| Little Known Pennsylvania State Law |
[Mar. 10th, 2008|04:01 pm] |
| [ | Current Mood |
| |  pissed off | ] |
Just incase you didn't know Pennsylvania Law dictates that wage reimbursment can not exceed $1,000.00 a month. What this means to me: i will only receive a check for 1,000.00 a month eventhough i make more then that.
I saw my doctor today and she won't release me to go back to work because i can't lift my legs when i sit. She's going to re-evaluate me in a week. this is bullshit. i'm not a professional cyclist and i don't need to lift my legs to work.
life just loves throwing me curveballs. |

| The Gates |
[Feb. 28th, 2008|04:11 pm] |
In 2005 i had the opportunity to travel to New York City to see Cristo and Jeanne-Claude's The Gates. I turned down this chance because I chose to "take a day off" instead. My art classes were cancelled due to this trip so if i didnt go to new york it meant i would have a free day without school. i look back at that decision with disgust. i was so immature and SELFISH to chose a day of most likely sitting around watching tv over an experience i could share with my grandchildren. I'm sitting at home today watching a documentry about how the Gates came to be. All the struggles the artists went through to bring their vision to life. i am at the verge of tears because i missed out of an experience of a lifetime.

| My So Called Life.... |
[Feb. 26th, 2008|12:29 pm] |
i've been watching My So Called Life for the past few days. its strange because i remember watching this show when it was on the air and thinking how old and cool Angela, Ricky and Rayanne looked. They were so much older then me and so cool--i mean Ricky was gay and hung out in the girls bathroom....wow. Now as i sit here and watch episodes that i fuzzy memories of i think-oh my god they are so young. i can't believe how young these kids are. what happened? when did i become so old and they become so young? they're going to school dances and having crushes while i'm married and concerned whether i should make chicken for dinner or pasta. where have the years gone? how many people have touched my life and so many have passed through it. how many times have i said "we'll be friends forever" and today i couldn't even tell you what state they live in. its depressing thinking of how much i'm missing out by not making a better effort to keep people in my life. i know thats how life is. you graduate highschool and say you will always keep your friends that you had in highschool forever. not true. you graduate college and say you will always keep your college friends forever. not true. what is it that makes us grow apart? are we too busy or just too lazy to keep up? ofcouse there's also that select group of people that you tell that you can no longer keep a friendship with because of various reasons that all boil down to they are toxic to you.i had many a toxic friendship in the past and they are painful. i hope to live the rest of my days without having to feel that pain ever again. |

i decided to update my livejournal account but i haven't looked at it in so long and it really is a great way to keep intouch(that is if anyone still uses it). i've been very lonely lately and i don't know how to fix that. I've been out of work since the accident and my days are long and painful. I have yet another Dr visit tonight and my physical therapy appointment. Mike is calling the mechanic today to see if the truck is close to being finished since its been almost a month now. i guess its a good thing that i've been unable to work or drive because its saving us alot of money by not needing a rental car.::trying to by optimistic in a total shit situation:: well i should be going...i have a very busy day ahead of me. i have to take more painkillers and then watch disc 3 of my so called life. more later... |

eek. i'm not dead....i'm just busy and poor. we finally got internet so now maybe i'll be able to keep up on my lj and whatnot. between wedding plans and fixing up the house i have been running myself ragged but once those two things are accomplished i'll feel much better and hopefully have some time for myself to just relax. i'm going to get into my painting cloths and work on my powder room....you know you have no life when you actually have assigned outfits to paint in. |

i had a horrible dream last night. I dreamt that my mom said that i was too fat to wear my dress at the wedding so i had to wear a t-shirt over it. I was so embarassed that i had to wear a t-shirt that i ran away to get away from everyone so i could figure out something else to wear besides this Journey T-shirt...thats right...the T-shirt was for the band Journey. So i ran away to find something else and the i saw debbie lutz and she told me that we could get a white body suit like the ones they wear for figure skating so her and her friend ran out and got me that and i put it on and i was ready to go to my wedding and then i saw mike and he said that i took too long and that everyone left. and i said to him that i was all ready and i wanted to get married and he told me it was too late.
i think its too early to be having wedding nightmares. i guess this is incentive to lose the 30 lbs that my mom has instructed me has to come off by november. |

