I was reviewing the bank account and here this morning while I was waiting for something to load and low and behold, I see we have NSF fees charged on the checking account.

I'm like "What the hell?" So, after looking, I could not figure out where they came from. Believe me, I check my bank account ever 20 minutes because I'm so worried about going below zero.

SO, I had to go to the bank branch anyway to attach a PIN to my card (I couldn't do it the ATM or over the phone like they said) and they still can't do it immediately at the bank either. I have to wait 2 business days or so for it to be activated because they have to send my PIN to the bank or something. Regardless, I had him explain to me where the NSF fees came from and now it has me extremely depressed.

We had post dated a check for $500.00 for part of the down payment on the car and it came out at the WORST time. It was debited from the bank on July 11th. I dated the check for June 29th. Talk about a fast turn-around time...ugh...When that check was taken out, it royally fucked our bank account. I paid the Xcel energy bill which put us in the hole $50.00. THEN, Brian went and charged KFC, Qdoba, Tokyo Joes and some other fast food place on there. SO, I was charged the $33.00 for paying the gas/electric bill. Brian charged up $132.00 on there for buying fast food (I would say, a total of maybe $20.00...so, that was a grand total of $155.00 for fast food...SOME PRETTY DAMN EXPENSIVE FAST FUCKING FOOD!). At least what I overdrafted was for a damn necessity. We had another check come out of there and then two other charges for fast food (you can see we have a problem here)...All in all, we were charged $165.00 NSF and $99.00 NFS for a whopping grand total of $264.00 in NSF fees on top of the expenses that put us in the hole in the first place. We were $500.00+ in the hole! So much for Brian's paycheck being anything...it was paying the damn NSF fees that got charged to the account. My paycheck went toward paying the other half of the NSF junk and then some. Out of our whole paychecks combined, we have $600.00 left. How pitiful is that.

Fucking a...that just was the cherry on my sundae today though.

I'm basically working alone now...for how long, I don't know. My department usually has 3 people in it. We had 3 people in it. It was going great...we were caught up and things were peachy. Well, they fired one of them, why? I don't know...but then it was down to 2 people. We were doing great just the two of us. Things were getting mostly done...peachy keen. They transferred her into another area of our department and got someone new to take her spot. Well, this new person decided that we were too snotty and didn't really like working here, so my boss kicked her out the door this morning. This leaves me, ALL ALONE, working the job of 3 people and it majorly sucks. If I didn't already feel behind before...now I feel EXTREMELY behind.

So, I'm depressed about the whole job thing, depressed about the damn bank account...stressed out because I don't know how we're going to come up with the money for the car payment and the rent payment and how we're going to pack all of the shit up in time to get out by the 12th. I can only hope we have living arrangements by then or else I'm going to literally SCREAM and rip my hair out.

At this moment in time, I thoroughly hate myself and life...at these times, I wish I wasn't here...but then who would there be shit on if I wasn't? SO, I guess I serve a purpose for someone since I always get the short end of the stick...fuckin' a...

Well, I'm back from Seattle already.

Greg and I flew in on Friday night and we got there about 9:30 or so. My mom was so excited to see him (if she could, she would have been down waiting by the gate ready to jump on us, but she had to wait by the elevator). My cousin Holly was there and DANG! Last time I saw her was about 3 years ago and she was 8 years old, so she looked completely different. It was crazy. She just wanted to hold the baby all weekend.

Anyway, drove down to Puyallup and met everyone else who was sitting around the campfire. Auntie Rita and Sarah (my cousin) probably came the farthest. They drove all the way from New Jersey to Washington. Uncle Roger (auntie Rita's husband) flew in from Las Vegas...they will be moving there once Auntie Rita sells their house. Kelly and Trevor (my two cousins) both drove up from Arizona. They are Auntie Rita's sons. They brought their family so Trevor's wife Anjelie was there (I probably spelled her name wrong) and Kelly's girlfriend Tara and their two kids were there (Tristan and Caleb). Auntie Toni, Uncle Al and Cassie drove all the way up from Rochester (it's a smaller town down by Centralia and Chehalis). My mom and dad and Tim were already there. Auntie Cheri and all of her kids (Evan, Adam, Lindsay, Holly, and Abby) drove down the street. Everything was done at my Auntie Cindy, Uncle Fred, and Cody's house and my grandma lives in the front yard in a manufactured home. My grandpa lives in the garage they converted to an apartment. My mom's half sister Tracy came with her 2 kids and my mom's half brother came with his 3 kids and his girlfriend. My other cousins came too (Shannon and her girlfriend - then my cousin Brian and his wife and their 3 kids). All in all, there were TONS of people there...not to mention, there were just about the same number of dogs (Koby, Erita, Scooby, Sandy, Rufus, Angel, Lucy (this is Angel's pup), Abby (this is Shannon's dog Abby, not to be confused with my cousin Abby). TOO MANY PEOPLE!! When my mom sends it to me, I'll get the family picture up and going.

