Time to relax

I just got back from work a little while ago. Just relaxing now. We weren't too busy tonight. There were three of us so it wasn't too bad.

Since my teacher said he wasn't gonna be there tomorrow I'm just gonna stay home and study for my test.

Ok, when I say this don't get me wrong but I am soo sick of hearing about the whole election. I am gonna be glad when it's over! You can't do anything without hearing "vote for so and so" or "say yes to amendment...." It's been going on forever now, longer than usual it seems and I just can't wait for it to be over. Even though I know it still won't be over on Tues. Well this the election part anyway....because Kerry has already said he is declaring victory no matter what....so of course they are gonna fight for it just like freakin Gore did four years ago when he "won" (no matter what "they" say the numbers are what shows and he sure didnt win!)

Can't we all just get along?? Geeze, we are no better than all these other countries fighting themselves. It's rediculous. If we are gonna fight this bad over elections it is just splitting the country, basically into the "RIGHT" and the "LEFT". We need to be together because if we are so busy fitting within the country then BAM another attack to knock us back into what really matters. But odviously that doesn't last very long as we all have found out.

After all, that did just happen 3 years ago! But so many people have forgotten and are completely trashing all the men and women over seas fighting to keep our country safe. I just pray for the election and the circumstances around them that the Lord will work in it.

Well, thats about it right now. My aunt's gonna be here next week I can't wait!!!!

It's hump day

I'm glad it's Wed. I went to school this am and I'm about to go in for my night class in a little bit! I'm glad this week is half over. My AM class teacher said he's not going to be there on Fri so I probably won't go. I'll just work on the paper that is due next week. Or study for my Micro exam for Mon.

Man...Matt talked me into working on Sat. PM. I don't usually work on Sat or Sun but one of the girls quit the other day so they need someone to take her spot. He said I'm first "cut" and he said he'd buy me a meal so I decided to just do it. It will give me a couple more hours, so I'll live.

So when is it ok to tell a friend NO when they ask you a favor. I feel like I have to say Yes because I don't want them to think I am being rude, but I just don't know.

See one of my friends is having some issues with her mom and she has been needing a place to stay...A LOT! I feel bad because I don't want her to not have a place to stay, but it's not like she doesn't have a place to stay she just is choosing not to. I understand that her mom and her aren't getting a long, but my house has been so crazy lately with all the issues going on with the baby,my grandparents just left after like 4wks, and the hurricanes! Having an extra person around that I have to "entertain" all the time is getting me warn out.

I don't have an extra room/guest room, so she has to sleep on an air mattress on my floor that takes up all the walking space. I end up being woken up at the same time the alarm goes off for her, on my only day that I can sleep a little longer than normal.

I just don't know if it's wrong to be like "No not this time ,I'm sorry" . Ya know what I mean? It's so hard to figure out what is right to do. I know in order to help out other people, I have to be flexible but I have been! I just don't know if I'm being selfish or if I'm kinda being a push-over by saying yes everytime! Ya know? I don't know...it's confusing!

Friday night I guess I wouldn't mind as much because we both work that night and would be getting home at the same time. (even though I wouldn't really get to relax when I get home or sleep in the next am) But she probably needs a place Sat. night too, and that's where it gets hard...I work sat night(like I said earlier) she doesnt....so I won't be home and if she is coming in and out when I'm not there and etc I don't want to in convenience my parents since it is THERE house (I still live at home until I finish school). She said she is going out to a club Sat night (fine by me) but who knows what time she'll get home and if its early AM then again I'll be woken up. Ya know??

That's just the part that gets me. If you're at someone's house then you need to respect their hours...If that makes any since. Now if I had my own place and stuff I don't think I would mind as much but since this is their house and that we would be in the same room I don't think it will work out very well on sat. Maybe I can just approach it that way and just be like..."Ya know...I don't mind you staying Fri Pm (I'll get over not sleeping in AGAIN) but I just don't think it will work out for Sat Pm...isn't there someone she is going with that has a place for her to stay that night?

See if it were my place than it wouldn't be an issue, because it would just be me there...but here its my mom, dad, sister, and brother...ya know?

Well anyway guess I'll figure it out when the time comes. I better go get ready for class.

I got my Micro test back

I'm so relieved! I got my micro test back and I got a 79. That's only one point away from a B!!! I would've gotten a B if I would've kept 2 of my answers the way I had them at first. But oh well I'm glad...Yeah I would've rather had a B but I didn't think I would do that good.

