It's been so long since I've posted that I've decided to just dump all of the pictures I've taken. it should give you an idea of any of the interesting things that have happened in the past two months.

( Cut because I'm nice and don't want to stretch your friends' page. )

I have so much to post for ya'll- pictures, videos, stories! But...I don't want to right now.

Just thought I'd tell ya'll that I'm still alive.

Mom found her at the plant where she works at brought her home. I'm gonna put up "Found Kitten" posters, but if no one claims her, then she's ours.

So one of the dudes stationed with EMS 7 came in while the store was empty (which was most of today thanks to the rain), and flirted with me for like two hours. Yeah. He's gonna come hang out next saturday for Trailfest *grin* Luckily I get off at 2pm that day.

And...eggies!

AUUUGH! My gum is driving me nutso! It's all swollen around my wisdom tooth :( Damn dentist never called and I forgot to call her yesterday T_T Healthcare = fail this week.

I just realized that I finished Turn Coat the other day and didn't post anything about it! I'm waiting for Megan to finish reading it before I say anything, even though I try not to post spoilers anyway...but you know. I'm in serious need of more books to read, though. I'm totally slacking in Jim Butcher's other series, I'm behind on Teen Titans (I pretty much missed all of Final Crisis, guh), I'm way behind on my Kim Harrison books, there's another Real Vampires... book out that I haven't gotten my hands on yet... Geez, how could ya'll let me get so behind in this stuff?

As the addiction is fully set in, please clicky my eggs for today:

Or at least I need to be. I hardly post at all.

So today I got up, showered, took my various meds...did some laundry...did dishes...and played pokemon diamond.

Yeah, ok, so it wasn't that eventful. But it was my day off, so I'm glad that it wasn't. *munches on marshmallows* I did manage to get the last gym badge, so yay for that! Now I just have to go through the Elite Four bit and after that, complete my pokedex...*dies*

I'd totally play at work, cept that probably wouldn't go very well. People would be at the counter "Excuse me, miss?"

"SHOOSH! I'm trying to defeat a Luxio with my Gastrodon!" And then they'd leave, because obviously I'm on some kind of drug.

Speaking of pokemon...help my eggies hatch! Please?

So uhhhh...yah.

It's been a while since I've really posted anything of interest, but really, that's because nothing's happened. 'Cept for that little bit about the truck that I posted earlier today, lol. Everything's been pretty normal. I work 6 days a week unless someone messes up the schedule somehow, though I still get extra hours now and then. Mostly on wednesdays cuz I end up staying longer to help stock. And of course, if a certain someone happens to be in there, runnin' his mouth, I'll hang around after I sign out >_>

On the car front- well, there isn't a car front. I've given up for now as I have learned that I need to just save up a WHOLE FREAKIN' BUNCH to put down. I'm talkin' like 5k. It's the only way I'll be able to afford something I want. And dammit, I'm getting something I want, not just something I can afford. Also I have dental fees.

On the dental front- need to talk to Dr. Steen's daughter (can't spell her name) again. She's supposedly got the name of a dental surgeon who will cut out one of my teef. It's currently trying to rip my face apart.

My MLP addiction is still going strong, and I've started adding Transformers to it. I bought a Jazz toy not too long ago, and then made a little stop motion with him :D



Neat, huh?

Oh, and I adopted another pokemon egg XD

Click it too! :D

I'm sitting here at Roses, waiting for Megan so we can grab a bite to eat and I can pass along Turn Coat for her to borrow. Can't say much as I'm typing from my phone, but I think ya'll should know that yesterday I totally leaned forward on the back tire of a bright blue Peterbilt while trying to appear sexy. Yeah. That's how my life is atm.

Yep. I got to sleep in til 8AM OMG! No really, that's late for me. Normally on a weekday, I get up at 5am. It's suppose to be 4am, but I usually hit the snooze button on my phone a million times. But Paul decided today that he was going to work first shift. I'd like to point out that he's already cracked his new knee replacement but pushing himself too much. He has surgery on Friday. He's workin' that morning too. GAH! He evidently didn't listen when I threatened him if he behaved like a stubborn old man. So yah...I'm still gonna be working pretty much everyday (cept this Friday cuz I is off).

I kinda like being up at an early hour, cept I dunno what to do with myself. I could clean...but who wants to do that? I might actually get stuff together that needs to be mailed. I've had Christmas presents laying around the house since November.

Postal Laziness, I has it.

In other news...I went to the dentist yesterday. That tooth that I just had filled?? Yah, the nerve's dieing. So I get to have a root canal on the 30th. Woo! At least it's not infected and they've got me on antibiotics.

Uhh...I also found out that I can wait until June or so to get my wisdom teeth out and that I only have to have the bottom two removed. She said that they'd only be about $225 a piece, which isn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be. 'Course she also said that she can't sedate me for it. "I can give you a valum and numb you, but that's it." Great. If I want to be sedated *sings* then I have to go to an oral surgen person in Asheville and that'd be around 3k. Yeah, I won't have that much. So if I'm a nervous wreck in May, you'll know why. I'll be dreading that. On the up side, I trust my current dentist(s) and I don't think it'll be that bad. I'll just have to keep my eyes closed a lot.

I think I will walk to the dollar store and get some crackers to snack on with some low cal cheese (you heard me).

This is what happens when I watch the news and/or actually talk to customers at work.

