We are famous on the internets again!

We left off on Monday of last week! How does the time get by me so quickly?!

Tuesday--my wrist was still sore when I got up. Major bummer when you work in the serving industry, I can tell you that! :( Werk was fine--I just made Corey do the brunt of the heavy lifting. :P I was actually supposed to work dinner, but got my schedule all jacked up in my brain. I got up, packed, took the bus across town, and got to werk before anyone else showed up. By the time I realised that I wasn't supposed to be there, the girl who WAS had arrived. She agreed to come in for dinner for me. That was so great! I took the bus up to Elk River after werk. Mom, Darin and I went to the Chinese buffet in Elk River, even though I wanted to go to Monticello. It was still tasty. I spent the night at home and did some last minute packing and hammering of details before Mom's birfday party. I think I managed to go to bed at a reasonable hour (before 3am, anyhow) since I knew I was getting up early the next morning.

Wednesday--got up around 9, I think. Took a shower, ran some errands with Mom. We had an AWESOME ADVENTURE at the furniture store in ER. :D We ate Taco Bell for lunch, yet still stopped in for milk with Darin at school. So great! Mom brought me home in the early afternoon. The Wifey and I were supposed to go to Costco, but my timing was poor. I checked in on Crystal and Jessica B. to make sure they didn't need anything. I still have beans and oil for Jessica! Our schedules will work out one of these days, I promise! We had a successful SPW, complete with Church Basement potluck foods. So great, I tell ya!

Thursday--I had to get up FAR too early to go to werk. That's the only downer to SPW, is working the next morning at the ungodly hour of 10:30am. :P I worked my tail off all day, despite a severe lack of sleep. Stopped in to see my good friend, Jeneane (sp?) at Ragstock with dinner in tow. She spoiled me with tidings of a cute wallet and two reusable bags. I have the bestest friends! I also hit the bank and the grocery. I replaced Crystal's three year old condiments. :P I hit up Powderhorn Park with Meeeeeguel, Dave, Bertine, Ryan, mah Wifey, and E-Man. SO GREAT, was the sledding! We went to Crystal's afterward for cocoa and treats. Tofu lo-mein, butterscotch schnapps, and an unflattering nap later, I had a great night. :)

Friday--After sleeping in extremely late, I eventually dragged my bum ass out of bed and hit up Costco with mah Wifey and Meeeeeguel. We procured many goods for Mom's b-day party. We went to Bertine's for Raving Rabbids and pizza before she and Crystal went to a concert. The Wifey and I weren't feeling up to a concert on a Friday night. I'm just not much of a 'let's go out on Friday night' kind of person. Meh. I'm too cheap and get easily overstimulated. I loaded up many party goods into Grimace (Wifey's car) and called it a night...or, at least, I tried to. Seeing as I slept in half the day, I wasn't able to fall asleep till well after 4am. BUMMER. Oh, I was also having a hard time falling asleep due to the fact that there were ANTS crawling all over my ceiling. Plunkett's was called in to inspect the damages--the lady "laid some traps" in hopes that they would eat the bait and take it back to the nest. I bought a shiny can of RAID and killed every last one of the bastards. I haven't seen an ant since. :D

Saturday--got up just in the nick of time to finish packing, get dressed and RUN to the bus with my little old lady cart in tow. :P I spent the day at Tiff's--worked out with the Wifey, baked two cakes for the party, set the party room up, took a shower...bleh. The party was a rousing success, save for the fact that Mom was the FIRST PERSON TO SHOW UP. :P Usually, when she says she'll be somewhere at 5pm, that means 5:30 or 6. She got there at 4:30. Whoops. :P A bunch of family members came, as well as a lot of my friends. I think Mom had a really good time. I know Darin did! We had lots of Nerf and Nerf-esque guns to play with, and lots of camo was worn. SO GREAT! Mom and Darin ducked out around midnight, but the rest of us partied till nearly 4am! I got so tanked...

Sunday--I reluctantly dragged myself out of bed and got over to Tiff's around noon thirty. She headed off to breakfast, and I stayed to clean her place up. Thankfully, Meeeeeguel lent me a hand and packed up the party remnants into his van to bring back to my place. I thanked him in the form of lunch at Los Ocampo. OMG, I <3 Mexican food after a night of heavy drinking. I came home with the intention of taking a nap. I got here after 3pm, spent a solid half hour unpacking leftovers from the party and finding new homes for them. I laid down to take a nap, and then Amanda and Chris showed up! This is why I am off to bed as soon as I finish typing this goofy thing. I'm wiped! Ann bought lots of awesome new animal hats to go with the Frog Hat that Bertine gave me. We lost a guitar due to a broken spring. We had many technical difficulties with the webcam, so we called it quits on that front for the evening. Everyone hit the road fairly early--Amanda and Chris first, around 9 or so (so awesome to see them again!), and people slowly filtered out after that. I think Asian Dan was the last to go, and that was around midnight.

