Happy

Well today was a rush. I actually was busy all the way till lunch. Then...well, I was just as busy after lunch too. Mostly typing stuff, copying some stuff, and staying on the phones and such. Oh! I did do one fax. I love faxing. To me it’s fun. And I could totally kick myself because I forgot to bring in my time sheet for the staffing place. I was in such a hurry /rolls eyes. I’ll have to try and get it to them tomorrow...or something. I dunno. Oh, and I also learned that they do casual Fridays. I wish someone would’ve told me that before I dressed up. But I suppose it can’t really be helped.

Yesterday, Mom had called and said that the pork chops that she’d planned to cook were bad, and that she didn’t know what to fix. She’d already fixed smothered potatoes and green beans, but she didn’t have any ideas for the main course. So, I offered to get some Poppy’s fried chicken for us. She liked that because it meant she didn’t have to cook anything last-minute! Whenever I request a 2-peice white meat over there, they give me a breast, a wing and a drum stick...doesn’t really make sense, but that’s me requesting a 2 piece and they’re giving me three. So, I ate the wing and leg and had the breast today at work. It was so good. Sometimes they just cook it so well.

There was a small lull at work around 2, and I took that time to check LJ and then sneak over to bri_chan’s deviant art page. She had some new stuff. Her Alice in Wonderland art is amazing. You can see her love for the characters showing through. And the picture of Sata and Brooklyn with their wing talons clasped /sigh so sweet...I’m still not quite sure what I think of the mansion maid...but still it’s very well done. I almost expected to see some Bambi art after her last post. Her ‘review’ of the movie only reinforces the want to buy the DVD too. And now that I’m making money, I can actually start getting stuff off of that enormous wish list of mine.

Oh also, I was reading over my Writer’s Digest during my lunch break. I have 3 of them all piled up that I haven’t been paying attention to for a while, and I figure since I’m stuck here anyway I might as well read them. I’ve been wanting to, I just never seemed to find the motivation to actually sit and read them. Anyway, I came across the whole writer’s digest book club offer, and I thought, “Hmm...that might actually be fun.” So I’ve decided to join. You get 3 books free for buying one for $19.98, and that isn’t a bad deal at all. And besides that, you don’t have to purchase anything afterwards...though it’s more than likely that I will be purchasing a few things /grin. I just never figured that I would join a book club. I mean, it’s one of those things you think about and say ‘yeah maybe someday’ or ‘that might be fun to do later’ but I’m actually gonna be able to do it now. I find it slightly thrilling...then I remind myself that I’m all excited about joining a book club, and I tell myself to get over it. I think I’ll wait till my second pay period though...I’m still not sure what my checks should look like, so I don’t want to risk spending too much on other stuff.

One thing’s for sure; if my next pay check is big, I will be paying my insurance in advance. I want to get that out of the way. I’ve always been the type; I want to pay my bills as early as possible so that I don’t have to worry about them till the next time I have to pay them. Then I can divide up the rest of my check into savings, checkings of the fun fund /wiggles eyebrows.

I remember the last time Dad and I went to the movies I told him, “When I get a good paying job, I’m gonna wait till I’ve paid my bills, then I’m gonna get a $50 gift card to AMC for myself! That way, if ever I want to go see a movie, I’ll have the ability to do so.” Now I’m kinda like, “Enh...is that really so important?” I know the answer is no, because it’s not really important. I don’t need to have a huge AMC gift card in order to survive and be sane. But it’s kinda like accomplishment thing...that’ll probably be something that I’ll be doing with my second pay check. So what does that leave us? So far the list is;

1. Join the Writer’s Digest book club.
2. Get $50 AMC gift card.

...And the rest can be tithed and saved for whatever may be coming down the road I suppose.

Gosh this entry turned out to be long. Probably because most of it was written up at work when there was nothing to do. I’ve tried to keep from bouncing around and yet still touch on all the subjects I wanted to talk about.

Oh, another thing that I wanted to mention. I’d really love it if I could find a place that teaches html. I see all sorts of things going on on web pages and I’d love to know what type of html the people are using and exactly why. I find it interesting...but it’s one of those things like the hobbie thing. I’ve always said that I’d love to take classes in wood work and carpentry just so that I could have those skills. I love being able to think up things that I could make with wood. Just the other day on Trading Spaces they wanted to frames some pictures and put them on the wall. Well, instead of measuring around the picture and building the frame, the carpenter measured the picture, got a piece of wood that was a little less than an inch bigger than the picture, and routed around the edge. Then, they just shellacked the picture onto the wood (which had been stained and varnished by then, of course) and you have your very own picture plaque instead that looks like a picture frame! Ingenious! I told my mom that I want to do that with my posters and such. I could even do it with my diplomas.../light bulb.

Reiko came over around 6 ish too. We had such a blast. We never would’ve had that much fun if Mom would’ve been home though. We tend to be loud and rowdy and more free when we know we’re alone. We teased each other like crazy, watched a bit of Gundam Wing and she read some fan fics while I jeered at the anime. It was fun. Oh, and she introduced me to Jamaican hard core music...yeah. The really crazy part is how much I liked it. It’s funny and it does have a good beat. We’ll see.

And I’ve basically been reading fan fics since. And that’s it. I’m gonna go ahead and go to bed. I can’t wait to just laze around tomorrow. Goodnight.
