I gotta work in the morning, and I've been up. All night. I'm really sick, and I hate this.

So another weekend is over. Last night was a "Christmas party" (yep, in January), and it was really nice, great food. It was fun.
It looks like the Patriots are winning/have won.. Nice.
And it's snowing again. But what else is new?
I went out to eat today with S., and then we went for a ride all over the place, and then back here so I could help him study. It can be so frustrating to try to help someone remember things that come to you so easily, but it's worth it, and it will be worth it when he makes it through all of this.

So today was a good day until someone stole the money back that they had just paid me.
I was upset, and pissed. And then, even though I KNEW where I had put the money, and that it was gone from that location, and the person just practically flew outta there right before I noticed... I said to myself, "am I going crazy?", and proceeded to tear the place apart, going through the trash, piece by piece. And of course, as I expected, it was gone. GONE.
I hate fucking people.

Day off. It snowed all night long, and right now it is starting to sleet outside. Since I had asked Lynn last week if I could take today off for a doctors appointment (which, they happened to cancel this morning), I had already known I wouldn't be going in to work today. And she cancelled her appointments last night when she heard how bad it was supposed to be today. I wish that they didn't cancel my doctors appointment, because I hate going, and now I have to wait another week. And that means another day off from work. It sucks, because they schedule it right at 10 o'clock in the morning, which means that there isn't a point in me going into work and having to leave right away, and then once I get out, mostly everything will be done. But at least January is a slow month, since it's right after Christmas. So if I need time off from work, it's a good time to take it.
Yesterday while I was at work, my parents went to pick my ring up from Cormiers after they called to say it was ready (Shawn gave it to me for Christmas, and I had to take it back to be sized down). I love it, it's beautiful, gold, blue topaz and diamonds, I love it so much. Then Shawn got home from work and we went to get something to eat.
Today I took a ride in my Jeep... which I love... 4WD rawr... to Wal-Mart with my Mom, got a bunch of disposable cameras developed, and then I got home and called to reserve 2 seats on Gary McKinstry's trip in March to the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, and then dinner at the New Boston Inn (which is on the "Ghost Hunters" television show), and then we will also see his show there. I've been to two of his shows already... very intersting. I wanted to go on one of his Halloween TRIPS to Salem, but I wasn't able to. This should be fun, and Shawn is going with me. And it is so nice not having to ask him if it's his weekend off or not, and not have to work around that anymore. Yay.

Yep, pretty stupid subject line... but anyway.
So after getting mad at Shawn this past weekend, things are so much better. We hardly ever fight, and when we do, it really sucks. But nothing is ever so bad that we break up over it. Yesterday he wanted to make sure I had something for breakfast, so he went and bought me a box of Froot Loops (hmm, is that a hint? lol). He is just the sweetest guy I have ever been with in my entire life. Work wasn't bad today, I think it went by pretty quickly, actually. I am still very intrigued by the history of this place... I need to get out all the papers and old, old picture albums and sit down with them... Ya, I'm boring. I think I was born in the wrong lifetime. Or century...
Shawn is taking me to see "White Noise" this weekend, he has every weekend off now with his new job, and that's awesome. I love him.

| The Ring. |
[02 Jan 2005|09:17pm] |
When I was about 10 or 11 years old, I was walking through the backyard at my old house, bringing my dog up to her doghouse. It was either in January or February, there was a little bit of snow on the ground, but it had been melting, I remember that. There is a big tree not too far from the dog house. I was walking up toward the doghouse, and I noticed a little piece of something shiny. I went up to the tree, and sticking out from a little part of the tree was a ring. It was silver, but not very shiny. It looked a little bent on one side of it, and it had a "twist" design on the top of the ring. I had never noticed this being on the tree before, and it was pretty weird. I took the ring inside and showed my Mom and asked her if she had ever seen it before, and she said no. Then she asked me where I found it, and I told her stuck on the tree, and at first she didn't really believe me. Then I asked my Dad, and he had never seen it before either. I tried it on, and it fit me perfectly. Then at some point I must have lost it, I remember one day looking down at my finger and seeing that it wasn't there anymore. I was pretty upset with myself. This is just a weird thing, because.... well, we are the first family to live in that house, and we built the house on that property. Before our house was there, it was just woods. Then there is a little history about the property... which I am trying to find out more about now... someone who died almost 100 years ago...
I hope that I find this ring again so I can take it somewhere and maybe find out more about it. But this is bigging the heck out of me, and I don't know why. And now that I'm 21, I should have forgotten about it... but now that it's back in my mind again, I can't forget it.
I just wonder who put it there...

