there are way to many thoughts.
im pretty sure my last blog was before thanksgiving, so i need to go way back. in all, its been about a week since my last. last wednesday school was let out early so we can leave to go on vacation for thanksgiving leave. i pretty much ran to change and then to see my family in chicago.
the condo we stayed in was fucking amazing!!!!! the views, the experiences, the lessons learned, and the things i got to do. the memories will never die. in only 15 days, i get to go home for the remainder of 2009 and be with family and friends again. 2010 looks like its going to be a great year. 2009 wasnt all that bad. not great, but not bad.
school has been the same-ol same-ol. i did make class leader, so thats cool. its not like i really do anything extra awesome. im just waiting for the weekend to get here. i wanna get my glasses Jaclyn bought for me while she was in town. i love her so very much. no words will ever describe my true appreciation for her and all that does for me.
well im passing out.

expo
Today was uber boring. I worked this morning and made a whopping $11. Ginger, Addie, and Drew came in for lunch so I talked to them for a bit! Deanne asked me if I would expo tonight, so I said I would (I had nothing else to do).
Expo isn't too bad, I kept myself busy.
Jill, Randy, and Kim came in with some of their friends and Jordan met them up there. Kim was so drunk and she was acting crazy! It's weird seeing my family like that! Jason and Tiffany came in for dinner, and poor Tiffany doesn't really get along with that part of the family. Oh well. Best of intentions, I guess.
There was some drama, always. Same people, different day.
I made $17 in tips cashier/expo. I was taking a few orders so I kept the tips. I took one order of 300 wings and bagged it, but Jasmine rung him up, so I had to spilt the $20 tip with her. Oh well, I'm not complaining. The expo usually doesn't get any tips.
I got off at 10 and came straight home. I'm so tired...

massage day 1
My first day at Massage Envy! I got there at 2 and set up everything for my insurance. I didn't need training or anything, so I just hung out in the lounge until my first appointment at 3. I was talking to Jenn about Jake, he doesn't work there anymore, he was my favorite! Alexa doesn't work there anymore either! Some people were new to me, and some were familiar.
My first appointment was an hour. She was on crutches with a knee brace so it made me extra nervous. I hope I did okay!
My second appointment was an hour and it went well, I think he liked me! He said 'see you next time' when he left, so maybe he will request me!
You can tell when someone smokes, their body puts off this (kind of) strong odor. It's weird.
My third appointment was an hour and a half couples massage with Carl. Carl is a character. My client said it was very relaxing. I definitely felt lessed rushed with the hour and a half.
I got an hour break. It was originally an hour and a half but my 8 o'clock appointment was a half hour early, so they moved him up and I got to leave at 9!
My last appointment was also an hour. He seemed pleased also. (I feel so repetitive!)
Overall I did 4 and a half hours of massaging and my body felt fine! I was just a little thirsty and my wrist felt stressed, but not too painful. I just have to get back in the habit. All of my tips were on credit card, so I don't get them until payday. I'm curious to see what my checks will be like!
I had a text from Cole saying he was at Bdubbs and that they missed me, so I went there when I got off. I hung out with Cole, Dave, and his girlfriend (Alex?). I ate a buffalo ranch wrap and some fries. I surely worked up my appetite! Dave was acting so crazy, he was drunk. I had a good time, they kept me amused. When Dave left, I stayed and talked to Cole for a while.
I got home around 12...

thursday
The Dish Network guy showed up at 8am. I let him in then passed right back out for a few hours. Lucy was cuddling with me. When I woke up, I watched House season 2 episodes until the Dish was completely set up! I set up my recording schedule, all the CSIs, some Law and Order, and some other random shows.
Work was decent. Brian and Chase were my first table, my mom eventually got there and sat with them. Brian tipped me $50, and wrote ‘congrats on school, love ya’ on the receipt. Awe, I miss him so much!
If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have made that much. We were steady and luckily I had booths, so they were rotating. Poker wasn’t very exciting; most of them don’t order anything. I think it’s a waste of money to pay the poker guy for what he does, but it doesn’t matter what I think about it.
The Dish Network guy called me while I was at work. He said that somehow my kitten got in his cable box and was in his van! So he brought her up to me and I put her in my car. Evelyn picked her up and took her home for me. The poor little darlin was so scared!
David got mad at me and called me a 'stickler' because I was making him do all his side work. He was irritating the hell out of me. I wasn't going to let him get away with bullshitting his side work, but he did get away without sweeping under his booths. Oh well. It was amusing, seeing him get irritated. A stickler?! Really?!
Deanne took forever to check us out, so we were all just chilling and talking about the most random shit until 3am. I took John home and then called Matty...

cleaning, fml
Yet another boring morning shift. I only made $10.
Then I went to Petsmart and spent all my moneys on food for Ralph. :)
I came home. I feed Ralph. I started cleaning the living room and doing laundry. I went to Target to get a bill organizer. I went to Kohl's to get pants for Massage Envy. I looked in juniors, misses, and kids and couldn't find pants to fit me. I went in the active section and found some comfy yoga pants, perfect! Then I went back home. I ate some cereal and now I'm procastinating cleaning my room. I have to clear an area around my tv for the Dish Network guys, they're coming tomorrow!
No one will buy my 311 tickets, so I'm negative $107.
Matt told me he already got tickets for the Dallas @ Redskins game December 27, and I'm scheduled to work.
Taylor just told me that I have to drive separate to Chicago. Gee, poor Lola is going to be aching! :[
What else is going to get thrown at me?!

