. Quite a few people didn't show up for class today I am guessing for that reason. I am not sure how I feel about the whole thing, I try and see it from all the different angles and points of view and I am just stuck on indifferent I suppose. However, and this may sound spoiled, and just plain trivial but I was very annoyed that that the one day I decide to order Pizza from Pizza Hut that they weren't delivering...WHY...because they had NO drivers! LOL, now that is just plain sad! They wanted to know if we wanted to come pick it up and I was like no thanks! I mean if I was going to go out and get something it surely would not have been Pizza Hut and beside the price of gas is killing us!! So yeah, no pizza for me today.
On another note, we starting making Pinatas in class today...I wasn't really into it at first, mainly because it was too early and I was just being lazy; and the first balloon popping in my face wasn't exactly a plus...and YES it hurt! But all in all once you get into it, its pretty fun...but very messy *LOL* Tomorrow the Pinata madness continues...4 layers of newspaper to go, GAH!
Well enough of my jabbering, better be catching some ZZZzzzzzz...

Was just playing my Sims game and for some reason my computer totally just rebooted itself! Gah! Luckily I was just trying to build a community (Marilyn Monroe themed). So my progress should not have been lost, but we will see tomorrow. I think it may have been some house that I downloaded, because right before it happened that house was giving some type of error so I deleted it and tried to replace it on a lot and BAM...reboot...anyways always some drama with my love-able Sims.
I am so happy that tomorrow is Friday *wh00t* Its been a rough week and I am tired. I had woke up in a really bad mood today, but when I got to the Pre-school it was better and all in all the day turned out okay. We had Pizza and it was so cute to watch them eat it, this one little boys slice of pizza was bigger than his face so when he picked it up to take a bite it completely cover it *lol* It was adorable. I also found out that Little Caesars Pizza has the BEST cheesy bread ever! I am in LOVE...
Kathy and I watched Yours, Mine, and Ours (remake) tonight and it was really cute! We even got teary eyed at some parts, which is always a plus hahaha! It was good. Rating: ****
Well I better be getting to bed, do have to get up early *YaY*... Not.

"Main Theme Piano" ---Silent Hill |

Before too much time goes by let me make note that we did end up going to Silent Hill the movie on Friday (April 21st). It was good, but I have to say I think only true Silent Hill gamers can really appreciate the whole grasp of the film. After all Silent Hill is a complicated place *lol* They stayed pretty true to the games which I liked except maybe the fact that they went hog wild on special effects and added a little too much gore for my taste. A few things could have been added to make it better, and some could have not been put in at all...but then that is true for most films. But over all I liked it and being the obsessed Silent Hill fan I am I will of course buy the movie when it comes out on DVD. Rating: ****

I have had to pee for well over an hour really bad and yet I am too lazy to get up and go...how sad *lol*
I am about to hit the hay, and maybe watch one episode of Days because I literally am running out of tapes to tape on *LOL* I gave up on Lost, not on the show just at trying to figure out which episode was first *yada, yada* We have just decided much like 24 that we will wait until it comes out on DVD to watch. Am missing it though -sigh-
We watch The Fog tonight and let me just tell you that its nothing to write home about. Netflix rating...probably 2 Stars! Selma Blair looked pretty though. Tomorrow is the opening of Silent Hill the movie *YaY* Kathy, Dad and I are going to go watch it :) I am really hoping it is good and that they don't screw it up somehow! By the looks of the previews it looks really good and will be true to us fan -crosses fingers-.
Well I am off to bed.
