Hi, happy holidays. Not much going on here. I survived the holidays. Well, at least Christmas. Jewel was fucking atrocious. I have to be there tomorrow from 11-5 or something. Shirley was a pain in my ass, and Dawn wasn't that helpful either. We didn't have enough carts, you couldn't move, the lines were endless. In our glory days, this would have been typical. Now it is just bullshit. I offered all my cameras though...I think ;)
I didn't offer up a list to my family for what I want. It's kinda stupid now to do that. I ended up making money and buying what I wanted. I got an M necklace in all silver. I'm not sure if I'm happy with it. I feel like I'm cheating on my diamonds. Plus the chain is a bit of a pain, ha ha ha. Dammit, I had a million things to say. Oh yeah, I bought sims, the complete collection. My computer will be crashing before I can hit publish, i'm sure. I also bought Story to Story : The Official Autobiography of INXS Reading it slowly. Very interesting. For some random reason I have also taken up playing the origional Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) version of Zelda. Link is the better game, and years ago Dude almost passed it, but I never could. This is more my speed lol. Oh well. Naptime. The past 2 nights I have been at bff's house till about 2 am. We saw Mr. & Mrs. Smith the other night. Awesome lol. I totally understand why those 2 are together now lol. Ok well happy new year if I forget to type by then.
Those of you who really like my blog should consider bookmarking it if y0u haven't already. Bookmark the page, not just a particular entry cuz soon i'll be hitting my 300th entry and they erase the old ones.

happy happy happy
I'm creative today!!! I woke up and didn't want anything for breakfast, but found a thing of brownie fudge mix and wanted to make that. I was delayed cuz I'm stupid and everyone kept bothering my mommy. I need supervision when I work in the kitchen. I'm really 3 years old, ya know? Hell, I know 3 year olds that are more acomplished than I am.
Oh well I made brownies all by myself (meaning I harassed mom to death to help. She was so pissed.) :) I made a nice dark chocolatey mess all over my nice white top, too :D Oh and instead if just following directions, we added white chocolate/dark chololate mixed chips to the mix, should be interesting. Time to go cut them. I think they will be gooey.
Oh I failed to mention my mother looks like a palm tree :D
Creatively Excited,
Melissa

Ah, the games people play at Jewel
Yup, I'm back with another exciting edition of the adventures of 'the bad things that melissa does at jewel.' Today, for instance, I got zinged again for an extreme value buy giveaway. This was actually a big one. Russell Stover chocolates. B1G1F @ 15.99. Some asshole woman did the same damn thing that another asshole woman did to me. She had this cupon, and that raincheck, and this price inquery, bleh. I didn't say the extreme value. I had said it 150 times already, but she saw a high priced item that she wouldn't buy if I offered it to her, but if it's gonna be free....*smack, crash, bash, attack, KILL* This is like the billionth time this has happenned, but I have only been written up once before for it, yet, somehow, the Jewel gods were smiling on me. I only received a note to file. How do I manage to be this fucking lucky. I should have been fired lol. Someone is gonna look at my record one day and just go OH SHIT!!!!
Making Messes,
Melissa

title :D
SO I'm writing my final. It's a take home final and it's due by 11 pm tonight. I want to go to bff's so I have to finish this. It's quite strange to type it rather than to sit down for 2 hours and fill up 2 pages. This looks so short. Guhduhbuhduhduh!!!! I'm still stinky. This is like day 4 without a shower lol. The plumbers are workin on the house today so I should be alright. My hair is gross. I managed to cover up with lotion and deoderant. I acutally smell quite nice. The most dirty thing on me is my hair. Hm, this green is too bright. Too bad. I have 1 and 1/2 eyebrows :) I naired them lol. One came out great, the other is still too thick. I've been very hyper lately. Eating lots of sugar, running around the room, losing weight lol. Hmm, I did actually have something important to say. Oh I got $67 for reselling my books back today. I'll sell the spanish book back tomorrow. I must go finish my final. Then go eat sugar lol.

Four letter words
~Shit
~Fuck
~Crap
~Damn
~Rats
~SNOW!!!
Yes, I said snow! Snow is another one of those lousy four letter words that just shouldn't be said. Snow comes in the cold and it makes a snowy icy wet mess. It causes pipes to freeze, gas to go out, and everyone to get pissed off. I hate snow. It's pretty when its fresh and you go to bed and leave the drapes open so it's nice and bright in your room, but that is only temporary. Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind. Speakin of which, I wonder when the Munster HS choir concert is...HA IT'S THURS THE 15TH. I can go! No I can't! Yes, I can, wait, I'm not sure. Grrr I hate snow. So anyway, we are currently very cranky at the Falgier house. The water in our kitchen sink won't work and the water in our bathtub upstairs won't drain! It's a minor nightmare. We all smell. Supposedly a plumber will come and look at it tomorrow. Nana lost her gas because her meter is outside and its freezing and thawing and freezing and thawing so she was cold all night long. Dammit, she's gonna be staying here. Grrrr. I did get most of my christmas shopping done. bff has a present, Megan has a present, mom has a present. That's about it lol. Melissa got a present. I got a new coat last week and a new sweater. It's brown and it zipps up and has beautiful bold colors all over it. I have worn it for about a week straight with different color tops underneath lol. I was also very lucky while shopping for presents for ppl the other day. I found a pair of jeans that had blue decorations all over!!!!! Very happy Melissa. This is finals week at school. I only have to go 2 days. Wed and thurs. Technically I don't even have to go Wed. but I will. So things are stressful. My holiday tip for the next few weeks is instead of cussing just say SNOW! It kinda works like Smurf, but smurf isn't a four letter word :D

