I tried to write last night

 

May 15, 1999

I tried to write last night but I was too blown away by the events that occurred ... so I thought I would wait till this morning ... till it sunk in some more ... and the part that blew me away is about a book I will talk about in a bit ... I told work I had to go to a temp agency because I needed to make more money and they were so cool about it ... I can still work there on days when I don't have an assignment and they are fine with that ... even if I call them last minute to tell them I have a job ... I will really miss sue and everyone there when I leave for good ... the job may get boring ... but the people there are wonderful!! I made some bitchen star wars magnets to mail to Clint since they are all freaks about it in his office ... and I had so many people asking me about the package cause of the star wars stickers all over it ... and I didn't even know how to answer ... I mean my family fell asleep when we saw it at the drive in in the 70's and I never saw it again until the re-release a couple of years ago ... so I have only seen it the one time ... and never the other episodes ... I just kept telling people they were star wars magnets for a star wars freak I know ... and I knew nothing about the movie ... which really makes people look at you like you have the plague ... it was pretty much a lot of the same old same old when I got home ... although I talked to a friend of mine in Kansas, Greg, that I hadn't spoken to in about 5 years and it was like we picked up where we left off ... his voice sounded the same and we caught up on each others lives ... he is thinking of going home to Detroit for a bit and then moving to Arizona ... which means we may see each other again someday ... probably in Vegas ... seems to be a great place for me to meet up with friends in Arizona ... a friend sent me a link to two bitchen web sites that I have had a lot of fun with ... www.anagramgenius.com and www.phonespell.org they are so fun ... some of the anagrams for my name just cracked me up ... like "OK! she's the lesbian rear" or "OK! able trashiness here" or "She is berserk, neat halo" or "OK! her kissable earnest" man I love anagrams ... they are so fun!! ... ack!! geek alert geek alert!! Well I made a Starbucks run late ... and when I came home Clint was online and we started to talk about Greek Mythology ... a most favorite subject of mine growing up ... and I started to tell him about this book I got as a kid ... that I just love ... shortened versions of all the stories with fabulous photos ... he asked if it was "D'Aulaires'" book ... and that just blew me away ... next thing I knew he held it up and I saw the exact book I was looking at ... I held mine up ... and just tripped out on the whole experience ... so much so I got shivers ... and am getting them again typing about this ... I don't know anyone who has ever even heard of the book ... let alone have it and love it ... it was just one of those experiences that gives you a great feeling ... and takes its time sinking in ... I actually got so excited about the Greek myths that before I went to bed I started reading the book again ... and it was so great ... Kramer actually came and sat next to me so I started reading out loud ... then I thought ... geezzz Liz he isn't a kid he is a cat ... when I stopped ... he got up and put his paw on my hand and looked up at me ... when I started to read aloud again ... he laid back down next to me ... and put his face on his paws ... it was so damn cute ... and kinda fun to read aloud to someone ... And now I am off to go shopping with my mom before she flies back to Maryland tomorrow ... which even though I HATE going shopping ... I need to cause I need new work clothes and it isn't my money I have to spend ... hahahahaaa ... I was going to spend the night but she gets so stressed out when she is traveling ... and Harley has been spending a lot of time sleeping with me ... that I am going to come home tonight ... that way I can sleep in tomorrow too ... it has been a while since I was able to sleep in and I am looking quite forward to it ... well I am off ... I am sure I will have more to write later
