Critterific!

Wow, apparently it's been nearly a month since I've written anything! xP Which, is not suprising...my ear infections came back due to the doctor only giving me half of a cycle of antibiotics. But, I went back yesterday morning and got a full cycle this time, plus some lortab for the pain. Which is suprising, because Sis's boyfriend, Chris, went to the hospital the day before (for a toothache,) and all they gave him was a cycle of antibiotics. :/ A little confusing, yes? xP But, they've been hurting me a lot, so I've barely been checking my messages, much less worrying about writing a blog. lol

My grandfather's birthday was today....and I completely forgot about it. >< I felel REALLY bad, even though I have a pretty damn good excuse - I was up all night in agony over my ear and when I finally went to sleep (around 7am,) I didn't wake up til nearly 2pm. Nana called me not too long after that, freaking out on me for not showing up. :'( I didn't mean to piss anyone off, but I'm sick! I can't help it if I'm passed out half the day from exhaustion/lortab! xP

Anyways, Pixie, my Robo Dwarf Hamster, is doing great! :DD She seems to be very pleased with her home and is getting a little less skittish of us....hopefully we'll be able to hold her soon! The same day we got her, Mike's gerbil, Rico, passed away. :'( It was really sad, and we ended up spending the rest of the night in silence. :/ I felt so bad about it, the next day we went out and got him two Russian Dwarf Hamsters, which are both female. :) He named them Twitch and Tweak. xP Which, are very suitable names.....Tweak is a spazoid and Twitch has an actual eye twitch! xP (It's not anything bad, she does it when she gets angry!) They're a little more hostile than Pixie, but they're warming up to us a lot faster than her. Pixie still runs from our hands a bit, but we can pet Twitch and Tweak with no problem most of the time. :D
We're turning into a couple of regular critter lovers. xP We collectively spend a few hours a day just watching and playing with them (the cat seems to be getting a little jealous.) xP We've even decided that when we get a place of our own, we're going to get me a rat as a house-warming pet. :D I haven't decided whether I want a medium- or large-size rat, but I would definitely love to have an albino one....and I'm pretty sure I'll be naming it Walter, regardless of gender. Walter just seems like a rat's name to me. xDD If you have any suggestions, let me know!

Anyways, aside from the ear agony, life's been going pretty good. Mike got a job at Buffalo Wild Wings, and he's supposed to be starting early this week. :D He was so excited when they told him that he started dancing around the room. xP He ordered his scooter a few days ago, so it could be here at any time. I'm really worried about him driving around on that thing, but he thinks he's being a burden by needing me to drive him around. *rolls eyes* Uhmm...it would be different if he weren't my husband....lol

There have been some bad things happening in the background though. Beth's FIANCE (YES, FIANCE) has been being a petty little BITCH about parking his truck lately. He's been going out of his way, including parking so close to my car you couldn't spit between them and going outside after we've left and scooting his truck a few feet. *rolls eyes* It's really getting ridiculous and there's honestly no reason for it. I hadn't done anything to him, and I really don't deserve to be treated this way. Hell, I haven't even spoken a word to the guy - so, WTF?! I can understand him being upset about me ignoring him, but this is getting childish. EXTREMELY childish....especially since he's been locking Gabriel down in that cold ass basement at nights. One night I even found her locked in the junk room! He's seriously asking for it....Mike is on his last nerve with this guy and I really don't know if I can hold him back from hitting him if he does one more thing. Moving in and screwing his mom does NOT make you anyone's father or give you any power over us. We're roommates, not kids, we came back to help HER out - so get the fuck over yourself.

Anywho, enough of that fat, disgusting slob. He doesn't deserve that much room on my blog....or air. xP

Well, I'm going to go enjoy my hubby's wonderful homemade chicken alfredo and (my favorite!) cooked carrots, which he's making to help me feel better. :)) I hope it works. :/

The Sewing Life Alchemist

So, I didn't get to see Kerli's interview/performance on the Dj Rossstar show....and I haven't been able to watch the video of it either. :/ My ears have been hurting me so bad the last few days that I've barely been able to keep the ice off of my neck, much less try to stick ear buds in there. :/ Today was my second day on antibiotics though, so hopefully it won't be hurting as badly tomorrow.

