I hope everyone's lives are going as well as mine is right now. I am in such a good mood, and I have been for a couple weeks now.
I had an interview for a job a couple weeks ago, and they offered me the position last week. So now I'm going through the background check and have to set up the drug testing and all that. But I'll be starting my job a week from now.
I'll be in the corporate office of TCF Bank. My position is Adjustments Specialist. It sounds so fancy! I can wear jeans to work! No more dress pants! Heck yes!
Later today, I'm gonna go check out this basement apartment someone is renting out. It's pretty cheap and in the perfect neighborhood. So hopefully I like it and it works out.
This past weekend, I went to Omaha and stayed with a friend. We had such a good time. It was the first time I've ever really hung out in Omaha even though I grew up an hour away from it and have been there lots of times. But we usually only do one thing and then come home.
But Friday, we went to the Henry Doorly Zoo, which is one of the best zoos in the midwest, maybe even the country. It's pretty freaking sweet. Then we went to a real Opera. It was Cinderella. Really neat! After that we went out to the bars downtown. We were in one of the bars and this guy came up to me to tell me he thought I was pretty and hit on us for awhile. He asked me to put my number in his phone, and it's a smart phone and I have a basic, so when he handed me the phone, I'm like, I have no idea how to use these phones... It was embarrassing, so he had to walk me through it, and I kept screwing up typing out my name because of the touchscreen keyboard. Then before we left, he gave me a hug and kissed my cheek. It was just really weird. The whole time we were talking, he had his hand on my shoulder. I'm just sad I didn't get any free drinks out of the whole thing. He's texted me a couple times asking to take me out for coffee, but fortunately for me, I live too far away for me to do so. No interested in him.
Saturday, we went shopping. I got some new sunglasses, pretty unmentionables, and a nice watch. Then we went home to watch a couple movies before we decided to go out to this movie theater to watch the newest Captain America movie. The seats in this theater have recliners! It was so comfy and nice! Here's a picture.
Then yesterday we had lunch and then I went home. Saw Joe last night. We had sexy time and then had more sexy time this morning since I called in to work sick.
So now I'm just hanging out waiting to go see the basement apartment.
My mom just called to tell me our dog got run over. We live out in the country, and the house is pretty close to the road. We have lost more pets that way.
I is le sad.
Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!
This week was super busy! But in a good way!
Monday went to supper and watched the first Indiana Jones movie for the first time with my friend S. I had to give him back two books I borrowed from his friend forever ago. I want to watch the next two Indiana Jones movies. It was so good. Except for the snake scene. It was terrifying. Snakes are gross, and I hate them. Fear them so much.
Tuesday I had time to myself. Didn't do much.
Wednesday, I was finally able to watch the season premiere of Game of Thrones. Anyone else watch it? I thought this one wasn't very intense. Hopefully it was just setting up for the rest of the season.
Thursday, I hung out with A and S and went to supper and then watched King Arthur. If you haven't seen it, go watch it. So many good actors in it! Loved it so much!
Friday, I went to Sioux City to meet my uncle, dad, and brother. Had a good time. Then I got home and stayed up really late and I was on facebook when an old classmate from high school started trying to talk to me on chat. This kid and I didn't hang out in the same crowd. We've never hung out. Ever. And he was weird. Like, saying he was bored because his girl went to bed early and when I told him I hadn't had anything to drink, he told me to go smoke the green stuff. I'm not sure what green stuff he is talking about, but I told him that that isn't my thing, and he seemed all surprised and basically quit talking to me. Um, okay. Odd. I mean, did you not know me at all in high school? I didn't do that kind of shit. Come on.
Today, I made banana brownies. And they came out really well! First time I have ever made something using the stove and oven where something bad didn't happen! So happy!
Also, the apartment has ants, but we can't call the maintence man to come get them out because my roommate's stupid boyfriend is here and it's going to be hard to explain two illegal people staying in one place. But they are getting into the flour and stuff! They aren't all over or anything, I've just found one or two, but it's only going to get worse...
Oh well.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
I went out for supper with a friend last night to Old Chicago (is that a thing outside South Dakota?) and then went to this cafe/bar where I had vodka, coffee, and ice cream. I don't really like vodka, but I loved this! The coffee masked the taste of the vodka, and the ice cream mixed in is just amazing!
We talking a lot about my friend E and what to do about that whole situation, and we're basically just gonna go on about our life without her. She doesn't want to be with anyone other than her boyfriend, so that's who we'll let her be with.
Then today, I found this youtube channel where they do dance workouts to songs. So fun and amazing! Quite the workout! Then I went for a walk. I was gonna shoot some hoops, but it was overrun with kids! So I couldn't do it today.
But now I'm just bored. Talk to me! :)
I hope everyone is having a wonderful week! I haven’t been on much lately. Been busy.
Remember how I had talked about buying a house? Well, I’m going to put that on hold for a bit so i can save up some more money for the down payment. I used a lot of my money for my car. And I have it really cheap right now so it’d be easier for me to save up. At the end of the summer, I’m gonna see where I’m at because I’ll have to find a new place anyway since my roommate’s lease will be up. And i have no idea if she’s gonna want to room with me again. And I’m not sure I’d want to room with her again.
