ahhhhh so I am averaging about 12 hours of work a day ... sure is different from the like 2 I was working before I moved from Cali ... {smile} ... but it sure leaves little time for ... well I don't know what for but it leaves little "me" time ... which is probably good in a way ... cause I am really really really broke lately ... ahhhh but eventually it will all come together ... I am sure of that ... Chevy's mom left yesterday morning ... and last night Kris and I went to the airport to pick up her 14 year old niece Kristy ... who is just a sweetie ... at a rough point in life ... but so much potential ... god having kids has gotta be so hard ... saying the right things isn't easy ... so anyway she was stuck at home today ... and I had a 3 PM meeting ... so I left work for a while ... came and picked her up ... and took her to The Draft House for lunch ... this groovy restaurant I love ... anyway ... it was fun hanging out ... and I didn't want her to be home all day by herself ... and I thought ... I might be the easiest one to talk to since I am not a relative ... cause I know there are things on her mind ... there are things on every 14 year olds mind ... who is getting ready to start high school ... in a new city ... and is boy crazy ... hahahahaaa ... so anyway ... my 3 o'clock meeting didn't start till after 4 ... but went wonderfully ... I am digging my new job ... I am still a bit worried ... but I dig it ... so I was about an hour late for work at the pizza place ... which they totally understand ... I just hate missing the money ... and this week my tips have sucked ... big time ... when I got home tonight there was a package sitting on the front porch ... and I knew just what it was ... a package from my mom via Nordstroms ... 2 new pairs of Dr. Martins ... sweet docs in fact ... dressier ... which is good cause they are the only shoes I like to wear ... and my sandals aren't always appropriate ... hahahaa ... Kristy was hanging out in my room on the computer when I got home ... and saw me open the new shoes ... and totally loved them ... she and I hung out for a while ... and now I am in here writing ... and working ... I have been teaching myself Java ... to improve my web skills and it is pretty cool ... I am getting it so far which is a good thing ... I have wanted to learn Java for sometime now ... but ya know it is much easier to do something when you have a reason to be motivated ... and especially when you are getting paid to learn it ... Kris and I decided we should stay in this weekend ... which I am so happy about ... neither of us really has the money to go out ... and Kristy is here ... and next weekend Kris' whole family will be out here for her birthday ... so this way I can save up to get Kris' skates ... ohhh I am so excited ... I hope she doesn't hate it as a gift ... I guess if she does we can always return them for something else ... although I will definitely be keeping mine ... hahahahaa cause I have wanted a pair of roller skates for a while now ... and I think I will make some of those goofy pom poms to put on the package for Kris ... as kind of a hint ... he he hehe he he man I am a dork ... ahhh but who cares ... I think that is part of my charm ... my friend Hazen from Kentucky will be here on the 18th ... I can hardly wait ... he is such a sweetie ... he and I started talking online over a year and a half ago ... he randomly found my AOL profile ... and IMed me one day ... and we have been talking ever since ... last summer when I was living in North Carolina ... he came to meet me ... we only got to spend a few hours hanging out ... but it was fun ... we have a perfect relationship ... we will always be friends ... he is a total hottie ... and when we first started talking he said he has always had a problem with girls that he thought were good friends one day saying "Hazen I like you" ... and I said ... "Well sweets ... I will make you a promise right now ... I will never ever say that to you ... this way you can always trust my advice because I won't have an ulterior motive" ... and it has worked great ever since ... hahahahaaa he and I can talk about anything and everything ... and we know we are getting sound advice from each other ... so now he and his brother and sister and their spouses are coming out here for 5 days ... so Hazen and I will get to hang out a bunch ... another reason I need to save up some money ... well I have rambled on for quite sometime now ... and it is late ... I have another long long day ahead of me and I should get some ZzZzZzZs ... ahhh in fact a bed is sounding quite comfy right now ...
