blargh

Monday I woke up with the worst cricked neck of my life. I had to drop off my car at ponders to get the dent I caused in it out. (the dent was caused by my lack paying attention to my left side, and my brothers BMW). After my bro and I dropped off my car we headed to my parents house, where I had to help babysit my father. He had his tontsol out and was looking quite dopped up. There's a 6% chance it might be cancerous, but I'm not too worried, the DR. said it mostly looks like an extremly infected yucky thing. I hung around the house all day watching movies. The movie are you there yet, is filmed in PDX, parts of WA and Vancouver. I dont know why but I get super excited when I see a film that takes place in the NW. Though I got upset, because they were driving up the I 5 corridor, to BC. But it looks more like the MTS. then I 5. Oh well. Then I spent the rest of my evening sipping on a glass of wine, and trying to make plans for a short road trip, work schedule and my car premitting. I had to sleep on the couch which fucking sux, hence my neck is still sore and go to the managers meeting early. I tried to briefly talk to my store manager about getting some days off in a row, and she quickly shut me down, well, not till after peak week (which is next week) or actually after inventory (which is sept 20-23) or (sept 27-29). We dont know when it is yet. So Eric was like dude I owe you a switch shift, I'll just take your tue and you can take my friday sometime. which I'll probably do because thats too long to wait. I havent gone anywhere all summer, and I really want to do this. Party on Wayne, Party on Garth!

New Apartment in FIFE!

My apartment is so cute! It's brand new, no ones lived there but me and Jozie. She's gone in Texas for a week. She left thur, though I havent seen her since mon. the night I moved in. We work weird schedules where I hardly see her. I still am in the process of moving my shit in, I have no food and we have no table. Moving went well though because Sunday Tom Mccabe grabed the smith's truck and helped me move a ton of crap. Then Monday Chuck and his bro David moved my bed with Dave's truck. I've been sleeping there ever since. Its great its 15 min from work, and about 15 min from my friends in N Tacoma. Its in the middle of farm land, its practically Puyallup. I'm still in search of a grocery store that doesnt close up at 11 pm. Megs and her friend Karen came over thur night, and we went to a rad restaurant called from the Bauyou. Its a crazy little Cajun place. The food was awesome but way spicey, and it was decorated crazy! Last night Chuck came over, we drank some beers and hung out, then watched dodge ball. The only annoying part about living there, is some guy plays music with a loud thumping bass from 7am on. I just want to sleep! Oh and the pool isint open yet, I cant wait!

Proof reading would be good

I read through some of my past posts and realized how aweful the sentences are put together. From now on I will proof read my blogs before I post them. I did go to college and did spend a lot of time doing this. Maybe thats why I haven't proof read my blogs before, because I'm just plain sick of it.

Friday night

Friday I went out with Tommy, and Chucky, we went to Rock Pasta and Tom had his first bucket ever! We then walked down to the swiss where we ran into Ross and Johnny pot pie. Bradon from work and his friends show up, and I proceed to get crunked because I wasnt driving. I dance hang out and talk to all the boys, feeling weird because now a days I mostly go out with girls. I used to go out with only guys all the time, its a totally different experience. Tom drives my car back to the Smiths afterwards and I get to sober up in the hot tub. We hung out till about 3 am. I went home and past out! Worked then slept... Got up today worked, and now I'm hopefully grabbing tommys help to move into the appartment!

BBQ and my official hippy promotion

Last night was so much fun! Tommy came and met me at the old hollister and we went to Mira and keslys bbq. Tom didnt know anyone but he hung out and met some of my friends. Dan showed up for a bit too. Tom cooked us some burgers which he forgot about and burnt them, they were really well done. No ecoli there. I drank beer and was merry. Unfortunately I had to be up at 550 am. So Tom and I left around 930, and I was asleep by 10.

Today started off weird, the fire alarm at the mall went off for an hour and the computer froze. So my update was way behind. Dave got there at 10 am. He gave me my promotion officially and thinks im doing a pretty good job, which is really reassuring. He did call me a hippy, a few 6 times, I just laughed. He was in a really good mood today. Only thing that bugged me was when he asked what my dad did I told him he was VP of Husky terminals by the port he told me my dads job was boring and he was glad he was doing his job of selling clothes to 17 yrold girls. He's a little obssessed with Hollister. Well atleast he's happy and I'm happy too with my promotion. Tonight fun times at E9 with Tommy!

Tommy Mcabe's home!

Today was a fantastic day off! I had to go in for the managers meeting which sucked because I had to get up early... When I got off I came home and called Tommy because he told me he would be here this week. He was working on the Smiths deck and suggested we hang out all week. So I went over there to pick him up and talked to Donna for a bit. After wards we went to BJ's old Starbucks and grabbed some coffee like old times. After that we went back to the SMiths and grabbed their Kiayacks. We went around the Harbor, it was such a beautiful day. The yacks were jerry rigged to the smiths truck, it looked hilarious. Photo coming soon! It was nice to go around the Harbor and catch up. Then we met Donna and Rodger at the Tides for some dinner after dropping off the Yacks. Sat and caught up with everyone. Sometimes it is really nice bein in the Harbor. Its so nice, quiet, and tranquil. Definately a relaxing day. I havent seen Tom in exactly a year. He loves being home! We will have many adventures all week! I love old friends and when they come home...

People Walking

Today I decided to take my doggy out for a nice walk around the Harbor. I had an early shift so I was off by 4, and it was a really nice day. So I grabbed my puppies leash since him and I were both in desperate need of some exercise. So we take off around the Harbor about 8 pm and the sun is just starting to set. Its still 80 out so I'm wearing a skirt and a tank top. I thought I would be walking my dog, it was more like my dog was walking me, he was so excited to be there. So I kept up the pace, and by half way through he was tuckered out but I was still going strong. I got to the point where the mountain is in the middle of the mouth of the harbor, and the snow was all red with sunset and just sat and looks at it, and the sailboats and was completey happy. Until I got a wiff of the sewedge treatment plant! WOOOWEEEE that was great. So we quickly about faced and started the walk back. My dog had the biggest pee ever too! It splattered all overt he concrete, I must say I was embarrised and proud at the same time. I kept trying to pull him but he's a big doggy. All and all a relaxing night... Much needed!
