Just throwing this out there, does anyone else think that Heidi Montag is a slut AND her song sucks. The only reason I downloaded it was because of the sheer fact I needed a good laugh after my rough day at work. It wouldn't be bad if Spencer's dumbass wasn't rapping in it. He is so disgusting. Everything about him just screams herpes.
Today was a busy day at work. I don't even know what people were thinking. Honestly, I was on a register being a cashier for 95% of my day. I really don't mind, but it was just that everyone was so demanding. Alongside that, within a span of five minutes, four people call out and it just threw everything out of order. As soon as I came in, I snacked, and fell asleep right here on the sofa that I am still relaxing on.
Thank you Target Bullseye Dog for my weekend off. I'll go kiss my stuffed animal of you a little later. Shhh... We'll have a moment, just don't tell anyone. ;-)
This weekend is going to be full of a lot of stuff, most of which will have a large portion of school work involved in it. Sunday though, ROAD trip with Kim to Erin's!! I can't wait. It's going to be so much fun!
I'm really happy I'm going to get to spend some time with Kim this weekend. I feel like I haven't seen her in forever since we both started school back. It's sad feeling. :-( *tear* It's cool though, we'll hang out on Sunday and catch up. Yay!
I am a little more excited about this weekend off that is starting tomorrow afternoon at precisely 3:30p, sharp. I cannot wait to kay my number into the time clock, see my name display across the screen, and at that point I know I'll be free from the Bullseye until Labor Day at 3:30p. I don't know what it is, but I'm just really ready for two days in a row off. Next week, I work two days at my store and three days at plan-o-rama at Merchants Walk. Where ever that is.
I'm trying, starting tonight/tomorrow afternoon, to construct some sort of financial plan or organizational pattern. Don't call it a budget. No, no, no. Lucus fails at budgets. A financial plan, however, I've never trid, so I'm sure to succeed in this. lol
It's all about managing money that isn't there. Right? lol. Joke.
Ok, I require some sort of sleep before I start my eight hour work day at my home-away-from-home, the Bullseye.
I must go.
I have that, "I can do anything," feeling of empowerment today(with a little emo sprinkled in there). Yesterday was really good. I realized how great of a place I work at, how much faith is put into me, and how much I am entrusted with.
Long story short, I am going to be the captian of my team from my store when we go to plan-o-rama next week. That's really big for me. I mean, REALLY big. I had a few long talks with my store manager yesterday, and I feel like everything coming out of them were so positive. She's a really great store manager. I'm so glad she's there now. I feel like things are getting back to normal in the store.
I SAW ASHLEY YESTERDAY! I had heard she came back to work for Target in Acworth, but I hadn't had a chance to get down there and see her. Chris and I finished dinner at Buffalo's and headed over there to pick up a few things at the Super Target. We turned around the corner in Plastics/Domestics and there she was.
"Ashley (insert last name here)."
"OMG LUCUS! COME HERE!"
(Insert every movie scene you've ever seen with two people running at each other for a big embrace.)
After all the hugging and small talk finished, we got down to the gossip that we all like to share. It's so great catching up. She and I are going to go out to lunch or something sometime soon, I got her number. Plan on it.
Chris is now upgrading my old computer, my iBook G4. He bought a new hard drive for it last night, and we're installing it today. Look for some serious upgrades to come very soon... I'm really glad he's excited about having my computer. I'm still really excited about having my new MacBook Pro. *sigh* Everytime I look down at the keys lighting up or the MacBook Pro etching under the super-glossy, super-sexy screen, I just get a little weak.
Today...ah, today. Let me go ahead and put this out there, traffic sucks. It took me OVER an hour to get from Cartersville, Georgia 30120 to Kennesaw, Georgia 30144. Yeah. I don't care what sort of construction is going on, who has a flippin' accident, or why you just feel that it's REALLY necessary to break down in the center lane and then ensure that everyone in the center lane is then blocking everyone in the left and right lanes to get out from behind your ass because you can't seem to figure out how to get your damn car started for 2.5 seconds to get over to the emergency lane.
