7:35 pm	It's Christmas!!!! So far I have had a great Christmas. Swin and I spent last weekend together at his apartment before both flying home Sunday evening. He made a candlelight dinner Saturday night before we exchanged gifts and he was all dressed up and looked so handsome (aww he was sooo cute). Anyway we did that and just had an overall great weekend. Did some Christmas shopping for his family together and we each did some cooking for the other's family and our own. He made 2 cheesecakes for my family (my mom absolutely loooves cheesecake). Everyone liked it. And I made a bunch of cinnamon buns for him to take home (even tho I fell asleep while they were baking and Swin had to take them out of the oven...oops). But his family liked those so I was happy. And my grandparents are staying with us for Christmas. Last night we did our usual Christmas Eve....making cookies, singing carols, reading christmas stories, etc....I miss the older Christmas traditions from when I was younger (going to church and lighting candles and driving around Bangor to visit family friends until late at night)...but it just isn't possible anymore because my grandparents are getting so old that it is just too difficult to take them out places. This morning Kelly dragged me out of bed at 7:00 AM to do the usual stockings from Santa and then everyone ate breakfast and showered before moving on to the the rest of the presents under the tree. And then we had Christmas dinner (ham, potatoes, green beans, and a few other things along with holiday cookies for dessert). This afternoon my uncle and his girlfriend came over and we finished exchanging gifts with them and talking around the fire. They left a couple of hours ago because it started snowing really badly. And we just finished dinner. We have about 4-5 inches of snow now and we're supposed to get a foot!!!! I'm psyched because I want to go sledding with Kelly tomorrow. But she has a basketball game scheduled for tomorrow which I really want to see so hopefully they won't cancel the game. Anyway Sunday we celebrate Christmas with my dad's side of the family. Their's a little tension on that side of the family at the moment but hopefully things will go smoothly. I talked to Swin earlier...I miss him soo much but I know I'll see him in a week and a half. I talk to him everyday but it's not the same. I still miss sleeping next to him and just seeing him and talking to him sometimes. Anyway I have things to be doing. Looks like I'll be shoveling snow tomorrow morning...good thing I like snow. Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: christmas carols in the living room... (Comment on this)

10:54 pm	What a weekend so far, had an awesome night last night, but today I am sooo tired. Tonight was interesting to say the least...6 of us got kicked out of the Colin Mochrie show...oh well we tried to sneak in....at least we didn't get into trouble. Then we drove over to S lot where one of Todd's roommates started up one of the golf carts here for parents weekend and hr drove away in it. It got parked somewhere over in UC...and then I decided I really needed to do some more studying. Biology is going to be the death of me. I am going to be spending a lot of time studying this week. Anyway, I'm off to bed. Current Mood: tired Current Music: nothing-going to bed (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:18 pm	hot nakedness~ wow lets just say having a place of my own without having to worry about "the guys down the hall" etc...is nice. This morning I definitely ran around the apartment naked and then got chased around the apartment naked by beth with a digital camera!!!!!!!! AAAAnnyway....I have a bee in a jar. I went to Niagara yesterday with Beth and Todd. Had a few drinks and lost a little money at the casino but it was fun anyway...we had a blast. I love the fact that everywhere we went in the casino they asked to see our ID's...which would not have been a problem excpet that noone there had ever seen a Maine ID before so there were a few instances where I thought I was gonna have to leave. But we had a blast.Classes are good...qhite a few boring lectures..but hey what can ya expect. Although my photo class is awesome. The apartment is great...its HUGE...it's really cute too. Oh and when Beth and I got moved in our parents met for the first time...what an adventure. We now know why we are so alike...our moms are basically twins separated at birth!!! They were so alike that it scared Beth and I even. They thought alike...they look similar...it was very wierd. Went bra shopping today...oy I can't believe the prive of bras..I got 2 for almost $50...and they WERE ON SALE!!!! Wow..oh well my boobs look huge what else can I ask for. LOl I am insane. Beth and I lazed around this morning and watched Save the Last Dance in her room on the computer. Mmmmmmmm and then we had french toast for breakfast again. Tomorrow my uncle and his girlfriend are coming to visit. We have had something interesting going on every weekend since we got here...casino niagara, rollerblading, kayaking on the bay, sheesh I have been a busy girl. Well now it's time to go do some cleaning around the place... Current Mood: hyper Current Music: Avril Lavigne- losing grip (Comment on this)