I. Am. In. Love.
Anyway. Today was a good day, I had a lot of fun, Shawn came over after we got back home and we just had so much fun together. He is the best.
I wish I knew which was this weather is going to go, if too many people cancel appointments tomorrow morning I probably won't have to work after all. On Tuesday, we have our in-house Xmas party, and I still need to buy this girl Kristal something. If I don't have to work tomorrow, I will do that, otherwise I asked my Mom to pick me something up for her when she goes out. Then I'm supposed to get my hair cut tomorrow night, but we will see if they cancel that or not if it's really bad out.. who knows.
This is definately the most boring journal I have had so far.
I need to buy some splash guards for my Jeep, and I also need to get some good floor mats so I don't ruin my nice ones with all the slushy crap the winter brings.
Earlier today I was inspired to write, but now I am just not at all...
Maybe tomorrow.

In a little while, I'm going for lunch with my parents, but Shawn is supposed to meet us there. He's on his way back from CT, so it will be nice to see him. Since I only saw him for about 30 minutes last night before he got called out to go all the way to the other side of New York City. He has Christmas weekend off, which will be a lot of fun, because we've already made plans to go out and do all these really fun things... And I have Friday off, he doesn't, but I can sleep late on Friday.
Okay, I'm off, but I will update this thing later, because I have a lot of things I want to write about.

| The 'little bug' has come to visit. |
[18 Dec 2004|10:02am] |
Stupid subject line. Actually, the 'little bug' is my cat Buttercup, that's just what I call her. And she brought my other cat, Tiggs, with her. He has a neverending obsession with eating anything green or flowery. Which sucks, because Shawn is always buying my flowers and I have to keep them in my bedroom, and make sure the door is always closed so he won't come in and eat them.
So yesterday was a short day at work, I got out around 1450 and it was nice. I went home at lunch and brought Blondie back so I could give her a bath, because she acts like it's her job to go out there and find whatever just crawled away and died, and roll around in it.
I don't have tons of stuff to write... or maybe I do, but I won't ever put it in here.
Today I am going shopping with my Dad. Shawn is on-call all weekend long.
Right now, this guy Dan that I was stationed with before, IMd me. It's kinda a long story... When I was out in Missouri, I was working at the VC and I worked the A-flight shift, from 0600-1800. Dan worked D-flight, and I would see him when I was getting on in the morning, or when he was getting on at night. I'm not sure how we started talking, but he started to call me and whenever he would go home on leave to Indiana, he would call me... I would always go down to the tent and check on him at night and make sure he didn't need anything. It turned out he was engaged. Then I guess they broke up, and we started hanging out a lot before I got my orders to come home. For over a year now, he has been trying to get me to go back out there and see him... and I haven't, but he wanted to come out here instead, since I wouldn't go out there, and I told him not to. At the time, Shawn and I weren't really together, I was dating someone else, but I just didn't know what to do... Dan told me that if he could get out of SF and go to Recruiter school, he would try to get an assignment out here so he could be near me. Well, he just told me that he is officially seperated from SF and is waiting a Tech School date. I am not sure what I think about this. I think his chances of coming out here are... not much... and then I wonder if the whole reason I've stayed in contact with him is because I have a lot of history out there, and once he leaves KN we won't have anything in common... I don't know. I don't really make much sense anyway.
Shawn is the best guy ever, though and nothing could ever make me screw it up.

The Christmas party was really nice. It is just so beautiful at Salem's. The party was upstairs, and the place was just so busy. There was a wedding, and some other party there, too, and the parking lot was full. There was a stretch Hummer, a stretch Escalade, and a stretch limo, and tons of people. The food was pretty good, too, and it was fun. I had 2 margaritas and 2 rum and cokes, and I know I shouldn't mix.. but I was okay, and it was good, and I didn't end up even close to being trashed. There is more I could write about the night, but... not really into it right now.
Today I went out to eat with my parents, my gram, and Shawn. Then he went and bought me a DVD player, since I still didn't have one. That was really nice of him, and I really didn't want to let him do it.. I feel guilty when someone buys me something like that... but he did anyway.
Then I came home and my Dad asked what was in the box, and it turns out that my parents bought me a DVD player last night for Christmas and my mom had already wrapped it. But Shawn had already set up the one he bought me.
And now tomorrow it's back to work.. :( The weekends go by way too fast.

