7:43 pm - annoying
|
Commercials that are getting on my nerves right now-
The Prius Commercials with the people dressed in weird bright costumes dancing and flipping around.
Bing Commercials with the people shouting stuff off like they're insane.
Every single Mc Cafe commercial. That's got to be offensive to the french language.... "That's MinivanE to you"
Meh....
Me and James were up till 5am last night after Becca's pool party. I've felt like crap all day and haven't done much but sleep constantly. I figured it was from staying up late. Then James mentioned that I might be dehydrated. I think he pinpointed it. I drank a fair amount last night, probably didn't drink enough water yesterday and haven't had much today either. So I'm watching King of the Hill with my bottle of water.

3:45 pm - Flashback aka cleaning break
|
Hi kids.
I just remember an incident from college and I want your opinion on what you would have done.
I got involved with the catholic group on campus for a while. I had been having a hard time and going to church helped me get priorities back together and move on. I am by no means a hardcore catholic. I am pro choice and DEFINITELY pro birth control. The one guy there, who I think was in denial of his homosexuality, ranted and raved about how a campus catholic center had condoms available. He went on and on and I kept my mouth shut. He was a little too enthusiastic about the boy scouts and gave people slightly inappropriate hugs, and I remember it being guys a lot of the time.
A big part of why I went was one of my gay friends. He knew he was gay, but was also very catholic so he didn't act on it. Most of the people there had no clue and probably thought we liked each other b/c we'd cuddle on the couch at the catholic center and we held hands at the treat.
Anywho...heres the incident.
A girl that was in the church group lived in my apartment complex. We talked a little bit and she seemed cool. Then one Saturday morning she knocked on my door at 8am or earlier and woke up my roomate, who then woke me up. She wanted to borrow the mouse from my computer b/c hers wasn't working and she needed it for the church newsletter.
First of all, my computer was wired strategically to fit in a giant roll top desk that wasn't meant for a computer. Getting any wires and plugs out was a pain in the ass.
Secondly, I'm a college student, it's the weekend, and you're waking me up waaaaay to early and I want to get up on my terms and my terms only!!!
So I didn't let her borrow it, even with her saying it would only be for 30 mins and I basically kicked her out of my apartment. We didn't tlak much after that.
So what would you have done? Do you think she was being rude?
That's all for now. More cleaning.

12:48 am - ugh
|
I suck at money.
I interviewed for the graduate counseling program for the fall today. It occured to me later that...HEY I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY TUITION SOON!
I went to my bank account online and looked at my budget... and man it's whacked...
I'm so stupid when it comes to money stuff...
I'm going to ask James if he can contribute to grocery money.
Good thing is.. I get 2 extra checks this month from teaching summer school. And I'm going on a family vacaion in a week so that means 10 days or so when I won't be spending any money.
I was proactive anyway and filled out the FAFSA form. I may be able to get a small loan or a grant would be AWESOME.
So much for going to bed 2 hours ago.
Sometimes I wish I had a sugar daddy... but I don't think my pride and the control freak in me would put up with that very well.
Meh.
I hope everyone is doing well.

2:49 am - Cuteness overload
|
|
Twiggy got a new friend. I won't be able to tell if they'll be able to live together for a few weeks but twiggy was saying hi to her through her cage tonight. I think the new girls name is Sandi. She has to be quarantined for at least 2 weeks but a month is best. I think they're ok just saying hi through the cage... Pics... 
They seem to like each other so far. Twiggy hasn't been agressive and seems to be pretty happy and excited. Sandi is curious about everything but isn't ready for us to touch her. Its only been a day and a half. I really need to go to bed... Posted via LiveJournal.app.

I think my comments are too long when I leave them.
I tend to share my experience with whatever the post is about.
I think I might be making it too much about me and not responding to the post enough, in communities and journals.
What do you think?
Should I just leave a brief comment, maybe with a little advice or insight if they're asking for it, and then post my experience in my own journal?
Or is it ok for me to leave a longer comment with what I have to say?
I'm worried that I annoy people and possibly come off as being naive or spoiled sometimes...
Just curious about what you think. You won't hurt my feelings, I'd just like to know. Or I'm just being silly.

