Well could have updated last night, but I just really didn't feel like doing it. I got up kinda early and headed over to work for 10. I did the same thing I did for the rug room last week but instead for the step around the registers. It was very interesting, seeing all that stuff. Hey. I like it. Psh. lol. Then I left after 4 and went to Hallmark to get a few cards. Supposedly they had this thing where you buy 3 and get a free Blockbuster rental, which would be perfect, but ah liars. lol. So I was going to get some food because I was hungry, but Grant was closer in route then I thought. So I just went home briefly to change. I did just that and then went to him. I went in but I can't recall what went down. Oh, right. We watched, maybe, some old tv shows he had with him, a seasons worth. Then we went to Blockbuster and got ... Lion King! lol. Why not?? So I think we did that and maybe got dinner? Oh right. Yes! Drove to Cafe American, ordered and then did the movie and then went back and picked it up. Ate and then watched the movie. Then I'm not sure. Maybe back to the tv show. I left before 12. Today I slept in for a nice while. Grant and I planned on going swimming next door today, but mom was like ahhh he can't come over for these various reasons and then this too. So we got rid of that idea. Instead I picked some food up for my lunch because I wasn't hungry. And I ate on the way and then couldn't get in the gate. So he walked up but of course nearly there and it opens lol. So I just drive him back. Then we watched tv and the Lion King again, along with some behind the scenes stuff. Just a day at home type of day. We were quite hungry for dinner so he got what he wanted and I got La Madelines. Ate back at his place and watched more. Then I had to go and here I am. 11:34PM
July 29, 2006
Woke up quite early. Got to work. Semi busy day. Bought some hangers. Then I made a stop at Cane's for chicken and bread lol. I guess most won't get that. Anyway, I then came home. Ate. Did some Sudoku because dad is trying to fix his comp but also doing something with mine, along with his. I'm not sure. But I did get very tired and took a nap. Then I woke up. Had a Snickers. It was quite good. Quite. Then I put that Mardi Gras picture of myself in an 8x10. I like et. Grant's coming back tomorrow! Let the fun begin. 10:09PM
July 28, 2006
Slept in today. Dads comp died so as he was doing things on mine I cleaned out my bathroom a little. And painted my toe nails lol. Got some ices at Wal-Mart for my mom and then picked up dinner at Jambalaya Shoppe. Then I ate and later got in the shower. Then dropped dad off at CompUSA and I went to Linens N Things to get another day of working. Then bought two frames. Then picked up dad and then we got some sundae's at McDonalds. mmmm. Then I watched a taped Big Brother and did random things. Ah hah, I've gotten the whole family now hooked on Sudoku. Yay. lol. 9:07PM
July 27, 2006
Want to make this as quick as possible because my head is killing me and I want to go to sleep. So. Woke up at some time. Oh, 9:30. Eventually got in the shower, got ready, packed a lunch and went to the face dr. There I got another chemical peel. Oo it hurt. I look in the mirror at 1:30 and I am bright red. Hm, and I have to be at work for 3. Grreat. So I go get some food at Sonic since I can't go home and come back. Would be a waste of effort. So I'll just kill time. Then I stop by the mall so I can go in and use the bathroom and put on some makeup, and I had actually gone down in color. Yay. So I'm putting on makeup and in walks Jamie's mom. So we talk a little bit, lol. Then I finish up there and take a stroll around the mall and then go back to my car. I drive the long way around the mall to get to my work and go in. I'm there til close. It was pretty good. But I did have this massive headache. I think I didn't drink enough today. So now I'm going to go to sleep! Only way to get rid of this thing for now. 11:41PM
July 26, 2006
Wow I am tired. Was at work early today. Felt like a long day and was nice to go home. But I had to make a stop at Tropical Cafe for some turkey so I can have a nice lunch tomorrow. I was told to get some cheese too. So I got a free wrap and then a smoothie too. I poked myself in the eye, but yet it didn't hurt. Strange. I worked on some pictures tonight and I love them. One is my new background actually. Yay for photoshop. Anyway, I'm just trying to find things to do to kill the time before Project Runway comes on. Then I'll get ready for bed, talk to Grant, and go to sleep. 8:35PM
July 25, 2006
