Snow and cold weather

I was born in December and used to love the snow and demanded it on my birthday.... now I hate it. Its too cold out today and I was sad to see the little bit of snow we got. My car has no heat so I freeze for an hour every day driving back and forth from class. I love heat. Not sticky heat but I love to be warm... My room is usually 75 or hotter at all times if possible.... I need to get my car fixed so I dont freeze.... Then maybe I'll like the snow like I used to.

Work...

Sucks! well I love working at Starbucks but recently I just don't want to go in and I dread having to work.... Maybe its because of the chain game when a manager has something to talk to you about and instead tells ten other people first..... or the fact that I'm always stuck on drive thru which is making me sick. Literally. I think I'm getting a cold. Or maybe its the woderful way that when I'm on drive thru I have to clean all the dishes and just clean random things and the solutions we use and towels we use dry out my skin and/or eat at my skin and now on two of my knuckles I now have a wonderful burning skin irritation. It dried out my skin and caused it to crack then the wonderful chemicals we use get into the cuts and turn it all red and sore. Oh and those towels... a weird material that snags on dry skin and rips like sandpaper.... Sounds gross I know. Luckily it doesnt look too bad. Its just red and with some cuts. But still. Im headed into work now and not looking forward to it at all.... All I can think of is how happy I will be when I am clocking out for the night. I cant wait for Saturday (its my only day off this week). Well I hope your day is going to be better than mine...

Crafts


I like to scrapbook and do various crafts. Recently I have been going to workshops with my mom for the Stampin Up groups. Theres one workshop that is anything but a card, where you make different things like candy holders, photo abums, cd cases and so on but never a card. There is another group where all you learn to make is cards for various occassions... Well now I'm in this kick where I like making different things. My first craft I did that I thought up all on my own (minus the template on how to actually make the item) was a miniture book that you could add pictures, quotes, little notes to, etc and give to someone. I was pretty proud of it. So here it is...


Did this really just happen?

I was at work last night and when I walked from the back room to the lobby (at Starbucks) I had to ask myself if what I just saw really had happened. A man had come storming into the store and was yelling towards the registers saying "Have all your shit out of the house by the time I get home!" I couldnt believe it and for a minute thought I misheard him and really Penny (my shift manager) had just really upset a customer. I found out a little bit later that what I had heard was right and the angry man was yelling at the lady customer that was at the register. She had come in with a man who I thought was her boyfriend or husband. But that was the problem.. he wasnt. The man who had come in and yelled at her was the husband and she had showed up at Starbucks with this mystery man. The lady and her mystery man stood in Starbucks for a good hour while she was on the phone fighting with I'm assuming was the husband. Micah, another co-worker who was making drinks, had said that when the husband came in Micah was making a drink and thought he had broke the espresso machine because something had hit him and fallen to the floor. What it really was was the husband had thrown his wedding band at the lady as he said to get her things out of his house and had bad aim and it really hit Micah. Micah didnt know what to do and was in shock like me, Penny and any other customer in the store, so he just picked up the ring and handed it to the lady. Eventually the mystery man got in a car and left alone and the lady went the other direction.

Haha.... oh the drama that happens at Starbucks. =P I can finally say I dont always miss the good stuff that happens.

Credit Cards, Cellphone Bills & Cars

I hate all three =[ I paid double the minimum payment due for my credit card this past week because it was due today and when I called to make sure the money transfer went through, the card company had said they didnt recieve it yet!

Then with my cellphone bill... I have to pay it by the end of the week. Blah. I have the money for it, but I have to wait until my dad pays me back for buying some things for him in town. And as with most bills, its not the best timing to have it due.

Finally my car... Its a piece of junk... Its been broken since day one it seems. I recently had to get a new alternator, battery, water pump, and holding tank put in. And it cost a lot =[ And I still have no heat in my car which I have been trying to get fixed since last september.... Its cold driving to school damn it! And I spend way too much money on gas driving to school and work everyday.

I really need one of these:
money tree Pictures, Images and Photos
Anyone know where I can find one?
oh well... for now I'll just keep wishing money really grew on trees...

My Movie Review For Quarantine

The movie Quarantine was terrible. It wasnt scary at all and if anything made me feel dizzy and sick to my stomach because of the camera view. It was filmed from the viewpoint of an actual camera man that was an actor in the movie. They were filming the life of a firefighter for tv and it ended up going wrong. It was a bad mix of the filming style from the Blair Witch Project mixed with a similar plot line to 28 Days Later or any movie where an unidentified disease starts in an animal and gets spread from person to person by the infected attacking the non-infected. It made me so dizzy from all of the movement of the camera. It was dropped on the floor, pushed around, held while the cameraman was running, even used as a murder weapon to one of the "infected". Even if I looked at the wall to take my eyes off of the screen I still got dizzy from seeing so many changes in lighting because of how the camera was moved. I actually ended up leaving before the end of the movie because I felt that if I stayed any longer I was going to throw up from being so dizzy.

If anyone was thinking about seeing this movie I suggest you think again. It should have a motion sickness warning to the viewers rather than the R rated warning.

Friday Morning...

I should be excited about getting my paycheck today but I dont feel well and really just want to go back to bed.

Guests checked in last night at my parents bed and breakfast... They are pretty strange. After school I get to go there and clean their room and leave them little candies on their pillow.... how fun.

Busy Week

This week is only half over and I have already had a busy week. I
handed an eighteen page paper in to my english teacher, unpacked a lot of boxes
at my house, had a couple tests, was introduced to more projects that I will
have to do soon, read chapters and chapters of information for school,
etc. I also have the responsibility of taking care of the Bed & Breakfast that my family owns while my mom and her husband are in Boston for the week working at a food show. This involves greeting guests, helping them when they have questions or anything, checking the websites emails, calling people back that have called and left messages throughout the day, taking down reservations, getting the mail, changing over the rooms, checking people out, cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning, taking care of my moms pets, etc. Oh and still have time to do homework and go to my job. And to top it all off the new medicine my doctor put me on for my heart problems and anxiety is making me not feel well.

I don't know what else to write in here besides venting about my stressful week, so I'm done for now. bye.
