I'm at work right now ... the thing I hate about working in the tourist industry is that you don't have holidays off. Argh ... Whatever. I NEED the money anyway so it's okay. Hmmm ... I had the hardest time waking up this morning. Kayla actually slept while I was showering and fixing up her things for school. Usually she's awake by the time I get out of the shower but today I had to wake her up. So before I went to work I got me some coffee at Circle K. Hahaha ... Last night I went to my grandma's house as usual. We were making plans for when my relatives from California come on the 16th. The night they arrive we're gonna have a surprise party for my Uncle who's retiring from the navy and a joint surprise party for my cousin who just graduated high school. We're gonna order some Jamaican Grill and my Auntie and Grandma are gonna cook some other stuff too. Then the following Sunday we're gonna have an Around-the-Island thing. We're gonna rent a Trolley for the entire day and just go sightseeing and picnicking and the works, and Talofofo Falls probably too. Total damage: $100 per family and because I am my own family now I'm not including under my parents so I have to pay $100 too. Damn. I'm already broke now what more because of that. Aiyo. I'm gonna make sure I wrap a whole lot of "to-go" and make my money's worth. I'm so excited though because I love doing these things with my family. I told Jun about it last night. He gave me this bullshit that he doesn't like planning ahead. I was like, you need to know ahead of time so you can mentally prepare yourself. If I tell you the day before it'll come as a shock and you'll feel rushed and won't want to go. At least this way you're looking forward to it. Hahaha ... Whatever. He said don't make him promise anything. Ugh ... I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE his anti-socialness. People mistake me as a single mother 'cause he's NEVER around. Ugh ... We'll see if he goes. I doubt it. I know he'll wiggle his way out of it somehow. Last night I was also like, we've been together for so long I don't know why none of my good traits haven't rubbed off on you yet. Am I not motivation for you to better yourself? Are there ever any days when you think to yourself, gee, I miss my family and I want to spend time with Coleen and Kayla??? Ugh ... Irritating ... Anyway, I think my lady boss we'll be coming in soon so I should get off now. Tata!
Edit: Oh I also wanted to mention another thing about yesterday ... I also went to COST-U-LESS and I usually look at the register while the cashier rings things up but Kayla distracted me but I did notice that she rung up my Meiji chips twice so she voided one. Shit shit shit. I knew I should have stopped and checked my receipt AGAIN but I was in a hurry to get home and last night after my grandma's I decided to check it and I WAS RIGHT. They rung up the chimichangas (burritos) twice! That's an overcharge of $12.49. I'm so irritated. Ugh ... Why didn't I check? Why why why? Never again man ...
