Ok, so last Monday, we *meaning, me, Mike, and a few others* tore down a wall in our house. It WAS the wall that separated our bedroom from the room across the hall. So, now, our room is the full length of our house. It's ephing huge. I love it. So, we were just getting things cleaned up, when Mike and an epiphany! What if we put a kitchenette up here?! We talked it over, made some floor plans and started getting things up here. Things such as a dishwasher, double sided sink, flat range, cabnet oven, and a fridge. Guess what?! It looks GREAT! I love it! Just one problem *there's always a problem with things that I love* Both the range top and the oven take a 220... and so does our new clothes dryer.... and our hot water heater is already on a 220.... and this house is over 100 years old....
Yeah, I'm not to sure if we should do that... hook up all of those 220's, I mean.
BUT I REALLY LOVE THIS KITCHENETTE!
It looks so good in our room too! Sorry, I was just informed that it's not just a room, it's a Master Suite. *rolls eyes* Hell, it has my bed in it, it has four walls around the bed, a roof and celing over it and a floor... which makes it a room, so therefor, it's a BEDROOM. LOL But, I love ths space. It's alot better than being cramped in our old, itsy bitsy bedroom. I can actually breathe in this room.
So, any how, my younger brother, Jason and I were talking tonight about starting up our own business. House cleaning business. I used to own half of a house cleaning business with my dad. Then, started college and was taking 23 credit hours and I just couldn't contiue, so, we closed all of our accounts and that was that. I'm ready to get back into it. It's great money and you can pretty much make your own hours. I enjoy making other people's houses beautiful, especially the ones in upscale Kansas City. They take my breath away. And the lofts are awesome. Plus, there's a new district going up in KC called The Power & Light District and it is going to be really high scale with penthouses... we could make a killing off of those! (http://www.powerandlightdistrict.com) We are going to City Hall on Tuesday to apply for a business licence... I love owning my own business! Cross your fingers, let's hope this works!
Yup, I'm going back to college. Mike and I were talking tonight about how I am almost always stuck here at the house. I feel like a caged animal. So, we decided that I should go back to college.
I'll be going to the Metropolitian Community College, Blue River Campus starting this coming Spring. I am going to get my prerequisits out of the way so I can start on my Sign Language Interpreting degree in the Fall of '07. I can't wait to go back and being a SLI has been my dream career since I was a little girl. I love the deaf community... they can teach you so much. I am so excited! I just can't express how excited I am. For once in my life, I am giddy with excitement! Wow, this feels weird. Oh, my mother-in-law is going to Blue River also to get her CNA, so we might get to carpool alot. I love her to death and spending time with her more is awesome. No, really, I mean that. I really do love her.
Any how, Imma get off here now. I don't know what else to say about going back except what I have already said. :)
Yes, I blacked out today. Big time. In my sister's car. You see, it all started when...
I decided to donate plasma today. For those of you who don't know how that works, I'll explaine. They hook you up to this huge machine. then they have a reseviour that the blood goes into. Then, the machine separates the plasma from the red and white blood cells. Then, the blood cells are pumped back into your body. Plasma is the protein in the blood. It has a yellowish clear color to it. That's how it is done in a nutshell... It takes about 2 hours to complete. They WERE going to take 850 units of plasma from me... I only got to 810 before my stomach started doing flip-flops, I broke out in a cold sweat, my fingers and lips started tingling, I started seeing double, and the techinitions said that I lost all color and my lips turned yellow. A technition came over to me and asked me how I felt, trying to get me to talk and stay awake, which was really good. I was on the verge of passing out. He turned off the machine, they put an ice pack behind my neck and elevated my feet. After a few moments, I started feeling better. The nurse came and took my blood pressure and it was waaaay low. I think it was bout 60/37 or something like that. She got me some juice, took my blood pressure a few more times and I felt great after laying there for about 30 min and relaxing. I got up, checked out and Nicole and I waked out the door. On the way home, I lit a cigarette *you aren't supposed to smoke right before you donate cause it makes your heartbeat speed way up* Her and I were talking and she said something to the effect of "We should go to my house and get online since your internet is down tonight." Some how I muttered out "I don't think we should. I feel funny" as everything started going black. Next thing I knew, Nicole was slapping the back of my neck and shoulder yelling, "Sis! Are you ok! Wake up!" I shot my head up and said "Yeah, I'm fine." "You blacked out on me and dropped out cigarette between your legs" That scared the crap out of me. We got to my house, I went to my room, layed down and passed out for the next 5 hours, sleeping like a baby. I am fine now, as you can guess, but that scared me. I donate again on Saturday and hopefully this won't happen again. This was my first time donating and my body just isn't used to it.
What fun, hu?
Oh, the joys of every day suprises,yet again! LOL
So! One of my many brother-in-laws came in town for the weekend from Salt Lake City Utah. You see, my sister-in-law graduated from Rockhurst University on Saturday with a Bachelors of Sceince in Nursing. (Yay Val!) Any who, back to the story at hand!
I love my bro-in-law to death. He is great. His name is Frank and he's 31. Well.... My sister, who is 21 likes him alot... maybe that is an understatement. I know that's an understatement. In her words "He is EPHING §exxy as hell!" She has NEVER gone for a guy more than 2 or 3 years older than her. Frank got in town Thursday night *kinda late too* and Nicole and I were the only ones who could pick him up. Now, before Thursday night, Nicole had never ever seen Frank in her entire life.
