my sister volunteered to cut my hair last night. i agreed, because i like things done quick and cheap. but what i should have seen coming was a lucy and ethel moment. my sister seemed to cut half of my hair and then rip the other half out somehow. she kept pulling on it and it hurt so bad. "you have a sensitive head!" she told me, but i've had my hair cut a lot dudes and it's never hurt like this. i was screaming and crying and telling her i was going to punch her in the face. it reminded me of having my hair brushed by my mom before school in the mornings as a kid. i would cry because having my nap brushed hurt, and she would hit me on the head with the brush and tell me to be quiet. |

my sister cut my hair for me and i feel pretty good. sometimes a haircut makes you feel like a new person. she also helped me move some stuff out. joe knows i'm moving out and he is okay with it. i just hope it's soon. i am having trouble finding a good rental house. tomorrow i'm going to scour the town again though, there's got to be something available. |

this morning on the way to work i had a flat. fuck. so i basically had no one to call except my boyfriend's dad, who i mainly try to avoid since he is a parent, and he hooked me up with someone to fix my flat. shag bradford came. shag is this crazy old dude who people categorize as "special". he rides around in an old white ford and asks you if you need any trees cut or junk hauled off your property.
well, shag had no idea who i was but there he was on a large piece of cardboard he brought with him fixing my tire. and then this old woman comes out (i should mention this whole time i've been parked in front of this spanish style mansion in money, ms) and starts asking me questions because i've been parked in her driveway for like two fucking hours. she had warts all over her neck and chest. ugh, ever heard of a turtleneck, lady? anywho she kept asking me who my parents were, what they did, exactly what street i lived on, and she kept insisting she knew some of my family. i lied to her about where i lived though. i mean who cares.
at work, because i was late, i feel like i fucked the day up for my co-worker and i. we had so many students to test today, and we could have gotten to them all had we had that extra hour i took up. so i was grumpy about that, and the place we worked at today was HELL ON EARTH. i just don't understand how some people get jobs. more importantly, better jobs than me! what!?! i had to be nice to so many people today who didn't deserve it. that really burns my britches. but if you're mean, it's like you're letting them win, so i always just pretend like their laziness and lack of intelligence doesn't bother me at all. not. at. all.
my tire went flat again this afternoon, and i had this really scary trashy mechanic patch it so i could drive somewhere better and buy a new tire. the mechanic told me i could wait inside or outside while he fixed my tire, and at first i stood outside but then i moved inside and i heard him say to his partner/friend "well why the fuck did she stand outside in the first place then?" wtf! so yeah, i decided i definitely wouldn't buy a tire from that dude.
but at wal-mart, where i purchased my new tire, they greeted me with open arms, completely understanding of my hard day and ready to sell me candles and snickers and 2 for $11 dvds. i freshened up in the restroom and checked out wii games while i waited.
once i got into my car with the new tire i collapsed and just sat there for ten minutes. it was the first break i'd had all day. i try to make my days good days but this one was just shitty. and i knew i was not about to go home to any kind of support whatsoever. also, my cat is still at the vet and because i was unable to call and check on her today they are closed and i can't get her. so i'm still worried about her, and i hope she safely pooped out whatever it is she swallowed.
also on that note, my mom told my dad about skitty and my dad was like "why is your cat having surgery?" when i explained the situation he gave me the reaction that i think anyone could foresee here. nothing is of value to my dad except work, i swear. he thinks the surgery will cost a lot of money, but i don't think it will and i don't give a fuck cause i'd pay it anyway. my cats are like my children. in fact, junior could tell senior was missing from the get-go. as soon as i walked in the door she was up in my face practically demanding to see skitty senior right then. (that sounds totally weird)
i'm home now chillin' out, reading about rosemary kennedy's failed lobotomy on wikipedia and thinking about my duties for tomorrow. i'm glad i didn't have a blowout, glad i'm still alive.
this weekend is a free preview for hbo and cinemax, so i'm pretty excited about that. ha. |

