Rain Rain
by I hope it stops raining soon, this is getting old. It's supposed to be nice for the next few days, but then I have a feeling next week is going to be crappy with that tropical storm/hurricane on its way up here.
In other news, my brother gets married on monday!

so during down time at a wedding I photography myself. lol. just kidding, hah i really liked the mirror and thought it be a cool idea.
this is so cool! I love how the flash wasn't captured in the first mirror, but in the imagme of the mirror behind you. It almost felt like it had bounced several times, before being caught on film.
It's almost 2am here in AZ, and I can't sleep. A combination of stress, insomnia, and sugar high. It's almost 5 am on the east coast....maybe I should go to bed now.
Hey, can someone explain to me how to play Manhunt? You can EZ message it to me if you want.
Today didn't totally suck. I actually have been getting sick over the course of the past week, and it hit me last night....hard. I got the body aches, shivers then hot, and my throat was on fire. I woke up this morning feeling the same, minus the body aches. I SOOOOO didn't want to go out in service, especially because Adam, under the impression I was not feeling well enough to go out, let me sleep until 8, which is a lot later than I should have. SO I woke up late, feeling crummy. And promptly went out into the living room and said to Adam,
"I'm planning on going out in service this morning, so you might want to iron a shirt or something."
That's my "being nice" when I'm sick, hahahah. It was good though....the boys came out in service with me, and we had a good morning. Only 43 hours left!!!! Then we had a couple over from the hall, and had a good time. It's nice to get to know new friends. I like it here. :)
:(
This weekends weddings are gunna suck if it doesn't break at all.I HOPE it breaks EVEN for 15 minutes ATLEAST.
Oh well
today kind of reminds me how my wedding day was, It was pretty much a tornado watch day also.
So, someone out here in our hall that I know, got reinstated last night. I hadn't seen or talked to them in almost 2 years, so it was good to see they were doing well. And Tyler was happy too. He got to talk to him, and Tyler told him he missed him. Apparently this almost made the person cry.
I love how kids can be so innocent, so loving, not hood grudges, and just love their friends and family. I sometimes wish I were like that.
I am so bored.....and exhausted. I just spent 4 hours with my sister in laws, watching a bunch of guys talk about football. Ugh.
Oh, how quickly your stesses have changed.
I am stoked about all your good news this week! Especially the aux. pio! Remember you have to let us do research and stuff if you have an interesting call, or need info stat, that way we can feel a part, and contribute to your expanded service!
Hahaha....yeah, the stress is VERY minimal now. It could have been worse....they could have been WATCHING football, hahaha. At least the girls and I got to sit in the kitchen and gab while we ate pizza and made cookies. Good times.
Yeah, I'm very excited. My sister in law, Leah, was kind of part of what motivated me to do it this month. She's a regular pioneer, and we were out in service today from 8 to 2, and I've always loved working with her in service. I don't know why, but she's a huge encouragement to me. Anyways, she was trying to help me decide if I should accept the Mayo job, and we weighed the pros and cons, and once I decided to take it, she mentioned aux pioneering this month, which I hadn't really even thought about. She even said she'd help me with a schedule, and that if I worked with her and stayed on the schedule she does, I'd have well over 50 hours by the end of the month.
This is why I love it here.....such great encouragement.
So Ezabel, I have TWO big important facets of news.
Numero Uno....I GOTS ME A JOB!!!!!
Not the restaurant one, because they didn't call back in time. It's working for the local Mayo Clinic. Good hours, good pay, and SOOOO close to where we live. Unfortunately, they don't have another training class until the 25th of this month, which means I have another 3 or 4 weeks of free time. Which leads me to good news facet #2....
Numero Dos.....I'M AUXILIARY PIONEERING THIS MONTH!!!!
I went out in service today for 5 hours, and during the course of the day, decided that's what I would do with my free time. What better way to spend my next 3 weeks off, right?
That's all my big news....for now.
Woohoo! Good job!
Thanks!!!! I'm super happy. :)
I've been praying for you so much, and this is such awesome, awesome news! If you could see me smiling right now...
Aw, thanks!! Things are finally working out for us, and I feel SOOO good about my decision. The other job would have paid more, but this just seemed like the right choice.
YAY I'm so excited for you ESPECIALLY the AUXILLARY PIONEERING part... me and a girldfriend of mine will be supporting eachother for next month =)
WOOT!!!! Go YOU!!!!
No no GO YOU! *literally pushes K out door*
LOL!!!!
YIPPPPEEEE!!!!! congrats (all around)!!!! :)
Ok. I'm bored again. Anyone on IM?
ERNESTO! PORQUE?!?! YOU LEAVE ME POWERLESS

