SO let's see!
i got a job at cheers but they are still hiring people and are thus waiting until all such people are hired to begin training. so i won't be starting until... whenever. i desperately hope it is soon, however, because I NEED MONEY. today alone i put another 50 bucks on my credit card. i still maintain that i am good with money though - i really don't spend an overly extravagant amount and have solemnly vowed to myself to never make a late credit card payment or to let it get too high. so far, so good.
so i have the job thing accomplished. next is new birth control (tomorrow), getting my hair done (next week), getting a cell phone (after next month's visa payment is paid or i get the money from working or i convince my dad to let me borrow it and pay him back), and getting a savings account to start saving up to move out. i am so very much looking forward to moving out, but, sort of thankfully, it has become less dire in my mind recently. i guess i sort of calmed down on the obsessive/anxious front. must be the relative break from school in the last two weeks. so weird how i constantly adamantly maintain that school is really not difficult yet when i am not really very caught up in it, i am much more relaxed about virtually everything. stupid school.
as for aforementioned school, i think i'm doing pretty damn well. of course, i say that every semester about this time and am then sort of horribly let down at the end haha. but i think maybe this semester i may actually pull it off. but again, i pretty much say that every semester. haha. we'll see.
i really want to start writing down the events of my days, even if i just make it private, to look back at and remember. even the greatest days can go unremembered if you never write them down. i mean, just last friday, ry and bec and i had ice cream sundaes and went to the beach and played with another little girl in the sand but i can't even remember what we did before that. it was a good day. then i spent the rest of the weekend watching friends haha.
yesterday ry and bec and i ate lunch at uno's and then went to fort fun. becca is a little too small for fort fun though, because she doesn't really relish the idea of crawling in all the little places. she's more into good ole slides haha. after fort fun, becca sat on ry's lap and they DROVE (in the parking lot). it was cute, although i had to keep the motherly instincts in check to appreciate the cuteness. dude, she was like a freaking natural with the steering wheel. i mean, she wasn't actually steering but the way she placed her hands though looked like she's been driving forever haha. after that we picked flowers and then went to ry's house and played outside some more.
today we went to the children's museum in portsmouth. we went because rebecca saw the commercial on tv (which reminds me: she has started seeing ads for toys and has taken to say "i want thaaaaat" in a very awed voice and it kind of gives me the creeps because maybe i was unrealistically hoping she would be unaffected by the advertising world ha) ANYWAY she saw the commercial on tv and wanted to get inside the big bubble. it's just a big hoola hoop connected to some ropes and dipped in bubble solution and you stand in it. she was wayyyyy excited about it but when we there she was hardly interested haha and the thing didn't work anyway. oh well. we had fun even though most of the exhibits were too old for bec (all science-y stuff) and we missed the planetarium show. we got some lollipops and dinosaur and whale shaped bath gels and a pretty purple beaded bracelet that says "rebecca" in the gift shop. then we ate mcdonald's and laid around haha. becca took a walk around the neighborhood with her mema and we talked to mary some. then we left.
yesterday i bought a book at barnes and noble (ry and i went after bec had gone to sleep) and i finished it today. i can't decide how i feel about it. it kinda pissed me off, truthfully, because it was a sort of mystery with no answers. there's a website and really interesting stuff the book brings up, but overall, i'm still mad that the author never gave the answer. i mean, i guess that was the POINT, but still. stupid point, guy, i'm not into it. regardless, now that i have a job, i can buy books galore. joy.
my dad has pneumonia, which is lame. if he doesn't get better in a week, he has to go into the hospital. noooot awesome. :(.
now to read about houdini, shortwave, and paranormal activity, spend more time updating my list on thethingsiwant.com, and maybe watching friends. yippee! i think tomorrow we're gonna go to the beach. maybe shopping, i feel like going to the mall. i know we're going to see say anything in virginia beach tomorrow night. i'm so fucking excited about the weather, it's amazing. every time the weather gets warm i'm always surprised at how much better one feels when winter is over.
