Looks like livejournal is about to die out. Only 4 friends still posting at all, and I haven't logged on for weeks. Sorry livejournal, facebook wins, it has games and stuff.

THis is so sad yet so funny at the same time.

Moving Today!

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:02:59 GMT

So today we are moving and need help. If you know where we live you can call us and come over to help. We'll have some food and chocolate milk.

So it feels like my life is slowly going downhill.

Tue, 26 May 2009 20:40:13 GMT

My work hours are getting cut starting on the 1st of June. I will be working 20 hours a month as opposed to134 hours per month. I don't want to work at all due to this.

I though that everything was set with the house and the living situation, but because of something that was said now things have changed and I am on my own with Oscar, and I don't want to be. I wish I could just be completely alone.
I'm in a very bad mood.
I hate the situation I am in.
I don't really want roommates, I wanted my family.
I am too old for this roommate bs, however it looks like Oscar is not.
It feels like I don't know anyone who is responsible and have stable jobs. I guess that says a lot about me, but then again, I don't have many friends that yall know.
Maybe the world could end now and then I wouldn't have to deal with any of this anymore. Lets just hope for that. Maybe a huge methane explosion due to the overcrowding at a local dairy farm?

OMG HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What type of person do you attract? Your Result: You attract models! Congrats, something about you makes those model-quality people flock to you. This is good for obvious reasons - they look great, just having them nearby attracts other models, and it opens doors for you - like exclusive clubs and whatnot. If you are seeking pure physical beauty, you are all set. If you are seeking someone that is not cynical and slightly bitter about humans in general, someone focused on the human condition and intellect, then you are out of luck - but who cares, you attract models!
You attract artsy people!
You attract Yuppies!
You attract unstable people!
You attract geeks!
You attract rednecks!

Need to find a Free Med Clinic

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:24:27 GMT

Any of you guys know of a free med clinic I could go to to get checked out. Oscar is sick with something and may have been contagious, I just want to be safe and make sure I don't have it and cannot get others sick.
Thanks for any comments. Not having insurance sux.

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:32:19 GMT

Ok, So I need somewhere to post a web site for my little brother's Baseball team. Onyone own a server? PLZ.

Unhappy

Thu, 05 Mar 2009 05:53:10 GMT

Sometimes employers not that grand. I do have it better then a lot of people in that I have a job, but sometimes the people I work with get on my nerves.
First the board cuts my pay because they think it is OK to pay me less because I am only one year out of college. Now, my boss wants me to be in the office 32 hours per week as opposed to the previously agreed upon flexible schedule with half the week working from home. I can do my whole job from home but noo. They want to know exactly what I am doing at all times in 15 minute increments, never mind that I do everything they ask for and much more and don even charge for many of the things that I do.
And this comes at a time when I have to take care of Nick and is becoming a huge inconvenience. I feel like I am not appreciated for what I do. Like they are taking advantage of their "board meetings"to make changes without good reason.
Honestly, I love what I do, but I am just timed of dealing with the changes they are imposing. It is not worth it, I do not even have health insurance! That and my boss calls me at all hours of the day, gives my number out to people (causing my bill to be way higher then usual (additional 74$ last month)
more later

Update on Nick.

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 07:42:14 GMT

Boy Scouts:
So as of Sunday Nick is officially a Boy Scout. He is with troop 118 in Elk Grove and their hats and scarves are teal blue. He received his 20er patch and the Arrow of Light Award. He needs a new scout shirt as his shoulders have gotten quite a bit wider over the past year. He also needs official scout pants as apparently they are part of the uniform and cost a lot, they even have to wear special socks! Scout uniforms are costly!

Baseball:
A total surprise. Nick got selected for the Major Minors, which means that he was chosen for the older kids team.He is very excited but is doubting his skills (I do admit that they are generally not the best and that he really needs some help and practice). Does anyone with experience have some time to spend helping me improve his catching and hitting skills? His first game is on March 13thh He will be on the Twins, if anyone has an extra twins hat or something that they do not want with the team logo, we would love to have it. Also, in need of a new baseball bag and probably a new bat.

Life:
He has been very upset. He feels like it is not fair that his and mom's life sux and that they have to live the way that they do. He does not like not having money to go to scout camps, or get the things other kids get.

Family:
Our grandma is ill, and mom needs to take care of her, so I need to take care of Nick.

The end.

My Day

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 19:01:56 GMT

I want a Blue shuffle. How much are those nowadays? Do any of my Apple buddies have one that they don want anymore? My RCA mp3 player is like more then 10 years old now and even with the memory insert it does not work properly, it scrambles all the music.
Also. Anyone living in midtown want to go for morning or evening walks with me around McKinley Park?
My work computer has a virus and a hacker on it.
My computer is missing its OS disks, so I cannot use it right now.
My wallet has been missing for a week.
and I am sad.

Happy Birthday to Jun/Ellis!!

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:51:06 GMT

Happy Birthday to Jun/Ellis!! Its ok, youŕe not old yet.

