excitment

i still have the christmas feeling. it's been forever.  this is like even better than christmas. the only thing that coudl be better is if someone was here that liked this stuff and then i could show it off.

it's like christmas.

i got all this new scrapbooking stuff at good deals. i was so excited about i and to show everyonem about it. it felt like Chrismtas

help

i can't come up with a title for my scrapbook page.

it's the only tiem all year we made an actual meal with meat. we had pork chops, roasted potatoes, and green beans. there is a picture of the porkchops on teh stove, a picture of the can of green beans, a picture of the table set, a picture of each of our half eatten plates, a picture of the half empty roasted potatoes dish, then there are 2 pictures of dave asleep on the couch right after.  dinner exhausted him apparently. all i can come up with is dinner or real food but those titles suck. i need a title. i need suggestions

birthdays

i can't believe felicia's birthday is a weeek before mine (2 years off). does that mean she's also older than her boyfriend. i think so.

weigh graphs

somebody else made a weight graph after I showed him mine.

tonight.

i saw wedding crashers tonight.  i went to shreve's, jeff's and brian's.  we also watched far and loathing in los vegas.  that was a pretty stupid movie.i laughed a lot though. the movie got better once i started drinking.  there was nowhere to park on his street. i got a spot way at the end.  then when i left someone took the last spot on teh street.  it was almost impossible for me to back out and swing the car.

visitors.

ryan stopped by for 2 hours tonight. sheila and jesse visited for a little while. i lsot 2 hours of valuable scrapbooking time though.

minimum wage

NY min wage is now 6.75 which didnt affect me at all but server minimum wage is now 4.45. It was 3.85 before.  I was makign 3.30 when I started.  That was min wage then.  At chesterfields i was only mkaign 2.83 an hour.

snow

in case anyone was wondering. pb's car is AWFUL in the snow. but it is fun when there's almost nobody on the road.
the fieldhouse hill was the worst to just drive on but all stop signs and redlights were REALLY bad. i dropped Kate off and let her walk the rest of the way.

depressing

is it sadder that i leave work and come home and am bored for 4 hours or that sheila stays at work 4 hours after she's done because she says she has no life.

sigh

somehow I dont feel very good at all today
i woke up at 4PM too.

clothes

goosey gets dressed after seeing whta i'm wearing. he puts on the same exact  color shirt. well right after he tells me i dont match (my jeans to my shirt) then i tell him to look at himself and he said "oh i dont match either"

it's just a lighter green shirt with jeans.

grrr

grr i wanted to upload pictures before i went to sleep and the walmart website is down.

ok

i missed my bedtime for the past 2 nights. i've only had a bedtime the past 2 nights.

jesse is back and he turned back on all the christmas lights. it's past christmas

ice

i gave away the ending to my story!

today it was an adventure and a half getting to work. well getting out of the driveway.  the mailman even helped. the frog got stuck on the ice. we couldnt' push it. it didnt' work. one of the back wheels was spinning and the other one wasn't. but then i came up with the idea to push it in reverse then go from there. cuz iw ouldtn have geen able to make the turn anyway.  the back end flew aroudn liek crazy.  luckily when i was told to come to work it was for 4 or 5. well it took 15 min to get out of the driveway. so i got to work at 4:15.  luckily i was heading there for the shorter time. we put salt down. it's still ice. i dotn have an ice pick or anything ot help get rid of the ice. i'm parked on the road now.

work

tonight at work we were't busy but i was on production so it was ok. work was pretty awesome. mike came in to visit. it was fun talking to him. it was awesome because i made a flat rate so it didnt' matter if it was slow.

e-mail

my rcs user id expires 2/15/06. that means no more cherec@rpi.edu

past 4

i missed my bedtime.

weird

this person is on my buddy list and in my rpi category. i have no idea who he is. but he just imed me. i have no idea who it is. i keep talking. i want to know who. i did learn he is in the same frat as some kid that died from rpi over break. and i learned that kids "car accident' was him falling asleep at the wheel.  people need to put at least their first names in their profiles. i tried looking up who this is via facebook but i haven't been successful yet.

recycling

i just saw the Troy recycling truck. it's the first time i've ever seen it.

amazement

i can't believe i'm still up

sleep

tomorrow i'm cutting myself off from the computer at 4:00AM. I would tell everyone to yell at me if they see me on but nobody is on that late. I haven't even talked to anyone on aim since Russ at about 2AM.

