I have always LOVED 311 since the first time I heard them, 12+ years ago. But tonight's concert was indescribeable. The only other time I ever remember feeling so euphoric was after the birth of my daughter. I cant even begin to tell you how awsome they are... no words can even compare!
Pepper was there and they are awesome too. I suggest you download some of their stuff... er... go buy their cd. |

As of 9:30 this morning I am officially divorced! Woo Hoo! Took me long enough! IF anyone shall ever find themselves in this predicament of divorce DO NOT... I repeat... DO NOT go to Kimberly Ashley! Even if she were cheaper than most it doenst mean it takes a year for an uncontested divorce! The woman wouldnt talk or even look at me in the courtroom this morning. She had her (un)trusty sidekick do the dirty work. Afterwards the lady made a joke of the courts taking longer than them.... Hardy har har... Forgot to laugh! |

I have finally, literally, made myself sick of rice crispy treats. So my new current obsession is Hot Tamales Popsicles and Bubble Gum ice cream. I used to always get a scoop of bubble gum ice cream and a scoop of daquiri ice at Baskin Robbins growing up. Those are scarce any more though. I had gotten some bubble gum ice cream from Cold Stone a while back, but they are expensive and not close too where I live. So I was thinking how somebody needs to sell it in the stores. Lo and behold 1 week or 2 later there it was... A pink tub of Breyer's Bubble gum ice cream in the freezer section at Wal-Mart. It is so good (super sweet). The only complaint I have is the gum pieces are hard and they dont really chew like gum, more disolves with the other ice cream. I like that it doesnt chew but it doesn't have to be so hard! Better than that though is the Hot Tamales popsicles. Tastes just like the candy! Albertsons is the only place I have found them so far in Fort Worth. I highly recommend those! |

Well after a shit week of work last week, I had to rent a car to pick up Soleil in Lubbock. Before I got out of town, My poor car finally blew its engine. So I half enjoyed Lubbock not having to think too much about my troubles while there, until my uncle got involved in my divorce attorney screwing me around. She tried to make herself look like the good person to him and me the bad guy. What do you know, back in town she still screwed me by not having my papers ready. Now I am pissed again about that and to top it off I had to find a car the same day with little money and no chance to finance a car. I was about to give up but went to one more spot. And there it was... An '88 Volvo... One owner. It was in my price range and well taken care of. I know it's not the best picture but I haven't found time to get one in the day time yet...

I don't mind the new public school uniform concept. But I want to know... Who in their right friggin' mind decided on white as one of the two choices? |

| Damn DSL |
[Jul. 19th, 2006|11:02 pm] |
Finally got DSL hooked up today! Turns out the phone company, after all these years, hasnt learned out how to hook up accounts right. Nice to know I am not the complete dumbass in this electronic age.
As if I werent hooked on the computer already with slow ass dial-up, I am even more now! Its cool to click something and almost simultaneously it loads. I can watch/download videos and music so much faster it's not even funny as to why it took me this long. Now if I can tear myself away and go to bed I might just survive work tomorrow.... |

| Yeah! Finally got my tattoo... |
[Jul. 17th, 2006|05:43 pm] |
I have wanted to get another tattoo for quite some time, although 7 yrs ago I said I probably wouldn't get another one. I have had about 3 in mind for several months now, but just now found time to do it. Love it. Loved the picture when I found it, but love it more as a tattoo: 
I am not one usually for metaphors and analogies and all that good stuff, but the lotus represents perfectly this time in my life. Out of mud (or shit as I call it in my life) there can be found beauty. Where there isnt much else, the lotus thrives. |

