Hey gang...
First off...
I know for some of us, we still have another 11+ hours to go before that day is here, some of us are already celebrating the day, etc, but the message is the same all around ^_^
Secondly, remember, this journal will no longer be updated after December 31, 2007 and everyone should have my new journal name. If you don't, just ask, and I'll give it to you.
Third, here's random crap for me to spout about just because I can and because I know you people love me anyways...
Ok, last night I had a weird ass dream...it was something dealing with our current water situation, me moving into a house and then me being compared to Serena Williams. *laughs* I'll try to recall as much as I can...it started off with me talking to this one couple - no I didn't know them - and they were saying how energy efficient the houses were and then talking about something else, but I'm not sure what that was. Then I was with Lin and John over at their house and Lin and I were outside talking about I have no idea what and this young woman comes over and starts talking to me, saying she thought it was me - obviously I was some sort of local celebrity of sorts - and she said I sounded somewhat like Serena Williams except my voice was deeper or some weird shit like that *lols* XD It was soooo fucked up I haven't the slightest idea...and no, I didn't have any cocoa, chocolate or any sort of sweets before bed. I ate dinner very early that evening and it was by way of Jason's Deli - my usual, Plain Jane potato and Strawberry Cheesecake but drinking nothing but water, so...
Ok...blame the water.
Yesterday, I had a bit of a crisis on my hands - or what I thought was a crisis until I actually thought through what actually needed to be done and it turned out not to be a crisis, but it was so late by the time I figured it out, I couldn't deal with it until this morning.
All right *sighs* This is what happened - I was supposed to go to my cousin's church and see their Christmas play; however, this was unknown since we weren't sure what was going to happen with J-bear since the grandparents were supposed to pick him up EARLY that day (pay attention to that; there will be relevance to this in a bit...) not to mention I didn't know whether I'd be keeping him or if her brother in law Ken would.
I ended up getting the squirt. My phone kept ringing, ringing, ringing after 8 something that morning; next thing I know, someone is knocking on my bedroom window, scaring the begeezus out of me almost - but I did not fall out of bed thank you :p - as I went and answered the door. It was Lin and J-bear. So, she told me that she'd given the grandmother my cell number and whenever they were on their way, they would call me and let me know. Fine. Bye bye Lin.
So, I sit J-bear down and let him play Dynasty Warrior 4 Xtreme Legends (which I hadn't even played since I'd bought it that night) while I go into the kitchen to fix something quick to eat since I hadn't eaten yet and I'm starting to get a hunger headache - I fix some toast with butter and polaner all-fruit black cherry jam and some Hershey's Special Dark Hot Cocoa; about maybe half and hour or so later, Sis calls and tells me she's grabbing gift cards and whatnot. I tell her I'm here with the baby, so she says she'll stop by after she's done to tell him bye.
She shows up maybe an hour later, and so when she comes inside, I tell J-bear to come and speak and he's thinking it's his grandparents and when he sees it's his aunt, he blatantly ignores her and goes back to playing the game. I tell him that's not nice and I immediately turn the game off. He has a fit and I tell him to calm down and be nice, so then we all go into the living room. (I'd closed the door to my room) Sis and I sit down and we talk for a bit while J-bear falls out in the floor, whining and immediately says he's hungry - which Lin told me she'd just fed him before dropping him off to me - I ignore him for the time being while sis and I talk about how we've noticed the change in what a lot of people think this holiday's all about and whatnot and then what holidays we could do WITHOUT as well. Like this is what our family's doing for one another - Lita's gift to everyone is feeding us all tomorrow; mine to Lin was paying her car taxes; and Sev's to me is paying my car insurance for a month. That's what the adults do. The only ones that truly get gifts now are the kids. Lita ended up getting all of Lin's kids toys although she should've gotten them clothes, but she said she could never get ahold of her dear sister to see what they needed. I got J-bear shoes and C3 a shirt and a reversible jacket and JT some games for his educational system. Sev was trying to help Lin with finding that system for J-bear, but then she thought about it when she saw the price of it as well as the cost of the games considering Lin's financial discrepancies right now and said she'd probably try and find another thing for J-bear to get into and whatnot, like golf or something like that, which sounds like a good idea. Then we got to talking about J-bear's tantrum's that he has and whatnot and she was telling me about something she saw on Dr. Phil where they showed that the kids usually reflect what they see at home and whatnot, which I understand that well enough, but for me I'm not just trying to let them cry it out and get it out of their system and calm down, then try and talk to them. Well, after sis left, I reheated the cocoa and split it amongst J-bear and myself and let him have my other slice of toast. Then, I spoke with him about having better mannerisms around people when they say hello to him despite whatever he may be doing at that moment and to always go and greet them then go back to whatever he was doing.