Happy Birthday to all

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 05:27:07 GMT

Today is your birthday, but please don blow up the world with all the crazy things you do.

BTW mine was yesterday.
Thanks to Judith, Oscar, Mom, Mom, Nick, Ed and my friend Vinney (from India) for remembering.

Want some candy or magazines?

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:01:08 GMT

My little brother Nick is doing yet another fundraiser for scouts and Tuesday is the day he needs to submit the order forms. He is trying to raise enough Money to attend the 2010 Jamboree celebrating 100 years of scouting.
The fundraisers are:

See's Valentine's Candy $5 per box. Boxes range from 4 to 5 ounces (about 6 pieces of tasty candy). They are the same kind and prices as at the See's stores, but 50% of the sales go to the scouts. (The orders for this are due Tuesday, so if you would like some, please contact me asap!)
American Publishers magazine where you can order numerous magazines at way below regular subscription prices. They also have bundle prices for some favorites.

If you're interested, e-mail me back and I will provide you with more information.
Thanks,
Marina

I am bored!

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 06:07:28 GMT

Am really bores, mostly because I do not have the charge cable for my work computer and mostly because I did not pick up my computer from Best Buy yet.
I am by myself because Oscar is at the conference, its fine. It is kind of nice to be alone. Almost feels like a regular day as most of his days he spends playing computer games because its better then doing nothing.
Kind of questioning things. Why is it OK for a person to spend money on themselves? To not consider doing something nice, or getting something nice for another? I guess the holidays are confusing, and its better to get nothing rather then something that you do not want right?
My mom still refuses to take back the down jacket that she got for me for Christmas instead of the immersion blender I really wanted.

I got a haircut. Just a small trim in the back, so it is not dramatic, but seems shorter.
Did my nails today. Just filed and smoother and clear coated them. More than I have done in months.

Looked at a book I really want at Borders today, I am pretty sure I need to get it now. Its called Raw (I think) its on my amazon wish list, I should heck te name. Anyway, its by this Russian couple that had poor health and then changed their lifestyle resulting in better quality of life. It is a cookbook as well as a lifestyle change book. I am considering eating more raw things as well as more vegetarian things. Lately I have been grossed out by meat unless it is ground meat.

Been feeling like throwing-up lately. Wondering why.
Um, nothing more to say.

If you wish to post this in your journal, it's been requested that you title it I'm afraid of __ out of 75 common fears.

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling.
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
{{{If you get 10 or less, you're fearless.}}}
People who don’t have any are liars.

I'm not afraid of spiders, clowns, or numerous other things. I just really hate /do not like them.
I may be crazy, but one thing I look forward to most in my life is becoming a parent.

One of the people I babysit for gave us a TV, The problem is it works weird/needs repair. The picture is off center, and once in a while it starts blinking like its gana go out. Anyone know a TV repair person that will do the work for food? or at least one that will not charge an arm and a leg?
Living without a TV sux.

Um, well, the bedroom still smells kinda poorly. The smell came back after 1 or 2 days. I'm annoyed.
We're about a third into unpacking. Need more furniture and a number of other non furniture things.
Here's what I can think of right now.

Furniture:

2 desk chairs
Small couch or loveseat
recliner or comfy chair

Kitchen items:

food grater
Wok
Toaster
cupcake baking pan
food processor (not necessary, but nice to have when you love to cook)
bamboo cooking utencils? spoons and such

Food:

Chicken
Ground Turkey
Parmesan
Mozzarella
Potstickers
Corn Chips
Salsa
Sourcream

That is all I can think of for now.

New Place (location undisclosed)

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 21:28:22 GMT

A great big thanks to Susan, Daniel and Davin for helping us move last night. It took a long time (about 6 hours+ the 3 or so hours I moved things on my own) to get almost everything to our new place. Atill about 5 or 6 boxes left at Oscar's parents' but we will get them later once our place is set up at least a little.
We slept in the living-room last night because the bedroom smelled bad, and I got the very nice landlord to have it cleaned a second time this morning. Hopefully the smell will be gone tonight and we can set up our bedroom. I am looking forward to that.
Furniture status:
Couch was too big to get into the place, so couch and loveseat are not at Davin and Daniel's not sure which one will get it but either way, someone owes me some money. I'm sad about the couch, but what can you do?
No livingroom furniture except for 2 desks? SO, nothing to sit on. No big deal. We can sit on the floor.
Other things:
Need spatula and probably a few other things that I cannot think of right now.
Need to get cleaning supplies.
Need groceries, will get later today, and some tomorrow.

That is all for now.

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:06:19 GMT

I need help moving tomorrow. I am getting a truck from a friend at about 3 pm and need some strong people to help move furniture. 1 couch, 1 loveseat. A bed-frame, mattress, dresser, desk, desk and bookshelf. Also, tons of boxes, but those are a lot easier.

Anyways, call me if you can help. Looking for help from 3 to 6, if not, then from 6 till everything is in. Will feed helpers.
You know my number.
