HAPPY BIRTHDAY [info]karissathatsme1 !!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY [info] yuvi </span>!!
dragonamara:
You know you're owned by a cet when.....
Feeling: amused amused


....you're digging in your purse to find your keys, and find a toy mouse.

I guess it's Liam's way of saying I Love You since he can't go out and hunt and bring me a real dead mouse, or bird.
dragonamara:
I fail at updating.
Feeling: *eh* *eh*


I'd love to blame it all on 'work is lame and the post an entry page never fully loads', but we all I'm just lazy and boring ^_^

There's nothing gigungous going on or anything, or there would've been an update sooner!

Liam's been a little shit lately and has been knocking everything he can down at ass o'clock in the mornings, like my bedside lamp.  It's great.

Mom's suddenly has this hair up her ass for me to buy a house.  Because it's a buyers market and rates are low and it's a smart investment BLAHBLAHBLAH.  Yeah, only I'm living paycheck to paycheck, and then there's all the hidden costs of a house.  No thanks.  I'm in about as much debt as I can stand currently.  Maybe if I ever end up finding a man, or someone to live with that I wouldn't eventually want to kill, or a fatass raise, I might think about it.

And if rumors can be believed, my favorite new show (Leverage) is set to be filming in Portland.  If that's the case, I may have to visit Oregonia, see if I can meet my future husband *wags eyebrows*
dragonamara:
Oddly proud


So, I'm going to make a gigantic pot of soup today (cause it makes awesomely quick meals when I freeze it) and I forgot red onions and broth last night.

Yeah, I know, go me right??

Well, I really didn't feel like driving, and the grocery store isn't all that far away.  So I walked.

For the first time since I've been in my apartment, I walked to the grocery store that's like, 2 streets away.  And damn did it feel good!  I just plugged in my ipod, grabbed my bag & credit card, and went.

Granted, I could've probably been done in like, 15 minutes if I had driven over there, but it only took me a little over half an hour and I didn't use any gas.

And that is why I'm oddly proud.
dragonamara:


HAPPY BIRTHDAY [info]trimalynn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



dragonamara:
*sigh*


I didn't get that job I interviewed for. 

Am trying to not drown in emo, cause seriously, emo!!

dragonamara:
*MEEP!*
Feeling: aggravated aggravated


Okay, so I'm starting to freak out about my interview tomorrow >.>  I really want this job for many reasons, not the least of which are 1) I'd be off the phones for good! b) I wouldn't be ass last in priorities constantly and lastly, I wouldn't have to sit next to the most worthless waste of space I've ever met!

I'll save that rant for another time, since I have a feeling it's going to be a gigantic one!

But you know you're going to have a day when it takes 45 minutes to travel 2 miles.  45 minutes people!!!  So much for trying to get to work early & get out early!  Also?  It's called merging not barging and just cause you remembered your turn signal, doesn't mean that there's magically, immediately space for you in the next lane.  I hope your tiny penis shrivels up and falls off Hummer jackass.

Then traffic on the way home?  Yeah, I hit it like a $2 hooker.
dragonamara:
Feeling: kinda christmassy, actually kinda christmassy, actually


Happy Christmas Flist!

Hope your holidays are fantastic!  I love you all!

dragonamara:
Okay winter, enough...no really


Yeah, we got hit fairly hard with the white stuff here.  6 inches where I am, over a foot at my aunt & uncles. 

Let me tell you something, we are not equipped for this kind of storm!!  The city I live in?  I think we have 2 snowplows.  2!  For an entire urban city!  We don't get snow that sticks all that often, and we got dumped on!  And my internet was down *pout*

My work was only open for 2 1/2 hours on Thursday, had a late opening (10 am) on Friday and was closed completely yesterday.  It's a good freakin thing I have about 9 days of time off banked, cause only 6 hours is paid by the company cause we only get 8 hours a year for emergency shut down.  So yeah, either we have to make the time up in the same week (no way to do it last week!), take the loss or use the paid time off that we have accumulated.  This does not make me happy.  They took the decision away from me for 16 hours of work time with no real way to make it up.  If we have a late start tomorrow, there goes any hopes of making up time cause we're only open 6-6.  And hey, the office is closed on Thursday and Friday!  I'm so very close to just call in tomorrow and say 'fuck it' since I have to use my time anyway.

