Work: i work at staples and my hours have been cut in half from 3 days a week to 1 or 2 days. which is a big deal cause i only work on weekends to pay bills and i do school during the week. im so tired of hearing of this bad “economy” its getting pretty old. my dad talks about it so much it makes me crazy. he owns his own business and complains about it. seriously how does a bad economy have anything to do with towing cars? do you just leave them in the road now cant you cant afford a 50 dollar tow? maybe cars have gotten better and not needing to be towed/repaired as much. thats what i think it is.

Money: im getting money from a few sources other than work which is nice so im not too worried about not having any. ill have my tax return, and my school money coming to me which will be a few G’s so with that ill go on a

Vacation: me, danny, julianne, and whoever else are taking a week long trip to disney/universal/orlando for a vacation. its always nice to get away from the life here for a while. last year i went with danny and mandy (someone i met from stickam that lived in florida at the time) to disney world for a day which was awesome. year before that i went with another girl on a two day trip to universal studios. i have pics of both trips i promise to upload one of these days. if you are my friend i have them on facebook or myspace which gives you a reason to find my links and add me up.

New Shoes: so after many years of service i retired my old shoes. i dont remember which ones they were but i just remember they were I-Paths which were awesome. my grandmother bought me a new pair cause my old ones were falling apart so bad they barely stayed on my feet. incase you want to know they are the Globe Magnum Mid’s.

and thats all for this blogpost. follow me up on twitter or something.

I went to my great grandmothers funeral on Monday and afterwards I ate at Dennys with my family. The funeral and dinner that day was the closest thing I’ve had to a family reunion since she started to fade out over the last few years since she was the one that organized them. It was fun I got to see all my family together and my mom and other immediate family got to brag about me going to school. Speaking of that I have two actors in my family(Scott Holroyd and Allison Munn) which I got to share my interest in film and my film school stories with. Which was really cool cause I haven’t seen him for years or his actor wife ever (other than on tv which doesn’t count).
On new years I didn’t do much it was too cold. I watched people blow up fireworks and I had a veggie burger and chips with taco/bean dip which was amazing. I spent time with an awesome girl and her family.
On another note I applied for a student loan so I can hopefully go to school next semester if my dad fails at helping me cause he owes trident for last semester and he owes me 400 from a bad check.
Oh well.

Can I come to yours?” it didnt take long before this response came to my inbox.

so here i am helping a customer installing her printer for her etc etc. and it was closing time i showed her how to set it up wireless when she gets home. took it out to her car. and she was like hold out your hand and slipped me a 20. i guess people like me

this morning:
so there is this website, www.retailaccess.com, its for retail employees of certain chains to learn about products, get prizes, and buy stuff at discount. last year i won a seagate freeagent pro 320 gb hard drive. i got an email saying i won it and it came a few weeks later. so here i am today checking my mail and i got my usual netflix dvd and a letter from retail access. i dont know why they would send a letter. i opened it up and it was a 10 dollar amex gift cheque. so the moral of the story is enter lots of contests and youll win something. i mean the drive at the time was worth close to 200 dollars.
