Dec. 25th, 2006 @ 10:50 pm X-mas time again
Current Location: home
Current Mood: crappy
Current Music: Radio
So, its christmas time again and for the last few years I have been posting in here about the happenings of my X-mas....a few years ago I was literally left stranded on the side of the road by by mother and her new husband....and so the trials and tibulations of my family continues.

I am a middle child....and that fact gets driven home to me often. I hate sounding like im ungratful or a spoiled brat...and my sister assures me that I am not. I will just cut straight to it....

To my way of thinking if you have kids, you work hard to treat them fair and equal....and I know it shouldnt be all about how much you get or how much someone spends on you...but when it is blatant that your parent spends more on not one and not two...but all three of your siblings...its a little hard not to feel a bit hurt.

Clay and Cathy got a very nice fire pit. Those things are not cheap...about 150 to 200 bucks. Jeanne got a sewing machine, 100 bucks and a sewing kit that was another 20 bucks. My little brother Matt got a 100 dollar grill...granted...she could have got a better one from a better store for another 20 bucks...but that is my mother for you...cheap cheap cheap....Dollar General is her favorite store I think. And they all got a few other things....

So what did I get? Let me tell you. I got $30 in gas cards, 2 novels and a movie. I will use the gas cards, they will be gone in 2 weeks. The movie was on my list, the books are from my favorite author, but the one was the second book from a trilogy she just put out...so i still need the first and thrid books in the series. Dont get me wrong...I liked the books and the movies. But when it's so obvious that the gifts were so unbalanced price wise...i cant help but feel a bit shafted. Its not about the price tag....but when she leans over to me and goes...."well sorry...I guess you got a little short changed"....What am I supposed to say to that...or how else am I supposed to feel?

Wow...didnt realize it had been so long since i last wrote in here.

Well lets see...the house is still fabulous! Jeanne and I have joined the gym in durant and are going 3 times a week there and swimming the other 2 weekdays. We take the weekend off to relax. We jsut started this new diet thing, trying it out...the first 11 days is a detox of the body of fats and things. We are eating lots of veggies and things...a lot of new things that we havent tried before. It has a very strict schedule of what to eat and when and then drinking water and cranwater. It's hard to do...but worth it. She has already lost 9 pounds in a the week we have been doing it. She has access to a scale at work I dont... so dont know if I have. Im going to beleive i have...I cant imagine I havnt after all this work. The gym is having a body challenge starting on the 3rd of April and this is preping us to do that too. Wish us luck!

My puppy Red chewed through his stalk out leash on Monday night and had been missing since!! I went out looking for him the night, walking around and calling for him...then went out driving around but to no avail...and Mousse, his brother, was flipping out! They had never been seperated before....But finally...after calling everyone and hanging posters....I found him in the wooded area across the feild down the road! He is skinny, but overall unharmed....except for tha ass chewing Mousse gave him the whole walk home!

But in other news...Cathy was induced today around 7 this morning...but..*looks at clock* it's nearly 7 tonight....and NO BABY yet!!

Poor girl...i kept telling clay to poke her belly button in, but he insists that it isnt an eject button!

Still waiting for news though!

But the word through the grape vine....Pete is telling his little card playing crones that her Kicked me and jeanne out...cause he was sick of our shit! BAH!! thats soooo back-ass-ward....

I would have moved out without out telling them in a heart beat, but mom found out.....so...oh well.

But...I was told I should invite her to the house...and I did...but she hasnt come yet...her loss...but after the way she has been to me lately...I could care less if she comes. She cant bother to call me to find out something that I would know or would know the answer to....no she calls jeanne AT WORK to have her ask me shit.... Good Lord....*ROLLS HER EYES*

Jeanne and I got Hannah for the weekend too! Picked her up Saturday AM and took her back sunday AM....it was a lot of fun...she is such a good baby!!

Happy Birthday JAC!!!!

Im wishing Jac a happy happy birthday from my new house, on my new computer, using my new cable internet!!!

WHOO HOOO!!

Im mostly moved in...just a few things left at mom's house...a few things i just didnt have room to move at the moment and a few things she has hidden.... X_X GRRRR.....

I hadnt even been here 24 hours and she already called me up and accused me of taking something....and something stupid.....dog flea shampoo....she leaves me a NASTY message on the phone and tells me that the shampoo was under the counter and I had better bring it back....WELL...I didnt have it and called her back(I was a bit pissed to say the least....) but I got her message machine, so I left her an equally nasty message telling her I DIDNT have her shampoo, the only one I had was MINE and I didnt know what SHE had done with HER shampoo, so she will just have to keep looking for what SHE did with it.