tuesday
I had to work another morning shift. Brice bought me a Pepsi from Walgreen's! :) We had to portion after the truck came, again. I only made $19. Morning shifts are always the same = boring.
On my break, I went to my mom's work to get a copy of my license and to print a calendar to write my schedule. Then I went to Massage Envy to talk to Chris. I filled out all my paperwork and got my shirts. I start Friday, yay! After I left there, I went to KFC to get some food!
Then it was back to work I went. It was slow, felt slower only having a three table section. Brian and Sam came in for a few drinks, but sat in smoking. I sat with them and chatted for a while. The highlight of my night was talking with him. He was telling me a story about his crazy ex, talking with his hands, and knocked over his full beer - all over him, the table, and the floor. Silly. I only made $38.
This one girl pissed me off. It's always the same two girls that I can't stand. Ugh! I want to say something so bad... I don't care how many tables you have or how busy or slow you are, you have to do your share of side work and silverware. Some people rather complain that they're not making any money then go sit at the bar and drink with their boyfriend. You're cool.
I went to Wal-Mart when I got off to get a few things i.e. soap, deodorant, mouthwash, 'BOO' Pepsi cans, milk, and cereal.
I ate some cereal and watched tv when I got home...

traditions
I went to Waffle House with Evelyn this morning, so delicious!
I ordered Dish Network and I'm getting it installed Thursday morning!
I cleaned Ralph's tank, it was much needed.
I went to the bank and deposited $400.
The only thing I have to look forward to: dinner and tv with Jason and Tiffany. I got to Jason's around 5. I played some DJ Hero until he was done with his conference call. We went to Hooter's for dinner. I got crab legs, of course. Then we went to Wal-Mart to get Pepsi and sunflower seeds.
Jason had to leave at 8:50 to go back to work! :[
We watched House, Accidentally on Purpose, Big Bang Theory, and Castle. All were excellent. I'm sad Cameron is leaving off House. Big Bang Theory was hysterical! Imagine geeks on special brownies!!! Fantastic.

sunday
Sunday wasn't a great day. I had to work a double, I picked up a night shift for Kristen because I could use the extra hours.
Tabitha and I always walk to Walgreen's and Subway when we work mornings together. We got 2 20 ounce bottles of Pepsi and got Leo a pack of cigarettes and our total was $6.66. Subway didn't have cookies, so I called them lazy, haha.
The morning shift was decent, minus this one lady getting in my face! Her husband had A LOT to drink and I'm not one to overcharge, but thanks for the accusation lady!! When I gave him his tab he was like there is no way I drank that much, but that's what they all say. Then, of course, the wife butted in about it. First of all, she wasn't there half the time he was! As I was talking to Evelyn about it, she comes up to me and starts bitching. What was I supposed to do? I'm not getting you free shit for you alcoholic husband - go home and drink a 24 pack of your stupid Miller Lite bottles. Whatever, she paid her $70 tab and gave me an $11 tip, more than I thought I would get.
Shift change didn't go that smooth. I felt like I was the only one working, but that's how I feel more than half the time yet I get NO recognition for my hard work.
Oh yah, the closer decided to call out and Chuck said if someone didn't volunteer to close, then we all would have to. 3 out of 5 of us were doubles, Stewie was about to go into overtime, and then Rachel, she's just lazy. So Walter pulls me aside to talk. He said since I get whatever I want schedule-wise, that I should close. The way he put it was basically that I didn't have a choice if I wanted my request offs granted. Lucky me, I had to work 17 hours straight.
The only thing that sucks about serving people that are watching football is that the sit there for 3 hours and only tip 15%, and in non-smoking you get more sodas than alcohol, so you really feel like you're working for free.
I had this one table of kids, probably my age, and they all were drinking sodas or waters. They sat there for the 1 o'clock games AND the 4 o'clock games and half of them didn't tip. Parents need to teach their kids how to tip, please!
There was one table of three guys that sat through most of the Patriots/Colts game. One of the guys went up to the bar, got a beer, and came back. When he was done with it, I asked him if he wanted another, he said no he will go to the bar because he has cash. That is so annoying, haha. He ended up tipping good though, along with leaving his name, number, and 'text me' his receipt, loser.
Jeremy and one of his friends came in for some beers. I sat and talked with them because I was bored. His friend talks way too much. I hung out with them two before and I don't think I even got the chance to say a whole sentence, haha.
Funny side note story time: There is a regular named Kelly and she was getting schwasted and even more since Green Bay won! A few hours later, her husband is calling up there to see if she was still there, and no she wasn't. He said that she just called him and said she was sitting in front of the Golden Tee machine. That's a big negative! Do I smell a lyin', cheatin', son of a gun!?
Walter took care of my dinner since I closed. Thank you. I also asked about me working another job, he said he would approve of it since I was bettering myself. I hope that means I could still get decent shifts and work part time at Massage Envy.
Closing wasn't too bad because I made $195. I didn't get out of there until 2, I was trying to get out early!
Matt and I had a good phone conversation, it was just too short. I love our random discussions, it just sucks when we disagree because we're both stubborn and always have to be right! I love him.

saturday
I didn’t do diddly squat during the day, because I didn’t have to.
I went to work at 4. It was a decent night. I had booths so I was rotating my tables and it was steady all night. I got cut around 11ish. I had this one table just sit there texting on their phones after they paid and that held me up like an extra half hour!
I went to Jeremy’s house when I got off. I had left my hat there Friday night so I wanted to get it back. He wouldn’t give it to me, he hid it and I couldn’t find it. So I said fuck it and I just stayed and watched tv with him. We watched the end of Robin Hood Men in Tights and Dane Cook, who was fucking hilarious!! I left after that. He still wouldn’t give me my hat so I walked to my car and five seconds behind me he walked out to my car and finally gave it back, haha.
Matt and I got in a semi-big and dumb argument about his best friend… I could go on but I don’t really want to.