New layout! I love it! Anyway. Today: I woke up a little after 7:30 and went into the shower. I got ready, kinda slowly, but then left to go to the DMV. But they remodeled the place and I like the layout much much better. Relaxed me, in the DMVish way. I got there at 10:09, after getting gas. And got my number. A059. And the A's were only on A42. Great. So I sat and looked around at the newness. At least it had better organization to it. Strange people there though. Finally I was called. Sat down and took care of business. Probably took a whole of 3 minutes. Maybe 2. Then I was told to go to another spot and pay and then I did that and then took my picture. Dude. My picture, on my license, is fucking awesome. I was shocked that I liked it! I mean, come on! It's a license!! So I left happy. Good for you OMV (new stupid name). The whole process took 40 minutes. I then went to Barnes & Noble because I had this 15% off sticker and a gift card! So hey, that'll get me to go. So I finally got the book 'Tis by Frank McCourt and then this other book that was a dollar, hellz yeah. And so that was cool. Then I went to the mall. We got a $10 off entire purchase at Victoria's Secret so I bought some underwear. lol. Then I went to get some lunch at McCallisters. Mmm it was good. Then it started to rain as I was going to Wal-Mart. But too bad, had to go. So I got some food and stuff. Got soaked. Nearly busted my ass walking into the place. But I didn't fall, and that's what counts. I then came home and did random things. Oh, finished AlcoholEdu today. Watched some taped things. Made this rockin layout. Watched Big Brother, boy did some crazy things happen. And that's about it! I enjoyed my errands today, haven't done that in a while. 9:12PM
July 24, 2006
Slept in til after 9. I needed to see if I could change my face appointment to an earlier time or other day. So I called them up and they were like urmmm.. no. So that's great. I hope I can make it to work on time. I did get in the shower and later got some lunch for myself and also for mom. Then I went to work and was there for the rest of the night. It was good. And I'm off tomorrow, but have fantastic plans to spend them at the DMV. Yeah. You're jealous. 11:14PM
July 23, 2006
Woke up extra early and went to work for 8. I was stupid pulling into the mall area, as I made a left on red. Hello. Can't do that. Realized it when I was doing it. I was thinking it was a green, just without the arrow. I was lucky. I wasn't a cashier today, but worked in the rug room to get it in order. Boy was that a lot of work! And it was very hot and up and down and up and down the ladder. But you know what, I totally enjoyed doing that. I like organizing things like that. lol. Whatever, call me crazy. I then left after 4 and came home and relaxed. It really took a lot out of me. lol. Really! Later watched Big Brother and worked on some pictures from the aquarium. Now, I'm nearly ready to call it a night. 10:31PM
July 22, 2006
So I went over to Grant's before noon. I don't know what we did. I know we spent some time at the computer. Then we tried to decide on where to go for lunch. We ended up going to the poor mans Olive Garden, which was Macaroni Grill. They were fast and pretty yummy. Then I think we went back and did, I don't recall again. Oh yes. But we did go grab a movie at Blockbuster. Went to one, but then drove to another to find what we wanted. And got some ice cream. Got back home and struggled with the ice cream lol. Then watched Man On the Moon. It was pretty good, I thought. Then we went out to get dinner. But it was pouring and I didn't like driving in it, so I turned around and went back to a small place for food. We got it and ate at home. Then he watched some tv and I was kinda just there lol. Then we got into talking about me leaving and I got all emotional and began to cry. Which I don't like that I did, but felt good to anyway. But meh. I'm worried at what could happen :/ 11:11PM
July 21, 2006
Mmm okay. So I woke up quite early. I got ready and went over to pick up Grant for 9. I got there early yet again, but we managed to leave at the perfect time. Then I got gas and then went to the bank. And off we went! Back to New Orleans! This time to the aquarium! We had directions, but I knew where it was so I wasn't too worried. Turns out I missed the exit the directions said, so I just went my way and we got there. Parked and went for tickets. We both got in free because he was my guest and because I had a good GPA in school I got this like member card. So we went inside, only to turn around and decide to go to the IMAX and see a flick. We do and watch Sharks 3D. It was pretty cool. But I'll be honest, it gets old seeing things swim for minutes on end. Then we went back to the aquarium, which is next door more or less. And we explored the top floor and then the bottom floor. Lots of school groups there. And I took many pictures. Then we walked over to the Riverwalk for lunch. That place was empty and many stores, and places to eat, hadn't reopened yet. I forgot about that chance. So we were limited and stood in a long line for lunch. I got pizza and he got a gyro, I believe. We ate, and he tricked me by saying 'look, a monkey!' I did, because that's very possible in New Orleans, but instead he just took a big bite out of my pizza. lmao. Then we went back to the aquarium and watched the otters and penguins since they were more active. I took more pics. Then we left, yuck parking was $14. Then we drove back. He took a nap. I drove us to Linens N Things. I talked over my schedule and got an extra day in there. Yay. More money. Then I bought something for my future dorm and Grant and I went over to World Market, which is just across the way from us. I had never been there, so that's why. We ended up each buying some tea. lol. Really. Then I drove us to his apartment. We were dead tired so I tried taking a nap while he watched some tv. Got dinner and then we each did our own little thing, and it was cute. Then we got tired again and fell asleep. But only to be woken up by his alarm because I had to go :( So now I'm off to bed. Quite tired. 11:59PM
