Postie That Was Supposed To Be Posted Yesterday

Okay, so blogger and my Internet connection was on the fritz yesterday night, so here is what happened Friday:

Zak, my mom, brother and bro's friend Steven and I all went boating! I had so much fun! We all went inner tubing. Zak was too big for the tube so he had to lay on his stomach- which caused him to fall off once. Heh...I'm sorry but it looked funny....

I got some pretty bad sun burn on the top of my legs. It doesn't burn anymore (except when you hit it, and don't even THINK about it at the 4th party) but now the front half of me is tan and the back half of me is kinda tan. Oh well I guess.

Dad says that I'm too fair skinned at that I can't go outside a lot because I might end up like him- he has to get these little patches of skin cancer of whatever burned off at least twice a year. I laughed at him though because this is the dude telling me to be more active and to get outside more. =p

I almost got to meet Zak's mom but MY mom said that I didn't have time because I needed to get home to baby sit my neighbors. I would have had time...SORRY ZAK'S MOM!!! I feel so guilty...

And yes people, i've been going out with Zak for about 2 months and I still haven't met his mom...

And no people, I'm not going to celebrate us being together every month of our relationship. I don't do that whole thing. To me, if you celebrated every month it's like saying: "OMFG WE MADE IT 3 MONTHS! LETS SEE IF WE COULD LAST UNTIL 4!!!" O.O Half a year or a year of togetherness is more than enough to celebrate.

And no zak, I don't expect you to remember the date you asked me out- you're a guy, I wouldn't expect that =p *cough* although it was 4/29 *cough*

=)

Anyways, baby sitting was fine until we went down into the basement. Ya see, they have this little inflatable bouncing thing there and when Gretta (5 years old) went to land on her butt Sophie's (3 years old) hand was there and she landed on it. So, Sophie (who I must say kinda wines a lot...no offense Sophe...) started to cry and roll around on the ground of the bouncy thing screaming for her dad. She wouldn't even let me touch her. And I didn't wanna go: "Daddy's gone" because I thought she might think: "Holy shit daddy's dead" so I suddenly blurted out "Um..uh...CANDY! Do you want some candy?!" and she sat right up and went "otay".

-_-

Then when I was putting them to bed Sophie's mattress cover slipped off and she hit her hip on the edge of the bed and started at the crying again. So I was all "um...oh jeez...sophie..um...BEAR, look at mr. bear here! ha ha ho ho he he...." and she stopped grabbed the bear stuck her thumb in her mouth and fell asleep.

again,

-_-

During dinner Gretta told me that Sophie didn't want me to baby sit- =( - but she did now. Fat chance, I think that girl has it in for me. At least Gretta loves me =)

Well that's Friday, yesterday was okay.

The funeral place smelled weird and it was a long line so we were there awhile. Tim (my aunt's dead brother) looked really weird, I mean he looked liked a poorly made doll. Turns out he was a Harly Davidson motorist person, so he was gonna be buried in a Harley coffin and in his Harley leather jacket. He was only 47 I think.

After the funeral we got ice cream, and then me and my dad went to shoot nine up at Windmill Lakes. My drives were awesome, but the rest of my game sucked after hole 3...I didn't even keep score after that. I was so angry I cried too....I haven't played that bad in awhile...

To cheer me up my dad took me to the Winking Lizard- on the way there I saw a rainbow!! I 'broke the law' and went in with now shoes. When we sat down my dad spotted a pretty waitress with a hot backside (he was looking at it, that's how I know...I'm not going AC/DC on you guys...) and he was like: "I'm looking forward to dinner." Then she walked away and two minutes later this fat ugly chick came up and waited our table. XD

The look on his face was classic! When she left to get our food, I turned to him and went: "Well jeez don't look so disappointed" and he blew his straw wrapper at me. =p

Got home and JJ tried to train me at Brawl...I suck lol, but I almost beat him ONCE. I believe I was Pit that time. Went upstairs and tried to upload the vids but of course my connection was crappy so I talked to Ryan and Peaches instead and then went to bed.

Work is okay today. Kris went home sick, he looked awful. It's raining really hard now.

I Have A Question...

Some people say that when vampires drink other vampire's blood it's kinda like vampire sex. So, if a vampire drinks their own blood, isn't that like vampire materbation??


Yes, very random scary question. You like? >=)


My first anime con was GREAT! I had so much fun! I've got pics too! Eeeeeeep!

So, we all gathered at Rayy's house and then headed out to Beachwood Hilton Hotel. We bought passes and walked outside where they were having a Death Note photo shoot and stuff then walked around the hotel. That's where I met this guy:





The Free Hugs Pirate Dude.




He was the first guy that I gave a free hug too. Through out the day we all saw him and I gave him 3 hugs and then the 4th time I saw him he wrote on his sign 'Ladies may also request a free kiss' so I gave him a small peck on the cheek.



Then we went to find Ed, Britt and Kelsy in the Dealer Room; which is where they sell a whole bunch of stuff. When we got in there I wanted to buy a stuffed Gara toy and while waiting in line there was this gay guy dressed up in nothing but fuzzy bottoms, fuzzy arm warmers, and fuzzy bunny ear type things. So I took a pic of him with Britt standing next to him since Britt reads a lot of Yoai.





Furry Gay Dude and Britt.





My Garra plushie.


We walked around some more and then we went to Ed's hotel for a bit. Have a vid of that so I'll try and get it up later.
After that we all made free hugs signs and stalked the halls getting free hugs! I got about 150 some hugs by the end of the night! Yayz! Also, this guy dressed up as Dark hugged me and took my pic! Then, we walked around even more and I decided to take a pic of this really cool scary looking guy!



That's him. Scary huh?


Then it was time for lunch. It was a long walk to get to the nearest food place and when we were just starting to walk it started to down poor. These girls saw us and Rayy joked and asked if we could have a ride but they gave us one anyways! We all stuffed into their little car and got Mc Donalds and ate back at the hotel.