friday
Friday was an adventure, well, not really.
I just hung out at home until mom picked me up around 5:15. We picked up Jason and then went to the mall. I got some new boots from Old Navy, 30% off!
We met Tiffany at Bdubbs a little after 7 for dinner. Yes, it's weird going to where I work to eat dinner on my day off, but that's where they wanted to go! Tabitha gave me my schedule, once again, it sucks!!
Tiffany wanted to goto the mall after dinner, so we went back. I walked around with Jason while Tiffany and mom did their thing. I got a blizzard from DQ and we went in some stores. He made me go in AE, haha, like it's hard. Mom was supposed to take me to Petsmart but they rather shop in NY&C until the mall closes. After we took Tiffany and Jason back to her car, mom took me home.
Dad said Matt and I could use Nanny's condo for our honeymoon!! I'm so excited. That saves us a lot of money!!
Then I went to hang out with Jeremy. We just hung out and watched tv. It's nice having a guy friend and a relationship not based on sex. We're just friends and it's nice. We watched Black Sheep. We started watching Jeepers Creepers 2 but I thought it was lame so I changed it. Then we started watching Mr. Brooks. I didn't watch much of it because I was getting sleepy.

thursday
Work sucked Thursday. It was kind of slow for a Thursday but if people knew how to TIP it would've been a much better night. Mom, Jason, and Tiffany didn't come to see me either! I only made $72.
We started doing this new thing on Thursdays for the NFL games. If you buy 8 or more boneless wings you can enter to win a certain jersey i.e. we gave away a Bears jersey because they were playing. Walter and me got into it about it, haha, whatever.
Walter said he gave me A bar shift next week and if I gave it up, it would be my last. I couldn't careless right now. He didn't put the schedule up yet.
It rained for 2 days straight and it was so fucking windy. I thought Lola was going to blow away on my drive home. I hate this weather.

rainy days
I woke up with stiff legs, I should've known that was coming!
I went with Evelyn and her daughter to get her car back this morning. Fletcher's Towing is like two doors down from our house, who knew! haha
Work was pretty lame, again. I'm not sure when a morning shift is not lame. It was slow but of course I had one late lunch table and they were there until 2:30. I made $29.
I came home and I've been relaxing, doing a lot of nothing, ever since. Watched some House Season 1 and parts 1 and 2 of the CSI trilogy.
Oh yah, I called the Board of Nursing and they were closed, figures.
TweetWARS!

cramps
Work was uber lame this morning. Charlie and Nancy came in for lunch so I talked with them for a few minutes. I only had two tables and made $15. We had to portion after the shift again, that's always fun!
I got bitched at today. Deanne was being kind of, mean, to say it nicely. She was in the kitchen helping with tickets. I rang in a chili con queso as an appetizer and took it when it was ready, of course. I didn't think that would be a big deal but she made it into one. It was re-made, which wasn't really my fault, so she started her whole spiel. I was standing in the window next to Walter and she starts by telling him it was re-made because people take things without telling anyone blah blah. She said that we should ring appetizers up on a separate ticket. (I've tried that before and it usually causes more problems.) Then he gets on my case, like she's right and blah blah. I'm probably not making any sense, well it didn't really, it was stupid. I love how she can just come back and think she fucking owns the place.
I got off around 1:30 and went home. I changed my clothes and headed to King William. When I got there, I got Gene to check and see if one of my headlights was out, and yes, it was. So we drove up to Napa and he got me a new headlight and replaced it for me. Then I went to BP for gas then went back to the house. I ate my barbecue and corn leftovers and watched Lingo. About 15 minutes after I ate, I went for a run. I ran/jogged/walked for 15-20 minutes with Kylo. I went inside to chill for a few minutes. Then I did 10 minutes of moms elliptical machine. My legs are going to be killing me tomorrow. When mom got home we went to Don Pedro's for dinner. When we got home we watched some Law and Order: SVU. When Gene got home we played a round of Knock and a round of Five Crowns. I definitely got my ass kicked. After the card games, mom and I watched an episode of Law and Order: CI. Then I went home.
I was having the worst abdominal cramps after dinner until a little while ago. I'm pretty sure it was mostly gas because I felt 90% better after some much needed farts!

state board
Well, now I know what I need to do tomorrow! I just received a reply to the email that I sent NCBTMB yesterday:
Ms. Jennings
I have contacted Pearson VUE regarding the request you submitted to have your scores submitted to the Board of Nursing. They state that your exam results were processed on 9/10/2009 and were mailed to:
Department of Health Professions
Board of Nursing
Perimeter Center Ste 300
9960 Mayland Dr
Richmond, VA 23233
I recommend that you contact the Board of Nursing to see if they have a record of your scores being received. Since there is only a two week difference from the date your scores were sent out and the date you received the letter perhaps the two items crossed in the mail.
I will contact them tomorrow after work! Matt, make sure I do, please!

