funny tales

Busy busy morning today! I had a dentist appointment at 8am, then I went to get tags for the plates on my car, then to talk about getting renter's insurance for my apartment, drive back to Spearfish, and get my oil changed.
Everywhere except when I was getting my oil changed:
"Oh, that's such a cute purse!"
"Where did you buy that?"
"Did you make that?"
"You should sell those things!"
"That is so cute!"
I had 6-7 of the ladies working at the County Treasurer crowded around the desk to look at it while I showed it off. It was interesting.
While getting my oil changed, the guys in the garage noticed my toy dinosaur stomping my Matchbox car Volkswagen Beetle. This excited them very much because foreign cars are difficult to work on when you're changing their oil. I remember when I worked at the oil change place back home and the guys would always bitch about it. Anyway, they thought that was so funny and awesome, that they gave me a $2 discount on my oil change :D Yay!
It's been a busy morning. But to top it all off, I didn't have to go to my morning music classes today 'cause I was busy back home. It's actually the first time I've ever missed K-8 Music Methods. I'm doin' pretty well.

Sometimes I really don't like coming home. First of all, we have the worst reception out at my house, and I can only talk to Wes for 5 minutes before my battery dies. I guess I should have told him to call my house phone if it wasn't too late. I'll try that today.
Secondly, it's snowing. Not just a litttle bit of snow...2-3 inches of snow. Everywhere. Bah. But 50 miles East, in the direction of school, it's crystal clear. Just a little cloudy, I guess. Bastards. I really don't want to drive back in this.
I miss having my own room and my own privacy. And I miss being able to keep the room at a decent temperature where I don't have to be wearing 3 layers of clothing to stay comfortable. *Sigh*
Sorry, kinda whiney today. On the plus side, we're having ham for dinner, in honor of me. Not that I'm a ham...I just requested one for dinner. I should have brought my PopTarts back...I'm hungry, and I don't feel like cooking breakfast again. Well, I'm gonna find something to watch on TV to rot my brain...Until next time!

Dream

Dream:
I was on campus, or visiting some place with some friends from back home. I think my sister had come with us, but she left early and either took her car or my car, and I think it was mine. That's just the feeling I got from the dream, at least. Anyway, there was a page over the intercom that I had a phone call, line four. So I said goodbye to whoever it was I was walking with at the time and headed for the stairs 'cause I was on the 3rd floor. I ended up trying to open the elevator doors, which didn't work, and some guy who worked there was yelling at me not to do that, so I went for the stairs.
The first flight of stairs was a ramp 'til the last three stairs. The second flight had a really thick step halfway through it, and the third flight of stairs was weird beyond belief. The ceiling kept getting closer and closer to my head, and it was almost like you had to crawl out of the last bottom steps to get to the lobby.
Once I was in the lobby, I ran into someone I used to work with when I mowed lawns. He was in charge of the phones, and wouldn't tell me how to get to the phone I needed to so I could talk to whoever was calling for me, and he was just being a real big pain in the butt. He finally told me that the Nurse's office had a phone I could use and ponited me there.
Once I got to the Nurse's office, there were already a couple of people in there, but I just walked over/by them to pick up the phone. It was my sister on the other line. I couldn't understand what she said, but she sounded really upset. I kept asking her to repeat it, and nothing made sense, just nonsense. Finally I understood, "I made a mistake. I hurt my leg really bad." And she kept saying, "I made a mistake," and I couldn't get any more out of her.
The feeling I got from the dream was that she'd taken my car and been in a car accident with it, hence the mistake, and she was worried that I'd be mad at her, and she hurt her leg. I think maybe she was delirious from pain or something.
It left me with a really bad feeling this morning when I woke up to my alarm again, but it was 5am and that was the last time I was going to let it go off because I had to be in at 5:30am, so I had to get ready, I couldn't just hit Snooze again and figure the rest of the dream out. I thought about calling her, but I didn't think she'd appreciate that, even though she had to work just as early as I did. She's okay in real life as far as I know, the parentals haven't said anything to me. I've just never had dreams like that before, so it kinda freaked me out.

