P.S.

Our friend Eveline Clay is in the ICU right now in Florida. She worked with us at GM Card and she was one of the nicest people there. She has diabetes and so many complications from it. Her blood pressure was sky-rocketing and she was in heart and kidney failure when she went in. I talked to her today, she is very positive but I know that she is really sick. They are trying to get things under control but she is still in the ICU. She was surprised to hear that I was asking about her. I emailed her manager down in Epcot and he told her and let me know her number. So, just wanted to update that.

Heat Wave

It is so hot outside yet freezing in here. I have a sweater on when it is 95 degrees outside. You can see the haze when you look out over Detroit. I am so glad that we have air (sorry Jessica- you can come sleep over!) It's suppose to be back in the 80's by Thursday. After Julie's yummy brunch we came home and I mowed the lawn while Jackie cut down weeds. I almost passed out, pushing the lawn mower. It was so hot, sweat was dripping down my face and I was so out of breath. I went in for a drink and to cool down a little, then I weed wacked so that we don't get fined. I'm glad that is done for the week. Then I had to go to work. It was hot and we were getting inspected today so of course we have to 'clean' everything. It is unfair that the people that work the night before that get screwed. They should hire someone to come in and clean if they are going to be that anal. I can understand things being labeled and dated that is fine but when you have to start taking a toothpick to the doors of the coolers to get all the dirt off then I draw the line. We were there 2 hours after we closed. I am getting a cold too. My head is all cloudy.

Friday I missed the Necto because I worked and then it would have taken too long to go all the way there. I drank by myself while watching Psych but then I was by myself. I fell asleep at like 1-ish. Then woke up to take myself to bed. Saturday I was so unmotivated. I did make myself go upstairs and start to pick up all the clothes that I don't wear anymore, even though it was 100 degrees up there. It was a start at least. Then Stace came over and we went to Red Robin and to see The Devil Wears Prada. I was amused by that movie. Then Stace went home, she married and all. We went to Fishbones to meet Beckie, Ryan, Jessica, Mike and Beckie's cousin. Stayed there a while and then went to our house and played Trivial Pursuit DVD pop culture. Me and Ryan lost but it was fun. We ate mini quiches too. Fell asleep around 3.
Today my Grandma is here for an eye appt. but I don't know if I will see her, only if I go to lunch with them. Then I am working tonight. I am tired.

Little yellow ball

I got an email from my mom, she briefly said 'I felt very uncomfortable at the party.' I don't think she wants to talk about it anymore. And I was going to give her a run down on all that was purchased. Darn.
I went to the gym yesterday, it kind of made me feel a little better. I did incline walking for 35 minutes then lifted a few weights and did situps. My legs were still a little sore from dancing on Saturday. I know I feel better when I exercise, I just don't know why I don't do it more. I don't like all the mirrors in there though, I used to not mind but now I look at myself and think how different I look from before and I don't like it.
I went to get breakfast today, because I feel better if I eat and then it fills me up and I don't have to eat lunch, but there must be a convention or something going on because there were like 40 people in line. They have 1 cook. So....I am trying to wait like 45 minutes because that would have taken forever. I wanted to be like 'get out of my coney!' There is 1 other person here other than me and he sits far away. So, it is very quiet. Another boring one coming. I'm already sick of looking at the internet. Awesome.

3 hours later.....
Well went back for breakfast and not as long of a line. Apparently they 'lost' my ticket though and I was standing there for 15 minutes. Then they gave me the wrong toast. Now, I saw the guy put the toast in and I knew it was wrong, the girl gave it to me and 'said this is right.' I opened it and was like 'um no it isn't.' She was like oops. GRRRR. Not the month.
A homeless guy found $21,000 in bonds in a trash can and found the owner, the owner only gave him $100. Is that right? The guy could have kept all $21,000! So now people are donating money to him for food and an apartment. He has $4,000 so far and a lead on a job. This happened in Detroit. Would you attempt to find the owner of that? I probably would since it wasn't cash but if it was cash I don't think I would. I would probably feel guilty though.

I am in a bad mood...

