one small step for me...

one giant leap for me being on time...

i bought alarm clock today... i am officially becoming a responsible adult. really.

i get up for work everyday at 630. i floss- even though i hate it.

this is a huge deal, after years of using my cell phone, which is never the best idea. i hate having my phone on at night, unless im out or up. so, now i don't have to deal with texts or calls, and i can wake up to that age old lovely buzzing noise that many have come to know and hate...

make it stop

so i had this awful tonsilitis. and i had it while i was still w/o ac/ kinda homeless and had to work 12 hrs everyday. well, the meds i took gave my major stomach issues.

i was reduced to eating... toast and sprite and bananas for 8 days. so i was done with that on friday. i went out friday night and had little fun. i was the dd, not one ounce of alcohol, not one.

i ate healthy today, and not even that much, and i come home from work and what do i get???? more stomach issues!!!!!!!!!!! wtf???!!!

i went to church today... because i wanted to. i think i just feel like going to church. i didn't do anything bad or anything, but i just wanted to go. and this is how god rewards me? not fair.

also, it seems many men are trying to hollr at me and the one that i actually like, has not contacted me in four days. now, to a woman that is a lifetime, to a man maybe not.

i think this calls for a massive brownie sundae, even though i will probably be sick ten minutes later...

and i am reverting back to the "shopping for labels, not shopping for love", attitude.

estrip.com is for sale...

so, still no ac. day 19. i want to sleep in my bed. 19 days of not sleeping in my bed has resulted in several strained back muscles. for real my back is messed up.

i also got tonsilitis over the weekend from god know what. maybe from working 80 hours last week and not getting proper sleep. and the anitbiotic i am on prevents me from eating food. otherwise its some major stomach issues. so its like bananas and crackers until saturday. i learned the lesson the hard way yesterday at the movies, nough said.

finally found the courage to quit my one job...phew.

im making a lot of money, but im somehow always broke. this could be because i spend way too much money on clothes...

and gas is killing me., everything is so spread out here, so i end up spending about 70 a week on gas. thats 280 a month, byebye extra cash...

but i am also in the process of paying of my stupid car which is like over 1000 a month, so i can get it paid off before school starts, so i wont have to worry.

then when i am done paying off the car, i can move on to credit card debt. why i ever got one i don't know. i am go to pay it all off and then get one to pay for gas and pay it off right away to build credit. thats what they say i should do...

i miss buffalo and all of my friend so much right now, i think maybe the most since I've been here. i love it here, but i just need to reconnect with the old sarah and all of buffalo's loveliness. i also miss my sister a ton and this is the longest i have gone without seeing her i think since i was 16 or something crazy like that.

its not right.

quess i will just have to continue working millions of hours so i can make these dreams of trips come true.

if the ac is not fixed by friday, the mom and i are headed to a resort for some major r&R. please god, let it be fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have realised how cool it is to have a lil sis. my cousin is the same age dif as (e:hodown) and i and it's great. she is so cute and pretty and fun, and gives me backrubs when i say. oh the joys!

day 12

of no ac at home.

10 more days to go.

poor mom, its either 4000 to fix it now or 1500 to wait for a part to come in. i miss you comfy pillow top mattress!!!!

at least my auntie lives so close and doesn't care that i am staying with her.

why is it that there a million boys, and the one i really like, i don't think its gonna work out with. im going to just let it be, and whatever appens happens. im not gonna chase someone down.

i will quit my one job today. no human should have to work 70+ hours in a week. it makes one do weird things like breakdown and cry at work...

my lil cousin just came back from her trip to ny. i missed her so much. she's like the little sis i never had but now do. i always wanted one, but i used to hate her when she was little. now she is the coolest. i feel like i am giving back a bit. my sis is the best, and now i have a younger one to do what i say and spoil them!

ok, (e:peeps), have a good weekend....

my homesickness has come to a peak and i shall return to the drty buff within the next 3 months... get ready. ;)

life in the "stone" age

1 week of no ac at home. i am an official refugee from the heat.

fu-gee la la la.

the guest bedroom at my aunt's is still hot. and the bedd feel like there is a slab of rock in them. they are laso twin size. which means child size to me.

but they do have a sweet house and give me good wine and food.

my mom and sister think i like ghetto guys. they are kinda right.

not so much ghetto, but a little bad. the nice ones never measure up.

next week i will:

make my way home

start a new book

work about 70 hours

so, if you google my name, and click on images, you get all sorts of not appropriate results. umm, i was foolish and wasn't thinking, wow one day, i will want to be a teacher, and that's not a good idea.

if i contact google, will they take it down? or should i change career choices yet again?

i'm shopping for labels,

not shopping for love. i love fergie, and the song she did for the SATC movie.

i really like i am too shopping for labels not love. boys bore meeeeeee lately. i would so much rather get pretty things than get some.

with that said, i have VIP at the hard rock tonight, and I am going to rock out with style out. i can't decide whether to go full out rock n roll, sexy secretary, or classy lady.

hopefully this will be worth it, because i have to work at the hospital tomorrow. and it will be awkwardness because i have to see the dr. that asked me out that i ditched and ratted him out to his gf. i get myself into the weirdest situations.

i think i have finally mustered up the strength to quit my other job. the hospital has approved so much overtime for me, and i neeeeeeeeeed the money. i am selling out, but you know what, i have years ahead of being a teacher and technically i am doing good at the hospital, just for more money.

have a great weekend peeps!

i'll need to see inside your shirt...

so i went to see death cab last night...amazing. they are a great live show, the songs sounds better than on the cd.

so, security was crazy and everyone got the pat down. girls were patted down by girls and guys by guys, ok. i was joking with my cousin, that if i was a lesbian, i would totally want that job.

it comes my turn to be patted down, and she does it. then she looks at me and says, "i'm going to have to see inside your shirt... i mean purse."

WHAT????????

wow, then i just laughed for like 5 minutes and she seemed really embarrassed. then my cousin kept talking about it. it was the funniest thing that had happened all week.

crazay.

first time in a long time

im going to a concert tonight!!!!

i think the last real concert i went to was lil bow wow, when he was still little, back in the day in blo. don't ask. (e:hodown) had the concert hookup, sorta, because no one else at her work wanted the tickets, so we ended up going.

i think (e:terry) and (e:paul) were there...hahahaha.

anyway, i'm taking my little cousin to see death cab for cutie. now, they do not rank high in the hotness factor, but their music is amazing, i think, and i'm super excited!

it's outside at this new ampitheatre thing, so hopefully i don't die of heatstroke...

i heart apple

my ipod decided to break. it was a sad ipod.

i made an appointment at the genius bar, and away we went in hopes of fixing my poor little sad ipod. so cute, even when sad.

well, they couldn't fix it. but, i must say i was really impressed by the customer service, i didn't have to wait long and the staff was so friendly. not to mention the cute geek eyecandy i got to admire!

anyway, when it couldn't be fixed, they gave me a new one!

it was so quick and easy, and i am totally pleased with them right now!

i should start getting all my music on my shiny new happy ipod now!
