Weekend's End

Howdy Folks!!

Remember me?? You know that girl, who at one point in time lived to journal? Yup its me....tada!! What a slacker I am!! sheesh. Well how was your weekend?? Mine was pretty good. Was a pretty steady pace, was busy doing lots of different things.....I think. Well it feels like that anyway. Lets see.....

Friday I left work early. 1 or 2, I can't remember. I do remember that it was a ghosttown and there really was no reason for me to stay. Sarah was coming home but was not feeling well....So she stayed at her place and come home Saturday morning instead. When I got home on Friday I remember taking a long nap. I had scheduled myself on the phones early in the evening and I knew I was going to be up late, so I took advantage of some napping time. When I got up I was keeping busy online, taking calls and playing with my new camera that I got. Its awesome!!

taking calls. Wow...Truly a reality slap for me.....

you see...We were taking calls for the Red Cross for donations for Katrina. I think that was one of the hardest phone calls I ever had to do. Not so much for the people donating, but for the people who were actually there wanting help, or for the people looking for loved ones when all I could do was give them another number to call. It was truly heartbreaking. I mean just imagine, you just lost everything, you get a number for help and all I can say is here is another number number to call.....GOTTA PEN??? Ugh...It was bad. I've only gotten a few of those type of calls....The majority was donations but still...It was enough. It is just unimaginable what those people are going through. So that was rough.

I didn't schedule myself hours this weekend cuz 1. I need a break and 2. Sarah and I had plans.

guess what she did this weekend.

she bought a car.

a 1999 ford contour, black, used obviously, great price, mint condition. The car only has like 51,000 miles on it. it was a trade in. We drove it around....A lot....All over....Highway, side streets, main roads, slow speed, high speed, the car is just great!! Its got leather interior, a moonroof, kicking stereo system, AC!!!!! I'm so jealous I can't even tell ya!!! LOL

cool thing is is I get to drive it cuz it lives with ME!!! heh (for about two weeks anyway, then she moves back) oh did I mention she's moving back......LOL...Yeah. End of the month. she's back. She got a job out here that has career potential in the financial field that she started so after doing the pros and cons and seeing what is better, moving back and getting a car was the best move. She'll just commute to school 3 days a week which really isn't bad. And now that she has her own vehicle she doesn't have to wait on me. And vise versa. So that works out in the long run.

I don't mind. The company will be nice again. I find that since she's been gone I never see my living room. Its like I'm stuck in this chair staring at this screen doing this....Tap tap tap tap tap....Over and over and over again. And beading. Always beading. And working. Always working. This is what I do when I get home. Walk the dog, make dinner, work, bead, surf.

speaking of beads...I made a KILLING this weekend!! Thanks to some very special people in my life that made some MAJOR orders. LOVE YOU!!!! Yeah I sold a lot.....wanna see!!

heh

so that was Saturday.....After the car deal, we came and napped, putz around, slept some more. Sunday went shopping. She bought herself more clothes and she bought me a pair of shoes and a couple of shirts. she's very good to me. The shoes are awesome. Timberlands. Ill have to take some pics...

today not much was done. We went out for lunch, did some last minute errands and she caught an early train home. she's back tomorrow to do some banking and then we go to the dealership to finalize the paperwork on the car and pick it up. I have pics of the car but its in the camera and its too late to mess with that right now. Ill have pics when we get the car. Trust me.....

I spent the rest of the day as usual....Working, beading, surfing.....And now I'm going to bed.

ciao for now!!!
