Last night

08.25.04 (5:40 am) [edit]

Tonight is the last night I will be spending in my old bed. I am here packing up my bedroom as I am getting the trailer tomorrow. I will be spending tomorrow night at a friend's house then will be leaving on Friday for PA. I should not be online right now as I have way too much to do but since I am not leaving tonight I have lots of time.

Wish me luck.

2 more packing days to go

08.23.04 (1:17 pm) [edit]

Well, here it is Monday and I still don't have everything done yet. The LR is almost completely done but that still leaves the bedroom to do and the bathroom to clean. Plus I am going to be taking some stuff from my kitchen but most of it I am going to leave as I don't need the stuff. My landlord is going to be pissed at me becaue I am not going to worry about getting this placed super clean. After all he hasn't done much for me so why should I clean for him? :)

Part of me can't wait for the move and part of me doesn't want to drive with a trailer behind the Jeep as I have never done that before. Oh well, I guess I will do ok.

Time to go do some work. Wish I could afford to pay someone to do this for me.

Last day of work

08.22.04 (5:47 pm) [edit]

Well today was my last day at work. I only worked 4 hours. My boss says if I ever want to come back I have a job waiting for me. I have to tell you that felt really good. And the people I watched the house for have said that I can live with them if I find out that things don't work out in PA.

I don't know when I will be back online though as I am going to be concentrating on what I want to take with me and I don't think the new place has internet yet. Will have to wait until I get there.

Its been a while

08.16.04 (10:34 am) [edit]

Its been awhile since I posted anything so let me catch you up on what has been going on in my life.

My job....well finally put in my two weeks notice. My last day is Aug 22. Some of the people there are sad that I am leaving but oh well...it doesn't pay the bills so that means it is not worth keeping. Also found out one of the less popular (at least with the employees) cashiers who is also only part time got a $1 raise while I only got a quarter. That is crap as far as I am concerned.

Packing....haven't gotten as much done as I wanted and so I have to really get my butt in gear. I will probably not worry about the stuff I don't want to take with me and let the landlord get rid of it. I am such a bitch after all :) I am even thinking of not paying for any rent past the day I move out. After all with me moving and not having a job yet I need all the money I can get.

Not much else is going on so I will close now. I am housesitting for a friend who is at Pennsic this week so I don't know when I will be back. Have fun

Just some boring stuff

08.02.04 (7:47 am) [edit]

I hate my bank. They take out $40 for no reason and now I have to be on hold with awful music so I can see what this is all about and see if it can be fixed.

Went to an event on Saturday with friends that was very much fun. Got to hug a former King twice. He is such a sweety. Then went out to dinner and ate too much food. Overall it was a pretty good day.

Had to stay home from work yesterday though as I got too much sun and was sick.

Still looking for a truck. Found a really cute Ford Ranger with a 2.3L 4cylindar. I don't know how good it would be do tow a trailer for the move but I am going to test drive it. It is a stick which I like though. Who knows.

I hate banks.....I got the same runaround I got last night...."I can't tell you why the debit was made and will need to research it more...I will get back with you then"

Looked at the truck today

07.26.04 (11:29 am) [edit]

Well I went to test drive the Chevy with the V6 in it and although it was kinda fun to drive there were several problems. One of them is that it is burning oil really bad. The second is that the brakes are really spongy which means either bad brakes or is simply has air in the line. The third thing is that the gear shift indicator doesn't work so you don't know what gear you are in. That isn't much of a problem once you get used to driving it though.

Well I am going to be looking more before the move so I may find something better.

Life still goes on

07.25.04 (6:50 am) [edit]

Well it has been quite some time since I last wrote anything and life has just moved on day by day. Nothing really exciting.

So many things I want to talk about and yet if I do then I know I shall incur the wrath of many. How does one explain getting involved with a married man when you like his wife as much as you like him? I know that I would cut off my friendship with both of them before I hurt her but this man makes me feel wonderful when we are together. I hate the way he makes me feel too. How does one act strong when one wants to be weak?

In one way work is good in some ways and not so good in others. It seems like one young female seems to take great pleasure in alienating people. She went to the asst manager of the store to complain about a misunderstanding I had with her father about her discount. He didn't know her number and I thought that if you get the discount you would know the number. Oh well she now is disliked by all the cashiers. I hope she is happy.