The Google Image Labeler is so much fun
http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/
Pretty good idea, too. I wonder how well it will work for them, and if it really will improve their results.
so who caught the VMA's last night?
anything good?
any highlights worth watching on youtube?
not a lot. MAYBE jack white's band playing with lou reed and that gibbon dude from zz top. that was awesome. also some of the design things were pretty cool. DESIGN-WISE, beyonce's performace was awesome.
i did....fergie was HOT on the pre show. shakira was double hot cause she is hot and she was wearing my fav color. beyonce....gorgeous. Um jack black was funny....sarah silverman, was a waste of camera. OHHHH i really liked Justin Timberlake dancing...that boy has some moves!
i don't like fergie but i approve of her trying to bring "oh snap" back
YOUTUBE you are my love eternal
beyonce's performance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohyNJbvPmCE
btw I really like her new stuff, and I have always disliked everything and anything about Beyonce
she is getting a lot of flack for Ring the Alarm but I LOVE it!!!
Lots of good stuff on the VMA's, i really enjoyed it...jack black sucked as a host, he was not funny at all. Great performances: justin timberlake, beyonce, OK GO (i can't believe they performed) panic at the disco, the all american rejects.
and i was suuuuuuuuuuper happy that AFI won the award for best rock video! i love them, and i love that song.
also, really happy about Panic winning video of the year...good stuff!
WHATS UP EZABEL!!
I AM EATING A WATERMELON!!!
um yeah that' the most interesting thing happenin right now
this weather is not fun
Oooh. I love watermelon. I should run by a farm stand and get some tonight.
Done.
is it dripping down your elbows?
Is it already raining down there?
it is drizzling, the wind is pretty strong, it's just not pleasant to be outside
I have a wedding tomorrow, it's not gonna be fun
ERNESTO!!! PORQUE?!?!?
Chris and I have been acting like spanish soap opera stars, calling out to ERNESTO!!
come on try it it's fun
put on your most dramatic deep voice, and spanish accent, and say
ERNESTO!! PORQUE!! PORQUE ME TORMENTAS?!?!
I think everyone in the office would look at me strangely if I did that right now. :)
it's so fun. I just did it again but i also added like fake crying sobbing type noises
haha
Te he I remember I wanted to make a Telenovela last year, still might do this.
:-) it is fun... I think the people in the office next door heard.. haha!
POR QUE NO ME QUIERES COMO LO QUIERO?? Te odio con todo mi vida...
lolololol
you're right it is fun...
Is it an outdoor wedding? Well, I mean, was it supposed to be one?
yeah outdoor ceremony, and outdoor photos in a really nice vineyard
that's PROBABLY not happenin
the ceremony isn't till 6 p.m. so i can just HOPE HOPE HOPE it's gonna pass by then...
It might have passed by then. I guess it depends where you are in NJ. The forecast for the southern cities seems to be morning rain and scattered t-storms later.
yeah the wedding is a little south-west of me.. so hopefully we'll be okay!!!
Yesterday I had one task for the whole afternoon so I put on this mix I made it's got anything and everything including some Arabic and Punjabi tunes.
It was sort of awkward when my a co-worker happened by and wanted to hear, I held the earphones up for her and then she walked away with this dumb look on her face... HUMPH 'tard MYOB no one asked you to impose on my tunes =P
"HUMPH 'tard MYOB no one asked you to impose on my tunes =P" = the funniest sentence I've seen in a while, mostly for use of the word "humph". :)
I guess I have this to talk about:

"Tomkitten's" 'first poop' goes on display in New York
same "artist" that made that nude sculpture of britney spears. what a wacko
You know, I didn't think that whole situation could _get_ weirder.
Good job, Tom.
sicko
can be a meaningful memento
thats a huge poop for an invisible baby
How do you know what size poops are usual for invisible babies?
this is wrong on soo many levels
Don't you hate it when it feels like your life is on hold indefinitely?
Hello, I have nothing to talk about!
really how does that make you feel...
Do you have to give a roast speech Monday? embarrassing stories growing up? If so you all done? If not try your material out on us... bozo hasn't been around for so long...
haha, i don't have to give any kind of speech as far as i know. and i really don't plan on it!
HEAR YE, HEAR YE! *bell clanging* Hear ye!
I call on all those eZabeler's deemed worthy of attending hear said nuptials, to ply our leader with potent potables, wherein saturation levels have been sufficiently accomplished to ensure verbal diarrhea please begin video taping and hand gameboy a microphone, THEN, and only then, have him say a few words for the happy couple!
:-P
So lets get this strait... Dan your bored, you feel welcomed back home BUT it is a crazy time for you, life is precious, and yet your still lonely? Does that sum it up...
Everybody feels a degree of all these things... it is all about how you deal with it!
So chin up. Take comfort in that your not alone both with friends and FRIENDS that can empathize! *SMILE*
Hahaha. Very interesting. I was just listing a bunch of songs that I've been listening to just now. No real hidden meaning.
You're right that I am in a very unusual mood though. :)
And it's amazing how close you came to how I'm feeling in spite of that...
Good thing I didn't mention some of the other songs...
This is boring people!
One More Song of the Moment:
System of a Down - Lonely Day
Yet Another Song of the Moment:
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
I love gnarls barkley's "transformer"
i love that whole album

