Just imagine.
I just finished watching Divine Secerets of Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Let me just say that I would have really enjoyed growing up with three friends that would keep a strong friendship until I am old and grey. What in the hell kind of fantasy land did those women grow up in? I wonder if that movie was based on some true story... Well let me just say that I have always wanted a friend that I could have grown up with - strong friendships with girls have never seemed to be my forté.Don't get me wrong - I do have girlfriends but nothing like in that damn movie. Eh, whatever. I am happy with the friends (male & female) that I have. And my sisters have always been there. Now they are getting old enough that I can really start talking with them.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Disgruntled tech support. Hehehe...November 27, 2002
Interesting.
Because I am a quality assurance specialist (I listen to phone calls) I am over sensative to how representatives form other companies answer their phones. I listen for the statements I would normally listen for while at work. I realize that most other businesses have poor if not horrid telephone etiquette. Their poor services makes me feel silly when I get annoyed with my own group of reps for saying silly little such as "bare with me" or "no problem". Eh, no more work talk, I will be off to a wine and cheese party this evening.November 25, 2002
Ouch.
Today Eric sprained his ankle today around 8:30am. He finally stopped working at around 1:30pm. I brought him to the hospital at 4:30pm. He will probably spend over $300 for the complete visit. Thank God he did not break his ankle. The lucky bastard can't go back to work until next Monday. November 24, 2002Connect.
On Tuesday I will be joining the cellular world once again. I am leaning towards Sprint. They seem to rock - or in plain English - have good plans.Check out what Mickey Hart had to say about the show that we went to. (I had a great time but could have lived without hearing Casey Jones & Truckin...)

Hope.
Let's hope that this time I have more luck getting Phish tickets - I only want one show! Thanks for the reminder Katie - I would have completely forgotten to PRE-order. What ever happened to good old fashioned mail order? Because I am doing the ordering on the internet they charge me $17.00 for convience? What in the hell? I would rather pay $0.37 for the damn stamp.I love that Q.
Capital "N" small "y" Big Fucking "Q" I love that "Q" don't you? Thanks to NyQuil I could sleep enough that I will be making it to work. Yesterday I felt like a walking pile of dung. My mother recaps the events that occured on Tuesday. Instantaneously I felt it. My throat hurt (and still does) and by the end of the day Tuesday I was a mess. Cold and hot at the same time. That night I put my ice-cube feet on Eric's. He let me know that my feet felt just as warm as his. That is when I knew there was something wrong with me.Now I know I am not 100% but I am a lot closer today than yesterday. All thanks to that horrid little drug NyQuil.

Hoop!
Now I have no excuses. I am going to make myself a hula hoop. Ariel shared a great link with complete instructions - how to make a hula hoop!November 18, 2002
Shark.
I am going to buy myself a shark. Yes, yes I have been eyeing that vacuum for a long time. It is small, handheld, bagless and can easily suck up dog hair! I am so tired of bending over using the old broken - no handle or wheels but still sucking vacuum. Yep it will be all mine. No one can touch or see it! Notme always finds my things and breaks them. So there for notme cannot use it. Muhaha. I am going to keep my cleaning products all to myself!

Personal Data ORGANIZER
Does anyone have a PDA? If so what do you like? What don't you like? I have been wanting one for a while and I may ask Santa to get me one.November 15, 2002
Beauty.
Is everyone ready for a cheesy little comment. Today was beautiful. Plain and simple. I left work to buy candles; the store is only three minutes from my job. I drove as slow as possible all the while just taking deep breaths and looking at the beauty around me. I had The Rain Song playing which was just incredibly soothing. Those ten minutes will last forever in my mind.I think I may need to find a job that allows me to work outside all the time.

Ahhh...
Tomorrow is friday! This week has been an odd week. Yesterday work was just jammed packed with craziness. Hopefully today will be different. Its not that I mind working while at work - but our department was asking to do something we aren't supposed to be doing. But you always have to help the company - yada yada...Today my mom should be helping me by faxing that letter I wrote to SUNY Albany. Damn those high school college credits! They are a pain in my ass.
I am ready to open a bottle of wine and relax and it is 6:30am! Have a great day everyone one! Oh and El Kay did you think I couldn't mention you - sorry about all that shit...

A new start.
Yesterday I jogged for 15 minutes on the treadmill in our attic. While I was there I noticed that it was a cluttered mess! And as you all know or should know I hate clutter and I hate messes. Living is fine - meaning that normal everyday life will produce small messes and some clutter. But junk - pure junk drives me crazy.So last night I cleaned out a sizable space around the machine. Today my plans are to get a few more storage tubs and maybe a shelf and really straighten up (and clean out) the junk up there. My mom is more than willing to help (she will buy the supplies & help trash things) once I told her my ultamite goal. A nice large space for exercise. We have an old TV up there - and at least one VCR in the graveyard of appliances. Can you save Tae Bo & Yoga?! There is more than enough room, things just need to be - organized!
So for the next few weeks I will be cleaning up, decluttering, and rearranging the attic. Because now the alarm goes off at 5:30am and I cannot get back to sleep once I hear that blasted thing.

