Well I saw it first thing this morning

 

June 30, 1999

Well I saw it first thing this morning ... South Park The Movie ... and it was pretty funny ... the unfortunate part ... the theater I went to ... the audio kinda sucked ... so during all the songs ... you couldn't hear the words very well ... cause the music was so loud ... but the movie was funny ... and it was great seeing the characters on the big screen ...

After the movie I drove around looking for a place to get my rear view mirror fixed ... it was sooooo hot in my car yesterday that it fell off ... but my knowledge of the area is quite limited ... and just didn't find a place ... it is weird driving without my mirror ... I keep checking it ... to realize over and over again that it isn't there ... hhahahaaa ... but I did stop at Best Buy and get the CD I have been wanting ... Limp Bizkit ~ Significant Other ... I am listening to it right now ... and it rocks ... I love it ... I used to make fun of my friend Ben for listening to them ... and now I totally dig 'em ... I should have learned in high school when I used to make fun of my biology teacher for listening to Jethro Tull ... and then wound up loving them at well ... hahahaaa

My boss told me last night that he is going to start tipping me out at lunch cause I am working just as hard as everyone else there ... which is really cool ... it will still be the shift I give up when I find a second job ... besides I like working there at night way better than at lunch ... besides at dinner I get to keep all the tips ...

I have also come to the conclusion I am just going to have to get a regular office job ... everything in the casinos says minimum 1 year experience ... where I am supposed to get this experience I don't know ... and I have so much office experience ... so I should just stick with what I know ... I just really didn't want to be a secretary for someone ... it gets old so fast ... but I need a job with benefits ... I only have health insurance for two more months ... and I learned quickly after breaking my leg ... even with a huge deductible ... you need to have health insurance ... those health collection agencies are brutal ...

my friend Jason S. who lives out here said he and his wife are going to come into work tonight for dinner ... I hope they mean it this time ... he has told me a bunch since I have been here that they were gonna come in but then never do ... but it is fun when people I know come to visit ... although all that has been is Kris on her way home from work ... or the one time she and Chevy came in for dinner ... but it is cool ... besides the dinner shift is much more lax than lunch ... they don't really give me a hard time about anything ... Monday night Anthony let me turn on That 70's Show ... and watch while I did my side work ...

well I am quickly running out of stuff to type ... so I guess I will go hang out before work ... maybe something exciting will happen and I will have more to write later ... hahahahahaa ... yea right!!

 

Well work was somewhat groovy ... pretty slow ... didn't make much in tips ... although these two women said the nicest thing to me ... they said I had an amazing spirit and a great smile ... that they felt joy being around me ... which I thought was so nice ... of course they left no money on the table ... so I am thinking that was my tip ... {smile} ... not that there is anything wrong with that ... but I am working for cold hard cash here ...

my friend Jason S. and his wife didn't show up tonight ... man one of my biggest pet peeves in the world is people saying they will call you or meet you ... and then not doing so ... I would rather people not say anything and then surprise you by showing up or calling you ... but otherwise it drives me insane ... I don't know if there is anything that bugs me more ...

Tonight Lori, a friend of mine and Kris' was here when I got home from work ... I haven't seen her since I have been here ... and it was great to hang out and chat a bit ... and she is coming over for the 4th when she gets off work which is totally cool ... I think she was a bit jealous when I moved out here ... cause I think she has to compete with me for Kris' attention ... which isn't true ... and I always have a good time with her ... so I am sure we will all have a blast on Sunday just hanging out ... and yea I don't have to work ...

so Kris was still awake when I got home tonight ... and told me at one of their offices are they hiring assistants ... and is going to get me the info on the job ... it would work out great working in an office ... cause that means I could have 2 jobs ... and still have Saturday and Sunday off ... so it wouldn't be too bad at all ... the only bummer about working in an office is going out and having to buy office clothes ... I do love right now that I can wear my cargo pants and T-shirts to work ... ahhh but the sacrifices we have to make to get health coverage and a 401K plan ... hahahahaa ... too bad they don't have a Nordstrom's out here yet ... cause then I could charge stuff on my mom's card and pay her back later ... so I better start tucking money away for new work clothes ...

ya know I have tried really hard not to complain about the weather here ... but today it got up to 111 degrees ... hot hot hot ... and I have to wear pants to work which is just killer ... I tried to get away with wearing a tank top at work today ... but it didn't fly ... the second I walked in he said ... where is a T-shirt ... I was so bummed ... and our air went out at work ... and with pizza ovens it was like 120 in there ... I was dying ... but it got fixed ... so no big deal ... but man if I could wear shorts and a tank top ... I would be so happy ...