SWITCH - INXS NEW ALBUM REVIEW!!!!!!!!
INXS went through their whole rockstar show and said J.D. Fortune was "riot for our band INXS" Together the 6 of them came up with a FANTASTIC album in just 6 weeks. Here's my review.
1 - Devil's Party - This is a nice upbeat way to start the cd. This whole song is deserving of a music video. This could be their next single. JD sounds really good. The refrain is really kewl. "Dreams of yooouurrrsss ... dreams of aaaalllll..." is a great strong part and the saxophone is awesome. I like the way JD is playing around welcoming us to the party. I also appreciate the lyric "why don't we take a little less, then we can give a little more."
2 - Pretty Vegas - Well, if you are reading this review, you most likely know the song PV and I refuse to talk about it lol. Great song, wonderful video, I love when Jon just randomly does his little hoot or whatever sound that is lol. "The party's over and the road is long..." is a great part, but I kinda miss the 'yeah yeah yeah' that he was doing on the show. Ah well.
3 - Afterglow - I believe this song is written for Michael Hutchence. Such a great song. I love it. Again, deserving to be a single, and there is quite an obvious music video. This is a slower song, beautiful way to kinda take it down a notch. Perhaps there is a bit of a european feel to it? Indian? JD sings with such heart and is so sensitive. I think he can relate perfectly. He is living in the afterglow of MH. Beautiful and sensitive. Wonderful. I must admit that if this song did become a single, it could get lost on the radio.
4 - Hot Girls - This is quite the opposite of the previous song. It must be a statement. It's about the dancers at a strip club or something. I don't really care for this song content wise, but I have to admit the way JD annunciates 'biting it, biting it' and stuff, it's kinda hot. The sex sounds may not be suitable for children...or some adults lol. I don't want this on the radio.
5 - Perfect Strangers - Again a sex song, written by Gary Beers, the hot bass dude lol. I think he's adorable. I origionally heard this song and the first line made me think of JC Chasez's song "One Night Stand" but this song is much nicer in content and the refrain is wonderful musically. Plus the song lyrics have the bonus of being polite. "Won't you look in my eyes?" "Thank you for spending one night with me." I like this song. Hope it's a single.
6 - Remember Who's Your Man - Another slower song. Nice. Nothing spectacular. I listen to it. They could replace this with something else and I wouldn't care. Actually I would, I wanted Easy Easy, but you have to get the album online at msn or something to get the extra tracks, boo.
7 - Hungry - INXS has done this song over the past few years with other singers. It's a hard rocking track. JD can probably relate to this song a bit. Talks about leaving home. The first time he sings the refrain he does it lower. The second time gets more exciting. It's pretty kewl. Listen to it yourself to find out :D
8 - NEVER LET YOU GO - THIS IS THE BEST SONG ON HERE!!! Thanks to Jon Ferris, the hot drummer dude! If this song does not become a single over the next year and half, you know INXS is getting hate mail lol. It's a calypso type song. So nifty. You just sway to it and the words are so easy to memorize. I don't really have a video concept in mind, probably a sandy beach somehwere.
9 - Like It Or Not - Kirk wrote this. It's a very INXSy track. Starts off by talking about sex again, ug lol. Not my type of song. I like the rhythm of it all though. You can almost hear Michael Hutchence's voice within JDs voice. Very kewl. I don't really care for this song, but it could make a kewl video of INXS just rocking out. The message of the song is very INXS as well.
10 - Us - The cd is starting to wind down and this is a slower song that is kewl and respectful. I encourage you to look at the words to this song. Very wonderful. "try a little kindness because it shouldn't be that hard" I didn't care for this song when the 5 or so rockers were doing it with the band, but it's prettykewl now. The message of the song applies a lot to the band. It may be kind of a shot at the critics who said that RS was a bad idea, but it is also a shout out to the people that stood with them in their decision. Then again, this song probably has a bigger meaning than that, but I'm a literal person.
11 - God's Top 10 - Ok I can't listen to this and write so, hang on a few minutes...
Yeah it's a personal song written for Michael's daughter, Tiger Lily. Very personal. Very poetic. Most everyone likes this song, but a lot of people have a hard time with it because of how personal it is and they feel like they are intruding when they hear it. JD does a great job with it. "Sweet" Suzie McNeil also sings on the track. Beautiful song. I don't know what to do with it...should it go to radio? Probably not, should it be done live? I wouldn't think so. Then again, if INXS wants it on the album to share with the world...ya know?
Overall, this album has really made me a fan. I have even looked into the older albums of INXS with MH. Very nice. The guys, including JD, are in Australia now working and rehearsing for the almost completely sold out North American leg 1 Switched On tour.

american fucking idol
what the hell. i'm reading reports that AI has agreed to extend their contract with Fox for 4-6 more seasons. if you have been reading my blog enough, you know i am a reality tv freak, but this is seriously too much. we are rapidly approaching season 5 and I thought that should be their last. What more can possibly be done? You have Kelly, Carrie, and Fantasia! You have Clay, Bo, and ,if you must, Ruben. What else can you possibly do?
INXS had it all brilliantly done. If Idol doesnt' follow suit, there's no point. I'll probably watch it though. Simon Cowell will be there. Why not.
Speaking of INXS, happy Switch day! The album is out! I'll probably go to Target to get it. I'm reading all kinds of incredible things. Tim Ferris and JD were via Satellite somewhere, but they were on a Fox station and Pres. Bush was getting on or off an airplane so they had to show 2 hours of that, so the INXS interview was short. When the reporter apologized to them about the Pres. being in town, Tim said "My condolences" I LOVE INXS!!!

OMFG!!!!
"What a day this has been,
What a rare mood I'm in,
Why it's almost like being in love!"
It's been a day of complete stress that has, for the moment, ended in sheer bliss. It will probably end in complete freakin' stress and tears and a complete screaming match!!! Today I had a group presentation for spanish class and of course that meant getting all my materials a few hours before lol. I got up early, ha! I was ready to go quickly too, ha ha!! The previous 2 statements are both complete lies, ha ha ha :D I don't even care anymore about the stupid disaster and all the stress because when I got home, my cd from eBay had arrived!!!! It's Lara Fabian's 2nd english album and it only came out for a few weeks last year. I had to order it from Canada and sent them an international money order, yet then mailed me the cd from Tonawanda, NY where Tommy lives. WTF!!!
Hopefully the rest of the evening will go something like this, dinner, get rid of nana, do dishes all night long, go to bed, maybe lol. Tomorrow I work at Jewel 3-7 on the new system and try to not fuck anything up. I'm srue I will though. I get killed over everything.
Dude say dinner in 5 minutes. Good thing the song I"m listening to is only 3:11 :D

Craig Ferguson and Clay Aiken for president!!!!
Hello everyone!!! Last night I was watching tv but it was boring so I shut it off and attempted to sleep. Well sleep wasn't my friend so I turned the tv back on because it was time for Craig Ferguson to start. I had missed a few minutes of his opening remarks, but he definately caught my ear with his little bit about running for President if he could. It was awesome. He said he would need someone to get him a lot of votes to be his running mate - CLAY AIKEN :) :) :) :) :) :) I think I woke the whole house up screaming lol. I was so busy being excited I forgot to listen to the joke he made, but it was most likely something perverted because the audience kinda oooed and aaahhhed over it like "ooo no you didn't" and his remark was "well, I will need a good sex scandal" or something to that effect :) He said they would run on a 3 point platform. 1 - Send Paris Hilton back to the Paris Hilton she came from! 2 - Put 50 Cent on the dollar bill to confuse the hell out of international tourists! 3 - Make it possible that a law could be passed so that (I can't remember what he really said) everyone could get married to whomever they want and the governer of California could marry the governer of New Jersey. :D