I've been sewing my ass off today, trying to take my mind off of it. I had a big, plastic duffel bag that was for shower/beach stuff, but I never used it - so, I turned it into my sewing case! :D I made two big pockets to go on the side (one had smaller pockets on the front,) out of my LBHS After Prom t-shirt. :) Now I have some place to put all of that elastic and stuff without having to sort through it.

I finally finished watching FullMetal Alchemist....and I'm glad I didn't finish it until the second season came out. They left it WIDE the fuck open. xP But, the problem is....the first 10 or so episodes of the second season are a review of the first season. So, we we're sitting there going "WTF? Are you sure this is the second season?" xP He finally had to skip through the episodes (while my eyes were closed,) to make sure. xP

Anywho, off to watch a little Family Guy before I head off to bed. Hopefully, I sleep throughout the night tonight. That would be nice. :)

Creative

Today's been a pretty good day! We were running errands all morning, but afterwards, we were having fun and hanging at the house with Shaggy. We ended up going through pretty much all of the music on my laptop. xP

Afterwards, I went to work for Nana - which wasn't so bad for once. NO customers came in, and only a few people called, so I pretty much spent the whole time organizing her buttons. She said I could keep all but the shirt buttons. :D She also gave me some ribbon, lace, elastic, snaps, zippers and even bought me a bottle of loose, silver glitter on her way back. :) As soon as I got home I started decorating the beanie baby change purse I made, and she turned out BEAUTIFULLY!! This is probably the third thing I've handmade, and I'm really impressed with how well I did! :D I've been thinking about making stuff like this and then selling them somewhere around here - maybe Happy's when it warms up? I've got a whole bunch of beanie babies that I'm never going to play with again - aside from decorating them if I do intend to sell them!

I just went downstairs to show Mike's mom, 'cause I thought she'd get a kick out of it....and she liked it so much, she gave me one of her beanie babie to make her one! xP

Well, I'm off to start that - probably going to have to rip up another pair of pants to get a zipper for it. xP

Uplifted

I've been in a really great mood today. :) I have been all day for some reason, even though I technically have no reason to be. xP

We went to Sunday dinner earlier, which was fun. :) We had pot roast with carrots and potatoes, which my grandpa cooked in their new pressure cooker. I thought my grandma was supposed to be making it, but I guess she wasn't feeling that well. :/ It was tasty, regardless of who made it, though! lol My mom seemed like she was in a better mood, which always makes me happy. I'm not too totally sure what's been going on between her and Dad, but I do know that it's been up and down recently. :/

Afterwords, we went out job hunting with Shaggy in tow. We went scrounging around the mall since we hadn't been there yet, and got a few leads. I went into Hot Topic and they said they wouldn't be hiring until June or July. :/ But, things were looking good for Spencer's, which would be an AWESOME job to have! They said they'd be looking over my application today or tomorrow, so hopefully I hear something soon! :D

While we were there I ran into Dixie - I hadn't seen her in FOREVER! But, she was looking good and she's about 20wks. pregnant with a little boy! :) I'll bet he's adorable, I've always thought she would make beautiful kids. :) Then we saw Mike's cousin Bill, whom I call Asshole. xP He didn't recognize me at first, since he hasn't seen me after losing the weight, which was kind of nice. :) I'm not trying to be vain or anything, but it is nice when you get those kind of reactions. You get told you're fat and ugly all of your life, then someone - ANYONE - says "DAYUM!" and you feel like Queen of the World. :)

Mike and I have been doing A LOT better. We finally realized that we were just taking our stress over this house on each other, and we haven't been fighting, like, AT ALL. It's been nothing but "I love you"s and snuggles. :D I love it. I hope it stays like this, at least until we finally get the hell out of here.....this house is stressful enough without us tearing each other a new asshole over nothing.

