Slipping into madness

These are the current reasons I am slipping slowly into madness (in no particular order):
1. Nothing to do at work and I find myself just going back and forth from myspace and facebook
2. The evil co-worker...nuff said
3. The brother...nuff said
4. The hole that is now our kitchen
5. Payday isnt until Thursday
6. My ear is bleeding right now (just my ear piercing)
7. I have nothing to wear tomorrow

Glad to get those out in the open! Things have been a little crazy but okay. I got a case of the sleepies this weekend and went to bed around 7 pm on Friday night and woke up around 2:30 am when my parents were going to bed (yeah Im cool!) and then had to take another nap on Saturday. Glad that has passed! My mom and I went out to pick out all the new flooring we will be getting. Who knew it could be so complicated! My youngest cousin also had her first communion yesterday. I felt bad because the whole time I was staring at this lamp thing that i really wanted! I, of course, would have to add another couple of stories to my room so it could hang but it would be awesome.
This week will be spent trying to save my plants from dying that I just planted and dodging knives from the evil co-worker. Her aim is getting better!

History Lesson

Last night my brother, mom and I were sitting at the dining room table looking through a book I found while cleaning out the basement. Its a history book of Fremont, and has pictures of how Fremont looked between 1800-1920 (i think?) and its interesting to see how much the town has changed. I came to a page that showed the building of the railroad tracks in town. I made the comment that if I was around then I would have done away with all the railroad tracks because I LOATH trains and would be okay if they all were suddenly gone. Nothing is more frustrating that running late in the morning and hitting a train. Every morning its like I have to dodge two bullets because of the tracks I have to cross. Okay...thats not the point of this blog...just had to get that out!
My mom then asked: "Okay, if you could go back to that time right now, what would you get involved in?"
I quickly replied with real estate and got a high five from my mom. I totally would too. I would buy all the land that now Wal-Marts still on and be a millionaire! Of course I would have never seen that money but my children's-children times 5 would be the first "Hilton" children.
My brother took a minute but then answered: "I would get involved with computers." I almost had another "drink-coming-out-of-my-nose" moment. Might need to get him a history book because I'm pretty sure computers werent around in the 1800's. But if they were, Im sure Bill Gates would not be who he is today because my brother would have developed the Microsoft monopoly first!

Its been awhile since that has happened

Last night I brought home dinner so that we could eat real quick and get back to cleaning out the basement, be jealous! So we were sitting at the table eating and talking about the meat sellers that had came to the house earlier that evening. I guess two younger guys came up to the house while my dad, brother and Jasmine were outside and were trying to sell meat out of their truck. First: gross! Second: I guess as they were leaving they actually tried to hit JASMINE! I freaked! Then I started talking about what I would have done if I was there:

me: I would have pulled my 9 iron out of my purse and popped some caps!
brother: 9 iron? Isnt that a golf club?
me: No its not...it would be my 9 mm gun I carry.
brother: (laughing) A 9 iron is a golf club!
me: No its a 9 mm gun in gangsta talk!

My mom started laughing and then it all clicked for some reason that I had actually said a gold club while trying to be gangsta. Then it happened...the green tea I was drinking started coming out my nose! I know gross but it totally burned and was not fun! I seriously have not done that in awhile and glad I was among family instead of being in public. I would have expected that kind of a think to happen to me at the student center. My nose has since recovered and I will try to study up on my "gangsta" talk before next time I try to be tough!

HAPPY 1-YEAR!!

Yes...it has been one long and tiring year since I started working at my current job. Most of days were filled with pain and discomfort but I am hoping the worst is over. I have this summer to look forward to (aka the evil co-worker will be gone for 6-8 weeks) and the personal self -accomplishment of sticking it out for a full year. Not sure what is next but Im sure it will be fun for everyone.
Just a quick side note: i am still accepting presents and Im registered at Target!
