So it's been a day for chores. Which is not how I intended the day to be, but it's just sorta turning out that way. First I had to do laundry. Actually, really, I had to laundry a couple weeks ago, but kept putting it off. I still need to wash my blankets, but at least my towels and clothes are clean (it took 3 loads). Then I made some more fruit fly cultures, ordered some more fruit fly media and some other stuff for them, vacuumed my floor, and squished some plastic bottles to be recycled later. It's only 1:30 and I've spent about $130. ugh.
This week I work every other day. Which is annoying. I mean, couldn't they have given me at least 2 days off in a row?
We think Sasha is sick. Her eyes are all gunky and she's been VERY cuddly and calm. It's kinda nice, but I still hope she gets better soon and is back to her old self. It's been driving Matthew crazy cuz she keeps wanting to sleep on his arm while he's playing the computer, which doesn't really work because he has to keep moving his arm, but then she gets all upset, and he hates to upset Sasha! She tries to do the same thing to me, but I just kick her off. I've tried telling Matthew that she is only a cat, but he doesn't listen. Silly boy.
I need to go to Target later. So I can spend even more money, yay!!
Life is expensive.

*cries* RIP little Camry!!
It's the saddest thing ever!!
I sold my car. To a junkyard. For $200. :( *snif* I'll miss you little Camry!!! I loved you so much!!!
Stupid thing drove perfectly on the way to the junk yard too. As if to mock us. With its new tires and new registration.
Whatever. Dad promised me that once I got rid of the Camry he'd go buy a Forester and give me the Corolla. Of course, he was a little tipsy when he said that, but that's ok. Mom said that that's alright, he just has to come down here and buy one. I think I might call him now. I work lunches for the next couple of days, so that would be a good time!
Yay!!
Anywho.
I talked to Carina for a bit today. She seems to be doing well, so that's good. I guess she even turned down morphine and is only on vicodin, so she must not even be in much pain, and all her doctors are optimistic. :)
Matthew and I went and saw Eagle Eye yesterday. It was kinda funny, we went to a movie because he had free tickets, and we went to Red Robin because he was craving a sandwich, except we went to a different theater so we had to buy our tickets, and he got a chicken breast and salad, not a sandwich. Silly boy. It was an alright enough movie. The whole thing was pretty silly, but it was entertaining enough.
umm.... Yes, I guess that's it. Now I just need to go bug Dad until he buys a new car.

work, crossroads, and blood
Hi all you internet people! Ok, mostly just family people, but whatever. The random internet people only read a couple of my posts.
Anywho. I'm actually scheduled to work 6 days this week, which is awesome. Most people only have 4 days. It's nice to know that the managers listen to complaints. I'd talked to Paul (the guy who does the schedules) a couple weeks ago about how I want to get good insurance, and for that I need 25 hours a week, and apparently he's trying to make that happen, despite us being slow these days.
So that's good.
Matthew has been looking into buying a condo. I guess that's good in theory, I mean, if he could afford it it would be good, but he kinda can't, and never once in all his planning and figuring out did he think of me, which irritated me. After listening to him talking about it for a few days I brought it up and he just said that you have to be married to own it together, and he's not going to make me pay for something that's in his name. He also hasn't bothered to ask my opinion about any of the properties he's looking at. Apparently he's already contacted some people about buying one. We've been together for almost 3 years, am I asking too much to be included when he buys a home? I dunno, I love him and all, but this relationship doesn't seem to be going where I wanted it to. I know he always said that he didn't want kids, but I guess I just sorta figured that that was just something that he was afraid of and he'd eventually get over it. But he's not. At all. I mean, his brother, in TEXAS is having a kid and he completely freaked out for 3 weeks! That's not normal. And now he's making life plans that I'm not included in. He's really the only friend I have here though, and I can't imagine what I would do without him. Like Rachel said, we're at a crossroad, and I need to figure out what direction to go in.
*sigh*
Anyway, enough of that.
Lacey invited me to go to her ultrasound today, but I have to work. :( Too bad, I'd like to go.
I think I'm finally better enough to reschedule with Houchin, which is good. Mostly just cuz I was getting really tired of being sick. Stupid Bakersfield. It's been really nice out lately though. Matthew and I even went on a little picnic a couple days ago. :) We found some little park in a nice residential neighborhood off Ming that was almost completely deserted, so that was cool.
Anyway, it's time for me to take a shower, so I'm gonna go do that.
Bye internet (family) people! :)

Having 3 days off in a row is weird
Ugh, so this stupid sore throat that I've had for a couple weeks has turned into a full blown cold. It's annoying. I'm coughing and my nose is running and I'm all stuffed up and ugh.
I hate being sick. I was supposed to go to Houchin on the first, but had to cancel. So not cool.
In happier news though, me and Abby went to Ventura yesterday. It was fun! We went to a couple thrift stores where we met up with Mercedes and each bought some cute new clothes, and then we went to Cafe Bariloche and had some fabulous empanadas, then we went for a walk on the beach and found lots of neat rocks. :) Good times!
I think I'm gonna go buy some drugs now. Yeah.... drugs sound good.