2:46 pm - laziness wins...
|
It's almost 3pm and I'm watching spongebob and in my pjs (at least I put shorts on).
I really don't need this much summer vacation, at least until I have kids or something.
I lose my momentum and stop doing anything. The house needs to be cleaned, I could have gone to the gym and now I have an online class to get going. I could have gone to the gym today, but I have a riding lesson tonight and the last time I was worn out from the gym and didn't ride well.
I go back to teaching summer school next week for the next 2 weeks from 8-12. Then I take off with my family for about a week after that for vacation to vegas and seeing some extended family. I just realized how rough that is going to have the potential to be... Since moving I haven't really seen or talked to my parents much. I get a little annoyed even being on the phone with my mom b/c her and my dad are still a little clingy. So being stuck with them for 10 days is going to be weird and my brother is gross. Eh.... James will at least be there for the Vegas part.
I've been working out and seeing a personal trainer pretty regularly for the past couple weeks. The scale doesn't show me losing weight yet, but my pants are baggier and I'm getting in better shape pretty quick, at least in my legs. I was able to run a mile non stop on the treadmill for the first time in over a year earlier this week. My upper body and core is pretty weak compared to my legs, but that's probably from riding horses and all the rehab exercises I did after my knee surgery. If I keep getting myself to the gym and not be a weenie about using the weights by myself I should be good. I get overwhelmed trying to remember which ones are which on my workout plans.
I bought a new chinchilla yesterday. I probably should have waited till after Vegas, but I really wanted a younger one and there was someone else that was going to buy her if I hadn't gone to see her yesterday afternoon. She's got show champion bloodlines, so I kind of feel bad about just getting her as a friend for Twiggy instead of for breeding or showing. Maybe someday...
We came on a little strong yesterday when we were playing with her and should have given her some more time to settle before getting her out etc... I feel really bad about it. I did the same thing when I got Twiggy, so we'll take it easy on her the next couple days. I feel bad b/c I'm going to have to board her and Twiggy for a few days while both me and James are gone, but James is going to be back before me and can go bring them home.
I don't see the point in the kids bop songs... I think it's funny when they do Britney Spears songs and edit them.
Anyway here is the new baby, I think her name is Sandi but I'm not sure yet.
She's a beige "mutant" color as the lady that sold her to me puts it. Her daddy is white.
I'm going to go shower and change now b/c there isn't anything worth watching on TV anymore. How ridiculous is that??

1:45 pm - Boobies
|
|
I think my boobies have gone down almost one cup size. Since moving into my house I have been cooking my own food and haven't been eating out. I was jogging occaisionally and playing the wii and now I have a gym membership and a personal trainer.
I lose weight from my upper body first therefore I have lost my boobs. I'd prefer for it to come from my lower body first. Fat seems to go there first and I got too much junk in the trunk. The trainer was impressed with my lower body strength but that's probably from the 2 hours of leg exercises during physical therapy. Ok gym time. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

10:25 pm - Lonely
|
|
I've been at home by myself all day with the exception of 3 hours at the gym and 3 hours that James was home. Yesterday he didn't come home from work till 3am or something. I wouldn't be so bummed right now, but James messed with his laptop the whole time trying to fix his gps. He only stopped bc he had to go work again. Then he got upset when he asked me what was wrong and I told him. I didn't know that he had to go work at 10, or I might have said something before that. One of the perks of living with my parents was that I had someone to talk to and watch tv with most of the time. I liked my alone time instead of feeling like a lonely loser with no social life. This has been an expensive week thanks to stupid impulses and I'm nervous about bills and paying for grad school in the fall. Fudge. Not really sure how to make this work. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