The one on the left is Miranda and the one on the right is Sarah.

Went to a thing called Glomping 201. I took a video of them doing the Yoai glomp. I'll try and get that up soon. During the class they were teaching the Fangirl glomp. But, if you wanted to go up and do it, you needed to have the right squeal. When he told these people to squeal he couldn't find any he liked. So he had the whole room sqeual again and the guy in the green shirt who did the yoai glomp (you'll see when I post up the vid) turned to Rayy and I and said 'you two, get up there you're awesome!' So we both went up and Fangirl glomped Kyo. =)

That was pretty much it for the night. Here are some more pics:


Andy wearing Ed's blue wig and bow. Turns out he was supposed to be going airsofting with some dudes, but I think he had more fun with us than he would have doing that. I mean, I actually heard him SING he was having such a great time!! (the pokemon theme song) I swear I didn't see him not smile once the day started going! He also joined in the Super Smash Bro's Brawl tournament! =)



(From left to right) Death Note looking person, Man Peach, and the free hugs no wait it's a trap guy.





Dudes in chicks skirts. (AKA: DICS) XXD







Meh in my outfit.





AND FINALLY



The Gang!

I'll be back to post about more stuff later. I have a funeral to go to...ugh...blah...

Friends!

OMG FINALLY I CAN SEE YOU PEOPLE!!! I'm starting to hate my summer now, it seems like my dad has gotten it focused on work and golf. Next year I'm only gonna work for him for two days.

Anyways, Friday my Uncle invited JJ, his friend, my mom, and me to go boating with him. I asked if I could bring Zak along too and he said yes! Tomorrow is gonna be busy because right after boating i need to race home and get dressed and then go over to the neighbors to baby sit around 5:00.

Good thing Gretta and Sophie are angels. I won't have to do much.

Work was okay I guess, everyone was tired.

My mommy said I could go sleep outside tonight on the porch! Yay's! It's gonna be so cool!

Saturday is Anime Con and I"m sleeping over Rayys!! I can't wait! I'm gonna dress as a French Maid and go as Toa (sp?) from D.N.Angel. Will you guys try to dress up so I don't feel alone in our group?? lol. Nah you don't have to, I really just wanna see what you'd look like as anime people =p

Well I'm actually more tired than I thought. Good night.

Boxes...

So last night my dad set me off big time. I was going upstairs, getting all ready for bed, and it seemed like my good mood was coming back. Well, he turns to me and goes:

Dad: "Hey Ashley do you tape boxes back in the ware house?"
Me: "Yep."
Dad: "Well Greg told me that one of our suppliers got a box and it was completely smashed up and they said it wasn't taped right, so Greg is going to go out back and tell John to teach you how to tape again."

WHAT THE FUCK?!

Make me feel like a total idiot because I can't tape a frigging box up, and make John look like and idiot to?? And I DO tape the boxes up right, and i bet it's UPS fault. I listed other reasons in a screaming fight with my dad and this morning I yelled at him again to talk to Greg. In the end he did and he was like: "Oh, okay so you weren't involved." and I said: "Good, I told you it wasn't my fault." and he said that nobody was pointing fingers at me and I told him: "Well greg must have if he was going to tell john to teach me how to tape a box up." He yelled at me, and left the office for the day. Good for him, one less person to deal with.

I asked John if I could sort parts out in the ware house and he said he could. When Larry got in he asked me what was on my mind, said I looked really sad. I told him I was just tired, which was part of it, but I dunno, mood is still meh.

When I got home I spend most of the time outside typing up more of story and then I watched a movie with JJ until he spilled pop all over my cell phone. I yelled at him and called him a stupid ass and then charged upstairs to clean it and then once again retreated into my room. I felt guilty though, so when he was going to bed I said sorry.

I wanna sleep outside, it looks nice and it would seem cool. With it raining out the noise would put me right to sleep.

*sigh*

Is it Saturday yet? I need you guys...

Okay Day

It was an okay day I guess. The weather was nice.

I woke up, played a game of Mario Party 8, went online, then went to golf. I was all excited because I felt like I was going to play a good game. Fuck that feeling I think I sucked. I shot a 52. My mom and dad were all like: "Well it's only 4 strokes more than Saturday nah nah." and that's my point! I sucked from Saturday! And Saturday, I played on a Pro course, KENT STATE'S course, and I do better on that then that piece of shit Shawniee Hills?? Stupid.

I came home and just kinda laid in my bed with the blanket over my head for awhile before spending the next 4-5 hours online and stuff. I went outside on the deck and typed up more of chappie 4 but of course it's not finished yet. I've got fucking writers block now.

The humming bird flew around one of the flowers again today and after that I went inside and now I'm here. I need to clean my room before tomorrow because stupid Jackie (cleaning lady) is coming. *sigh* I guess I'll take a shower tomorrow morning before work. Which means I need to get up a half hour earlier. *double sigh*

Oh, and speaking of work, guess what.

Ya know how I said I love to work in the ware house (even though the stupid people mixed up the parts) and that I actually feel wanted more in there than the office and I love to hang out with John and Larry?? Well, SOMEBODY told John that if I have nothing to do in the ware house that I HAVE to go back and be in the offices up front. So, I just sit around feeling all guilty that I have nothing to do while the other guys are working and waiting for Kris to get annoyed and go: "Is there anything you need to do in the ware house?" Which is like, the most stupidest question in the world. Of course I don't have anything to do in the ware house, that's why I'm sitting my ass up here doing nothing!

I mean, if I had nothing to do in the ware house, or the offices up front and least talking to John and Larry in the back was somewhat productive. Not staring at the fax machine hoping it would spit out something to give to Kris or Greg, or waiting for the phone to ring so I was occupied for a few seconds.

Monday I decided to clean out the supply closet during my 'nothing time'. I took everything out and even WASHED IT OUT. But, in the end there was still nothing for me to do, because I'm saving putting everything back in for tomorrow. Don't know what the fuck I'll do Thursday though.

