All my weird random thoughts

Let me just start off by saying I got the idea to participate in Funny Photo Friday from my friend over at Under The Arch.



Now I will explain the picture. Its from a family game that we play every now and then around the winter holidays when its too cold to venture outside. Its kind of like musical chairs with a twist. We take one of the kids "Bop It" toys and pass it around all while someone is playing music on the stereo, whoever is holding the Bop It when the song stops must reach into the bag full of assorted clothing items without looking and take out an item and put it on. so I thought I would post this pic of my cousin because its just goes to show how silly we are. It starts to get real interesting after a while!

I recently applied for a new position at work. My manager interviewed me for it last night but there are 4 others who also applied for this position. Of the people I know that put in for it they would all do a good job I think. I'm just kinda nervous because I really want to get this position. I think I can be really good at it and that it would be a good experience..... So I am awaiting a response.. all of the interviews are done.. now just waitin for the answer which should come early in the week...... so I am impatiently awaiting an answer... did i mention I freakin HATE waiting? haha The fact that theres a current stressor in my life that is making me crabby has made waiting even worse... Oh well.. wish me luck!

so what does one do when they have generally 100% inappropriate dream. i mean the kind of dream that throughout the day when it pops into your head you turn bright red with embarrassment because you feel like everyone can read your thoughts. GAH! lol or better yet when you see the person from said inappropriate dream you cant stop thinking bout the dream and then you turn bright red again because you feel like they can read your thoughts. and then they ask you why your face is red... oh bloody hell... i am in trouBLE.

TATTOOS. I don't currently have any. However I plan to get one.. hopefully in the near future. I had picked out one of a penguin but now I am leading more towards a 4leaf clover. My friends have been laughing at me cuz I have yet to get it and I have been talking about it for a couple years now. Oh well soon enough I guess.

SCHOOL... Last fall I really screwed up. I was on academic probation and then I did not get my grades back up high enough and was placed on academic suspension. So this semester I am going to the local community college and I am doing really well in all of my classes. I have 2 A's and 2 B's. Hopefully my grades will be high enough that SIUE will let me come back in the fall. I have heard that they make it difficult for people to get back in once they have been suspended, however I have been doing everything they 'say' they require for re-admittance.

RUM! haha I love rum. Especially Captain Morgan. It is one thing that I can drink and not get sick the next day! Many good memories and funny stories of mine have had rum involved..

At one point my friend Bri and I had gone to see the Amityville Horror (the remake) in the theatre. After the movie we went back to Bri's apartment where I got this brilliant idea that I should be drinking lol So I popped open a bottle of rum and started drinking. I only had 2 or 3 drinks. However, I had the strangest freaking dream that night! At one point in the dream I was being eaten alive by a TURTLE. One of the slowest freakin animals in the world! Anywho just a sample of what happens when I drink rum!

Oy with the poodles alreadY! This is just one of the many wacky things I have learned from watching Gilmore Girls over the years. They talk fast and always say something witty/quirky. It is one of my all-time favorite shows and my best friend bri and I regularly sound like we could be on the show! lol maybe its from watching it so much!

The two oldest I got to see last summer and the youngest I have not seen in 3 years! However, that will be changing this summer cuz my parents and I are going to see her! I was finally able to get the time off work! Gotta luv paid vacation! two of my sweet girls at the zoo!

MEN! why are they so freaking annoying and irritating? gah! I mean I know there is no real answer and that its just the way they are but for crying out loud! As I have said before I work at Lowes which is primarily dominated by MEN! Most of the time its fine and it can be fun but every now and then it gets sorta frustrating. Especially when they start telling me bout the "code 10" in aisle 4 (aka hot chick in aisle 4) and I'm just like I'm sorry did you forget who you were talking to? The other night was an interesting night but I'm amazed no one got punched in the throat lol I was one of two girls working in the entire store.. And the other girl was all the way on the other side of the building. Anywho enough of my ranting about men for today!

LOWES. It just so happens to be my place of employment. I have been there almost 2 years and most of the time its a pretty good job and I like it. I work in Customer Service which I love. I've almost always got something I can be doing, most of the time more than one thing at a time. Its nice because one of the things I hate is just standing around doing nothing at work, it is so boring. At least if I am busy or have something to do it makes the time go by a lot quicker. While Cust. Serv. can be stressful and irritating at times it seems like a good fit for me. Most of the people I work with are great, since I started working there I have acquired some more pretty great friends.

KYLE.... I was having trouble thinking of a topic for the letter K. Then while talking a girl from work I was reminded of something... One afternoon my friend April and I went to the local Applebees for after work drinks. While sitting at the bar we began to notice something. There were two bartenders, a guy and a girl. At lease once or twice per minute the girl would say "Hey Kyle...". This was making us laugh because not only were they the only two workers in the bar and were standing right next to each other she said it EVERYTIME she had something to say to him. This was driving me and April quite crazy. It was so obvious by the way she acted towards him and the nervous "Hey Kyle" that she was into him. After awhile and a couple drinks we started in with the "Hey Kyle". All in all it was an entertaining afternoon..