I ordered a third set of pictures from Walmart tonight.  THe first two times i got one hourdeveloping and paid 4 more cents per print becuase I dont like to wait.  This last set is the "2 day" one or "3 day" one but on my confirmation it says "Via Store Pickup, will arrive between Thursday, 01/12/06, and Tuesday, 01/17/06."  that's a over a week! I"m glad I didn't do that for the other ones. Last time I was thre I dropped off on a Monday after 3 so then it wasn't done until Friday.  But it might have been a Tuesday.

pictures

some more pictures.  which ones should i get rid of?  which ones should I keep.  I've uploaded 5 new ones in the past day.  and then i kept my default.  also let me know if i should bring back one of the old.

new pictures

i uploaded one new LJ picture so far. I've been busy so I never got to it until now. I don't even know if I like this one that much.

Walmart

Tell me how this makes sense. And too bad i closed the first window with the original confirmation in IE. I printed it out though and I never do that. I"ll write the details for that one after I put the picture of the 2nd one.

These are the details of the 2nd confirmation.


The first confimation had to total to be 9.12 (same)
It subtracted 2.10 for 10 free prints (this shoudl be 1.90)
tax .96 (no way this is right. tax is not over 10%)
total = 7.98

ok i did the math and if you tax before deducting the total of 7.98 is right (using subtracing 1.90 like it should be)

how in the word did they change my confirmation to the 2nd one?

I hope they don't charge me twice. I dont care if I pay the more expensive one since that's right.  I have to wait and see how much shows up on Discover I guess or maybe they'll have the total when I pick up my pictures.

update:sales tax is either 8.25% or 8% i'm not sure. when the number came out right i used 8.25%

pictures of Christmas

Does it look like Maggie is about to cry?


Oh the joy


Is that expression because it's the same present and I did some tricking with wrapping it?

This type of expression is the best one when someone opens a gift you gave them


more pictures

either this card reader is breaking in weird ways or my memory card is kinda broken. all my pictures won't download off of it. i'm still trying. the ones that aren't working are some from today.

people think homemade gifts cost less, but they really don't. i think every gift i've made i've ended up sending more than I would have and one thing i made i could have bought something similiar for cheaper.

discovery.

my necklace that fell off December 10 has mysteriously reappeared.  only the chain so far. it was all tangled up in Dave's chair. THe hard is still missing.

my morning

so i went to sleep about 6am.  phone woke me up at 9.  went back tgo sleep finally abut 9:45. then at 10:05 there goes the phone again. this time i didn't get back to sleep until 11 (more phone calls made) then i went back to sleep and liek 2 min later phone again.  then i went back to sleep right away and didn't get waken up until 12:05 from the phone again

excitement

I already started my Pat Catan's list for when I go with Felicia.

sigh

those pillowcases in the washer sure put a damper on going to sleep. too bad i forgot to put them in the dryer 6 hours ago.

old magazine

my seventeen magazine from september 2000 tells me i'll be a good roommate.  i took a quiz. but really they think a good roommate is osmeone without a backbone so the other person gets everything they wants. grrr.

weight

pigging out over the past two weeks made me gain .6 lbs.

really i'm surpised i only gained that much. i bet people wish they only gained that much over the holidays.

morning

my dad woke me up at 9:51 and I'm going ot try to stay awake.  This might help me get my sleep schedule back on track.  I went to sleep early for me last night. I went in to go to sleep at 4:45AM. Hmm that's not much sleep. I wonder if I will actually be able to stay awake.

My dad called earlier this morning, but I did not hear the phone ring then. He is coming up to the area tomorrow instead of January 15ish. He wanted to know if we still want him to drive my car home or if it's too early.  It is kind of early, but if he doesn't drive it home we will have too many vehicles.

I packed one box last night.  That's a start. I wonder if Timmy needs any folders for next semester.  I'll only ever use them for organizing. But I'm also sick of saving him money.