I don't wanna go up to my dad and be all: "Naaaaaaah do i really have to work thursdaaaaaaaay?? I really have nothing to dooooooo aaaaaaall the tiiiiiiime." Cuz

1. he'll yell at me
2. he'll yell at the people in the offices because they're not keeping me occupied
3. if you look at it i am getting paid to do nothing most of the time and my hourly payment is pretty high

Monday Larry came up front and he said that he needed me. When we were in the back of the ware house I noticed that there was nothing to ship and I looked at him and he laughed. "I thought you might want to come back here and talk because I noticed you were doing the hardest thing at a job." and i was like thinking "i wasn't doing anything..." and that must have showed on my face because he was like: "Trying to find something to do."

That was really nice of him for saving me like that.

I like Larry and John. They don't expect a lot from me, so there isn't any pressure when I'm working back there. They also made it clear that no question is a stupid question and that some of the mistakes I might make they've probably made when they first started working here.

During lunch John and I do the crossword puzzle in the Plain Dealer even though I'm not very good at them.

OH! One of the things was: A type of Japanese cartoon. And he didn't know it, and I was like: ANIME! O.O

Kris and Greg are nice people, but I dunno I just kinda get this feeling that I annoy them when I'm there. Monday Kris was like: "Take your time Ashley, let's get it right the first time."

Well,

-That totally spazzed me out because I was freaked that I really messed something up.
-Made my self confidence level shrink down even lower
-Made me feel stupid
-and made me feel pissed

I mean, HE didn't teach me some of the little scanning rule things until LAST THURSDAY, so EXCUSE ME if I DIDN'T KNOW. All they just told me was, what you scan, and what you name it and where you save it and where you know how to save it. They didn't tell me if it said this on it I scan it and then attach it to this scan and make a duplicate of this other scan, and name it this, but not to name it until they're all scanned and blah blah blah.

Yes, very confusing I know. Scanning's a bitch.

I think Kris and Greg got annoyed because I wasn't talking very loud yesterday either. They were always like: "What?" "Huh?" "Can you repeat that??" Until finally I just gave up and went right up to their desk instead of yelling across the room like that do. Although they're really only a fair few feet away...

*sigh* hopefully I'll have a better day tomorrow...

as you can see my mood still really hasn't improved...sorry guys...it's not you it's just stupid me. And I'd tell you what's wrong but I don't know what is. It's like my body jut went: "Okay! Let's feel all angry and depressed! Yeah!"

Maybe this weekend will cheer me up...

Oh yeah...party info on the side...

Little Ocean Breeze

As you can hear I finally got ocean wave sounds to play in my background. Yayz I guess.

Haven't exactly been in the greatest of moods lately. Been very out of it today too.

Didn't get much sleep last night. Kept waking up until around 5 i decided to just get up. I'm really tired. I hope I get enough sleep for golf tomorrow.

Larry noticed my mood today. He asked what was wrong, and I said nothing why, and he said I kept staring all sadly into space a lot. I guess I was.

My confidence level seems to have dropped down to a little line. I've noticed I'm not really eating much either. Like, I had a small bowl of soup for breakfast (shut up we ran outta milk so I couldn't have my fruit loops) and a large fry and that's it. My mom was all up to getting me something from Wendys, which I'm usually begging her to get me fast food (and I love Wendys), but I just didn't care and I wasn't hungry.

*sigh*

I had 2 cheesy sticks left over from pizza hut Friday.

Wrote more of my story, now all i gotta do is type it. I'll try and get to that later on tonight or something....

oh, I guess one good thing happened today. Ya know that snickers song from the commercial?? This one? I downloaded it from limewire and put it to my Ipod. =)

There's a smile!

Ummmm weird question, anyone know any dark, gothic, emo, rap, scream-o, techno, club music??

Yeah.

I need it for another book i'm planning to write. I'd like the music to be in an Asian language, and it to match what you would dance to at a dirty vampire night club. And also there doesn't have to be lyrics. I looked up on AOL radio and i've heard some songs from the genre Trance that I like. Maybe look there for ideas?

Thanks for the help.

What happened today?

It rained, rained, rained, rained, poured, and then in rained some more.

I work up this morning to the phone ringing. I looked at the caller ID and didn't know the number, so me being me, I decided I would listen in on the conversation a bit when someone else in the house picked it up.

Turning out the number was my aunt's cell phone, and turns out yesterday afternoon her brother died in a motorcycle accident because some asshole made an illegal move at a red light and pulled right in front of him. My aunt was so upset she could barley talk.

What a great way to start the day right?

Well, I thought, well it's going to be sunny today so I'll go outside and read. I read about ten minutes, saw a humming bird, then got attacked but a bunch of fucking bees so I was trapped inside.

Then in rained and rained and rained.

I was switching channels when suddenly on USA I saw it! Hot muscular guys in speedo's in a diving competition. My mom and I were rating them.

Zak calm down I still love you. =) <3

That was pretty much it after that. I talked to Zak online, watched youtube vids, took a shower, had a 3 second conversation with andy, talked to zak some more, and now i'm here.

Tomorrow I have work. My aunt will be on vacation, but next week she say's she'll have to be off too because of her brother and all. Which means more chaos at the office, and that we're gonna bring someone in from Chicago to replace her while she's gone.

This also means I have another funeral in my life to look forward too.

Now, I know that death is part of life, but I'm tired of it. I've been to almost 50 funerals in my 14 years of living, 50!! I'm sick and tired of them! The sadness, the sick smell of flowers and perfume, the floral patterns on the walls, the mumbled sympathetic apologies, the bodies just lying there with there arms folded and eyes closed looking like fucking wax dummies.

*sigh*

I want to think 'maybe I won't have to go' but I'm going to have to out or respect for my aunt and her family....

Busy week this week...no time to see Zak at all =(

I guess I'll be going to bed and stuff...