Listening to a couple different things at once, sorry...
Upon learning that I would be sitting in my apartment by myself for Thanksgiving, one of my managers at work asked if I'd like to join her and her in-laws, husband, and sons for dinner this afternoon :) I was beyond thrilled, and immediately said yes. So now I have to call her up and see if she wants me to bring anything 'cause I have some cashews, home made salsa and some chips, or I could pick up some wine or something before I headed over.
So happy.
Work was hectic, people were lined up outside the store. We're not in a big town, the store itself isn't that big, and there aren't a lot of big holiday toys out this year like Tickle Me Elmo and stuff...so what's the point?? But I was only there for 4 hours, and now I'm DONE for the day. Just need to eat some turkey and fall asleep :)
Happy Turkey Day!!

reformatting complete

Ahhhh, the reformatting of my computer has been completed! I started last night, and was up 'til 3am. Still wasn't done. Had to call Dell this morning. But we got everything figured out, because last night, things sure weren't figured out. I kept getting a blank screen every time the computer was supposed to load...so I had to RE-reformat it, the long way around...but it was worth it. Even after I put all my songs and pictures back on the computer, and re-downloaded most of my programs, I haven't even used a quarter of the space on the computer, compared to before the reformatting, where I didn't even have a quarter of space left! So nice.
Bought myself a turkey breast for Turkey Day tomorrow since I can't go home. It's pretty good. I had some for lunch tee hee.
Took a nap today. Shouldn't have done it, but I can't help it. Now I'm not going to be tired tonight 'cause I got too much sleep today (from the lack of sleep I had last night). Oh well. I only work for 4 hours tomorrow, so it's not that big of a deal. I hope.
My sister is actually EXCITED for Friday to come around because she wants to see all the people fighting over toys and stuff. What a weirdo.

DONE!

Finally got that stupid music paper written! 8 pages long, baby! Finished it up this morning with an hour go to before it's due. Not too shabby, considering I ended up with 6 out of 7 sources somehow...had to go find another one this morning.
Went to work last night to have Grant look at my computer. I decided it's just best to reformat it, so I've been burning songs, pictures, and Word documents onto CDs to back them up. Not sure when I'll actually reformat. The idea scares me a little. Losing everything, starting from scratch, having to re-download all my programs...Oh well. Computer needs a break. Oh...favorites...how do I save those from Mozilla Firefox?? Better figure that one out, too. Or just write down all my links, but man, what a pain...I'll be putting my new keyboard in it on Friday when I go home for the holiday weekend, because not having any Control keys is killing me. And the fact that one keeps falling off is just not good. There's no savin' it.
Also, going through all my old Word docs, I found a few old saved conversations from Kyle and me. I re-read them, and I can pinpoint the exact moment that our relationship fell to shit. So weird. It was a little over a year ago, almost a month into school. Kinda sad. I really don't know why I seem to be obsessing over this. I guess I've just never had an ex boyfriend hate me or think so poorly of me. I don't like it. I tried to salvage something a couple weeks ago, but got no response from him. So I just don't know, and I guess I should just get rid of all that stuff and move on. Apparently nothing is changing.
As I was coming home last night there was a lady in a minivan pulled off the road onto the shoulder. She was just getting into her car, so I moved over into the other lane, which just so happened to have a deer. A deer that was just hit by her, as the poor animal was laying on the ground, still alive, trying to move and gasping for air. I almost hit it, but was able to go around it. I almost cried. It was one of the saddest things I've ever seen.
I really really really really need to clean my apartment. I think I will do that either today before work or tomorrow after Biology, since it's my only class and I don't work tomorrow. We'll see.

Also, Mom found my keyboard, so I won't be out of Ctrl for much longer. Tee hee. Going home Friday after I get off work at 2pm. They're going to have turkey and all the trimmings for Thanksgiving because my sister has that day off, then we'll have baked ham on Saturday when I'm there, and LOTS of leftovers for me :) Which is good, 'cause I haven't been to the grocery store in a while and I've been eating out more than I should be. Just gotta remember to bring home tupperware and stuff...

Well, work was fun. Even though I had to dress up as an elf lol. It was only four hours, and Santa was a dirty old man lol. He kept trying to get cute 30something blonde moms to sit on his lap. And he's almost 70 lol. It was really amusing.
I'm LOLing a lot...
Anywho, I went straight to the library after work...they're only open 'til 5pm on the weekends!! WTF?! So I was there for half an hour, then I went to a coffee shop, which was only open for another hour...so I headed to the Knight's Cellar. Pretty nice place, but not a lot of business. So probably not going to work there.
Now, I've written 7 pages in 2 and a half hours. I'm awesome. Gotta put in my works cited and all that shit. I'll do it on Monday...the day before it's due. Yay. But I did write a shitload today. So I'm done for now, or my brain may implode.