Glow necklaces and Candy Bracelets

So did anyone eat any of their candy bracelet? I didn't...The party was fun, minus my hair looking like crappola and Darcy showing up 40 minutes late to her own party. And my mom trying to tell me that we were the ones uncomfortable at the sex toy party, as she is running to her car and peeling off! We definately had a great time. Tonic was dead, we walked in and we were the only people in there. Darcy made about 20 bucks from her suck for a buck belt. We crammed in a 10 person limo with 12 people, that is sooo illegal! I was thinking on the way there, wow I hope no one gets sick in here. We drank all our drinks before we even left the house! We needed more skip and go naked's because those were good. And strong. There were many shenanagins at the bar, I stayed out of them and danced on the table. There was a girl that looked like boy that was hitting on Jennifer, that was amusing. I am so glad I wore my flip flops because Jackie and Beckie's feet were killing them by the end of the night. We had to do a head count before we left because Jessica was being wooed away by some guys for $40!
When we got home at 3, me and Beckie decided to go to W.C. with no shoes on. We went through the drive thru. We thought Jessica and Jennifer would be passed out but they were waiting. Everyone else was. I went to bed at 4:15. The next day was hell. Messy house and I had to work. And my legs killed from dancing.
Yesterday I went to a funeral for our friend, Mac. I've known him for about 14 years, through Stace. We always go to football games with them and he made a good meatball. He will be missed. It was in Ionia, cute city but far away.
I am so exhausted. I've been sleeping but I don't feel rested. I need to stop eating crap and start exercising. WHY IS IT SO HARD?!!! Ugh.
Work is boring and slowwwww.

I feel a let down now, the party was what I was looking forward to and it was all that I imagined but now what....

:l

I'm so angry this week. I thought it would get better as it got towards the weekend. But it hasn't.
Sorry if I'm crabby to anyone. I am hoping the weekend will lift my spirits.

Hotter than....

So Saturday was 'hotter than 2 Winkler siblings making out' according to Jessica. She clarified to mean the girls. The reason she said that was we were going to the Tigers game. We were sitting in the sun. Awesome. So ya we were pretty much dripping sweat. I drank before we went though so it wasn't as bad as Memorial day. Then I had 3 margaritas at the game. I couldn't seem to pay attention too much. We actually got rid of all but 1 of the 20 tickets. Patrick was suppose to come but he was a no show. Luke and Todd seemed to have forgotten their watches since they were 45 minutes late meeting us at the Tiger statue! I had a good time though. We stayed until after the fireworks and the place cleared out. I cried a little during the fireworks. I'm glad it was dark. I get sad at wierd times. We then walked back to the Ren Cen. It always looks so close. It really isn't that far but my feet started hurting. I have to stand up a lot for Panera. Then we went to BK. I was pretty drunk. Jackie talked to her cousin Marc and me and Jessica kept making jokes. I don't remember what they were but we thought we were hilaaaarious. We ate our food and I called Darren. I guess I left a message. Didn't remember that! The next morning I looked and it said over a minute and I'm like hmmm I must have left a message. I passed out at 12:30pm and didn't hear my phone ring that night.

I had to work yesterday and since it was 100 degrees out it was like 85 at work. It sucked. We were sweating. I have to work today too.
Me and Jackie finally cleaned the basement and it smells so much better. It took us only like an hour and 1/2. We threw boxes out, we had 4 garbage cans full of stuff. The garbage men are going to hate us but in general I think they don't like people that have lots of garbage. It gave me a good feeling though to have that done. We are getting prepared for Saturday. We are hosting Darcy's bachelorette party. We are having a 'toy' party first with drinks and appetizers and then a limo is picking us up and we are going to the bar. I am looking forward to it. I haven't gone out out in over a month. I can't even remember the last time. We have to go to her shower first during the day so we are going to be really busy. Any girls that read this that want to come, let us know! We are having Sangria, Skip and go Nakeds and Cosmos for drink choices. Whoo hoo! :)

This week I have to take Duke to the vet. Our friendly neighborhood police stopped by to make sure they had their dog tags. Um well no it isn't something I really think about. So I have to take him in and then go to city hall. It's ok because he is due but it sucks because I am so broke. I have to go and put 5 bucks in the bank so it hopefully doesn't bounce tomorrow! Arg!
Anyways.....

The experience

I just got lost for 30 minutes looking at pictures of Jamie's wedding. Thinking about that day, the day. I go over it in my head and try to think how things could have been different. I guess that was what was suppose to be. Sometimes I'm ok, sometimes I'm not.

I am dragging ass this morning because I got wasted at my parents house last night. I was tired so I thought drinking 4 Bacardi and vernors and 2 captain and diets were a good idea? We had a great dinner, steak, green beans, salad, fried rice and fish for all the fish lovers, I had a drink. Stace, Ryan, Zac, me, Anna, Jackie and my parents. We laughed about salami, I had another drink, we talked about camping, I had another drink, we talked about our friend Mac who is dying of liver failure, I had another drink. Then we decided to go and meet Luke because it was Todd's 21st birthday. If we hadn't gone he would have only had like 3 shots, as if! Anna bought him like 4 or 5, Jackie bought him one, I bought him one. He was on his way. Anna got him a green, yellow, red.( a stoplight) The green was an oatmeal cookie, yellow was tequila and red was pucker and vodka. mmmm. I had another drink. I got him a lemon drop, Jackie got him a 3 wisemen, Anna got him a Sicilian Kiss, and I had one more drink. Blah. I passed out on the way home. I can't believe I got up this morning at 6. And I made it to work on time. I am the ONLY one here from my team. 2 people are wfh, 1 is at a funeral, 1 is on leave and 3 are on vacation. I'll probably leave early since I'm technically suppose to be to panera at 3 today.