Happy Anniversary

I just got back from Ashton Varga's sister's Batmitsva. I didn't even wanna go in the 1st place since I don't really like Ashton anymore. The food was bad, and the music wasn't good either. Plus I didn't know anybody there....XP

So I called Zak and talked to him instead =)

Better Mood

Better mood. Zak came over today! We hung out in the backyard until it got too hot and then hung around in the basement and watched Pirates 1. Order a bunch of pizza from Pizza Hut then kinda walked around the house. After awhile my mom wanted to get my grandma some fries from the Fair at St. Barnyard and also get a new sling thing from CVS from her arm. While she went to CVS Zak and I walked to the Fair. We saw Sami! =D

Bought 2 lrg. fries and 2 candy apples then headed to grammys! I know my grammy liked Zak. We took Big Al (her dog) out into the woods and I showed Zak the horses. We then put Al back in the house and laid in the grass in my grandma's side yard.

Yellow Light

So on the traffic light of life it's on yellow right now. This day couldn't get over with fast enough, I'm only on my lunch break right now.

Nothing too exciting has happened today. John ardently shipped off 2 boxes of the wrong part to Danco I believe it was, so that's caused a few minor complications here, but none for me though. The only thing that effected me was that, I think it was Findly, shipped us two boxes and they had mixed parts so I need to go through 30+ boxes and check to see if they have any mixed parts. Stupid Findly, in my opinion they're the most annoying of the customers.

Mostly filed today, I went through all those boxes yesterday but guess whaaaaat, I need to go through them again, but instead of just taking a handful out I need to dump the whole box on a cart and shift through just in case. Then like yesterday I need to put the parts back, tape up the boxes, mark on them if they're okay, move them on the skid (a wooden base like thing), and then strain my back even more. The boxes are like 30 pounds+ each. Meh.

Dad's old friend Mr. Dolphin (i don't know his 1st name) is here and having lunch with him and stuff.

We're having our big party this year, might as well give you the date: COSTELLO JULY 4TH PARTY IS ON JULY 4TH! PLEASE BE THERE! Fireworks show sounds good this year.

That seems like it's it for now. 3 minutes until lunch is over, then I need to look through all those boxes again...*sigh* is it Friday yet?

1. laptop keeps fucking freezing on me
2. writers block
3. Devvy chan is away =( (but that's okay devvy lol)
4. My back is killing me from work today
5. I still need to take a shower
6. it's the longest day of the year today so it's gonna last longer
7. It's not Friday yet

Alright alright fuck...let's think about positives....

1. Had Wendy's for lunch
2. had really good steak that mom made for dinner
3. i got to talk to Zak today
4. um...

yeah...that's all I can think of.

Yesterday Rayy, Zak, Sami, Elli, Ed, Jason, and me all went and saw Zohan. Only had a bit of after credits after. Zak wanted to do it during the movie but I dunno call me old fashion but I don't like to do that stuff unless we're alone. I mean, also, if Jackie and Ryan were making out I'd tell them to get a room, we don't need to have you swapping spit while we're trying to eat popcorn ya know? He's coming over for like 10 hours Friday though so yayz.

It was cold today, I had to wear a jacket in the warehouse for the morning.

Vampire Knights episode 11 was good. Getting another idea for a book, but it hasn't totally bloomed yet. Cuz it kinda ya know, needs a plot. I'm getting my ass in gear for Search and Destroy don't worry. I really wanna type the ending.

*sigh* that's all for now I guess.

um...anybody wanna give me a free hug? I need one today.

Lot's-O-Tings

Work today was great! We shipped 97 boxes today and at the end of all of it John went into my dad's office and shut the door to talk to him. I heard my name and though "shit i did something wrong" and then he left and my dad told me in the car that John wanted to tell him personally that I worked hard and did extremely well today and how he was so amazed about me! I'm really proud of that.

A few day's ago I was watching that show Dirty Jobs and OMFG have you ever heard of a Goeduck?? XD it's a clam! (I think it looks like a penis XXXDDDD)!!!

Uuuuuum lets see....

Fun In The Sun

Had a golf lesson at three with Ross then went golfing with my dad at the couse called Windmill Lakes I think. It was really nice, Kent State's course I heard. I shot a 51, and played a great game. Since we were in West Branch we went from the course to my dad's buddy Gary's boat. I went inner tubing and I must admit...my ass hurts. They flung me around so much on that water- one time I was almost 2 feet in the air! And I didn't fall off at all! =D

Talking to Zak right now, after that I'm going to try and fit in the last few episodes of Vampire Knight. I hope they make more soon.

Wow shortest postie ever!!! Sorry, I'm really tired.

ily.

Relaxing Day

Today I mostly relaxed and helped my mom out with stuff. I forgot to mention it in my other blog posties- at least I don't remember mentioning it- that something has been wrong with my mom's right arm. It started happening Sunday. At first she though she slept on it but as the day wore on we didn't think it was that. Ya see she can't do anything with her hand and arm up to her elbow. Can't grab anything, can really open and close the fingers. She went to the doc's and they said she might have pinched a nerve but other than that they don't really know. It's kind of scaring me, I mean my mom had a stroke and all- could this be an after effect even though she had it when she was 33? It could be from the IV's they put in her arm to when she goes to the ER for her migraines too I guess. We were discussing that reason in the car this evening.

Anyways, more about my day.

I got my grades. When I looked online I hated them but turns out they weren't my final grades! I got all A's and B's except my math grade which was a C (mind you I got it up from an F)! I'm so happy and relieved.

After that I watched CSI and then talked to people online. Zak and I played on runescape then I went upstairs and read The Host (Erin I will finish it eventually- I just read three chapters when I went to bed) and then accidentally fell asleep. Woke up before the pizza guy came though!

Watched more CSI, talked to Zak, then left to watch the storm roll in with my mom on the porch. It was pretty cool.