Yesterday I got out of work early, Lynn let me leave around 3:15 which was really nice. I went with Shawn to his party last night. I had a few drinks, and ended up on the veryfine line of being trashed... I got pissed because this girl kept standing about 1/2 a foot away from him to talk to him, and I think she was doing it to purposely piss me off, and she checked herself out in the window just like clockwork: every 2 seconds. Then she wanted to tell him this "so funny story" about how her boyfriend asked to take her clothes off. Oh ya. So the party was pretty.. boring.. and we left around 8:45 and that was fine by me. So yea, I was feeling good by 8:30, but thats because I sucked down 3 rum and cokes in like 3 minutes. Grr. Today I went shopping to buy something to wear tonight to my work Christmas party. Why are Christmas shoppers so obnoxious? Oh my God. These old ladies were just so annoying, wanting to do 3 seperate transactions, to use 3 coupons, while there is a line of 12 people standing behind them. Then something gets rung up .20 cents more than what they thought the sign said it was supposed to be. I am glad I did most of my holiday shopping on the internet.
So since the party isn't till later on, cocktail hour at 6:30 and then dinner at 7:30.. we are going out to Pizza Hut whenever Shawn gets here. Because I need to eat if I want to have a drink when I get to the party.
Sorry, boring post... but that's just my life...

| But! |
[08 Dec 2004|09:20pm] |
But Shawn came over tonight after he got off of work... except he was on call so he couldn't stay long, because after being here about an hour, his cell rang.. ARGH. But before he had to go, he gave me the best massage ever... Almost as good as a real professional, haha ;)
I LOVE HIM.
And we had a great night last night, too, but then he went home and we got into an argument because I was being a jerk. He didn't even do anything wrong, I don't know what happened. I don't know what's wrong with me sometimes. But. Everything is okay now!

| 24 hours in the life of.... |
[08 Dec 2004|09:08pm] |
In the past 24 hours, I have "accomplished" many things.
1) I got bitten on the shoulder by a huge, huge, HUGE German Sherherd for no apparent reason... Friendly dog, licking my shirt... turns into a !!BITE!!, which left three tooth-shaped bleeding marks on my shoulder, and now it's nice and black and blue.
2) I shut my finger in a door for the first time since I was 8 years old.
3) I decided to put my lunch in the refridgerator today for some stupid reason, and then later found out that there was a possible rabid dogs HEAD in a plastic bag next to it.. And I honestly had no idea. Okay, so after that, not only was I grossed out, but Spaghetti-O's had lost ALL of their appeal.
So. I will stay clear of slamming any doors. I will try to make sure I don't smell or taste of anything that a dog would like to eat. And. I will not put anything in that damn refridgerator. Ever again. NEVER.
Goodnight.

Van Halen ~ "Right now" |
] |
...It ended up being a crappy day today at work. I got there a few minutes late because I followed someone in a red minivan going 13 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone. I walk in and much to my surprise... there was a flood in the grooming and reception area. Well, over the weekend there must have been a clog somewhere in a drain and there was a mini-lake right at my feet. And that sucked. It took me 45 minutes to mop it all up, and then a genius turned on the water in the sink to see what would happen, and I had to spend another 20 minutes mopping. So, well, the morning just kinda sucked. Not much else to say about that. I did get a nice $10 tip today, and I got a $10 tip last Friday too... Nice. Now it is snowing out, but I did get to try out my new Rubicon in the snow for the first time. And it was great, and I really didn't need four-wheel drive so I didn't use it... but I love that damn thing so much. Tomorrow morning is supposed to be really icy, so I don't know if she will end up cancelling tomorrows appointments or not.. I guess we will see. One client already called up to cancel. I own a crazy cat who likes to burrow between all of my stuffed animals, as if she is one of them, and she blends right in.. her little face among all the other furry little faces... and when you walk by her, she jumps out. I told her the next time she does that, I'll have to take a hostage. I don't think she took me seriously. Nevermind, I think I'm just a little silly tonight.