Well, enough rambling. I'm going to go take a bath and then probably hit the bed early since we have A LOT to do tomorrow. :)

Worse and Worse

Well, it's only been three days since my last post, but it feels like forever. This house literally feels like how they describe solitary confinement in "Let's Go to Prison." You can't tell the difference between five minutes and forever, your eyes play tricks on you, and you go insane. I really can not take living here anymore. It has gotten to the point where I was asking my family if I could put a tent in their back yard and sleep there, just so we wouldn't have to be here anymore. My grandmother convinced me to go up to my aunt's house and ask her if we could move in, (since she has offered before - and not too long ago at that,) and she gave us an almost rude "no." We're at our wit's ends here, and I honestly don't know what to do anymore. *sigh* It looks like we're just going to have to bite the bullet and continue living here. I'm crying right now just typing that, because the thought of staying in this house - even for one more night - is making me want to TDO myself. (Which, if you don't know what that means, is when you lock yourself up in the psych ward to keep from committing suicide.)

I've been trying to keep myself busy with my craft projects....but I don't have enough fabric and things to finish them, so they're all at a half-point right now where I can't really go any further. So, for the past few days we've pretty much just been sitting here staring at a wall. *shrugs*

I really hope that I can find a job soon. I've been putting in applications everywhere that I've seen them, and I'm honestly baffled that I haven't gotten ANY responses yet, not even "no"s. *sigh* It's getting really old and disheartening. I know that the economy has to do with it to some extent, but what about the places that ARE hiring? Oh well, there's not a whole lot I can do about it, right?

The only thing that's really getting me through is having Mike....if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have bothered TDO-ing myself the first time. He's been my little cheerleader, which has been so fantastic, but at the same time makes me feel bad. Who's his cheerleader? HE DOESN'T HAVE ONE!! His mom has chosen that fat, disgusting FUCK over her own son, his sister barely talks to him....so the only person left would be me....and I'm too broken right now to do anything but make it worse. He needs a cheerleader too, I'm not the only one in this predicament.

Well, enough depressing rambling - I'm going to go listen to "Beautiful Day" by Kerli and try to imagine that it really IS a beautiful day. :/

Army of Love

The weekend was pretty slow, and so was the first part of the week....we didn't do a whole lot, except go out for lunch a few times, which was fun. :) Thankfully, not any MAJOR drama or anything, which is a nice change of pace from the norm.

Today, was the breaker though - and it's been drama-filled all morning. *rolls eyes* The short and skinny is my grandpa locked his keys in his car, and my grandma thought that was good enough of a reason to scream at me. *shrugs* Oh well, I just wont be talking to her for the next few days.

Anyways, enough of the crap. Last night was AMAZING though, I got to watch the LiveChat with KERLI!! :DD OMG!! GAH!! She looked so gorgeous, and she has the voice of an angel - just when she speaks! :) After watching it, she is definitely one of the most down to earth musicians I've ever seen. We asked about I-Loo, and she squealed like she was talking to her best friend - it was adorable. <3 I can't wait for the next one! She said she was hoping to have another one next month for her birthday, and I hope I can make it! :) Since I'm in the U.S. though, it probably won't be that hard for me to see it, this last one was at 6pm.

I was just listening to some other music, and it was pissing me off, so I changed it to Kerli. xP She just has great music! :DD Army of Love = the sex. <33

Well, I'm going to go check on the hubby and make sure he hasn't fallen into the soup he's making. *rolls eyes* He wouldn't NEED to make it if his mother wasn't so fucking dumb that she wanted to just reheat the roast in the same nasty ass pot and just add some veggies. *BARF* GROSS!! No wonder her cooking always tastes like shit!! xP

<33 Zee - I.L.U.

Better Day

Today has been better, at least we got that damn money. *rolls eyes* So, we're all caught up and now just hanging at the house enjoying ourselves.

Earlier, I was supposed to go up to Nana's to work - but, apparently she didn't hear me agree to it, and eventually told me to just leave. I really don't understand her logic. I come in halfway through her shift and her answer is always, "Well, if I've been here this long I might as well stay the rest of the time." Now, I can understand if I had gotten there an hour or two before she was supposed to leave, but it was halfway through a eleven hour shift! WTF! It makes NO sense.

Anywho, enough bitching about how nutters my grandma can get at times. xP
