well today i found out that my father and brother lost their jobs on valentines day.

apparently the company that they work for just closed the doors on them. They didn't even know until my sister in law (who works for the bank) was informed that she should not cash checks from that particular company. They were bouncing. A few inquiries later and... oh by the way, you don't have a job anymore.

Now my brother will probably find a job. But my father is about to turn 60 in a few months. Who is interested in hiring a 60 year old mechanic? not many people. its so sad i don't know what he is going to do.

It scares me to think about how horrid this economy is getting. I mean out of my nuclear family (parents, 3 brothers and myself) there are only two of us working now. And my brother is pretty sure that his plant is getting shut down soon as well.

How bad is this going to get?

I think that they made all the border crossings to Canada more difficult because they knew that half the population would be interested in ditching this stupid country, like I am right now.

here i am once again... playing on the computer when i should seriously be getting ready for work.

we got our refund check which meant we bought some things we normally wouldn't at wegmans last evening. even went for rice milk and TWO different kinds of protein/whole foods shakes. wowsers!

typing 'wowsers' just then reminded me of my old housemate steven and it made me miss him.

i had several things i was going to post about, but of course as soon as i go to do so, my mind goes a bit fuzzy.

well at any rate... i'm excited for tonight, (e:peeps) and pizza. social interaction is always a dandy experience. see ya tonight!

last night (e:lauren) and i went to our dance class and found that (!!) we got to do a floor class instead of our normal cardio dance class! as in we actually learned breakdancing moves like spinning on your back, the six step and some baby freezes. it basically was like spending an hour and a half rolling around on the floor. so awesome! I felt as though this is the part that i'vebeen waiting for. it felt so... satisfying!
i am really excited for it, and i think that we are definetely going to start going mondays AND wednesdays to class.

i am a bit sore in the shoulders today though.

i actually just heard the sound of a bird outside. haven't looked outside yet, but it gives me that warm and 'spring will come one day' feeling. hoorah for spring! one day! lol

excitement!

a few brief highlights of the past few days:

1. Netflix rules.

2. i'm sick of having cupcakes in the house.

3. i'm sick of the amount of booze/beer in the fridge/house. anybody want some jello shots?

4. i didn't have the headache hangover of death on sunday! wooo!

5. holy damn cold bitches!!

6. i'm going to seattle sometime in the next 7 or 8 months. which involves flying for the first time ever. wooooo!!

7. okay now i'm grasping at straws. Ive nothing left.

there seems to be nothing better than procrastinating getting showered and out the door to work. I do this every morning. sit in front of the computer wayyyy tooo long and then run around like an idiot trying to get my stuff together for work.
but seriously... you can't rush estrip.


i'm very excited for tomorrow night. dance dance dance! my aunts and cuz will be showing up before we go out, as will some of lauren's friends. We are heading down to Marcellas early... as in probably 9 or 10 ish.
Please tell me that
a) the club will be open and
b) there will be a couple of people there before midnight.

i know its early but my aunties are early bar birds.

But we will be staying out all night! well maybe not all night.

shit i have to get movin