I should head off to bed now ... long day tomorrow ... and thank goodness hump day is almost over ... and we are heading into the weekend ... a weekend with my favorite holiday ... {big smile} ... can't do better than that ...

Well I have been kind of lax

 

June 28, 1999

Well I have been kind of lax about writing in my journal ... not sure why cause I think of stuff I want to write about all the time ... I guess I am just so tired every night ... and so rushed every morning ... so lets see ... what all has happened

Friday night at work we were busy as hell ... I was there an hour and a half longer than I should have been ... but I made pretty descent tips ... and I don't mind working at night too much ... it is the lunch shift I hate ... but Kris and I had talked about going out for a little while Friday night ... which I have been dying to do more of since I got here ... but I was tooooooooo tired by the time I got home to do any more than just sit ...

I have met a really nice guy online that I have been talking to ... who is here in Vegas ... and what is really cool ... we are just friends ... no talk of dating ... or anything big like that ... in fact we have never talked about meeting ... right now he is someone I just enjoy talking to and that is cool ... I think my life is too chaotic for anything more ... so much so that the personal ad I have up here ... I am going to take down ... for many reasons ... my ad talks only of "hanging out" ... yet I don't get any responses like that ... I get only dating responses ... and hardly anyone attaches a picture ... which to me isn't right ... besides the fact that there is a picture on my ad ... my web address is listed which has tons of pictures ... and a link to my home page which has tons of information ... and I am sure part of the reason people respond to my ad is cause they see my picture and know I am not scary looking or anything like that ... besides I have specific rules for meeting people from online ... cause I have been doing it for like 6 years now ... first I like to talk online on more than one occasion ... second I must see a picture ... and third then talk on the phone ... then decide if I want to meet them and vice versa ... and I stick to these rules big time ... I came up with these rules because of my experiences when I first started meeting people ... and I don't think they are asking too much ... but one wouldn't believe how many people think they are silly or try and convince me how cute they are ... it has nothing to do with that ... mostly I just think it is good common sense ... makes me a little more prepared ... I don't like walking into the unknown ... and the internet can be the great unknown ... besides I let Kris see who I am meeting ... even when I didn't live here ... just in case ... and she has a copy of the picture as well ... I am sure people could screw with me and send me someone else's picture ... but that has yet to happen ... and truthfully ... if people can not comply with these few simple wishes ... why should I want to go out of my way for them ... I mean come on ...

ok enough of that ... Saturday night I took Kris and Chevy to see Carrot Top at the MGM Grand as a thank you for all that they have done for me ... it was an AWESOME show ... Kris and I have been fans of his for like 9 years now ... and we were laughing so hard we were crying ... we had shitty seats which was unfortunate ... but we had an amazing time none the less ... I had really wanted to go out afterwards ... but neither of them wanted to so I was totally out voted ... I definitely need to make more friends out here ... and preferably single ones ... cause all my friends here are married ... and none of them wanna go out and do anything ... it is like pulling teeth if we do go out ... single people are always looking for a prospective ... married people have someone already ... maybe I will get a job where I make new friends ...

Sunday night while Kris and Chevy were at the park with the dog ... I moved all my stuff out of the garage ... when the movers and put all my stuff in the garage they did it quite haphazardly ... and all of it took up half the garage so Chevy has been parking in the driveway ... I knew I could get the stuff in there so that it was just along the wall ... and he would be able to park in the garage again ... so when they got back ... Kris and I went to work ... and she was totally laughing at me ... recently I went through learning disability testing ... many teachers have suggested I may have a problem cause I am so bored in class ... which I don't ... but the one test I tested really high on was a spatial relations test ... and Kris is convinced it is my strongest ability ... I can look at stuff and turn it into a big puzzle ... figuring out how it will best fit ... and sure enough I looked at all my stuff ... and was able to get it to fit so that Chevy could pull his car back in the garage ... she kept saying it is too bad you can't get a job doing something with this spatial relations talent ... cause you would be the best in the field ... hahahahaa she is right ... it is too bad there isn't a job out there using this talent ... so now I don't have to get a storage space ... cause my stuff isn't taking up unnecessary room ... which also means we don't have to move my stuff from the garage to the storage space to my future home ... it will just be one move from here to where ever I decide to live ... and with it being 107 degrees everyday ... cutting out any unnecessary moving is fantastic with me ...

one bummer ... when I was moving a bookcase of mine ... I knocked off most of one of my toenails ... and man it hurt sooooo badly ... and water makes the skin burn ... it is kind of hard to keep your toe out of water in the shower ... but it will eventually grow back ... just such a bitch of a thing to do ...

I have really been wanting to get a piercing ... either my tongue or my nipples ... I don't' know why I have been hesitant ... the two times I did my nose I didn't think twice about it ... and I did it the hard way ... I had Kris do it for me ... which makes it take hours ... what I would really love to do is get a tattoo of the sun and moon image without the faces that is on the first page of my home page ... I want it on my lower back ... but my parents really don't like tattoos ... and when I was 14 made me promise I would never get one ... so I have to respect that ... but it was kind of an even trade ... don't get a tattoo ... and we won't say anything about anything else ... although the tongue they may say something about ... even though I am an adult ... hahahahaaa ... they still are my parents ... maybe I am just feeling bored ... who knows ... I just know I think about piercing all the time ... and would love to get something done ... I guess only time will tell ...

nothing happened today worth writing about ... all I did was work all day ... and I am so exhausted now ... that even though I have tomorrow morning off to look for another job ... I may go to bed early anyway ... I should have gone to the movies after work ... I want to see Big Daddy ... before Wednesday ... cause on Wednesday ... South Park the move opens ... and I know I wanna see that ... I wish I had Wednesday night off so I could go see it ... but maybe I will just plan to go Wednesday after work ... cause I know I am going alone whenever I go ... Kris has no desire to see it at all ...

well I feel better I am caught up ... maybe there will be something exciting for me to write about this week ... hahahahahaa ... but I am doubting it ... not that I am unhappy at all ... quite the opposite ... things are great ... and I am totally happy ... my life is just uneventful ... which in a way is a good thing ... life was too hectic and unhappy before I got here ... I am happy with the placid feeling for now ... {smile} ... I just really still miss having my cam site running ... but all in due time ... if I keep plugging along like I am ... and working hard ... everything will fall into place ... it always does ...

Well I have been here one week as of today

 

June 21, 1999

Well I have been here one week as of today ... and everything is going pretty groovy so far ... {knock on wood} ... one bummer though ... I don't get to see Kris too much ... she is gone in the morning when I get up ... and she is usually asleep when I get home from work at night ... at least I have this weekend off ... so she and I can hang out ... we still talk on the phone a whole bunch ... but it is like living in Cali sometimes ...

The last couple of days I have really been missing Harley ... yesterday Kris and I were at the pet store ... and they had the cutest all black kittens ... I wanted to take one home so badly ... but I promised everyone I would wait a year ... and I know I at least have to wait till I am not living with Kris and Chevy anymore ... 3 pets in this house are enough ... and I do wonder if I should have another all black cat ... my very first cat ... Bageria (a character from the Jungle Book) was all black ... and the first pet I fell in love with ... and had a great personality ... and then Harley ... the best cat ever ... so I tend to think another all black would be great ... they have great personalities ... but it might be hard thinking of Harley all the time ... I still call Kramer Harley on occasion without thinking ... I am sure that is an old habit that will be hard to quit ...

Today Chevy and I passed each other in the street when I was going back to work ... and he was getting home ... told me there is a cooks job at his work I could have if I want it ... pays 3 bucks more an hour ... and I could keep my job at the pizza place at night ... but I hate cooking ... that was one of the things I was excited about when I dropped out of school ... that I wasn't going to have to be a chef in the restaurant at school ... but he was asleep when I got home tonight so I didn't get any info from him ... I'll have to wait till tomorrow to talk to him about it ... but the lunch shift is the first thing I will give up at my present job cause I don't get tipped out of the tip jar ... who knows why ... I work just as hard as everyone else ... and I have a good attitude the whole time ... but he said if he tipped me out of the jar at lunch ... there wouldn't be much left for the guys ... just doesn't seem right to me ... so that will definitely be the first shift I give up when I get another job

Man I feel like I have been so busy since I got here

 

June 19, 1999

Man I feel like I have been so busy since I got here ... and I guess I really have ... working on unpacking ... getting my room all comfortable ... and working a lot at the restaurant ... I do the swing shift everyday ... so it kind of sucks ... but at least during dinner I make tips ... the guys weren't all that cool to me when I first got there ... but it is getting better ...

last night I realized it was a week since I moved out of my apartment ... and on Monday it will be a week since I got here ... and I am really loving it out here ... I need to find a second job or at least a better paying one ... but this one is good for right now ... till I get more acclimated ...

I did have last night off which was great ... I got home at like 2 ... and around 7 Kris and I went out ... we had a pretty good time ... but then the two of us always do when we go out ... we first went downtown and met a bunch of people from her work at some bar & restaurant down there ... it was pretty good ... a groovy blues band playing ... and other people buying our drinks ... ya can't beat that ... plus she and I just needed to get out of the house ... and have some fun ...

1st bar Friday Night

Kris & friends from work!!

After we left downtown Kris and I headed to boomerangs ... a place she and Jessica used to hang out at all the time ... I had been with her once before when I was out visiting ... we didn't stay long ... and the fun we had there was taking pictures with the digital camera ... and watching everyone get a kick out of seeing their picture immediately ...

Our bartender

After boomerangs we went to Chevy's work ... he wasn't there but a friend of Kris' was bartending ... so we went to hang out for a bit ... but by that time we were just exhausted ... we headed home to crash out ... and crash out big time is what we did ... although in the back of my mind I knew I had to work all day today ...

DCP00308.jpg (68851 bytes)

Kris' friend at Chevy's work

but then that turned out lucky ... it was really slow so instead of working 9 hours like I was scheduled to ... I worked lunch ... and then I have to go back for dinner in a couple of hours ... I really wanted to take a nap when I got home but I am worried I won't wake up in time to get back to work ... and ya know how ya feel after a nap ... all groggy and just wanting to sleep more ... but I have tomorrow off ... so I can sleep in ... and just hang out all day ... I should be out helping Kris clean the house right now ... but Chevy is in a pissy mood and I hate hanging out with him when he is like that ... cause it just pisses Kris off ... which isn't right ... so I am holed up in my room ... watching Weird Science ... and working on my journal ... I do have a bunch of web stuff I need to work on ... just haven't been in the mood lately ... I miss being able to smoke at my computer ... I am sure the computer doesn't miss it though ... cause I know how bad it is for my equipment ... but it kept me working here longer ... {smile} ... maybe tonight Kris and I will go out for a drink or something when I get off work ... if Chevy pisses her off enough ... so we can get out of the house for a few ...

well I need to make some phone calls ... maybe I will have something exciting to write about later ... wouldn't that be nice ... hahahahahaaa

Viva Las Vegas!!!

 

June 15, 1999

Viva Las Vegas!!! I am here ... we got into town yesterday afternoon ... barley ... my breaks sounded horrible the whole way ... and I was really nervous with my car packed to the brim that they would fail at any time ... but we made it ... and as I type this ... someone at Midas is fixing the car up now ... thank goodness ... cause I start work tonight at 5 ... waitressing ... so I need the car big time ... cause Kris will probably be asleep when I get off work ... so I doubt she would want me to call and wake her up for a ride home ... and she has a stick shift car ... which I don't know how to drive ... so I couldn't just take her car ...

so lets see ... back track over my weekend ... worked my butt off packing all last week ... Friday morning the movers came and moved me out in 2 hours ... and I hung out ... cleaned up ... and picked Kris up from the airport ... we went to dinner at one of my favorite places on the way home ... and then got my car loaded up and headed down to Orange County to stay at her brothers house ...

by 4 AM we weren't getting any sleep ... cause everyone was so hyper over there ... and the two of us were exhausted ... so we left for her moms house ... but since no one was answering the phone ... we fell asleep in my car till about 7 AM ... when her mom finally got up and let us in ... the two of us crashed immediately ... Saturday we went shopping at South Coast Plaza ... and then went to an Angel's game with her brother and his wife ... it was totally fun ... and then went to the bar where her other brother works and had some drinks ...

Sunday we got up early and repacked my car ... cause we didn't have any room for the cat ... hahahahaaa and Kris wasn't about to hold him on her lap the whole drive out here ... family came over Sunday afternoon and then Eric picked me up for a movie ... we went and saw Austin Powers which was pretty funny ... went out for coffee ... and then watched old Sinefelds till we fell asleep ... it was nice hanging out with him my last night in Cali ... Monday morning ... I drugged Kramer for the trip ... Kris came and picked me up ... and we headed for Vegas ... unfortunately the drive out here took longer than it should have cause they were paving a section of I-15 and had only one lane open ... a part that should have taken us at the most 20 minutes took us almost 2 hours ... they had 3 of the 4 lanes closed ... totally ridiculous ... and around 4 PM we pulled into the 107 degree heat of Vegas ...

We went to dinner at Chevy's work and I had ribs for the first time in my life ... they were pretty great ... and I had a blast hanging out with Kris ... when we got home I unpacked my car ... and Kris and I are about to unpack all my clothes ... so I can find stuff to wear to work tonight ...

all the while I have been taking pictures with my digital cam ... and I think I will include some from the weekend here in the journal ... I just love having this camera ... and people seem to love having their picture taken cause they can see it immediately ... so here are some pics from my weekend ...

well I had a pack of really weird dreams last night

 

June 6, 1999

well I had a pack of really weird dreams last night ... none good ... some scary ... and some just upsetting ... in one someone who was my "friend" cut my hair short ... can't really tell ya how she did this without me knowing ... the dream started out with me crying about having short hair ... and whomever this friend was kept telling me how ungrateful I was ... for she had spent the time to give me a more grown-up style ... but it was awful ... just awful ... and it wouldn't do anything and I kept saying ... it took me 6 years to grow my hair this long ... I didn't want short hair ... and she was the one that was mad at me ... my dream dictionary does say ... "to dream you cut your hair close to the scalp, denotes that you will be generous to lavishness towards a friend" which in my dream the back of my hair was totally buzzed ... it was the front that was freaky and ugly ... and had little tweaks that stuck out and there was nothing I could do about it ...

I also had this dream that was totally disturbing ... I was on the phone with Heather I believe ... and there was an interruption on the phone line of some warning about a crazy killer ... and she and I were cut off ... and I hadn't heard the whole warning ... cause it wasn't coming in clear (must have been on my cell phone ... hahahahaaa) ... and I tried calling the operator ... and she was telling me it wasn't safe to be on the phone ... but couldn't tell me what the warning was ... and I didn't have access to TV ... and I ran around and closed all the windows ... and closed the blinds and the curtains ... and I remember trying to go to sleep and I couldn't ... and I didn't even know why I was so scared ... cause the killer my not have even been in Cali ... it was just weird ... and I had totally restless sleep after that ... wow I just started looking up what this dream means in my book ... and it says ... "to dream of curtains, foretells that unwelcome visitors will cause you worry and unhappiness" weird since I was dreaming there was a crazy killer out there ... so now I just looked up telephone ... and it says a bunch of stuff ... "to dream of a telephone, foretells you will meet strangers who will harass and bewilder you in your affairs.  For a woman to dream of talking over one, denotes she will have much jealous rivalry, but will overcome all evil influences.  If she cannot hear well in conversing over one, she is threatened with evil gossip, and the loss of a lover." ... well it is a good thing I don't have a lover to loose ... hahahahaaa ... but weird stuff ...

I was thinking the other day ... I am going to miss KROQ ... the radio station I have been listening to since I was like 12 years old ... 17 years with one radio station sure is a long time ... I wish they had an internet connection ... so I could still listen in Vegas ... this past summer when I was in North Carolina I could listen to a friend of mine in New York over an internet radio station and it was so cool ... but seeing as KROQ just got a web site like a month ago ... I doubt they are hooking up some internet station any time soon ... ohhh the web site is at www.kroq.com ... it is a pretty cool site ... but then again it should be cause it took them long enough to have one up ...

ohhhh I am so tired ... I went to sleep at 3am ... and was awoken by the phone at 8 this morning ... I didn't answer it but it woke me up ... and I have a terrible problem ... once I am woken up in the morning ... I can't go back to sleep ... so I have already been to the store ... out to breakfast ... and a Starbucks trip and it is only 9:20 ... well I should probably read the Sunday Los Angeles Times so I can use it to wrap stuff up for packing ... hopefully my day will be interesting enough to write more later ... hahahahahaaa doubtful but then anything can happen ...

My goodness my house is such a complete disaster

 

June 5, 1999

My goodness my house is such a complete disaster ... and I AM NEVER GOING TO GET EVERYTHING PACKED!!!! ohhhh this is one time I wish I was Samantha from Bewitched ... and I could just zap everything to Vegas ... including myself ...
Last night I did a pretty good job of getting some packing done ... but at the same time I didn't even feel like I made a dent in all I have to do ... the moving guy didn't come over the other day ... he had to many appointments ... so he is coming over sometime this morning ... well in about half an hour ... I sure hope he quotes me a price I can afford ... I really want movers to move me and not my friends ... it would just make EVERYTHING sooooo much easier ...


YES YES YES ... I hired movers ... the guy that came by was soooo cool ... and he got the price down to what my parents said I could afford (I love that "what my parents said I could afford ... I can't afford shit it is what they will pay) ... I have to get rid of the fridge ... cause that was costing me the most ... and Kris and Chevy didn't care at all cause they don't have to help me move all this crap ... and the fridge is from like 1980 ... and costs me a fortune in electric bills ... and the movers schedule is exactly the same as the one we had planned ... only we don't have to do the work now ... I can't even express how happy I am about this ... god it will be so great having movers ...


ok ... something I wanted to write about yesterday ... but didn't get the chance ... another gripe about society ... how does a person get into the 10 items or less lane at the grocery store ... at 5 o'clock when it is totally busy ... with 17 items ... and then after the clerk rings it all up ... realize he forgot his wallet in the car ... and run out to get it while everyone else just has to stand there ... I had like 3 items ... the guy behind me only had one ... and then the guy strolls back in and has to charge his groceries ... and the stripe on his card doesn't work ... and he knows this ... so the woman has to punch in the numbers ... and whip out that thing to copy the card ... it was just the most inconsiderate act I have seen in a while ... I mean really is it that hard to count to 10 ... and I watched him count his stuff while he was still far back in line ... I mean jeeezzzzz ... we all know what the 10 items or less ... cash only line means ... we are all busy people ... we are all in a hurry ... no one more so than another ... I wanted to say something so badly but I realize I am totally stressed out ... and thought if I did say something I would wind up taking out all my frustrations on this guy cause he was there ... and I didn't want that to happen ... but still ... 10 means TEN ... no more ... and cash only means ... CASH ONLY ... ok ... at least I got that off my chest ...


Trey ... Jason T ... and Jason's boyfriend Jason all came by to see me today ... since I am moving ... they are all friends from Kansas and Jason T. just moved out here so it is kind of a bummer I am moving ... Kris called while they were over and invited them all out to Vegas for July 4th weekend ... which would be a blast ... and they all sounded like they were going to make the trip ... I think it has been quite a while since Kris has seen Jason T. and Trey ... so I know we would all have fun ... we all used to hang out together quite a bit in Kansas ... Jason and Jason are renting a fridge ... and I told them they could have mine ... but I don't think they have any way of getting from my apartment to their own ... which is a bummer cause I have to get rid of it ... and in order to hire movers I had to make a promise to my mom that I would have nothing to do with moving it ... the two times I had to move it with friends she was pissed that I participated ... it wasn't like I strapped it to my back and hauled it up the stairs ... but she still wasn't happy none the less ...


well it has been quite a long day ... I got a lot done ... yet still nothing at all ... I kept calling Kris and telling her I didn't wanna pack ... and I didn't know what to do with the stuff I wanted to get rid of ... but not throw away cause there wasn't room anywhere in my house ... and she said ... look do the kitchen ... if you get that done you will feel great ... I am calling you in one hour to see what you have done and don't just tell me you have washed the dishes in the sink ... so I totally busted a move ... put together a whole bunch of boxes ... and packed everything single thing in my kitchen that wasn't too big for the boxes I have or in the dishwasher ... and she was right ... I did feel totally good ... tomorrow morning my boss is bringing over the rest of my boxes that I loaned her daughter ... so bummer I will have no excuse to not pack ... hahahahaaa ...


my cable was shut off today ... and it is awful ... they just tease you ... every channel plays The Preview Channel ... like ... this is what is on even though you can't watch it ... but it was probably a good thing ... cause there is lots of I Love Lucy on on Saturday ... and I would have wanted to watch it ...


I was supposed to meet a friend of mine online tonight ... which I was looking forward to ... something other than packing to think about ... but as I sit here and write this he is 30 minutes late ... so I am figuring he isn't showing up tonight ... which is a bummer cause I am still pretty awake ... so I either have to force myself to go to sleep ... or pack some more ... and I think it is obvious that I don't wanna pack anymore ... ever ... but at least not tonight ...


Kris and I decided last night that we are going to move the futon out of the room I am staying in at their house ... and put my bed in there ... which I am quite excited about ... I have slept on that futon couch and it pretty much sucked ... and I thought ... woooo nelly I am going to sleep on that for months ... are they saying they don't want me there for that long ... hahahahaaa ... but she said ... ya know that bed does suck ... and we want you here for a while so you might as well be comfortable ... which just rocks ... I will feel more like I am at home than a guest ... besides I didn't want to fold that bed up everyday ... hahahaaaa ...


I think Kris and I talked like 10 times today ... and one whole conversations was about how bitchen this was going to be ... and how much fun we were going to have being close ... and at one point I said ... well we obviously can't say it enough cause we have said it in this conversation like 50 times already ... it really is going to be so great living near her ... people keep telling me they have friends in Vegas that can show me around and I think ... I know they are just being nice ... but geezzz do they think I have never been there before ... and I have Kris what more do I need ... if I am going out ... it is with her ... she said it is starting to feel like old times ... when we lived in Kansas ... and I said ... yea just in a cooler city ... now we just need to get Sean out there ... then life will be grand ... especially since I don't want a roommate ... but if Sean were there I would definitely have him as a roommate ... I know he and I live well together ... and then it would be even cheaper to live out there ...

Friday is supposed to be my last day at work ... but that is the day the movers are coming ... and I am thinking I am going to need Thursday to just freak about getting everything packed ... so I will have to tell them on Monday that Wednesday will be my last day ... not really a big deal cause it is finals week and we never have anything to do during finals week ... wow I am just realizing I will probably have to disconnect my computer Thursday ... well maybe Friday morning ... and it won't be back up until Monday when I get to Vegas ... look at me I am such a freak worrying about not having my computer ...

Kris decided to fly out next weekend since Chevy doesn't need to be here to help me move ... that way she and I can drive together back to Vegas ... Jason, Jason and Trey are coming down Friday night for dinner ... and then Kris and I are going to her brothers house for the weekend ... she has an appointment early Monday morning and then we are heading to Vegas around 10 ... so we will be there by 2 ... man I am so excited ... in just one week and one day I will be living there ... I can hardly believe it ...

well it is 3:00 in the morning ... so I am thinking I should head off to bed ... I do have a lot more packing to do tomorrow ...
