Upgrades

For those of you who are still following me on here. I am working on upgrading and updating. I haven't been good to this blog in a while, so I am working on it while I don't have a job so all the hard stuff is over! So what I am saying is, for those of you who read this... I have not completely abandoned it. Just been busy with my other blogs, and life. Much love!

Life Again

I started a new blog, my trials and errors with DIY, and going green. What not...check it out!

Here's Your Future

Life has taken on this strange flow. I am starting to be a lot happier. I stopped eating glutten and I have to say, I feel amazing. My stomach doesn't hurt, and I am waking up easier. It's easier to go to sleep also. I've lost like 15 pounds, which is really nice. Work is less frustrating since they put me on food.

I'm on my second break of three today, working 11-9:30 (ish) and I really don't want to work this long. Though, whatever it gets me closer to my 40 for the week. I've started to walk home from work more, which has also helped me be happier. The little amount of excersize leaves me feeling quite good at the end of the day.

So, I have found the key to happiness. Eat right, excersize, and let shit go. I mean, if you dwell on the sadness it gets you down. Life is happy if you let it be, granted stuff happens that you really have no other response but sadness. Though don't let it become you. If you fall too far into it, there will be nothing else.

Dan and I have been getting along much better also, it's really nice. It feels like everything is starting to work out for the good again. Like things are finally fitting into place.

The song of the day... "Here's Your Future" by the Thermals.

Life...Again

So they put me on food today and it has gone almost perfect. I messed up on only three orders, and two of them were the other cook's fault. Well, it was nothing big, she just didn't mention until I was halfway through making the tacos that she had done half of them.

I feel happier, probably because I had morning sex this morning. It was nice, though D has his UA today and he says he's leaving town if he fails it. I really really hope he passes it. Though, if he's willing to throw us away over some legal trouble then clearly I don't mean that much to him.

N has been growing intellectually, well as much as is expected from a four-year-old. We have actual conversations, and when he is throwing a fit or being unreasonable I just tell him "Warning Time" and then it's easy to talk to him. It's been nice. I've been working so much though that I only get like three hours with him every day, not much time to fight. I haven't had to yell at him in a while.

Life is starting to gall into this weird flow, well today was the start. It was a nice day actually. The sun is out, it's chilly, but the sun is out! Hurray!

I have an inspection soon, and have not done anything to prepare. I need to just clean the house so they can come in and fix the problems, then I will pass the inspection. I know the hole in the door will be a mark against me. A big one so I have to take care of everything else...meaning I need to find a vacuum. My break is almost over though so I need to get off of here.

Fast Food Confessional Taco Style

I am so fed up with this job. There is nothing good about it

anymore. They have me running these registers from the

late nineteen-seventies, and I am like the crew bitch. The

manager, I fucking hate her. She's always singling me out,

or being rude to just me. Skipping my breaks. It's like, what

the hell did I do to her? I don't know, but clearly I pissed

her off somehow.

Here are a list of things they need to change.

The ancient registers, the whole working 6 days a week,

sometimes 11 hour shifts, the store layout is terrible. There

needs to be a gate on the front counter so that the people

can get in to take the order without having to walk through

the kitchen. Ah, yes, the kitchen. The walkways on the sides

of the steam line, are each about a foot, or two wide. Then

the fryers stick out about half a foot into the counter side

of line.

The owners have no clue how to run this store. Taco John;s

has such good quality food, it sort of sells itself. Though the

stores are always hurting for business. The locations are

crap, I'll give it that. Though we barely have 100 orders

before one in the afternoon.

Average order wait time is 5-10 minutes. That is part of

their problem, they don't work hard enough at speed for it

to matter that all the orders are generally right. Accuracy

only goes so far, speed of service is just as important. I

have worked at five fast food resturaunts, and this is by far

my worst experience ever. I genuinely hate coming to

work, I cry when I leave, sometimes in the middle of my

shift.

So needless to say I am looking for a new job. Only

problem, Ijust committed to paying my new babysitter $300

a month. I don't know if I'll be able to do that with a new

job.

Life is Good

I am updating this on my brand new computer, well netbook. Anyhow, life it good, and I have lots of new stuff to make stuff with. Glow-in-the-dark melty beads, clear pony beads, and a little container of plastic beads. There are like animals and stuff in it. I am so excited to do something with it. :)

Life is good again here back at the ranch... well third floor apartment building.

I need to go back to watching gossip girl.