I'm going to stop. There's just a severe bitter taste left in my mouth from the events from this morning's adventure down to class. Yes, that adventure that normally takes me 20minutes on Monday and Wednesday. GA DOT, I'm going to go ahead and give you a big WTF? You deserve it. Take it with honor. Fix the damn roads, I'm done with the construction. DONE, I tell you.
I have an orthodonist appointment at 2:30p today. I can't wait to have him poke around in my mouth. It's like a party in my gums and everyone's invited!
I am so glad I got my braces, but I just wish it was a little faster process going on. I'm going for monthly visits. Can't we make these bi-weekly and get it done in half the time?
I'm so severely done with everyone's braces stories to. "Yeah, I had braces and I hated x, y, and z...", "What are you talking about? I ate whatever I wanted..." Followed directly by how many brackets were broken in their mouth and how often their mouth was cut from their inability to follow instructions by the orthodonist. Hey, I just paid you 4 stacks and some change to put my teeth in some severe bondage for two years. I'm not going to fuck it up. Period. You say no ice Dr Acuff? Cool. You say no bagels, no matter how tasty they are? Alright. You say floss until you can't floss anymore? Hell yeah I will, I've even got me a seat in front of the mirror that I can use now to ensure I'm getting the best possible angle for it. Maybe I'm dedicated. Maybe I'm obsessive-compulsive, or MAYBE, just maybe I don't want to have these on for any longer than orignially perscribed nor do I want them to come off and me have some severe cavities, gum disease, or have to wear a retainer for years afterwards because I couldn't follow directions. No thank you. I follow directions when doctor's tell me to. Not many other's get that sort of attention from me, but when it's dealing with my health, yeah, I'll listen.
Off to the orthodonist for some new wires!
I totally feel like Kanye West, maybe I should do a "Through The Wire" remix.
Or maybe I'll just post pics of my wires as they're putting them on and I have like a foot of aluminum wires projecting from my little mouth as I am reclined in a very comfortable and stylish dentist chair.
I'll marinate on it and get back with you all.

Work
It's really difficult when you can't say what you really feel because the person that it's about has no clue you even know what's going on. I know I'm probably not even a thought in her mind, but I'm definitely going to try in every way that I can to ensure that she's happy when I'm around no matter what.
It's the only thing I can do.
Forever never really seemed so long, until you were gone.
Yes. It finally happened. I am now the proud parent of a brand-new 15" MacBook Pro. I am honestly just feeling all sorts of excited-ness all in me. I am loving my new MacBook Pro. I feel the same amount of excitement that I had when I first got my iBook G4 nearly 3.5 years ago. It was iBook Friday that day, but yesterday was definitely a better and brighter day...MacBook Pro Saturday. :-) Chris is feeling iBook G4 Saturday right now because I'm now letting him use my iBook G4 for all his computer needs.
As for other things going on, not much really is happening. Well, a lot is going on. My first set of homework is due tonight for my online English class. I'm pretty happy about it because I know what I'm doing. It's really not that difficult. I am going to us my iCal to organize my days out so that when I"m at school, I can see exactly what's due and when. It'll be really helpful with all five of these classes. This coming weekend is going to be my catch-up/study weekend. I'm going to study really hard and ensure that I'm on top of my game in each class.
Work, I feel like there's a black cloud looming in the distance. I'm not necessarily meaning that for the work itself, but maybe for something different. It really sucks not being able to talk to anyone about what's going on. I really am having a hard time with this. It's getting to me, and I don't know how to handle it or myself.
I finally finished my first full week of school and I couldn't be happy any happier. Classes are going well, friendships are being made, and Lucus is learning things that probably will allow him to have intelligent conversations that do not involve The Hills or Newport Harbor. All and all, good stuff is happening.