Since no one has wrote about camping I'll fill it in. We left at 9am on Saturday morning. The border took a while and exchanging money took a while. We stopped at the duty free and it was 2 for $20! I was so stupid in not getting 2 bottles of captains because I got 1.14 liters for $10 and on the way back it was only 1 liter for $13.75. Rip off! We were packed to the gills in our car. No more room. We decided to go to town to go to the beer store before we went to the campground. Only to find out it was Canada day and the beer store was closed. Whatever! We get to the campsite and no one is there so we walk down to the beach but no one was there either. So we decide to set up our tent that Jessica's mom so graciously let us use. 8 person tent. We fold it all out, alright, where are the poles? Jessica had a look of innocence like aren't they with the tent? That was all that my mom gave me. So, no poles, well crap. Jessica starts freaking out, which makes me calmer, wierd. I just had that whatever kind of attitude like I'll sleep in the car. She calls her mom and drops the f-bomb a couple of times. Then Anna, Beckii, Sandra and Luke get back. They tell us not to freak out that we can fit in somewhere. We call Darcy and she hasn't left yet so she is going to buy us a tent at Target. They went swimming, I tried to take a nap but it was too hot. I tried the tent, the chair and the car. No. So I decide to go swimming. Everyone was headed back but Luke went back with me. Jacque, Tommie and his brother got there and we started making dinner. Potato packets, yum! Then hamburgers, hot dogs, brats and chicken. The drinking began. I think I ate too much because I didn't really get that drunk. Finally Darcy got there like 20 minutes before dark. We had to rush to set up the tent. But yay we had one. We went back to the fire. I was in the I want to go to bed mood but I stayed up a while.

I didn't realize how drunk Darcy was until I saw that she drank a liter of wine. Ryan and Jessica had gone off somewhere and I was like 'where are Ryan and Jessica?' She goes "I don't know. Why couldn't they come camping?" I'm like 'Um they did come camping.' She's like 'ohhhhh'. It was funny. Ryan drank a lot of his vodka. Anna didn't get off her Cleopatra chair and Ryan whispered to me 'when did Anna become a parapalegic?' It was the funniest thing I heard all night. Ryan and Jessica wandered off again and me and Jackie went to bed at 12:30. They got back at 2:30, they had gone swimming. Jessica went naked. She had fun. Ryan got lost because his flashlight broke and it was pitch black. He ran in to a clothesline and someone else's tent before stumbling upon the Death Star (Luke's car). He kind of just stood there and Jessica found him. We all kind of slept in that day. We made breakfast burritos which are kind of disgusting when you look at them. We went swimming but we still had to go to the beer store. So me, Jessica and Ryan went in to town and got some and then we got 4 bags of firewood. We got back and I was so tired. I took a 2 hour nap. Then my throat hurt. Ryan sat in his chair for 4 hours straight and people kept asking if he was ok. I got back and Sandra, Beckii, Jacque, Tommie and Jimmie were wasted playing UNO. The others were playing 'who would you kick out of bed.' They asked me 'Usher or Taye Diggs' and I said Taye Diggs but I didn't know you could have both, so then I changed my answer. We made pizza pockets, or 'Hobo's' as Jessica oh so loves that word. The other group went swimming in the dark. Anna said that since everyone else took a 2 nap that she was taking one too. I was the only one that did that. It was 10pm, I was like that isn't a nap, that is bedtime. She swore she would get up again. She was drunk. She did not get up again.

We all got pretty drunk that night. Some more than others. Ryan got lost again and fell over a tree and decided that he would just die there. Jessica was his saviour again. Jackie puked all over our campsite. MMM doritoes....Then she puked in the tent because Jessica turned off the flashlight. It was already 3:30 in the morning. I was thinking god, I have to drive home tomorrow. I woke up at 8:30 and had a bad headache. I got up. I was the first one up. Sat around and finally about 11 decided we needed to pack it up. Jackie wasn't moving. She couldn't. We shoved everything in, sweating our asses off. And left at about 12:30. I can't say we were sorry to say goodbye to the camping experience, we were dirty, hot and hungover. Overall it was fun I think. Jessica said she isn't going camping for another 15 years. I got home and showered and I had to work, it was awful. I am not sleeping that good so I'm tired all the time. Well, gotta go do some work, even though no one is here...
