It's done
Finished.I moved. Sorry y'all. I'm just tired of it here. This site will still be up for archives of course. But the comments will be turned off.If y'all want my new site, please do send me an e-mail at i.want.your.books.now (at) gmail (dot) com, k? I will ask y'all to atleast put down your blogger name or the blogger website so I feel a bit better for giving out my new blog address. Thankee!!It's just that time of the year I suppose, when you just feel change coming on to you and you are itching to get out of that old skin that you've had for so long. Au'vuar...blah, how the fuck do you say it in french?!Au Revoir
I did something SO FUN but I'll get to that in a bit.Yesterday after sleeping so peacefully in my own bed instead of an airmatress. My aunt and uncles both slept on two of the three air matresses mom and I had on hand. I got up early to take my uncle Paul to the airport. That's going to be the last time I'm gonna see him for 3 years. Oh well.After I got back from dropping Paul off at the airport, the rest of us went out for breakfast/lunch. They all had breakfast, I had lunch due to having an early morning. While we were waiting to have our order taken, somehow the convo got turned towards me and my lactose intolerance. I had to explain why I couldn't have a real breakfast meal. Everything in breakfast involves milk and/or eggs. Any of those will make me SICK to the stomach. I can't stand having an upset stomach over food. Ugh.I had to explain how it felt for me to be limited to certain diets now that I REALLY can't eat cheese on pizza or eat my favorite french toast with tons of maple syrup. I used to LOVE scrambled eggs and now it just makes me ill. Same with boiled eggs/hard eggs. Dammit. I hate it.After eating and heading back to the apartment so aunt Irma and uncle Dan could re-pack everything and get ready to go to the airport, I sat in my room, reading, like usual. Finally I was restless, I needed to move around so I announced I was gonna go shopping at Target with my 75 dollar gift certificate from mom for Christmas. After some debate, I agreed to wait and go with everyone to the airport and then shop with mom afterwards.Ay vey. The goal for shopping that day was to find me a wishbone charm necklace. It has a very important meaning to me and I don't want to explain it right now but I'll say one thing, I want one so I can remind myself of my wish that I wished for when pulling the wishbone after Thanksgiving. We never found one. Not the one I had in mind. Pooh.But mom did come away with 3 single plate settings that she was wanting for some time and she sent her favorite Coach purse away to be refurbished. We checked out Victoria's Secret and I stupidly bought me 3 pairs of panties that cost 30 bucks and I knew I'd never wear them. It turned out that the gift card that I got on Christmas day through the dice fight was worth 25 bucks. (Later I told Andrew that we would go to MOA (Mall of America) and exchange them for a bra and panties, he could help me pick, hehe!) By a stroke of luck, there was a Ben and Jerry's at the mall! YOW! Mom bought me a large cup of Strawberry-Kiwi Sorbet, MMMMM! My favorite. I was so happy to have it that I had a HUGE ice cream headache, YOW.After we satisfied our shopping lust/desires for the moment, we headed back home. My duty as usual was to take some bags and stop to get the mail and then drop the load off in the kitchen. I got a surprise in the mail. I got a letter from my dad, sort of. It did come in an envelope and included a card that reminded me of a 5 year old's birthday card along with a 300 dollar gift certificate to Target. My reaction..."Ohhhh...look at this card, humft....Hmm...I predict that this tiny envelope here is a gift certificate to Old Navy, like usual...*GASP!!* HOLY SHIT! What the hell?!!! MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! LOOK AT THIS! GAH! HOLY CRAP!"After an hour of getting used to having a 300 dollar gift certificate, I went grocery shopping and tried to find Andrew without getting him in trouble, but that didn't happen, shoot. Andrew had text messaged me earlier in the day to warn me that his boss would be working with him that day. Oh well.After getting home...I realized, I wanted to shop MORE. So off I went to Target and spent a lovely hour and a half of shopping for clothes, shoes, belts, purses, scarves, cd's, dvd's, everything!!! I frigging LOVE Target!!Here's what I got:* A zip-up hoodie in heather/red.* 4 different t-shirts (one says "Live Happily Forever and Ever" another says "MASH", my favorite show!)* 2 pairs of jeans, flare of course.* A pair of kakhi pants for work.* 2 different colored thermal long-john shirts, bright yellow and dark red.* An extra-long green scarf.* A packet of white undies, low-rise bikini.* A olive green car coat (which I'm gonna take back today, I need one size bigger)* A black metal punk belt with studs on them, gonna take back today also, need one size bigger. Damn hips.* A cool-ass green purse!* A wide v-neck grey long sleeve shirt.* A pair of silver pointy high heels that I've ALWAYS wanted, ohhh freaking yeah!* Madagascar soundtrack* O'Brother where art thou soundtrack* Elton John's Greatest Hits from 1970's to 2002* Pretty Woman Dvd (This was my FIRST R-rated movie that I ever watched when I was 8 years old, hehe!)and I think that's it...oh wait, batteries of course and a pair of knee-high socks to go with my high heels!the grand total?$298.20 bucks baby!!HAHA!! 25 items, WOO WOO!!Now what am I gonna do with the other $76.80 bucks now eh? Nahhhh, don't tell me! I'm gonna hold on to it and maybe buy me a polaroid camera, woooo!*snickers*I love shopping!What's left is my 75 dollar gift certificate to Urban Outfitters, 50 dollar gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, 30 dollars to be returned to Victoria's Secret and I'm good to go!Ok...time to get ready and have lunch and then stop at Target before going to work, WHEEEE!By the way...this might be one of my last posts here at this blog. I'm wanting to move. I'll keep y'all posted.
Hmmmm *stretches and yawns*
Well...for the first time in about 2 weeks, I'm up by 6 AM. My duty this early in the morning is to drive my uncle Paul to the airport in morning traffic. Yippeeeeee!! *with sarcasm, of course*Other than that, I'm missing my honey. I don't call him that in person because I HATE...really HATE pet names."Sugar buns!!!"*smack*My parents together give me PLENTY of pet names and I'm SICK of it. They use it for when they want something from me. So come on people..."Lovey Dovey" is not a proper nickname. Perhaps for the bedroom but in PUBLIC?! Ughhhhh.Thankfully the Honey hasn't called me any pet names yet and no worries I'll be telling him so pretty soon.I do need to tell him to be a bit more gentle with me. I may have wanted to be a football player once upon a time but I'm NOT wearing that much padding!! (YES, I seriously wanted to be a football player. I love contact sports, the more violent it is, the more I love it. GOOOOOOOO HOCKEY and FOOTBALLLLLL!!!)Oh...I do need to teach him how to kiss me without trying to swallow me whole! I am a small person compared to Andrew. I need to make him more aware of me other than my lips and my bottom, hehe! Other than all that, I do miss my Honey. I want to talk to him and just cuddle up with him and go to sleep. *sighs*I'll get a chance on Friday, we're both off that day and we made plans to spend the day together, YAY!Ok...wow...that is VERY sappy. I'm just trying to get back into the blogging mode but...eh.Later.
My Christmas
I didn't get a whole lot of stuff but I sure did have an alright time.I got...*A wonderful display of waterfalls from Dan along with a wonderful book called "The Erotic Poems" by Ovid, hehe! I had to hide that right away when I opened the present. I also got a mix CD of fabulous music varieties! * From Andrew, I got a book called "Breaking Trail: A Climbing Life" written by Arlene Blum. Andrew sure got MAJOR points for getting me a book on my favorite subjects, mountaineering and backpacking. Plus, I've read so many different mountaineering/backpacking/hiking books that I was afraid he would have gotten me one I had read already but SURPRISE! Definitely a new one for me, YAY!* From me to me, "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis. ALL 7 books in one. Holy cow, this is SOMETHING! I don't normally read fantasy but this one just brought me in and I am absolutely LOVING it, LOVING IT!!!* From my mom I got an ice scraper (how like my mother) that has a brush on the edge. Other than that I got 175 dollars worth of gift certificates to Barnes and Noble, Urban Outfitters and Target. * From my grandma, p.j.'s that I will never wear. 10 bucks that will be spent today on groceries.* From a game at our family christmas, a Victoria's Secret gift card. I still don't know how much is in the card but I intend to find out ASAP!The game went like this...everyone puts a gift that is worth 20 bucks or more in a pile. One by one, we all get a gift and open them. After opening the gifts, everyone gets passed around a set of dices, if they add up to 7 or come up as doubles, you get to trade your gift with anyone else you want in the whole game. The dice rolling goes on for half an hour. I was fighting my Aunt Barb and my Aunt Irma for the Victoria's Secret gift card, hehe! Luckly I got it at the end, THANK YOU!!!!Sadly through all this, I was just extremely bored, tired and...lonely. Believe it or not. I felt outsed. I ended up text messeaging back and forth with Andrew during the whole event. I was reading Narina through the whole event also. Sad. I eventually did play Cribbage and played pool downstairs with my uncles.I noticed something that I wasn't quite expecting but knew it would happen. All but one of my male cousins are all FAT!! They all drink too much. Man! Jordan, my oldest cousin's husband, is lucky to have a high metabolism so he's rail thin with muscle of course! My cousins, Brett (a month older than me), Adam (two years younger than me), Gabe (step cousin and a year younger than me) and Jake (step cousin and about 4 years or more younger than me), all are fat. The older three drank the whole time they were at the thingy. Jake was just plump because his mom is plump. Humft.I wish I hadn't gone but then again I wouldn't have gotten the VS gift card, hehe. Ya know...Andrew sent me a wonderful text that I had to go to the bathroom and clean my face...I had told him that I was upset that no one was really willing to talk to me or anything like that and his response:"Bah! Some times that happens to me to. Just remember that there is someone who wants to be with you here. (ME)"I am really adoring this man. Oh hell yes.Then the next day came. Today.I'm grumpy as hell. Yelled at my mom to get out of my room. I had just enough of people on my ass yesterday and I just wanted to be left alone. Just me and my books.I'm also not happy that I have to give up my frigging bed so my mom can visit with Uncle Dan, Aunt Irma and Uncle Paul. F-ing no way.I was even upset to even let my own mother use my digital camera. I flat out refused to let her use it. Told her to get her own. Fuck...scrooge.