Drop/Add is finally over and through the dust and clouds, I have came out with five classes. Three on-campus and two online. Call me crazy, call me fabulous, smack my ass and call me Lucus, I'm going to have to do this if I want to graduate in any sort of timely manner. I am really shooting for December, 2008. I don't want to go into 2009, but if I do, May is the latest.
I really don't want Summer to end, but I can definitely feel it. From the lack of children working at Target with me during the day, to the cool breeze Kim and I felt when we were out on the lake yesterday evening at dusk. Don't get me wrong, it's still hot as a mofo all up in the South, but it just feels like Summer is definitely coming to a close. I'm really going to miss it. This has to be one of the best Summer's I've had, probably ever. I even went to school and it was still fun.
Work is progressively getting better and better as time goes on for me. We've got a brand-new bunch of managers, and I can honestly say that I do like them all. I mean, of course, I'm going to have my differences, as we all do, but they are pretty great. (No comparison to Clarisa though, lol.)
I am really going to start working on my time-management skills a lot more now that I have a hefty workload on my plate. It's going to be alright though. I kind of feel like life is starting back again now that school is back full-time, work is going a lot better, and overall I'm really satisfied right now with the way things are going.
I do still have to post a Summer Review.
Today was definitely a lazy day. Class was alright, I got out early, came home, and slept for a while. After I woke up, Kim and I went out for a while on some random adventures. Fun times. Now, I'm just waiting on Chris to get in so we can get dinner and we can hang out for a little while.
*sigh* I get like this every once in a while, and all I have to explain this feeling is these lyrics from this song. It's a good feeling.
"So what would you do if you wake tomorrowthere's no more sorrow,your dreams came true?So knock on wood and cross your fingers,Now count your blessings,It might be you,What would you do if you wake tomorrow,When all your gray skies have now turned blue?How many days do you think you're given.So get on livin' , it's up to you..."
~"Life is Good" by LFO
It really makes me feel good to feel like this. It's one of those feelings you just can't even explain, but it's better that way.
A LOT has been happening, and I LOVE IT.
A new semester of school has started, and I could not be anymore excited than what I already am. I have five classes. Yeah, it's a lot, but they all seem like they're going to be great. I've already met some great new people, and I have high hopes that I'll meet more too. I can't wait. I'm so optimistic about this now. I love it.
Kim and I have now been hanging out non-stop for most of the Summer. I'm so glad that she and I are friends now. She's such a great person. :-) Between being on the jet ski ALL the time, sleepovers, and just acting crazy, we've become pretty great friends. We're going tomorrow on a road trip to visit Erin at her school. Too much fun.
Tomorrow is also the day that Chris is leaving for the weekend to go to Ohio for some car show mess(they're staying in some crazy Economy Lodge, say hey to Mr. Patel for me Chris). Yeah, I'm not going. I really wasn't invited, but that's ok though because I have a lot of great friends I'm going to be with ALL weekend and just have too much fun. Loads of pics are sure to come from this. I can't wait! So far, we have like four things planned, but I'm sure we'll get more added in there somewhere.
Unless you know me, you won't know what this is about, but I cannot believe he sent me that text message saying that. He's too funny, but we were all honestly worried. I can't wait to see what comes out of all this. A break-up is #1 on the list, obviously, then, it'll all go great from there.
I have a three day weekend starting tomorrow so I am going to do homework, hang out, and chill out. This will probably be the last weekend that it'll be THIS nice outside and we're all off like this without school, work, or something else getting in the way. I definitely want to take advantage of it and have the best time ever.
I'm going to post a Summer review in a few days with pics and everything. Yay!
Posted on 7:09 AM
I must do homework and wash my car this afternoon. In no particular order.
As I sit here and entertain myself with The Hills Top Ten Moments on MTV, I thought I'd post something. Oh yeah, by the way, The Hills Season 3 premiers tomorrow at 10pm. Yes, I'll be at work, but I'll be watching it on Overdrive as soon as I get home.