Lefty or Righty?
Check out this nifty color test. The first time I took it I scored an 88%. The second time I was much more sucessful - 100%.Eric starts his new job tomorrw; you will not see him post in the comments much anymore. He will have to leave the house at 6am, drive 1˝ hours to New Jersey and work until dusk. I know he will be happier now that he is not behind a desk anymore. He stocked up on long-johns and even has a cute tool belt. Um, I mean its manly! Ugh-Ugh-Grr. It will be a great opportunity for him - the more he learns the more he will get paid.
Calling all bookworms!
Help me please. I cannot remember the title of a book that I want my younger 14 year old sister to read. It was a diary of a girl that had ran away and was experimenting drugs. It was published after her death. I don't know if it was true but when I read it I believed it. I had loaned it to a friend, and it was never returned. I searched on Amazon and all I got was the Anne Frank diary. Anyone know which book I am talking about?!Update: Damn Heidi you are awesome - you knew it and posted it one minute later! Thanks alot!

Klutz.
I have a huge bump on my head. I am glad that is about half of the size that it was last night.November 08, 2002
Serenade
Right now Eric is singing to me... (I am sure that he wants all of you to know it too).Yesterday my mom and I went to an all natural grocery store. They also have health care products and what not; while we were there I picked up some Vegan Hemp Balm: Cocoa Mint! (compliments of my mommy of course! - Thanks mom!)

GTA.
I hope you like it honey, I know I will. Hell even the website is fun!November 06, 2002
Almost Friday...
For some odd reason today sucked. I mean I just don't understand. I started the day out in such a good mood. Hell I am in a good mood 97% of the time. I don't know exactly when or why it happened but I was so miserable. I can't put my finger on it. I do know that my mood suddenly went right back to where it always is once I got to my class and spoke with my professer. Talking with Eric for a few minutes also helped cheer me up, but we only spoke briefly.Update: I got my clothes from JJill. They suck. Mom you were right, Amy you were right. I should consult a few girls before ordering from some random catalog. Eh, screw it no more catalog ordering. (But I will still order from Oldnavy.com - I can return it in the store.)
On an even better note: There was a bottle of Campanile Pinot Grigio waiting for me when I got home. Thank You Sweetheart!

Never.
I will never do this or this or this or any other "thing" that I have to do on a "certain day" of the week. Ugh. Is everyone bored and has nothing to talk about? Do you need a topic to write about? Here is one- tell me why you love me in 1,000 words or less. That should keep you busy, oh and by the way only do it on Wednesdays - Why we love Addie Wednesdays.I really should change the name of this site to wiseassbitch.com I think the name suits me well.
Disappointed.
To celebrate my raise I decided to buy myself a little gift. (yes I know - and waste more money...) Regardless I was happy and wanted to reward myself for several reasons - people keep asking if I am loosing weight, and I have been working hard regardless of certain things, etc...On October 24, 2002 I placed a phone order with J Jill (an over priced catalog). I ordered a pink, yes pink sweater and a black sweater coat - which I got $10 off! My point is that the shipping was only to take three to five business days. $15 for shipping and I have not gotten my package yet. This is me, bitching and complaining... Gimme my sweaters!
And this is the best news yet... my mom had ordered something from that catalog a while ago. She was completely disgusted with the quality of the items she received and returned them all. I may end up doing that as well - we have similar taste. But I can tell you one thing, there is no way in hell that I am paying the $15 shipping charges when it has been seven business days.

Day of Rest.
Ha! Rest my ass. Time to clean the room - vaccum tumble weeds of dog hair, pick up clothes, do the laundry, straighten up, and throw away clutter. Yes I am back on that old thing again. I hate clutter. Maybe I want to throw away everything I see because my mom is a pack rat in denial. She will never admit it, but let me tell you... she has baby stuff in the attic. My youngest sister is 12. I am 22 - not planning on having a baby anytime soon. Besides I don't want a yellow baby monitor. Call me crazy but that thing was white - when plastic turns yellow that scares me. She has boxes from every computer / VCR / television ever bought. Mom! Throw it out! You will feel a huge sigh of relief.If you are frequent (ha!) visitor then you will notice that I cut my side bar in half - I even get rid of internet clutter. And my little pop-up reading list is great! I just leave it up and click a link every now and again.
My desk is almost completely de-cluttered. I must move on to other places now... Have a happy day of rest everyone!

Winter?
Right now there is a layer of snow on the ground. I am sure that by noon it will be gone, but damn it is cold out and must have been snowing for a while to make it stick like that. milder than usual - but more snowfall and it will be colder - HUH?
