Janice's cat..

Sooo Janice has this cat, Bobs daughter dropped it off last night, and she put it in a box, and opened the garage, the thing takes off running... If I had to live with Janice I would too lol...

Well tonight Katie and I are outside and it comes up to us and we tried to catch it and had no such luck. Poor kitty I feel bad that its outside in the horrible weather... It looks like my little mittens did minus the extra paws, Janice was going to name it chai latte or something poor poor kitty.

The Farm..

So yesterday we went up to the farm to visit with my dad and aunt anna. While we were at The Stables Restaurant, we heard the emergency beeps over the radio, and of course me and my father pull out our cell phones to see what it was bc you couldn't make out what the radio was saying. Turns out a huge ominous storm is approaching.. one that could.. and would produce two inch hail, damaging winds and torrential down pours. Soooo.. we go back to the barn.. and of course.. two seconds after walking in, boom! the skies open up.. and god was it loud.. so.. yeah.. heres some pictures... lol

The Drama lately...

Sooooooo... after having been a friend to heather, feeding here when she was hungry, listening to her annoying stories over and over and over... and her insistent chatter about Carroll's penis... like let it go already... her melodrama... her lies and head games all of it i put up with. She in the beginning was only supposed to pretend to date Eric, she wanted to get Carroll of her back, why she didn't just tell him she wasn't interested is beyond me, but pretending turned into the real thing somehow. and what ensued was her making a mockery of my very close friend. She used him in every way imaginable, even to push her own agenda with the rest of the group, believe it or not she went as far as to insinuate he raped her. Then if this is not enough, she brings her ex boyfriend Eric from Tennessee back home and has him move in with her and lies continuously about that.. so when i do confront her.. she decides to make my life hell at work and tell my boss lies about me.. she is unholy stupid. I'm really not sure why i bother to have friends any more.

The new girl...

So I feel really bad for the new girl at work... she was there two days before she started hating janice, actually, the first time i saw her the first words out of her mouth were "help me" having Hitler up your butt for hours on end.. is not something i would ever want. In-fact, i don't think i could handle that at all... well anyways, i think that she is gonna try to stay at the Olyphant house, i dunno. She is a really funny girl, i think she said her husband was blind? i cant remember.. but its great, she hates janice even before i open my mouth. At least i dont have to deal with her alone any more..

It was the best of time... And now its the worst of times...

Sometimes I don't understand myself, my life, or which paths I am meant to walk in life, I try to live it by doing what is fair and right, but fair and right are not always easy. And sometimes they hurt others, and myself, sometimes its saying good bye to things that up until that point you never knew existed, feelings that were so strong... You're left in awe ... and now, left to wonder... What was I thinking and where the hell did I go wrong? Can this really be it? Is this really what it's come to?!? I guess we never truly know if the decisions we make are the right ones, and some decisions that seemed right will haunt you forever, or at least me... I keep catching glimpses of "I didn't expect this" or "I don't want this" and the endless waterfall starts, not for myself, but for whom I have hurt with my words, actions, and decisions. I feel like I have made the worst decision I could have. I feel empty, I feel wrong, my life is full of these regrets, and I am left to wonder if for once in my life, will I ever do something right? Will I ever be able to make someone truly happy? Is happiness even a real thing that we strive for? Or it is imaginary like the Easter bunny or Santa Clause? I just wish I had a crystal ball.... Or a time machine, so I could take it all back, or I could know what I really did. Nothing is right in my world. Nothing.

Ct Trip..

So i took Heather and Jax to Ct, we spent the weekend at the lake house.. it was.. well an interesting time to say the VERY least, we arrived at the house around 3 am after having been angry with Jax's GPS, which ultimately was 100% accurate, though on the way i looked at the map in the CT welcome center, just to be sure, and Heather found a drunk man, a VERY drunk man.. i mean my lord did he reek!! who then hopped in his car and speed off into the night.. pretty scary, then while we were looking to see if the drunk man was anywhere near us on the road, you know, not looking to really die on the way there and all.. we notice a car on rt84 driving with no headlights, in the pitch black of night... the genius didn't realize until like 15 mins later.. at which point i sent Dan some txt saying some thing like, "drunk guy at the rest stop and some other idiot with no lights, its good to be home in ct" *rolls eyes*

I think i got a little off topic, we get to the house, and by brother greg, and this comes as no surprise, is drinking downstairs in the family room, or let me correct that, drunk, with Audrey, and John Skogg.. and doing all the dumb things one who is drunk does, he was also high as a kite, of course my mothers one stipulation for them to stay there was, no drugs of alcohol, yeah we can see he really respects her wishes.. Tony quoted it best today.. “Parents who allow their children to make 'adult' decisions, yet consistently shield them from personal responsibility and the 'adult' consequences of their actions, set their kids up for failure in life and are abusing them as surely as if they whip them daily...” – anonymous yeah.. something i wish i had the balls to send to my mother, oh well.. she wants to let greg continue to run her life thats her business. he still makes me ill. so after this, the girls and i went up to the lake room and watched the oblongs. then went to bed.

Saturday now, i wake up at 10 am, go out to the car to get everyone's clothes so we can go to Coffee's and get, you guessed it, coffee, lol.. my mother had made her AWESOME breakfast casserole.. yumm yumm.. i get out to my car and notice a nice scrape in the front bumper which also had john's car color paint chips in it, and john's car was exceptionally close to mine, not how it was parked last night, i promptly got michael up to double check because he was the one who parked my car, he agreed that he had not parked my car that close to johns. so i ran down stairs and woke john up with a smack upside his head asking him why his stupid drunk ass went driving last night? and why the fuck did he hit my car?!? and guess what? really just guess, he hadn't taken the car, my stupid ass brother did. and of course, what did he do? oh i didn't hit your car! i was like how the fuck do you think i knew you left last night?!?! good lord, yet another instance where there is no consequences for his stupid actions. i let it go because i knew everyone else wouldn't care, and wouldn't do a damn thing about it. fuck. so then we went out with my mother, mike stayed at the house to get homework done and put the dock in, well we drove to the christmas tree shop, and as soon as we pull in, there is greg on my mothers phone FREAKING out, screaming at my mother for my dad calling him out on doing something wrong, she stayed outside talking to him for 20 mins, they found his bottle of bacardi, he must think my parents are really fucking stupid because he told my mother it was an old bottle, ok.. so like why are you carrying it around? he is so infuriating!!! well finally he hung up with my mother, and she came in the store, we got tons of cool stuff, and then went to Nyantic, we wandered around the stores for a while, and hit up the book barn annex, in the city, met the cool cat frank, and talked with the owner for a while, my mother and i were telling jax and heather that we were on L.I. Sound, but you couldn't see it because it was so foggy. we walked through some more stores then walked to Skippers.. yay!! had some good food.. it was nice, New England lobster is wayyy better than PA lobster.. then went to the actual book barn jackie found a dog to play with and play she did, i got two books there and took lots of pictures, then we went back home. rested for a while and went to aunt nancy and uncle bills #2 in Old Saybrook. we had dinner there and heard about the fire that had happened on the grill prior to us arriving, the potatoes were then called mickies all night. it was fun. We got home and greg hounded poor Heather for Darvocet alll night.. asshole.

Sunday, again we woke up early and went to Coffee's, (i got up at 7 am and hung out with my dad) i got my usually spinach bagel with Lox.. mmmmmmmm and an iced coffee. i got michael one with mocha in it and started missing my puppy. So it was mothers day so i gave my mother her card, and she had invited greg to go with us to New Haven, i kinda didn't want him to, but took him anyways, he was actually pretty well behaved for most of the day, save the fact that he opened heather's car door on 95 and nearly pushed her out.. dick head. we went to the Yale Museum Of Art and wandered around town, hit up Ikea and had lunch at Claire's like wow good veggi food, then headed back to the lake and had salmon dinner with my parents, and headed home, not before jax put her head through the glass door to the house.. she wouldn't let anyone look at it.. i assume she is ok?? let hope.. so yeah.. that was our great weekend..

Unacceptable

yes, that is a good word, it has been unacceptably long since i have last posted here.. good lord! like last freggin month.. i am a terrible slacker *hangs head* i suppose its because i really haven't had too much interesting to say. lets see, so on the janice front, she has been frighteningly nice to me lately, save for putting me on schedule for my day off with out asking first. but really no complaints there, even gave me yesterday off. though a bit of a funny revelation heather and i had today, well not funny, but funny for what could happen, every day heather goes running at lake scranton, and every day she sees janice running there, here's the fun part, she sees her at like 1pm or 2pm, and janice is on the clock until 3pm. heather also told me she has seen the work van there on numerous occasions, which is also interesting because i wonder what she writes on the van log? does she fudge the time? i mean i guess she doesn't need to fudge the millage, because it is on her way back from day program.. but sheesh! if that isn't a blatant disregard for the company i don't know what is! and then heather and i were talking like friday i think it was about how nell doesn't mop the floors, so she put a line on the bottle of the floor cleaner and a rubber band around the mop, and a piece of paper in the floor cleaner top, one that would certainly fall out if you used it. heather then wasn't on for two days, the level was still at the line, the paper still there and the rubber band still on the mop, thus confirming our suspicions. of course really nothing we can do about it. i am pretty sure neither of them can do a thing to get fired which is unfortunate, because i have never seen people get away with so much, oh and i told janice that i had suspicions that nell wasn't cleaning and charging the razors at night, because the one was never done, so when she got a new one, i left the charger up in the box, and low and behold, charger was still in the box the next day, plastic and all.. confirming my suspicions, freggin a! does she do anything on her shift? christa told me she found her sleeping in a residents bed the one time.. its just unreal.. but.. heck karma.. it's a bitch and eventually it will come back to them. just have to wait for the right person to come along with enough pull.. eh anyways.. thats about that... and on a side note, i set my washing machine on fire tonight.