| mother-in-law question |
[Aug. 22nd, 2006|08:51 am] |
I need your opinions because i think i am right in the following situation but i want to make sure. I planned on taking my bridesmaids out on August 20th to look for dresses. My future mother in law had expressed interest in going with us. I told her (very nicely might i add) that this day was for me and the girls in the wedding but when there will be other things she can come with me to do later. I also told her i would bring her to look at my dress when i decided on one. so that was the end of that....or so i thought. a week later mike started asking me why his mom couldn't go with us. and i told him it was because this was a day for just me and the girls. long story short she was "personally hurt" that she wasn't allowed to come with us to pick out the bridesmaid dresses while my own mother wasn't even there. so then august 20th rolls around and mike takes his parents to a phillies game for the day and i take the girls out for dresses. his mother doesn't talk to anyone the whole day and sits and cries at the phillies game. then when i go over to see them when they get home she completely ignores me and only mutters a hello and goodbye. so now last night mike's dad approached him and asked if he was going to smooth things over with his mother. Mike askedhis dad why his mom was mad at him and his dad said she wasn't made at mike she was upset with me. so then mike comes back to our house and says the i've gotten my way and his mother didn't come with us but now i have to go over there and say i was wrong and apologize to her for leaving her out. needless to say mike and i then get it a huge argument.
i don't think i have to apologize. i did nothing wrong. she knew from day one that she was not invited to look for the girls dresses and she persisted to make it known that she wanted to go. My own mother was not there that day and she knew she wasn't invited and she was ok with that because this was a day with my girls but his mother can't accept that. now not only has she pissed me off she's making mike stuck in the middle of all this and its causing us to be at odds with eachother. mike told me i have to go over and see his mom tomorrow{today} and say i was wrong. i have no intentions of doing anything of the sort. i think she needs to get over herself because this is uncalled for.
am i being bridezilla or am i right? |

we bought a house*.
we're officially in debt forever**.
*house meaning all brick townhome that hasn't been renovated since my mom was a teenager and the previous owners pretty much used it to roll around in their own filth.
**lucky for us the previous owners left a fake fikus plant in the corner of the living room. All that debt is oviously worth it since i now have a fake plant in my living room that i have to dust

just so you know everything links back to Kevin Bacon.
I was looking up the show Big Love to see if the girl that plays Sarah Henrickson is the same girl that played Karen Smith in Mean Girls. This girl is named Amanda Seyfried and she did infact play both roles. So as i was looking at the Big Love cast i saw the name Chloë Sevigny which looked familiar. I noticed after further review that she was also in KIDS, Boys Don't Cry and Broken Flowers. Fox then asked me how they were connected to Kevin Bacon. So i thought about it....
Amanda Seyfried is in Big Love with Chloë Sevigny
Chloë Sevigny is in Broken Flowers with Bill Murray
Bill Murray is in Lost in Translation with Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson is in Ghost World with Brad Renfro

here is a long overdue update. i won't make it too long i promise.
-mike and i have been looking for a house....our real estate agent keeps sending us houses in the ghetto to live in....maybe we need a new agent
--i spent my weekend hanging out with mike's parents since mike all most of my friends went out of town. nothing like sitting at your future in-laws house because you don't have anything better to do
---saw the movie Thankyou for Smoking by myself on saturday night....last time i go to the movies alone on "date night". It might be fun for Carrie but not for me. Warminster is not my date.
----I ate some canibis-cookies last tuesday and had to call out of work on Wednesday. Pot cookies are not my friends...especially when i think people are touching me and they're not
-----i'm feeling very dissatisfied with my current status of living arrangments. I want to buy this townhome we like now but get myself sick thinking about the payments
------wedding plans are coming along nicely. Major things are done. Save the Date cards ordered.
-------i dont even want a wedding anymore. i don't want the big hassle and all that money spent. I want to just be married already so that i can get on with my life. This whole wedding thing is such a let down. Three years of planning for one day and then its all over. I don't want the dissapointment of the day after so i just don't want to do it at all
--------Wednesday is Administrative Professional's Day aka Secretary's Day....we have to go out to lunch...i'm not looking forward to it.
---------Annie's cat is in heat and the only way to get her to stop is to help her masterbate with a q-tip....this subject does not pertain to me but i thought it was an interesting fact none the less
i will try and stay on top of my lj account and update more...i am also sorry that i have not commented more...its been a crazy couple weeks. |