I don't think I've heard that. I'll have to check it out...
Another Song of the Moment:
Rise Against - Swing Life Away
Song of the Moment:
Coheed & Cambria - Welcome Home
Is that a very, very long song? I 'found' it 8.6MB for a 192kbps file seems big?
BORING!!Boring people!! Mikey dance for us, ok! BUT please keep your shirt on most here just had lunch :-

Hey guys, how's everyone doing this morning?
Sweet!!! Looks like high of 80's with clear skys until at least Tuesday! PLUS the less loved boss is already gone for the weekend! Whoo Hoo!!
ugh too much oreos and milk uuuuuuuuugggggggggghhhhhhhhhh
/topics/show/4311
this thread offends me i think, such hateorade going on in there!
it was a very passionate couple of days, was it just the tone or Joe do you have an opinion...
I got golden oreos right now :-)
no opinion, just some strong conversation going back and forth in there
tru dat, it was like an after school special when the parents fight, it was just uncomfortable.
hey... any more deliveries to the place with the in ground trampoline.. if so is it possible to get a few good jumps before getting to the front door?
I guess.....everyone is at their meeting, maybe? What is it, almost 8:00 on the east coast? Hard to believe it's only 5:00 here.
Probably. I should probably be at the meeting too, but I figure it's ok since I visited the Portugese congregation yesterday.
Hahaha....yeah, you got your spiritual food, hahaha.
In a sense, I guess. I didn't understand most of it. :) More than I expected to understand, but still...
mmmm oreos, and no meeting, we have two day back to backers
OMG!!!! That was THE most nervewracking interview EVER!!!!!! I was sweating BULLETS!!
Do you think it went well, though?
Yeah. I do think it went really well....he just asked a lot of questions you don't normally think about, so coming up with answers off the top of your head is kinda tough.
He was SUPER nice, but still very intimidating, hahaha.
Cool. I hope you get the job.
Thanks, me too. I actually just got a call back from a job I interviewed for Tuesday, offering me the job. I'd be working for the local Mayo Clinic, working with patients, registering them and everything. That job is tons closer, but pays less, and I don't know if I would enjoy it as much. But it IS a job, and I haven't been offered the other job yet....I told the lady I would discuss it with my husband and call her tomorrow.....so hopefully today's job calls me before tomorrow afternoon.
YOU ALL SUCK!! PA SUCKS! CALI SUCKS... um... everyone and everything sucks!
untwist your panties
HA! I don't care how late I am this is classic Janine at her best.
Hi Livy!
No!, anything today would be welcome... its been kinda dead.
Yay! Someone other than me or monster posting!
How's it going?
You two are cracking me up such desperation...I only popped on to check out the Best Buy site to see if my laptop's been shipped but, you're making feel so bad for you.
:D I'm not too proud to refuse sympathy conversation. lol. What type of laptop?
i'm having such a great day! :)
Do tell.
there's the diet going well and then there's a bouquet waiting for me at home.
Oooh! From a gentleman caller?
hehe yep!
A new beau!!
Who uses words like that? Are you guys in a Jane Austen novel or something?
Yes, yes we are. I'm Emma.
You're Alicia Silverstone?
Emma Thomphson is a blight to all Austen fans. Mr. Darcy is like god.
In what way is Mr. Darcy like god? He's an arrogant, anti-social jerk. Loyal to his friends, but still...
those are romantic words and we like to use them!
Hey, I like Jane Austen, so no offense meant. :)
I just never hear people talk that way.
We got sidetracked here - details on the new guy!!!
KAM/CHRIS....YUMMMMY