"Ah, a wize guy, huh?"
So work today went well. Not much to report. The extreme value buy is toothpaste, and I think the customers are really sick of this and retaliating with humor. Here's a few of the quotes from the past 2 days.
Customer - "I don't use toothpaste."
Different customer - I just bought some toothpaste.
Me - Well it's on sale at this price for the rest of the month so if you need more later, it will still be on sale.
Customer - I have 3 teeth, toothpaste lasts a long time.
AND THE HUMOR AWARD GOES TO ...
"My wife just left me and took the preferred card."
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
I almost asked if he was planning on fighting for custody :P

Oh boy
I really have nothing to say. Too distracted by music to blog. We are having a few terrible thunderstorms passing through the Chicago area. I put on headphones and blasted disney music from the millennium celebration. Epcott: Tapestry of Dreams Very loud and drowns out the thunder and lightning, though I felt it through the floor.
Today at work I had a decent day. Learned something new again. Yesterday I spent an hour at Dyer jewel learning the new system that is being installed in munster and highland and crown ponit. We were there for an hour, and spent 50 minutes going through the lecture and then got thrown on live customers for 10 minutes, holy fucking shit.
Today while working I saw a girl I went to school with. Last time I really had a coversation with her it went something similar to "...and nobody was talking to you anyway." she said that to me. Now I am friendly with her mother cuz she shops in my line, and we have always known each other. Her mother sent her over to me and she was really friendly, overly fucking friendly. I wanted to knock her upside the head.
Better to go to bed now.

me all upset
nutzo world. i was so tired last night i just collapsed on my bed. woke up at 11 this morning lol. while attempting to eat a bowl of clusters, my cat came into the living room, got in the vomiting position, and gave 2 warning cries...that's something that has never happenned before, I knew this would be bad. It was an Oliver tsunami!!!!! He flooded about 10% of the living room! Puddles, people, puddles!!! Apparently, Cali did a minor river in mom and dad's room and the family room downstairs. That was gross. Threw some paper towels over it and finished eating, then made mom clean it lol. Dad got the other stuff.
Then a few minutes later, while I was happily eating, mom was like "would you check my email to see if I got anything since you won't be home tonight to do it?" I was like yeah. I continued eating. She's like "I mean now." I go "I"M EATING!!!" But I was totally frustrated withher and I got up and started the computer. Came back down 30 seconds later and there is my mother in the dining room digging in the china cabinet for vodka! I totally fucking caught her and she totally knew it and acted like I was out of MY mind!!! She poured some in something, I didn't bother to look at what. She all like "I was looking for your little corncob man you made. I thought it would be in here." I screamed at her. She just kept sticking to her story. I was not intrested in going along with her story. I wish she would just die!!!!
Tonight I have to work 3-11 for someone. I'm nervous about it because I don't know what is going to happen. I hope nothing else bad happens. People still haven't spoken to us about it. I now officially know that they know, and nobody will talk. It's so obnoxious. I had a dream that Shirley came to me and started to talk about it but then everyone started to come up so she ran away. It was actually a semi comforting dream. However, in reality Shirley ain't that nice. I was so totally good yesterday and well behaved. Offered all my extreme value buys. She put on her nice face for the customers and played with the little kids. My register was gross with chicken blood, so I was cleaning and I didn't see the old man that was looking at me. He decided to go on self checkout. Shirley was immediately displeased. "Melissa, why don't you blah blah blha blha ~~~~~~~~." I began listening and then just turned my back and cleaned some more. Fuck her. Yeah, Shirley, ok, fine, wahtever.
Ok well the cats are screaming again, I'm gonna go shower so I don't have to deal with it.

RAPE
This morning I worked at Jewel in Highland, IN where I have been working for the past 2 years. I have been opening on Sundays at 6am for most of that time period. This morning there were 2 guys who let me in the building, which is semi unusual. One guy introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Scott with security. If you need anything, call me." I must have given him the most horrible look cuz what was going through my head was "get out of the way, I have things to do" lol.
Well I discovered through the grapevine why Scott with security was joining us. It turns out that one of the nicest girls in our store was raped. She worked as a facer stocking the shelves. She was attacked last Saturday evening in the employee breakroom. She was in the woman's bathroom and a new dude from Osco came in and raped her.
Now, I feel really bad for this girl, however, I must express my discontent that I had to hear this through the grapevine and when this person told me the story, she told me to keep it hush. I think there should be a notice mailed to all employees. Maybe there was and I didn't pick up my paycheck again hehe. This is just ridiculous.
At any rate, everyone use the buddy system and be mindful of what you are doing. I made this entry purple because the purple ribbon campaign is about rape awareness. There is also RAINN if anyone cares to look into that. I hope this poor girl gets better. I hope people talk about this.

Game 1
Me watching...kinda...World Series Game 1. Go Sox, but I'm still a Cubs fan. I worked 8 fucking hours at Jewel today and I was chatting to one of my customers who bought a Sox cake. She said she was a cubs fan as well and I high fived her, and the female customer on the register behind me was also a cubs fan so we all had a little chat because some person that other lady behind me knew was a broker so they got box seats to tonights game and everyone was impressed. Shirley was trying to get in on the conversation but we all shut her out. It was my own personal satisfaction :) I offered most of my customers extreme value buys today. Dude came in and surprised me as well. I was a pretty good girl and most everything went well.
Yay, go Chicago, we won game 1. Josh Groban did a great job with the National Anthem. I wonder who else will be doing it?
Grrr to my mother...you think you are so fucking perfect, but you are looking at the past through rose colored glasses. Nothing was ever good, shut up!
Gonna go listen to rockstar inxs and whitney houston.

Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad JEWEL!!!!!
Ok, ok, ok, I admit it. I'm an ass!
That being said, I had a baaaaad week at Jewel. My fault almost entirely. I refuse to take full fault though. If we did't have so many damn things to do or remember then we wouldn't have to do them or remember them!!!! And there is about 16 rules for everything you have to do and remember, so how can you remember and do it all, and then be friendly?????
On Friday I got 2 write ups at the same time lol. Let me tell you why. See I worked 19 damn hours this week and 3 of those shifts was an opening 6am shift. It's enough to leave you a little absent minded. Thursday I had a lady come around...well I don't know exactly, but dammit I bet it was too early to sell liquor. However, that may have been overlooked due to the fact that the beer that she bought 3 cases of was not scanning properly. I went to give her a scan price garuntee and she was shocked, and we chatted and she was happy and she walked out the door. As she was walking out that door that crazy Thursday morning, I thought to myself, 'hmmm I bet I wasn't supposed to do that.' However, it was a little done by then.
So Friday comes and I open again and it's with Judy and we're all happy. Internally, I'm having a stroke waiting for someone to tell me that I'm fired for the beer thingy. I have 3 ppl in my line and everything is going nutz and they are all talking to me and there is chaos happening behind them and I manage to not tell some evil older lady about the stupid ass extreme value buy, which at that time was a 6.99 2lb bag of candy. Guess what, we have a new policy at jewel that now says if we don't mention the extreme value buy, you get it free. So she got a bag of candy free.
By the end of my shift that day, I was about ready to jump off a cliff. Went up to Veronica's office with Shirley. I was shaking rather badly. I said 'Ok here I am, the worst person in the world.' They were like no you aren't, you have just made some mistakes the past few days. I got a lecture and I had to sign a billion things and I was half tempted to ask if they wanted me to sign in blood rather than ink, but I kept my mouth shut. Veronica said 'don't worry you aren't the worst person in the world, that title goes to Shirley.'
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't decide if she was half joking or half kidding :D
Saturday I worked and I had 4 hours. How much could I possibly fuck up in 4 hours? I had a good day and everyone congradulated me. As a matter of fact, most of the other ppl in the bake shop and deli and stuff were very nice to me. Now I wonder if anyone in Osco will ever speak to me again. I could have cost us our liquor licence. I apologized to the osco manager today. He was nice about it. Then later we got robbed. Some black dude took off with 2 or 3 bottles of wine on a Sunday...nutzness!!!

