It has been a really rough week! I have become soft in my old age: I found myself complaining that i have only been getting five hours of sleep a night. I remember when 5 hours of sleep was the best gift i could recieve! I set the wrong alarm this morning, (i meant to set the one for 7:00, but i set the one for 9:00, and i was supposed to be at work at 9:15!) I still woke up at 8:00, without an alarm. I actually NATURALLY wake up at *8:00* IN THE MORNING!!! That used to be way too early, but now i feel lucky when i get to sleep that long. I even got up then after the night i woke up because of a tornado warning at 4am and had to sit in my bathtub for an hour till it was over, and i STILL was wide awake at 8! HOw i long for the days when i would stay up till the wee hours, and then sleep till noon! But then again, if i did that, i would also have to go to classes, and write papers, and eat food from the dining halls (wait a minute, i still do that...what do you think mall food is?!?!) and live in a single room the size of my closet.
...on second thought, maybe this is better!

this month is going to be rough though. I work the next five days in a row (doesn't sound difficult, but believe me, in retail, that is a prison sentence!) and then a week later, i'm working 8 days in a row! I have to work 3 out of 4 weekends, both days. generally a crappy schedule. But, i got every sunday off durring march (minor miracle!) so it all panns out, i guess. I have to work almost 10 hrs tomorrow (SUNDAY!) but i don't have to come in till 2 on monday.

So, in short, I am going to see spiderman tonight, instead of doing my laundary, and i am going to eat and entire bucket of popcorn for dinner, instead of a real dinner, and i will enjoy every minute of it because i have no other shreds of a life! HAHAHA!!!

(deep cleansing breath) ...i feel better now...

I need to make an addendum to the previous post:

The thief took off with my cell phone charger and hands-free system, the poopy bastard!

(...the thought just occured to me that that's not a very nice word to use... please insert the word of your choice.)

I don't believe it!! My car was just broken into! Nothing taken, thankfully, but it looked like he was going for the cdplayer in the console. THe guy was pretty balzy though. I heard my car alarm, and when i went outside to see what was going on, i saw him get out of my car and run past me to the next apartment complex. But he wasn't running all that fast. I was able to get a really good look at him, concidering it was dark. If it were me, and an alarm was going off very loudly in a quiet parking lot, i would be running a lot faster than an idle jog! Stupid or balzy...can't decide. However, he was breaking into a car with a clearly visible theft system indicator, so how smart could he be to start with??

Part of me is kicking myself for not saying anything to him. Not even something so articulate as "Stop!". Or, i could have gone over to my car and laid the smack down on him. That could have worked. but most likely he would have attacked me instead of just running away. So i guess i'm glad i didn't say anything.

But i got to call 911 for the first time in my life, so it's a record-breaking day!

I saw this in Kay's website and had to try it! HA! I was hoping i would be Belle...she's my favorite!!

Disney Princesses
Which of the Disney Princesses are you?

I saw this TV program the other day on TLC that drove me crazy. Called the "Mysteries of the Bible". That's fine, but they talked for half an hour about the Bible Code, which in my opinion, doesn't really have anything to do with what the Bible actually says. Then, and this is my favorite part, They went on to say that Ezekiel's vision was really a spaceship, and that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by a nuclear bomb! And, of course, NONE of it was based on any sort of expert opinion or documentation, but rather on what "could be possible, with a little imagination"! They would bring in experts to explain the Biblical story, but the interpreting part was done by the show's host, a really shifty looking guy with a high-pitched, whiny voice, that had no education in the subject at all!

OH, but here's the best part! Before this show, there was a show about finding the Garded of Eden, where they were using the Bible as an actual reliable source of history. Ok, so explain to me how it can be a reliable historical account, and then an hour later, be so open to interpretation that you can read Sodom and Gomorrah, and see a NUCLEAR BOMB!?!?!? I about pulled my hair out!!

The funny thing is, that the Mysteries show had a huge disclaimer before it that "the opinions in this program do not reflect the opinions of the network", but before Eden, no disclaimer. So in other words, THEY knew it was bunk, but for some unfathomable reason felt compeled to air it anyway. (actually, i think it's a legal thing that they have to give all opinions an equal opportunity for air time, or at least in radio it is.)

IF they would actually read the Bible, there are a lot more compelling mysteries in it that just whether Ezekiel saw a spaceship or not, and they are much more intriguing and wonderful too!
