"one more outburst sir..."

I'm about done with work. (Okay. Not really. But sometimes it makes me feel better to say that.)

Anyhow. My feet are killing me, I'm pissed at Ethan, and I'm hungry. Oh yeah, I still have homework to do. Nice. And my shoulders hurt. (Yes, I'm very whiney tonight. Deal.)

In other news, I'm not looking forward to work tomorrow night, simply because I'm just fucking tired of working. Honestly. I worked 2 shifts today (I made some serious cash money today, though.) And...yeah. I'm tired. I just need to sleep.

Anyhow. I'm out of here. I need to get off the Interweb here, and go do some work. I need to work on factoring equations and shiz for math class. (I hate math. Have I mentioned that before? Because I really do. I hate it like I hate peas.)

Okay. I left for a minute (or 5) because I got sidetracked. Anyhow.

mmmhmmm

Wowza. What a long week it's been, huh?

Today was lovely-I was up at 7:30 (nice) and was at Meijer by 9:30 (I'm smoove.) I got a few things, stuff I like, new stuff to try. I was a good girl and tried to stick to my list of stuff I needed/wanted. I got some amazing body wash. It's the Johnson and Johnson Melt Away Stress stuff. I have the lotion, and love it, so I figured the body wash was a good addition. It's soooooo nice. Now, I just wish I had a giant bathtub to soak in....*sigh* Someday.

I need a new book to read, but I'm lazy and didn't go to the library today, and most stores in the near vicinity are closed (campus bookstore, and there used to be a cool bookstore downtown, but it closed. BOOO!)

I took a nap today. It was kind of nice. I miss taking naps. *yawn*


Random thought-I really enjoy Walgreens. I just kind of like wandering around. They always have a ton of cool stuff there. It's like a dollar store, just cooler. (I like dollar stores, too)

I'm kind of hungry, but my tummy feels a little funny, too. Not cool.

Mmmmm Jimmy John's sounds good right about now. Hmmm...maybe I'll go get some soon. I dunno.

Okay. Enough talk. Later all

same bat time, same bat channel..

Ahhhh....Back into the swing of things, sort of.

I feel a little more normal, because I'm back at Ethan's. I miss his bed soooo much (it's a huge California King). His bed is so much nicer than my dinky little extra long twin....I'm looking forward to snoozing in it tonight. I just need an extra pillow, I forgot mine. (I keep an extra set of most things here at Ethan's: a spare set of clothes, a body pillow, a regular pillow, all that good stuff. Makes it alot easier to go back and forth between the dorms and his place.)

I've missed the Weasel. I'm looking forward to playing around with him tomorrow morning/afternoonish before we have to leave.

This week hasn't been too terribly bad. Classes are going well, work is going alright (I'm FINALLY getting to do some catering. Took long enough, haha). Things are looking good. Let's hope the rest of the semester goes this smoothly, eh?

Alright, time for some 'jams, I daresay. I'm a very tired little bear tonight.

*sigh*

So, it's been about a week since the last update, and I'd bet it'll be another week before the next one, too.

Things have been insanely hectic, and I'm still trying to get my balance of work/sleep/classes going. I'm hoping that by next week, my schedule will be all "normal".

Guess that's it. Just saying I'm alive, and still kicking.

deep thoughts, and what have you...

First, we're gonna cover some deep thoughts written on my friend Ray Charles' stalkerbook thing.
One:
"I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that."
I have no idea where that came from, who said it, anything like that. But yeah. That's a good deep thought, about love, and stuff.

Two:
"When I first met him, I knew in a moment I would have to spend the next few days re-arranging my mind so there'd be room for him to stay."
Again, no source, anything. But think about that one. It kind of makes me think of Ethan, and when we first met (yeah, I'm getting a little sentimental here, bear with me.) Those first few days when we only exchanged emails/IM's were so full of information. I remember that I checked out his profile on Myspace, to find his name (it was there, kind of stuck in there) and when he IM'd me, he was surprised I knew his name. Hehe, I'm a good little fact finder.
But, I digress.
A few deep quotes to think about, then we'll get to the deeper stuff....

Deeper stuff:
Whatever happened to us being "adults", and not having to keep stuff hidden from people? Being that we're "adults" shouldn't we also hold ourselves accountable to our actions? Not pass them off on the other person, make them clean up after us? And, while we're on topic about being "adults", why is it that we can't use "adult" words? Like, "business" words (no, I don't mean like "small business" terms, I mean like "this is serious business" words) and actual words, not code terms, and hiding the words from ourselves. It's like if we use our actual voices, we'll ruin it, and everything will blow up in our faces, and it'll all go to Hell in a handbasket. What's that all about?
This whole scenario made me think alot, about all sorts of things (no, I won't talk about
what it is, it's personal, and private, but I needed to air my brain out.)

Okay. I think that's enough deep thoughts for this post. My brain feels better, and I think I'll finish up on here on a lighter note, or two.

Today is my oldest niece's first birthday. Wowza. Hard to believe my nephews/nieces now are ages 3 1/2, almost 3, 1, and 5 months. Plus, the one that's coming this fall. Nuts.

Yesterday, I tell Ethan I want French Toast for breakfast/brunch/lunch, whatever the hell you call it. So, we miss going out, because of him having to work. This afternoon, we got up, and went to lunch. I got to have my french toast (and bacon. and hashbrowns. lol) Ethan had steak and eggs, and a beer. Haha. I like going out to eat with him. It's nice to actually sit down, and enjoy a meal that neither of us have to cook, or clean up after.

I got a new comforter. It's pale pink, and it was on sale. As much as I love my old comforter, it's getting too old (it's beyond "threadbare" haha) I think it's quite nice.

Okay. That's it for now.

September Morn....

Ahhhh, one of my favorite months as arrived. I love September, but I do really enjoy October. The air smells fantastic! All dried leaves, and clean air. Love it.

In other news, classes have started, as has work. Work is going well, the first few days were a little rough, trying to get everyone in sync. We have quite a few new employees, and things have hanged a fair amount, so it's a bit hectic. But, it's not too bad.

As for classes, they're pretty good. I think I'm really going to enjoy them. I've got some really cool professors, and the class topics are pretty sweet as well.

I'm over at Ethan's right now, for the long weekend. He came over last Sunday, and I made dinner (spaghetti and meatballs. I make mean meatballs, lemme tell ya.) We got to hang out (mostly just watched TV, like usual, haha). He picked me up last night, he had to get his hair cut, so we went to Jude's over by Rivertown. Now, I think the place is awesome. They do a damn fine job, it's really nice, but you can tell it's geared towards men: the chairs are NOT made for anyone with hips, or even some curve to their thighs. I was more than slightly uncomfortable. Not to mention that we had to wait 45 freakin' minutes, and the hair cut/shampoo/etc took another half hour!!!!! Thankfully, I had brought reading material, and they had the TV on. (Of course, it was on ESPN. One of the channels I block out on my TV at home, because I don't watch it.)

Anyhow. After that ordeal, we went to our favorite Chinese place, Chu's. Although, now it's called "Good Taste" something or other. It's amazing. Yeah, I think I might have to go get the rest of my chicken and rice from last night, I'm getting a little hungry.

Ugh. I've got tons of laundry to do. (Mostly Ethan's) I've got easily 3 more loads to do. *shakes head* That boy goes through more clothes than I do....Nuts.


Okay. Off to call my mother, I haven't talked to her about a week, she's probably convinced I've fallen off the face of the Earth, haha.