Sunday
It's been a typical Sunday...or maybe not...
My father went to Munster Jewel today and he said in an hour of shopping he saw 4 bitches...3 of which, were men :D He was complaining about their complianing, and the funniest thing was said.
Mom - "Now Donald, I'm sure they had all been to church today already."
Dude - "Is there a Church of the Bitch in Munster now or something?"
I immediately declaired this blogworthy :D
I had been up early this morning to work and I have been tired all day. I guess I want a nap cuz I am sleepy and cranky. But the final straw was when I was sent out to go to sterks to buy bread and other random stuff. I paid and everything EXCEPT THE BREAD was bagged. The woman handed me my change, the one bag, and the loaf of bread. I was having a fit! I was mentally screaming at this stupid woman and I dropped my coins all over the floor. I almost took that loaf of bread and smashed it over her stupid head! Who the hell doesn't bag bread???? Now I have one hand full of money, one hand full of bag, and what the hell do I do with the bread? I had to carry it! Plus I had to get the keys out! *stares*

Dude - "Is there a Church of the Bitch in Munster now or something?"
I immediately declaired this blogworthy :D
I had been up early this morning to work and I have been tired all day. I guess I want a nap cuz I am sleepy and cranky. But the final straw was when I was sent out to go to sterks to buy bread and other random stuff. I paid and everything EXCEPT THE BREAD was bagged. The woman handed me my change, the one bag, and the loaf of bread. I was having a fit! I was mentally screaming at this stupid woman and I dropped my coins all over the floor. I almost took that loaf of bread and smashed it over her stupid head! Who the hell doesn't bag bread???? Now I have one hand full of money, one hand full of bag, and what the hell do I do with the bread? I had to carry it! Plus I had to get the keys out! *stares*
Mumbles & Grumbles,

Weekend update with Melissa
Aloha
Went to Kentucky with bff. It was loverly. I must have been in pink mode. I bought new shoes. They are pink and they actually have laces lol. The last 2 or 3 years I have been wearing blue shoes that just slip on over your foot. Time for a change. I wanted another pair in a different color but that was the only size 3 that would fit, ha ha ha ha ha ha. We were also in blue mode cuz we made about 40 cupcakes with blue frosting and lots of crazy sprinkles :D Went to dinner at TGI Fridays and I had my yummy chicken and potatoes. Ate like a pig! I never finish that meal - ate every damn crumb off it :) I left at 96 lbs and came back at 98. Last night I worked out and now I'm back down to 96. We did fun things like gon sit on the boat and watch crazy movies. bff got me a new Stitch and made a pic of Down With Love Stitch :D
Aaahh lots to do and no time to blog, maybe later.
Just so ya'll know, I may be making changes to this blog, so if you come here one day after it's been a while, and things are different colors and everything is nutz, don't panic :D

oh hell no
ok so spanish class was fucking retarded. we did a lot, but she confused me so much and i'm so pissed right now. she was writing on the board, then gave an in class assignment, erased the part of the board i needed, so i'm scrambling to get the notes and work on the assignment, run out of time and then she starts doing an oral activity. she calls on me! i have no clue where we are or what the fuck she wants. She asked me if I had something and I was like ' Si, tengo.' :) I felt like all time had stopped and she was angry at me. How fucking rude, there are other people who have no clue what the hell is going on and she's so patient to them, why the hell is she rude to me? I told her in front of the whole class I was copying from the board and had no clue. Then once I knew where we were, I answered incorrectly, of course, so fuck it, I quit. I'm so mad I walked out of class and whipped my sprite bottle at the tree. Ppl jumped out of the way. It was great. I'm leaving now, hopefully I don't assasinate bff and drive the car at 90 mph into a ditch or something.
Enraged and irrationally pissed,
Melissa

Oh what a beautiful mornin'...
Well, I'm supposed to be in class. It was cancelled. This morning I was going to be late. I just decided to be late, there was no way around it anyway. I think I will go home and back. For those of you who couldn't read my light pink entry, my birthday is Oct 1st and tonight through Sunday I will be in Kentucky with bff.
This morning I spilled a whole blue vat (one full liter with a few sipz taken) onto the floor of my school building right in front of the elevator. I better go home now before someone makes me clean it up. I don't think we are taking a computer to KY, so if you send me mail or something, I may not get to it till Sunday.

