FUN STUFF..


So this is why I am busy most of this semester :)



So my week hasn't been that great either.. long story short.. yesterday - cop SEES ME buckle my seatbelt while driving, didn't get pulled over though.. Then my tire goes flat on Garfield, road assistance comes, puts on my spare, then my battery dies.. so then he has to jump start me.. then I ended up being an hour later for work..

Also, side note: I now have a new boss.. We have a new store manager at work now. I'm going to miss heather :(.. she was fun to work with..

Doctors are stupid

So the MRI is completely normal, imagine that. And nothing is wrong with my knee so I don't need a follow up they say. However, I don't this would be going on since July if nothing was wrong with it. I think most doctors are stupid because half the time I go to one, I get a new prescription for IBU800 or IBU600 or Darvocet, and the last time I visited he was going to give me something else but I said I didn't want anything... I think they just like to make me come in every 2 weeks so they can have my money.. idiots...

So now that I've vented about that.. My accomplishments today..

I finished MOD (Manager on Duty) training on the computer so tonight I learned how to close... and I will close Friday night and Tuesday night.

Tomorrow consists of a lot of homework, in addition to running to Bay City quick and probably Movie Gallery for a second if I get time. We'll see.. but thats about all.. the only thing I did today was get ready for work, and then work 2-9:30, come home, and do nothing :)...

Being Productive

Well today, I had a lot of homework I had to do, however, I didn't get any of this done. I made a list of bills and such last night, looked at it, and I decided, I need to work for my mom. I earned $10 today by setting her blog up for her, and helping her with some other things. I will continue to work for her throughout the month, and at the end of each month, I will add up all the money I made, and deduct it from payments I make to her every month (car payments, insurance, and cell phone). Good thinking for me. Because she agreed it will work nicely :). As for my homework, My mom said to wait until about 10pm for Zack to be off the livingroom computer so I could do my homework, seeing that I have to print and that's the only computer with a printer. Around 11:30ish he was off the computer. About 1am, I am working on my homework, then I get to a part in my book where I actually do something on the computer (it's for my online course). Well, come to find out, we have Microsoft Office 2000 in the livingroom, not 2003. So I have no way of doing my homework at my house now, unless we get the network set up so I can send documents to the printer from my computer, because you print as you go in this class. Or until we get Microsoft 2003 out there. My bet on which will happen faster, if it will work at all, the network.

So around 1:15 now, I am wide awake, because I went to bed at 9 and woke up at 11:30 to do homework. I try to figure out what to do, and it came to me. I am never productive when working on homework in my bedroom because my computer desk is a catastrophe. Papers EVERYWHERE. SO, what do I do? I decide to clean it off. I threw away over half of what was on the computer desk, cleaned it with Orange Cleaner (a cleaner for wood from Art Van), move my monitor to a better area, organize my papers that I kept, and then set my school books neatly on one side, my business cards and magnets on the right side, along with notecards, all purpose labels, and a notepad to write on, because I tend to write a lot. I also have my Spence Brothers mug, that I recieved free at a Business Expo, and that is to the right hand side with pens, pencils, highlighters, and a Sharpie. This took me a long time to do, (if you would have seen it before it was cleaned you would understand).

Now for my next goals...
1.) Clean out the sterilite Drawer cart to the right of my desk and organize it with my business materials, such as the catalogs, and order forms, etc.
2.) To organize the pile of clothes and other random things to the left of the computer desk.
3.) Clean off the vanity mirror.
4.) Organize the roll top desk.
5.) Organize the black 4 compartment shelf

And that's all for now.. So much to do, so little time.

Sledding

Well tonight, Kayla, Mitch, Anthony, Tracy, Alex, Jenny, Daniel, and I all went sledding. It was fun, but there was some downsides...

*Mitch landed on his tailbone
*Kayla landed on her tailbone quite badly
*I lost my phone
*A bone in Daniel's foot is broken in 2 spots

And thats how it ended up :) It was quite fun though..

So seeing that my nextel has disappeared into the snow... I will have to be buying a new one most likely... So therefore, I will not be switching over to a different service provider. There goes my Blackberry Pearl :(..

Tomorrow = MRI at 2:15, plus a lot of homework and reading...

Future Phone?

I want THIS to be my new phone...

Fresh Prince of Bel Air

I never realized, the 1st season of Fresh Prince of Bel Air had like another part to the song in the beginning. If you want to check it out for yourself, click this link...

My friend told me about this website, www.alluc.org, and there's a bunch of different tv shows to watch. I watched an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? and that was pretty stupid, seeing that I use to be scared of it when I was little. It makes me kind of laugh now thinking about that. Then I watched the 1st episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch and figured out how it all started, which was then followed by the 1st episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Not sure what my next show will be but you have the link now if you want to check any out :) . Although, to warn you ahead of time. Some of the shows don't have very good viewing quality.

Life on a Monday..

Well my classes began. I have Kuzdal for Business Communications, then Owings for Time Management and Business English. And for my online classes I have Southwell for Micro Computers in Business using MS Office, Drouse for Web Site Development using HTML, and I think Murphy for Lifelong Wellness. My classes don't seem too bad.. but I think it will be a lot of work.

I think I'm going to start looking for a 2nd part time position somewhere, but not sure yet. Just an idea. But the money would be nice.

I think I have 2 people who want to have home parties sometime in the spring, maybe, so that will be good. :) Still have to finish updating the website, however, that will take MANY MANY hours to put everything on there I want. So one category at a time.

Still in the process of making my purse, it was cut out, but I haven't had a chance to sew it up yet. There is some obstacles stopping me from doing that.

My mom has been looking into selling patterns online. If she can get it to work, that'll be relly good for her. She keeps trying to think of something to do online. Besides sell her doll clothes I think.

Hey, if anyone has cingular, how is the recpetion? We've been looking into new cell phones. My subscription ends in the summer for the Nextel I have.

For the last note, everyone should get together soon cuz Heidi keeps telling me that and I agree with her everytime, yet we don't get together :) lol. SO... soon... we shall.

Just Beginning

So I just started this blog. I quit updating on Livejournal a lot and don't use the myspace blog really, so I'm making a new one :).. And I'll probably actually use this one :).

Let's see... It's Winter break right now, Monday begins the new semester. The break has been ok. I have been pretty lazy and have accomplished nearly nothing. I did get a new job over break. I work at Movie Gallery, which is pretty sweet because I get free rentals.

The one major thing I did accomplish was fixing the Contents list on my website (www.akgiftgallery.com) and making it a drop down menu, which was quite hard to do, and took about 3 hours because I had to figure out how SSML code works. Fun stuff.

I play animal crossing pretty much everyday :) And watch a movie almost every night. I am in the process of re-learning how to sew :) I am trying to make myself a new purse :)

I think that's about it for now, I usually post more during the times classes are in session. So I'll probably post quite a bit from Jan. 8th until the end of April :).

And most entries probably won't be as boring as this one :)