Anyway, we had lots of fun. Tim, Uncle Al, Cassie, and I went golfing Saturday morning. I did not do very well at all and frankly, I sort of sucked. Tim kicked our butt as usual. It always happens that way.

I wish I could have spent more time there, but it wasn't happening.

Anyway, I better get to work and all that. I'm leaving early because Greg has his 6 month doctor's appointment and he's getting shots again today. Poor little guy! He won't need any more shots until he's a year old and he won't have to go back to see the doctor again until he's a year old!

I decided to go see Harry Potter last night at 10:45pm. That was the earliest time we could see it after Brian got off work, so I met him at the movie theater. The movie ROCKED. I enjoyed it. There were things that did not match the book (a given), but all in all, it was a great movie. I would recommend it. I got home at 1:30am and I'm beat! I just want to go to sleep this morning.

In other news, today is Thursday and I fly to Seattle tomorrow. I'm sure ya'll knew that. I'm getting excited...my mom can finally see the baby!

Anyway, I'm gonna keep this short...I got stuff to do and I'm probably gonna move a little bit slower at it since I'm so extremely tired.

I got new pics of Greg. I think they turned out fantastic!













Don't forget about postcards...if you want one. PM your info so I can get one to you. I leave on Friday!

If ya'll want a postcard from Seattle, just private message me with your information and I'll make sure to do it when I'm out there.

Don't worry, I'm not going to use your address for anything other than sending postcards. And Nuttz, I'll send you a postcard. It can't cost more than a dollar to send it, so I don't care. My friend sent me a letter from Japan and I don't think it cost her that much, so a postcard is going to be a lot less!

Anyway...I gotta get to work. My trainee person gets here in about 5 minutes. I also have my yearly review today at work. We'll see how that goes. 30 minutes, in the office, with the bosses, alone...with the door shut. It's always nervewracking!!! You never want to hear your bad qualities or good qualities (okay, maybe I want to hear my good qualities), but it's always scary to me!

Hello folks...

This morning has been okay. I woke up and had an ample amoun of time to get ready, I suppose. I'm tired, but that's a normal thing.

I'm still debating whether or not I want to go watch the midnight showing of Harry Potter. I want to like I did for the last movie, but I'm going to be a complete and udder zombie if I do. I have to work the next morning and I'll be running on 3 hours of sleep or so. I think I may just wait until next week or something.

In other news, I'll be flying to Seattle this Friday with Gregory. We'll be visiting my family...any requests for post cards? I'll send them out while I'm at my parent's house. You'll get them, of course, after I get back home in Denver, but at least you can say you got something from someone from Seattle ;)

Ummmmm...I can't really think of anything else at the moment.

I'll post some pictures of Gregory then since he's always something everyone wants to see.


Here's a picture of me and him. It's sort of before bedtime, but he really should be going to sleep.


Here he is trying to drink out of a straw. He's too little for straws, but it was cute anyway. He did manage to get SOME liquid up into the straw, but not nearly close enough to where it would come out of the straw. I think he really just wanted to chew on the straw more than anything else.


Here he is with his toothy little grin!


Here's a picture of the new car...we've almost had it for a month and it still looks good!

Anyway...time to work...

This was Gregory's first 4th of July (and first bout with fireworks) and he just slept through the entire show. Huge booms, lots of flashing, lots of Gregory just snoring away. I was able to record some of the show on my phone, so here you can watch some.



Other than that, we thought we were going to get rained out. The dark clouds rolled in, we got some sprinkles...but it never happened. The shitty thing though...we were sitting there and the show should have started about 9:30 and nothing happened. We saw Thornton (over the trees) lighting off their fireworks. We saw Westminster lighting off their fireworks. We had fireworks to the east and west of us and Northglenn just sitting around. It was fun when it got started. There was some crazy guy with a video camera though singing and video taping random people asking what day it was and all that. He was drunk...

I'll have to go again next year with Gregory. He'll be a year and a half and will probably have a lot more fun and hopefully won't sleep through the whole thing.
