back
i would like everyone to say hello to a friend of mine from work. she has got an awesome site about cherokee pride. i love saturdays now, leaving work 4 hours earlier than usual just makes me feel like i have a weekend. i love it. i am so happy i could sing... hell i am singing. see ya. i am on my way out side to play...
happy weekend. i am now un-demoted. i dont know what to think or how to feel. one day at a time. and i know i keep repeating myself when i say that i want to re-design this page. learning to skin will help me with my re-designing obsession. but for now i am experimenting with that. and i want to go to the guilded otter for a drink tonight. it is a bit of a rid for just a beer, but hey its just a good beer. i just want to relax. this week i realized how much the office is like high school. and being out on the floor with all of the telephone reps just made it much more clear. he said and she said. ugh. i just want to close my ears and do my job. as for the positions in the other office, i have not heard anything yet. i am going to guess that i didnt get them. eh. one day at a time. hrm. just close your eyes. one day at a time...
i could barely sit still today.
it is so beautiful outside i have no idea why i am indoors. maybe because i am not allowed online at work. i wish we could take a test. a test that determines if you are allowed to surf the net. i would be so much happier at work if i could. they just dont know. we cant even play solitare. come on. i am trying my hardest to get in on my computer. but i am not that much of a techie geek. i need network passcodes and i just dont know how the hell i am gonna get those. eh. anyway i feel the need to get some more fresh air. and by the way i still want to and need to take a few hours and just skin this damn site already. there was even a pseudo-tutorial made for me.
and guess what else? my groovey groovey friend is working on her page. it rocks. all you need now is a comment thing so i can leave you silly stupid blurbs.
the dmv sucks.
but i must admit that the visit there today was not too bad. they have finally come up with an interesting solution to the long stupid line. we now must go to the ticket station, hit a button for what you want to do, then a piece of paper with a number pops out. on it you will find a letter and a three digit number. they call the numbers in order but not really. the letter makes a difference... A034, G539, C217... so you see some sort of order, but wacky order. and while i was there the system when down... so i had to wait about an hour or so... i should have brought a book with me.
so tommorow i dont have class. its spring (it is now snowing outside) break. so i will be trashing another bag of stuff. i want un cluttered surfaces. i want only things used. and i love the simpsons... (i am gonna go watch them now... i cant help but look every 3 seconds... why not just watch them...)
its a new day.
but its the same old story. at work people still ask me questions. ask me to take supervisor calls (yeah fucking right...) and all kinds of shit. hell some of it i dont mind. some things i just dont do. so i pretty much had a good day. it wasnt all too stressful. and i realize that my supervisor isnt. (no offense if you are reading this, and you know you agree with me...) but i have learned to adjust. i will be anyone's little helper, as long as i feel like doing it. eric wont be there anymore... he was relocated to the other center. he wont ever have to answer a magazine call again. and i am sure that he will be a lot happier over all. so happy freaking friday. i didnt have to go to the bank, i now love direct deposit.
i was reading an article in real simple and i started to throw out garbage. i have a big black bag that i am going to fill. i hate clutter. some times i cant help but be a pack rat. so now if i know i wont use it i will toss it. sweet 16 birthday cards. garbage. fliers to concerts that happened 3 years ago garbage. christmas cards gone. i need to live clutter free. i want that simple not too many knick knacks clam effect in my room. so i will be chucking out a garbage bag a week from today until i am happy with my surroundings.

this is what i need to know about "clutter" - i'm moving in 10 days, and i would LOVE to throw out most of my crap. but, as far as "records" are concerned, like credit card statements, bank statements, pay stubs, etc., am i supposed to be keeping all that? i see all those home loan commercials and stuff where the people are freaking out about not having 10 years of bank statements or whatever, and so i keep all that stuff. do i really have to? please - someone give me an answer, cuz most of the people i ask say "you should just in case". BAH!! email me if you have an answer to this, cuz i want to just throw everything away. :-)happy friday addie :-)

real simple rocks! i'm so happy i subscribed to this mag - that was my first issue & it was great. i also need to de-clutter my life.....good job, addie ;-)

i dont think you need years of the stuff. all we needed was our w2's and last pay stub. but thats just for the pre-approval i think. i let you know more when we know more...

