seriously...we went there after the concert...we waited in line at the drive thru for 8 mins until someone took our order.(like not just in line..but like at the speaker...there was no one in front of us ..or behind us)..then we waited 13 mins at the window before we got our food ..then we bipped across to tims to get a coffee and doughnut on our way out of town ..and realized they shorted us 2 bacon double cheese burgers at BK even after all the waiting ....if it hadda been fries or something we woulda just said screw it ..but that was someones supper we're talking about here so we went all the way back and they wouldnt believe that they screwed up....so then we ended up finally getting our burgers and going on our merry way....needless to say it took an hour and a half just to get drive thru food and be on our way out of town..not only that the food wasnt that great even after we got it.....so anyway we get fed and thats all dandy and then we get just outside of harris and theres this car upside down in the ditch with its flashers on..so we pull over and make sure everyones okay ...they were....just shaken up a bit ..so we took them into our vehichle till the cops came which took forever.....so we didnt get home til 4 in the morning and the concert was over at 11:30 ....so yeah..it was a long day ....anyway ..moral of the story ...dont eat at burger king ever and always be nice to ppl who have just been in a car accident...you never know when you might need the kindness in return.

okay well 3 Days Grace wasnt the greatest (kinda crappy actually) but Velvet Revolver was FRICKEN KICK A** AWESOME!!!!. It was almost like a dream...I grew up on Guns 'N Roses so Ive been listening to Slash and Duff play for 15 years...so it was really cool to get to see them live. wow 15years that makes me sound really old. IM not that ancient...I just started real young. anyhoo it was so great....and I can't believe I was originally not gonna go. I wouldve been really kicking myself. another thing that made the event really neat was the fact that it was just me and my brother and mom and stepdad....which is kinda a feat in itself actually ...or miracle...one of the two...We havnt all been in the same place for anything since i was about 10. and for all of you who are wondering how long ago that was...11 years ago. So it was really fun to get to go as a family. yeah it was an all around great experience...my only regret is that I didnt take my camera..I wouldve been able to get the most excellent pictures. we had such a great veiw. anyway ...yeah ..im out...laters

actually its more the 40 mph wind pelting snowflakes right into my eyeballs like daggers. I need one of those face mask thingys and goggles in order so survive my walk to work....or a new car. But the face mask and goggles are more likely to occur then finding my car. I almost got hit by a truck today on the way to work ..it was kinda scary but at that moment i didnt really care....i was so disturbed by the amount of pain in my forehead that getting hit by that truck wouldve be a relief. anyhoo I then got to work to discover that the frigid air and nasty wind had wreaked havoc on my nose tissues and once I warmed up and my face thawed out my nose started bleeding...it was so agrivating. but I survived...the dizziness subsided once i had some sugar in me and as long as i didnt move to quickly. so yeah ..it wasnt all bad. I got to make cakes....yay ice cream cakes. but yeah i gotta go now. ttyl

Its been a long week...and thats all I could muster up. (hmmm that is) Yesterday was just one of those crappy, drain the life right out of you, days. It got better after I talked some stuff through with a good friend and had a good long cry. But up until that point I was wishing we had a bridge near by so I could go throw myself off it. Yes it was that bad. I don't have many of those kinda days anymore...but when I do ...man it just reminds me to appreciate the mediocre ones that much more....you know....the days that aren't really that great but they aren't terrible either. Yeah. Anyway ..I should probably get going...but Ill talk to you all again soon
Love and God bless!
ps...Reba turn on your phone!!!
PPS..Reba....go buy minutes for your phone...and then turn it on!

I dont even know anymore.....Its not a matter of whether or not I think I should quit....that is a definate. The question comes down to this....am I a hag to leave them stranded? Reebs knows what im talking about here..but for those of you who don't, I'll give you breifing on the current situation. My boss really sucks!...when i started two years ago it was peachy and he was a great guy to work for...but now ....hes grumpy and irratable and cranky ...and yeha you get the picture...not only that ..hes cheap ..so he wont hire new ppl and we are desperatly understaffed....seriously... my coworker has to go for emergency knee surgery and hes really cranky about that because "whose gonna cover her shifts?" cuz im already booked at my other job.....so yeah ..im thinking putting in my two weeks should be on the top of the priority list....Not to mention i make double at my other job plus get overtime and benefits. so i guess my only real problem is that I leave what coworkers are left completly hooped....and thatmakes me feel really guilty.....so anyone who cares to comment go right ahead...but i think im going to go ahead and put the notice in....I really have no idea why i bothered coming on here....meh...talk to yall later.