Time passes...9 o'clock - 10 o'clock - 11 o'clock - 12 o'clock - 1 o'clock. J-bear keeps asking me when his grandmother's coming and I tell him I have no idea; just whenever I get a phone call from her. Well, unfortunately, his mother ended up calling first around 2 o'clock and I told her about the predicament and she was hot! Well...yeah, sorta kinda. She was disappointed that J-bear had missed his part in the play for nothing, so she said she would stop by and pick him up after she'd called them. However, right after I got off the phone with her, I hear a "beep" sound which is the type of sound we always hear when the power's going out.
Yep, the damn power's out.
And it was that way from the time she was off the phone with me, till she came and got J-bear and probably while I was napping, because halfway through my nap I looked to see my light back on in my closet (I'd forgotten I had pulled on it trying to put my clothes away), so that was ok and then I turned to my tv and my VCR screen was blank and for the life of me, I couldn't fathom why I couldn't get it reset, so after pulling all the plugs out and resetting everything on my desk and looking everything over, I gave up for a bit and went back to sleep. When I woke up, I went and got dinner and watched some more PR eps and chatted for a bit before going to bed. However, in the middle of the night when I got up, I thought to myself that I probably needed batteries for the tv remote so I could turn the tv to Ch. 4.
Well, this morning I got up about 10ish, ready to get what little bit I needed to done when my phone started ringing. It was Ny; at first I was busy trying to get going and whatnot and when I got settled into the car, I answered it after the 3rd time she'd called me back. She was just needing a job reference b/c she was trying to get her old jobs back and whatnot. I said that was fine. After that, I proceeded to call Lin not knowing if she had to go to work or not considering I didn't see her car at her apartment. No answer. So then I called Lita at work, but then I digressed and called the house. She was there! :3 So, I asked if they needed anything for tomorrow and what time they wanted us over there. After she rattled off all the stuff we're having for dinner tomorrow, I cheered and she suggested I bring some soda for tomorrow.
While in Wal-Mart, I found something for Ny's housewarming party we need to give her hopefully in another month or so and I hope that they still have some more of these dish sets so I can get her another one since they were so cheap and hopefully get some silverware in addition to the phone I'm giving her since I no longer require a house phone, hahaha. (Just kidding! XD)
So, after picking up a set of dishes, some deodorant, some AA and AAA batteries, some oil, 3 things of soda, another box of cocoa mix, and whatnot, I ended up running into one of my old coworkers from Sears ^_^ It was so nice to see her! She had her kids with her, she was doing her Christmas Dinner Shopping. I told her to be careful and not get swallowed in the madness that was today. *chuckles*
I get home and I pop the AA batteries into the remote and I try it again. I curse at it for a moment after it doesn't work and I know the remote works fine b/c I'd just used it. I look at it closely...
Dumbass, turn the battery right side down thank you much.
It works. I now have my tv, vcr, ps2 and dvd working again. Yay! n_n I can once again pwn at SC 2, DW 3 and DW 4 XL!
And to all I wish a Merry Night!
P.S. And thank you to htmlgoodies, I figured out how to do this:
NAME/ALIAS/NICKNAME;
AGE;
GENDER;
I LIKE YOU; DO YOU LIKE ME? Y/N;
FAVORITE FOOD;
DREAM VACATION?;
AM I A NICE PERSON?;
IF WE RP'D TOGETHER, WHAT WAS YOUR FAVE CHARACTER I RP'D? YOUR LEAST FAVE?;
Is there any point? Not really. ^-^ Just something to take up empty head space. ;p
Now, when you reply, please answer those questions for me ok? :3
P.S. 2 - Begat from ankhutenshi who begat it from my imouto, atemu_girl who begat it from here, but I figured I'd just post it here for my own f-list.
