so at work this lady comes through my line and is telling me how she is just in town to run the marathon tomorrow. she's from la.

"awesome" i say, "i want to run a marathon someday"
"well you should look me up on google" she replies, "i would be an inspiration to you. i used to be obese too."

...

i don't make this stuff up.

just keepin on...

i think i keep doing the same things.


i keep doing laundry
and cleaning.
and cooking
and dishes
and working out.
and going to work
and hating my job daily.

its getting old.

so i have a job interview on tuesday
i get husband to do laundry
and dishes
i pretend like cleaning is a FUN GAME (it doesn't work most the time)
i work out not because i'm trying to gain a model figure... nay. i do it so i sleep better at night. (it works.) (and the model figure... well just give me till next february and i will KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!!!) (if the creeps at the gym don't flirt with me... that just makes me leave early.)

i just have to remind myself that the good does out-weigh the bad. almost everyday there are more things i can be happy about than grumpy.

i suppose i'm learning.

payday

paydays make me happy.
they remind me that even though my job is lame.
and boring.
and people are jerks.
and i actually really hate my job,

i still get paid.

which is the only reason i do it.

the. only. one.

the other thing that makes me happy is music.

i love music.
i think i'm a little overly attached to it sometimes.
i literally get a hurting heart when i listen to something i really like.
and i want a piano.
bad.

really. really. bad.

i found one at the piano store here.
its just a keyboard.
but its a weighted keyboard.
and it plays very nice.
and right now its on sale for 600.
i could handle that.

now i just need to convince husband.
what should i say?
hmmmm....

i'll have to figure it out while i'm working tonight.

walmart... oh how you are... interesting?

it never ceases to amaze me that people can be so rude. really. just rude.

for example.

today i was at work and this girl who was checking out asked me a question about where she might be able to find an item. i wasn't sure so i was thinking about it for a second while i continued ringing up her items. i wasn't done ringing up her items and we were still talking about where she could find the item when the lady behind us said, "ma'am, can you please just pay for your things now?" I WASN'T DONE HELPING HER. the lady was so rude. the way she said it was rude. the face she made was rude. so the girl stopped talking and just stood there in silence while i STILL rang up her items. it wasn't even like she could have paid. and the best part was the lady behind just wanted me to check and see if her car was done at the tire express place. it wasn't. really? really? she could have just walked her lazy butt back there and found out for herself. but no. she had to be rude.

jerk.

don't get me wrong though... some of the people i work with are rude. like this girl mandy. she bugs. really bad. she will just walk away from her register for no reason. or come talk to you when you are working. even if you are busy. like line busy. today some guy was trying to make some jokes and she literally made a face at him. REALLY? its your job to be there and treat people with respect.

jerk.

oh well though. i just smile and bear it and hope that my next job comes sooner rather than later.

{life}

so what? you might ask, have we done since getting married? well i shall tell you.

the monday after our wonderful day of wedded bliss i got to start my new job at qwest (no not that quest... the one with a 'w') as a customer service person. awesome. no really, i can't complain, not even a little. not only do i now finally have a job, but i don't mind even one bit going to work cause i kinda like it there. so anyway i started my job and now i make money. which is really a good thing considering husband doesn't really make enough money to pay for everything. so even though i am basically a trophy wife and should only be observed but not expected to do anything, i regret to say that i have bit the bullet and joined america's work force. anyway, the job is going great and today i got to take phone calls for the first time and even though i was a bit nervous it went well. and my favorite quote of the day is my co-worker commenting about being nervous and saying "i may not be a puker but i might be a pooper." luckily he didn't have any problems. my second favorite thing from the day was a guy telling me that his email address was h-u-g-e-n-u-t-z-z. yes. you read that right hugenutzz@yahoo.com. you better believe that i laughed super hard when he told me that. so anyway, thats whats happening with me.

now husband has had a much less exciting time since we got married. he has kept his job at the university but is now a maintainence man turned renovation worker turned groundskeeper. he has the oh so glamerous job of maintaining the appearance of the edges of the grass on all the on campus housing. thrilling really. he gets to walk around with a weed eater and edger all day. he is also super excited to be back in school again. not really. that was a little joke. i think he lets me know at least once a day that he is quiting or retiring from school. (don't worry, i won't let him. if i had to finish, he does too.)

so thats whats going on here. i know that i have kind of slacked on writing and i promise i'm trying to remedy that problem. anyway thats all i have for now :)