Talk about killing the joy of finally moving out....

She has been super, sickingly sweet to Jeanne, but has been a royal bitch to me....hmmmm, imagine now why I wanted to move out with out telling her first.... *.*

SO..... Im offically moved, and my computer is up and running and Im surrounded by several boxes! But it's great to be able to pull things out of boxes that I have gotten as presents or something and had no where to put them for YEARS!!!

Yeah...thats great!!

Ok so im trying my best to save my money.... Limiting the expenses and such....only an occational dinner and movie with friends...once a month isnt gonna break me.

BUT...it never seems to fail, once I start to try to save up...something happens to my car. This time it was an injector that shorted out...so after 2 days in the shop and borrowing Jeanne's car and damn near 300 bucks...It's running properly again...but I still need to get a new tire. I have had to replace all of them now since I got the car 7 months ago. X_X good greif...

So now im probably gonna take Jac's suggestion and sell some crap on ebay...i did that before and made some money. And Im trying to move so I have crap to spare.... HEHEHE

Well yesterday was my birthday! Im a whole 26 years old now...Blah.

And what fun I had on my birthday....first I woke up with a sinus headache from the sinus infection I have, and I had to go to work, and I felt like shit.

So I didnt want to work long....and I did anyhow. But then misty and chris took me out for lunch at IHOP! MMM tasty! We got to have funnel cakes! Then we went to Petsmart and I bought new batteries and toys for my puppies. We had then planned to go to the Disney store and then Mini golf.....But on the way there, someone rearended us! And not only us...the car behind us was hit by some ass that just drove away. Anyhow, when we were hit, we got shoved forward into the car infront of us. Great, right? No one was hurt and none of the cars were damaged....long store short, the drivers exchanged names and info and we left. I hit my head on the roof of the car and had a headache and my neck hurt so I wasnt up for mini gulf so we just went home.

I felt better after awhile tho, and Jeanne grilled chicken on the grill. MMM tastey. I had only requesteed that we grill for my birthday and that we have ice cream, cause i didnt want a freaking cake. Well we did the family thing on Sunday and we grilled...but that was the extent of things. Mom said she would make a pie, but that didnt happen...still hasnt. =( No surprise really, mom saying she will do something for me and then totally blowing it off....I'm used to it by now, sad isnt it?

Any how....Jeanne grilled for just us, cause well mom and pete left and went out for dinner X_X and clay and cathy are still trying to fix up their house to move into this weekend. I told jeanne I was gonna go get my self birthday ice cream and she was like.... I will take you! So koutos to Jeanne for getting me birthday ice cream!!

And when i came home, cathy and mom and pete were finally home. What did I get you ask? Well Jeanne got me a card and a new triology book by nora roberts, mom got me a card and a book...it however was wrapped in tin foil...i shit you not.....and pete and clay and cathy gave me cards too.

Eventfull.... ~.^

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).

Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

Robot
You are 71% Rational, 0% Extroverted, 28% Brutal, and 0% Arrogant.
You are the Robot! You are characterized by your rationality. In fact, this is really ALL you are characterized by. Like a cold, heartless machine, you are so logical and unemotional that you scarcely seem human. For instance, you are very humble and don't bother thinking of your own interests, you are very gentle and lack emotion, and you are also very introverted and introspective. You may have noticed that these traits are just as applicable to your laptop as they are to a human being. In short, your personality defect is that you don't really HAVE a personality. You are one of those annoying, super-logical people that never gets upset or flustered. Unless, of course, you short circuit.


To put it less negatively:

1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.

2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.


Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Class Clown.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hand-Raiser, the Emo Kid, and the Haughty Intellectual.

*

*

If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.

The other personality types:

The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.





My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 58% on Rationality

You scored higher than 0% on Extroversion

I got a raise!! WHOO HOOO!!! That was great, all i had to do was ask and Jeff was like Sure! no problem! Of course taht was before the Bitch Bride from hell called in.... Update on that...She still had $90 worth of our equipment, but apparently, she was not happy with anything at her wedding...inside source tells us that she is pissed off about the pictures and not happy with the photographer. Fuck her anyway...

Anyway on a light note.....It's graduation season and I have been totally buried in cake and frosting for almost the whole moth of May so far, and around here, the grad parties go until the first week of June. After taht I have atleast 2 weddings booked every saturday until mid July.....well atleast I dont have to worry about not getting very many hours! XD

Plus Im going to start making pies for the three stores. And the last 2 weeks i have been helping with the baking, because one of the regular ladies is working in the fields with her husband!