Yesterday's post
Sorry yesterday was so crazy. I'm very pink today, hard to read I know. I will now tell you what I meant about all that stuff I wrote last time.
Friday bff and I went up to Chicago. First we went to the museum of Science and Industry. I haven't been there since I was in elementary school, so I was totally excited and thrilled. I have no clue why, because it now sucks. It's a big building, but there is hardly anything in it. One thing bff and I looked at was the exhibit on the brain. There was a section that talked about learning disorders and one guy was saying how he has a deficit attention disorder. I really couldn't tell ya what he said cuz I was half listening and half more interested in playing with the strings that were keeping him in place, lmao. I guess I have an attention disorder :) I bet a lot of you could figure that out on your own just by reading my blog once in a while.
After a few boring hours at the museum, we headed off to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory!!!! bff had been dying for sweets and suggested that we don't eat much all day and then just eat crap for dinner. She just wanted cheesecake! Goofball :) I was being rational and made us eat food lol. Nutzness!!! We went slightly overboard I would say, seeeee I'm an idiot. While driving to dinner I got hungry and ate cheese and crackers that I kept in the car. When we ordered appetizers, we ordered the macaroni and cheese baked balls...wait that didn't sound so good, the baked macaroni and cheese balls, there that's better. ..not really :) AT ANY RATE, the food I ordered was 4 cheese angel hair pasta. I was sooooo full of cheese and stuff by the time I got my food, I ate 4 bites and I was done. It was delicious, but I'm a moron. Ok so I told bff to get me a box if the waitress came back , and she did. I went to go make room for desert. I have to say I was most impressed with the bathrooms!!! *note* I do not have an eating disorder. *end note* OK, the bathrooms were awesome. Dark, like the rest of the place, but you walk in and you see a bench and 3 doors. You go into a door and you have your own private bathroom suite lol. A toliet, a fancy sink, there is a mosiac on the walls...its groovy!!! There was good music playing as well. I wanna sign up for a job being a towel girl there or something lol.
Upon leaving full of an insane amount of cheese, pasta, and peanut butter with fudge cheesecake, and a box for all the food I wasted, we went to the disney store. No major purchases, bff got a stitch, a cute fluffy one, but I was mean and didn't get one, so she had to pay more ha ha ha ha :) I wanted to buy a winter stitch but he looked a pissed off bunny lol.
After the Disney store, we walked around town cuz the weather was freakin gorgeous! The air smelled like horse poop though.
Went home, played mario baseball, blah blah blah lol. Saturday evening we went to see Corpse Bride....eh....ok, not my fave, not my least fave...eh...
Sunday I didnt' do anything but work.
YESTERDAY I WENT TO WORK AND THEN WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED UP INFORMATION ON HOW TO BUILD A STITCH BOMB AND BLOW UP JEWEL. Shit, I hope no cops read my blog :D Generally work went well, then Shirley showed up. Even at that she was in a good mood. I fixed that real quick. I didn't offer someone the fucking extreme value buy. I mean, who really gives a rats ass about power bars? I must admit 79 cents is a very extreme value, but bite me. Shirley bitched at me, but I was totally hyper and didn't care. I stayed out of her way. On my way out the door she reminded me to look upstairs at some important postings about the new things Secret Shoppers look out for.
"...blah blah blah....say hi, do you have your jewel card, have you seen the extreme value buy, how's the weather, thank you for shopping jewel...blah blah blha" HOW'S THE WEATHER???? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE???? I went upstairs to get my jacket, and I could overhear Nancy and Veronica talking. "hey, at the next meeting, can you get some sort of clairification on what exactly we lost 2 pts for regarding this 'non business conversation' thing?" "sorry, that's a closed door subject" *melissa stares blankly at them, then reads the posting* Yes apparently when secret shoppers come in now, they are expecting us to be friendly and talk to them about random things...like asking how the weather is....WHYTHEFUCKSHOULDIHAVETOTALKTOYOUIT'SBADENOUGHIDON'T
LIKEDOINGTHEEXTREMEVALUEBUYANDNOWYOUAREGOINGTOPUNISH
MEFORNOTTALKINGTOYOUWHATTHEFUCKINGHELLAREUON??????
Excuse me :) I mean can't we all just get along? Don't you just want to go to the store and do what you gotta and get out of there???? I hope Wal Mart buys Jewel.
In less annoying news:
LESS THAN 3 MONTHS TILL XMAS!!!
MY BDAY IS OCT 1ST AND I'M GOING TO KY!!!
I dreampt 2 dreams the other night

The math that *should* be taught!
What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:If:A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T2+21+12+12! +19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the BullshiT and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Indian Day
Today's theme is India apparently. Today on Regis and Kelly they kept showing a promo for their 3rd annual Relly awards that are tomorrow and they kept playing the music from Moulin Rouge at the end where the high pitched singing thing goes on. Then I went to my soc class where we got yelled at for havin bad test results, and came out of there and discovered it was Indian culture day on campus, and my neighbor Surehka was in charge of it. Quite a crowd paid attention. They really outdid themselves for the 5 minutes I caught of it. There was dancing, music, costumes, food LOTS OF FOOD AND SO MANY PPL IN LINE YOU WOULD THINK A HURRICANE HIT US, no joke, it was free. Now I want to listen to Moulin Rouge and Tarzan, dunno why :) Had Lion King on earlier.
Tomorrow bff and I are going to Musuem of Science and Industry :) So freakin' happy!!!!! Lots to see, I have to get up at 7am lol but kt doesn't wanna leave till noon and they are only open till 4 so grrrr.

Maggie and Jason D.
So last night was nutz, waaaay too much reality tv on, my head almost exploded ;D Probably won't be buying LaToya's CD right away like I was planning. Just doesn't fit into my schedule. Maybe on pure faith that it will be great I'll run to Circuit City to get it. Anyway, CBS was a huge winner last night. Maggie won Big Brother 6, bleh, I wanted Ivette. Jason won the right to be the new member on INXS. Jason is JD Fortune, btw. I was really hoping MiG and JD would be the final 2 but holy crap, he sang badly. I feel bad for that whole performance. I wanted Marty to sing Trees, but oh well. I figured JD would win. Not a bad thing. I might show a little interest. See, this is where the reality tv show should start - the story of how JD will work with the band lol. Oh well.
I had a lot to say, but I think I will sign off. I am finally preparing to update the damn story blogg, relax. This seems like an appropriate time, now that BB6 has ended....

THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!
People, this is a huuuuge day :) First off I have a spanish test in less than an hour, and upon doing some homework for it last night, I have decided I know nothing :) I swear our teacher should just make this class an independant study, cuz I swear I know nothing. I just said that twice, see, that is how stupid I am. I am also starving, so I'm just going to fail and die. BUT IT IS ALL OK BECAUSE WE HAVE MAJOR MUSIC AND TV THINGS GOING ON TODAY!!!!
American Idol's 4th place winner from season 3, LaToya London, who was robbed, releases her album Love and Life today. I nearly forgot!!! Good thing I get email reminders huh ;) In the music tv genre we have THE FINALE OF ROCKSTAR INXS tonight as well. Good grief! I can't even get started on this. I hardly actually give a damn about INXS, but I did hear a decent song from them on the radio today. What you need? I think that was it. The one that MiG got to sing last week. He should win. JD should come in 2nd, which means nothing cuz this isn't Idol, and Marty should just come back to Chicago. They will all end up having someone interested in them. JD has a great voice, and I might be a little bit more likely to pay attention to the radio if they were to pick him, but he just sings the notes to the INXS songs, which is what he is asked to do, sing their songs for them. Marty does that as well, however, MiG put a lot of effort into singing for them. He made it energetic and danced and was awesome. They need him more than he needs them I would say. JD needs them the most lol. Marty has a successful gig with his band, they will be screwed if he is picked. They would only take him for Trees anyway, which is a great song. JD's song is great as well, but they will be scrwed if they pick JD. He's gonna act up and shit. Oh well.
Big Brother 6 finale tonight also and Biggest Loser also is on tonight. They should call it Bigger Loser, cuz I think the contestants are bigger this year so they have the potential to lose more than season one ppl. I have so much shit to do. OH AND THE REMATCH OF DANCIN WITH THE STARS IS TONIGHT. AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! :)