massages
I thought it was going to be the best Monday ever... but Mondays aren't supposed to be a great day, I suppose.
I woke up and started getting ready for my day. As I was in the bathroom doing my hair, Massage Envy called and I got uber stoked. Chris told me I could work part time and to come in to set up a schedule.
I went there to Massage Envy at noon. I brought my NCBTMB (National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork) certificate with me as proof. Then he asks if I had one from the state. Well, obviously not. He goes on the Board of Nursing website to look me up, and I'm not there. I get so upset. I can't work there, or anywhere for that matter, until I get my State certificate. In Virginia you have to be both State and Nationally certified. Yes Matt, it's the same for Illinois!
Well, I don't know who to blame, myself, NCBTMB, or the Board of Nursing. I think I did everything that I needed to. I sent in all my stuff to NCBTMB and the Board of Nursing the day after Ms. Penas gave me everything but I received a note from the Board of Nursing like a month later saying they haven't received my scores or NCBTMB hadn't send them. I was just hoping they didn't have them YET and I waited it out. Obviously I should have done something about it. I have proof that they took the money out of my account and everything so I'm wondering what I can to do about it? Do I have to resend NCBTMB the form and money for them to send the Board of Nursing my scores? I don't really want to pay twice for their mistake.
This career of mine sure does take me on loOps.
Well, after driving 30 minutes to Short Pump only to realize I wasn't getting a job, I was really upset. Crash and Burn.
I was driving around Richmond to kill time and to try to take my mind off things. The fact that I was headed to Blood Pressure clinic to DO massages didn't really help me feel better about not getting a job. Oh well.
I got to the clinic at 1. I got Cole to come out and help me carry my stuff upstairs. I got everything set up and then began my massages. The goal was to massage 5 employees for 30 minutes for $30 each. Well, Cole was #4 but he had patients so I couldn't massage him and I guess there really was no #5. So, I only did 3 employees for 30 minutes, but still got paid for the 2 hours I was there. $120 is a nice chunk of change! They all loved me too. I love making other people happy! :)
When I got home I started to try and figure this NCBTMB/Board of Nursing conflict out, but I don't really know what to do about it. I emailed the NCBTMB info line and Ms. Penas. Hopefully I'll get the answers I need sooner than later.
I got to Jason's at 5:30 instead of 7. He did his conference call from home instead of at the store. I started playing some DJ Hero. I paused it to make and eat dinner, we had grilled cheese and french fries. Then I finished my play list. I'm definitely getting better! Games like that are so addicting but I never knew it before. We watched Hannah Montana, House, Accidentally on Purpose, Big Bang Theory, and Castle - which were ALL amazing. I missed part 1 of the CSI trilogy but I figured I'd watch them all online, together, anyway.
I bought my ticket to see 311 at the National on November 29. :)

nfc east
It was a great day in the NFC East - Redskins lost to the Falcons, Giants lost to the Chargers, Phillies loset to the COWBOYS! :) I got to watch football all day, so that part was awesome.
Around 5 Jeremy started texting me. I met him at his house and we went to Famous Dave's for dinner. It was delicious!! I had pulled barbecue, baked beans, corn bread, and a Pepsi. When we got back to his house we watched What Happens in Vegas, fucking hilarious!!
I love my fiance, no matter what.

time and distance
Saturday... I haven't worked a Saturday night in non-smoking in a long time, but I think we were busy for a Saturday. I guess it's the NCAA football. We were steady until 10.. 11.. around then. It was party central - there were party tables everywhere and everyone was getting mad that their tables were getting stolen.
Walter kept changing the floor chart so the big parties would be all in one section, to make everything 'fair' but I the sections still weren't even so I was asking why he did it they way he did. Of couse, he is like you give up your shifts and get people to close for you and blah blah. I gave up a close ONCE when I had to be at the airport at 5am. He said he was doing me a favor by giving me a Monday bar shift, even though I never work Mondays but he said he didn't know that, yah sure, that's why I'm never scheduled. I told him I had a massage thing to do (I picked to do it Monday because I figured I would be off) so that's why I gave it up. So, yah, thanks for the one bar shift on the day I NEVER work, smart ass.
Since we were busy it made everyone more lazy on the side work, I hate that shit so much! The closer doesn't have side work for a reason, but people can't keep up with running side work so the closer has to even more extra shit anyway. I am a team player and all, but after you clean other's tables, sweep up their sections, do the dishes over and over, it gets old, fast. You're welcome for the help and thanks for returning the favor, lazy asses.
The Dish network guys always come in on Saturday nights - they didn't sit in my section but I stole them anyway. They always eat a shitload of wings, drink a bunch of sodypop, and tip well! I'm going to get Dish network! DVR babyy!
Mr. Ed Simpson, one of my massage therapy teachers, came in for dinner. I didn't get to serve him but I sat and chatted with him for a bit. I miss him and I can tell he misses us, we were his favorite! (Hey Matt, he wants to meet you!) He said the clinic students lately aren't doing well and the pass/fail rate is lower. I don't think it's the teachers fault, at all, but he said they're making it like it is him. It's the students, they have to want to do well, especially in a hands on field like massage therapy. You can't learn everything out of a book, it's not all about the traditional notes, outlines, flash card, memorization stuff. It's about patience, practice, practice, practice, and dedication. I remember learning hands on, it was my favorite part and I practiced everyday after school! That's why I got A's and did well on my preceptors and student evaluations!
Jeremy and Brandon came in for some drinks so I was talking to them for a while. They're always giving me a hard time, especially about massage therapy, the dirty jokes will never end. I was just standing there with my hands on the table, and then Jeremy started looking at my hands. I'm like what are you looking at? I've seen him a few times since September 29, and he JUST noticed my rock, haha.
The Red Wings lost pretty bad tonight, they need to step it up! :[
I was there til 2:30 cleaning up shit because three or four tables decided to stay until closing time, that never happens in non-smoking. I couldn't do trash, cups, spit bucket, chairs, floor... until they left. I had to take Evelyn and John home so they helped me a bit! :) After I did my check out, I had $137, then I found $15 on the floor!! $152 babyy!
I was drinking a Red Bull and cranberry juice throughout the end of the night, so I was kind of wired and talking a lot. I blame this for my ADD on the phone with Matt. I'm sorry babe.
We were bickering all night and I don't like bickering because it (usually) gets you nowhere. In the end you just realize you're BOTH being stupid, you BOTH need to try harder to not give up, and everything will be okay... because we LOVE each other. I love you Matt Drake.