Well not much else happened today. I went to my am class and yes again we watched another movie. He finally told us when our papers are due...Next Wed. and I have a micro test on Mon. so I'll be writing papers and study for the rest of the week! Well I gotta watch my team! Go Broncos!

Ashlee Simpson on SNL

Did ya see Ashlee Simpson on SNL last night? Well I didnt watch it live but I Tivod it (like I always do) and watched while I was getting ready for church this am. So I watched the first performance, it was fine and then they had a couple more skits like normal and then Jude Law introduced her for the second performance.

Ok I'm sure we've all hard about what happened after that....She was kinda standing there moving a little bit and then the band was playing a little bit but (it was kinda soft you really couldn't hear it very well) then a vocal track came on. She was like oh crap and then she went off stage, of course after doing a "hoe down" jig. So ya she apologized for it at the end of the show.

It was kinda "shady" that she kinda blamed the band but everyone is making such a big deal about it for nothing. SO WHAT if used recorded vocals during the performance. I've heard her sing live and know that she can still sing. Geeze, it was freakin SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE....they were trying to make sure that everything went ok (of course there was a problem) but give her a break. I know it would've been hard.

Ok enough of that.....so I went to small group it was kinda cool. I have been going to that church since about March I think but was never able to go to the small groups because of my work & school schedule interfering. Well so now that it is on a different day I am able to go. Well I've gone for like 3 or 4 weeks now. Its been entertaining but I never really talked that much. I've always been pretty shy/reserved when it comes to being in places that I'm not that formiluar with.

But so during the end when we were taking prayer requests I went to tell everyone that we (my family) needed pray for strength during this time, and during the hearing that will be coming up. Well I busted out crying as I was talking. It always comes out at the weirdest times. I kinda felt embarrased but they all were so supportive. We all prayed and it was just so comforting to know that God has put people in my life that truely care. I just thank God that he brought us to this church to meet the people we did at that time...and this time. I know I pretty much shooked everyone but what can I say...like this girl Sarah said....I've tried to be strong and it just comes out.

Ok...I'm gonna go finish watching Crossing Jordan and then go to bed because I have class in the am.
--Later

Just about to leave...

I'm just about to leave to go over to David's house for Small Group but I just wanted to write a little first.

So after church today I had planned on meeting Diana for lunch. It was kinda late when we finally got to go because on my way home I realized that I couldn't find my phone and that it must have fallen out of my purse on the way to my car. I had my sis search through my bag (I was driving) but no luck. I couldn't find it.

So I drove all the way back to church and we were looking around. Tim & Di were there and Tim tried to call my phone we were listening for it but no luck. I had no clue were it was we looked by were we parked and even in the church(even though I knew I was outside when I had it out) So finally I just decided to look one last time under the seat of the car, (while Tim was calling it) Nope didn't hear anything(still on silent) but I saw the blue lights on the side flashing. So I found it! Thank God that I found it because I don't have enough $$ right now to buy a new one.

SO.... Diana meet me at my house and we went to Chilis. Ok to say the least our server wasn't very good AT ALL. Although she kept up with my drink, she never came back to check on us once we got our food, (I need another napkin I had a messy Chick Sandwich)didn't ask us how it was, didn't ask if we needed anything...... so we finished, a few minutes later she takes our plates and then walked away. atleast 5 mins went by we see her walking around but still never came back and to ask if we wanted dessert or the check then she finally brought the drink over. We were there for ever! Now I work at a resturant I know how it is to have servers get sucky tips but if I were serving a table and gave them sucky service than I would expect the $2 sucky tip that we left her.

I usually leave a more than generous tip and I know that people have their stressful times but if she was that busy she could've told us "Ya know I'm sorry I've just been so busy blah blah blah, I mean SOMETHING!" I know how busy our restaurant can get (ours is pretty new and its busy) and they weren't by ANY means BUSY! So I dunno. I felt bad only giving her $2 but ya know it is my $ that I'm tipping her and she wasn't doing anything to deserve more! So her tip was probably about 11%. I usually atleast tip 20% if not more....but atleast I didnt stiff her! You tip for the service they give you and if you are expecting to get a 20%+ tip then act like it. Geeze...So anyway.

Well I gotta get going. I'll be on later because I didnt get to talk about SNL last night. Did you see it?
...I'm out!