ken
howdy. strange day. went to school and was just generally on the wrong foot and unprepared for everything as per usual :) i kept thinking about my friend nathan gobles from isu so i did a random search and found he had been in a car crash in may. at least he's a live. i figured he'd be in ohio or something.
at any rate, tonight at dinner dude said mom and i had to be good and he'd give us a surprise. we got cake. we asked why. dad said it's uncle ken's bday. we said, but uncle ken is dead, he said i know but the date has been on my brain all day so i wanted a cake'. At least he put a blue candle on it.
I ate chocolate cake
Now I have a tummy ache
Ha aha ha ha :) I was happily watching my food intake today which I do randomly, and it was below 1,000 but that's a long story, and mom's a bitch.Then Dude brought home cake...5,000 calories today i swear lol. I'm going to be bigger than the bed when I wake up tomorrow...if i don't die in my sleep from a heart attack....

unraveling
damn, they haven't cancelled spanish class yet. she's probably here. we are so screwed, we are behind. there is supposed to be a quiz today but it got moved to thurs. i just found out there is a test on thurs in social problems.
today i found out that the only reason marijuana is technically illegal in the netherlands is that it is a public health risk. they view it the way we do smoking. wonder what would happen if they let you have marijuana, but called cigarettes illegal. could be interesting.
i'm unraveling. i need someone. how do i always manage to screw this up? yesterday i just really wanted someone to put their arms around me and hold me, so i went online and i was not spoken to. when other people did talk to me i was probably less than kind to them. major sigh. someone out there must love me.
let me know how you feel.

i'm unraveling. i need someone. how do i always manage to screw this up? yesterday i just really wanted someone to put their arms around me and hold me, so i went online and i was not spoken to. when other people did talk to me i was probably less than kind to them. major sigh. someone out there must love me.
let me know how you feel.

Thursday nigth bff and I got together for Big Brother 6 and watched james leave i think. then we went to applebees and got daquari's and lot of appetizers that we didnt' eat lol. if you are headed to applebee's get the bacon cheese chips or whatever they are. super good! my daquari was yummmmmy. I had a grande lol. bff was jealous she only got a regualar. well dammit i'm 4ft 9in of course i'm gonna have the grande ;) went to the video store after that and they must have smelled us coming or something cuz the kewl dude who was in there was trying to get me to go into the drop box and screw with ppl. he wanted me to say "thank you for shopping hollywood video" or "OW!" or something when ppl would return a movie. i was buzzed and thought about it, but eh i didn't want to waste time. we got 3 movies for 99cents each. bff is awesome. we got Spanglish with Adam Sandler, which...eh...i will just shut up. we got The Wedding Date with Debra Messing from Will and Grace. that was kinda bad kinda ok. we did get one good movie. everyone go watch Monster In Law with J Lo and Jane Fonda. Jennifer Lopez is a great actress. One day I want to see her in The Cell. By the time we got back to bff's I didn't wanna watch movies and neither did she so we watched MTV for an hour lol. Then I went home. Shows about 'date my mom before you date me' are strange lol. mtv may have finally lot their marble.
friday, my body woke up early, grrr. not much happenned, woke up, cleaned litterboxes, went to bff's and watched 3 movies, ate pizza with her.
saturday...which version should i blog about. i told mom and dad i was going to the popcorn fest with bff in valpo. i did go to valpo, and by 7pm i was with bff, but she did not go with me to valpo. i drove out to meet a guy. great guy, very well rounded, great goals, plays guitar like its easy as breathing. also a great cook and he loves art and a strange martial art / dancing type of thing. he's a hottie, looks like Chris Martin from Coldplay. he's beautiful. i left him around 5:30? drove home and got a call from katie that she and caroline had rescheduled the Brother's Grimm for that evening and I decided to meet up with them. the movie wasn't that great. afterwards we were hungry. ended up going all the way back down 30 because stupid me wanted eggs lol. poor bff just wanted ice cream. she got pancakes lol. similar but different, right ;) we were in 2 cars and caroline offered to let us come see her apartment but because of traffic, bff and i got seperated and i just went home. no biggie. sowwy care. i'll be there at some point in the next few weeks i bet. ok me go for now.

spanish
just got out of spanish class. i don't think i like it. i miss doctora elman from munster high school. she taught things well. this woman seems to be all over the board. further proof i went to a good highschool and never realized it till i went to college. i feel bad for our poor profesora. i don't know what the hell her last name is. starts with z. anyway, she got a call from her home country of peru today and her mother has had a heart attack and it looks pretty bad. she got another call as she was walking out the door and it was from peru but she refused to pick it up. we may not be having spanish class next week.

interesting
last night i was very depressed. today was much better although i was awake all night and only got about 2 hours of good sleep, i woke up at 5:10 and went to jewel by 6. i only worked 4 hours today. i was amazed, i had washed my uniform and my black pants 2 days ago and somehow managed to get out of the house this morning without a single cat hair on my pants!!! minor miracle. there was probably one on my butt that i couldn't see, but...
got to jewel and opened the doors. judy opened and it wasn't bad. we don't have our radio on in the store currently because 2 days ago it was just playing the same 98 degrees song over and over and over so the radio has stayed off. that is actually kinda nice. we don't have to scream into the intercom to page someone, and since it is quiet, people can actually think and pay attention to what is going on around them. everyone seemed calm and nice so that was good. ken came in around 8:30 and that's when i got my break so i was happy. i went up stairs and jane from liquor was up there talking to greg about the hurricane situation down south. jane is a black lady who is super skinny and young looking but may be in her 60s very easily. oh well. she just kept talking about the ignorant people she saw on the news and kept saying "just shoot those bastards" she was so funny. after my break i went back downstairs and was talking to ken and he was just like "make a smaller version of the A bomb and just drop it and rebuild" I was just like "screw rebuilding, make a national park or something" it was just an intresting day at jewel. i was out of there by 10am which was strange. usually i just get my break at 10 lol.
went home, changed into cute blue top and went to school. practically fell asleep during class. i've been so tired all day. my eyes have just hurt. came home and went out to friday's with family. it was dude's birthday. 63! go dude! keep on living :D dinner was yumm. i'm very exhasted now and i have to get up at 9 so i am going to bed. i sweaqr on friday and sat the only thing i'm doing is sleepin since i don't have to work.