i could care less about new kids doing the whole reunion thing. i don't think this is the right time for them to do this, and their album is shitty. who the fuck wants to work with ne-yo? ha!
i have to leave for work at 7. i really despise being on the road so early. it's just incredibly foggy and i can't see the whole time. it's dangerous. what if the government issued state employees a pass so they wouldn't be in trouble if they couldn't get to work on time because of foggy conditions? not that i work for the state anyway.
a couple of years ago i had to drive to school on the foggiest day ever, and i came across a three car pile up. thank goodness i was going 25 or it would have been 4. that really scared me.
oh and listen to this - at one school i work at i heard a third grade substitute got in trouble for telling all the kids santa isn't real and their parents are lying to them. ha! my mind drifts to the jewish kid in the back of the room, who just rolls his eyes at us and sighs.
highlight of today: i get to meet with my accountant and i'm expecting an email on a rental house in cleveland i inquired about... |

i took skitty to the vet this morning, and to make a long story short she has something lodged in her intestines. he's keeping her overnight and hopefully it will pass with aid, and if not then they have to do surgery. i hope it doesn't come to that. i'm such a wreck. i feel like it was my fault she swallowed something, i should pick up more. ugh. i hate life right now.
ETA: i have a lot of faith in my vet, dr. denman. he's like an american james herriott. you know i used to want to be him so fucking bad. |

right now i'm freaking out because i am going to take my cat skitty senior to the vet tomorrow. i just googled cat depression and anxiety and realized she has every one of the symptoms... why didn't i put this together before now? why didn't i take her anxiety more seriously? i just thought that was how she was going to be... but she's been throwing up and she keeps losing weight, a lot of it. she's just different now than she used to be. i'm scared she is going to die, and i have made things worse because i keep trying to pet her and stuff instead of just leaving her alone. fuck! i'm scared. joe says the vet won't even do anything. what if he's right? i mean what is there to do? will he be able to give her kitty xanax right then or do i have to wait until the pharmacy opens on wednesday? fuck! |

i've never seen widespread panic. they are playing in memphis in october, and i'm thinking of buying tickets simply because i want to have the "panic experience". just once in my life. that will probably be enough.
when my cats walk on the floor at night it sounds like they have tiny high heels on. click clack click clack. |

motherfucker. i've had a migraine every day this week. i even got sent home from work on tuesday because i couldn't stop barfing in the bathroom. so of course today is an important day at work for me, and i wake up with one. thanks, life!
actually what i'm doing today isn't so important, it's that i have to meet a lot of higher ups. one in particular, is a man i will be working closely with, and he hates me due to an incident last year in which i accidently told his teachers they were losing their jobs. so yeah, i just want to make a good impression on him and some other people i'll be working with.
joe got me a wii for our one year anniversary. yay! i know very little about video games. the only system i had growing up was a regular nes, and my parents bought me a gameboy when i was in 8th grade - about the time the pocket gameboy/gameboy color came out. so i'm very behind on all things video game.
oh, and i never told you all what happened with me and joe. i am not leaving him, i am not moving out. i would say that the fight we had that day was epic, it changed my mind on a lot of things. joe is the only person i have - he is the only person i can trust and the only person who cares about me. why would i let that go? i don't think i could ever find someone like him again. we are both working on getting along better day to day, and so far it's working. the fight made me realize just how special our relationship is, and i can't believe it almost ended.
the only downside to that is that it didn't just have a big impact on me, but it also impacted joe. in a different way. i'm afraid joe saw a totally scary side of me, and he thinks i don't give a fuck about him since i was just willing to leave him over something so trivial (the cats needing to go to the vet). of course that was the straw that broke the camel's back, but i think joe is just seeing "crazy bitch" flashing before his eyes. so yeah, now i'm living in fear that he will dump me. this fear is also based on my past relationship - this is what happened. we had a fight and it was a turning point for both of us: i realized how much i loved/needed him, and he realized he could do better than me. |

i can't get that "i kissed a girl and i liked it" song out of my head. i definitely do not like the song.
last night i had drinks with friends and then we watched intervention together. it was about chad, who smokes crack, and i made the suggestion that chad should just buy a coca plant instead of having to buy crack all the time. coca plants should be more accessible. so should those cactuses you get peyote from.
anyway i had so much fun at dinner/drinks, because i never really do anything, and it's so awesome to be with people who share the same interests, cares, and worries that you do. i haven't laughed that hard in such a long time. fuck! it was fun. i need more friends. |