So today I started writing...

and this is what I came up with. (It's a remake of an older one I was working on.)

A soft whisper, a long slow kiss was all I needed to be sucked in. I wasn't searching for love, I was looking for a good time. She really had no idea it wouldn't be forever, hadn't a clue that she was just a game to me. A game that once started, would most certainly never end.

Jillian was beautiful in the very best way. She had long red hair, sharp green eyes. A small number of freckles painted across her nose that made her nearly irresistible. The most attractive thing was she had no idea that she was so alluring.

For a long time I had watched her with absolute admiration. She was my Helen of Troy, my lost Lenore, and my insightful Ophelia. The only problem being, she indication that I felt that way. Not even staying up all night talking to her about the problems she was having with her other friends, or hiking to the top of the mountain to lay in the grass and watch the stars.

So basically the plot is about two girls that meet right out of college working at a coffee shop, and they fall in love. One of them is openly bi-sexual where as the other is unaware of her feelings about girls. Perhaps it's because she just met the right one. Either way...they fall in love. Anyhow, more to come. I am not sure where this is going but I had to scrap the other one because it was just really bad. ha!

Valentine's Day

Dan and I decided to do Valentine's day, on the fifteenth instead of the fourteenth this year. Mostly due to money. Anyhow, I am very excited. I bought pretty candles and that makes me happy in itself.

Nate made my friends, and his friends Valentines, I let him decide who got one, and who got what this year instead of doing it all by myself like last year. He also made me the most adorable little owl thing. Photos will definitely come in a little bit.

Last night we went to retrieve the Wanderer from a town that GoogleMaps said was 2 hours and 1 minute away. It turned into an eight hour adventure. We had to stop in the town that Geekie is from. Which was pretty cool, I got to see where she grew up. It was quite humorous seeing how excited she got. She's generally pretty closed with her little girl emotions. We make jokes about how she is the butch in our domestic partnership. (Ha!) That's our joke. We're not actually together or anything like that. Nor do either of us possess the emotions involved in such a thing. It's just funny to joke about.

I started working on a book again. It's a pretty good story so far. I think so. I have been meeting lesbians lately. Hanging out with Rainbow a little bit lately. Mostly when we go to Walmart and she is working. I miss her in a way I haven't really noticed until the last time I saw her.

Anyhow, Geekie, the Wanderer, and I are about to do some crafts.

"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous...to be"...

My boyfriend said this to me today. It made me laugh, seeing as I live in low-income housing. We're so tight on money it's January and he has to ride his bike to work because we can't put gas in the car. That and the fact that I can't seem to get a callback on a job to save my life. So, I just looked at him and said, "We live in the projects."

The neighbors in the apartment behind me have their music up so loud, and it's been that way for nearly an hour, it's so ridiculously loud, I can feel it in the floor and my chair. I've been facebook complaining all day. Though, they complained a week ago that it smelled like cigarettes in their bathroom. So, they complained about us...and now they are playing their music at full blast? I do not like this.

Last night I went to Buffalo Wild Wings for the first time ever, it was very good. I also played on the Buzztime Trivia. That was a pretty cool aspect about the place.

I cut my finger last night on a cheese grater. Like half the skin on my thumb have been sliced off. It's rather gross, I will hold back the details. Though, it's setting my typing all off balance and it's getting annoying.

My son has been obsessed with Sonic the hedgehog for a little bit now. His obsessions change often, though today he is seriously using the top of the tv for an arm rest and watching the television from 3 inches away... maybe more like a whole foot. Though, it's so frustrating. I always have to be like, move back a bit. Though he moves back and then goes right back to where he started. It is really driving me crazy today.

Happy New Year?

I'm starting this entry three hours and nine minutes into the new year. Yesterday was epic, and tonight has been pretty epic. Taking an intermission in the nude Geekie photo shoot. She's all like "I feel awkward." So I'm like, "Who hasn't felt awkward being naked and covered in dice on their friend's couch?"

Anyway, so much has happened since the last time I updated. More to come, have to finish this beer and get back to the shoot.

Okay another slight intermission, Hornsby's Hard Cider Crisp Apple flavor is freaking delicious. That and pizza have fueled the night.

We started out going to Pizza Hut for the salad bar, coming home to watch Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, then going back out to get Little Caesars, and Blackjack Pizza.

Okay, so I finially get back to this. I will update with some photos from Geekie's facebook.
