bad hair day, bad day...

man, today has been one BAD day. the morning wasn't so bad, despite the fact that i spent over fifty dollars at walgreens on toiletries (and forgot my $5 off cupon in the car). why do they always have to all run out at the same time??? the pms seemed to kick in midday, right about the time that the customers became difficult. the strawberries are nasty, so now i want a salad...where is there ice cream?...is there a bathroom in this place?... i yelled "jesus" in front of some customers when gerrardo put some ice in my shoe...and then the straw that broke the camel's back: "when i'm offering you money, don't turn it down. this is what a customer looks like, i don't know if you get many customers here..." yep, that was it, and i broke down and cried. right in front of stacey and the german man and his son who were fixing stace's computer. pathetic. ashley reminds me that this is why i'm getting an education. so i don't have to deal with old men who think they can be rude to me because i work behind a counter.
negative tension with trevor later tonight only made things worse...i think it's time for some mindless entertainment. or maybe i should start reading for summer school. yeah right.

saturday night was interesting. trevor and i "bartended" (read: filled cups with ice and made booze available) for a wedding party at aunt margie and uncle gene's in honor of meg's best friend. bumped into some girls i went to high school with; turns out one of them didn't even know meg and i were related...wow, i was a nobody in high school. good thing i turned out okay...another is getting married in maui...and another was going to call me tomorrow. it's monday, and fifty bucks says i don't hear from her until i bump into her again sometime, probably at a downtown bar...

quit the frisbee team. i'm not much of one for quitting, but i'm also not much of one for giving up my (very limited) free summer time for something that's not that fun. i'm just not into competition. when i played ultimate in college, people threw the disc to me because i was their friend. in the league, throwing the disc to me would put the team at risk. but i was quite the valuable player, seeing as i lack cajones (literally...i could have certainly used some figurative ones).

okay, that's enough bitching and moaning. time for some silver lining:
my apartment is coming along.
i have pretty flowers on two tables.
the brita water filter really does make my bad apartment water taste great.
i got to spend the evening cooking for myself and being alone.
i get to look forward to 3 new books and a bunch of body shop stuff coming in the mail soon.
it rained a little, so i don't have to feel guilty about not watering my garden today.
i think that should tide me over...till next time

kegger-schmegger

quite the weekend, had i. friday night trevor and i saw a late showing of episode III; thought it was pretty good...felt like it connected to the original three better than the second one (which i don't even really remember the plot of). worked saturday, then off to perryville for some boozing. did my first keg-stand (now that's an experience). i don't think i'd have made it through it without all of the wine i'd already had. needless to say, i had to grin and bear it through my hangover during mass, and wasn't completely fine until father's day dinner. not much else is too exciting these days. i'm trying to enjoy my last couple of school-free weeks before summer school kicks in. and trying to get this damn apartment in order. it's so hard to commit to unpacking when there are more interesting things to do...

winning young punks

so i made it through my first summer league ultimate game. i really wasn't so sure how i would fare, seeing as i haven't played ultimate since the stress-fractured leg four years ago. i didn't fall down or make a total arse of myself, so that's good, but i didn't actually touch the frisbee either (missed the one pass sent my way). i'm not terribly disappointed in myself, but i am wishing i were in better shape; which is what the whole frisbee thing is about. my team seems pretty cool. a couple of fellas i knew in a former life, and some i just "knew of" (story of my life in high school...knew of people, but wasn't really known myself). i was the only girl that showed up for the game, and it was looking like i was going to have to play the whole time to maintain the one-girl minimum; but the other team allowed us to use a couple of rookie guys to play in my place, which kept me from dying and throwing up the naked juice i chugged down right before the game started (BAD idea jeans).
so now i'm pooped to the max. i had a late junkish dinner, and i'm about to lie the old self down for a read and some sleepy time. tomorrow it's off to perryville with stacey to take her truck to the shop and to go swimming at the watershed. horray for summer.

searching for moss

i'm looking for meg moss...somehow we've become horribly out of touch. the email address i have for her keeps sending emails back (and i don't mean with replies), and i don't have any other contact info on her. she posted a comment on a previous post, but that's all i've heard from the lady in quite some time. so if anyone knows how i might reach her, please let me know. or if megan herself is reading this in the near future, i'm looking for ya.

estrangement

wow, i never thought i'd say this, but i think i'm just as addicted to high-speed internet as i am to tv. i had a 6-day hiatus from my internet during the big move, and it's been awful. i hate that i'm so obsessed with checking my email, my blogs, my online wedding planner (dork points: 2), etc.
so to catch up on what i've been doing in the last week, here's the play-by-play...
thursday: day off from work, began moving
friday: trevor comes to help move, rented team america
saturday: more moving, dinner with joel and ashley, rented the avaitor (good, but very long)
sunday: finishing moving, cleaning the old place, dinner with meg
monday: back to work, unpacking, dinner with elizabeth, chandle, and jerm
tuesday: work, star of india with ranch folks
wednesday: work, ultimate summer league draft party (first-round pick for women...thanks joe)
today: hanging out with aunt margie, more unpacking, hunter's ball game, dogsitting for erica and leah
and everyday laced with some sex and the city on dvd...i've got season 5 to watch tonight.
so that should have everyone up to speed on where i've been these days i've not been posting. of course, i'm not on a road trip like ellen, so nobody's too worried about my not posting!
anyhoo, i'd better give this doggie some attention before i become engulfed in the world of carrie and friends...

face-lift

just thought i'd check out a new template...try it on for size. the dots were getting on my nerves, and i'm hoping that's why no one posts comments (as opposed to the more likely reason, that i've gotten a tad boring)