6:45 am	Georgia Schmeorgia So I couldn't go to Georgia like I wanted to so badly. I have to work most of the week and I start physical therapy on Friday so it just isn't gonna happen. I think my dad actually realized how upset I am about this last night and he started making all these suggestions, like the idea that I could fly down for my two days off and see some of the tournament and then fly back here to Maine. Umm no, its not worth the money we would have had to spend. So here I sit, alone. Mom remembered to give me some grocery money on their way out, because, like last time, there is no food in this house. I wish I could be there. It's all warm and sunny and humid in Georgia, here it's all foggy and crappy and cold. I hope this changes before the end of the week. I better be able to go lay in the sun and get a little tan before they come back from Georgia looking black. So not fair. And then if they do go far in the tournament I am gonna be bummed that I wasn't there to see it. I dunno, as someone who played softball all my life, until this year, the oportunuty to go to something as huge as this tournament isn't something we pass up happily. Aside from all that I decided I was going to buy my parents a camcorded and give it to them as their next Christmas present and birthday presents from me. So I went and researched it after work one day and decided which one I was gonna buy. I came home that night and announced my plan and told my dad which one I was gonna buy and which features it had. So he got online and started checking out camcorders on the internet. And what does he do?!?!? He went to Best Buy and bought one...not even the one I had been looking at. And tells me about it when I get home from work the next night. I looked at him and didn't know what to say. I didn't want to see that camera, let alone hear about any of it's features. So I walked out of the room and went upstairs. It was my idea, and I wanted to do it as a present. But I don't think that's why it upsets me so much. I think I'm really bummed because I knew I wasn't gonna be able to go to Georgia, and this was, to me, my consolation. I would choose a camera and send it in my place. To me it was something that I could do and not feel so bad about not being able to go. But dad ruined it. Instead of talking to me about what kind of features he wanted he went out and bought a more expensive one. I told him it was gonna be my surprise and that I had wanted to pay for it. His response naturally, was: well you can still chip in some money. Well hell no, I'm sorry but I was willing to pay $400 for a gift that I was going to choose, that would have suited them just fine. Because he went off and chose a more expensive one that has features that I don't think he needs, then I am not going to pay $400. He can deal. Besides he didn't want me to have anything to do with choosing it so why should I help pay for his new toy. That upset me soooooo much. Maybe I am being ridiculous, but I have reasons for being so upset about it and maybe my explanation sounds ridiculous, but it makes sense to me. So now I'm gonna go to bed. I am here alone and I have noone to talk to so I might as well get another hour of sleep in before I have to get ready for work. A week of standing around dealing with bitchy customers just doesn't seem right compared to a week of sitting in sunny Georgia watching softball games and swimming in the pool. Oh well.

6:28 am	and they're off...... I just saw 14 girls dressed in pajama pants and mile wide smiles, leave on a bus ride that will last at least 23 hours. These girls are on their way to Georgia. Their coach, dressed in a scuba mask, yellow dishwashing gloves, and flippers, woke everyone up with a little humor. The girls have been calling him SCUBE STEVE (his name is Steve) for weeks now so he finally decided to rent Big Daddy and learn what they were all talking about, today he came in costume. Each girl wrote a little note on the outside of her window in dry-erase marker. And the bus, along with the caravan of vehicles that will follow the bus, is covered with green marker tape, tied anywhere the girls could find a loop, hook, or door handle that it could flap off of. And they're off....off to the National Junior Olympic Softball tournament in Marietta, Georgia. They will be playing against the best of the best. These girls have only been playing together as a team for a month now. Although many have known each other since they started kindergarten, and some of them have played together on assorted town and school softball teams in the past. They will be up against teams from Florida and other warmer states where girls play on travel teams that play year-round. There, softball is life. To be on the team you have to pay hundreds, even thousands of dollars, and devote entire years to your team and your sport. Those teams are good...but our girls think they can handle it. They may not play year-round, or pay thousands of dollars, but these girls have great sportsmanship, and they have heart. They love the coach they have and the team they are playing with. They love each other, and most of all they love their sport. They don't expect to go far, then again, just getting this far has been a journey filled with surprises and accomplishments. The other tournaments they have won and the practices they have endured is something to be proud of in itself. Just to get to the National tournament is a feat that no team from Maine has ever accomplished. This fact alone makes the girls beam. Hopefully they can come home at the end of the week with a few wins under their belts....I'll just have to wait and see. Current Mood: awake (Comment on this)

And so they just got back from Pawtucket this last weekend and next Monday they will be leaving for Georgia!!! I wanna go to sunny Georgia!! The teams all get to go to a Beach party and I wanna go here are the reasons: a)hot guys b)beach party c)SUN!!! d)softball!!!! e)did I mention it's in GEORGIA!!! So I have to work that week. Everyone is telling me to quit my job but I can't do that to the people I work with. Unfortunately I am already scheduled to work 38 hours that week. And its not like I can just drive down for a day and then drive back the next night to work...oh no...from Maine to Georgia is a 22-24 hour drive!!!! Oy. So I am going to qork today to try and work something out with my manager. I am off to sulk somemore and then off to work. Bye.