That leaves me where I am now. Calm, cool, collected. Tired as all get out. I don't have a copy of the schedule for this week...I hope I don't work tomorrow. :P

South Park Wednesday, Church Basement Style.

:)

No dice on the daily updates, eh?

Tuesday (10th): Mom and I went and had school lunch with Darin after mailing packages all over the world. To those of you who have already received them, I can't wait to hear what you think, and to those of you who will receive them later, I also can't wait to hear what you think. :P We contemplated stopping in at the dentist, but they were out for lunch, so I'll have to have my tooth looked at another day. I also think my wisdom teeth are coming in, so I'll need some consultation on when I'll be having those out. Boo! Mom and I called pixiecup to see if there was anything she needed, seeing as she had a busted up arm. She said she needed olive oil, so we got her some. :P I did some cleaning of my room, washed some whites, and then went to Psycho Suzi's with Jerry B. and his pals. I filled out an application, but I doubt I'll hear anything from them. I got home around 2am and crashed around 3, as per my new usual.

Wednesday (11th): I went over to pixiecup's house to help her fill out MN Care paperwork. I need to finish mine, too! I had a great chat with her, helped do the papers, and then washed her dishes while she fed me chard and Wheat Thins with hummus. She's a great lunch date! We had a LARGE scare when Owen got home from school. He said that Wes wasn't on the bus. We got in Jessica's car and started speeding around town trying to find him. We were extremely relieved to see him sitting, teary-eyed, on the front step of the apartment building. I have never known such fear as thinking that someone's child could be missing. Once we were all happily reunited, Jessica's cat, Fay, started nomming on my hair, so we took some pictures. I can't wait to see how they turned out! On my walk home, I picked up some Taco Bell. Sick and wrong, I know, but still tasty. :P During SPW, we celebrated Tiff's 1/2 B-day, so we hired the lovely and talented Warr N. Piece to strip for her. Good times were had by all. But you don't have to take MY word for it. :P

Thursday (12th): I never want to get up on Thursdays to go to work. It's hard after staying up till all hours partying to find the motivation to get up, get on a bus, and go to work for 6+ hours. :P Work was fairly uneventful, aside from the fact that I felt an ear infection coming on. I got a ride home from one of the cooks, and he even took me to the bank and the grocery store! I scored some hella awesome bacon and tasty bits for cooking food. Mike and I had dinner and video games together. He also put peroxide in my ears. They did start to feel better, but I was really dizzy. Odd side effect, I thought.

Friday (13th): Didn't get up till 1:30, and didn't actually roll out of bed till after 3. Mike and I went to a late lunch at the Independent, hit up Game Stop for some lovelies, and Ragstock to see my favorite used clothing cashier. I spent Friday night with Jerry B. drinking Sapphire gimlets, eating bacon, and watching crazy British television. SO GREAT.

Saturday (14th): Was supposed to go to teh pancake breakfast with Ann, Bertine and Crystal, but for many reasons, I didn't make it. Went to go visit my favorite Tiffiny in the whole wide world, and waited for Bertine to come pick me up. Went to Bertine's in search of a suit, and found something super! I was planning on going home to sleep and do laundry before going to work, but of course that didn't happen. :P Bertine and I hung out and gabbed for HOURS. I love that about her, that we can just sit and yak for EVER. So great! I worked at the Vesc from 4:30-11pm. I had no idea I'd be getting out that late! Mike picked me up so we could go to dinner and hang out. For one reason or another, didn't make it to sleep before 3am...again.

Sunday (15th): Went to Tiff's. Got her up. Met Mom and Darin and Mike for lunch at the Green Mill. I will have to post pictures and specifics of my pizza order later. It was fucked up! Darin and I went home so he could play Rock Band and so I could have a nap. People showed up to watch some movie that Ann wanted to watch, so that left Darin and I on the couch. :P I drifted in and out of sleep until around 5 or so, until the movie was over and other people started to show up. The lovely Sarah and James were the first ones to show up not for the movie. What a great surprise! It was Dani and David's Engagement Party, coupled with the food theme of the Seven Deadly Sins. I'll link the gallery after werk. :)

Sunday night into Monday morning: I got a phone call from damncutekitty, asking me to take her to the ER. I am an unlikely candidate for this job, mostly due to the fact that I don't have a car. Even if I hadn't had access to Ann's vehicle, I would have taken a taxi, I would have run across town, I don't care--I would have found a way over there to take her to the hospital. I spent a very tense and worried six hours in the ER, watching Crystal's blood be drawn, ultrasounds be taken, and listening to her moan in pain when the meds weren't working. I was so numb from lack of sleep and shock from the situation to cry, but I wanted to. How stressful!