I've only done one sudoku puzzle in the past few days. I'm slipping.

sigh

i'm still in shock that i actually have to return these. i'm in more shock because i looked up the brand that i have and their website is awful and i can't find out what stores they are at. it seems pretty basic though. i'll try ac moore tomorrow i guess. maybe i'll return the other things tomorrow. i like our craft stores at home.

grrr

the refils i bought for my scrapbook don't fit because they have some stupid extra thing that makes them stick out too far.

job update

or not. i tried calling westinghouse and no answer. i did leave a message though.

panera day 2 12/31

being without internet royally sucks.

panera is so crowded right now someone came and stole a chair from our table.

since i have had no intenret i never got to make plans for tonight.

this should have posted then and then I would not have missed a days worth of posts. i only realized it was sitting on my laptop not posted today. i would backdate it but then people might not notice it.

weird

what's wrong with me? when i'm full, i get a huge headache but my stomach doesnt hurt. i've noticed it a lot in the past week, especially at christmas.

work sucked

for the past 3 days. i made no money. i was bored out of my mind. i should have taken my sudoku books. i made in 3 days what i normally make in one. and i came back for this. and laura didnt' put me on the schedule at all next week. i mean at all. and nobody will switch with me. i'm so annoyed.

yay

i finally have internet at my apartment.

grrrr

jesse turned off all the circuit breakers when he left. so we have no internet. we can't go in through is garage because he shut off that circuit breaker. i am at panera now

Troy

i 'm going back to troy tomorrow. I need to find a way to sneek my scrapbook stuff up to school. i think we need to take that air mattres out of the car. i have to decide what to take upstiars.

Kristin is still here. I'm about to take her home. I started cleanign up my scrapbooking stuff about 45 minutes ago and I'm not done. This si why I thought my mom would kill me. cleanign up at the end of each night is a waste of time. I could have a few scrapbook pages done in that time.

i did a lot of scrapbooking, but really none at all.

i have already scrapbooked christmas eve pictures

i can't believe how stupid i am. i left thigns that school that I need to make Maggie and Kate their Christmas gifts. I could make them at school but then I would also need more things from home and a double move would be no fun.

old

sally made me feel not so old. even though i came up with more reasons i'm old. but she made me feel not as old because she graduated with mike but looks way older than me and has a raspy voice.

i drive like an old lady.
i can't eat much.
i can't talk. Dave says i jumble all my words.
then i forget what iwas saying when i'm asked to repeat it.

today so far.

and it's not even 1pm

my day started with my alarm not going off. well i guess it started off w/ my dad's shower waking me up at 6:15. i went back to sleep though. also i only went to bed at 4:30am but i couldtn fall asleep until after 5. then i spent 3 hours waiting for my car to be done. i couldnt call to say to come get me instead of me waiting because somehow i left my cell phone in the car. now i can't find my job offer paperwork and i have NO idea where it coudl be. my dad said i took it at 8am to put it in my room. this was 8am christmas eve when i got back and then i was trying to go to sleep for the night. i thought i left it with him. i checked my room and everyone elses room but timmy's. no idea where it could be. nobody better have hid it to play a trick on me. dave's paperwork is also in there.

I'm old

Here are a few reasons why or how i'm old.
1. i'm graduated college
2. i have my own car
3. i have to pay for my own car and my own insurance
4. i have to take my car to it's car appointment all by myself.
5. i have to go to the bank myself.
6. high school guys don't check me out anymore.
7. the gutchies i have on are old people gutchies
8. i go to the grocery store to buy my own food.
9. my bra feels uncomfortable before the day is over.
10. i'm sick of my relatives
11. i'm always cold (or hot).

these are just the ones i thought up now off the top of my head. there are probably many more. i can't believe how old i am.

...

I want ims and e-mails. Just because of the holiday I'm out of touch with everyone. I want to know what's going on..

I'm so old. Nobody is even on for me to complain about this with.

further update

took a few more hours. i helped and the sink works. i took gram home. we spetn 3 hours there. I didnt get home until 11. Only Dave and I took her home. I used 78.8 miles driving her to a fro the past 2 days.

Krinin is here now. I drove home w/ her so that i could drive her back and she could drink here.

We took family pictures today so that if one of us dies we have a family picture. That's the reason my mom gave. I'll load them later.

update

spent about 3 hours on the sink. everyone came an hr late. we were still not ready right away for the food. then we started working on the sink again now. still doesn't work. i changed out of my skirt and into work clothes to help.

Christmas

mommy wanted to cancel Christmas just because our kitchen sink is clogged somehow and we can't wash dishes or clean vegetables. mommy is making the scalloped potaotes downstairs now. we wouldnt let her cancel so she had to make due. We are now going to call people to come an hour later though. Wait daddy doesnt want to call people to tell them to come late. he thinks we'll make due. daddy is messing with the sink upstairs.

i just tried to call gram to tell her to adjust her stuffed cabbage but her line is busy. we're trying aunt elaine to see if they are talking to each other

Christmas Eve

just cuz it's liek a holiday or something i don't get ims or e-mails and nobody posts in their live journals.

