Super long post about everything.

Daily extended
You effortlessly see both sides of a question today. Consequently, you have no trouble making decisions as circumstances demand and no problem explaining the reasons behind your conclusions. The best part is that you don't feel the least bit of hesitation or ambivalence; the right choice seems so obvious. Others respect your integrity and fairness, so they accept your conclusions without protest.

Finally my horoscope was wrong. Today, first thing in the morning, a realtor got mad at me for a decision, I did in fact come to a good conclusion very quickly and I could back it up AND (for a change) my boss backed me up! However, the realtor didn't respect my decision at all and he is pissed.

I totally over reacted about a comment adam made to be on Christmas, caused an argument and embarrased myself. I mean, it was a mean comment to make but I could have handeled it in a more adult way. So I apologized and so did he and that was the end of it.

Ugh, I have to go to traffic court in the morning. I hate it there! Darn it was a Bradley cop so I can't get out of it as easy. I need to get some pull in Bradley some how! lol.

OH! yesterday we took the Buick (car I got from step-dad for x-mas) to Joliet and while Adam and his brother were in some hobby shop looking for stuff for their RC cars I went to Old Navy with Kelly (Joe's gf). They had shirts on sale from $2-$5! I got 10 t-shirts and a pair of jeans for $50, it was great. I really needed some non-work clothes.

Ya, about the Buick, my stepdad gave me his old car, it's a '95 Buick LeSabre. It's brown and it smells like cigaretts but a little cleaning and it could be a really nice car. He said he intended on giving me cash but he couldn't sell the car fast enough, that's OK now that I have that car I can sell my elantra, which will bring more money anyway. God we have so many vehicles my backyard is beginning to look like a used car lot!

Lindsy got me the hair straightener I wanted, it's ceramic. Adam got me a thing that you put in the bottom of the bathtub and it blows bubbles, very relaxing plus some things from victorias secret. My mother in law got me the usual-Isotoner gloves that I love, some hair and skin stuff, socks and for some reason 2 bags of Splenda Sugar (she said it was pricey but it's better to bake with because of my hypoglycemia).
I got Adam his DVD burner and he LOVED it! He totally thought I wouldn't get it, then I also got him some candy, a shirt, some stuff for his RC car and a new lighter.

All in all it was a good christmas. Mom and dad gave me the usual...nothing, not even a phone call. I got a card from my mom but it turns out she didn't mail it.

All told I have 8 brothers and sisters. I always talk about Lindsy and Cody becuase I am very close to them, we grew up in the same house. It's not that I don't like the others, I just never get to see them, I am the oldest so they are all in high school wrapped up in being teenagers. Well Michelle is great, she's 14, same at Cody but different mom than me. I posted a photo of her in my last post. Well I send Michelle books for Christmas and Birthdays and for the last couple years I send her books by Joyce Carol Oates (in a couple years I will start with the BGG's!). Anyway, I think it's great that she loves to read becuase everyone treats her like she's nobody (a topic for another time) and she called me last night to thank me, I never realized how much we have in common. I wish I could pick her up and hang out with her, but my dad won't let her hang out with me. Oh well. Just wanted to mention that even though I talk about 2 siblings, there are 6 more that are just as important.

Stupid work rant )

I made an ode to my mother, http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=imsunshine God the holidays are starting to depress me. Everyone is talking about going home and seeing their parents, parents here at work are talking about how they can't wait to see their kids. My parents won't even call to wish me a merry Christmas. I guess I can get over my dad, we never really had a close relationship and it's been about 5 years since I talked to him now and I don't know, it's just more acceptable for fathers to be out of the picture. But I admit that it really hurts me that my mother is they way she is, yes it's sorta me that isn't talking to her but it's because she's a fucking idiot.

Last night was a lot of fun. We were originally going to play the game where you stick a name to everyone's back and they have to guess who they are by asking other people questions. But then my boss called with an idea for another game. We got one peice of information from everyone that they thought nobody would know about them and they everyone had to guess who fit what description. For example, mine was "Has had pink, green, blue, and purple hair" and my boss's was "Play's Guitar". Everyone's was so different it was a lot of fun. Someone put "Got kicked out of typing class for mouthing off to the teacher" and everyone thought it was me! Wonder why?! Anyway, so then we ate horrible food. Apparently my pallette isn't good enough to appreciate finer food! Then we started with the gifts. My secret Santa gave me for my final gift: A adorable bag from victorias secret: my fragrance was strawberry though.