We went to go to Petities to try and get more flowers but they closed so we went to Wal-Mart instead. I bought a few more shirts, got a new swimmy suit (just a plain black one though, I didn't feel very swimmy suit enthusiastic tonight) and some sexy underwear (and yes I just said that) (and also yes I guess I shouldn't put this up here but that IS what I bought =p).

Mom was hungry so she took me to Wendys and then we sat in the parking lot of Farnachies (spelling?) waiting for the pizza to get made. While we were talking she turned to me and said: "Ashley...I don't mean to sound corny but I really like spending time with you." I really like spending time with her too. I love just sitting in the garage, or in the bedroom (don't even go there) or on the deck and just sit and talk with her. Its really, well, nice.

Got home around 10. I was gonna go back online but for some stupid, unknown reason when I moved the mouse my computer decided to hibernate. I wait but it stayed on the same damn screen- my background but without the icons. I got tired of waiting so went out and watched a few minutes of Nancy Grace with my mom and then went upstairs to bed. Well, not really bed. I listened to Melvin, read more chappie of The Host, tried to sleep, couldn't, listened to Melvin some more, made a note to download bands with the beginning letters of X and Z so I have the whole alphabet of bands on Melvin, made another note to google something, read some more, and now I'm here.

I snuck downstairs to my laptop because for some reason it will connect to the internet but it won't let me get on it. The signal strength is 'Very Good' as it says, it's the same connection I use too. Maybe it's because I connected it down here with the wire. I restarted but it didn't work. I'll try again later I guess.

It's around 1:40 at night now. I have a golf lesson at 3:00 tomorrow with Ross, and then after that Dad and I were gonna shoot 9 if the weather isn't bad.

I think I'm gonna try to add some ocean music to my blog. I really like my summer theme and I've proud of the picture I put up there.

Oh also:

1. Rayy I need some more info about con- remind me to ask you later and I can go by the way.
2. Zak you can't come over Thursday but how about Friday?
3. My schedule for the summer is:
Monday- Work
Tuesday- Golf League and 1:30
Wednesday- Work
Thursday- Usually work now since every week somebody is off
Friday- Free
Saturday- Free
Sunday- Free

I want go outside and sit on the deck...I'll check if the alarm is on.

Was on my feet most of the time at work.

Got home and had what was left of Mr. Chicken and then watched some CSI.

Peachy: =O AWWW
Alphie: oh now she's okay *phew*
Peachy: i hate splinters
Alphie: so does she, she's scolding it XXXDDD

Ashley Olympics

There were so many events that happened today I'm calling it the Ashley Olympics. Now, lets lest all of what happened.

Field: Work

Event 1
Strength

So today in the ware house it was only John and myself because Larry's wife was in surgery and he needed to watch the kids. The two of us alone had to get out this big shipment of 30 boxes of items. But what's 30 boxes right? Heh heh...well, each box weighed about 40-50 pounds, and we needed to put one on the scale, take it off, put the other on on the scale, take that off then after that we need to carry each one over to one of the flats then when UPS come's we need to hand each one to them....

Luckily everything else was 10 pound after that.

Event 2
Knowledge- SAY THAT LINE

Larry wasn't the only one gone today, Greg in the offices was gone too because his son was graduating from Elementary school- but I didn't bring up the issue of how that really is kinda stupid. So anyways, that left me to have to help DB and Kris (did I mention that Kris is a guy?) answer the phones.

I was kinda nervous because I was afraid I would mess up and lose my dad a customer... Now, when you answer the phone you need to say the company name and who you are and the- of course- 'how may I help you?'

So I sat at my desk and kept repeating to myself "S.W. Anderson, this is Ashley speaking, how may I help you?"

Kris and DB made fun of me a little which I must say, it was pretty funny.

Then I got my call and it all went smoothly from there.

Event 3
Speed

At the end of the day (around 4:25) we get our 'last minute callers'- and i mean a whole shit load of em. So we need to pick up the phones, dial the extension, not let them be on hold for too long, take another call, dial extension, hold, etc over and over again.

In the end we did pretty good, only one person was like "I've been on hold for a long time nah nah nah" when there were only on hold for one minute while others who were patent were on for a top of two....

Field: Road

Event 4
Cooking

Had to race from work to Subway, to Mr. Chicken, to my house, to Get Go, then to grammys all in 20 minutes. We made it there in 19 ha ha.

Event 5
Driving

MOM LET ME DRIVE THE CAR DOWN MY GRAMMY'S STREET WHEN WE WERE HEADING BACK FROM PETITES GARDEN CENTER! O.O

Oh yeah and when I was there I saw Alabert from PE class! (Allison's her real name).

And finally...

Field: Home

Event 6
Fire

We were at my grammy's house when my dad called (who is in NY remember) and was all: Hurry up and get to the house, Barco called and said it was on fire.

So my mom speeds home a 70 mph (i'm surprised she didn't get pulled over...) and we get to the house. There was a fire truck, 3 police cars, and an ambulance. Turns out it was a false alarm though so that was good.

Now I better get my ass in gear so I can play runescape with Zak =p

Oh yeah and I gotta work tomorrow too- another big shipment and it's still only John in the ware house!

Drowning

So I had golf today at 1:30. I was supposed to be golfing with these two girls but they were on a different league, so I'm on another one with all guys apparently. I got in a four-some (group of four...) with these guys named:

Kevin: age 12
Paul: age 14
Angel: age 14

Yeah, Angel is a guy, he's pretty cool though. Now, Paul and Kevin I learned were brothers. Paul is Zak's size and hits really far like his brother, which is sad cuz he's 12 and can hit farther than me...

Angel was a pretty good golfer, he played more with my level of skills. We talked a lot too, he's a pretty nice guy. Anyways, so we get to the second hole, and there are two more groups waiting to go since that hole is ALWAYS backed up. A lot of the guys were like: "So, are you any good?" and I'm like "What?" and they're all like: "Are you a good golfer?" Humph. That's why I really get annoyed golfing with all guys, but I got them back ya see. Now, there a three different places where you can tee up the ball (where you do your first hit on the hole).