oh you people lol
oh you people, you goofy jewelgoers you. yesterday you bought us out of newspapers, today it was hormel bacon. a woman came at 6:15 this morning and bought all the damn bacon we had lol. it was a buy 1 get 2 free thing, but holy mother of god! "as you can see we like this kind of bacon" WELL SO DO OTHERS!!!! She must have bought about 51 of them because that would make it $17 and her total bill after tax was close to 20 bucks. insane!!!
jewel was actually good today. got to read tabloids, kenna opened, the mats had to be put down but they were put away properly so i didn't mind and didn't get too dirty. everyone was friendly. matt came in at 8 and he was kinda happy. ann came in, ken came in, yay! my break went semi well. it got very busy and we couldn't keep up and there was a massive disaster every time i had a cupon. there was a pop idiocy as well.

blog
I can't believe my bloggy is a year old and I have over 2 thousand hits!!! I can't believe I have been at Highland Jewel 2 years already. I can't believe Shirley has been there a full year and we haven't killed her yet. Things are so bad. Once again I would like to issue a statement I made in the past. STAY AWAY FROM THE HIGHLAND JEWEL PEOPLE!!!! There's really no point in you showing up. You'll just buy stuff and then have to stand in line for 30 minutes while nobody does anything....nope, no point.
Speaking of Jewel, the past 2 days have been interesting. Yesterday was the perfect example of bad management. We finally had 3 lanes open, a big improvement for us in general, and 2 managers on the floor. We were insanely busy still and Shirley was just a complete bitch. I took my break and as I was coming down the stairs I heard my name being called and I came down and she just started screaming at me 15 MINUTE BREAKS!!!! 15 MINUTES!!!!! We had really rude customers as well yesterday. You people are crazy!!! Whatever your problems are, it's not my fault, so don't get mad at me. If you are asked for your ID and phone number, shut up and do it!!! Some people rarely have to and some people always have to, bite me!!! Anyway, at one point I believe we even had 4 cashiers, oooo :) Shirley was doing nothing but standing there with her hands on her hips waiting to give someone something to do even though we were all busy enough. She was useless!!! Nancy wasn't in the best mood either because I had a very cranky customer. He was asked for his ID for the check he wanted to write and also asked to put his phone number on the pinpad. He didn't want his phone number on the pinpad so he complained. "i gave my id i gave my jewel card, whah whah whah." I called Nancy over, he was mean to her so she got real shitty and didn't want to help me at all with the problem and told me to call Shirley. Shirley wasn't happy about it either and we kept going round and round until finally she bothered to look at the check, something I should have noticed, and saw that his phone number was printed on his check. Ha ha ha asshole! She typed it in and everything was fine. Maybe he won't come back. One less bell to answer.
Even the cats were nuts yesterday. Oliver ran from the backyard to the front yard, found a big cricket, and ate it on the driveway. Cali was actually being the good one!!!
Today wasn't that bad at Jewel. I opened. When I woke up I wasn't very happy. Awake, but not that happy. Got there on time. Kris was there and had everything set up for me. Very nice. She was on top of things. I had a bagger at 6am!!! I was so fucking happy!!! I didn't have to open the doors! 6-6:30 was the 3 of us bitching about Shirley and all the shit she pulled yesterday and then around 6:55, something very interesting happenned. A woman came in my line with some pop and an entire cart full of newspapers. The Hammond Times. There was some big game today or something for lotto and she needed every paper so she could play. WTF!!! There were 85 newspapers in there. Kris was trying to argue that she really can't let her take all those papers and the lady argued that if it were 75 bottles of pop, she would have to be allowed to take it and it's other peoples luck if there are none for them. Well we would have been able to restock 75 bottles of pop, but we ended up giving her all 85 papers. Her bill was about $150. I hope she wins nothing. Why not just go to IL and play lotto? Idiot. That lady is definately goin to hell or something.
Ok that is my bitching for the day. I open again tomorrow, but no school thankfully. Off to do dishes I go. Happy Holidays ppl!

I'm sorry if ur mad at something. I spoke to u after I blogged that. I hope to hear from you again. If you are mad, just spell it out for me because I'm feeling very dumb.

2,000!!!!!
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO COMES TO SEE MY STUPID RAMBLINGS!!!! I'VE GOT 2,000 HITS ON MY COUNTER!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
Repulsive
Ugga. I'm feeling like I repluse people or something. Sorry for the yellow smiley face on the side, forgot to adjust that. My family is insane, we don't talk nicely anymore, we just scream and act rude at one another. It's sad.
Did anyone watch the results of Rockstar Inxis last night? Was it just me or was Ty being an ungrateful arrogant bastard? I thought he and JD should be the two standing at the end untill recent weeks and then he got all offended, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he called INXIS racists in a roundabout way. WTF!?!?!?! He got the low number of votes, sang the wrong words to the song, and this isn't a soul band so I'm glad he left, even though he was good. Now they need to get rid of JD for being such an arrogant bastard. Jordace should win :) I really admire Mig I.... he is so supportive. He could shoot JD and then JD would get up to sing and Mig would just stand up and clap and smile and be supportive like a proud father. I like him. Marty...eh....Suzy...eh...Any comments?
I had other things to say but I forget.

Wow
aaahhh so excited, so excited, so excited!!! Stitch 2 - Stitch has a Glitch comes out today, as does Monster In Law - both to dvd :) Welll, let's talk about today so far shall we? back to iun i go for another semester, but currently i'm plotting to get a second job after this semester. i'm thinking secretary, anyone wanna help out with that? OH YEAH BACK TO TODAY!!! Woke up at 9 and got yelled at for being asleep. I like sleep, I can't help it, awake people make me crazy! Got up, dressed, ate crappy food for breakfast. Went to my class today (had one yesterday, but we'll get to that in a moment, i'm hyper). Today's class was Social Problems. This dude that teaches it, initially looks like Mr. Russell from MHS, but then he starts speaking and walking and you find out that it's more like Mr. Russell who got hit by a truck, and doesn't have the classiness. He also has more of Burt Reynolds's eyes. When he speaks he sounds like Papa smurf but his speech patterns are more like Garrison Keilor. I'm absolutely fascinated. The class could be ok. Somehow I felt like one of the smartest ppl in there. I kinda actually spoke up, it was nutz.
Yesterday was all around interesting. I had to wake up at 5am to go to Jewel to open and work till 11am. I had some of the most mentally ill people. Then I had to call Giovanni's to make dinner reservations, which I thought would be impossible, but was wrong. I had a minor panic attack, called Katie, she yelled at me for being nutz over things like dress code and all that lol. That's why I have Katie, folks, to yell at me :) I showered and chilled out, ate, and headed off to my Philosophy class. I was so happy cuz this teacher was my previous philosophy teacher and I knew how awesome he was and yay! However this class may not be so awesome : S Apparently, this dude is moving from Michigan to Lafayette or whatever to get his Doctorate degree. He's coming directly to IUN from Purdue Lafayette so he's never gonna be there on time. He was just not a happy person yesterday and it left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Oh well. He remembers me so he's gonna pick on me, damn. After class, I went home and dropped off the packpack and went to Katie's cuz we were taking Caroline out for an engagement dinner, yay. I thought it would be more expensive, but we did well. Now Katie has all my money and I can't buy stitch, boo hoo! She has money so she's gonna rent it tonight after we watch Big Brother
I guess I will leave you all alone with that! I have Spanish at 2:20 or something evil. Ok kewl, GO BUY AND/OR RENT STITCH 2 EXCLUSIVELY ON DVD TODAY!!!
ALOHA!!!