July 20, 2006
Slept in until 10. Then I pretty much got started on getting ready. I picked up some lunch at the Jambalaya Shoppe because I haven't had it in quite some time and it was good. Then I drove to Grant's and we had lunch together. Only got to see him for an hour and a half or maybe two hours or so. I had to leave and go pick up some turkey for my work lunches. But as I go out to my car, it's now pouring!!! Just coming down like crazy. And even though I wasn't very far from the overhang, I got drenched. It was terrible, but yet my house was dry. So weird sometimes. Then I went to work, and was there til close. Good night too. I'm off tomorrow and Grant and I are going back to New Orleans for another adventure! 11:33PM
July 19, 2006
Sleeping in was fantastic. I then worked on pictures for some amount of time. Then I found that it was time to get ready for work. I did and then, well, went to work. I was there til close. It was a nice night too. Not too shabby. I didn't get to see Grant today, but I'll stop by his place tomorrow. Because of GPA this past year, I got one of these free passes to a few locations in New Orleans. One place being the Aquarium, so! Grant and I will go back down there and visit the aquarium. It will be exciting. I get in free, so that's cool. And we can get $2 off an IMAX ticket, so whoot. We are excited. Night! 11:33PM
July 18, 2006
Up early today! Got ready and went to pick up Grant for 9, but made a stop at Jay's Donuts, for what else but donuts. So good. Then it turns out I got to Grant's 10 minutes early, opps, but he was pretty much ready. Then I got gas, but he wasn't feeling like the directions to the place we were heading were right. So! We went back to the apartment and looked them up. Turns out we were wrong and would have been heading in the opposite direction, near the end that is. We planned to go to the Audubon Zoo. Pretty excited. So finally we left and began the journey. We got off the interstate, and oh, it's in New Orleans and yes this area was hit by the storm. We followed the directions and ended up skipping 2 steps somehow lol. But we made it. And very good thing because I had to go to the bathroom like you wouldn't believe! I paid for the tickets and went. Then we walked around. It was a very awesome zoo. Some highlights, in general it rocks compared to our sucky one here in Baton Rouge. It's just a better setup there. Here, the animals are like in concrete areas and ugh it's just bad. At this zoo the animals were so active and I got some nice pictures! Grant almost got mauled by an elephant. It was about to throw a stick, a large one at that, at him! And it finally did, but Grant had moved. But now he decided he should have stayed and gotten hit and end up o nthe news lol. Very cool animals too. But damn was it hot. So so so hot. We were drenched with sweat. When it was time for lunch, I nearly blacked out in the line. Terrible. So I was told to sit down and then I felt better. And especially after eating. Then we finished up the zoo and just in time because it was about to rain. We got out of there and reversed the directions. Didn't have any problems until right when I was suppose to get on the interstate. I was suppose to be on the right, but instead I was 2 lanes over to the left, lol. So I u-turned and fixed that. And it was raining, which was a little scary. Then we got back to Baton Rouge, but went to eat some lunch/dinner mostly at Cracker Barrel, around 4. It was good. I had pancakes. lol. Then we went back and did computer things and watched tv. Then I left kinda early because I have to work tomorrow. Good day! 11:45PM
July 17, 2006
Woke up early for work. Went and did my thing. Then I bought some items for college. They were a mesh bag, a shower/bathroom caddy thing, and a cute blue waste basket. And a coke, but that was for right then lol. Then I picked up Grant and we went to Wal-Mart. Had a grand ole time. Sorta, not really more then average. He dropped off film, I got food. Seems opposite in a way lol. Then I had to go home and drop these things off. I did. And changed. And we hung around here for a bit. Then we left to get some dinner. Got Olive Garden to go, and omg, was it good! So so so good. Mm! Then we got his pictures and then went back to watch some tv/watch some internet stuff/watch moulin rouge. Then it was getting late and I eventually left. Oh what a day we have planned tomorrow! 11:58PM
July 16, 2006
Woke up. Went to work. Work was good. I enjoy it and the people. Yes. Then I got off and went to see Grant! Oh but boy did it rain today. Some scary thunder, I thought it was going to be a downpour, but it was like only a light ish rain. Crazy. So right, went to see Grant. Which was lovely. We had some cooked pizza and watched some tv, and Forrest Gump. And we quoted throughout that lol. Then I came home because I have work early tomorrow. 11:15PM