Orange- ladies tee's ('mine')
White- teen guy's tee's
Black- Adult guy's tee's

Now, my tee's were up further than the white ones, so instead of pulling my golf bag all the way up there, I set my ball up in the guy's tee's. They all were like: "Naaah what are you doooing?" "Don't you know you have to go all the way up there??" "Why are you hitting theeeeere??"

Ignored them, set up, then swung at the ball and guess what- I hit the green. The one dude was like: "Oh...THAT'S why she doesn't use the girl tee's."

XD PWNED BITCHES!!

*ahem*

anyways, end of the second hole it starts to rain really hard, and I mean big cold rain. It stopped when we got to the beginning of the third, then started back up again. Angel saw me shaking so he gave me his other jacket and a towel to cover my clubs so they didn't get wet. After that, it rained the ENTIRE time we were golfing. It was so wet that on the seventh hole when we all went to swing we our clubs slipped from our hands and went flying! XD

I did pretty good, shot a 53. When my dad got home I think I really impressed him. Convo:

dad: so how was golf?
me: wet
dad: you'll have that. What did you shoot?
me: 53
dad: that's pretty good
me: yeah, considering I hit from the GUYS TEES =D
dad: you hit from the guys tee's??
me: oh yeah *tell's about the pwnage on hole 2*
dad: XD see I told you that ya shouldn't complain about golfing with guys. You intimidate them, plus they'll be to busy looking at you than paying attention to the game
me: *poses* yep that's me, a sexy beast! XD

So that was my day. Sorry Devvy and Rayy! I didn't know that golfing would last so long! =( It was probably cuz of the rain...

Work tomorrow again until 4:30. Dad's out of town though! He's going to NY for business thing. Might stay until Friday!

I'm Only Gonna Say One Thing...

After credits.

How was YOUR Sunday night??

=)

**TODAY**

First day of working for my dad!

Woke up at 6:30 and put on my new pants, new shirt, new socks, and new shoes my dad got me yesterday. Got ready, had a bowl of cereal today (first actual breakfast in like, who knows how long!) and then let the dog out. Dad came out about 7:00 and we talked, watched the weather, and then it was off to the office.

Now, three people work in the offices: Greg, Kris, and my aunt Db. Then in the ware house is: John and Larry. Then my dad is the boss of the apple sauce of the building. My aunt taught me how to scan things, and then double check reports, and then organize them into folders. Then Larry taught me how to file, and I learned how to make shipping labels and stuff in the ware house.

I like working back there the most, I really get along with John and Larry. Plus, I don't get to answer the phones which is something I'm not really that confident in myself in doing to points to me!

Since one of my dad's customers screwed up and order 3 times they sent us free pizza for lunch! It was yummy! After that it was back in the warehouse for the rest of the day. I got 2 calls today too! One from Gina (dad's customer that has been to our house before) and my dad's buddy Gary (who comes over almost every Friday night). They congratulated me and stuff like that.

For the rest of the day I watched TV and played runescape.

Oh and Devvy Chan when you said swimming I thought you meant around 12-2ish, not 4! I can go then if I ask my mommy! =D

That's pretty much it.

Stormed pretty badly for a few then it stopped. Got scarily dark though.

Me tired.

I have golf tomorrow from 1:30-till I dunno how long. My legs ache though, probably from standing all day....

OMFG

I JUST MADE $5213 SELLING COW HIDES!! FREAKING COW HIDES!!! HA HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! EASY MONEY BABY!!! WOOO HOOOOO!!!

=) heh heh...moo

Nice Out

It was pretty nice outside today, only about 88, and it didn't seem as humid as yesterday.

Spent most of the day playing runescape and stuff then Dad took JJ and Me to Penelope's (a restaurant run by a Greek woman named Penelope (athough you'd never get that idea)) and she made us her famous pizza. It wasn't like a regular pizza, there wasn't any red sauce, more like cheese and topping and spices. I liked it! JJ ever tried pizza too! That's like the only thing he doesn't like....lol.

After that I went and typed a little bit more of chappie 4 (like only a little paragraph...) and then Dad let JJ ride his bike up to Andy L. up by those developments. I was nervous about him going alone, but he is 11 I guess. Dad was all: "Quit worring, when I was in thrid grade I was riding my bike alone all over the place!"

1. When he was in third grade I bet there wern't a bunch of pyhco petifiles running around just waiting for a kid

2. What happened to when he said him and all his FRIENDS would ride around everywhere?

3. He told me he didn't get a bike until he was in 5th grade

Yeah.

Well anyways dad and I took our bikes and went on a 14 mile bike ride. We rode pretty fast, dad said the fastest we went was 27 mph! He has a little thing on his bike that tells you by the way. Also, he took me to this place which he calls the 'enchanted forest' which is like really awesome. The trees are really huge, and it's like something from Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter or something! When we were riding back (since we were riding by the canal) we saw this guy catch this hug fish! You could tell he was really proud of it.

I asked dad if tomorrow he would take me to get new sneakers since all of mine were STOLEN. Grrr...that still get's me mad.... I also need a few more suitable work clothes since I know you can't wear jeans to the office unless working in the wear house. He was like "Sure *angry sigh* you need to go shoot nine too...." Well, it's going to be HOW hot out tomorrow? Above 90 you said? Well fuck that! I'm not golfing in 90+ weather unless I have too. I suggested that I'll go to the range but he argued that "Naaaah it's not the saaaaame nah naaaaah" Yeah, I know that, but at least I'm making an effort to do SOMETHING.

JJ said there was a new Bum Reviews video on Kung Fu Panda, so I'm going to watch that after this. Then play some more runescape. I have over $11,000 now! =D After that going to write more for my book. Dad helped me with some great ideas on what happens in Oregon and some things that could happen to Doc, which aren't too good in her case. DUN DUN DUN.

Zak coming over tomorrow! Mom said he can come for dinner, I'll call an ask him ^-^

I got cinnamon tic tacs! Mmmmmm!