my computer desktop at work has a little icon in the center of it. The icon is of two stick people. The one stick person reaches over to the other stick person and pulls their stomach out then beats them on the head with their own intestines. Once the abused stick person falls to the floor dead the other stick person takes the detached stomach and puts it on its own head and wears it like a hat. and smiles. some days i wish i could be that icon.
in other news, i had my meeting with steve yesterday. i have given up all hope of being happy and now have become very apathetic. I feel that if steve is dumb enough to think that i believe him when he tells me that 20% is 9 out of 15 items i do then....then....i don't know. he;s just an ass...thats all.
i just caught our computer guy doing cats cradle with a rubberband while he is supposed to be fixing our server. i'm glad we pay him so much for our excellent computer knowledge( we are now on hour 4 and not fully functional)
One of these days i'm going to go to home depot and buy wallpaper. when everyone leaves for the day i'm going to wallpaper over the window in steves office that looks right at my desk. I want to wallpaper over it with the most obnoxious wallpaper i can find because even the worst wallpaper would be better then looking at him. |

| Cassie's Birthday left me drunk and disorderly |
[Mar. 25th, 2006|07:24 pm] |
| [ | Current Mood |
| |  awake | ] |
And so, its not saturday and i have finally recovered from the worst hangover that i can remember. Last night was Cassie-love's birthday party at a wonderful Moraccan restruant. Juice and i BYOBed and finished our first bottle before most of the other guests had even arrived. I was requested to dance twice in the evening....once with Cassie and one of the bellydancers that was performing that night and once with Melinda while she was performing. Lucky for me i was drunk because i am convinced that my lack of bellydancing skills at this point might have made me look like an idiot although i was told it looked hot.
I was overjoyed to be able to spend time with Cassie and Snap first and foremost becuase i never get to see them enough since i graduated. I was also thrilled to see Beca and her boyfriend James(who i told him that i loved him on many occasions that night). Janie and Zack were also there which made my night complete. I wish Annie could have come because it just wasn't the same without her. So anyway we were all drinking and laughing and going outside for cigs.
Before my meal had arrived i was already toe up and telling mike through text messages that i was going to need a ride. Everything was amazing...the food, the dancing, the company and the atmosphere were great. Being my first time in a restruant like that i enjoyed every minute of it. Once dinner was over and i was completely wasted it was time to go home. Juice called fox and told him to pick us up. I had to give him directions to the restruant which let me tell you was not a good idea. Give the drunk girl the phone to give directions...not smart. Juice and i sat outside for what seemed to be an hour before he arrived. We got in the car and he drove us home...i got to my house, smoked a ciggy in my driveway before stumbling into my room and falling asleep fully clothed.
I woke up at 7am and walked stumbled downstairs to get a bottle of water. Once i retrieved the bottle i went back to my bed and layed back down. I opened my eyes and looked that the bottle of water and realized that i had actually two bottles of water and two left hands. I closed my eyes again. Opened them. two bottles of water and two left hands. Thats when i decided that i was still drunk and should sleep longer. My mom called my cell phone at 8am to ask where i was...i could only mumble "in my bed". That was fun trying to explain to my parents why i had to leave my car in Warrington right near the Mews. Mike drove me to get my car today and lucky for me it was still there....you do always run the risk of it being stolen when you leave it near the Mews.
All in all i am recovering from my hangover and had a wonderful time. Melinda stunned me with how beautifully she can perform and i am so happy that i'm taking lessons from her. Cassie seemed to have a great time and i hope its a good birthday that she will remember for a long time. |