Light makes me sneeze
Oh! I totally forgot! Matthew is going to be an uncle! yay! :) His sister in law, Ashley, is about 8 weeks pregnant, which I think is very fun, but has put Matthew in a very bad mood for the past 3 weeks (when he found out, but I only found out cuz his mom mentioned it a couple days ago). So yay for babies! :)
Catching Frogs, too many birthdays, and King Terask on Insane
Yay, finally more pictures!! I know, I am the worst blogger ever. Well, almost. I mean, I post occasionally, but I have all these Rock Creek pictures that I'm too lazy to do anything with, and even though I have this great camera, I rarely take new pictures. It's quite sad. *cries*
Ok, enough of that. Here's Abby!
And here's Mom and... I forgot his name already.
Yay! Here they are again!! By the way, I totally forgot what lake these were taken at, so if anyone remembers, let me know!
All the kids spent the whole time catching (and, sadly, killing) baby frogs.
So there's some new pictures. I hope you enjoyed them. If you didn't, well, that's ok too, cuz I don't really care much.
Yup.
So I imported a bunch more cds into my itunes. I'm just as lazy with that as I am with posting pictures, so despite the fact that I've had itunes for like, 2 years (thank you Matthew) I've still got dozens of cd's that aren't on my computer yet. I even had a Coheed and Cambria cd! Psh, craziness.
I've been playing too much neopets. Well, I mean, too much is very subjective, obviously, but... I've been playing a lot. See, I have to beat Neoquest II on Insane mode so I can get the 3 million neopoint prize. The last guy to beat is really hard though, and you can't run away from him, and if you die on Insane mode you have to start the whole thing over again, and it'll take me like 3 months of playing a lot just to get to that point, so if in a few weeks there's a post that consists of nothing but angry cussing, well, you know why.
I'd better beat him.
hmm. yes.
So work is going pretty well. I'm having fun. Most of the time. I had this super bitchy lady yesterday, but she calmed down after she'd eaten and sat there for THREE HOURS. She tipped me a whole $3. woo.
umm... I'm going to Venture tomorrow with Abby to hit the thrift stores for her birthday. That should be fun! We never get to do things with just the two of us (well, three including Aiden) anymore. And even if we do, it's usually just grabbing some Thai food or something. Which is fun, don't get me wrong, but it'll be nice to actually go do something.
oh! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LACEY!! Yay!! :) And Happy Almost Birthday Rachel and Abby!! And Happy belated birthday Mom and Chris! And Happy your birthday is somewhere around here Cathy and everyone else! Isn't Gita's or Dani's birthday around now? I can never remember. I'm horrible. But at least I don't expect anyone else to remember my birthday. So that's fair, right?
I think I'm gonna go take a shower. I've been dancing around my apartment for the past 2 hours and I'm all sweaty and stinky.
ew.

Cutting people up is neato.
Crickets are yummy for my geckos.
Hamburger helper made with turkey and vegan meat substitute is yummy for me and Matthew.
Spiders are yummy for my kitties.
My insides kinda hurt. I think I've been drinking too much coffee. I can't help it, I've been in a funk lately. I mean, I'm perfectly fine, at least, I think I am, but everyone around me is constantly bugging me- "are you ok?" "what's wrong?" and coffee makes me hyper enough that they don't ask me.
The other day I walked with $73 after only having $330 in sales. Awesomeness. I even tipped out an extra $10. One lady gave me $18 on her $82 bill, but she had bought a $50 gift card, so she was tipping me almost twenty bucks for swipping a card. Awesomeness. And then there was this sweet Mexican lady and her 8 year old daughter. The woman didn't speak much English, so the daughter did most of the talking, but she was very nice and always said thank you and she let me practice my Spanish on her. They gave me $9 on their $22 bill.
Of course, the next day I walked with $67 after having over $600 in sales, so I guess it all evens out.
In 16 months I'm going to be a surgical technologist. That's kinda crazy. During school I'll help in a minimum of 140 surgical procedures. I'll also have to dissect a cat. :( I have to go buy some scrubs. I'm sad though, cuz the ST's wear ugly khaki scrubs. The RT's (respiratory techs wear maroon, which I like way better). Last night was an open house thingie to try to get people to enroll. I went, along with 5 other people already enrolled. It was kinda nice to meet some other people who are going to be in my class. Unsurprisingly, Hawaii has the highest average salary, so I've decided that I should move there. I mean, yes, it's also way more expensive to live there, but whatever. It's Hawaii!! The South (also unsurprisingly) has very low pay, so Matthew should be happy about that. I am not going to pay $30,000 to go to school so I can get a job that pays $14 an hour (that's the average in Mississippi or Alabama or something).
Craziness.
Matthew was mean to me last night. Before I went to the SJVC thing he's like "Hey! I have good news! What do you want more than anything?" and I"m like "I dunno Matthew, what's the news?" cuz I'm all impatient and not fun like that, and he's like "No, guess! What do you want more than anything in the world?" and I said "to go somewhere fun" and he said "Well, I have tomorrow off, so we should go somewhere! Actually, we could leave tonight and get a hotel room for tonight!" Yay! So I come home and I'm all "so where are we going?" and then he's like "Oh, I forgot, I'm getting my computers tomorrow (he ordered 3 $50 computers a couple days ago) so I need to be home when they get here."
Bastard. Getting my hopes up like that. It's kinda like when Dad said "Oh, we're gonna buy a Subaru and give you the Corolla!"
Everyone just likes to toy with my emotions.