AiC ~ "Man in the box" |
] |
Tonight on '60 Minutes', there was a story about how the Army is calling back all these people who were discharged.. these people who had supposedly fulfilled their obligations to the military.. They were all Army people, but they had even called back a man who had pins in his arm. I don't think they mentioned any other branches, but if they called back a guy who had pins in his arm.. they must be really hard up for troops. My parents asked me what I thought my odds would be of getting called back up. I don't think so, but if I had to, what could I do? I would just have to go. I tore a rotator cuff, but if they have a guy in active duty now who was out for 16 years, and I've only been out since 2003... hmm, I don't know. I'm not worried. I was never scared of serving this country, anyway, otherwise I never would have signed on that line when I was 17 and straight out of high school. That's why it pisses me off a little, hearing people whine about how they might call up the draft.. and ::gasp:: that would even maybe include women and college students. I mean, what am I? I'm not exactly G.I. Jane, I don't have a shaved head, I'm not a body builder... I have long blond hair and I wear make-up. But I made it through the same training that some guys couldn't even do. I'm not saying that I deserve a medal or something... not even a cookie, heh... but it's about time that people realize that everything is not their God-given right, you can't just take, take, take all the time, you need to give back once in awhile.. and no, the military lifestyle is not for everyone. Lots of people don't make it, and can't handle it. It's not always fun. You are like a family, you stick together through the good times and the bad times. You get pissed at each other a lot, like brothers and sisters do. But you come together and protect each other, and look out for each other. And in this day and age, we need to see how important this is.. Terrorism has been around a very long time, and it will be around even longer. It's not going to be easy. But people have to step the hell up. I think I've done my time, though, but we will see I guess. And it sucks, but if they are letting amputees stay in, and they are calling back inactive reservists of 16 years ago... it doesn't look good. I don't think they will bring back a draft, but if people don't go willingly... I don't know...

[04 Dec 2004|11:20pm] |
I had the best experience yesterday at work. There was a very cute cat there. Named 'Chessie'. She was just adorable. Adorable enough, that when I picked her up, she peed all over me. It took me awhile to realize what she was doing, because she left a trail all over the floor by the time I felt it seeping through my grooming shirt/t-shirt, and my black pants. So I went upstairs to borrow some scrubs to wear, and I was in a pissy.. yes, pissy mood... and I thought I still smelled, so I went home on my lunch break to change. From now on, I will make sure to keep extra clothes in my Jeep just in case that ever happens again. Then after I got out of work, I went out to eat with my parents... Shawn was on call last night, and he came over for awhile, but he got a call to go on, and I just told him that I would call him today because I was tired and wanted to go to bed.
Well, I think I might have an abscessed tooth. Not sure, but I think so... And it sucks. Suck. I went to the dentist 2 months ago and I had x-rays and everything was fine, so I don't know... Unless maybe I have a sinus infection or something, because I guess sometimes your gums get swollen if you do, since your sinuses are so close... whatever, I don't know. I have never had a sinus infection before... I just don't need this shit right now.
This is a sad time of year for lots of people. I miss my Grandpa, I miss Betty, I miss lots and lots of people. Gerry Barry just died a few days ago, he was such a wonderful man. I try not to think about everything to much because I'll end up crying, especially when I'm overtired or whatever... There are just so many sad things in life.
So then today after waking up at 6 am, which I hated because I never get to sleep anymore... I took a shower, and then passed out on my bed for a couple more hours... and I didn't do anything all day long, except go out looking at fake Christmas trees with my parents... and we decided to get another real tree this year. I like real trees better. Then we went out to eat again, and I came home and Shawn called and he came over. He didn't have to leave at all, which was nice for once... We watched COPS, and I took some Tylenol for my headache and I got tired but he woke me up :D, it sucks on the weekends that he is on call because we can't really go out and do anything in case he gets paged. Bleh. But next weekend he has the weekend off.. Friday night after I get out of work, it's his FD's Christmas party, and Saturday night is my work Christmas party. It's at Salem Crofs. Or Cross. I never know what to call it. But it's supposed to be beautiful, and I can't wait. Then on Sunday we are going shopping and to get some pizza.
Well I am talking to the wonderful Miss Courtney right now... I'm happy to have her to talk to again, I missed her.
I have the rodent (aka Chihuahua), 'Johnny', in my room right now.. and thank goodness, he is being quiet for once....
Night, all.