Things just aren’t the same between us, and I’m scared they never will. She’s been ignoring me for a few weeks. And I had asked her nearly every day for a full week if she was mad at me, what was going on, what we could change, if it was something I was doing, and she wouldn’t ignore me. If I asked her any other kind of question, she’d respond. So I basically cornered her in my room one day to go over utilities (Utilities were insanely high. Like, $200 more than I have ever paid in my life, and I just wanted to see how much everything was so that I could compare. That was it. And she took it as I didn’t trust her telling me how much it really was), and I asked her what was going on, and she said she thought I was mad at her for always hanging around with her new boyfriend. I corrected her saying I was frustrated about it, but not mad (I mean, I live with her, and I see her less often than when we weren’t living together. She has been home 3 times in the last 30 days. And only one of those times slept in her room alone. So she’s basically only been home once. Once!). And she was saying that because I wanted to see how much utilities actually were that I was insinuating that she was a liar even though I have a right to know what I’m paying for. I asked her why she never said anything, why she wouldn’t just tell me what was going on, and she said because it didn’t matter, that nothing was going to change- they are going to spend the rest of their lives together. What does that translate to? It means she picked her boyfriend over me. Again. She has been dating this guy less than 2 months.
And I have to admit that hurt. A lot. I mean, she’s my best friend. Has known me for five years, and she is choosing some guy who reminds me a lot of Joe, whom my roommate doesn’t like, but it’s okay because he’s her boyfriend, over me. She didn’t value our friendship enough to want to salvage it and make things better between us. She didn’t want to talk to me; she only did it because I made her. And the whole her thinking that I thought she lied to me about utilities pissed me off, too. I mean, she should know me better than to think I would think so poorly of her. I have never done that before, so why would I start now?
did I mention that her boyfriend is living with us? Because he is. He moved in last Wednesday. Was I asked? No. Is he on the lease? No. So instead of just me living there kinda illegally, there is now two of us we have to hide from her landlord. Super smart, right? It just makes me upset because we are always talking about how the place is half mine even if my name isn’t on the lease, and she didn’t even ask me if it was okay that he stay here. I mean, he got evicted from his old place- (although I’m still confused about that because apparently the roommate kicked him out not the landlord which isn’t an eviction. And anyway, the roommate didn’t remember kicking him out, so he’d technically have a place to live again if he really wanted) Does he have no other friends he can crash with? By him living with us, my roommate has to drive him EVERYWHERE. Literally, everywhere. The dude is 35 and doesn’t have a car.
I hate this whole situation. I feel like a third wheel in my own house. I don’t want to be there. I hate being there. I hate everything about the guy. And frankly, my roommate is starting to turn me off from her. By a lot. Last night, I went down into the kitchen, the boyfriend was making supper. Didn’t offer me anything, so I started making my own food. And I was talking to them just fine, and I went to eat up in my room. Just talking to them is hard enough for me. I wasn’t going to try to eat while stomaching talking to them. And my roommate made the comment that I didn’t have to hide. Psh. Whatever. So I come back down when I was finished eating about an hour later, and then the fucker is like, do you want some salsa or some rice? As an after thought because they were going to throw it away. Like, really dude, you’re in my fucking house, using my fucking food to make the shit you made, and you’re not fucking going to offer me any of it when you initially make it? You’re just going to offer me shit that you’re going to throw away? No. Fuck. No.
But I’m ignoring it hoping he’ll find a new apartment soon. And I can go back to my roommate never being home and me having the whole place to myself again.
I was telling my roommate how I had talked to one of our old college friends, and she’s like, I haven’t texted T or C in a long time. But they could text me, too. Nah, I’m not gonna lose sleep over not talking to them. Really? Fucking really? You don’t care that the only people you hang out with is your boyfriend? And me by default?
And then she was talking about how with her being sick, she’s lost the sense of taste. She can’t taste anything. And she was telling me that when I get sick and lose my taste buds, that’s when she’ll go drinking with me so I can drink all the hardcore liquor shit that I can’t stand. And I’m like, I’d go drinking with you anyway. I can get other drinks. Drinks that I like, and she’s like, it’s just not the same.
What the fuck.
Sigh… On a brighter note, Joe and I went out last night to a bar and drank a little. We had one of the nicest conversations ever. We talked about weird things we ate as children (I ate dog food and he ate glue and a crayon once). We talked about sports, sexism, and work. But we laughed nearly the whole time. It was wonderful. It hasn’t been like that between us in a long time.
Went home over the weekend to watch my brother in a play. He was the lead lost boy. He did an amazing job. So proud of him! (The play was Peter Pan).
And my dad bought a 4 wheeler, and my brother set up a race track in one of our fields. so, I was out on that most of the weekend since it was nice enough out for it.
The weekend was truly wonderful.
So tell me, what weird thing did you eat as a kid?