Then the office gave me a gift set with coffee's and tea's plus a $160 gift card visa! YAY. Then I got a flurrieville snowman from Burnet Title, they get me one every year. And I got a really cute candle burning lamp thing that I thought was a champagne flute, until someone showed me how to put it together!

I love getting gifts from these people because they aren't obligated to give them, the really appreciate us and give us them to show it!

So after that, Frank and his friend played music and we all danced. It was fun.

Today Lindsy and I are going Christmas Shopping. I am feeling a little hung over but that's ok.

well last night was fun. I was so stressed and pissed at work because the Bitch was being a total idiot, sometimes she's a decent human being but when it comes to work she's a freaking dumbass. So I am about to leave and Sarah says "What are you doing tonight at 9:30" I told her that I was teaching Excel at Computer World and then nothing. So she invited me to preview Finding Neverland, with Johnny Depp. I asked if I could bring Lindsy, my 15 year old sister and she said yes.
So I go to Computer World and get all ready for my class. But nobody showed up. No big deal, it was my first class there and we didn't advertise much, January will be better because I have a schedule up and I am going to print it in the Newspaper. So Adam was at his brother's house so there was no point in going home so I stayed at Computer World and just chatted with everyone. Then Adam called and said he was on his way home and I left. When I got home he had brought me a steak and a potato from his brothers house. It was pretty good.
Anyway, 9:15 rolls around and I leave to go to the high school and pick up Lindz, she had a wrestling meet (she's the manager and her bf is the team captain). We head to the paramount to see the movie.
So the movie starts and I am thinking hey I've seen this...turns out I had, they accidentily started Spongebob. oops. So shannon went upstairs to play the right movie and let me just tell you that I LOVED it! I even cried. You should all go see it.

God I can't believe it took me that long just to say I saw a movie and it was good. lol but I guess that's the point of a journal!

I got home at 12:30 and Adam was still up, so we watched some TV until about 1:30 and went to bed. Today we are both very tired! I am so happy though because the Bitch has the day off. So it's just me to sit here and quietly get everything done so Monday there's nothing to do. yesss.

Also, I feel a lot better because not only did I get my medicine back but since i didn't take it for so long my doc gave me a different version of it, one that hits you all at once instead of lasting throughout the day, I like it because it motivated me better.

Tonight is my X-mas party at the Hilton for work, I hope it's nice. Well I know it's going to be nice. I hope I have fun.
About the Hilton:
http://www.dorabros.com/HiltonGI_kankakee/hiltongc_kankakee_main.htm
For whatever reason, Kankakee thought it would be nice to have a Hilton Hotel. Whatever, maybe it will bring people from Chicago down and possibily bring more revenue (if you didn't know, Kankakee was voted the worst place in America becuse of the jobs, we even recieved 2 gazebo's from David Letterman just for it!). So they build this Hilton on the Kankakee Exit of I57. Well the funny thing about that is there's nothing else there! Yep we have a huge beautiful Hilton hotel there and not even a restaruant for 3 miles! What the hell!? I guess they did it in hopes that more businesses will build there, God I hope so because it looks really weird right now.
Well this has been quite long enough. Have a lovely day.

Horoscope for Capricorn

  • Dec. 16th, 2004 at 4:14 PM

Overview: You'll want to sleep in late today, probably because last night was a late one. Tonight may end similarly, so get ready for the drama by taking a nice, long nap. You'll be glad you did.

this horoscope from yahoo has been creepily true all month long. I am totally into that stuff too. I'll let ya know if there's drama tonight.

dammit.

I thought I could handle it better if I ran into Aaron at the bar without Adam around. But of course the second I saw him it struck the fear in me like you wouldn't believe. I am talking the second he walked into the bar I almost fell and then threw up. Then he's got to start yelling stuff at me and making sure I know how shitty I look (he's fat too so I don't know why he thinks he's got room to talk!) and pretty much being the jerk that Aaron is. So Sarah and Shannon are great people and they said we should leave so we did, we went to Driftwood right next door.