2:16 pm - "Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and dog gone it, people like me"
|
I went into super lazy mode the past 2 weeks.
I'd get home from teaching summer school at 12, make lunch, park on the couch and fall asleep watching tv for a couple hours. Then I'd wake up and pretty much continue, maybe mixing some laundry in between and maybe make something for dinner.
So I know this probably sounds really nice... but it's really only good for about a week. Then I got major depressed and had no clue until me and James started fighting on Friday night and it lasted until Sunday. PMS played a part too, but it was kind of a yucky weekend b/c of the constant fighting. We're really good now though. He said he had been trying to talk to me all week and find out what was wrong, but I wasn't even aware of it yet. He knows me better than I know myself, and it's been like that since I met him 7 years ago. For a while it was to the point that it would actually piss me off and then I'd realize he was right and apologize.
I got off topic...
Ok so I went into a major lazy slump. Me and James worked pretty hard to clean up the house for my parents to visit on Sunday and that helped. Yesterday I planned to get a gym membership and go grocery shopping. I got them done, but they didn't happen till after 5. I also put some pork in the crock pot around 3 for dinner.
I went into the gym with a game plan of how much I wanted to pay and that I didn't want to pay initiation fees. Yeah that didn't happen b/c I'm lame, but I did get a special deal for Klein teachers, supposedly. But I really wanted to start working out this week. The gym is gorgeous and has a great lap pool, the one at my old gym was tiny and they took the lane lines out. She set me up with an inital personal training session and also talked around what it really was... them trying to recruit me to buy personal training sessions.
Well... I also got talked into that. It was something that I was interested in getting and starting. But in my head, I just wanted a few to make sure I was using the machines correctly and get a basic work out plan.
I have now commited to a year of training, 3x a month for a really really good rate per session. And I'm not just saying that b/c they told me... it is really good. I've practically been doing personal training for the past year anyway btwn physical therapy for my ankle and then my knee and I think overall it was more expensive and more frequent. It still has me freaked out though. My goals are to lose 25+ pounds and train for a triathalon. I will definitely be pushing myself to stay consistent this time... that's what I'm telling myself.
Anyway, the point of my subject title is..... while I was on the treadmill I was watching the news channel and saw that Al Franken is now on the senate. I loved Al Franken on SNL, don't know much about his politics. So Stewart Smalley is on the senate. It amuses me.
Just realized why the dog has been acting disgruntled since I got home. I locked her out of the bedroom while I was gone so she wouldn't get on the bed. Her duck and bunny toys were in there so as soon as I opened the door she rushed in to get them. She also takes them to the back yard with her. It's great to watch her spin around in circles trying to find it before she goes back inside. I like my dog... even though it's kind of like an adopted step-dog.
I have also watched pretty much every sing Degrassi episode the past 2 weeks....

6:11 pm - Scary dreams... Scarier than zombies
|
|
I had a very realistic dream last night that I was pregnant. I was planning talking to my doc about my prescriptions, seeing the gyno, telling my parents and I was already telling people at school. I was even thinking about what to do about my iud and was relieved knowing that my pills dont cause birth defects as much as they once thought (I recently looked it up and saw a study that said the prevalence is about the same as the normal population). One of my 4 year old kids even told me she knew what pregnant meant.
Then I woke up and realized that I wasn't and was sooo relieved. And then I started my period this afternoon. I guess my body was telling me something? Just felt like sharing. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

3:59 pm - Noise?
|
|
There are two downsides to my house. 1) not a lot of counter space. 2) it backs up to a major road and that means road noise. Both of those cons were not enough to leave the house and I would have regretted it big time, especially for the price. Has anyone else ever lived near a noisy street or something else that was loud? How did you deal with? If you got used to it, how long did it take? It's the only thing I struggle with. We asked the neighbors initially if the sound bothered him and he said no, that it was a quiet neighborhood. It's usually ok and I like white noise, but sometimes there's a big truck or a bus or a noisy rice rocket.
I think I really only notice it when I'm looking for it too. It just scares me a little because I can't back out. Just wondering what others experiences were. In college there was a popular bar across the street and I could hear christina aguilera and usher at 1am on Thursday nights. That drove me nuts!! I even called and complained a few times bc I had classes on friday mornings. I was so uncool. Anyway, please give me your input... Good or bad. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

1:18 pm - the perks of the educational system
|
I'm enjoying my summer vacation so far. I'm getting 2 paychecks and only working 4 hours a day. I'm making the same for 4 hours of a work that I would for an entire day working for the summer day camp. Sweet.
So now I'm watching a very tense Degrassi. So much drama and bad stuff happening.
Here's a survey thingy

