Friggin snow....

ok... So I was off at work yesterday... my mom was out shopping for stuff for Jarom's b-day thing.

I get off and call home to see what they're doing. (and to tell Jarom that I couldn't get signed up for Holmes. the lists were too full)

It turns out that my mom was off stuck at WinCo. *sigh* I didn't even know WHERE WinCo is. Great. I got off at 6. I asked when she had called... she'd been there since about 5:30-ish.

I guess she had gone out to the car and tried to start it, but it wouldn't turn over. Nice...

The lights would turn on. But no engine. Lovely...

So she called back and told me where WinCo is.

So I get there and find her. We sit there and wait for the tow truck. IT WAS UBER COLD!! My mom at least had boots and gloves and a big coat on. I was there with canvas tennis shoes, my work pants, no gloves, no hat... We sat there waiting.... and waiting. The tow truck was going to be a while. He was coming from an accident up in Parley's. With how slippery the snow was, and how slow the cars were moving and everything... it was definitely gonna be a while. At least we could go sit in the store. BUT we had to wait by the doors so we'd know when the truck showed up. So we sat by the cold doors.

There was this security guard (Louis) who came over to help us.... turns out he does a lot of work on cars (part time mechanic or something). He went and had a look-see at the car. He checked the battery --fine. Good power and everything. He checked some of the connections. They seemed to be ok. Hmm....

In the end, he basically told us what Gines told Mom on the phone --it was probably the starter. Yay... *rme* I guess at least that shouldn't be too hard to fix...

We waited for the tow truck. We finally left WinCo around 7:30. Mom wanted to follow/meet the driver over at the shop. Just to make sure he took it to the right place and everything.

He kept telling her she could just go home and he'd take care of it. She thought he was in a rush to get rid of us. I told her he probably figured she was cold and not very happy... probably wanted to go home. But she wanted to make sure it got there ok and she knew what was going on. I drove us over in the suburban (which I'm happy to say wanted to leave with us instead of a tow truck --unlike the dumb crown).

IT HURT TO DRIVE! Frozen digits + pressing on a stupid pedal = PAIN! They were all tingly. :( Not to mention my knee decided to start acting up, too.... Geez! :'( NO BUENO!!!!

We FINALLY get home and I can change in to warmer clothes! (can you hear the halleluja chorus too?) I put on leggings and pajama pants and thick socks and another shirt and a thick sweater! :D Happy day...

So this morning I took Mom to drop off the keys to the crown to Gines. Then to work. I then proceeded to go home, pick up Dad and take him to see the doctor. We hung out there... he got x-rays and all that jazz. Turns out he's got strep (on one side of his throat) and the start of pneumonia. Great, just great.

We drop off the prescriptions. Went and got food. Went home.

Mom calls. I go pick her up. Drive home. She eats and takes the car back to work. I sit here... in my pj's... writing. In the warm house. No stupid drivers. No snow covering my boots or soaking my pant legs. No cold wind freezing any bare skin. Just warm, comfy couch... my computer, and listening to various tracks on my mp3. (MJ, dane cook, elvis, etc.)

Not to mention Dad's inside... out of the cold. Hopefully he'll get better --AND FAST! We really don't want him back in the hospital. That would be bad. After all, he says he feels like he did back before he ended up in the hospital back in June.

Talk about a lot of crap. >:[ I'm pretty sure this stuff is going around, too.

Oh!! also.... I get to work tomorrow (new year's eve) from 9:30 pm to 7 am the next morning. I go home and sleep the day away, and then go back to work at 6:30 on the 1st. Ugh.... it BETTER be slow... anyone that shows up will probably get a portion of my wrath!! >:] Mwahahah..... I can be a beast if I feel like it. And I better get food in the morning. No sleep + no food... if you know me... you know I LOVE food!! someone will die.

Anyway... happy holidays..... :S

i'm excited for christmas. i can't wait to see what people think of what i got them! :)

i also have a work party tonight. we have this secret santa thing for the people in skate. i got andrew. i had no idea what to get him... so i asked christy for help. i ended up getting him a tee shirt with elmo's face on it. :D i was thinkin about gettin one with cookie monster for my mom.... :P

i have to take my gifts for my friends to them today... i'ma do that around noon-ish. i guess i'm taking brianna her's around 3 when she'll be home?

oh yeah... i still have to get something for mine doggie... and da kitteh. :) no idea what though...

bleh... finals :'(

so i think i got most (if not all) my christmas shopping done today. yay! :)

now to study for the finals, get my room cleaned, help put up the tree, and wrap everything!
can it be done already? (i think i'm dreading the finals the most) :\ i would like it to be wednesday night or thursday... that would be nice... that would mean my bio final was over and done with.... :D

i'm dreaming of a.... blizzard?