11:48 pm	13 HOURS!!!!!!! I worked 13 hours today...I am soooo tired. My family is in Rhode Island for the 16-under girls regional softball tournament...I have the house to myself the an entire weekend and what am I doing?!?!?! working and sleeping...yup, I am officially the MOST boring person on the face of this earth. I got invited to go to watch fireworks with my high school friends but I was working instead...that is the first chance I have had to spend time with them since I moved home from school and I had to work. Ugh. LOL I got bored on Friday and had nothing to do (I actually had a day off) so I got so bore that I cooked all this homemade food...and then I was the only one here to eat it so our fridge is just stuffed with food. LOL oops...guess I should have invited some people over to help eat it...lol too bad Nick wasn't home. Oh well. Next week is Beth's birthday and I have presents for her but I don't know when I am going to have a chance to give them to her *pouts*. She came to visit last weekend and we went and shot off rockets with my little sister and then I took her to the ocean and we walked and collected seaglass and explored. It was great fun, I love the ocean, one major reason I will have to live somewhere in Maine when I graduate from college. I have officially decided that someday I will live on the Maine coast somewhere. You know...someday when I'm rich. Ryan IMed me the other day and we have been sending e-mails back and forth...I am so excited. I didn't really get to say goodbye to him and that was kind of upsetting and I miss him. Fortunately...I am able to e-mail him and I will get to see him again in a little more than a month!!!!!! I miss RIT at times but I know that when I move back to Rochester, into the new apartment I will share with Beth, that I will miss my family. So I have just deicided to enjoy the time I have and try not to fight with them so much. I love them but I have to admit they act like morons sometimes. Oh well...what can ya do?!?! A whole lot a nuthin'. Goodnight all....and now I sleep...by myself, in a lonely, empty house. Current Mood: lonely Current Music: Bye Bye Bye!!!!!!! (Comment on this)

11:25 pm	sad movie I watched an awesome movie with my family tonight, Charlotte Grey. It was soooo good...I even cried for awhile. So I found out today that I will only have two jobs for the rest of the summer...they decided to close the lobster cart because they just weren't getting enough business...bummer...I need to pick up some more hours somewhere...I'm not sure how yet. I am sooo tired..as usual. Beth came to visit the other day. Shey spent the night and then we spent the next day helping Kelly build some rockets, shooting off the rockets with my family, and then Beth and I went to the ocean and walked the beach picking up seaglass and exploring. It was soo pretty I just love the ocean. Someday I hope to live near the ocean, but only in Maine. The ocean in Maine is unlike the ocean in any other place...I don't know why, but I am sure of that. Anyway off to bed for me...I have yet another long day of work tomorrow. Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: the crickets, peepers and frogs outside my window (Comment on this)