As soon as she laid her eyes on him, she liked him.
So, Saturday night, we had a party for him here at our house. It was great, lotsa drinking, lotsa laughs, lotsa fun. Probablly the most fun I have had in a long time. Then, as Frank was leaving, he asked Nicole out on a date for Sunday.
Now, when Frank is in town, everybody wants to spend time with him. And there's lots of us to spend time with. He took out almost all day Sunday and spent it with Nicole. They went to the movies, had lunch... and she was so suprised cause he bought everything. Doesn't she know that there are still real men out there??? Frank is one of them. Pure gentleman. I felt good letting my baby sister in his care for the day. She came back to my house after their day long date extatic. She has been glowing all night long. He has to leave tomorrow and she is so sad that he has to go. I am too. I love chillaxin with him and drinking. But, maybe he will come by Kansas City more often since she is here.... Hmmmm.... something to think about.
That's the great weekend I/we had *we meaning Nicole too* Any how, Imma go. I got home made bread to bake for Frank to take home with him tomorrow. :) Already made the Strawberry-Banana Jam to go on the bread.
Ok, so I had it out with the roomies all weekend. They pissed me off to no end.
I also miscarried on Friday
Forgave the roomies 9 am Suday morning... no more stress in the house.
I am fine after the miscarrage.
Mike and I are closer than before.
End of story.
No, really, it does.
Dad took off from work and hour and a half early today to put the new alternator in her car.
So sweet of him.
Come to find out, Nicole didn't need to spend $210 on a new alternator...
Dad unplugged it when he put the radiator in yesterday....
AAAAAAAAAND forgot to plug it back in...
DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!
Just kidding... this is a good thing. She can take the alternator back now.
So, we really didn't have to be out until 4 o'clock in the ephing morning waiting on the ephing tow truck to get us.
GOD EPHING DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!
I could have been sleeping....
But, if this never would have happened, you all would never have gotten the chance to read about it!
Oh the joy of every day suprises!
Ok, I am sick to my stomach from the stress of yesterday... I am going to lay down before I fall over.
Blah.
Yesterday was a bad day.
It started out just fine. Nothing wrong. My sister (Nicole) and I went to the auto parts store to buy a new radiator for her car. That went great. She was kinda stressin about money and the guy there made both of us laugh. Made things a bit light hearted. Got to her house and waited for Dad to get there to take out the old radiator and put in the new one. I knew I could have done it, but shyt, why should I when Dad can do it? LOL
That went all good. While he was working on her car, we borrowed Grandma's car to go to my house to pick something up. Mike was there and met me outside. I didn't want to talk or see anybody else from my house (room mates) cause I just wasn't in the mood.
Some shit flew to the celing and I almost left Mike over it. Almost.
I got mad, kicked out one of the room mates.
Then, one of the room mates (wife to the one I kicked out) totally disrespected me in such a way that I don't think I can forgive her. (Her and him are getting a divorce and she blew up at me... horribly... for kicking him out. Get the F*UCK over it! You are divorcing his ass!) It's not that she hurt my feelings, it's that she was down right rude and mean. She lives in my house. I am one of two home owners. The other is Mike. She has NO say so what so ever in this house. Mine and Mike's word is final. As far as I am concerned, her and my friendship is null and void until she can appologize to my face for what she did.
So, we had them sign a rules list and a lease. We gave them one final warning. If they break even one of the rules, no matter which one it is, they are evicted. The first and last rule on the list is "Not following all of these rules is subject to immediate eviction." Now, that dosen't mean that we will evict them immedatly, BUT, I can guarantee you that if she ever disrespects me like that again, she can high tail it out of here. Her husband too. He disrespected me just as bad, but in a more subtle way.
Well, Mike and I got our things worked out. We are ok. Everything is fine there.
Everything is worked out with the rommies. One mess up, they are gone. We have been too lenient.
Then, Nicole and I decided to go to Wendy's for a late night snack. Her car died in the drive through.
DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!
If it wasn't one thing, it was another.
Her alternator went out. Just like that. It wasn't anything that Dad did... It just went out.
(On top of that, while she was backing out of the drive way after dad got done with the radiator, the gate tried to swing closed on her car and shattered her driver side mirror.)
You see, she just got a job with immagration. Making hell of alot better money than at Hobby Lobby, as you can guess on your own. She thought that by this month, she would be able to move into her own place and not live with Grandma any more.
Well, lemme tell you what, when you hand out over $1000 for your car to run and your check is only $700, it's kinda a kill joy.
So, I have roadside assistance on my cell phone. I had her car towed to Grandma's.
She went and got a new alternator today and put out another ephing $210. Of course she will get $50 of that back when she returns the core... but still. Between her and I yesterday, it was pretty god damn shitty.
I just want to crawl into a hole and die.
I am very depressed right now.
I'll take Mike with me to crawl into a hole and die.
At least we will still be together.
LIfe's a bitch... and I quit smoking... so I can't even get high to escape.
DAMN IT TO ALL HELL!!!!!
Dad can't work on her car today cause he has to work. He cant tomorrow either cause it's his annaversary with evil bitch.
Nicole is trying to convince Grandma to let her use her car tonight to go to work and have dad work on her car tonight. She has a car pool that DEPENDS on her. Hopefully she can convince Grandma. That's kinda a far reach though. Grandma is partial to her car.
I am going to stop rambling now.... before I get myself upset.