| Well this week sucked |

I put in 55 hours by the end of Wed. night and put in 12 days straight. Talk about sore. I woke up Thursday morning and could barely walk to the bathroom. Every step hurt. Like I had done a really intense workout and didnt stretch.
Tried to get DSL installed on my computer since I am on it so much. We attempted this once before and I had a slow ass computer with not enough memory so it didnt work. I was afraid to attempt it again although I have memory added b/c I hate dealing with the phone/internet company. Well I got nerve to try and what do you know, I still dont have it. It isnt me this time though. I got screwed once again with the company. It should have been connected by the 7th of this month yet I didnt get around to hooking it up until the 11th. Every time it couldnt read the modem and they kept telling me there was a power outage. For 4 days it was the same excuse. When I installed the ethernet card it added a firewall that I couldnt even log into the dial up. Can you imagine 2 days with NO internet? Not that I had much time for it but you always want what you dont have. I kept thinking of several things I wanted to look at yet here I am now online and I cant think of anything worthwile to look at. I hate being so addicted to the internet as technology and I are not the best of friends. I am a nerd in ways but not when it comes to computers...
Talked to Soleil this morning. I have been missing her but no time to talk to her with work keeping me occupied. She talked for a little bit and then started crying saying she wanted to come home b/c she missed me. AAHHH. I had to tell her to enjoy as much time with her great grandparents though as long as she can as you never know. They are in Port Aransas now, have been for many years, but are moving back to Lubbock at the end of this month. My aunts found a great retirement home where the government pays most of the expenses for retired militry vets who served in any war. So until then Soleil and Papa go fishing every morning. I had to buy her a new Barbie fishing pole this time as her last one was cast out into the ocean on her first attempt. Soleil caught 5 fish one day, 6 the next, then 1 and 1.
The only thing that didnt suck was getting out Friday night to Club One and hearing some great music. There werent a lot of people like at The Church. The music was better and a bit older crowd. Being on a Friday night was a bonus too b/c who with jobs can really get out on Thursdays and Sundays? I hope they get enough people to stay open but not too many pretentious goths. |

Mema had talked about picking up Soleil and taking her back to Port Aransas for about 2 weeks now. Well this weekend she came and got Soleil. I was so ready for her to go b/c she has been acting bad. Well yesterday hanging out, Soleil was good and all cute and then it really hit me at work early this morning she is going to be gone for quite some time. I am going to appreciate the time to get things done but I miss her already. I have a whole month of no child, well except my mom.... What's a girl to do? |

Soleil was laying on my bed last night watching tv when there was a commericial with a baby. She said, "Aww, I want a baby. Mommy, if you had another baby would you get back together with daddy or would you find another boy?" |

One day I feel so needed... do this, do that... then the next day... oh wait, I dont like you b/c I am jealous I went on salary and you make more than me with those hours... go home. Now I am not complaining not getting overtime at work b/c I cherish those weeks with no more than 40 hours but when you work your ass off and take time out of your personal life and then they say fuck you, you wasted your time by piddle farting on ours. What the fuck ever! I feel like I am in middle school all over again (and I am dealing with people twice my age who act about half of my age)....
And when it comes to my stores being short on people, oh well nothing we can do. Sorry about you, yet they dont wnat me to get more hours than needed. And seeing as we have no secretary in the office anymore I have to do most of my paperwork b/c Heaven forbid anyone help me. There is so much contradiction it's ridiculous. |

Since I hadn't posted/updated so long I just wiped everything out and am going to try and update more often. I got busy in life and then I got sucked into the world of MySpace. So if you see me there, you will be getting a double post on here.
Let me try to give you the short end of it all:
1. I miss watching The Mavericks already. Something about Dirk Nowitzki in these finals... What a guy...
2. Have been seperated since September, but according to my lawyer, it sometimes takes 12-18 months. Since I sent a grievance on her, she definitely has taken her time.... Larry moved way far away to right next door. He recently suffered a mental breakdown and still looks to me for help and hopes of getting back together... not gonna happen...
3. My mom moved in right before Larry moved out and it's like raising a teenager. Sometimes I think my 6 year old daughter has more maturity than my own mother twice my age...
4. Work sucks! I know everyone says that but I have an upperhand on that one. There is so much drama and chaos, I feel like I am in middle school all over again. Some days when a particular person is upset with me I am not allowed to work overtime (like my feelings are hurt that I might actually have some personal time) but most of the time its Rgis Inventory Day and Night, Night and Day...
5. Anxiously awaiting the concert to see 311 September 2nd! (And Carlos Mencia in October will be cool too.)...
Alright well I picked a busy week to try and update so siesta time for me before work... |
