ass monkeys! all of them!
Why do people have to suck? I had this girl win an anime cel from me on ebay on June 22. I asked her to pay repeatedly, and she kept pushing back the payment date. Finally I threatened non paying bidder, and she paid me. I was nice, and left her a neutral feedback, and the bitch left me a negative! So, now that my negatives total 3, I made a web page explaining them.
Then, I have been having problems with my photo software since I upgraded to Windows XP. It worked fine in ME, but I just can't get it to work in XP. So, I emailed tech support, they told me what to do to fix the problem, and I did it. Only it didn't fix the problem. So I emailed them and told them that. They very rudely emailed me back and said that I probably did something wrong. I followed their instructions to the letter. They suggested I call their tech support (long distance). I said I don't think so.
The company is called Roxio. I got their stuff, because an older version of their software had come with something I had used on my computer, and I had been using it for years and it suited me just fine. But then I wanted more, so I looked into upgrading. And so I did. And now I am sorry I did. Damn them all! Ass monkeys!

good kitty news
Kirk said Tama seems to be doing better. He hasn't been going under the couch as much (where he sulks when he doesn't feel good) and tonight he actually sat in Kirk's lap. AWWWWWWWW!

*yawn*
I am so sleepy. I went school shopping with Shawn today. He got some new shoes, but he didn't buy them from me, because it's not cool to wear Payless shoes to school. And Austin was fun to play with today. He was so cute. But they just wore me out. I am turning into an old woman.
Tomorrow I go back to work... hooray! Just kidding. Work is not something I want to go back to. I really need to find something I enjoy. Shawn and I were talking on Saturday, and he said that although he would miss me, he wants me to move so that I can work on movies all the time. Awww, what a sweetie!
Tomorrow, Trisha's mom is having their dog neutered. Everyone send Fergus happy thoughts, because he is relatively old to have this procedure done...

Yay! I'm back!
I reformatted my hard drive, and this page was one of my favorites, which I didn't back up.... so... I was lost for a while. But the wonderful Jodi reminded me what the link was and so now I am back.
It seems people are having trouble emailing me. I apologize to anyone if they have mailed me and it has been returned. I don't know what's wrong.
I baby sat for the nephews last night. It wasn't too bad. Austin went to bed before his parents left, and Shawn was busy playing a new Xbox game.

stinky feet
I have stinky feet. This is a problem. I wear sandals to work, because I am supposed to wear what is in season or whatever. And the two pair of sandals that I rotate between seem to suck up all the bad smells and then put them on my feet. I do have this one pair that is not nearly as comfy, but I wear them anyway. So right now I am soaking my feet because they stink.
At work today, I had to help box up the 783 pairs of shoes that we are transferring out. It involved much heavy lifting. So my arms are a little sore right now.
My sister came over tonight. They came back from vacation last night, so I showed them my battle scars from when I was trying to feed their cat.
That's about all that's going on. I am off tomorrow and if I didn't have a dentist appointment, I could go to Lexington and see Trisha. But, my appointment is at 2, and I wouldn't even get to Lex until 4 or 5.... and thats just not worth it to me. I want quality time with my best friend dammit!!!

so tired
I don't know what the heck is wrong with me. I am soooooooo tired. My next day off is Tuesday, where I will sleep in as late as possible.
For those people that like Buffy: I am attending a convention in September where James Marsters will be a guest. Yes, I will get autographs if you ask nicely. But if he charges for them, I expect you to foot the bill (save for Deb, cause she'd have to get an international postal money order and that's just silly).
Let's see. What else has been going on this week. Not a whole lot. Just a lot of working. I am feeding my sister's cat while she is on vacation. The cat acts all lovey dovey when I come in, but then when I try to pet her, she bites me. So damn her.
Speaking of cats, I will post a picture of what Tama looks like now. We still don't know what's wrong with him.

no exercise today either
Well, I woke up today and felt so tired and sore still that I didn't exercise. Which was bad. I will have to get on the bike tonight so that I get some exercise in! I wonder what my next day off will be...

must.... say... no....
I am aching to munch right now. Just snack. But that would be bad! I did pretty good on eating today. I had a subway sandwhich for lunch. And for dinner, roast beef, potatoes and carrots. I had 2 cookies and 2 frozen fruit bars. I am going to try very hard not to eat any more today!
Trisha and I had a nice time today. We went to The Zone, where she rented an anime DVD. Then we went to Jack's store. He wasn't there, so I talked to Alisabeth a little bit. I miss working with her soooooooo much. Then Mary's daughter came in and said Jack was in Panera Bread, so I headed over there and talked to him for a bit. I miss working with him. I miss my team!! Now it's just me and Britt, and she won't be working in my store this week anymore. *sniff*
Oh, and to help out the new girls, I printed out little versions of the rack plan for them to carry around. I hope it helps!
I guess I am going to check out monster.com and see if anything was added that interests me.