it's snowing.... A LOT!!! i swear we've gotten, like 6 inches in the past hour!! :S the other day the suburban kept trying to drift on EVERY turn... talk about scary!! i almost got totally stuck in the neighborhoods taking Amber to school this morning. not to mention there were TONS of cars lined up from the school to where our house is (about a mile up the street!) I was just happy that there wasn't tons of ICE to chip off the car this morning... :\

i forgot to mail in my phone bill, so now i get to go the to shop and pay it... *rme*

going to work is gonna be loads of fun. i just hope that everyone stays home and that i don't have to do ANYTHING today... that would be nice. not to mention i've got dance finals tomorrow and then a party thingy after that... so i should go get some sort of treat... ("if you bring it, you eat it... if you don't bring it, you don't eat it" it think it's a good idea... no pigging out if you don't contribute)

i've got an appointment to go talk to my counselor for school on the 22nd... that should be loads of fun... not. at least i'll get it over with and hopefully she'll be helpful... and not condesending like usual... >:[

CHRISTMAS is on it's way...

I'm getting a little excited for christmas this year... shopping can be sooo fun if you don't go broke &/or don't have to find anything uber impressive.

I've decided that for my wee cousins (and the babies of my cousins) I'm going to make some stuffed lizards! I want to go find some cute/cool material and awesome buttons for their eyes!! and I'm still debating on filling and tongues... (cotton or beans... tongues, no tongues...). I'm thinking this could be fun!

Let's see.... I think I've got about 11 or 12 to make. Hmm.... I wonder what colors to use? I've just got to make sure I make them different for the wee ones in the same houses. (so they don't mix them up and fight over it)

We'll see how it goes :)

School

So I took my in-class exam today. I actually got every question answered this time too!!! I also think I did way better on this one than on the last one. :D I sure hope so anyway.

Now to do the extra credit from the last test. (It's due on Monday).

AND I've got the finals for one class next week and for all the others in 2 weeks. Cross your fingers everybody... I really wanna pass these! ;)

Also, I have to decide if I really wanna take all those hard classes next semester. I don't really wanna get all burned out... or die carrying all those books around on the same day. Maybe I'll drop the bio class for now? I need to take the chem and math before I forget everything I learned THIS semester.

We'll see what happens.

AAAAGGGRRRAAAAJJJJAAAAGGGGG!!!!!!

Alright!! I FINALLY got the stupid classes all registered for! :@ I didn't get the biology one I originally wanted, but I guess I get to go with anatomy.... Yay.... *rme*

What, you might ask, am I doing awake at this time in the morning? It's quite simple, really. Listening to MJ, writing in my blog... the real REASON for my still being up is that I just got my classes all registered for!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucky little me had to wait til now to register cuz I don't have as many credit hours as the (asumingly) many other SLCC students... my "peers." They got to sign up earlier if they had more credits.... so what I was originally going to take were already gone when I checked at around 9pm today/yesterday... whatever you wanna call it. Considering I haven't slept yet, I'm going to say tonight. :)

I still have a takehome test and stuff to do. I'm going to go catch a few Zs.... or try to. (they can run surprisingly fast! it's crazy considering they don't have legs or anything.... they're not even among the living and they can do a pretty swell job of it. elusive Zs.... I curse you! at least tonight... any other night, it's just fine. that is, if it's not all hot and humid. those nights I can't seem to catch the little buggers either.)

Well.... I bid a a bitter sweet Aloha...er.... adeu? hmmm..... :\ Good night!! t(^-^t)



(ps... did any of you catch the title? :P it's the name of the weird bat thing that wants to kill arthur cuz he's always there when the reincarnation of him dies!! bwahahaha!!!! ahh... hitchhiker's humor! ....or something like it.)

Fun stuff!!

I am typing this on my loverly new laptop! :) it's so fun... i got everything all sorted out yesterday. i'm still getting used to typing on this thing... the mouse thingy is a little weird still, but the first day i got it Amber and I were making pictures on paint. :) i really like the paint program for windows 7. now i still need to put office on here, but i can do that later, i guess.

I've been seeing a great guy named Jason (if you haven't already heard). He lives up in Logan, so we can really only hang out every week or so... I'm thinking it's about time i went up there... I just don't want to get lost. That could be bad. The awesome/amazing thing is.... (drum roll please)....... MY DAD ACTUALLY LIKES HIM!!! I think it's cuz he's kinda shy and an even bigger part cuz he's LDS. :P Go figure. lol...

Thor has decided to be a pill (like usual). Every time I go to pet him, he grabs my hand and tries to bite my wrist... VAMPIRE KITTEH! Also, he's been sleeping a lot lately... like, more than usual. But i guess it's more like when he was still a wild kitteh, and living outside. Silly cat.