Par-tay!

Woke up at 7:30 this morning, since it was already and ungodly 88 degrees outside and waaaay humid, and went to the range with JJ. I guess I did good, need to work on my distance though, dad says Ross (my golf coach-like guy) will help me with that. My longest drive (golf term, DRVIE- ball hit with the big club =p) was about 175 (yards)....I want to get it to 200 (yards)or more...maybe I need to work out more? I think it's more controlling the golf swing though....

Anyways, called mom and when she picked us up from the range was was ranting about how she was home for about 3 minutes and we called, and how these roads were closed, and wasting gas and stuff. I told her at the house that she should wait in the parking lot because it'll be short but she was like "Nooooo I need to be home for when Jackie (cleaning lady) gets heeeeere"

.......

*sigh*

Cut the grass, then played runescape, IMed, and did other random things on the Internet. After about awhile I was tired of computer so I went downstairs and watched The Incredibles.

SAMI'S PART-TAY WAS AWESOME!!!

We all swam in the pool, ate pizza, swam some more, and then threw stuff in the fire to make it go WHOOSH really high! =)

I think everyone liked my hair too. When we dropped Ryan off his mom was waiting in the grauge, and she noticed and said she liked it. =) Thanks again Ryan's Mom!

Oh yeah I almost forgot! When Ryan tipped the floatie over I went flying into Rayy and kicked her left boob, and I promised to put this in here: Sorry Rayy's left boob! =p

Devvy chan didn't bring a swimmy suit because it was that time of the month, and she though she couldn't go swimming. After soaking her in her clothes she just gave up and then jumped in with us, so that was fun.

When I got home mom told me that she had a fun outfit for me that she bought at wal mart and I was like "ooooooh!" She got me this cute top with happy bunny and a whole bunch of stuff on it, and these shorts with a Sesame Street character on them! I love them sooo much. Methinks I'll wear it when Zak comes over Sunday. =)

Speaking of Zak, I hope he likes THE SURPRISE. I don't think he'll mind, it's already happened and you can't change it.

Tired now, methink's I'm going to go straight to bed, I listened to my Ipod a few time's today anyways while on the computer.

Soup Salad And Bread Sticks

Got up around 10:45 and took a shower then spent the rest of the day on AIM and Runescape. Got to level 7 in prayer points which I think is pretty high in a day's work.

Grammy and Uncle Scott picked us up and we all went to Olive Garden. The lady seating us asked what high school I was graduation from and I looked at her and was like "graduating? I just got finished with my first year!" So that was pretty cool. It was funny also because people though my mom and uncle were hubby and wife and that we were their children! xD

I order Calamari and spaghetti and then enjoyed the endless break sticks. Let me tell you, they were good. After that we all went home and played games and just happened to turn on this National Spelling Bee thing on TV. Now get this, these kids are 12-13 years old, in Washington D.C, and my 51 year old straight A student mother and even 73 year old grammy never even heard the words they had to spell! We all were like "Wha- _______?? What's that word???"

It was wild lol.

I might plan on going golfing in the morning with my brother at the Par 3 at Shawnee Hills, although I really don't feel like going. Like I said, my enthusiasm about golf has really been low. JJ doesn't even want to go, and with the heat I know he'll complain. I don't want to go alone though or golf with random people, I'm tired of that. I kinda wanna practice my iron's though....ugh...I need to find some friends that are girls and can golf. I mean there's Ashley O, but I don't talk to her much. Maybe I'll set up a day with her after I get more practice in. Hell, I can just go to the range too. Maybe I'll do that...

*sigh*

OMG Monday I'll be starting at my dad's office! EEEEEEEEP. I've noticed since the summer has started if I have something to do that day I always get really nervous about it, like anxiety with a twist of worry and that I think I forgot something feeling. It's getting annoying. It's bad too since I can't concentrate with that feeling. I hope I'm not a total idiot at this. Then again I really only need to scan and organize things, maybe work in the warehouse, answer the phone.

Phone.

That's the only thing I'm really worried about. What if I don't know what the person wants and I make a fool out of myself and company?? I've kept on saying: "S.W. Anderson this is Ashley speaking, how may I help you?" more and more times a day. Meh.

SAMI'S PARTY TOMORROW!!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!! THE SURPRISE!!! EEEEEEEEEEP!!! (If you think you know what it is can you just act surprised anyways? lol).

Well, gonna read a little and maybe tidy up my room. Cleaning lady coming tomorrow at 9:30, but she doesn't clean my room till 11. Still, gonna be Hot HOt HOT tomorrow....in the 90's ugh....

Yeah, i think I'll just hit the range tomorrow.

Day 1

Day 1 of the first day of summer vacation is basically over! It's been a pretty good day too.

Today I went with my mom to get her nails done, and I convinced her to get them painted with his cool blue color! It's pretty wild for a mom, especally one that's 50, but I think it suits her if I do say so myself. But there are also flowers painted on them to make up for it. They look pretty darn cool.

After that we ate at Mom's Diner (not my moms, that's just what it's called) and it was kick ass inside. They had the classis bar, booths, colors, lights, food, floor, walls, atmospher, everything. I love diners, that kinda old time feeling, where everyone seems friendly. It's nice.

After that I went and got...THE SURPRISE. Yes, THE SURPRISE. I can't wait to show you it!!! Anyone who is coming to Sami's end of the year party will!! I'm hoping it'll knock some of your socks off.

>=)

heh heh...evil smiley....

After getting THE SURPRISE we headed home and I hung around the house. Took the dog for a walk with my dad, and when we got home I had him listen to Dragon Force. He said he liked it, so that's pretty cool.

Mom's not really talking to me because my dad yelled at her for trying to make me wear a sundress for when I go to the office and I supported him. She just doesn't get that people don't wear sundresses in the business world anymore. Hell, people barely wear suits! Besides, my dad is the boss of the building there, I thin, he would know what I should and shouldn't wear....

