Dang it!

So it is official, I am going to have to get my own Internet at home. My neighbor that I was borrowing it from has put a password on the connection. I am saddened by this, it was nice to not have to pay for Internet. Alas, I can no longer connect to any networks. I don't want to be without it since I don't have TV. UGG!!

Merry Christmas... (a little late)

This holiday season has been kind of weird for me, it didn't snow until really late and growing up in a region with definite seasons that is the first indicator of Christmas. I started a new job in October and have been so busy with it that I didn't get in the spirit of the holiday until like the 20th. Even though I was ready to shop for gifts for my friends and family I was accidentally a very generous giver. Let me clarify that statement, I work right near the homeless shelter and I had an envelope with a large amount of my own money in it and I must have dropped it outside somewhere between my office door and my car. That was a set back to my holiday cheer but I wasn't going to let it get me completely down. (even though it was a very large sum of money)
But then I was hit by another very unsettling non-Christmas spirit event, I was accosted at the mall. When I say I was accosted I mean it I was literally attacked.
I always park in the same spot when I go to the Fashion Place mall because otherwise I lose my car. Being the 21st of December parking spots near the Nordstrom entrance I always park at were scarce. I drove around waiting for someone to leave, and after about 10 minutes I saw little white lights signaling just that. I turned on my blinker and waited for the other Honda to pull out. As I was waiting an Audi pulled up from the other direction and flashed his lights at me to say "I want this spot" I politely waved and flashed my lights back at him to say "NO effing way, I have been sitting here with my blinker on and you just pulled up the wrong way to even get in the spot move along" then the car pulled out and I pulled in. The man in the Audi was furious! He pulled behind my car rolled down his window and started screaming at me. So I sat in my car waiting for him to calm down so I could get out and start my shopping. He didn't pull away... He sat there staring angrily at me while I called people to talk to me and only got voicemails. After about 3 minutes he finally started to pull away so I felt safe to get out of my car, once he saw me exiting and walking to the doors he started screaming again and I just yelled " MERRY CHRISTMAS!!" and walked into the mall. Annoyed at this man and the crowds I hurried through the mall and didn't find anything that I wanted to buy. I walked back into Nordstroms and got as far as the women's shoes when the man came and grabbed my arm! He jerked me and I pulled back as he got right into my face calling me an "F*cking Bitch" and telling me that he was going to kick my ass for taking his parking space. I flipped my phone open and yelled
"9-1-1 " Then the fragrance ladies realized he was being aggressive and called security to escort him out of the building. My dad was sure that he was going to track me down and kill me in my sleep but I am okay so I guess I will just vary my routine just in case he is stalking me.
It was a very crazy holiday experience! But all that aside I had a great Christmas, I made it to Idaho to be with my family (barely the weather was terrible and I had some car troubles but I made it) And we had such a low key holiday that was really wonderful.
Lesson from Holiday 08, if a crazy person wants your parking spot just give it to him, its not worth it!!

I have never been so sad...

I finally finished watching Six Feet Under last night. It was the most beautiful yet completely devastating endings to such a wonderful show. I was so sad I spent 5, count them 5 hours sobbing in front of my television. The last season of that show should never be watched back to back. It is too effing sad.
I finished around midnight and had to call my little sister and discuss it in tears, I couldn't stop crying. It is really stupid but I have been so emotionally invested in this show that I was crushed. I have spent the last few weeks watching it from Season 1 to 5, waiting with bated breath for the next disk to arrive. Seeing Nate die and then in the final episode see how all of the other beloved characters meet their demise. I literally was "boo hoo-ing". As I was sobbing I tried to think of the last time that I had cried this hard and it was at an actual funeral! Talking to Sam about it didn't help I just continued to cry I had to turn on a Disney show to lighten the mood before I went to bed so that I could go to sleep with out an hour of crying in my bed. SO STUPID!!
So here I sit at work with puffy red cry eyes and feeling sleep deprived because I didn't get to sleep until 3 am I was so distraught.
I need to pick a new show to Netflix. I might start watching Weeds or watch Dexter from season one. I haven't decided yet, but it can't be really sad otherwise I will have to hide all of the sharp objects in my home from myself. Haha!!

For a minute there I actually thought I was going to be raped...

So my sisters came down this weekend and it was a lot of fun to have them! We ended up watching Step Brothers a Will Ferrell movie and it is pretty funny. Stupid funny, but I got some good laughs. There is a part in it where Will Ferrell and the other main character are fighting and they beat eachother with anything they can find. Durring the fight Will Ferrell is screaming rape!

In the aftermath as these 40 year old men are being grounded the mother yells "I watched my son use a bicycle as a weapon and scream RAPE at the top of his lungs!" and he responds "For a minute there, I actually thought I was going to be raped! You didn't see the look in his eye, and he said 'I'm gonna do you'" It was so funny!! and the other guy says " I AM NOT A RAPER!!" I died laughing. I think that I am dumber because of this movie. Dropped a few IQ points but I have a few new catch phrases to add to the repituare. BOATS AND HO'S.... BOATS AND HO'S YAY!!!

A Good Day

All in all today was a good day.
It is my mothers birthday and I forgot to send the card that I bought for her. I had to leave work early because I am sick, I think I have an ear infection and I feel like I am underwater. It has completely thrown off my equilibrium so if I move too much I vomit. In the infected ear I hear a constant whistle. It's like Thomas the Train is trapped in it, whistling in hopes someone will hear him and help him back to the track headed to freedom!! I think that I am going to have to fire someone tomorrow (a part of my job that I really don't like) I had a very uncomfortable conversation with a friend that has left me reeling, not knowing what to do with the situation.

All that said....

My Mom does NOT have cancer! You read that right! She will be able to celebrate another year a cancer free year!! It has been a long few weeks to hear back about the biopsy results that doctors were so sure would be BAD news... but NO CANCER!! I am thrilled! I feel so much better knowing that she is going to be okay. The treatment for what she does have will be painful but not life threatening. I am so pleased!

Today was a good day!! :)

I HATE!!

I hate not having TV!! I have never really gone without at least basic channels my whole life so this only netflix thing is killing me!! I just wanted to come home and just turn it on for sound! I don't want to have to pick a movie and go through the struggle of making my shit-tastic DVD player want to play it to watch a movie I have already seen.
I CAN'T STAND IT!! But I am too cheap to pay for cable or anything because I am already paying for netflix! UGG!! There are certain shows that I watch online but that isn't the same, and I steal my Internet from my neighbor so it doesn't always work. Its not like I can go knock on his door and say "damn it my Internet isn't working! What's the deal???" oh well... I guess I will log on to MTV.com and watch The Hills from my kitchen table! AGAIN!!
AHH!!

Worky work work

I am sitting at work doing some research and I am completely over it! I really want to go home, I came in this morning at 9:00 but left for a bit at 5:00 but here I sit at 8:43 wishing I was at home on my couch. Oh well... only 17 more minutes.
It has been a pretty productive day, long but productive. I got an email from someone I totally didn't want to hear from and am annoyed that won't leave me alone. I think that I handled it well but I am still annoyed. If I ask you to leave me alone please do it!
Enough about that... I need to continue to research schools that offer an online GED program... UGG!!
