In Desperate Need of An Update
| 2.24.5 4:43pm |
so i'm sitting here, eating some baby carrots and veggie dip, waiting on our beef & cheese nachos (mexican restaurant style, mmm) to get done in the oven, mad at myself for not keeping up with updating sooner. I've been somewhat busy though.
saturday and sunday i was sick, so i didn't do much of anything. monday night ricky and i ate dinner at my mom's house. It was pretty good. i think we had beef & cheese nachos. i don't really remember. but anyway, we had brought the videotape of the the ultrasound with us thinking that they would give a damn. i don't ever think i've had a worse lack of judgement. my sisters decided that they would rather look at old photo albums that they have in the living room that they can look at at any time. thanks a lot. conway got on the computer or went to bed or something. i was stuck on the couch next to rick trying not to start crying. i don't think i was being selfish by expecting them to care...when conway and mom showed us (my sisters and i) the ultrasounds of emily, i paid full attention. not only because i was interested, but because it was important to them. the thing is, the day we had the ultrasound, caiti and jamie wanted to come over and see it. i mean, i called caiti from the doctor's office after we left and she was dying to see it. she and jamie were getting ready to watch a movie though, so they came over as soon as they were done. It really meant a lot to me. not to mention my dad watched it with me and rick when we got home, which isn't something he'd normally take time out to do. and then there are rick's parents who have been dying to see it. his mom wants us to hurry and bring it to her house so her family can see it, and his dad and step-mom have been dying to see it. so last night we watched it at their house, and they cooed and commented on it the whole time, and it made me want to burst into tears again, knowing that my own family didn't give a shit and here rick's family was, obsessed. oh well.
i've been somewhat depressed lately. i dunno what the deal is. i'm either exhausted or sick all the time. i think i have a bug, i don't think it's pregnancy sickness. ricky and i are going out with caiti and jamie and muffin and her boyfriend, tyler, tonight. we're going to go see a play at the other community college. i don't remember the name of it. i'm pretty excited about that.
Ricky and i have started buying stuff and working on warhammer terrains. pretty nifty. he's had friends over the last few days, playing warhammer and teaching them how to play (they're new at it). i liked them being over here; i made dinner for them one night and the next night we ordered pizza. tyler was one of the guys, and rick's friend levi is another. two others are friends of tyler, i think they are a couple of years younger than us but i'm not sure. they're sweet. they're all nerdy as hell. it's not bad though, because they're adorable. i usually busy myself with something else and don't bother them, but sit nearby. lately i've gotten into making bead bracelets from glass beads i got at AC Moore. it's kinda fun.
anywho, i guess that is enough for now. i hope everyone is doing well and not catching this bug that is going around. also, how is everyone enjoying this weather? i dunno about everyone else, but for me and ricky here, it is warm one day and then freezing the next. today was supposed to be flurries, but it just turned out to just be very cold rain. take care!
Grades And Such
| 2.18.5 6:37pm |
I got my descriptive narrative paper back in english. I made a B-/C+, with the "C+" circled. I am happy with that grade, since i had expected to fail it. Apparently the others who had seemed to expect to fail had, in reality, expected As or Bs. I was shocked at how pissed they were when all they made was a C, when they had talked so much about what a crappy paper they had each written and all. The only issue I had with my paper was that our teacher had graded them while he was home sick with the flu. I was afraid to touch my paper. I didn't really look throught it at the things he had marked or written, just at the grade. After that, I scrubbed my hands with my anti-bacterial gel i keep in my purse. yick.
I got my math test back today too. It was on graphing and such; pretty simple stuff. The points I got off on it were from careless mistakes, but mistakes nonetheless. Like forgetting to put the arrows on the ends of lines on one of my graphs. I made a 98 and talked the teacher into changing it to a 99 because of an error he had made in writing the test.
I was surprised today when i realized that it is Friday already. The week went by pretty fast for me. I have two papers and two take-home tests to work on this weekend. I'll work on the tests tonight. I'm not really in the mood for those papers. Not that I will ever really be itching to write them.
Yesterday ricky and I got our hairs cut. He got his trimmed, as did I. I also got mine thinned out. If you know how thick it is, you'd understand. It looks and feels a LOT better. Not near as heavy, and easier to fix and deal with. We spent a good bit of time at the mall yesterday (which is where we got our hairs cut). We also stopped by the Y before going to the mall to drop off a pair of pants to my mom, who was there. I got to tell Christen, who works there, that ricky and i are having a girl, which was nice. She seemed sincerely happy about it. after the mall, ricky and i picked up a couple of movies, Ninja Scroll and Post Impact. The post impact movie was awfully low-budget. The acting and dialogue were TERRIBLE. The actual storyline was decent. The graphics were terrible, but hilarious. It was like going back and forth between a movie and a video game. The best actor..the only good actor.. was this guy who was crazy. He comes into the movie about halfway or more into the moive. Unfortunately, you only get to enjoy him for about 7 minutes before he is killed off. I haven't seen Ninja Scroll yet, but ricky has seen it and says it is good. we'll see!
