FRIDAY have i told you i love them?

It's a Friday on the edge of a three day weekend which will make Tuesday Monday but it will be a good Monday since there will only be three days after it!! (yes that is how my mind works.) I joined that 24 hour gym and so far I like it a lot! I hope to get some yoga in there and maybe kick boxing!! I always surprise myself with how much I love working out. But when i think about it i did so much activity when i was younger it's no wonder at all how i got some pounds on me since then.

Me in 6th grade: Riding bike or walking to school everyday. Walking or riding bike all over town with friends to friends houses. In the spring it was community softball and just as summer started off Swim team was starting and i was on the tail end of softball. so in the mornings i was riding my bike to swim team practice every day for 2 months. Swim for 2 hours (b/c i was not lazy enough to go to the 1 hour practice) then ride my bike home. Then precede to ride my bike every else. As swim team was ending i started community soccer.

Me in 7th-8th grade: Same as above except add School soccer in the fall, School Basketball in the winter, and School Softball in the spring! (yes along with the community stuff as well!) Also in eight grade on the weekends i was helping the high school marching color guard by clearing their flags off the field during performances. (don't even ask how i got into that mess!)

Me in 9th grade: Same as 6th grade except no bike just walking + add school soccer in the spring, I was also in band camp for two weeks in the summer while i was in community soccer. You might want to say band camp is nothing but marching for hours and hours on the field while spinning a giant flag is not nothing!! Also i helped out with winter color guard that year as well.

Me in 10th grade: I started working so i was walking to work most of the time as well as walking to school most of the time. I did not do swim team but i did do community soccer and Softball. I also did marching band and indoor color guard. This is also the year i started working out at the gym.

Me in 11th grade: I walked less to school but i would go from school to the gym and from the gym to work...walking in between to every where. I played community soccer and swim team but no softball this year. But i was working out at the gym everyday!

Me in 12th grade: Not walking anywhere i had a car people! But i was working out at the gym and i did do swim team this year and community soccer. Also this is when i started going dancing to clubs!

The summer after 12th grade: I was running 6-8 miles every night i could. I was playing an adult soccer game on Sundays and i would roller blade whenever i could. Also I Went dancing ALLOT!

Flash forward and since the summer after 12th grade there have been times when i have been a member of a gym and lots of times where i haven't. Times when i would run every night and do work out videos....and more times where i would sit on my butt and watch it get bigger. So you see how going from all that activity to now can cause a girl to gain some weight! So GYM here i come!! (thank goodness it is open 24 hours!)

A letter

Dear Useless Corporation,

You know who you are…. I feel that you are so useless it hurts. I hate having to deal with your revolving door staff that is continually out of the office, unavailable, rude, incoherent, and outright shitty. You may think you are 1# in convenience and I may very well see you take over the world someday, but you getting my money stops here. I should have listened to my 17 year old self and never shopped at your stores to begin with. Thank God a few other stores have still not been steam rolled over by you’re a-hole ethics. Working where I work now gave me a whole new perspective on just how shady you are. Bravo 17 year old self you do know how to call them for what they are.

Too many of your upper class employees continually boggle my mind with how they ever got let out of their caves. I wonder what work really goes on there at "corporate head quarters"….and if you truly know that you're this evil, vile, horrendous, and out right despicable. Just thought I would ask you to look in the mirror.

Regards,
One pissed use to be customer

P.S. dear readers do not spill the beans if you know who the useless corp. is b/c alas i will have to delete the comment.....what with wanting to keep my job and all.

