Elizabeth has wireless! Yay for friends who know computers! This guy offered to come over and help me with my computer, and so now I have wireless! Haven't tried it from my room yet, but I am sure that it works. SO happy!
So, I might possibly have a new car tomorrow. Maybe. The dealership quoted me a kinda high interest rate, so I have applied at a local bank. I ran into an old friend who happens to work for the bank, and he is hooking me up! Hooray!
Pictures will be a plenty in kinda short order. :)
Alright, I am exhausted. Short entry tonight. I will be more long-winded tomorrow. Night!

this car has power!
And not just horse power. I pull up to the Wendy's drive through window to pick up two frosty's and chicken nuggets for Connie and I to share cause I am on my way to her new place, and the manager of the Wendy's comes over to the window and seriously starts hitting on me. I promise you, if I had pulled up in my station wagon, he wouldn't have noticed me at all. In fact, I should test that out.
So I thought I was going to get a new car this weekend, but it has to wait until next week. I just don't have the time! I have to get the rental back to the rental place tomorrow night and then I have this Relief Society activity which comes with dinner ...which by the way I forgot about until my taskmaster on my phone reminded me. How nifty is that? I will have to use it more often!
Saturday I am working 6 hours of overtime (no sleeping in I am afraid), and then my cousin (I hope) is coming up to help me with all this stuff in my house, and then I have a ward thing that night that I said I would bring veggies to. I am busy.
So I am thinking about applying for a job that would move me away from here. It pays like twice as much as I am making, and I think I would enjoy it a lot more. I don't know if I would really be considered for the position, but it doesn't hurt to apply, right? I could be moved to San Francisco, Chicago or DC. All much cooler temps than what I am used to, but all places at which I think I would enjoy living. I don't know. No, not a music job, a teaching job. More like a teaching supervisor job. Anyways, I think I am going to apply. What the heck, right? I am actually kinda excited about the prospect, I think I would really enjoy it. :)

:)
Okay, so I get to work just barely on time, and I notice that my car is acting kinda funny, but it often does that. I get off of work, drive to the gym and work out. I walk out of the gym, walk to the car, open car, sit in car, put key in car...and guess what? Oh, just guess. DON'T think TOO hard about this one, my friends. That's right, it doesn't start. Yay, right?
4 hours later I am at the airport rental car place. There is of course a line. I finally get up to the lady who is the ONLY one smiling behind the counter. We chit chat, the other guys leave, so there is this rather long line and then there is me and this lady...and that's it. So she is on the phone, they are short on cars, I tell her I am a musician, I play the cello, I am buying a new car this weekend and taking it with me to make sure it fits...and she asks me if I have it with me right now. I thought that was an odd question, so I say no. She asks me, and you don't need to put it in a car anytime soon. I say no again.
AND THEN
she asks me if I would like a 350Z Nissan.
:)
I have only had one moment like this one before. It happens to involve a cello. I met YoYo Ma, and if you don't know who he is, google him right now. This guy is huge in the music business, and he performs on some rather expensive instruments. So he is chit chatting and I am the only one answering his questions and talking back,
AND THEN
he asks me if I would like to play his cello.
:)
I have played a 5.3 million dollar cello, and I have a 350Z parked in my garage as we speak.
I needed something happy to happen to me. Warren really offended me Monday night. Yes, he called, and we talked for quite a while, and really it wasn't all that bad of a conversation, but then he said something that was absolutely inappropriate and moreover was really inconsiderate of my feelings all together. No, what he said is not going to be posted on here. But trust me, it was not good.
My word, but I am over him. I never want to talk with him again. Jerk.
Yes, I called him a jerk!
Okay, back to happy thought. I have a car that could go 160 mph in my garage. I only took it to 90 on the way home, so don't worry. But it rumbles and stuff and That, my friends, is Cool.
Good night!