Ooh, Real Simple rocks my socks. I subscribed when it first hit the racks, and it continues to rule. This months Veggie recipes are very awesome, too.

from this day forth you will no longer know me as addie for my new name is wonder woman. i pretty much just completed my 5 paged paper. now i must re-read it for stupid spelling errors and gramical crap that i suck at. i did a fuck load of laundry. i cleaned out under my desk. i folded and put away the laundry. i ate a yummy breakfast. did i mention that one load of laundry consisted of socks. yep socks. so thats about 800 socks i had to match and put away... with only a few that didnt have mates. now i need to look under the dressers to find them. i fed and played with noah. and i began cleaning out my room. so i managed to do all of that in less that 6 hours. you will now know me as wonder woman. clink.
its too bad that this year eric and i wont be making it to the beacon to see the allman brothers. he is saving up to buy his friend's old car. we spent almost $300 on tickets to the vibes. and we just need to save money in general. sorry allman brothers, we will have to catch you next year...
note to self: shut the fuck up. i open my mouth and the dryer stops with a load of laundry in it that is far from dry and another load in the washer waiting to dry. i dont have enough rack space. damnit.

the allman shows were incredible...sorry you had to miss them.
hmmmmm...still have to buy my vibes tickets...i keep forgetting!

I saw them this summer at PNC...it was a good show, but it was sort of ...lacking somehow. I think it's really missing Dickie Betts' slide and the *thing* they use to have together. Now it's just sort of technical and dry. Not that I blame 'em for kicking that sorry wife-beater out of the band (I saw Dickie play Vibes last year - one of the only acts I did manage to catch between monsoons - and he was damn good. Little did we know that only weeks later he'd be back in cuffs again...)To sum up, I'm missing the Beacon run again this year too :(

i fucking hate pop under ads. i hate them more than pop up ads because they are under things. grrr.
and once i finish writing this paper due at 4pm today i will be able to find out if i can skin my site or not. but i am thinking that i wont be able to because i couldnt use moveable type. so i might have to change my hosting company or call and bitch.... oh yeah and since i am on the subject of hating. i hate that newspapers want to charge you to look at past articles. fuck you. you fucking newspaper fucks.
today was the first day that i can ever remember wrapping myself in a hot blanket taken right from the dryer...

cranky? hope you got your paper written, in spite of the newspapers wanting your money.

i just fucking hate having to pay more for one article than for the whole fucking paper. grrr.

