Eddie Izzard is a hilarious comedian. This is a lego animatic of one of his skits.


We haven't had a sit-down family dinner in a few weeks because of everyone's schedules; mainly mom's night shifts. So we were trying to plan a family dinner for Saturday because I'd be here, mom, Steve and Lori would all be home. But we weren't sure about Anthony or Jacob. Jacob said he'd be able to make it, but that still left us unsure about Anthony's schedule. I looked on the schedule at work and saw that he has to work Saturday.

So spur of the moment, I decided earlier today to try for tonight instead. I figured we'd all be here so it would work. Good idea, yes? Not so much. I didn't know Lori had a choir thing going on tonight and Jacob forgot he had a meeting to go to at 7. So basically it'll only be the three of us eating dinner. It seemed like a good idea earlier. At least I tried.

Anywho, I was half an hour late to work this morning. Jake didn't leave until midnight and I had to be up at quarter after 3. I remember waking up with my alarm and I remember resetting it for 15 minutes later. Next thing I know, it's 4:04am. I was 4 minutes late to work. I called to let Monica know that I had just woken up and I'd be in there shortly.

We were supposed to have a truck today, but it never came. We were all pretty happy about that. I worked toys with Tammy today. It was a little funny because yesterday Jake and I were looking for a kite. I didn't think we had any so we searched three different stores and found nothing. Working in toys today, I realized we had kites. Jake and I were supposed to buy one today, but one thing led to another and us hanging out earlier didn't happen.

I guess today just isn't my day. Hopefully things will work out tomorrow ... or the next day we plan for a family thing.

I was afraid I would have had to take an unexpected hiatus. Luckily, I don't.

See what happened was, the cable and interent were shut off last night. I didn't know how we were going to get it turned back on because there was no way I'd be able to afford the balance.

After thinking about it, though, I asked mom if we paid the overdue balance, rather than the whole thing, would they turn it back on? So she took my phone, called the cable company and found out they would. I gave her my card and had the past due balance paid.

This is the second time I've had to have the cable turned back on. I really, actually, don't care so much about the cable, but I'd probably go through withdrawls if I went too long without the net. Especially with my comp staring me in the face.

When I was living on my own, I went without the net for a year, but I didn't have a comp so there was no point in having it.

Alright, that's it for now. I'll write a real entry later.

Oh yeah, I'm working tomorrow. She wants me to work a full shift, which means I'll actually be getting an hour more than originially scheduled. Needless to say, I'm pretty happy about it.

It was about 10 degrees cooler today than it was yesterday, but the sun made it feel just as hot. The fact that it was windy didn't really help either, considering it was a warm wind. It just blew dust and hair everywhere.

The truck sucked towards the end. It always does, though. No matter how well packed the truck is, whenever we get close to the end, it sucks. We're all tired and we just want to be done with it.

My hours were cut. I'm now scheduled off tomorrow and Thursday, but Monica still wants me to work tomorrow. I'm hoping it'll be a full shift. Otherwise I'll have no idea how I'll be getting home. If I get out earlier than what I tell my mom, I have no way of contacting her to let her know I'm done early. I'm the one with the phone.

Part of me hopes I get called in on Thursday, the other part of me wants to sleep in. Who knows what'll happen.

I got the new Pasta Hut chicken alfredo dish. It was alright. Better than I thought it would be, but you can tell exactly how it's made. Something I could do here at home. The problem? I spent money I didn't have. But what else is new.

I have no plans for tonight. I can't go anywhere even if I wanted to cuz Steve has the car. He needed to get some stuff done that probably should have been done yesterday, if not sooner, but he forgot. That's how I was able to get the car.

So as of right now, I'm home alone. It's enjoyable. I like being alone in the house. It's quiet and less smokey.

My day, other than work, has been pretty much uneventful. And even work was uneventful.

This morning I had to get up around 9 because Jean was coming over to get the rest of her stuff. There's still a few things here, but everything that was in the garage is now gone. If we do some rearranging, we can actually fit a small car in the garage.