Am looking at a Chevy pickup for my next vehicle. I still am a bit reluctant because if I get a pickup I will need to get some kind of cover for the back end because I will be storing stuff there and using it for moving some of my stuff. Also it is where I would carry stuff when I go to Pennsic. What to do? The other vehicles I am looking have have V8s and get less gas milage. What to do?

Happy Birthday to me...

07.19.04 (3:43 am) [edit]

one day late. I am 44 and way too old. Wish I were young.

A new quiz

07.13.04 (2:48 pm) [edit]

Elrond

A stern yet benevolent organizer who often knows best, your wits are keenly fixed on aiding efforts you deem worthy.

Now at this last we must take a hard road, a road unforseen. There lies our hope, if hope it be. To walk into peril to Mordor.

Elrond is a character in the Middle-Earth universe. TheOneRing.net has a short biography.

I am so lucky

07.11.04 (7:02 pm) [edit]

Have I ever mentioned that I have wonderful parents? They came for a visit for my birthday (never mind which one ). We went to see a Rembrandt exhibit at a local museum then went to an opera at the local college which was ok but not great. Today we went on a paddleboat ride. At lunch we talked about me moving 12 hours away from where they live and how I would be there for my next birthday. Well my mom said they would simply visit me there and that it is no big thing. Well it is a big thing because my mom is 76 and my dad is 73. My dad does the driving. My mom says that she has always wanted to visit Hershey anyway. I have great parents and even though it is not popular to say...I
love my parents completely.

Why am I just sitting around?

07.10.04 (7:05 am) [edit]

My parents are due to be here in town in about 2.5 hours and all I am doing is sitting around playing on this silly computer. I should be organizing the info on stuff that is going on so they can decide if they want to do any of it. My parents like me to have stuff to do when they come to town. Only problem is that I live in a crappy small town and there really isn't much to do. Well now I have to get up and start doing something.

Be well and stay safe.

52 days to go

07.06.04 (4:25 pm) [edit]

Lets see....what did I do this weekend. Well I had to work on Sat and had Sun. and Mon. off. I did as little as possible. I managed to get a box of books packed and taped up on Sun and I did my work laundry on Monday. Not exactly an exciting weekend. Oh and I did do some planning on what my parents' and I are going to be doing when they visit next weekend. There is a production of the opera Don Giovanni at the local college that I would like to see plus there is a Rembrandt exhibit at a local art museum. My parents like museums as much as I do so I am hoping they will want to go to see the exhibit.

I really need to get moving on my packing though. I keep looking at what needs to be done yet and I am overwhelmed. I believe in what Einstein said about relativity. Time moves relative to future events. For me time is moving much too quickly as I only have 52 more days until I want to be leaving this state yet the people who are expecting me say the time is moving much too slowly.

Another silly addition

Ok this one is for my SCA name. I am sure I like it better.

I am a Royalist

07.04.04 (10:11 am) [edit]

I am such a Royalist I think those people you call Patriots were simply traitors to the crown.

Well today is another boring day. I had cable disconnected because I am going to be moving soon and I just didn't want to pay for it anymore. This means no good shows on as I don't have a good antenna. I can watch some shows I taped and my DVDs but I only have a few DVDs and they can get boring if you keep watching them. I guess I could clean and pack some more but I just don't have the energy. Maybe I will take a cool shower and see if that will make me more energetic.

Nothing to say

07.03.04 (7:21 am) [edit]

Found another quiz

Uncial

Uncial- You are simple and easily understood, but
tend to have many different faces.

What Calligraphy Hand Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Don't know if it is true but there it is. This is all I am going to put in today as I have nothing else to write about and I don't get home from work until late tonight. I do have Sunday and Monday off so maybe more then.