Clean!
Okay, those of you who know me really well know that I am a total and complete slob. Well, it used to not bother me. Really, it didn't. I really didn't care. Now I do!
I cleaned my room. I even vacuumed it. I know, crazy huh? I still have to organize some stuff, but shoes, books, clothes are all put away where they belong. All of the laundry is folded.
The incentive? I got a new comforter set. It's pretty cute, it was on sale, and I need one for my room anyways.
Oh I got some shoes. I LOVE them. And they are all size twelves! I even got some really cool Converse shoes that are black and gray. Yay!
So the Aunt's took what they wanted, and Aunt Nancy took a bunch of the furniture in the Master bedroom that belonged to her anyways. Cousins, come over to claim whatever is left. I have about 6 blenders, LOTS of dominoes and other games, tons of yarn, luggage. Those shelves in the garage are going. One is ruined, and I really don't need the rest of them, although I suppose it would be useful to keep one of them. But you may have them if you would like them.s And that chair that Connie sat in is up for grabs. Come and get it!
Got a pedicure done. I have never done a really summery color, so I did. If I hate it, I can take it off and have them change the color. I like them so far. I got some art done on them. Pretty cute.
Love to you all!!

Announcement
Tomorrow morning is the beginning of the large shoe event at Nordstrom's Rack. I will be there bright and early to dig into the many many shoes that are just waiting for me to purchase them. And they will be cute and comfy and stylish and cheap...and they will be size 12! Yay for shoes!!! :)
I will also be at Lowe's buying stuff to paint my house.
I will also have the Aunt's over to help me go through all the stuff in my house. :) Oh the many interesting things we are going to find. I am excited! It's like a treasure hunt.
And seriously, that ice cream machine is mine. I will share the ice cream I make with it, you can borrow the machine if you like, but only with the understanding that it will make its way back through the front door of this house in 4 or less days time. Do I make myself clear?
Good night! It's Friday!!!! Yay!

Thank you!
First off, thank you to those who boosted my spirits today. Much better today, I must say!
So today we had a pink slip party for a lady at work who quit and today was her last day. She has joked around for a few years that she would get the pink slip (fired) and yet they just kept on keeping her. So we had pink paper plates, plastic ware, pink cookies, pink decorations, pink slips all over her desk, pink clothes and bags and flowers and gifts, and even a real pink slip (lingerie). Our manager was mortified when he saw it, it was quite funny.
So I ate two cookies (you know those sugar cookies with that amazing frosting on top) AND a VERY large piece of cake and ice cream...in addition to the very healthy meals I had today (I was very healthy...besides this stuff).
So I worked out for 2 hours. Burned somewhere like 1000 calories I think. I know I did 700 on the elliptical and the bike, and in between runs on the elliptical I did lots of strength training. I am feeling the burn. I may regret it tomorrow, but "I feel good!" (song going through my head now).
Going to watch Funny Girl before bed tonight, post scripture study and prayer so I can fall asleep watch it if I want to. Night!

Lonely
Man, living in a big house all by yourself sucks bad. Technically, this is a four bedroom house. And it is practically empty. It is amazing how empty a house is when someone moves out. I miss just knowing that Connie's asleep in the room next to mine.
Her pad is pretty sweet though. Had dinner with her today, and this lady just invited herself to our table to sit and eat with us. At first I was kinda offended, but then I realized everyone does that there. Oh I hope Connie is happy there.
So yeah, on the brink of tears people. Sucks.
What is cool is going through all my Grandpa and Grandma's old stuff. Dude, my Grandpa was a stud. Lots and lots of pictures. He kept a bunch of letters, including some love notes to and from Grandma. SOOOO sweet. They really did love each other a lot.
Found the ice cream maker. I lay claim to it!!!
I am not sure how many of my cousins browse this, but I found two of his dominoes sets. 42 tourny, anyone??? :)
Found a briefcase that was locked, NO idea where the key is so I broke into it and found a bunch of his old papers and the beginning of him writing a history about himself back in 1976. I am going to keep that and type it up for everyone, cause I know I will do it, but I will show it to the Aunts when they come over Saturday and ask them if they know where the rest of it is. I kinda have been looking through EVERYTHING to try and locate the rest of it.
Oh, found his Patriarchal Blessing too. As a direct descendant I have the right to read it, and I want to make a copy of it for all the cousins who want it. I wish I could find Grandma's amongst all this stuff. Perhaps tomorrow.
All right, time to cry myself to sleep. Don't worry, this too shall pass. :) I know it! (I got that last line from Grandpa!!!:) )
