My new used car and hot pink loveliness.

Went to NC this weekend. Looked at a bunch of junk and a bunch of ass (donkeys). We had a good time although I could have used more sleep. We both seemed to not get much of that away from our own bed. Gunther stayed with Grandma and had a good time. She keeps her windows open when it's warm, so of course he just loves that, and the fact that she cuddles him a lot.

I have a new used car. It's a 1999 red Subaru Sport. It has AC and a CD player....yay! It's also a standard which I never noticed that they made Subarus to where you had to shift them. It doesn't bother me, though. I prefer the stick, lol. Time to see if I can find someone to buy the ol' 1987 shit brown Pontiac. If you know anyone that might be interested, let me know. It will go for cheap. Haven't landed on a price, yet.

My new hot pink computer came. It was actually delivered yesterday while we were gone and has been sitting on the porch ever since. Good to know that FedEx leaves packages on a porch of a trailer in a trailer park...nice and safe, yup. We were surprised that it was still there. Not to mention it had IBuyPower.com printed really big on the side of the box. If anyone looked that up they would know it was a damn computer right there for the taking. Anyways, it is super cute and super fast, and I love it. I am typing on my new keyboard right now, actually.

Got the taxes done. We actually get $200 back instead of having to pay. We would have had to pay $400-$500 if we hadn't gotten deductions. Scary stuff.

I don't want to go back to school next week...or work. I am boycotting both.

Russell's mom has to have a procedure done this week, so keep her in your thoughts.

Dairy Queen has new waffle bowls. I highly recommend them.

I want a miniature pony or donkey one of these days. I also want a pot belly pig. I wonder if Gunther would try to eat it.

It's time to mow the lawn again. I must get a fuel primer.

I am going to have a garden this year. Russell's mom gave me the idea to open bags of potting soil, put it in the sun, and plant what I want in those. I'm really excited about this. Having fresh vegetables is great. That also reminds me that we need to go buy new flowers to line our walkway since the ones we planted last year won't be coming back. Our lillies should be starting to come up soon as well. Yay for spring!

Sunburn mostly gone. Bit of peeling in between the boobies now. Russell likes the tan boobies...lol.

Going to see Premonition today with my Rustybunches. I hope it's good.

Can't stand thinking about going back to work on Thursday. I will not let the assholes there get to me anymore than they already have.

My new hot pink computer has been ordered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cell phone battery has gone to crap. Apparently the warranty for that is only 6 months. Assholes.

Cannot wait until this semester is over.

I don't think I will be doing nice things for people anymore.
It's nice to be left alone all day feeling like a piece of shit.
This damn cat won't stop meowing.
I locked him in the bathroom because he wouldn't let us sleep, so now I have to listen to him still because I am up and right beside the bathroom I locked him in.
I can't wait until this semester is over.
I can't believe I have to do a whole freaking packet of drug calculations.
Spring break cannot come soon enough.
I have to work 3 12 hour shifts in a row before I can even have my break.
I don't want to work on 10 west anymore, but I don't want to start over either.
I need to clean the bathrooms because I haven't done so in a month or more.
I hate snow. Why do I get snow on my weekend off?

Catheter Queen

Andrea is bitching that people never post, so here I am. And I AM busy thank you very much, lol.

Today was my second day on the peds floor. I had a two month old baby. He was so damn cute! He got mad at me when I had to pull the catheter out of his weiner, but it was all good. My instructor has now lovingly titled me the catheter queen. I've had to put a catheter in and take on out all in one weeks time. I have never done either, and she said it's been a long time since they've gotten to do something like that on peds, so she swears that God is preparing me for some kind of catheter problem, lol.

I started tanning the other day. First day went well. Second day....burn city. And what's funny is that it didn't show up until way later, so I thought I was ok. What's even funnier is that I'm only burnt in places you can't see. My arms and face are fine. Everywhere else hurts like a mofo. Craptastic. It's itchy, too, but hurts when I scratch it...I cannot possibly win in this situation.

Yesterday was so nice that we took Gunther out to play in the grass. He is too funny. It's cute. I will take pictures sometime of him in his harness playing in the grass.

I am off work this weekend, and I am muy excited. I love my weekends off. It makes the ones that I have to work my ass off worth it.

Ugh.

I feel like crap. I'm tired all the time, and I don't want to be. I think it might be because I'm out of shape...big time. As soon as these stupid girl scout cookies are gone, it's go time. I mean it. I'm tired of being uncomfortable in my own skin. I'm tired of not wearing 3/4 of my clothes because my arms are uncovered, or I feel like they are too revealing or tight. Do you know how long it has been since I have worn a sleeveless shirt in public? Once almost two years ago when I lost a lot of weight, and that was still uncomfortable because I was used to not wearing them. I am almost 23 years old. I should not be having this problem, and I do not want to look back when I'm older and wish I would have been thinner to enjoy life more. And I know it's not true, but I worry that my own husband thinks I'm disgusting because of it. I hate that feeling. I want to look good for him and me.

Ugh.

I'm really stressed right now about taxes and cars and school schedules and work and house problems and computer problems and argh! This is my day off. I should be relaxing and enjoying it.

What a rip off

We took Russell's car to get an inspection sticker on it, so I decided to take mine and get an estimate on getting a new muffler since mine has fallen off sometime somewhere. Russell had to get new break pads just to pass, and sometime he'll need new roaters (or however you spell that). They somehow managed to take 90 minutes to put freaking break pads on so we got charged $90 JUST for labor. They really know how to rip you off. OH, and it's going to cost me $200 just for a new muffler. What a bunch of crap. I hate Morgantown. Who knows when I'll get my new computer now.

So, Russell and I went for a nice walk around the trailer park yesterday. It was so nice, and it didn't feel like exercise at all because we just talked the whole time. It felt good to go outside and do something. It was a nice day other than the wind.

My sea monkeys are HUGE now! I've only had them for two weeks, and they are humongous! Gunther wants to eat them really bad. I have not seen the sea monkeys doing nasty things, yet. I'm hoping to never catch them doing the dirty.

I cut Russell's hair today. It looks really good.

Wal-Mart rents carpet cleaners now for $30/day. We're going to get one this spring for our big spring clean. We're going to move everything out of our computer room and clean it real good because it gets major nasty, and we're going to move furniture and clean all the carpets again. I'll wipe down the walls and move everything around and clean real good. I'm excited to get this done because it needs it bad. Maybe it wouldn't if I did regular cleanings more often.

I slept around 16 hours total yesterday and last night. Not straight, but still. That is way too much, and I am sleeping my life away. Something has to be wrong with me. All I ever want to do is sleep. I think it was more of a boredom thing last night, but it needs to stop. Sleep is taking over my life.

I've also started a new series obsession....Six Feet Under. Kind of a weird show for me to get into since death and dead people freak me out. But I like it. Which reminds me...I saw Dawson's Creek on a tv at work the other day, and it made me very sad. Damn you Dawson Leery and your show!