The wrong man again

07.02.04 (5:39 pm) [edit]

Son-of-a-bitch. Why do I always fall for the wrong man? There is a man in the local group who is everything I ever wanted in a man. He is strong, sexy, handsome, sweet and all the good things you can find in a man. He is the local seneshal, a heavy figher and he cooks. He can look you in the eyes and make you think there is no one else in the room. He comes with only one bad thing and that is a wife who is as wonderful as he is so that makes him the wrong man. You know it is ok to take a man away from a bitch but I like his wife as much as I like him and there is something wrong with a female having both a wife and a husband . I guess that is another good reason to move to PA. I need to find my own man instead of falling for somone else's man

What an interesting day

07.01.04 (5:45 pm) [edit]

Caught a shoplifter today. She tried to say the stuff that she was going to steal was not in her purse but I saw her take them out. In fact I grabbed them as soon as she pulled them out of her purse. My manager wasn't going to do much except take her name and ask her not to come back but she took off so we got her car plate number and reported her to the police. The store will probably press charges against her now. The thing is she was only taking a car freshner, a refill for it and some DeWalt drill bits. I think she may have some mental problems and that is why she took it. Fortunately she didn't try to run me and my manager over.

Got my review at work and they made me full time but only gave me a 25 cent raise. Oh well I am only going to be there for another 2 months so I am not going to worry about it. As long as I can keep this job until then.

Another day another dollar

06.30.04 (4:01 pm) [edit]

So many things to write about and none of them interesting . Got my evaluation at work and they decided to keep me so that means I will have a job until I am ready to move to PA.

Cable got disconnected today....that is the first concrete thing going on except for packing for my move to PA. Now I get about 5 channels. Only one of them is one I really watch but I have plenty of DVDs and VCR tapes so I shouldn't be too bored. If I am I can just listen to my Yahoo radio setup.

I keep buying silly stuff to take with me to PA. One of the local stores had a Galileo thermometer and an Atomic Alarm clock with a digital weather station. They were only $5 each so I thought it would be cute to have them.

I really need to get moving on my packing. I should be packing every second I am at home but after work I just don't want to be on my feet. I wish I had someone to help me. Only 58 more days until I leave this state.

Silly addons

06.28.04 (6:10 pm) [edit]

Well I have added a bunch of silly stuff to my blog. Tell me what you think of them

Musings and amusings

06.28.04 (2:03 pm) [edit]

Watched "Extreme Makeover:Home Addition" last night. Was it last night? Yeah I think it was..anyway...I always cry during that show and last night was no exception. I don't know why I cry though. Could it be I am jealous that even though these people have a life that is in some ways worse than mine they have one much better? The one last night was about a lady who was a widow with 9 children. I have always wanted a large family and now it is just me. I lost my family when my ex divorced me. My ex took my 2 children and I am alone.

Well not completely alone as my parents are still alive and I have one brother and three sisters but they live more than 5 hours from me. I have no friends in this silly town and that is why I am moving to where I do have friends. I am going to move away from my family but closer to my SCA family.

Ok this is now confusing for anyone but me...I wonder if I should post it. oh well guess I will just to get the bucks.
Wish I knew more about html so I could make my blog look better.

Sorry I guess no amusings this time.

Oh what you can find

06.22.04 (6:47 pm) [edit]

It is amazing what you can find as you start packing to move. Lets see I have found my car title, my eyeglass prescription (its very old so I don't know if it does me any good), stamps that are old enough that I need to buy more to send a letter with them, and 2 tax returns that need to be sent in so I can get the refunds. Oh and I found some chocolate too

I have bought so many trashy romance books that I have decided to not take them to the new place with me. I am going to just donate them to the Salvation Army along with all the other stuff I don't want to take.

I keep buying stupid stuff though. More fabric for more projects that I know I am not going to do before I move. After all I need all the time I have now to pack up everything in the apartment and decide what to keep and what to get rid of .

Be well all and stay safe.

Musings from a strange day

06.21.04 (2:42 pm) [edit]

Well today was another lazy day off. Talked to my parents last night. They didn't seem at all upset that I plan on moving to PA. My dad had some wonderful things to say about me. I love my parents. I was so blessed when my dad married my step mom and she became my mom. They are wonderful, healthy and loving. They are just really good people. I wish I could be more like them.

Yep I was stupid

06.19.04 (7:33 pm) [edit]

Ok I did something officially stupid. Earlier today I had a headache and I took 4 Tylenol plus 2 Excederin. The Tylenol was ok but the Exederin has caffiene and since I don't drink anything with caffeine I am now wired. Problem here is I need to get up early as I have to be to work at 9 in the morning and I am just not tired enough to go to bed. Someone make me sleepy. :lol:
