Well the weekend went pretty well ... uneventful which can sometimes be good ... we did find out one bit of bummer news ... I got my last unemployment check the day David quit his job ... which kind of sucks ... but we will work it out ... we always do ... :)
Saturday was a big day of nothing ... I woke up at like 6:30 and everyone in the house was still asleep ... around 10 I fell asleep on the couch watching a movie ... David woke up while I was sleeping ... when I got up finally David went back to sleep sometime after that ... it was just a boring day ... even my mom and dad kept falling asleep ...
today David went for a bike ride with Billy and I worked on laundry and I finally scanned all the postcards I have so far ... 43 of them ... so tomorrow I am going to put them up on the net ... once Davey got home we started working on cleaning ... because in just a few short days there are going to be 10 of us all together here at the house ... hanging out and cooking out and having fun [i hope] ...
David and I did amazingly well not spending money this weekend ... I am so happy with the two of us ... we also got the house pretty damn clean so far ... and did some of the grocery shopping ... there is just a bit more cleaning to do in the morning ...
David and I have been practicing our Tricky game as well ... since drew is coming we don't want our asses kicked ... :)
to top off the weekend ... there has been an hour of Lucy on tonight ... I miss the days when the show was on all the time ... so it is a rare treat to get to finish out my weekend with a bit of the lovable red head ... :)

i really wish david could find a job he loves ... where they are good to him ... and he actually looks forward to going to work ... he just hates where he is right now and i feel so bad ... cause i know he doesn't want to be out of a job again ... and yet he just looks so sad all the time ... and there is nothing i can do for him ...
on a funny note ... i watched Crank Yankers tonight and it was so damn funny ... i need to watch that more often ... i was cracking up ...
today i got some decorations for the 4th of July ... i also got three small pictures to hang up ... one is a blue background with a lighter blue vase with 2 dasies in it ... the other has a beautiful orange background with one big sunflower in it ... the last one is very simple and it says 'exhale' and i hung that above the bed ... they all came out so nice ... i put them in those clear box frames and they already came matted ...
i should go to bed right now ... but i am not really tired ... maybe i'll give it a try ... at least for a little bit ... i can always get up and come read bloggers or something :)

I am kinda bummed out ... everyone seems so bent out of shape about having company for the 4th ... and it should be fun ... for everyone ...
ya know I really don't like when my mom fibs to me to illicit emotion ... she is trying to tell me that her and my dad were going to go away for the 4th of July but since I invited people to come and visit they can't go away now ... first of all I asked her before I invited anyone ... now I realize my main thing was that I wanted kris and Chevy to visit and they can't ... kris' doctor really thought she would be pregnant and they told her she couldn't fly till they heard a heartbeat which would not have happened by the 4th according to her envitro process ... so since kris and Chevy were coming ... and David's dad was so sad he was moving ... I thought it would be nice to invite his dad for the weekend as well ... and now everyone is all bent about it ...
ya know when I moved away my mom missed me terribly and would have loved to come spend the weekend with me ... well David's dad feels the same way ... so why can't she see that ... and just enjoy the weekend as much as possible ... I mean it isn't going to be easy on anyone ... David usually has enough of his dad after a couple of hours ...
I just want everyone to have a good time ... I guess I will try my hardest ... :)

it has been soooooooooo long since i have even looked at my own blogger i didn't even realize i hadn't set up the link June's archives ... that is just sad ... i could understand if i were really busy and didn't have time to write or work on the site ... but that isn't the case at all ... pity pity ...
I miss writing ... yet I have all the time in the world to do it and I don't ... maybe it is cause I have all the time in the world ... what would I say ... things like "still haven't found a job" ... "still stuck in the house" ... "still hot as hell outside" ... "still getting up at 4:30 in the morning to take David to the train" ... "still driving to the train at 6 at night to pick David up" ... "my life is still pretty boring" ...
I want a job ... and everyday I apply to more and more with no luck ... I have never had this much trouble finding a job ... David and I aren't going to buy a condo till I have a steady paycheck that isn't unemployment ... and speaking of unemployment mine runs out on July 17th ... so I don't have much more time ...
I am having trouble sleeping at night too ... I have taken to staying up way too late and getting about 2 hours of sleep ... then taking David to the train and coming home and getting back in bed around 6 or 6:30 in the morning and then sleeping till 10 ... it is a bad habit to be in cause when I do get a job I won't be able to do it ... but I guess it is better than conking out in the middle of the afternoon and taking a nap ... at least I am still waking up in the morning ...
I can't believe June is almost over ... David and I have been together a year and a half now and the time has flown by ... even with all the hardships ... I can't believe we have lived in the apartment at my parent's house for 4 months ... before we got here David said '3 months max' and now he is the one that would like to wait to get a condo ... I guess since he is gone for most of the day it doesn't seem like so much to him ... me on the other hand ... sometimes I feel like we have lived here a year already ...
I think one day this week I am going to take the train up to the city and meet David after work ... then I could go to the bead shop and get some groovy beads and we could go out to dinner or something ... at least I would get out of the house for a while ...
and I miss Heather ... she has been in Indonesia for almost a month now ... she gets back July 1st and I can hardly wait till she is back on US time and we can have a nice long talk ... a month with no talking is almost too much for me ...
David and I went to the post office on Saturday and sent everything off to get his passport ... and I think my parents have some frequent flyer miles that are going to expire ... so we are going to try and plan a trip to Europe ... David has never been ... and I have never been without my parents ... so it would be a great experience for both of us ... I think we are going to shoot for September ... go for two weeks ... spend a week in London and a week in Paris ... it will be great ...
well I should really try and get some sleep ... my alarm is going to go off in 4 hours ... and that is already too soon for me ... :)

my mom is going to wind up putting me in the nut house ... sometimes she mentally screws with me so much i don't know if i am coming or going ... and i don't know how much longer i can live in her house ... a job would help ... and everyday i apply to so many ... but that doesn't seem to help ... i just want to get out of here ... and i can't ...
she would be so upset seeing what i wrote ... she would say it is so untrue and how could i say such a thing ... but i sware ... sometimes she just screws with me ... she came down here a few minutes ago and was in a great mood ... and we had made plans for Father's Day ... and then i go upstairs to leave to go run errands and she is eratic and pissed off ... and mad that i am going out at that moment ... i said i could wait and she stomped upstairs ... so i just went and got coffee ... so i could do her banking and mine later this afternoon ... she was mad at that when i got home ... and said she is just going herself ...
earlier she told me i should just go out and do stuff before i pick up david ... when i got home and said that is what i was planning on doing she said she couldn't wait that long to have her banking done ... she would just go herself even though it is pouring out and she hates driving in the rain ... i mean what the fuck is up with that ... just do the opposite to screw with me ...
we looked at a great condo yesterday ... but now she is saying david and i should live here 6 more months ... save some more money ... fuck that is till December ... that would be a hell of a long time ... it would also mean that we would need to fix up a new place and move in the snow ... all hellish experiences since i have done them before ... she is just making me crazy ... and david doesn't understand it when he comes home from work ... he is all pissy about his job and thinks i live in the lap of luxury ...
i feel the state of crazy isn't too far off ...

sometimes I am not sure what my purpose for living is ... there are days where it feels like no one likes me the way I am and would like to change everything about me ... from what I look like ... to what I want to do for a living ... to how I dress ... to what I eat ... to what things interest me ... it is hard to deal with ...
today my parents were our running around and so was David ... I asked everyone to get me strawberries ... and no one brought them home for me ... and all of them went to a food store of some sort tonight ... ya know any fucking time someone asks me to get them something I do ... my mom asks for the paper or breadsticks or dessert ... David asks for coffee or food for breakfast or coffee and I get it ... and when I ask for something ... no one seems to remember to get it ... I don't think any of them realize how upset it made me ...
to night I went upstairs to say goodnight to my mom ... only to have her complain about me ... ya know last weekend they were mad at me cause David and I go out to eat on the weekend ... she said it isn't good for my diet and we should be saving money ... so this weekend we made dinner at home all weekend ... ya know David cooks for a living so he gets pretty fucking sick of cooking ... yet this weekend he cooked ... did my parents notice it at all ... fuck no they didn't ... instead my mom complained at how messy I am ... that I collect shit ... that I am a pack rat and that my apartment is always a mess ... she went further to say that they wanted to get us a big condo but decided I was too messy to have a big place ... then she went even further to say how great my brother's place is and that he and his wife don't collect shit and their place always looks nice ...
ya know if it weren't for me my brother and my parents wouldn't even be talking ... yet she uses them as a shinning example of how to live ... I think their condo is somewhat cold and unfriendly ... and lacks personality ... it isn't who I am at all ... but no one fucking cares who I am ... everyone just wants me to be someone else ... don't they see how much that hurts ...
sometimes I wish I could just disappear ... start over ... be who I want to be without anyone saying otherwise ... and that just can't happen ... I can't stop crying now ... and my body just aches ... I really feel like nothing I do is good enough for anyone ...
I noticed today that I have stopped eating ... I eat dinner ... and that is it ... I didn't eat one single thing today ... the only thing that went into my mouth was coffee and water all day ... except when everyone is around and I should be eating ... when I felt like I had control over my life I was bulimic ... i could easily swallow a package of 40 ex-lax in a day ... without a second thought ... it wasn't till i was hospitalized for the 3rd time that i realized i had a problem ... 10 years this went on ... i had to teach my body how to work all over again ... it has now been 9 years since i have taken a laxative ... and i feel like i have lost control of my life ... that the only thing i can control is what i eat ... or don't eat ... even though i know how bad it is i see myself stepping closer and closer to that ... i am 32 years old and everyone around me is telling me what to do ... and who to be ... and who i am ... it isn't something i like in the least ...
i guess the only time i seem to write anymore is when i am unhappy ... this blog should really be called "lizzies shitty life"