my boyfriend calls the scooper thing we use for the litter box a "dookey rake".
my elbows need lotion.
i canceled my STARZ! package and went with Showtime. Starz fucking sucks. They have so many channels but there's never anything good on. Always the same crap over and over. And a whole channel dedicated to westerns? You've got to be kidding me. |

my friend just joined the PTA at her son's school. they have incredibly limited resources and they are trying to think of fun fundraisers, since selling magazines, gift wraps, and shitty candy is getting them nowhere. anyone have any unique suggestions?
the only thing i could come up with was something called "kiss the pig". students drop money in a teacher's box if they want to see them kiss a pig. at the end of the month the money is counted, and whichever teacher has the most money has to kiss a pig. it went over really well at our school.
anywho, suggestions are appreciated! i really want to help my friend and this school. |

my sister plucked my eyebrows on saturday night and now they are all scabby and bruised. this was the first time i've ever had my eyebrows plucked. and honestly they look the same to me. no one has noticed any difference. so all that pain was for nothing. it was so horrible, ugh, i'm pissed. |

i'm a wreck.
today i am going to teach a bunch of teachers how to use palm pilots. i'm scared. i know i'll do a good job, i'm just afraid of facing any complications. most of the teachers are old and i'm afraid they will have a hard time understanding what to do and reading the tiny words on the tiny screen.
i just really want to make a good impression on all the teachers, look professional, and make the people i work for look good. so i hope i do all that. |

i wake up yesterday morning to a bunch of news about morgan freeman having a car wreck. turns out he flipped RIGHT BY MY HOUSE. right by it, dudes. when you think of morgan freeman flipping his car you think of ME. my boyfriend's mother and her friend somehow wound up in possession of the phone the chick had. i don't even know how this happened, considering his mother is a secretary at a vo-tech here. but yea, she totally went through the bitch's phone.
in other news i'm making this photo thing - i just realized one of my friends looks like a white DJ Paul (from three six mafia). |

i wish my sister didn't have to work. she has a job that stresses her out. i feel bad for her because i know what it's like to work that kind of job, but i just have to stress to her that as soon as she gets out of school she can find a better one. i would offer to help her out financially if she didn't go buy things like fifty dollar purses. of course i do the same....in fact the purse is supposed to be here today. it came in the mail. so i'm opening the window blinds every five seconds to see if it's here.
i've been off work for a week and i haven't done shit. i'm so bored. my sister is really the only person i see, and she went to bloomington for a few days. i wanted to go really bad. i'm so fucking jealous! she says she is bringing me back something from the Harry and the Potters show though, so i'm sure that will be good.
yeah so i'm off work today and i have nothing to do. hmm. |

today i spent a shameful amount on four bottles of GOOD italian wine - vernaccia di san gimigniano.
i was shopping in memphis today and my car decided to break down on the interstate when it was like 100 something degrees outside. it fucking sucked. but i did get going again and now here i am at home, telling this story to you. my parents said i should start shopping around for a new car. so i guess i will. although i do not like having to spend my 401k money on a car now. fuck. i don't want the stress of choosing a car, making car payments, and the thought of being a lay down to a car dealer really pisses me off.
but it's okay. i thought of something to cheer me up. my dad can't say sushi. he calls it "susi". it's so funny! on family vacation this year he was like "well, did you enjoy your susi?" HA. |

i got called a city slicker today when i went to the post office i never ever use right by my house. maybe it's because i'm wearing short shorts and a see through candyland shirt. whatever.
i'm waiting on joe to get home from work so he can open this bottle of wine for me. it's friday, i'm off work and i have nothing to do....looks like i'm about to get trashed, folks.
the $50 purse i got was one of the kavu purses. not that ugly plain one every girl has, a different one which i will not reveal because i don't want anyone copying me. this is my purse, all mine! actually my sister has it too, and i was really fucking jealous. that's why i'm getting it. i just can't believe i paid that much money for it...i have never paid that much for a purse in my fucking life. i think $30 is the most i have ever paid. |