Things I have been doing instead of blogging:

-Trying to take pictures of jewelry treats…..no sun = no photos yet (Katie I feel your pain now)
- Thinking about joining a 24 hour gym….i know when will she shut up about a gym already….when she finds one she likes maybe….
- Watching a perfectly good bow flex get another layer of dust (it’s not mine so I can’t rescue it!)
- Watching a butt slowly spread and become an office butt
- Watching bad television (yeah I hear you sis “watch the tapes then!”)
- Thinking about making the appointments I need…but not actually making them
- Getting the scary scrapping noise checked out on my car at lunch.
- Eating salads, fruits, yogurt, & trying to avoid chips.
- Hanging out with family & Friends….but mostly Family you don’t want to get me started
- Slowly watching my cousins grow older and in some cases meaner (Oy teenagers)
- Crocheting dishcloths like people will actually use them
- Spending tons of time with the Best Mom in the World (maybe I’m making up for lost time or perhaps I hope that I can store the time and never miss her ever again or maybe I just love her so much and can’t imagine a long period of time passing with out seeing her…..ok so it’s a combination of it all)
- Trying really hard to not spend money (this one is super hard)
- Also trying really hard to not spend all my money on smoothies (thank God they don’t open before 10am can anyone say breakfast everyday if they did!)
- Attempting to run then realizing I am out of shape (this one is sad b/c I have never been this out of shape)
- Hoping that I awake one day out of debt and 15 pounds lighter with a beautiful new home for my mother and hell throw in a nice place in NM for my sister if we are shooting for all or nothing why not throw it all in!!
- Thinking about all the work I have left in this life
- Swirling poems around in my mind…writing half of them down….then losing the rest to oblivion

That my friends (ok littlebig calling me out on her blog sis) is why my poor blog has suffered.

IRTC: Work.....Oy some days it's good other days great.....and then there are the days when the clock can't move fast enough and you think everyone has lost their mind....but it turns out only you have lost it!! And i would not say Retail is better....i don'ta lika the people....i wanta to killa them and maka the dog treats with them! But i would trade it all for my old boss who was wonderful!

Blog Blog Blog Blog Blah

I've been blahsy and annoyed so i haven't really blahged in a while. Sorry but soon i will return to my whitty self....bear with me.

this is not what i have been working on

This is just a random poem of the day that sort of tumbled out of my mind...

Oh how cruel you could be
Oh how you deliciously horridly hurt me
You were so nice and sweet
You made my heart skip a beat
But you struck me out of no where
But you’re gone now and don’t care
I still love you like before
I still crave you like you’re a whore
As The sting the pain are still felt
As if I was five and hit with the belt
What did I do to deserve this
What could I have done for you to miss
I’ll still continue to eat you every day
I’ll still love you cereal in every way.

Lazy & busy

I've been lazy & busy so i have neglected my blog.....I'm working on something that i hope to post about soon!! So stay with me here.

Saw Regina Spektor and she was AWESOME! If you have never heard her you should go to myspace or look at my music on this site and click on Regina Spektor. She has a really awesome voice!

Ok I'm done you talk now.

It's Friday so i shouldn't CRY

so Monday started my week with split pants. now i end my week in tears. Should i have just stayed home this week after the splitting pants? NO i suppose not since i did have some fun. I just thought i would never have seen a Friday that i wanted to end so badly by 8am in the morning.

You know when you leave something feeling ahead of the game and thinking "tomorrow will be such an easy day." Only to come in "tomorrow" and eat those very words for breakfast!! Breakfast didn't even wait for Lunch!! That is my crying Friday day.

I am not going to explain it b/c it's a long story and i would like to move on just know that buyers are evil and mean to people that have nothing to do with the actual problem. Grrrrrrrrrr

But lets try to recover the day anyway.

Do a happy Friday dance...please....(ok the owner just called the buyer a dork...hahahaa that made me feel a little better.)

Something else i remember!!

So remember below how I was saying i have things to blog about and then they leave me....well i remembered one of those things!!