Rock on!
I feel like if i just blast System loud enough, I won't cry. Really it just means I won't know how loud I'm crying lol. Why don't guys call you when they say they will? I thought we were doing something tonight, man! Why am I such a trusting person? Why can't someone just do something right for a change? Why don't I believe what this dude is saying? WHY THE FUCK CAN'T BRITNEY SPEARS STAY OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE!!!! Tom said my dogz were ugly, so I guess I will stop posting them :( I had so much bitching to do, I'm not even sure what it was I was going to say.
Mom, dad, and I went out to dinner to TGI Fridays yet again tonight. I had a club sandwhich this time. My coke glass was kinda wet and drippy so I unfolded the napkin it was on to see if there were any other dry spots. When I opened the napkin up into thirds there was this circle pattern with 2 lines coming out of the top of each circle. Mom watched this and said "oh that's cute, it looks like Mickey!" I on the other hand took a different course, "no mom, it looks like the devil."

no more dogzzzzzz
well disaster has struck recently and that's been keeping me from posting. i lost half my dogs. one day they just weren't there. i lost ralph and mae down below *weeps uncontrolably and can't spell* but i am bringing new life to my pets journey.
devin and clay had 3 wierd kids. well they had 4 but i lost Rouge in the disaster.
Daquari and Jem grew up and fell in love. They had an adorable little boy named Nathan.
If you look down and see my pic of "abbey road" then you will see French Fries and Whopper. They mated and had 3 kids, very cute.
Nothing much else going on. Caroline got engaged. CONGRATULATIONS CAROLINE!!! I'm gonna try to do something nice for her. That could be disasterous, me and nice don't mix. Other than that, last week I mailed a blank check :) It was in with the bills and I was supposed to use it to pay for groceries, but it went in the mailbox lol. The PO was nice enough about it so we got them some candy :) I currently don't like my nailpolish and I want to get my nails done this week. School starts the 29th. Bleh! STITCH 2 COMES OUT ON THE 30!!!

Peter Jennings :(
I watched as the news broke last night on ABC that Peter Jennings died from lung cancer. America, please quit smoking. I'm so sad and I have no clue why lol.
Onto slightly happier news. More dogz and more pupz. I adopted 6 more petz and they have all mated. I don't have pupz pix yet but I'll get there eventually.
On the left is Beer, my new bulldog. It's a male and I thought he was a tough dog and needed a tough name, so I picked Beer lol. On the right is Melissa, named after me! She's a lab! Together they have 2 pupz and pics will come soon. They had 2 girls, Strawberry, who looks like daddy, and Daquari who is a blend of both of them, very cute. I like her better.
On the left, we have Clay the red Dashedhound (sp?) I named him Clay because he was red, and I was shocked I hadn't named some dog after Clay Aiken yet lol. Why I made him a wienerdog I don't know, sorry Clay lol. On the right is Devin the Scottie. She's got beautiful green eyes. Together they have had 4 pups, 2 boys and 2 girls. They mostly look like their mother. Some are brown, some are read. 2 have black feet, 1 has a brown body with red feet, lol all nutz. Pix coming.
Look! It's Abby Road all over again ;) Kidding. It's just my 2 last dogs, Whooper, the jack russell, and French Fries, the golden retriever. I tend to be thinking about food or drinks when I play with Petz don't ya think? These 2 just got pregnant, so I can't wait to see the pups, I bet they will be beautiful. If I get boys I'm naming them Peter and Jennings.
Goodbye, Peter! You will be missed!

Onto slightly happier news. More dogz and more pupz. I adopted 6 more petz and they have all mated. I don't have pupz pix yet but I'll get there eventually.
On the left is Beer, my new bulldog. It's a male and I thought he was a tough dog and needed a tough name, so I picked Beer lol. On the right is Melissa, named after me! She's a lab! Together they have 2 pupz and pics will come soon. They had 2 girls, Strawberry, who looks like daddy, and Daquari who is a blend of both of them, very cute. I like her better.
On the left, we have Clay the red Dashedhound (sp?) I named him Clay because he was red, and I was shocked I hadn't named some dog after Clay Aiken yet lol.

petzzzzzz
are you getting sick of this subject yet? screwed you are then lol. remember Cherry the German Shepard and Lemon the Papillion?
Guess what!!! They mated. They have 3 pups that are quite interesting looking.
Quite interesting huh? Huge German Shepard body, crazy Papillion face lol. I might mate her with Oliver and see what kinda disaster I could create lol.
Again, strange looking, this dude is tiny though. Maybe he will grow.
This dude looks like a skunk!!! All black and then the white patch. I hope it spreads throughout his back lol. Still looks like a papillion though. Blah.
I have also adopted more petz. The mutt is a male named Eggplant and the female is a sheepdog named Celery.
They have already grown up and had 2 pups. They both have the sheepdog bod but their colors are kewl.
This is Isis. I call her that cuz she looks like ice :) Cute ears and paws.
This is Jem. Mutt coloring for him but sheepdog body.
I have adoped 4 more dogz but have yet for them to grow up and mate. I have a Daschound (weener dog), a Scottie, a chocolate lab, and a bulldog. This should be a fun few days.

Great day!!!
Hi! I had a great day! Well I got up late and did nothing. Mom wanted me to mail some stuff and get her stuff from Jewel. Then Megan called asking if I wanted to join her and Chris for either bowling or mini golf. We decided it was quite hot and Chris had not experienced bowling like we have. Apparently it is quite different in the east. He lives in Boston. On my first game of bowling I got a 96 and my second I got a 102!!! I was so happy!!! After that we all went back to Meg's house to play Mario Party with her brother Robert. It was kinda nice. I left after that. Meg and Chris are going to see Wicked tomorrow in Chicago.
After I went home, I had to take nana to sears to pay her bill. I had to take her to the one out by where I work cuz the one in Lansing is now closed. That took decades and she is never going to go there herself so it was pointless. When we got back, Dude had WHITE CASTLE waiting for us! I had 3 of my chicken ring sandwhiches with cheese! Then I went to work out. Sears is hiring so I wanted to get online to do an application but the link to it is all screwy. I also went to Target tonight. Bought more Xhilaration jeans! Very happy.