Aaaaaaaanyway.  So yeah, I was getting cabin fever there cause no only was I not driving there, I couldn't even walk over to my gym cause they were closed.  So I was a big fat slug for an entire three day weekend.  

But I have my internet back (obviously) and will probably take tomorrow off since, besides the interstate and major roads, the roads are solid ice.

Awesome.

dragonamara:


Oh man, I suck at updating.......but I'll have to do that this weekend cause this week just sucks.  I've got the vacation backlash going on at work...whee!

But in the meantime, I caved to peer pressure.

What has surprised you the most about me (if anything) since joining my flist/"friending me"? Was anything completely unexpected or have I always fit the picture of me you have in your head?

Post this in your own journal and see how you have surprised people!


dragonamara:


HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!!!

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like you. Then put this in your own journal, and spread the love.
dragonamara:
Homg accomplished!
Feeling: pooped but pleased pooped but pleased


Wow, I don't think we've slowed down except to sleep since I got here.

When Liz picked me up Saturday we went shopping for some groceries and got a few movies, then went to the commissary with her mom to get ingredients for beef stew which was SOGOOD!  Then I crashed fairly early cause I was going off of like, 3 hours of sleep and was getting a bit of a headache.

Then yesterday we woke up early to go to spin class both kicked my ass and killed my ass.  Those seats are not made for comfort.  I can't imagine what my bum will feel like if I didn't wear the padded shorts.  Then we came home & got ready, then went to have tea in Annapolis which was awesome.  I got my xmas pressy from Liz, which were the two teas we had, both highly yummy.  Not to mention cute little food! ^_^

Then we walked down to an Irish shop that Liz had seen before and wanted to show me.  Sadly, they didn't have the ring that I really liked in silver in my size, so I didn't get to get a ring for my left hand *woe*. 

After that we went to Homestead Gardens where we looked at all their xmas stuff.  Homg, such pretty things there.  I could tolerate xmas a bit more if I went for some of the themes that they had there, like a fairy tree or one that was all blue and white.  We're going back tomorrow so I can bring my camera and take pictures of Teh Pretteh.  After that we hit the grocery store yet again.

Today we got up at the ASSCRACK OF DAWN to go to spin class, which hurt my ass even more, but the first bike I was on (in the back), the pedal broke.  Then the instructor wheeled in a new bike and put it in the front & the opposite side of Liz *pout*, then that one had a broken resistance thingy, so my workout wasn't as intense as it could have been.  But oh well.  Then we came home & ate a quick brekky so we could get to Liz's appointment, which went well.  Then there was shopping at Westfield Mall, where I got a cute hat and wallet and Liz got supercute clothes *hates her a little, cause I just can't pull off fashion*  But I found out I dropped 2 pants sizes!  WOOHOO!!!!  I was quite pleased with that!  Then we had sushi which was very good, and yes! Hit the grocery store again! ^_^  Now we are home and chillin'.

I just may need a vacation after my vacation O.o

dragonamara:
Woohoo!!
location: sea-tac
Feeling: chipper chipper
Listening to: airport sounds, haven't busted out the ipod yet


I'm in the airport, waiting to board the first leg of my flight to see Liz!!! *spastically dancing internally*

Also? Totally have to keep hiking up my jeans cause the pudge that held them up is gone baby gone!

*posted via blackjack, apologies for spelling/formatting errors*
dragonamara:
bleh
Feeling: crappy crappy



I don't know why, but I woke up in an awful mood today.  And by awful, I don't mean pissy, but just horribly, idescribably down.  Not even working out helped.

And then I'm on the phones all day, so I can't even curl up in a semi-cocoon of ignorance, instead I'm probably going to get people screaming at me cause rates are going up......again.  They go up every year, this shouldn't be a shocker anymore!

On the other hand??  It's Thursday.  Which means not only is tomorrow Friday, but HOMG I GO TO SEE [info]trimalynn ON SATURDAY FOR A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
dragonamara:
I know, I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaay late with this
Feeling: America! Fuck Yeah! America! Fuck Yeah!


Since all the words have pretty much been said, I'll just say this.

HELL FUCKIN' YEAH!!!!!

Obama Pictures and McCain

dragonamara:
OMG!!!

My late 40-something neighbor.

Who is male.