School starts back on Wednesday and I've got SO much to do tomorrow. I have to find the last of my books, find where my classes are, and buy some school supplies. I really hope Kim will go with me tomorrow. That'd be a lot better than me going by myself, plus I love Kim and it's always fun going places with her.
Chris is really sick right now, so I'm just trying to leave him alone and try to make him comfortable.
Last night was SO much fun. Kim and I decided to plastic wrap Erin's car and the results are AMAZING. I'll post pics later for everyone to see. It was pretty awesome. We hung around in the Target parking lot from 9p-11:30p. It was so great. This Summer has been so great, and I know that Fall and Winter will be even better. I'll make sure of it.
More later.

Life
I'd like to say I've done a lot today, but I really haven't. I'm kinda glad though because I needed a relaxing day around the house. I do have a lot of plans now, from my relaxing day. I talked to a few of my friends, and we're planning stuff to do very soon. I can't wait.
I noticed something one of my friends said the other day when I was talking to him, and it reminded me of myself. I think it triggered something in me to 1-Hang out with him more, and 2-Get out and do more things.
I've decided that tomorrow is going to be great. I don't care how few people I have working, what punk ass dreaded mofo says to me, or how many times I have to go get on a register...I'm not getting stressed or upset. I'm done with it. It's time for a change, by damn.
I've did a lot of thinking today, had a few really good dreams last night, a few really bad ones too, and I'm starting to see things so differently. Call it dumb, if you want, but I am changing the way I think about a lot of things. Also, I'm going to change the way I deal with certain situations. I don't like being stressed or upset(this isn't necessarily all about work), no one does, but I think I can handle things slightly different and it'll make a total change in my overall life.
With all that being said, I can't wait for school to start back. I'm SO excited. Hopefully, this semester will be just a good or even better than my Summer semester.
I got bored and I went to the iTunes store (yeah, you can buy music, instead of download illegally yall) and they have this fun feature where you can view the Billboard Charts from previous years. I'm going all through the 90s, it's so fun.
Too much fun this afternoon. I loved it. Target partnered with the whole program and a bunch of people from my store volunteered. It was so fun. I really wish that we could all get together on a "Team Night Out" like we use to. *tear* I miss Clarisa, she use to make sure we had fun in and out of work.
Work was...less than fun today. Normally, I just smile and get over it. I just don't understand why when someone asks for help, no one gives it to them. Oh well.
I'm happy tomorrow is my day off. It'll be relaxing. I had plans all set out in my head, but now I have to reorganize them to accommodate everyone's schedules. It's going to be a great day tomorrow. I can't wait!
Post pics and updates tomorrow.
I also have some from National Night Out, and I'll have them up within the next day or so.
For the record: No, he is not my kid. No, she is not my kid. They are both my siblings. I did not have a kid when I was 14 or 16. I don't want to fall into every stereotype that Bartow County has to offer for it's teenagers.
Who knew that my weekend off would be so filled with events that I really didn't mind doing. Saturday at the lake with Kim was SO fun! Sorry you hit your leg Kim, hope it's feeling better! Random times with Linda on Saturday evening was awesome, and The Simpson's Movie was SO great today with Chris. All together, my weekend was pretty great. I also went school clothes shopping with my little brother, little sister, and my aunt. I had a few people looking at me weird and once teenage couple say to me, "It's hard being this young with kids isn't it?" Hence the first paragraph in this post.
Honestly, at what point in time do you think it's appropriate to say that to someone? I know. Probably the same time that the woman in the Carter's outlet store in Calhoun walks by me and gives me a smirk from hell when I'm trying to ask her something. Continue walking, bitch, I'll ask someone else for help you old stuck-up hag.
I said it.
Yeah.
You loved it.
Kim and I are going out tomorrow morning to KSU and to the mall. Fun times! Post some more tomorrow.
HOLLA!
Today honestly. could not have been any better.
Too much fun was had today. Kim and I went out the lake on the jet ski. She honestly, cracked me up. I'll post more in a few.