So I can tell who my real friends are becasue Aaron's friends were mine too. Well as soon as he walked in he hit a group of my friends and of all the people that could have come to my side, Duke did. He said, I told you I would always be there for you and look where I am right now, so lets get out of here. I was happy but still a little upset because a few people that I thought would have my back didn't. But whatever, I am not asking them to choose sides. So Duke, Shannon, Sarah and I all went next door and we played a couple games of find the differences in the pictures on the little game screen thing. So it's been about 10 minutes at this point and Duke gets a call from Crane (one of the poeple I was dissappointed in) and Crane says "why did you guys leave me I didnt want to stay there with Tapp (Aaron)" I was happy.

I went home and told Adam about the whole ordeal and he told me that I shouln't be afraid of him and that next time I should just stay in the bar and show him that I am not scared and hopefully he will get over it and leave me alone. I guess Adams right, as long as I show him that it bothers me he will keep going. Anyway, it was a public place as long as I don't let him get me alone he can't do much more than talk shit.


So anyway, this is really funny. Adam just called me and asked if I was in the paper (someone told him that they saw me in it) and I said yes.He goes "For what the obituary or something?" LOL I was like no for Toys for Tots! HAHA I think he meant the blotter. GOD he's cute.

yay I finally figure out how to post photos and not get a red "x" so if you were interested, here's a photo of Adam and I at Halloween:

My brother is so cute! I made him dress as santa for Toys for Tots last Saturday. This is him playing "santa pimp" LOL He made a skinny santa but fun nonetheless. See the street in the background? That's Route 50, he stood out there on the side of the road for 4 hours waving at cars!

Anyway, i am feeling off today. I know it's because I haven't had my medicene for almost 2 weeks, but I go to the doctor today to get more. I forgot how crappy it feels to feel crappy. Hopefully tomorrow will get better.

Friday we were supposed to go out with Duke, I told him I would call but never did because after getting home from a long day the couch was looking very very appealing. So Friday night Adam and I lounged.

Saturday was Toys for Tots. My brother, Cody, dressed as Santa and stood out of Route 50 waving cars and getting them to stop. He was so cute. We collected TONS of toys. WVLI (95.1 FM) was there broadcasting live and we had people dressed as elves handing out flyers to cars. All in all we collected over 3000 toys!! I love this event. I do a lot of charity events and Toys for Tots is definately my favorite and most satisfying one.

After the event Cody and I went to his grandparents house so I could help Linda with her new computer and getting her mail in rebate out. Cody did some chores for them and we played with the dogs and then after that I had a coupon for $.99 bowling so we went and played a couple games. After bowling we played air hockey and then went home. Cody stayed the night and we watched movies and played on the computer.

I have to say I LOVE hanging out with my brother, he's 14 and he's got the best personality. He's really intelligent and quick witted so he's always making me crack up laughing. We have so much in common so we get along really well.

And now, if your interested

Some stuff about my crazy mom and the court case )

This is great.

  • Dec. 9th, 2004 at 8:53 AM

So I was online last night messing with my Xanga page and my brother, Cody, gets online and he's telling me about his night and he said that he ate at The Homestead. I was wondering who he went with because it's an expensive place to eat. So Cody tells me that he went with his dad and "the aunts" (my step-dad has a lot of sisters!) because my mom dropped the case and they were celebrating. That's so exciting!!! This means that Lindsy, my sister, is officially staying in Kankakee with us and not moving to live with psycho-mom. I think Lindz is happy about it.

Anyway, so lindsy comes over this morning and she's telling me about how Karen, her aunt/my boss, was complimenting me about how well I do here at work. This is weird because Karen never compliments me, usually she tells me what I am doing wrong. So I blew it off because whatever. Well then I get to work and my Step-dad calls me and tells me how proud he is of me and he repeats what Lindsy told me this morning. That's nice. So I started my day with a great compliment.

Oh, and I went to the Doc. I have a bladder infection. I have never ever had one before. So it's weird. I think its because I have been drinking more pop that usual. I better stop that right away.