happy st patricks day
laura just handed over her hippie liscense. but i think she should keep it because pink flloyd doesnt count.
so hapy st particks day. and good news for all of you psycho wwf fans today is wrestlemania. the match of all matches. hulk hogan vs. the rock. anyone care? anyone wanna take a guess at who will be victorious?
and on friday night some guy that i just met, (of course the guys already knew him) gave us 4 tickets to see the yankees.
check out the groovey new look.
its very difficult to type with a middle finger that is missing half of the nail and a big chunk of finger. i am not very graceful and i had to throw away a plate of chips and cheese...
i am so glad that my hours were changed. i only have to work until noon on saturdays. now i feel like i have a weekend. its great! i mentioned that sucky celebrity boxing crap. well remember what they had on backs? my younger sister did. golden palace yeah its got like 50 popup ads. dont go there. its an online casino. and just to recap, i am glad that i got demoted. i am much more relaxed, and i am receiving the correct pay for my job.
this is pretty neat. similar to mine? i wonder what defines similar.
look at what my little sister sent me today. and does anyone else agree that this is really sucking.
the more i think about what happened at work yesterday the happier i am. i just wish that i could play with a computer that didnt suck. and i wish i could have a desk of my own. but i know for damn sure that wont happen. and i just dont see the diffence, i make $9 monitoring or i make $9 answering calls. hey at least i get to keep my salary. um. thanks? i never did get the raise that position entitled me. but now i will be able to study in between calls. crocet. cross word puzzles. books. no dead lines. not that i had a problem with them. but i have to remember that its not about my performance. ha. i cant say that i am not bitter. but i will do my best to be happy. some how some way i am always the one that gets screwed. way to crush a 21 year old woman's work ethic. do less fuck off more. it doesnt matter how hard you work anyway...
on another note, the so called "classic rock" station is playing black hole sun. i havent heard soundgarden in a while...
i am glad this has happened. i need to focus on other things.
and so today my world it dies...
i was demoted back to the telephones. its not about my performance. or my attendance. nope its not about that at all. hey at least i still have a job, and with good news. i dont need to take a cut in pay. (i did mention that i make the least the company pays, so how would i?) of course the human resources woman did understand that. right. i would be the first to be considered should the position open up again. thanks. i will be sure to um remember that.
i still have not gotten the book that i ordered for my art history paper. An American Exodus: A Record of Human Erosion.
art daily has redone its layout. its focus now is art news and the images as well. i really am starting to like this site a hell of a lot. and finally i get paid today. last week was the first week we didnt get paid due to the fact that we now get a biweekly check. i made it. but let me say that its gonna suck. i looked forward to fridays for that reason alone. now i will only be able to look forward to every other friday.
what? moving on. my biggest petpeeve about personal sites: those that have some random famous person as the main theme on their page. its a site about you and what you like. why on earth do you have reese witherspoon all over your page? if its your page and you dont want to put your image on it- dont. but dont do a "ohmygosh i just love winnona ryder and she must be on my site" theme. (idea to bitch from ariel.)

haha. i was just thinking that today. it was after reading ariel's list too but the thought occured to me because i went to one the sites i had bookmarked that had a sarah michelle gellar theme. i mean i like reading it, and the person can design, but i just don't get it either. it seems a bit common with younger girls. it just seems...tacky? i don't know. i mean half the time their design skills seem better than mine (or maybe they just have fancier programs), so why can't they come up with something that reflects their personality rather than photoshopping a celebrity photo?

I think it is funny that the archive that comes up in that google search is the 0420 ;)

are you in my american art history class?
if you are then this little note is for you. the art history links are on the right side of this page. i recommend these: artdaily.com (new design - use this.), the artchive and american art to 1900 (which as i am discovering, has crappy images, i will try to find something with better quality). but you should definately check out all of them if you have the time. leave a note, say hello, just so i know you were here. (i just found a great link for american art).
ahemm, laura.
even though i am engaged this scares the shit out of me.
i receieved an email that had some interesting tidbits. An English professor wrote the words, "Woman without her man is nothing," on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly. The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing." The women wrote: "Woman! Without her, man is nothing."
i hope those sentances are proper. and so i did a little bit of re-arranging. not an entire redesign. i like what i have but i needed something a little bit different.
more proof that nascar is taking over the world.
if i were a raver, this would be my website.
i almost shit a brick when i realized that wpdh was playing a dead song. maybe because the normal chick is out and some other cooler chick with better taste in music is taking her place. oh holy shit. there is another song on. two in a row and neither was uncle johns band or casey jones. i guess you cant ask for everything. touch of grey is on. hey everyone i want your opinions. what is the most over played grateful dead song?
if i had an extra $700 i would have gotten these for eric and myself.
mine came from pennsylvania.

Awww, why do (we) blogging brides (to be) scare you? *snicker*I scare myself sometimes, but it's all ok :)

--------------------
I would have to say that Truckin' is the most overplayed Dead song on the radio. Close after that is Touch of Grey. But I don't listen to commercial radio so I have no idea what is played anymore :)

are you ever gonna tell us the answer to the riddle?? i'm a horrible problem solver. the only one of those i ever got right was the one about the block of ice in the middle of the floor that everyone gets right!have you ever heard of the game "mindtrap?" it's a whole box full of these types of riddles. needless to say, i suck at it :-)