Here we go....I am sick of commercials with skinny ladies needing to diet!?! For example there is a Kellogg's commercial this very slim lady with big boobs (i.e. she has a nice body) is in a red dress and she is reaching for the cabinet door and a button pops off from around her chest area.....then the announcer says something to the effect of "right about now your wishing you hadn't eaten such and such instead of such and such..." basically saying that this lady is soooo fat her button popped off....really!? If she is fat then I'm a freak'n WHALE!! So the commercial is saying how if she eats Kellogg's crap for 2 meals each day her weight problems will be over....but she doesn't have any! And if THOSE are the type of people your product works for then I see that really your product doesn't work b/c CLEARLY that lady is skinny and the only reason her button popped off is b/c she has giant boobs!! AHHHHH

Then there is one for yogurt and the SKINNY lady (again) with bathing suit season anxiety....they show her debating over a full coverage suit to hide her "fat" or a two piece....HATE to BREAK it to you commercial people but all your doing is making this person (me) who really is fat (not hugely but I'm no skinny twig) pissed off. If all it took for me to lose weight and look good in a two piece was eating some damn yogurt and cereal i think i would have done it by now. But those Skinny ladies you have in your ads are not by any means making me what to buy your product to lose weight b/c if you are calling them FAT what must you think of ME?!

E Hook thy name is evil.

Last night was spent with my mom and little big sis. We again were making evil dish cloths. Little big sis not only finished the one we had to do but she made another one on top of that. I sadly did not finish mine at all and i believe it is the E hooks fault! Tiny hook! Little big sis kept saying how painful it was to watch. It was also painful to do. Believe me! I stopped when she left b/c mom did not know what i should do. I had a tiny dish cloth in the making more like a pot holder. Guess i wont be making the next one....

Other then that we had a great dinner and dessert. So fun was had by all even if evil e hook and dish rags were present.

On to other things i split my pants yesterday that was so much fun. Lucky for me i noticed before i went to the chiropractor so i was able to change into full coverage pants before my appointment. I keep thinking of things to blog about and they keep escaping me before i reach my blog. I do remember one thing....

So i went to some concerts the past month or so and they all had one thing in common....in between bands or while they were setting up they played the same song! Linkin Park anything. OVER and OVER again!! At the MSI concert they played it at least 5 times in one NIGHT!! I am not certain but i think they were doing a social experiment to see if playing the same song would make the crowd more violent. I now officially hate Linkin Park through no fault of their own until further notice. Bastards! Although come to think of it they do get killed by over play even on the radio. But you know what is worse when two separate radio stations are playing the same song at almost the same time. I hate that!! I hate it because there is no excuse there is plenty enough music out there that your set list should easily be able to differ from your competition! I even hate when they play it right after another...lazy dumb DJs.

High and low points

So my weekend went fast (low) but it was filled (high). Friday night the MSI concert was awesome (high). I know sis they are crass and you hate them but i found them to be entertaining (and maybe the crowd was also entertaining). This one guy had a shirt on that showed the volume levels like a stereo! It was awesome but he was totally moshing and i was like NO don't hurt your shirt!!! But he was all the way downstairs and i was upstairs plus i said it in my head.....

Saturday started out slow b/c i'm lazy. My sister woke me up with shopping invitations (high)!! Before i went shopping with them Dan and i ate at this really yummy Italian place (high)! I had yummy pasta, bread and zucchini! Then he and i went to a bakery for dessert (high). I got a mini conoli. So then i met my sis, her Charles, and the best mom in the world for some shopping fun (high). I didn't get anything b/c all the neat jackets at Value City were too small for me (low). (insert sad music here.) And I had to leave early to meet Dan's sister for The Kills concert (low that was to turn into high).

So this is how it went I got there 25 minutes early and drove around....i called his sis at 7:17 to see where she was. The conversation goes like this:
Me: Where are you at?
Her: Home........What time is it?
Me: um 7:17....
Her: Oh shit I'll be there as soon as i can.
Me: Ok but i can't find the place do you know where it's supposed to be?
Her (with guy she invited in background): Park on Frankford Ave it's at the corner.
Me: OK see you soon!
At this point I'm still fine.