crabcakewich
I went to the Urbanna Oyster Festival with my dad, Debbie, and Barrie. When we got there, we walked to the stand that Gene works at to get crab cakes. He wasn't there. I got a crab cake and a hot dog and they were both delicious! After we ate, we were just walking around and we ran into Gene. Then I ran into Dan! Debbie and Barrie went back to the van to get more dranks and Dad and I just walked around, I was freezing my buns off. They brought me my other jacket and a sodypop. We walked around some more. We looked at all the neat crafts and whatever else there was to see. Sallie was supposed to call me when they got there but they never did. We left kind of early, like 5-5:30. It would have been way more fun if it wasn't so windy and if I had gotten a funnel cake!!
We went to Nanny's on the way home to use the potty. We ended up chit chatting for awhile with everyone. Then Daddy took me home.
I was just chilling on the couch, watching House. Evelyn left to go get take-out for dinner. A few minutes later, she called me. Cops pulled her over and said she had to get someone to come pick her up. I got there and had to wait for like 45 minutes. She had gotten a DUI Wednesday night, spent the night in jail and all, but supposedly your car is supposed to be impounded for 30 days after a DUI, so they had to get it towed. The cop said he pulled her for her brake lights being out, which they weren't. So she got a ticket for driving on a suspended license and they didn't have a legit reason to pull her. Lame! Now she is without a car and all this is going to cost her an arm and a leg...

oh yeah. creep
I had that meeting with Dave and Cole downtown at 1:30. I found the place just fine, I usually get lost driving around Richmond. Dave was running a little late so I just sat with Cole watching him do his job. When Dave got there, he showed me around. Then we talked about when I could come back: Monday afternoon, 1 pm, 5 30 minute massages, $30 each. :)
Work was interesting, I guess? Tech was playing at 7:30 so the poker guy didn't have a 7:00 game but a bunch of people showed up for it, got mad, then didn't come back. Everyone was being uber lazy with side work and shit but I won't get into that now. I don't have anything else to complain about, besides lazy bitches. The 9:30 poker game was alright, I suppose. Well, I made $130.
Oh yeaaahhh, my schedule sucks, again! This chick is looking for a new job! I might start doing house calls (massages, nothing nastyy) but I don't know how much I should charge for that? Oh yeah, stop making whore jokes about my job, kthnx.
Oh and the creep thing. This guy used to (months ago) come in at least once a week and BEG me to go out with him. Eventually he said if you turn me down one more time I will leave you alone. I didn't see him awhile after that. Except like a month ago he was in there and asked if I remembered him. Anywho, there was a group of like 7 people, and after awhile one guy called me over, I guess my name tag gave it away that I was Jaclyn (who knew), and the guy was like "Do you remember Matt Faulkner?!" It took me a minute, then I'm like ohhh yeaaahhh. So, this guy tells me that Matt STILL talks about me ALL the time but he moved away from Glen Allen so he never comes in Bdubbs anymore and that he would like me to call him sometime and he gave me Matt's number. Sorry for the run-on sentence, but WOW. Creeper.
And, Dan is THE man! hehe

dj hero
So, tonight wasn't that boring after all. Jason invited me over for cheesy pasta and Tekken 6! Pasta = delicious! Tekken 6 = kicked his ass! He bought DJ Hero today, so he showed me how to play! O M G I love it, basically! My arm hurts now though!
Adam IMed me via facebook and we chatted for a few. We talked about video games, haha.
Now I'm bored again. They're watching White Collar but I've already seen this episode.

feeling this
I got a feeling, tonight's going to be a boring night.
I went to the bank on the way to work this morning and deposited $290. The money Matt transferred finally showed up too! I'm feeling slightly less stressed about money...
Work wasn't too bad this morning. I only had three tables: a 2 top, a party of 9, and a 5 top. I walked out with $32, which wasn't too bad for 3 tables, that's $2 a head and way better that $2 an hour! :)

chicken wangs
I didn't get to watch CSI:Miami last night. I also missed it last week. I'll have to wait for CBS.com to have it available.
I definitely got my blanket caught on my nose ring and pulled the bitch out at 6 this morning. I'm trying to find the damn thing in the dark with sleepy eyes. Of course I didn't find it. I put another one in a went back to bed. When I woke up, I looked around some more. The fact that it's clear doesn't make it any easier. I blame my nose ring for me being 15 minutes late for work this morning.
When I got to work, there wasn't any prepping to be done. We had to wait for the truck before we could portion anything. Brice and I went to Subway and got a tuna sub to split. I did my side work. I ate my sub. Then the tables started showing up! It was Deanne's first day (back). So far, so good. She was the server manager way back when I was a cashier! Well, I made $36, everyone was tipping decent. Oh, I also got a $40.01 paycheck!
On my break, I went to Claire's in the mall and got a pack of clear nose rings. I knew I couldn't get away with a regular one longer than one shift. Katie had mentioned it when I was doing my check out. Then I went to the bank and deposited 223.01. I got home, fed Ralph, and some other diddle daddling. I got my Jeff Dunham's Peanut t-shirt in the mail! I heated up my leftover pizza in the toaster oven. I kind of burnt the bottom a lot so I only had half of a piece and I gave the rest to Evelyn.
I'm curious why Matt's money transfer still hasn't gone through!
I went back to work. We went on a waiting list at 6:30, that hasn't happened in forever! We were pretty steady for a few hours.
Highlight of my night: Dave and Cole came in. They always ask for me, of course! :) I informed them that I finally received my certificate! I set up a meeting with them to tour their facility on Thursday. They work/volunteer at a blood pressure clinic downtown and Dave has been asking me to come in for like a year now, but I wanted to wait until I got my certificate. He offered to pay me to massage his staff, four ladies, and he and Cole want massages also. I'm so excited! I guess Thursday after my tour I will set up appointments with them and hopefully this will become like a monthly thing.
Tonight wasn't a typical wing night, for me. No one was stiffing me! I ended up making $81. So that's 117 (+40.01) all day! :)
I got home, fed Ralph, talked to Matt, changed my clothes, ate some noodles, watched tv...
I definitely got my blanket caught on my nose ring and pulled the bitch out at 6 this morning. I'm trying to find the damn thing in the dark with sleepy eyes. Of course I didn't find it. I put another one in a went back to bed. When I woke up, I looked around some more. The fact that it's clear doesn't make it any easier. I blame my nose ring for me being 15 minutes late for work this morning.
When I got to work, there wasn't any prepping to be done. We had to wait for the truck before we could portion anything. Brice and I went to Subway and got a tuna sub to split. I did my side work. I ate my sub. Then the tables started showing up! It was Deanne's first day (back). So far, so good. She was the server manager way back when I was a cashier! Well, I made $36, everyone was tipping decent. Oh, I also got a $40.01 paycheck!
On my break, I went to Claire's in the mall and got a pack of clear nose rings. I knew I couldn't get away with a regular one longer than one shift. Katie had mentioned it when I was doing my check out. Then I went to the bank and deposited 223.01. I got home, fed Ralph, and some other diddle daddling. I got my Jeff Dunham's Peanut t-shirt in the mail! I heated up my leftover pizza in the toaster oven. I kind of burnt the bottom a lot so I only had half of a piece and I gave the rest to Evelyn.
I'm curious why Matt's money transfer still hasn't gone through!
I went back to work. We went on a waiting list at 6:30, that hasn't happened in forever! We were pretty steady for a few hours.