July 15, 2006
Woke up and went to work. It was busy! Busy! Afterwards, I bought some storage boxes for under the bed. Cool. And got a tub mat too. Cool. I know. I went to Wal-Mart too and then to McDonalds. And then came home and relaxed. Guess what everyone. Grant comes back into town! Tomorrow! But I tell you what, I have the urge to fill up my new storage boxes with my winter clothes that I'm bringing to college. So I might start that tonight. Or at least get my things together. Sort it by what I will wear, what I could wear, like to sleep in, and what I know I will not. Genius. lol. 10:01PM
July 14, 2006
Not too much going on with me so far today. Just doing computer things. I am about to get in the shower to get ready for work. Which is why I'm posting now. As I'm working from 4 to close to I probably won't feel like doing this when I get home. Which reminds me, I need to tape some shows tonight. I'll set that up now then. Okay, that's good to go. Mom and I tried out that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser thingy today on a few items. It was neat. Works decently enough to see quite a change. But it gets old rubbing it on the floor lol. 12:52PM
July 13, 2006
Slept in a little bit, later then the other days on account I didn't have work until 12. Worked from 12-6. Busy day, but it felt long. And when it was only 2 or 3, I felt like it was around 6 or 7. It was strange, lol. Then I came home. It was a cashiers last day there. So that means only 3 of us left. And then I'll leave them in August, :( I feel bad for that, but I can't help it. Hate to leave them with only 2 people. :( Eventually had dinner. Watched Big Brother. That show really doesn't thrill me like it did in early early seasons, but yet I still watch lol. Watched my I Love the's of the night and talked to Grant. He's coming back here which makes me very excited. I miss him so. But right now, I feel bad. My stomach is like about to squirm out through my belly button and fall to the ground. It hurts. Arg. 11:03PM
July 12, 2006
Woke up and went to work. It was fine. Got a paper cut. A few actually. But no biggie, because I stapled my finger the other day. lol. Which did hurt, but of course nothing major like you can imagine. It was just funny to say. "Why are you getting a bandaid" "I stapled my finger." "...hahahaha" lol. I came home and got a drink at CC's to treat myself because I wanted to dammit. Then I did nothing and it was fantastic. Photoshop finally was put on my comp again. Makes me very happy. And then Project Runaway aired with a new season tonight. I'm pumped and I think it looks great. Now I'm just catching up with the I Love the 70's. 10:07PM
July 11, 2006
Slept in today. Worked on fixing my computer. Missed Grant. He's on a youth trip and he didn't take his phone :( But I got an unexpected call from him tonight! He brought his phone afterall lol. So that was gooddd. Really missing that contact. I was off today. Originally planned to go to the DMV, but I really didn't want to. And again, it was crucial. So I didn't. lol. Just that simple. I wish photoshop was on my computer, but I'm still waiting around for it. Tomorrow it's back to work for me. 9:58PM
July 10, 2006
I'm alive. Actually, I just had some pretty bad computer problems. My comp froze one morning and wouldn't turn back on. Dad trying to fix it, but we ended up just getting a new tower. And then came the process of trying to set it up and transfering things over! And now I finally have internet access and more or less back to normal. So let me catch you up on these last few days. (but arg, my website looks funny to me now, the font that is) Okay, thed 7th. Okay. Comp froze like I said. I went to pick up Grant. He ran errands with me. I went to the bank. Then went to this DMV Express. Went inside and said to hell with that, I've got better things to do then stand in line for hours on end!! lol. I was pissed, so we left. We went to my work and went inside. He behaved as I went in the back to get my schedule. Then we left and I saw Tori in her car. Waved, but she didn't see us. Ate at Cheesecakse Bistro. It was good and he loved his, so yay! Then we went to the mall. I got some tank tops for work. Then got some eyeshadow. We of course made a stop in the Discovery Channel store and tried out the massaging things. lol. Then we left and ... oh I got some gas because I was nearly out. lol. Then we got tickets to PotC2. Went back to the appartment and relaxed. Very full from dinner, I mean lunch. Then we went to the movies for that movie. He didn't really want to see it. Oh well. lol. I did. But I have to say, I wasn't too thrilled when I saw the trailer for it, not like I was for the first movie. And in the end, I didn't care for it too much. It was okay, but eh, just not as great as the first. It was nice to see all the characters again, but I was just disappointed in this one. Then we picked up some food because we were hungry. And then went back to eat. I guess watched tv until I had to leave. The next day I slept in, sorta, less than the day before. Got ready and picked him up. Or no, I think I went inside, yeah? Idk now, lol. Oh, no, I picked him up. We returned some DVDs at