So for about 5 months or so we were "seeing" each other and hanging out. I was having a great time and you appeared to be as well. However the two of us were in different places and it became obvious that it wasn't working out. I was ready for a relationship and you had just gotten out of a serious one and were looking for fun. Well let me just say that I had fun during those 5 months. I enjoyed spending time with you. And if I had a second opportunity I wouldn't change a thing, because it was a sort of learning experience for me. I learned some things about myself and dating that I hadn't previously know/experienced. . Your need for just having fun is fine and theres nothing wrong with it. However, you were unable to come right out and say it. I am just chalking it up to a learning experience. So I just wanna say Thank You.

Sincerely,
Sarah

I let you manipulate me for quite almost 2 YEARS! I don't know why I did.. You had me completely fooled when I first met you, you were sweet and nice and funny. And when you acted like an ass, I figured hey its just a fluke thing. It seemed too good to be true... which I later discovered it in fact was. Maybe because you are so convincing and MANIPULATIVE.... I believed everything you told me the "truths" and the excuses and the but I'm sorrys. I had problems with friends because they tried to tell me you were wrong for me and that you werent a good guy. And I didn't talk to them as often because of it. A few months ago you came to me and apologized for past behaviors and lying. Recently I believed you when you said "can we still be friends", and told me how important my friendship is to you. You had me tricked for a few weeks with that one. But then your true colors showed through and I realized that you are the same person you have been for the last two years. So now I am saying NO MORE. You will not manipulate me any longer. You are not the person I thought you were. So goodbye my dear manipulative ass. Please find someone new.

Sincerely,
Sarah

While I enjoy recieving appreciative looks from members of the opposite sex, I find it slightly awkward to have you standing practically on top of me looking down my shirt....FREQUENTLY. I mean I understand that you are taller than I so you must look down a little when speaking to me. But face is up here buddy! lol Also I feel that there is a time and place for a guy to be that close to me however, your place of choice is not quite it. This is occuring on a regular basis, and don't feel like you are a freak, its not just you, there are numerous Ass-hats that this letter is written for. But next time I may just have to start singing when I see you standing right behind me.......

*Dont Stand, Don't stand so, Don't stand so close to me*


Sincerely,
Sarah

So tomorrow being April 1st marks a new opportunity to participate in Nablopomo. And I am going to give my best effort to post every day. The theme being letters, has given me a lot of ideas and I think I have something to go on. So thats a plus! The first couple are going to be letters written to people. Hopefully I can remember and keep up with it this time! Wish me luck!

So Bri and I went and saw Stop Loss tonight. It was a good movie.. I will definitely admit that.. But probably not the best choice of film for Bri or I to see. I can't stop thinking bout Dan and worrying bout him. While it is two totally different areas and two different type of things going on between the movie and what Dan will be doing I am still now stressing the hell out. I luv ya goober.

So we recently found out where my brother and his family will be stationed when he gets back from Korea next year in May. They will be stationed at a base in Ohio. It sucks that they will not be here at Scott! However, the base is only about 5 or 5 1/2 hours away, which is MUCH closer than they are now or have been in the past. So hopefully we will get to see them more often once they get to Ohio next year.

So there is basically one more month of ACTUAL classes left for this semester. So thats exciting. And I am doing really well.. Right now I've got an A in one class and B's in at least 2 of the other 3 classes. Can't wait for the semester to be over though. Who knew... Going to class is half the battle! lol

Work is going alright... I'm getting ready to work the next 7 days straight. which will suck but hopefully it wont be too bad...

Heard from Dan today.. he made it to Kandahar ok... It was a 27 hour flight! I would be going crazy being on a plane that long. But he made it alright...And he told me it will be around 130-140 degrees there this summer! HOly shit thats hot! lol

Well thats all for now... off to bed.

So I got placed on academic suspension from SIUE after the fall semester.... NOT GOOD I started this semester at SWIC and I am doing really well. Hopefully I can get my grades up enough and CONVINCE SIUE to take me back for the fall.. Wish me luck!

Work is going alright.... I'm not working TOO many hours which is good because it helps me be able to focus more on school. Which is weird cuz I am actually doing homework and studying and going to class and doing well... I just needed something to make me change my habits... unfortunately getting suspended was not what I had in mind.

Spring Break is next week......I am not going anywhere nor am I doing anything very exciting. I will be working 3 of the weekdays....

In approximately ONE MONTH we will be finding out where my brother and his family will be stationed when he comes back from Korea. AND they listed the base near us as their number one choice! so we are all crossing out fingers hoping they get it!

now he is not actually leaving for Korea until May and then will be there for a year. and then when he comes back next year in May they will move on to their new base. Hopefully here with us!