lazy days
I accomplished nothing Sunday. I slept in til noon-ish and watched football all day. How bout them Cowboys!!
I paid some bills and now I feel like I'm going to be broke when they all clear. Matt and his mom owe me money for the Thanksgiving condo. It's coming directly out of my account, so I hope I have their money before it gets taken out. My account hasn't been this low in years...
Today is my dad's 55th birthday, he's getting old! I had lunch with him at 2 at some Italian place in Chester. I had pizza, it was yummy.
When I got home, I cleaned Ralph's tank. He hid under my nightstand while I was cleaning, hehe. Mom dropped off some rosy red goldfish and worms for him on her way home. He is the most spoiled turtle ever!
I got to Jason's at 7, like normal. We went to Ukrop's for dinner. Then they went grocery shopping. House wasn't on tonight because of the damn World Series. We watched Accidently on Purpose - very funny! Now we're watching Gilmore Girls, then Big Bang Theory, then Castle or CSI:Miami. Monday night tv is my fave!

halloween
Wow, we just gained an hour!
I wore my Halloween costume to work today. Half of the people didn't think to wear one, sillies! It was a slow morning. I was the last cut so that's how I made money. I also got stuck there til 5:30 because I didn't want to close out or transfer my tables. I made $80 which wasn't too bad!
I went home after work and I had to grab something to eat because my head was killing me.
I went to pick up Taylor. After she got ready, we picked up Traci. We went trick or treating in Kings Charter. One of the first people we go up to to get candy asked if we were too old. I'm thinking it was going to be asked all night, but they're the only ones. People noticed we were older but didn't really care I suppose. We got lots of candy, I'm so excited!
After wearing our little toots off, we went to Bruster's to get ice cream!
Then we came back to my house. We sorted through our candy and traded what we didn't like. We watched Saw II and then I took them back to Taylor's house. It was raining like crazy and I was hydroplaning like crazy. I hate that part.
When I got home I watched Saw III and now I'm sleepy...

haunted trail
I got some cleaning done Friday, much needed cleaning. I cleaned out Ralph's tank, completely cleaned the bathroom but it gets dirty again in two seconds, washed dishes and towels. That's about it.
I met mom at Kohl's around 5:20 then we went to dinner at Gus' with Gene, Ronda, Angie, Olivia, Adeline, Tate, Clara, and Sofia. Mom and I split the tuna club and it was delicious!
After dinner we went to (one of) mom's boss' house for his haunted trail. We got there around 7. Jason and Tiffany and eventually Sallie, John, and Corre met us there. We went through the trail around 8:30. It was neat and slightly scary. The bonfire was very nice! The kids were kind of impatient they didn't stay too long after we all went through the trail. I stayed with Jason and Tiffany and chatted with Sallie for a while.
Jason took me to my car then I went to their house to hang out for an hour or two. We watched The Jeff Dunhan Show and White Collar. I got a Halloween costume for Taylor from Tiffany. I went home around midnight. I watched Season 1 of House til I passed out.

sad
Why do I feel so sad and lonely?...
Why do I do the things I do when they don't get noticed or appreciated?...

dumb
I got another letter from Kali - he wants to crash on my sofa for like a week when he gets out of jail. I don't think I could live through that again. I don't trust him.
Last night was pretty slow and everyone was being lazy and irking my nerves. I had three tables prior to poker - My mom, Jason, and Tiffany. Matt's mom, sister, and brother. and a family of four.
We had a decent crowd for the VT game and the World Series, but when poker takes my whole section it doesn't matter.
I made $85. $25 from Dave (one of the regulars) and $10 from Brice for cleaning up all his shit so they helped my nightly funds for sure.
My schedule definitely sucks again the week.
I called Matt, like always, and he definitely says the darnest things in his sleep like:
Matt: Who won the Talledega game?
Me: The Talledega game?
Matt: yes!
Me: What are you doing?
Matt: About to get in the shower.
Me: Why are you going to take a shower in the middle of the night?
Matt: That's what I always do.
Me: What are you thinking about?
Matt: aerial atom.
Me: What's that?
Matt: a car.
I'm going to watch Season 1 of House until I fall asleep...