Blockbuster and I was hungry so I got some McDonalds. Then we went back and I guess did nothing much really. At one point we got some lunch at 2, at Cane's. Came back and ate. Then his dad came home and then I had to leave as he was going back home at 4. :( Then I did pretty much nothing. Literally because my computer had died. Then the next few days were spent doing this nothing. Watching some tv and cleaning under my bed because it's filled with crap. And now Lexi can fit there again, lol. I had to work today, and I was also off Sunday which was nice. It was pretty busy today, but not too bad at the same time. I really love working there. It's just great for me. I came home and began to get my computer back together, programs and moving things around. Coming together slowly but surely. 9:21PM
July 6, 2006
I actually overslept this morning by almost an hour from the time my alarm goes off for the first time. Luckily dad came in and said, aren't you suppose to be up? When clearly yes, I was suppose to be. oh lol. But it was okay, I had still had enough time to get ready. I went to work. Worked 9-3 and I got my paycheck! Boy was I excited when I got this one!!! I'm very pleased. Well worth it. Yay! Then I got out of there by 3:10, amazing! Went to Wal-Mart, then the bank, then Albertson's to pick up a cake (parents 32nd anniversary today), then got Cane's because I was hungry. I came home and stayed with them for a while. Then changed and went to see Grant. We watched another Godzilla flick, and then the Matador. Which I thought was stupid. He liked it, lol. Then we saw that Grease was on so we watched the end of that. Fun stuff. Off for the next two days, but alas the schedule wasn't up yet, so I have to go to find out what I'm working. Will go after lunch tomorrow, and maybe even on Saturday! 11:14PM
July 5, 2006
Woke up early. Went to work. It wasn't too bad. It rained, which means not as busy as it would be. Which is nice. Finally got off and drove to pick up some dinner for Grant and I at Tropical Cafe. It was so good. I love it. But he didn't care for his. :( too bad. Then we watched some of his beloved Godzilla and chatted of the old days (so like a few months ago lol). And had a lovely time. Working less tomorrow then off for 2 days in a row! Oh, and payday! I'm excited. 11:14PM
July 4, 2006
If I'm not working. I'm working in my sleep. lol. I want to leave checking people out to reality and not in my dreams as well. There are never ending lines there. That gets old. lol. But seriously, I'm dreaming that. Anyway. Had work. It wasn't too bad today. Took a while for lunch to get there, but it did and then the day finished quickly. My dad showed up there too as I just came back from lunch. He told me what color of chairs to get. I get a discount which is cool. So at the end of the day I bought two rust colored outside sitting chairs. The ones that'll fold together and got in a bag. Then I came home, but first picked up dinner for the family. Came home, ate. Took some pictures earlier in the day of the scary dark sky and of some flags, since oh yeah. Happy 4th of July! lol. Later went outside to try to get some firework shots, but I don't think they came out very well. Oh well. Such as life! I'll try to go to bed earlier tonight. Working 9-5 tomorrow and then I'll pick up dinner and head over to see Grant for the rest of the evening. 10:41PM
July 3, 2006
Slept in and it was amazing. Got up and got ready. Idk what I did before I left. I left for work, but stopped at the mall for a quick pick up item. Then went to work. Worked from3 to close and then I came home. And that was my day. Sleeping in and working, lol. I was pretty happy. No plans for the 4th except to work. I'm fine with that. And it's only 6 hours, so that's even cooler! 11:42PM
July 2, 2006
Woke up early for work. Went to work. It was fine, but extremely busy. Boy was it busy! But it was good. I really do enjoy working there. My only problem today, was that my head was hurting. I got home around 7. Picked up dinner. Talked to Grant and then parents and now Grant again. He's coming back to town on Wednesday, which was the best news I heard all day. :D 11:08PM
July 1, 2006
I was off today! Which means I got to sleep in! Wrong! Woke up before 7:30 in order to drive to the car place to get new tires. We stopped at Burger King on the way home, this time I got two things of Cini Mini's. Then I got a donut at the next stop, lol. I went back to sleep then woke back up. Did some internet things. A bird was eaten last night and all that is left is it's feathers. So I went outside and took some pictures of it. Of course! lol. At one point I dropped dad off at the car place and he got his truck and I went to the movie theater to get a ticket and save a spot for him for Superman. I liked the movie. A lot. Kevin Spacey was great. Then I came home and well earlier I had a box of dinner sized Mac and Cheese, lol. Had two slices of pizza for dinner. Maybe I'll gain some weight. I'm kidna low, so this should be nice. Took more fun quizzes. And now I'll be working for the next 5 days. oo, so long. But then I'll be off for two days. I'm not too worried. I should get better shoes though. 10:09PM