Krinin, Filtz, Gram, Art, and Judy came over for dinner tonight. I love our new dining room. NEW = our old living room.

presents

pb's mom and shawn didn't want to be around because they didnt' buy gifts yet. money didn't clear until today and then they went to go shopping and sat at a light for 10 min w/o moving and decided to return home. They have it rough w/ his disability and her college. Neither has good credit anymore. It was alright they didn't get us anythign but they felt bad. I wanted them to be happy and open what we got htem. It wasnt' much either but it's a fun time. I didn't get pictures of all the presents. There was camera battery troubles. I think i got them opening all of theirs just not pictures of me opening all of mine or pb opening all of his.

PB thought he had his dad's stuff here and mislabeled it but it was stuff to me. his dad opened it. it was a sad time. I said "oops it seems santa got lost on his way and confused"

pictures

Santa Came to Dave's house already.

Pictures

I am not sure of my favorites


There was warning that Santa was comign and everyone ran and hid.


Look it's a kleenex box and a mountan dew container... what could it be?


She always wanted Mountan Dew. And now we learned where the mountain dew cardbaord came from on the last box.

it's not lingerie.

trip to pa

we're driving home tonight. pb is at poker now. i decided not to go play poker and i stayed here. i talked to his parents a little. and then get everything ready to go. it was really nice talking to them a lot. they usually go and talk while they smoke so we dont all talk so much or we are all watching tv and you can't talk during that.

PB did leave his dad's presents up at school. we did presents here. pb's mom was sad and felt bad because they didn't do their christmas shopping yet.

republican radio

is awful. i can't believe that people listen to and believe this stuff.

car

my car got its first car wash today.

i saw a crossing guard cross about 50 kids today. i was amazed. i saw about 4 crossing guards.

My DMS grade still isn't posted.

We forgot to get PB's Dad a cake.

i guess it's time to get dressed. i will find a way to layer up. too bad i left my long johns at school.

i'll wait until divorce court is over so they dont' change the channel when i'm upstiars.

so PB got a job offer too.

He didn't get the details becuase he was driving. He will learn them tomorrow but then when we got to his house his mom just causally asked about the job and got so excited he got it.

CAPP reports are updated but not sis. I know 2 of my missing grades. Both what I thought. The one that i'm missing is the one i really care about.

today

went by so quickly even though i didnt' sleep. well i fell asleep for about 25 minutes total in three naps in the car. this is a new max for me.

i want my grades. i even got an e-mail from my professor saying some stuff about the class and that grades will be up. they aren't.

i'm bored and hungry. i have stuff to do but it's uncomfortable here.

:)

2 people told me congratulations for being done with college. and i got 4 more for getting a job offer.  my mom did one of each.  that means 5 people.

I'm still awake too

*if nobody asks questions here i'll be disappointed

**i still dont have grades yet so that smile isn't fully there.

this was my away message

if i go to sleep now I have 1.25 hours to sleep. so i'm up and about doing stuff. most likely organizing becuase that is my favorite pastime.

nobody will end up iming it becuase they will still be asleep so i decided to put it here.

grr

I'm getting sick of not having these grades posted.  I need to stop checking half hour.  I just need to wait a few hours and maybe by chance they are there or at least some are.

BTW i'm still up from yesterday.  I figured I might try this all nighter business and see what it's like.

i can't seem to fall asleep. so i decided to check my grades. still not posted.

hmm

Nobody is on am at 6am.

I think 6am would be a good time to post grades but no still not posted.

sadness

that was a rough final. ROUGH

3 hours until the final. i'm going to die. studying does not help. i also barely studied.

sigh

Today I averaged 24% in tips.  I had to clean up throw up and that table only gave me 20%. That kid threw up twice. Once was on teh way to the bathroom.  He was liek 4.  The mom says he always throws up when they go out to eat but she didnt' figure out why. She didnt know if it was from eating too fast or what. It was disgusting.

