So it's Wednesday. I took off Thursday and Friday this week, and I also have Monday off. 5 Day weekend. Oh yeah!!! I need it too. SO i am working my ass off today to make sure nothing comes up in my absence. 1/2 thru the day as I write this. I don't have any real plans for these next few days... I would like to camp a little. I want to goto Annapolis for the 4th, to see my Grandparents on my Dad's side, but I also want my girlfriend to go. She would really like it there i think, it is very relaxing. But, she has anxiety problems, and I think she is scared that that may act up while we are up there. I do understand, but i am kinda bummed that we are not going anymore. I think my Dad's family was really looking forward to meeting her, as I have spoken very highly of her. So i think we might camp instead...or something. I want to do somehting semi-romantic for the whole fireworks thing. Alone in the woods, by a campfire, watching some city's distant fireworks...that sounds semi-romantic? no? we shall see. so my can has been leakig some stange fluid, and i am due for a saftey inspection by....today. SO tomorrow i will take my car into the shop. great, more bills. my condo association says i cannot have firewood on my deck between may 1 and october 1. what a crock of shit. what if i want a fire in the summer? what? it's possible.... anyways, i am pretty fucking pissed over this whole thing, i mean, i have a fire place, i bought the wood. it just seems a little much to have a rule limiting what month you can have firewood. the wood was fresh cut, and uncured this last winter, giving it the time to cure, will make it burn a lot better this coming winter, so i bought a lot on purpose. fucking old poeple with nothing better to do. I am gonna get these people back in a non-violent/districtive way before i leave there....mark my words. I have purchased a steam-cleaner, and have been steam cleaning my place a little bit at a time. i figured the carpets were shot, but i think this stteam-cleaner could do the trick. dumping that water is fucking nasty though. both cats had their private parts removed. well, not really, but they both got fixed. We (kim and I) opted to keep their claws for now, it's the humane thing to do. They live in separate houses right now, her with me, and him with her. i am a little sad about that, them being separated, but i am sure we will be able to reunite them at a later date. the girl, Gracie, is kinda bitchy to the dude (Tarzan) everytime we bring them together now. i say they just need some time together. we shall see. ok, well, tons to get done before 5pm. peace.

tuesday...my broke ass friend is here. he doesn't even have money to drive back to school. i guess i will be hooking him up with some dought to help him get back. i took my girl cat, Gracie, into the vet today to get her womanhood removed. the boy, Tarzan, goes in next week. i was up until about 4am last night, going on 3 1/2 hours of sleep today. surprisingly, i wasn't too tired today, and i got a good bit of work done. they day acctualy went by pretty quick. Bad Santa comes out on DVD today, and I may go pick it up tonight. I have been lucky enought to pick up a Gmail Beta account, and i acctually got 6 invites that i gave out yesterday. i am really liking the gmail. it's much better, in my opinion, than any other exhisting web mail i know of. My dog, Shiloh, is asking me to take her out, so i am gonna jet. late.

problems with the lady right now....sucks, but i think we can work thru it. i feel like shit today. i am sore. i played 9 holes of glof yesterday, without having eaten all day and drinking about 4 beers during. i payed for 18, but my body pretty much quit on me. i guess i am pretty outta shape. it's friday, and i don't feel like doing shit tonight, so i won't...later.

so, anyone want to guess how much it costs to cure a cats "tummy ache"? did you guess $625.00? If you did, you are correct! can you fucking believe that? holy shit. i am officially going into the curing cats of "tummy aches" business. ...Where is this coming from you ask? so my cat got sick and was pissing and shitting all over the house. So of course, we rushed him to the 24 hour vet. I guess they ran every immaginable test on him to find out what was wrong, to no avail. we called abotu 4 times on Sunday to check on him, and each time, he was "doing great" and everyone there loved him and he seemed to be acting like his normal self, from, what i was being told. however, they insisted on keeping him there for "observation" the entire day. also, without asking, i was given "economic updates" on what our running total was. I asked how much more it would cost to keep him over night, and I was told it would be "a few more shots and other things" keep in mind, they can't really find anything wrong, yet, he needs a few more shots if he stays overnight. so i tell them screw that, i am coming to pick him up. so i do, and as I am being handed the bill, I ask the male receptionist ((gay) <---and i am not just saying that cause he is a male receptionist, i am saying that because of the uber-gay lisp he had.) what was wrong with Tarzan (the cat) , he looks over things and tells me it looks like he just had a "tummy ache"...as I am handed this $625 bill. WOW. WOW. WOW. Hey kids, what does this spell: S C A M.

not too much going on today. i am just sitting at my desk, getting some work done. my shirt badly wrinkled today. good thing for me i have not, and probably will not see my boss today. i feel like writing a short story, so there may be one up here today or tomorrow....or not, we'll see. I had Taco Bell for lunck today, and I am feeling very full and a little naucious at the moment. i hate biting into hard stuff (bone?) when i am eating something with ground beef in it! Always happens at Taco Bell and I always swear it off for a few months. Speaking of swearin off fast-food chains, it has been nearly a month since I had any McDonalds. YAY!

bleh....Monday. Enough said? This morning was one of those mornings when I really wanted to call out of work. I laid there for about 1/2 hour and tried to think of a good excuse. In the end, I decided it would be better for me to goto work, so I got my lazy ass up and jumped into the shower. I talked to my girlfriend on the way in, which was nice. I was glad she called. It only took me about 35 minutes to get into work this morning, and I was actually on time, even though I slept in an extra 1/2 this morning. Go figure. I didn't really do much this weekend. I cleaned my place on Friday night, it looks better, but there are still a lot of things to do. I took Kim's sister to the movies on Saturday. We saw Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Akbizan. It was good, except we were sitting in the very front row on the far right side, so we did not have an "ideal" view, so to speak. For anyone who has seen the first Harry Potter, did you know you can now buy the every flavor jelly beans? Yeah, and they really do flavor them in flavors such as: vomit, spaghetti, bugger, spinach, grass, earthworm, dirt, black pepper, etc... Interesting stuff. Half the fun is trying to get your friends to eat them. So the 5th season of the Sopranos came to an end last night. What an end it was. Looking forward to the next and final? Season, due out sometime next year? I started reading the book "The DeVinci Code" by Dan Brown, last night. So far, it's really good, and I only expect it to get better. Surprisingly, everyone I mention the book to, is either currently reading it, has read it, or has heard of it and wants to read it. I would say those are a few sure signs of a good book! Well, I really should get back to work. Later.

So my younger brother moves to California today to start a new job. He has been away at school for the last 5 years, and I was there with him for half that time, but now he will be 3000 miles away. Not that I won't go visit him, but it is sad to have your best friend move so far away. Although, I am extremely proud of him and I am also very excited for him. I think my whole family is torn. I don't think this was an easy decision for him to make, but I think maybe it is the right decision for now. On a lighter note: he is about 1 1/2 hours from Lake Tahoe, so I will be getting in some West Coast snowboarding this winter. Anyways, best of luck brother, your family is behind you all the way, but we will miss you very much.

Well, she got fired. Yesterday. About damn time. I wasn't in on Tuesday, but when I got back here on Wednesday, I heard she was given the cold shoulder by just about everyone here, and she did not bother to come in on Wednesday. They called her and told her Wednesday afternoon. I guess I heard she called here this morning begging and crying for her job back....Which fell on deaf ears. People, my employer is fucking awesome. We have it made here, and we all know it. This girl is/was so fucking stupid to let this job slip. Good luck in the job hunt....Bitch!