So they arrive and we get to the door its sold out (high). Awesome right....no not so awesome....because the guy she invited didn't have a ticket he was hoping to get one at the door.....So 3 people + 2 cars + 2 tickets=me leaving (low with a little high). NO she did not ask me to leave but it only made sense. I drove by myself, didn't really know the band, didn't pay for the ticket, and lived fairly close by. So i go but the best part hasn't happened yet....I got LOST in NE Philly (low). Awesome. So my 30-40 minute drive home turned into 1hour 30 minute drive home (low low lower)! OY! But apparently the band sucked and they ended up leaving early so i did not miss anything at least PLUS I'm not that broken up about it shit happens and if your a friend or hell even a good person you understand that it's when the person intentionally hurts you that it sucks but she did not do any of this on purpose PLUS PLUS i insisted on leaving them to go together b/c the guy would have sat around till it was over b/c she was his ride.

So once i found my way home i picked up the golden compose so i could watch that (high)! :O) It was good but the ending was not right. Also if you did not read the book good luck understanding the movie. It jumps around so much and they don't have time to explain things so Dan was like....um what is going on? So i don't know if they will make the other movies or not. So that was the end of my Saturday night.

Enter Sunday. I am up by 10am (which for me is early if i don't have work or other morning obligations), b/c i am meeting a friend for lunch at 12. So i get ready and I'm on my way (high). I get yummy pizza good conversation and some neat tissues (the box is neat i get excited by tissue boxes... so!!) (high oh so very high). I return home in a fairly good mood to find Dan has eaten onions (low). I can't kiss him for like 2 days when he has eaten onions. His mouth taste like a dirty shoe (yeah I've licked dirty shoes....OK no i haven't but i imagine the taste based on the smell). He thought i would not be home for a while.....but eating onions effect someone for more then "a while." So i ask him if he wants to go get ice cream and go to Value City with me b/c this is a different Value City and maybe they will have the jacket i liked in my size. He says yes!! We go i find an awesome black jacket (High). It is $9.99 (high high higher)!! We get a chocolate soy smoothie (high)! and we head home to watch a movie (High). We start to watch the movie and we can't even watch 5 minutes of it b/c it's super cheese ball someone made it at home bad (low)! So i return it (low) but it was free anyway (high sort of). And i spend the remainder of the day finishing my laundry (high for me i <3 clean clothes)!!

And there is my weekend in a not so nut shell nut shell!

Trying to be happy

So the surgery went well….so far. Pain….lots of Pain today apparently. I wouldn’t know first hand as it is not happening to me. He seems ok but every little thing is worrying me….i guess that’s what happens when someone you love gets a procedure done….big or small they all seem to have the same effect on our mind. I could list some of the things I worry about but what is the point I just need to NOT worry and just keep an eye on everything. Of course it would be easier for me to watch him if I was not going to 2 shows on the next two nights. But we live with a LPN and a student studying to be a doctor. Tonight he will be going to the movies with the aspiring doctor….that should ease my mind right?

I suppose my # problem was ready this awful article on the mistakes hospitals and such make right before his surgery! Oy! Why did I read that dumb thing? So let me MOVE on…..

Conversation just had:
Owner: “I lost 2 pounds.”
Me: “that’s good!”
Owner: “well 2 pounds on me is like you getting a haircut.”
Me: “but it’s something….better then nothing.”
Owner: “yeah I’m trying.”

Crazy guy! But aren’t all business owners a little off? Tell me the truth don’t they all seem like they are going a little crazy? And most of them wear awful clothes like my sister was saying. They own this successful businesses and dress like all they can afford is the thrift store….but not even the neat stuff you can sometimes find at the thrift store but like the stuff that they should not even be charging people for. So far I have only met one so far that breaks this rule. My old boss…or THE BEST BOSS IN THE WORLD! She dressed really cute and she was enjoying being a business owner, she was the type you would see and think owning a business can be fun! I miss her.

Gosh my blog is depressing today…..


Let me end on a good note….IT’S FRIDAY!! (and they all did the FRIDAY dance and lived happily ever after.)