nevermind pictionary. drink the tequila.
NERVES!!!! They're getting the best of me!!
did you have your interview yet???
Why is no one talkative?
Whatcha wanna talk about?
Um....stuff....and how awesome it is out west, hehehe.
You're liking AZ?
No...I'm LOVING AZ. I feel like, despite the stress, it's been a really positive move for us. I feel more motivated spiritually, and emotionally I feel better too.
That's cool. It's good that you're so positive about it. A move like that is always tricky. I remember when we moved from Mass. to San Diego it was a huge change and there were a bunch of new things to get used to. And, like you said, it was really stressful.
How did you move your stuff? Did you rent a truck and move yourself? Or did you go with a moving company?
We're currently being....um, how do I put this nicely?....let's just say we're not being treated fairly by the company that moved us. They underestimated us by over 3,000 pounds, and now say it's our fault because we apparently took more than we originally said we would. (Which is not true, because we had TWO garage sales, and sold our dining room table and chairs, Tyler's bed, AND our 55 inch widescreen TV, in order to keep the weight down....ridiculous.
We had a moving company move all our stuff. The entire move was paid for by my dad's company since they moved the entire company, and most of the senior staff from Burlington, MA to San Diego, CA. So, we didn't really have much to worry about as far as the moving expenses. Selling our old house was fairly worrisome, though. I think we closed escrow the day the company was going to stop paying for temporary housing.
That sucks that they're being like that. How did they mis-estimate the weight by that much in the first place?
Well, the company is called Brendamour, and they deal with Mayflower. The guys that came out to load our stuff actually told us that the company's nickname is "Bend Over More", for obvious reasons. Apparently the purposely underestimate, and don't lock the estimate into a definite price, so that when it comes back as more, the customer gets screwed.
Adam has been emailing the owner back and forth, and the guy is freaking out because Adam has let him know about the disappointment, and that the customer survey he takes will reflect that. Apparently it greatly impacts their business.
Boring
You know, you're not really a conversational gem yourself, bucko.
I just called a record store in town that claims to be "punk" and asked if they had a new release. The girl said they didn't, and I asked if they carry any albums from Dischord, and she said "Uh, uh, Dischord? I don't know. Is that a company?" I have to get out of this town.
um... you live in PA... lol what do you expect?
Actually it's the exact opposite near me, EVERYONE is into punk, I actually don't like it, it's too trendy. But stil, a lot of my stuff is still underground. haha
nah this is PA, i dont believe either of you...
htown is all about the punk underground... and im hot, so i win.
yay
Blah....
I'm not talking yellowcard or blink or any of that crap - the Dischord label had pioneers like minor threat and government issue. Good old school stuff.
Let's not start this again, dude. You live in a tiny town in western NJ. No one's impressed.
hahahahaha
and you live in pa.... that has no real towns just wide open space and hicks... you lose.
Um, hello? The CITY I live in is like 10 times the size of yours, has a college and a university. You lose and you have to stop this.
um... you still live with hicks... its PA... you lose, you lose all your points and um... i win. Yay for me.
You grew up on a dirt road in Warren County! Hick central, man. Infiniti.
wait... um... you still live in PA....
you cant fight the logic...
mike your redneck past is pretty surprising. a DIRT road? whew.
its true and to this day that road is still not paved. its not like the situation has improved. but truth be told he only lives there when kt is mad at him for not taking out the garbage.
hahaha - pwnd
yeah, he's done. and with a name like mikey joe? he should just hang up the shoes and tooth brushes and accept his lot.
Ask me I know about all 6,323,204 punk bands
Better watch your back 6am. j-mango will have your throat
haha i hate 6 a.m.!!

Too bad it's in the cancer capital of NJ. LOL!
Opinion: I know you're not allowed to bring liquids on to planes right now, and I guess I've made my peace with that. But what if you want to bring those little containers of extra contact lenses in the solution? Do you think that would cause a problem? Maybe it would be ok if I brought copies of the prescriptions from my eye doctor...
I don't think that would be an issue, mainly because they are already sealed....you might want to call the airline just to be sure though.
I'd be careful. They threw my mom's away and also her lipstick. They don't even want you bringing chapstick on board now.
Ugh. Maybe I'll bring the prescription and an emergency pair of glasses just in case. Although I don't have an emergency pair of glasses. Huh. God, when I planned this trip, there were no restrictions! This system sucks.
Can't you just pack them in your makeup case in your checked luggage, and pack your glasses in your carry-on? That way it won't go through the machine when you go through security.
I don't even think you can check liquids. The disclaimer on the delta site says nothing liquid can "pass through security" and everything checked would fit that criteria, right? I'm going to check them and put them in my regular clear toiletry bag. I don't want to hide them, cuz that might seem suspicious, but I don't want to put them right on top either. Such a hassle. And now I have to schedule an appointment with my optometrist to GET a pair of glasses. I haven't had any since I was like 16.
best idea is to ship them ahead of you if you can.
SpecK is right...
from tsa.gov
most items can be placed in your checked-baggage without a problem.
Hmmm, very interesting. Do you think they'll go through our checked bags?
As I have seen, they only do this with flagged bags, either some thing seen on the scan or YOU have been flagged. But this is anecdotal and nothing I have found in writing. So YMMV.
Rarrely do they do the random check....unless your me....in which case, they go through your bags, on your flight to your HONEYMOON, taking ALL your goods out for the world to see. Nice.
THIS is why I can sometimes watch Tyler's cartoons with him....for guys like this....hahahah!
So I've got my second interview this afternoon for the job I interviewed for yesterday. I hope I don't screw this one up....if all goes well, I'll find out tomorrow if I have the job....I just have to figure out how to win this guy over, hahaha.