Today...after literally frosting and decorating over 50 caked this week...I go home and not even 2 hours later, Jeff is calling me up because someone forgot to give me a cake order for a catering job. Well he needed it within the hour! Its a good thing i live fairly close! He took the cake out of the freezer and I had it frosted, decorated, and boxed ready to go in 35 minutes!! WHOO ME!! *flexes her stellar frosting muscles!!*

Friday was crappy! Not only was I buried up to my neck in orders, but this bitch of a bride calls me and tells me that the cake I did for her nearly 2 weeks ago was absolutly horrible and I ruined her reception. And since I didnt take her boxes, they had to throw out most of the cake because whoever she had taking care of the cake just put them in a refrigerater with out covering them......Well that is not my problem that she had dumbasses helping her out. She is fishing for a refund. She wanted these frosting flowers on her cake, but they would have looked horrible on there so I didnt put them on there. She said it looked bare and just horrid. When I told her I had decided not to use them she cops an attitude and says "Well what gives you the right to decide something like that?" I thought to myself...look lady you hired me to make a pretty cake and if it wasnt going to be pretty I wasnt going to do it. Of course I didnt say that to her, she wasnt giving me a chance to say anything anyhow. She just kept telling me that it looked horrible and I finally chimed in... "No, I'm sorry it didnt look horrible." At that point she sneers, "well Im not going to sit here and argue with you...Im going to call your manager."

I was upset that she didnt like it, and upset that I let her get me upset and crying at work.....I hate that. I take it too personal when someone doesnt like what I creat for them... =/ So I had to calm down and talk to Jeff(the owner of the store) And tell him to expect a nasty phone call...and of course I took too long and by the time I talked to him, she had already called back. HEHEH Fortunatly, he told her he would call her back when he had time. He told me he could tell she was being unreasonable and nothing we did was going to make her happy. He is more then happy with my work so he isnt listen to this lady....besides he can tell there is just nothing that will make her happy. And he tells me that it happens and not to let it get to me anymore then it already has....basically blowing her off. She might get a partial refund but the bitch isnt getting it all back!

Off to the ariport in a little while to pick up Rad and Jac. They should probably be getting close to flying back onto land about now coming from Hawaii.

Cathy was in a car wreck on Thursday. Some guy T-boned her on the passenger side and sent her spinning around to crash rear end into a semi. Totaled her car, but she is OK and so is baby rufus. She had a some cuts on her face and a seatbelt rash on her shoulder. She is sore but overall ok. HOWEVER! Last night...4 days later, Clay dug out a huge chunk of glass out of one of the cuts on her face. It had been all swollen and the doctor at the ER said it was cleaned out. Guess not! It looks a lot better now.

thats it for now!!

Sometimes we all feel alone and unworthy and sad. ALL of us do at one point or another. It is then that we need to know that we are loved and supported. I think that this is something that would be a good thing to bookmark so that you do remember, in those tired and dark hours, that you do have friends, you do have a support network, and that you are worthy of that love.

I Believe in You. All of you.

This is about believing in someone. If you, who read this right now, believe that I have got what it takes to not only survive, but to thrive and succeed at what I set out to do, leave a comment here saying that you believe in me. Then, put this into your journal, and see just how deep your support structure really goes. You may be very surprised at who's out there rooting for you.

Post this everywhere, and answer it when you see it posted.

Well on Friday april 8th my older brother Clay got married to Cathy. They were planning a wedding for July, but she found out she is pregnant and wanted to have the wedding before she couldnt fit into the dress any longer. The Day was beautiful! Couldnt have asked for anything better. They were married outside at a local park near the pond. It was very nice...and pretty short. Even better. We all went out to dinner afterwards. It was very nice.

On the 9th Rod and Jac eft for hawaii. They needed to be at the airport in Chicago so Misty and I rode with them so we could bring their car home. SO we leave at 2AM and drive 3 hours. Traffic was good, it wasnt hard to find. The trip home was ok, had to stop for gas twice! LOL and Illinois has a huge gas tax! Got home just about 9Am and chatted with ppl in my house before going to work at 10......all on about 1 1/2 hours of sleep! Worked til 12:30 then came home only to leave again by 1 to go to Burlington for Clay and Cathy's reception. Needless to say...I slept on the ride down...and back! The party was good, had fun, was draggin ass and left by 6ish. Got home around 7:30ish with Jeanne and Kyle. I went to bed by 9 and slept like a rock. BUT!! i have to be up and in Wilton for a cake seminar by 8:30 the next morning. It lasted until 4. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot of new things and new tricks!! Cant wait to try some of them out.