I will not be able to go to Callie's New Year's Eve party.  I will be working on Mike's and Timmy's Birthdays and the day between. I work at 11 on Jan 1. She originally only gave me Fri and Sun but if i'm coming back just to work I needed more time.

so since i consolidated my loans. they are due 1 month after graduation not 6.  well i guess since i graduation in december they are due in January. Not 1 month after I graduate but one day after since I graduate at the end of the month and they are due Jan 1.  What kind of BS is that?

final in 52 hours

I am not like Russ.  I have not studied for my final yet.  I have watched TV for about 5 straight days. If I was like Russ I'd probably get a B in the course. Or if I was like Russ earlier in the year I might have an A. Too bad studying sucks so much.

sudoku

The problem with the tough Sudoku puzzles is they take longer and so I stay up later.  I always say to myself that I'll just do one more puzzle. Well then it's 30 min later than I thought it would be.  I didnt notice much difference betrween the moderate and the easy puzzles. But tough takes me at least 10 minutes longer. I'll have to test out diabolical sometime soon. I remember when i first started workign on these puzzles the first one took moe well over 2 hours. Now on the same site I have them done all the time in under 15. I need a stop watch to better time myself. It's also hard when I tlak on aim at the same time.

I called in sick for work.

I also have a fever.

ugh

i kept waking up because i couldnt breathe. I had to open my mouth wider to try to get air.  My mouth and hands were so dry. My nose is so raw. and I found the vaseline this monring. at least I have it but I wanted it last night.  My head still hurts.  Advil didn't help.

2nd interview

Jan 5, 2006 - roughly 8:30am - 12:30pm
Lockheed Martin in Niagara Falls, NY

this is the longest 45 minutes ever. i have to wait 45 min for my phone interview then after that's done i can finally sleep.  i'm waiting to sleep  not for the interview.  this interview is not going to go well. i can't even thuroughly think reading LJs.

update: i went to sleep before my interview because I couldn't wait.

sigh

i'm sick.
my nose runs non stop and i have a headache. besides 2 falls ago this is probalby only the 8th headache in my life. 6 of which were in college.

today I wore this dress and this jacket  dont worry i will also have pictures of me from today uploaded soon.

DMS is done done done.

I RSVPed to a Christmas party that starts in 15 min. I dont feel like going.

update: it's not done. i still have to write a member about my contributions.

pictures

Christmas party pictures.  I will upload them to my own gallery once i can reset the password since i forget it.

yup 2 outfits for me.

Wow

Tell me if this ever happened to you.  You were 5 hours late for a meeting but you weres till there for 9 hours of it.  That was way too long for a meeting.
We meet agin tomorrow at 9. Then we present at noon. THen we're done with this class as soon as we finish our memos on what we've done teh whoel semester.

wow was i tired this morning. my phoen rang at 8am and woke me up. i thought it might have been mike so i jumped out of bed. but it was raechel wanting me to work for her this morning. what part of me not working the weekend because i will be out of town didn't she understand. but then i couldnt fall back to sleep because i kept hearing my phone song. it was very annoying. then at 9:30 i tried to wake up again. i had to reset my alarm and that wans't fun. that's the only drawback for heart attack alarm.  but i ended up fnally waking up at 10:13.  and timmy just arrived so i better finish getting dressed.

my necklace

is gone. it was on this morning. it was on and i saw it in the mirror at 11:30. WHat happened to it. I went to class and shoveled.

I'm done with classes. I haven't done sudoku in about 3 days!. Time to start working on one.

Finite Elements.

that test was nothing NOTHING like what i studied.  There went my A. That class was so easy I should have had an A.

i did wear those boots to class. good thing. the snow was thick. our road did get plowed in the time i was at class. i'm hungry now. i still have to finish my crib sheet and study. class was awful. it was supposed to be a review. we learned new stuff for more than half of it. then we only got to 2 example problems.

i'm thinking i might wear boots to class.

We're the only house around here with Christmas lights.

i'm totally done with 2 classes. 3 more to go

o what a

snack

carrots and green peppers. o so yummy right now. i'm sick of all that normal junk food.

thought process

I was in the shower and thought about getting rid of the layers in my hair and just having it all one length.  Now that it's long I thought I'd like that. So after my shower those hair cutting scissors were just sitting right there so you know what i did. I added more layers. Roughly 2 inches off the shortest layer now. Then I trimmed teh bottom layer about 1/2".  So much for not wanting layers.  Now i'd have to chop off 2 more inches to get it all one length.

Russ is making me seem like a super posting slacker.

chocolate covered pretzels are yummy.  they are super yummy where there's only a little bit of chocolate. i'll have to make more later and not eat them all. i have to take them to mike's this weekend.
