So last night after dinner we decided to go to Hallwalls to see the new statue show thing. It was on the cover of artvoice and it features these pink statues that look just like naked people but like 2 feet tall versions. So we go and surprisingly there is like no parking which I was surprised by and we go in and there is a lady taking money and it was $15 dollars per person whihc I thought seemed like a lot and I didn't want to see it that much. So while me and (e:libertad) debated if we should pay or not she said we could just pay for one person if we wanted cuz they just wanted an audience. And i thought ok. So we did and then we wakled the way she told us which was not towards the room with the statues and realized.....WE WERE AT A CONCERT THAT WAS AN IMPROVISATIONAL ORCHESTRA.

It was at first like um what is this? But then it was really kinda cool. Like it was an orchestra with all the instruments and a vocalist and a conductor but no music. It is like controlled improvisation or something. Like what the conductor is doing is telling the people when/how/what to play sort of I think but each person is just improvising what they are playing but in the context of everyone else. I don't know it is hard to expalin> I think the program said it was called CONDUCTION. It was really kinda cool, especially the vocalist who couldn't use words or anything becuase they would have to start and stop. I don't know it was neat but like i also after 45 minutes had enough of it but that was the intermisison so we left anyway. It got a little old after a whlie but I don't konw, if you get a chance I recommend you see a little of it sometime. It was definetley something different.

Then during intermisison the exhibit with the statues was open. it was cool, they were super lifelike but just little. It was kinda creepy to have all these little versions of naked people looking mischievous/and/or crazy around but it was neat. though it may give me nightmares for years to come.

Anywho, I love things like that where you just don't expect something and it just happens cuz you just walk into into it by mistake. I never would have even known it existed it we didn't get tere by mistake.

OMG i almost forgot at one point a person walked in and slipped on the floor and kinda fell (and yes I am one of hose people who can't help but laugh when people fall, maybe it is the fault of growing up on I Love Lucy? where falling is always funny) anywho it was wierd cuz they slipped and made all this sound but it kinda seemed like ti fit in with the music instead of seeming disruptive.

Well actually tomorrow I will have a new car. After an exhaustive search for a used blue toyota matrix I finally decided to just bite the bullet and buy a new one. I went to West Herr Toyota in Orchard Park because I had e-mailed Toyota dealers about prices and stuff and they seemed the nicest there. The lady Colleen LeClerc was really helpful and not pushy. I really like it, like she didn't push me to get like the advanced model or extra things and I think i got a pretty good deal because it was a 2008 and now the 2009's have come out. According to my research I paid a good price for it I think. Anywho, I cannot wait to get it! I said I wanted the rest of the weekend to decide so I have to call her tomorrow morning to confirm I want it ( i put down 50 dollars so noone else could buy it just in case) and then since i work 830am-9pm tomorrow they will deliver it to my work! How awesome is that!@ I am super exicted! Here is a stock picture, not my actual car but it looks like this....



It was more than I originally wanted to spend but hey it is a new car and I will keep it for a long time and I think it is worht it. The payments really aren't that bad after the downpayment of my insurance check from the accident!

It is quite freakish , almost every time I have checked my e-mail in the last month or so I have had exactly 18 e-mails. I mean not every single time but I would say 87% of the time roughly. That is so strange. Why always 18, so odd? I thought maybe it maxes at 18 but no cuz i have more sometimes. So odd. I am gonna check now...,.holy heck I serioulsy have 18 e-mails. It is so werid. I generally chekc it like once maybe twice a day and , 9out of 10 times i will have 18 e-mails! Super werid!

So you know I think i forgot this in my last post but you know what the clincher is: I have never called in except once in eight years and the time I am really sick is like 3 weeks after they effectively ended sick days, and is also the one week of the year when I have no vacation days to take because of this weird thing where RiteAid anniversary dates and eckerd ones were different so we were given like a percentage of our vacation days to use before our new anniversary date and then get the rest. Yup mine is next week so I had to use them all by last week to get them in in time , pay check wise! But the rest doesn't kick in til next week so I have vacatio ntime to use! Awesome!

And P.S. does anyone know what it could mean that my belly button is super red circle around the whole tihng and is super red. I noticed yesrtday and while it isn't as red it still is and I can find nothing online about what it could be unless it is

A. I am pregnant
B. I am allergic to the hysterectomy glue they used
C. I am morbidly obese and my belly button has been hidden for years and is decaying
D. Someone complication with the umbilical cord (which Iwould have imagined would have manifested itself before now)

It's weird cuz it isn't itchy, or cut, or bloody or anything like all the other online examples. Just red. Ugh it makes me feel freakishly nervous!

Monday night i was having lots of stomach issues and barely slept so tuesday at work I felt like crap. I was supposed to leave at 5 but it was crazy busy so I went and had some dry heaves and a little vomit around 5:30 and then stayed til 7. I came home and felt so sick. All night i was up with dry heaves but no real vomit. You kno whow just throwing up makes you feel better , I just wanted to so bad knowing I would feel better. I laid half the night on my bathroom floor. Eventually at like 7ish it all came rushing up. I felt better but still really queasy and shaky. So sick still that I called into work. MIND YOU TIHS IS ONLY THE SECOND TIME IN EIGHT YEARS THAT I HAVE EVER CALLED IN SICK. The first time was for mothers day one time. I felt so bad for calling in cuz i think today was prolly gonna be a bad day cuz it was our first day wihtout the trainers for the new system but seriuosly I have still been having lots of stomahc isuues and haven't really eaten since yesterday at 11. By tomrow hopeuflly I will be ok to go bakc to work> I feel so bad. I know I hsouldn't and I am sure veryone at work understands I am really sick or i wouldn't do it but I still feel bad. Ugh, I hate being sick.

The worst part is I missed all of mardi gras which I love though I did have a little mardi gras in dry heaving on the sie of the road on my walk home from work. That's how the night would have ended anyway right? Ugh!i hate being sick though it is a good diet, I havne't hardly eaten a thing in like 36 hours so that's pretyt awesome!