in response to jodi's comment...
...which is WAAAYYYYYYYY down there somewhere: Dude, I was a vegetarian for my whole trip to LA! I was almost a vegan, but I ate sour cream and onion chips one day. It wasn't all that bad, but I really don't like vegetables.
This morning I slept until 11. Then I got up and ate a small breakfast. Trisha is in town today and I am supposed to see her. I am just awaiting her call. I don't think I am going to DDR today because my legs are still sore from yesterday. I'll make sure I get up early tomorrow and do it. It really kept me energized all day yesterday.

well I didn't do so good today
I did good all day. Even at work where I was tempted with Starburst. When I came home I ate soup and crackers. And then I had a fruit popsicle thing that was only worth one point. But then I ate a biggg brownie. But, I had like 14 points to spare before I started eating tonight. And I didn't eat all my lunch. So it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
First day back at work was okay. We were really slow, so I wasn't thrown into anything chaotic. I went and got a watch fixed by a former classmate. That was about it.

time to go back to work...
I soooooooooooo do not want to go to work today. I need to find another job. One that I actually enjoy.
Anyway, this morning I only did 250 calories on DDR. That is because my foot started to feel funny. It was like I sprained my heel or something. It's okay now, but at the time I took that as a sign that I needed to stop. I haven't decided if I will exercise any more when I get home from work. Probably not. I will be so tired.
I planned out my food for the day, and I have plenty of points to spare. So, when I come home I can have a snack! And I might add some fruit for when I go eat breakfast. Which I should do right now.

hot hot hot!
I am hot hot hot! I just did a 500 calorie workout on DDR. I didn't start weight watchers today... I'll do that tomorrow. Maybe typing everything up in my blog will help keep me on track! I also need to start some kind of toning regimen.

I need to lose weight
So, I have come to the conclusion that I need to lose weight. Shopping with my mom and aunt today, I was just so sad at all the cute clothes I couldn't wear because they didn't have any in my size. It's bad enough to be tall, but to be fat AND tall, well it's hell to find clothes. Plus, being around Greg and seeing how healthful he is compared to me, it just made me be disgusted with myself. So, tonight I went and did 300 calories on Dance Dance Revolution. If I could do that every day, that would be 2100 calories a week. I read it takes 3500 to burn a pound off. So, I need to work up to 500 calories a day. I could probably split it up, 250 and 250. But I am so tired when I get home from work. Plus, exercising actually energizes me, so it keeps me up at night.
I should also go back on weight watchers. I need my dad to go back on it with me. I know it sounds like a cop out, but it is really hard to say no to sweets when every cupboard I open, they are in there. When dad was on ww with me, he stopped bringing all the sweets into the house. Well, not ALL, but there were fewer.
I am still battling the rash that I got from being around Greg's cats for a week. It's so weird. Some cats don't prompt a reaction in me at all, and others... I break out all over. Oh well. Benadryl, benadryl, benadryl. On my arm and in my mouth. In pill form that is. I sure have been sleeping soundly at any rate.
Let's see. What else can I talk about? Well, despite the lack of cute clothes, I still managed to buy like 8 shirts and one skirt today. There was a really cute outfit at Lane Bryant, but it was three pieces, and that was just too much money for me to spend on an outfit. But it was purple. It was a hard decision. I am still tempted to go back and get it. I am also afraid to buy too many clothes beacuse what if I actually stay with my weight loss plan and lose weight? Then all these clothes will be too big! At any rate, this is turning into a long entry, so I'll stop it here.

I hate being an ebay bitch
But I have been dicked around too many times! This chick won an auction THREE weeks ago. She bid $40 on a cel that is worth at least twice that. She said she was going to pay via paypal. I hadn't received payment by Monday, so I emailed her and told her she had until Wednesday to pay me. As of this morning she hadn't paid me, so I filed a Non Paying Bidder Alert against her. I hate being mean.
In other news, I must be a threat to national security! At the Louisville airport, they made me run my shoes through the x-ray machine. Then, on my way home, at the Kansas City airport, I got randomly searched. AND my suitcase got randomly searched at LAX. My advice to women travelling: Do NOT wear an underwire bra unless you want a security worker patting down your boobs. Same with jeans... wear cotton everything! No metal!

I have returned
So I am home from LA. It was a nice, fun trip. Anime Expo was interesting, but not overly fun. I got to meet some cel dealers that have been selling to me for some time now. I got to see some cool anime. But I wasn't really interested in the guests, and I have pretty much bottomed out on buying anime merchandise. But it was still nice to go and see it. I don't know if I'll be going to Anime Weekend Atlanta, which Trisha will probably kill me if I don't. Or then again, maybe she and Nathan would enjoy taking that trip alone.... we shall see.

She's a little bit country... he's a little bit rock and roll
What a fucked up dream. I consistently have weird dreams, but last night really took the cake. I dreamed it was Thanksgiving and my whole family was over. Including Donny and Marie Osmond. Apparantly they were my cousins or something. Very bizarre.