*sigh* oh well.

Tomorrow mom said that Grammy, uncle Scott, jj, her, and I are all going to Olive Garden to celebrate the end of the year. This will be the first time I've ever eaten there before! When we dropped something off at my uncle's house today he gave me $10 since I was going to 10th grade. We joked about how when I graduate I get $12 cuz that's like, not even enough to buy a quarter tank of gas anymore these days.

Did you hear gas prices might be up to $7-$8 a gallon by the end of the summer?? O.O

Ugh....I shutter to think.

Well that's pretty much it for today!

Ooooooh I can't wait to show you all THE SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!

=)

Wow

That's all I can say is wow. The end of this year seems really overwhelming to me. I guess it's because I have a bit of 'growing up' to do. I mean, I'll be joining a sports team soon, later on in the next two weeks I'll have a job; those are pretty big things for me. My summer isn't going to be relaxed anymore that's for sure.

History and Keyboarding exam today. Last night I had a dream I was in Mr. Cash's class and he pointed at me and went "YOU, do 50 push ups!" and I got up to the front of the class saying "How about 100?" Cash goes "Sure...if ya can." I stand up there looking at him for about a minute, and he gets annoyed and goes "Well what are you waiting for?" and I stare at him in the face and go "I'm waiting for you to tell me which hand you'd like behind my back." Oooooh yeeeah if that could happen.

I played tetris and pong during my keyboarding exam and also listened to my Ipod since I had finished my project for it awhile ago. I'm very proud of it.

Ever heard of the band called Papa Roach?

Check out these songs I like by them:

Getting Away With Murder & Forever

I'm still looking for more songs by them, they seem like a good band. Turns out Zak has a few songs by them on his celly!

Rainy today for our last day of school. Sophomores now!! Can't believe that either.

Had to go to the doc's to get my physical form filled out. Turns out I had to get a shot too! =(

Even worse, I need to get a tetanus shot, this other shot, and my mom wants me to get that HPV shot, which is 3 shot you need....three letters...three shots...bleh. I was telling my Uncles Girlfriends daughter, and she got the three HPV shots, and she said they really hurt, and to try rubbing your arm after them, and the pain will go away quicker.

Great.

Devvy chan gets a regular check up tomorrow, good luck!

Went to the calling hours with Devlyn for Ryan's dad. A great man, not only for raising Ryan, but for how strong he was too. It's just, I only can really half believe that he's passed, it just seems like a nightmare, or a sick joke. If you looked at Ryan hard, and I mean really hard because he is a really good actor, you can really see how sad he is. It seemed half weird to me that we were making small talk, but I was making Ryan laugh, or at least it seemed so I kept it up. A few chuckles can help the heart I've heard.

Calling hours was at the funeral home near my house (i can't spell it...). I haven't been there in a while, but I know the place like the back of my hand. 8 family members on my mother's side died in a time span of about 3 months, so it was almost like I lived there for a time. Not to mention other's like my cousin Frank.

After the calling hours my mom had to shop, so I had to go to Giant Eagle with here. Since we were wearing the same little black dresses people were like: "Oh you guys look so cute together!" ^-^

Brian Gerber was there, so we left our parents and walked around the store and talked. It was nice. Now I'm up here in my room. Pretty tired, which is odd because right now it's only 10:22. I guess it's cuz of the rain and everything going on today. I guess I'm gonna hit the sack.

OH YEAH!!! SURPRISE FOR ALL OF YOU TOMORROW!! YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT IT IS!!!! EEEEEEEEEEP I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! =o

=)

nighty night.

Busy Day

Busy day today!

Woke up, cleaned my room, ate breakfast, then it was off to the Rec with Rayy and her sister Cassidy. We swam around a bit then went to go into the whirlpool thing. This one crazy lifeguard lady was like: "HALT! WHEN ARE YOUR BIRTHDAYS?!" Rayy is 15, but Cassidy is 13 and I'm 14, so we weren't allowed to go in cept Rayy. So, for today my birthday was MAY 12 and Cassidy was 15. It was so waaaaarm and niiiice in there. We all really gotta plan a spa day!

RAYY! ADD THAT TO THE LIST!

After swimming took a shower and went over to Zak's place. I like it, nice and cozy =)

His friend Luke was there, and I met Emily and Matty (spelling? sorrys matty!) His mom wasn't there though. But, Zak's dad said she does scrap booking so he needed to take some pics of me and Zak. 1st one was on the couch, then he asked Zak and me to stand up...he laughed...blah... I'm used to it though, I make fun of myself for my size compared to Zak's actually. Last picture was me standing on a chair next to Zak- I was only like maybe and INCH taller than he was. Pssh.

After Zak's went home for dinner. Had steak! mmmm, A1 sauce! Corn on the cob too, finally!

One argument between parents later, dad took me to hit a few balls at the range. We went and got ice cream from Mr. T's and they had chocolate chip cookie cones! I got one, but to my disappointment, they didn't taste very good.... *sigh* oh well.

I'm going to have my dad listen to Through The Fire And The Flames by Dragon Force and see if he likes it.

Also, I would like to just say this, not just because I need to, but as a friend too. We have all lost someone close to our hearts from a grandmother to a father or to an aunt or uncle. It might truly seem like it's the end of the world, but the show must go on. Everyone will leave this earth at some point in time, weather we like it or not sadly. But when you do lose someone, you need to keep going, and stay strong. It's okay to lean on someones shoulder, but never completely give up or do something drastic. That's all I'd really like to say. I don't mean to seem like I'm giving a lecture, or that I'm being mean or whatever else I could be, I just want everyone to know that. Or if you do, to hear it again, I need too every once in a while.

I love all you guys, even if for some reason I don't show it.

See everyone tomorrow?

Hope so.

Oh yeah, did you notice how it's staying lighter out longer? Phew, time's going fast.

Also, anyone like my new layout? I took the pic up there when I was on vacation in florida! =)