There was a little tension in the air. Probably because Steve's car is still parked in the driveway; as it's still uninsured thus meaning it's illegal to be on the road. Jean most likely wouldn't have been as uncomfortable if Steve's car wasn't there.

Anywho, after we got done moving her stuff over to her place we needed to go to the store. Ma, Lori and I headed up there, got a few things and came home. The Lean Cuisine flatbread sandwiches are tasty. It's a shame they're so expensive. Otherwise I'd buy more of them.

Ugh, it looks like I'm going to have to dig out my aloe vera. I got a small amount of sun while I was working outside today. But annoyingly enough, only on one arm. If it leaves a tan {which I doubt it will} it'll look really funny. It's not burned badly, but you can tell that it's red. Luckily my face didn't burn. At least not noticably.

New Amsterdam is on tonight. I can't remember if this episode is the season finale or next week is. I guess I'll find out tonight.

Truck tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to it.

And I'm done blogging for tonight. At least on this name I am.

Firday night we went bowling. The first game was crappy for me, awesome for Jake. He got a 154. I've never even come close to that. But we all had fun.

Okay, the chicken story. There were these guys that were bowling two lanes over from us and they were drinking Corona and eating wings. After a game, they suddenly got up and left, leaving one untouched beer and an untouched thing of wings. For about 30 minutes Jean and Bri were eyeing the wings, joking about taking them. Well, they did actually take them. And it was funny ... until I noticed that the guys weren't done with their game. They still had another round to go. We're not sure why they would leave in the middle of a game, but it freaked Jean and Bri out enough that we sort of rushed the last few frames. It was pretty damn funny though.

Jake and I took our time leaving and I was surprisingly awake as we left the casino. I wanted to still do something, but it was Friday night so the Strip would have been too busy to drive down. Instead we were both hungry so he took me to IHOP. I haven't been there in a year. It was tasty. I drank my second glass of chocolate milk a little too quickly, but I couldn't help it. It was yummy and I was ready to go home.

We got home and he stayed the night.

Yesterday morning we wake up around 8:30am and get ready to head over to his house. His mom was having a sort of dinner party for her family members so that they could meet her boyfriend and Jake decided to invite me over as well. We had lasagna, garlic bread, salad {though I didn't have any of that} and bite size brownies for afterwards. It was all good. And his family was weird {who's isn't?}, but nice.

Around 9pm, he took me home because I needed to work at 3 this morning, but I ended up not going to bed until 11pm.

I'm pretty tired today. Understandably though. It was a long, busy day; ad days usually are. I'm off until 4am Tuesday. I don't have any plans for later except sleep. Unless Jacob has plans that I don't know about yet. I hope he does.

Work was decent today. Even though there was some shit that went down, everyone did their best to stay in a somewhat pleasant mood.

I was not working alone on the floor today so that helped keep me in an alright mood. Instead, I was working with Tammy. I had to open up a till for a few hours until the backup cashier came in. I was okay with it, but it kept pulling me away from what I was already working on. Oh well. With Tammy's help we were able to get it almost completely done before my shift was over.

I actually have a full work week ahead of me. I'll be working 5 days {instead of the recent 3} and I'm scheduled for 35 hours. Who knows if I'll get extra. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but not expecting it.

Anywho, something happened today that just absolutely made my day. It may be cheesy and lame to some, but it was awesome to me. The choppers from Transformers, the ones with the double blades, two of them flew really low over where I was driving. Luckily, I was in a parking lot so I could drive really slow without people honking at me. I had never seen those kinds of choppers prior to Transformers and I had never seen them for real since the movie. Until today. It was totally awesome.

Steve and I were talking about it on the way home from me picking him up. Apparently those choppers have been around since the '70s.

Going bowling tonight. I think I'm going to have Jake drive so that I can drink a little bit. I dunno, though.

Ugh, I'm not feeling it right now. I was pretty hyper earlier. Maybe it was all the left over energy I had from work. But right now, I just don't feel good. I'm suddenly very tired and feeling sort of sick to my stomach. I'm also done with this blog entry.