honeymoon
Matt and I are planning to goto Rodanthe, North Carolina for our honeymoon in July and it's going to cost 2k for this huge house for just the two of us. I'm kind of thinking that costs too much. My dad always goes to Florida for the 4th of July and stays in my Nanny's condo for FREE. I'm curious, since my wedding is on the 4th, if he won't be going or if he goes he'll come back early or something... then maybe Matt and I could drive to Florida and stay there. It would save lots of cash money. Something to think about. :)
tekken 6
Last night wasn't very exciting, at all. We didn't have the bartender competition because no one sign up for it. Karaoke was pretty busy, non was a little busier than a normal Wednesday, but not much. I think some people came out for the stupid World Series. Side note: I only think it's stupid because I really don't like the damn Yankees or the fucking Phillies! I made $42 and got cut around 10. I got bitched at for not selling any pumpkins! :x
I went to Jason's after work and played him in Tekken. I have to admit, he was kicking my ass! I blame it on the xbox controller because I'm usually kicking his ass! There's this one girl character named Alisa that's sick as hell. She can take her head off, throw it at you, while you're holding it it explodes! She always has chainsaws! The bitch is crazy but she looks so innocent, haha.
I got super tired and really didn't want to drive home so I just slept on his couch.
We played some more Tekken this morning. I ate some frosted Cheerios. Then I came home.
I fed Ralph, played with Lucy (Matt named the kitten that), bought Matt's December flight (for the record now he owes $889.62), did some laundry, watched some tv. It's freaking cold in here...

kitty
so, the Red Wings won last night! It was a really close game! :) now we're 4-4-2... getting better!
I'm working a double today. This morning was uber slow! I only had three tables and one of them stiffed me. I made $14 though.
I went to the bank when I got off. I deposited $150.
Then I went to Ukrop's. I got some chicken tenders, 57 sauce, macaroni and cheese, a slice of cornbread, and a Pepsi.
Then I went to Petsmart and got more rosy red goldfish and some crickets for Ralph. He kind of just stared at the crickets at first, like "what are these!?" but he ate them!
My baby kitten died like right after I got home. She was barely moving/breathing when I picked her up. I tried to feed her but she didn't have much left in her. She finally gave up, poor thing.
I'm going back to work in an hour. We're having a bartender competition tonight, but I'm working in non-smoking so I won't be wrapped up in all the excitement.

trivia
Tonight was pretty slow at work, I only had like four tables. We do a trivia tournament on Tuesdays so I was playing along with one of the regulars Dan the whole night. I made $32 which was decent for what I was working with, haha.
My cousin Jordan came in with a bunch of his friends and Tabitha waited on them. She thought he was cute so I told him after he left, haha. He was interested so I gave him her number and told him to text her. Little miss match maker!
I just watched SAW I and now it's bedtime! :)

monday night
It was a lazy Monday, at first. It wasn't my usual Monday either. I watched some tv, played on the computer, and made a new resume! I usually watch all my favorite shows on Monday but not today! :[
I had to work and I don't do Mondays. It wasn't that bad, bad at all actually. In October we raise money for the St. Jude's children's fund. Monday is kid's night. Tonight we set up a few tables for pumpkin painting, face painting, a costume contest, and goody bags with lots of cool prizes and all contributions went to St. Jude's. We got a good crowd for all the festivities and a little dinner pop.
After 8, all the kids cleared out and the football fans poured in. I had a great section tonight and turned a good amount of tables, except for the people watching the game. BOO the Eagles won and HAHA the Redskins lost. I don't like either team but I would rather have the Eagles lose because now we're tied for second. Well, I had a good night. I walked out with $125 and that is excellent for most Monday non-smoking shifts!
I called Matt when I got off and he was mean to me again! :[
I'm watching My Best Friend's Girl...

nascar
Sunday.
Daddy woke me up at 4:30am. I got dressed then we headed to Martinsville. I slept the whole way there. We got there around 8ish. We ate breakfast and sat in the car for a little while. Then we walked around and looked at all the trailers. We got three free coozies and got to watch Speed TV interview Jimmie Johnson! I was uber sad I forgot my camera. Then we went back to the car. I ate some chicken then I took the nap. We went in the track about an hour before the race. It was pretty chilly because the sun kept hiding behind huge clouds. Overall, it was pretty decent. Mid-race Dad and I went to get hot dogs, sooooo yummy! Jimmie finished 2nd which wasn't too bad because he is still 1st in points! We beat all the traffic and headed back to Chesterfield.
We made a few stops. Got ice cream from the Tastee Freez. Got Brunswick Stew, Pepsi, and water from Wal-Mart.
When we got back to Dad's, I made Brunswick Stew and watched the end of Edward Scissorhands. After I ate, I got all my stuff together and headed home.
Just watched CSI:NY.