Monday morning (16th): I made the call to Crystal's mom, telling her that Crystal was in the ER and that I wasn't going to leave her. That is one of the worst calls to make--telling someone's parents that their child is in the ER. I'm just so glad that it wasn't for something worse! I also called Crystal's boss so she would know Crystal had a valid excuse for missing out on work on Monday. :P I got a call back from the boss, and I thought that was sweet. What a nice lady to work for! In addition to Crystal's business that needed handling, I tried desperately to get a hold of my Mom, so that she could come and get Darin. As much as I wanted to hang out with him, I knew I wouldn't make it to noon with him hanging out on zero hours of sleep. She was able to come get him around 8:30, which was nice. I think I got home around 9, and it was super nice that they hung out for a bit until I got there so they could say goodbye.

Monday afternoon into the night: I slept from 10am till 3pm, since I had to work at 5. Whatever in the hell I was thinking that I would be "fine" to work, I don't know. I desperately wished I had called in the morning and found someone to work for me. Fortunately, mah wifey told me she would give me a ride to werk. I can't even tell you how much I appreciated that. Bertine said she'd pick me up from werk, and that sent me over the edge. I cried for the first time that day when I felt the love from my friends over something as simple as a ride to and from werk. :)

Monday night: I got to werk and immediately regretted it. I was so tired that I could barely function. I tried to find someone to replace me, to no avail. Oh well. That wouldn't have been a problem, until 7pm rolled around. Damian showed up and hung out for an hour. I was so tired and numb that I couldn't deal with the fact that he was there. He kept telling me that he would leave me alone, and that he was having trouble concentrating over us splitting up. I burst into tears after he left. I just felt so dirty and slimy and manipulated. I still feel gross thinking about it. I'm going to file a restraining order. I'm really sad about that. :( Bertine got me, and we went to Fedex/Kinko's to make a copy of my resume for my interview on Tuesday morning. :D We also had a glass of wine, talked about life, and then I passed out around midnight.

Tuesday (17th): I woke up at 8 and promptly told my phone (alarm clock) to eff off. 8am shouldn't exist in my world, I swear. :P I got up around 8:30, lurked about the internets for a while, then took to getting ready. I think the interview went well. It's so close to home! I can't wait to find out. :) The wifey came over and we walked to Rainbow for tasty lunch bits. Got some sammich goodies and chilled for a while. That was a nice change of pace. I hung out solo till around 6:30, when she came back to get me so we could go get groceries for Crystal and some dinner for ourselves. The lovely Amanda joined us about halfway through dinner, and Crystal called HOURS before we were expecting her! It was so great to hear that she was doing better than expected. :) We headed over to her place and immediately set to work cleaning her domicile. Jess washed the majority of the dishes, I cleaned the fridge, Bertine did the drying and putting away. I stayed the night and we passed out fairly early.

Wednesday (18th): Crystal woke up several times to go the the bathroom. I kept telling her she needed to take her temperature, since that's the first sign of an infection. :P I'm glad I stayed. We ended up sleeping in pretty late, which was nice. I stayed till after 5, when Ann came and got me. We had spent the day watching Clueless (OMG SO GREAT) and BS-ing around. Crystal's friend Rox sent flowers, and of course they came to deliver while we were on our 15 minute junk food run. I think if Crystal was in the mood for Cheetos and dark chocolate that she'll be fine in NO TIME. That makes me happy. :) Ann took me to Chicago Lake Liquors, where I procured tasty beverages for the group. She headed out for a friend's birthday party, so it was a PANTS only night. ;)

Wednesday night: I got the brilliant idea to broadcast ourselves on the internets via this here website. We had over a hundred hits, and at the peak of our famousness, we had 21 viewers at once! So great. I think the webcam will become a staple of all SP/RB get togethers. :D Owen came tonight, as well as a few new friends. I <3 me some new friends!

So, that leaves us where I am now. Alone, nearing 4 am, needing to go to sleep and think about working 10:30-5 tomorrow. I don't wanna! I want to sleep all day! I'll prolly go to work, though. :) I also have to think about filing that restraining order, finishing my MN Care paperwork, and getting to pixiecup's house with the beans and olive oil for her. What a week that is left for me!
