a really depressing thing, you ask? that would be the fact that i couldn't go online for four days because of the stupid internet _not_ working. argh. i was so mad. >_< so i woke up a few days ago, tried to go online, tried to fix it for a half hour, and then i find out ((after all of that)), that it's not my computer-- all of our computers are down. ahhhhhhh! i gave up, and surrendered to my computer... alas, 'twas not fun.
just came back from mass. and oh, what a thrill that was. *rolls eyes* a mean usher was there and refused to be nice... at all. i don't understand it.
there's so much to say here. i just can't think of everything. the first thing that comes to mind is how i almost got in trouble at work the other day. michelle and i were scheduled to work from 9-4 one day this week. so, just as usual, we get everything we need to get done within the first half hour. that left us, oh 6 hours left of NOTHING. ahem. so we went behind the counter, sat down, and read. every time a customer came in though, we got up and helped them out. wellllll, wouldn't you know it, barb came strolling in two hours in, and she saw us being bums on the floor. gah! i felt so bad. you know that rush that goes through you when you break something valuable? that's what i felt. my heart just fell a million miles and hit the ground. o_O needless to say, i was freaked out that i would get in trouble with barb. it was odd though... she didn't say one thing to michelle or me. when we told rachel about it, she was just as shocked. i'm still praying that nothing comes out of what happened. as it happened, barb stayed _the whole day_ with us, and we actually worked almost the whole time. yeah. not fun. it was mostly all built on guilt. =\
beth, shawn, and i went to gurnee mills yesterday. ^_^ it was so much fun... we spent four long hours there, filled with walking, shopping, and more shopping. ever since i was little, i've been in love with sanrio, the store ((and all the hello kitty products))... but there's no sanrio store around my house, so the trip to that wonderful mall was just what i needed. i dragged beth and shawn along with me-- oh, and they were so happy. mwa hahahaha. i spent forever in there, making sure i didn't miss looking at anything... and i pretty much spent all of my money there, too: a big, beautiful hello kitty stuffed animal that looks like a maiden; a baby cinnamon ((an adorable bunny-looking creature)) purse that's also a stuffed animal; presents for mom, kathleen, amie, and ash; and a 'friends file' book. it was all definitely worth it. we went to forever 21, and shawn bought me this beautiful pink flowered shirt, a present because i have to go to the dentist AGAIN tomorrow. and finally, i bought a dark yellow rock with sprinkles of pink on it with leather cords... i think they all had as much fun as i did. poor shawn... he had to drive, and because he stayed up 'til 6 in the morning and then worked 'til noon that day, he was exhausted. he fell asleep at my house later on, and i had to wake him up five different times, because he kept going back to sleep. he's such a trooper.
whew. and that's it for now. i have to work soon... and then beth and i might stop in at peter's party tonight. i rented ghostworld, a movie lindsay recommended to me. i don't think she reads my lj much anymore, but i'll pop in at hers and let her know what i think of it.