9:04 pm	do you ever??? every feel lonely...I do. I don't know why. Sometimes at night I go outside and sit in the moonlight on the bench in our yard holding a teddybear...and I think. I can't really explain what I think about. It's just so much...it gets confusing...actually I would say that I spend 75% of my life confused. But sitting under the stars and the moon...with a soft, fuzzy companion...I think it helps...maybe. I dunno. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:35 pm	today sucked!!!!!!!! Imagine that...I had a bad day. Well it all started with the fact that my car was vandalized last night....someone thought it would be hilarious to write on my rear window with Latex Calk and then pour (what the cops think is) Armorall into my gastank and then they tried to glue my gas tank shut!!!! Luckily they changed their minds and just left my gastank open so the glue would dry....but now before gluing our mailbox shut. So I finally get on the road to work...oh I think I failed to tell you what I was doing for work today.....oh yes I was walking in a parade dressed as a LOBSTER!!!!!!! I kid you not. So I get to Freeport (the toen I work in) and their is a road race (running) going on...so it takes me forever to get to the Middle School where the floats and groups all line up. And when I get there they tell me I'm marching with 9 kids....so the parents drop off their kids and leave them with me. This wouldn't jhave been a problem because I love kids but these kids were little hellions...they were the worst behaved children I have ever met in my entire life. If I EVER have children that behave like that I swear to god I will commit suicide before I raise them as my own offspring. So I roasted to death dressed as a lobster and dealt with the kids and I survived the parade (god only knows how). And next I had to work for 8 hours. I am told that I am closing the shop by myself. This isn't a big deal I have closed the shop lots of times...but not on a holiday. I thought it would be fine because we hadn't had any customers for at least 45 minutes and then 2 minutes before I am supposed to lock the door a woman comes strolling into the shop. No big deal I think...she will look around and leave. I was wrong...it took her half an hour of trying glasses on (and asking me my opinion of every pair) to decide that she didn't want any glasses....UMMM HELLO THE SIGN SAYS WE CLOSE AT 6 AND I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE....DO YOU THINK IT COULD HAVE TAKEN ANY F-ING LONGER TO DECIDE!!!!! So I close the store and count out the register with no problems, and went to the bank and dropped off the deposit for the night. Now I have plans to meet my family at the Seadogs Game (minor league team in Maine) in Portland. No problem there I am about 20 minutes later then they planned but thats okay because I am meeting them inside. So I get there...and OF COURSE...all the parking lots were full...so I had to walk 15 minutes from mom's car (because mine is undrivable at the moment)to the game. At this point I have decided that I might as well die because after a day like today my life isn't worth living (I'm not REALLY going to commit suicide I am mentally healthy don't worry). So the game was okay...seadogs lost but it's ok. So a few good things came out of the day though--a boys camp called The Skylemar Camp was at the game...and oh my god they have the HOTTEST counselors!!!!!!! I caught at least one of them checking my out...purrrrrrrr(maybe next summer I will work at an all boys camp seeing that we have at least 30 or so ritzy all boys camps in Maine with really HOT counselors). And the fireworks were great...I love July 4th...it's gotta be one of my favorite holidays....so now I go to bed because tomorrow I have to work until 11:30 at night and then drive home for at least an hour...oy...so tired.

10:06 pm	Bourne Identity OMG I just saw Bourne Identity tonight...such a good movie. I loved it. And Matt Damon is STILL purr-worthy...purrrrrrr. I love Matt Damon...hehe.

12:21 pm	most humiliating job ever Well next week I will be working 3 jobs for the week and after that I will only be working 2 jobs for the rest of the summer. I guess working 3 jobs isn't so bad because I need money, unless of course you consider WHAT the job is. Yes folks this will be the most humiliating week of my entire life (well maybe not quite as humiliating as the whole bloody nose on the bus story, but we won't get into that right now)...so I'm going to be walking around Freeport, Maine wearing a huge lobster costume to advertise for "the Lobster Cart" (a cute little place that sells salads, sandwiches, lobster rolls, etc...). So I am going to be sweating my ass off in a hot costume in 85 degree weather. And all kinds of stupid tourists are gonna want their picture taken with me *groans*. I HATE STUPID TOURISTS!!!!!!!!!!! So I will be working almost 50 hours next week...this better be worth it. I will also add that I AM bringing a camera to get a picture of this most humiliating occasion. Oy. What can I say...this could only happen in Maine. Oh and on top of all that...normally I get 2 days off a week...well the week of the 19th I am only getting one day off!!!! Eww...how much does that suck?!?! Now I am going to take a shower. Current Mood: dirty Current Music: Dirty Vegas-days go by (Comment on this)

10:58 am	yay FROGS!!! and lily-pads!!! YAY!!! I am about to go outside and work on the water garden. We have a small pond with a pump in it and a little watterfall into it and we get about 8 frogs each year that ,igrate up from the brook behind our house!!! Mom went and bought some new plants for the pond--lilies and water irises!!! I love the pond it is always soo pretty to look at and listen to. Ok well I am going to clean the leaves out of the bottom and get the pump put in for the summer. PRETTY POND!!! We might get Koi fish for it this year!!! Current Mood: excited (Comment on this)
8:50 am	I'M SOOOOO TAN!! New Hampshire was great...I'm so happy that I finally got to see Beth. Before my visit it had been more than a month since we had seen each other!!!!! She lifeguards so we sat in the sun all day talking and catching up on everything and it was soo funny because most of the parents on the beach thought I was a lifeguard too because I had a RED tankini on. AHAHAHA!!! If they only new how bad I am at swimming. Well Beth and I had a blast. I only got a little burned (because evidently I am an idiot when it comes to applying sunscreen. So I came home Monday night and then Tuesday morning I cleaned around the house before heading off to work. And Tuesday at work I found out that I will be starting a second job tomorrow (Friday). So now I will be averaging around 45-48 hours a week between the two jobs. Oy...I feel exhausted already. So now that I have a day off, what am I doing?? ...oh yes..I'm cleaning around here. Sounds like fun. Ok well I have to go pick up Kelly from Basketball Camp...and then I'm off to clean...good day all.