- The idea what we're leaving random debris in space REALLY bothers me. I mean, I'm glad for my cell phone and everything else made possible by sattelite, but OMG THAT'S JUST ASKING FOR ALIENS TO COME AND KILL US ALL! Not to mention we're just fucking up another system. I mean, really. Is tearing up our planet not enough? I feel like Wal*E could really happen.

- Same goes for the ocean. We need to stop poking around down there before we wake up Gamera. I'm really not playing. I have a fear of giant sea monsters. The fact that squid are acting funny at the moment is just even more reason.

- People need to stop complaining and blaming Obama for the economy not being fixed yet. HE'S NOT MAGIC! HE HAS A LOT OF CRAP TO CLEAN UP. HE TOLD YOU FROM THE START THAT IT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME.

- Also, the media needs to shut the hell up and be more positive. Ya'll ain't helping spread hope.

- What exactly is the government plotting by raising taxes on tobacco? It certainly isn't concern for people's health. Me and my cousin's new squeeze have decided that they're trying to take out tobacco farmers, which would pretty much kill North Carolina and Virginia. OMG THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE US OUT! Obviously they're still pissed about that whole Civil War/Rebellion thing.

- The Sear's Tower was bought and the name was changed. WHAT!THE!FUCK!

So uhh...to quickly sum up my life lately:

- Still haven't finished my knitting projects, or started on my ponies.

- All kinds of new stuff in town including a new sammich shop and a tattoo parlor accross from the gas station. I think I should get a tat of a Jabberwocky. Whatcha think?

- Uhh...still working every day. It's hell on my feet and I'm really tired pretty much all of the time, but at least I'm getting paid.

- Did my taxes (mailed them today).

- Am aiming for a car by the end of the month. It's possible. I'm getting all of my Federal taxes back, which means I can use my savings to get a car. Awesome.

- Still need my wisdom teeth removed.

I think that's it for now...

I finally got my box of My Little Ponies that I won on ebay. Here is a picture:




The first row, starting left to right is: Serendipity (from McDonalds),Coconut Grove, Pink Sunsparkle, and Lullabelle.

And there you have it.

It's 2am and Ozzy's barking OMG.

I was at work yesterday and the day was started off...special.  While the paper lady was getting her coffee and while I was staring up at Transformers Animated playing on the t.v., a guy drove his rental truck into the side of the gas station!  It sounded like the whole side of the building was coming down, and when I turned around, I saw a rented Budget truck tearing off the aluminum awning that covers our sidewalk.

Yeah.

He swears that our awning hangs out too far, but seriously?  It barely covers the sidewalk and if he had kept going, the back tire of his truck would have gone over the sidewalk and possibly hit the giant windows.  That corner (which is where I stand, btw), is pretty much made entirely of glass.  The awning was attached to the brace at the corner.

He could have pulled out the windows.

Luckily the boss man was right behind him and saw the whole thing.  Insurenece is going to pay for the damage, but I feel like this guy needs his license taken away.  He told us that he hit icicles with it while trying to go through a MCDONALD'S DRIVE THRU!  That is generally NOT reccomended.  He also backed into someone in a walmart parking lot.

He has no bussiness driving a truck that size.  Or any truck, for that matter.

As though that was enough excitement....

For the rest of the day (and into this morning), I recieved calls asking if I still had a free Paint mare.  *sighs*  Someone put my name and phone number in an ad on Craig's List saying there was a mare free to a good home.  Weird thing is that it says it's in Mars Hill.  So whether it's a prank or a mistake is unknown, but it's been flagged and reported.  I just dunno who'd do that and think it's funny.  It's sorta random, too.

Speaking of phone calls, I was woken up by Greg over at Auto Connection...AGAIN.  This dude has been told not to call anymore.  Not to mention the fact I already explained to one of the other sales people that I no longer have the money for a car.  (Though I do.  Ended up having enough saved in my account to pay for the dentist visit, but still).  I told him that I had spoken with someone else there already, multiple times, and hung up.  I was half asleep so anymore more complictated than that would have been hard to say.

*piles of snow go flying as she digs her way out.  Two gloved hands grip the sides of the hole and hoist her out, dressed in a pillowy parka, goggles, a scarf, and a hat.  Oh, and pants...those are important.  And boots.*

OMG YOU GUYS!  It's been snowing non-stop since 3:30 yeseterday.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!

So happy.

Wow, I'm still slacking in updating.  At least I've gotten back into updating Plurk now and then.

I gave up on Twitter.

Anyway...there's nothing new happening.  Maybe that's why I hardly update, ROFL.  The car people kept calling us, even after I explained that I won't be buying a car from ANYONE right now.  I have a huge cavity and need to go to the dentist, and with no insurence, I have no idea how much it'll be.  But I'll definitely have to use my down payment to pay for it.  Plus I have no idea how many other cavities they may find.

Ah well, that adventure starts on Thursday.

On the bright side- I'll probably have another 1k saved up by the end of the month.  So if I can just hold out til mid-March, I may just be able to put 2k down on a car.  This should make it tons easier for me to afford a small SUV.  Hell, I might just get a truck.  Depends on if I can find a nice 1500, or Silverado sport.  If I get something like that, I want it to be on the small size.

Yeah, I gave up hope on finding a car that I can fit in.  It just isn't possible.

Yep!  One day, while bell ringing, this woman put some money in the bucket, then suddenly hugged me!  And I don't mean one of those polite, barely touching you kind of hugs.  No.  This was a full on bear-hug with back patting.  So I laughed and hugged her right back.