pre-halloween
Saturday.
We woke up super early. Tiffany and I got ready and we went to Ashley's house. Ashley, Tyler, Tiffany, and I went to King William to go to Rehoboth Baptist Church yard sale. They didn't really have anything so it sucked that we woke up so early. After we left the church we stopped by mom's to feed Kylo.
We went to the pumpkin patch!! We took the hayride to the field and picked out about nine pumpkins. I was selected to do the all-you-can-carry-ing. A bunch of the stems would break when I held them or they were prickly so that made it hard. I eventually held 7 pumpkins in my arms. We put all the pumpkins on the hayride and rode back. Right when you get off they ask you to load up and take three steps. I was basically running, they were so heavy but I did it!! I totally got uber dirty too! 7 pumpkins for $20! Awesome! :)
We went to the Smokey Pig for lunch. I got barbeque and baked beans, delicious! I got full fast though so I felt uber wasteful! :(
We stopped by the mall. We went in the purse store, they make pretty much everything by hand so it's really neat. I got a lady bug pendant but it doesn't stay on the chain it came with so I'm going to make a hemp necklace with it. Then we went to Kay Jewelers, they were super busy because they were having a huge sale! I got my ring cleaned and I also picked out my wedding band. It has an amethyst stone (Matt's birthstone) in the middle and two sapphire stones (my birthstone) on each side. It also comes with engravings, but I don't know if I want names or dates.
We went to my house to check on the kitties, feed Ralph, and get all my clothes. Of course I forgot my keys at Jason's house so I opened the window and crawled through. Ashley and Tiffany were playing with the kitten and giving her milk. I played with Ralph and then packed up all my things.
We went back to Ashley's house so Ashley could get her stuff and Tiffany could get her car. Then we went back to Jason and Tiffany's house and started carving pumpkins! I wasn't really interested in carving, I just wanted to play with the goo! I cleaned out three big pumpkins! Ashley and Tiffany sorted through the seeds and then baked them.
I took a shower then began getting dressed for the Halloween party! We left for the party around 6:30. I made Jason drive my car because it was uber uncomfortable for me to drive in my cowboy boots!
The party was fun! Lots of junk food, good music, and dancing! I didn't drink or anything. I was sitting just texting for a while but I didn't want to be a party-pooper all night. I danced a little. I did the Cha Cha slide but I kept messing up, haha. The funniest moment: Mike was eating a cupcake and was almost finished but I walked up to him and tried to shove the cupcake in his face but instead it fell on the floor. So I picked it up and then smeared it on his face! It was great! Of course he plotting revenge on me all night but I used my ninja skills and defeated him.
I left there and got to Dad's house around midnight. I passed out pretty fast! I was pooped.

short pump
I went to Jason and Tiffany's at 6pm. Ashley and Tyler were there too. We were supposed to go to the pumpkin patch to get pumpkins but they close at 6. We just went to Short Pump mall, ate dinner at the food court and walked around the mall until they closed. Then we came back to the house and Jason, Tiffany, and I watched The Jeff Dunham Show, hilarious. Side note: Tyler is the cutest two year old ever! He definitely says the darnest things, most of them Jason tells him to say, haha.
Tomorrow: We're [planning on] waking up early to go yard sailing. Rehoboth, my church, is having a huge yard sale starting at 7am. Then we're probably going to the pumpkin patch and a Halloween party!! I ♥ Halloween!
I hope Jason and Tiffany don't sick of me this weekend!
poker night
I guess I'll start with last night - work started off slow. Poker started setting up at 6 and took up like 6 tables so I got Chuck to cut someone, and that definitely benefited me because I took care of poker and my original section, so I actually had my tables rotating. Mom, Jason, Tiffany, Ashley, and Tyler came in for dinner! :) It was a good night, I walked out with $144 but I didn't get home until 3am.
Oh yeah, hockey news. My team = Red Wings. Matt's team = Coyotes. Red Wings lost to the Coyotes 2-3 in OT. The Red Wings aren't doing so well so far this season: 3-3-2. He hasn't mentioned it yet though...
I had to wake up and be back at work at 10am this morning. I usually dread morning shifts because I'll walk out with only $20 and it feels like a waste of time. I actually made $55. I was supposed to late stay but Stewie volunteered to switch with me, which was totally fine with me.
After work I went to the bank and deposited $276.61 into my checking account and then went to Petsmart. I bought some kitten milk and a bottle so I could feed my little babe. I also bought Ralph some meal-worms and rosy red goldfish, he sure loves them!
I'm watching Jerry Springer, this show always makes me go "wOw!," haha.
I'm going to Jason and Tiffany's house in a little while...

that darn cat
I don't want to be a 'cat lady' but every time I get a cat, they multiply. My cat, Theo, her first litter was only two - and I got rid of one when they were old enough. The other kitten, Delilah, drives me crazy. I can't figure out how to potty train her, I've done everything I would normally do but she is extra stubborn. I tried making them outside cats but an opossum would eat all their food and that gets expensive! Delilah would poop and pee on the couch. Then she started pooping in the litter box and still peeing on my couch. I began to think she was doing it out of spite because one day I was doing laundry and she popped a squat on my pile of clothes while looking up at me. Now she poops beside the litterbox and not in it. Theo had another litter of two kittens and I feel like she nelects them and shows more attention to Delilah, who still tries to feed off her when she is way past eating on her own. One of the two kittens is sooo much smaller than the other, and Theo doesn't seem to care. My cats are bitches.

trifling-ass-hoes
I went into work today with these two thoughts:
One - I left my shirt there the previous Wednesday, so I'm curious if someone stole it or not.
Two - I made $14 during my last shift, Wednesday, so I wasn't expecting to make much money.
Well, I looked for my shirt and no such luck. I told Katy that I had left it there and my name tag was in the office, so yes, someone stole my shirt. I walked out with 4x the amount I made the previous shift, so I wasn't too disappointed. I also got my $26.61 paycheck! Nothing really exciting happened, it was pretty dead on the non-smoking side.
My schedule sucks this week. I get shitty shifts because Walter doesn't like that I request off 'sooo much' when I only ask for a weekend a month to see Matt. Bullshit.
I called Matt when I got off, like I always do. I don't see a point in calling him when he's sleeping, it's not like he will remember anything we said and he's usually mean to me.
I hate extremely lazy people and stupid liars. One person decided to dip out without doing side-work tonight but said they did it. I got stuck with extra silverware, which wasn't that bad, but that's not the point. How hard is it to take out trash and wipe off your table? Not hard at all. Whatever. You're stupid.

the first
I'm trying to figure this out and I'm curious if this will fail like live journal mobile posting did.
I'm watching The Illusionist but it keeps saying 'can't read disc' on the same scene over and over.
I'm putting off getting ready for work as long as possible.
My house smells like an animal farm. I'm going to be an old cat lady, grrrreat!