I VOTED!!!!

So today...Ideally I would've slept in but since Alexis need a place to stay last night I ended up waking up when Alexis had to at 8 am. If only we had a guest room, but no she had to sleep on the air mattress in my room. It's ok though, she's my friend and she didn't have a place to stay so its all good.

Since I was up anyway...My mom and I decided to go vote early. Since we live in the wonderful(ha) stay of Florida we have a few extra weeks to vote because of the junk that happened 4 years ago. It was sooo cool, this is the first year I was able to vote in the presidential Election and there wasn't a better time to kick off my "voting life" than this election. With all the crap that's going on with voter intimidation and all we weren't sure what it was going to be like when we got there, so my dad decided to go ahead and vote today also to be with us. (have you heard about what has been happening at the polls, people are basically physically intimidating people and harassing them about who they are voting for.) I just think that is ridiculous. I mean it's AGAINST THE FREAKIN LAW to do any of that. But anyway...(sorry I went on a tangent.)....

Ok so my dad goes with us. We get to the "polls" and as we are walking in this lady and these two little boys about 9, were walking in front of us. So we're standing in line and the mom told them to sit in the chairs and wait for her to finish. There sitting there and are messing around, talking and all of a sudden the started whispering(loud enough to understand though) "Kerry...Kerry" (of course they are not realizing that they are making a horrible mistake by saying that infront of my mom) So there mom turns around is just like "SHHH" and of course they don't care and they start saying it again. At that point my mom heard them, she turns around and says "You know you aren't suppost to be doing that here, its against the law"! (which is true) Those boys shut up real quick. LoL It was pretty funny and ridiculous at the same time that they were being obnoxious. I'm sorry its just my humble opinion that you need to teach your kids about how things work, and that is not appropriate in that type of setting.

Of course this was nothing like the crazy stories I've been hearing about on the news or even of the FR, but they should know that there is a correct place for what they were doing AT A RALLY not AT THE POLLS!!!!!!!!! (ya they were "just" little kids but still their mom should have kept them under control. I know my cousins that are that age wouldn't have been acting like that). But I guess that just shows the difference in parenting "style/techniques" that are used.

On a side note: I'm not going to get all you're voting for the "wrong" person or the "right" person on you, but I definitely think that you need to be informed of the decisions you are making and not just listen to the bias media to get all your info, (that is true with anything) DON'T JUST USE ONE SOURCE!!!!! It just frustrates me when I hear people talking about this kind of stuff and what they are saying is total junk! Voting is a privilege, you should research and decide who is best for you, your family and your country not just vote for someone because that's what you "should" do or because that's what "they" tell you. Ok I could go on but I need to just stop at that or I'll never stop! :o)

Ok enough of that....So my aunt Beth is coming down soon. I can't wait! I haven't seen her in forever it seems, so I can't wait. She is so awesome and we always have so much fun. Of course we are all a really close family so when she comes down it's great because then all my mom's siblings will get together and we'll all have a great time.

My grandparents (dads parents) just went back to CO. They were here for like three weeks. And his brother and family are coming down like a week after Beth leaves. It's crazy because they haven't been here sine my cousins Billy was 3 and Benjamin was a baby. Sarah and Phillip have never been here. So it'll be so cool to have them here too! Hopefully we can take them to one of the parks or do something like that.

Well I think that's it for now. I'm hungry, I gotta go figure out what to eat. In the famous word or Logan....

TGIF

Well its Friday...I just got back from class. We have been watching this movie "Tora Tora Tora", it is about Pearl Harbor. It supposedly one of the best movies done on it with accuracy, etc. It's an older movie but it actually was pretty interesting. I just can't even imagine how it would have been to be out there when we were attacked. Just from the movie it look horrifying.

There is more junk with the Shaffers....it is amazing how people can be so brutal. All Andrew wanted was to be able to have visitation with HIS baby and they are acting like we killed someone. It is completely rediculous. They odviously don't realize that the baby has 2 parents and he should be able to see him. It is really so sad that they can't just see that they are lucky that Wyatt has a father who cares so much for him and us too. I know though, that the Lord has a plan, and that if we trust in Him that things will be worked out and that gives me peace. The Lord knows our hearts...

Well I just got a call from Alexis I guess she needs a place to stay this weekend so I gotta go clean up just incase she doesn't find somewhere else to stay.
...buhbye
