money and distance

When I have a bunch of money sitting in the bank, usually all I can think of is how to spend it…and I’ve decided that I need a printer. I would reprimand myself, but…I mean…a printer is necessary. It’s SUCH a pain in the ass to e-mail stuff to the computer in the living room and then fight with it to get it to print. Hm, first I need to see how much moola I owe my mom. Let’s see…the tickets were $160, she agreed to pay half, and put $200 in my bank account. Crap, I have to pay her $120. Oh well. I did some research online and decided on the HP Deskjet 3740. I saw it at Ace, I might stop by and get it tomorrow while I’m running some errands. I have a bunch of stuff to get at Wal-Mart too. I need a DVD rack, for one. Anyway, I just wanted to blog the model number of that printer so I wouldn’t forget it. Oh yeah, I need to get hair dye too *writes it down*. Tomorrow will be arduous. I hope to get to sleep early so I can get some stuff done before I go to work, like going to Wal-Mart and Ace. I also need to set up an appointment with my counselor to discuss what classes I’m going to take next semester. I have totally changed my mind since I’ve been to Sac. I know that seems unrelated, but I want to take more transfer classes and drop all the frivolous stuff. Mostly I need to talk to him about math, and to have him sign the add slip. You have to have a counselor sign them if you’re taking a math or English class. I need to save up a bunch of money this month so that I can afford to buy my books. I can’t get behind like I did last semester.

Oh, I stopped by the college after work to see if Tawna was there, she’d mentioned something in her blog about having to work, but she wasn’t there. I’ve taken to driving to the college on the scenic beach route, it’s been SO beautiful lately. I can’t wait until summer again so I can go swimming, but I have no clue who I would go with. Oh well, I have a long time to augment my circle of friends. I need to call Tawna and ask her if she wants to do something. I was going to tonight, but I racked my brain trying to think of something to do, but there wasn’t anything. Oh well.

I just had a long talk with my mom, she says that I can use that money in my account to start a savings account. I think I’ll do that tomorrow. I have so much stuff to do tomorrow, this big list of stuff to buy and stuff to do. I need to get to sleep early.

I have been missing Kelly and the gang SO bad, my mom did a good job of assuring me that distance doesn’t matter and such. I looked on my pay date sheet thing, and the next holiday is the 4th of July. God, it’s so far in the future. Things will be so different. I have SO much to do at work, all these births and such came in. I don’t look forward to it. I need to get there early so I can get it all done, not to mention all my errands. So basically I need to go to sleep. Now.

excercise

Uncategorized — A. @ 5:13 pm

I just went for a nice jog, and dinner was ready when I came back. It was nice, except for the whole not having athsma medication thing…my trachea was so constricted, I could barely breathe. I made a dentist appointment today (finally). It’s on the 18th, I think. I’d been meaning to get a cleaning for ever, but I never got around to it. My gums really receded during the trip from me not brushing, but I’ve been cleaning them really really well since I’ve gotten back. The gums come back when I take care of them.

I’m drooling over technology right now…I really want the 14-inch iBook, but it’s $1,300. I want a 1GB memory card for the digital camera, but that’s $80. But I know I will have no use for these things until I move, so I’m going to just save the money. I got almost $300 today, it’s all in my account now. Wow, that’s nice:

I wish it was always like that. Well, it probably will be. I made this big order of books on Amazon.com, it was about $40, with some good Simone de Beauvoir, Milan Kundera, and Samuel Beckett…but I don’t feel like buying stuff. I need to set up a savings account, now that I have fulfilled almost all of my tech lust.

I’m going to start a savings account and then name it in my online banking “Escape to Sacramento Fund.” That way I will feel much happier putting money in it. I have to pay my mom back about $90, I think. I need to call her and sort out how much I owe her and get her account number so I can transfer the funds back. I’m going to call her now. And I need to wash my clothes. And try not to mope about not being with my friends. *mopes*

Later I’m going to post the crazy face pics from the trip. It should be incredibly amusing.

the nerve!

I’m at work, busily working. The Daft Punk song “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” has somehow inspired me to work really hard. Maybe it’s because I fell asleep with that song on repeat.

This lady left me a message telling me to “go by the hospital and pick up [their] baby’s information.” Like all I do is drive around and do people’s errands. What loons. I swear. Back to work.

random chats

I’m still talking with the SF guy. He says he’s the new manager or something of the movie theatre here. I’m not sure if I believe that. We’re going to sleep. I want to post the greatest hits of the convo, but I’m too tired.

Omg, he is like coming on to me and such. I do not feel like hanging out with someone who wants to be my fuck buddy. But I guess I should give him the benefit of the doubt, I’ve been bored and horny at 3:30 in the morning before. He wants me to call him Thursday, that’s the day he’s going to arrive. I doubt that I will. I don’t meet people from the Net. If he’s really living here we’ll see each other in due course anyway. So tired. I need my beauty rest. I hope nobody is mad at me at work for leaving early.

I downloaded the pics from the trip, there aren’t too many because I lost the camera at one point, but here are some good ones. There are like a million of us making faces, but I don’t know if the people that made the faces are okay with them being posted. So anyway:


Me, Kelly, and Shawn after we got back from Seven Eleven


Becky as we are driving to Seven Eleven


Me headbanging while we are going to Seven Eleven


Becky and Shawn enjoying their slurpees


Me and Becky sleeping after the party

I miss you guys so much!!!