6:17 pm - :-( Big sad face...
|
There's this girl that I hated in high school. Then I got to know here a little better in college b/c she was one of 3 people that I knew when I went up there. We were friends for a little while. Her father died Spring of our Freshman year and I was there for her through that as much as I could be. She was a little intense though and had some annoying qualities.
I stopped talking to her when I found out she told someone some very personal information about me out of nowhere. She was very insecure and competitive at the time and I honestly think she did it to make herself look better and get them to not like me. It was very very personal and was intended to make me look bad. So I had enough of putting up with her. Now she's my friend on facebook and I'll leave her comments and things like that. So we're friendly, I'm over stuff.
Anyway, I really feel bad for her right now.
Her father passed away because of complications from heart surgery, I think she sued for malpractice actually. Now her younger sister is in the hospital, 7 months pregnant, and having some major problems. She's been listing off the things she's being diagnosed with and I feel horrible for her and her family. She may have to have a c-section because of preeclampsia and she's got some auto immune disorders and sceleroderma.
So even though I normally get annoyed with all her super christian banter I've been praying for her and her family...
I feel really bad...

11:40 pm - stupid technology
|
Itunes is sooo annoying!!!
It doesn't make any sense or go along with any file transfers I've ever done in my history of computers. Click and drag... what???
Where the hell did my music go?? All I did was plug it into the computer!!!
I do love my iphone though.
But I also liked the flash drive type mp3 players... They were tiny too.
I understand how Itunes works, it's just freaking annoying and takes soooo long.
I prefer anapod but they don't have it for iphone.
I have wasted a chunk of my night putting songs on my iphone.
Thanks apple. Next time I'll put more money in your pocket by downloading it directly to my phone instead. That makes much more sense than copying songs from cds that I already have...
i need bed now.

6:37 pm - suprise meetings
|
I feel like I'm going to ralph...
I hate when I get called into a conference with my principal last minute...
I got into a nasty fight with my assistant last week. I felt like I had every right to say what I said to her, and she blew up at me and started yelling, and I started yelling back. She was making one of my students cry for not coloring in the lines on a fish that was small and the lines were also small. The point of the activity was to count, not to color in the lines... He's 4 years old and in a preschool special ed classroom. I told her he was doing fine, and it was a small fish. She stood up and started yelling at me about how I was the problem blah blah blah. I started yelling back. And when I told her it wasn't right for us to yell in front of him, she kept yelling. I told her fine, we feel differently, she kept yelling. At one point, when we were in the case managers office she said "you wouldn't talk to your mother this way!!!" What the fuck!!!! Yeah, she's twice my age, but I am in charge and I am the one held responsible.
I know I should have brought the administration into this before. My assistant principal knows the situation. Obviously, if there wasn't a serious problem, me making a simple comment wouldn't have turned into an explosion and me crying for an hour. It was easier for me to deal with it, ignore it, or pick my battles than to start something like this. It was easier to NOT have a hostile work environment and her talking shit about me to everyone....
Well I just got an email from my principal asking me to come see her before school tomorrow. I feel like I'm going to throw up.
I hope it's over what to do about my assistant next year, and that it's not about how I am weak and got so upset over it. The case manager told me I was being too sensitive over it. I hope she didn't tell the principal something bad about me. I don't want to get in trouble for speaking up for once... I don't want her to say "well if you can't handle your assistant, maybe you can't handle your job".
Ugh I'm so flipping scared. I'm also worried that it's going to be twisted around where I was the one in fault. My assistant acted all prim and proper in front of other people while I was freaking out (except for the comment about talking to my mother).
I really hope everything is on my side....
Earlier this year an assistant in the room next to me was fired. But she had only been there for a month and was doing a lot of really rude and disprespectful things and wasn't doing her job. Then she told off the principal....
This is different.
I'm going to try to look nice tomorrow morning and I'll have to leave the house earlier...
uuuuuggggghhhhh
soo nervous.