Anywho. I hope everything is going well for everyone else!
It's A Girl!

This One Is For Caiti
| 2.12.5 9:55am |
I am trying not to yous use (what was that about?) contractions in my writing so i can get used to writing better english (and other) papers. I do not like how it sounds though. I feel like saying "do not" gives more emphasis than "don't," and when what i am talking about is not that major, i do not want so much weight on the word "not." Rambling, sorry.
Turns out our boss is wanting us to open up buisness on the 17th. Fat chance that that will turn out good, but we cannot argue with the boss, right? So ricky and i are scrambling to get stuff together. We gotta borrow about $50 from his dad to get some supplies from Lowe's Hardware (wish us luck on getting that money) to make some battlefield boards, get the boss's wife to freaking answer our emails (the boss is letting her handle that kind of thing since he does not know much about computers) and order the products we need, get a few more XBoxs in and get the word out that we're going to have a Halo II tournament with big prizes for first, second, and third place. I am worried that Conway will turn out right and this job will be a dud. It seemed great, until the boss's wife got involved. She does not seem to know anything about buisness. Rick was trying to explain to her about how the company we order from will give us a discount (of 40%) when we order a certain amount, and she kept yelling "That's stupid! That's SO stupid! How stupid? Why would they do that? It's a hoax, they'd loose money that way!" Apparently she does not know anything about mark-up and how that company will still be making money. Anywho.
I may be wrong, but I think the baby had the hiccups this morning. She kept moving at a regular beat. She moves more every day. It really is awesome. Of course, we still do not know that it is a girl yet. We are going to find out Tuesday (3 days from now!). I am 22 weeks now, so the baby is getting bigger. I am supposed to gain a pound per week. I am pretty confident that I am meeting and possibly exceeding that goal.
Well, Ricky is making breakfast so I am gonna get out of bed and hang out with him. Sorry this is not much of an update.
updates, updates...

{9:18pm} Okidoke. so here's your update starting with wednesday.
Wednesday, Rick and I met up with a man who is going to set up a new buisness in Granite called Granite Gaming. The man, we'll call him Street, is going to pay all of the expenses for ordering products and such, Rick and I are going to manage the place. Street's daughter is involved too. On the first (main) level, there is going to be an arcade and pizza parlor. That is what Street's daughter is going to manage. Upstairs is where Ricky and I are going to manage a gaming area where teenagers can buy video games, consoles, play together on consoles hooked together (LAN), or play online games. We'll also be selling RPG game accessories. When I say RPG, i mean pencil/paper RPGs, like Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer, Pirates, Vampires, etc. We're going to sell books, miniatures, paints, and such. We'll also have tables, boards, and areas where they can play the games at the store. And let's not forget that we'll sell Munchkins, Risk, and such too. Everything a nerdy gamer loves. I'll tell you more about that later.
Thursday was cool. I don't remember much about it, except that Caiti and I hung out. We went to the Y and worked out a bit, and then hung out at her boyfriend Jamie's apartment. There, we watched a movie called ekko ekko azarak: wizard of darkness. I had to go home before late since we had school the next day. Caiti was cool and let me borrow her Ju-On movie, which is the original of The Grudge. I love caiti so much *pet*
Friday... i don't remember much of that morning either. School was school. Friday night was AWESOME. Rick and I went with my mom to Maiden HS to this telescope thing. MHS has this sort of observatory thing going on, and people meet there once a month to check out stuff in the sky. There were about 7 telescopes and a pair of binoculars set up looking at different stuff. You know what I got to see? Saturn and it's rings (and the moon NASA just landed on), The Orien Nebula, Two stars that orbit each other, a comet, the galaxy Andromeda (which i can't spell), and some other cool stuff. It was so amazing. This month they are meeting twice; last friday and this coming tuesday. Caiti and Jamie are going to go with us, which is cool. I'm really glad my mom found out about this group. Oh, and I also learned that the song Amazing Grace can be sung easily to the tune of Gilligans Island. try it out.
Saturday... um.. i slept most of saturday i think. Saturday afternoon, my mom had a Pampered Chef party, which was neat. I was glad to see my mom having people over. I think it was good for her. She's also going to the Y more with her friend Tonya. It really makes a difference for her to get out and hang out with people more. I'm glad for her. Anyway, the party. The woman leading the thing made a taco ring, and some kind of cookie dish, both of which were pretty good. My step-dad's sister-in-law kinda made me feel self-conscious about eating too much. She didn't mean to, so it was ok. That food was very good. Rick couldn't attend the whole thing, b/c he had to work, but he did come over and we ate dinner at my mom's. We had taco ring again, which was fine with me.
And then of course, there's today. SUPERBOWL SUNDAY. I'm pulling for the Patriots, but it won't make any difference to me if they win or not. I suppose i'm only pulling for them because my dad is. I mostly only watch the superbowl for the commercials and halftime. Halftime was awesome, was it not? You can go wrong with songs of the Beatles.
Well, I suppose that's all for now. Hope things are going well for everyone.
WOW
