grr

Fox News often has a Grr posting so here is my grr for the day. First of all, my day started bad before the dya even officialy starting. I had beent talking to my mom about having the car. She then went to my dad and said, "Evie would like to have the car tomorrow because she wantst to go help out on Third Thursday at Apex." Well my mom then comes stomping down stairs. He was muttering somethign to himself and was clearly mad about something. He then said to me in an arritated voice, "You can have the car tomorrow."

Now, why was he so mad about having to give me the car? Who knows. Who cars. The point is he lashed out at me and left me wondering what I had done that was so horribly wrong that he snapped at me. I then went up stairs so he wouldn't see my cry; hurt and confused about the big deal abpit my having the car. Granted, we only have two cars between the two of us. With the winter storm comming, mom and dad start getting ants about giving me the car, worried to death I might get hurt or at the very lease total the car. Now, today what was suppose to happen was I was suppose to drive to work six, come home, go pick-up mom from work and then head on over to Apex for Third Thursday. By the time I left work four hours later, there were two messages on my cell and a written message left for me on the driver's side seat of the car telling met to go straight home and not drive anywhere unless I absolutely had to. So, though I am a twenty-four year old adult, I still have no say in life about how I am going to spend my time and must have my parents blessing to volunteer my time however I see fit.

Normally, I would have walked home. The problem: the roads are always more cleared than what the sidewalks are and it can be almost dangerouse if not more dangerous for me to walk home than to drive. My dad doesn't seem to understand this. I just hope that nobody else is staying home from Third Thursday because of the weather. Atleast I have the luxury of not having to worry about where my next meal comes from. The people who depend on Apex to deliver that food can't afford for everyone to wimp out. We made a commitment to these people and we need to keep it.

In other news:

-I found out that when you take previously owned videos and sell them back to the video stores, atleast some of the stores only give you in store credit, not cash. I decided that was better than nothing because after all, I will have a movie or too in the distant future that I will want to watch. Ten bucks Tun bucks, no?

-I asked the small group to pray about my hours. I found out Thursday after being off work for the past three days that the lady that normaly does salads had been off because her mother had a heart attack. I was hired for the sole purpose of helping them with salads but did anybody bother to call me in to help? NO! I could have worked every day this week. On the bright I haggled to come in at 8:30 am instead of 11:00 am to give me time to the preps for salad and for lunch. Hopefully I will still work until about 2 or 3 o'clock.

Things to do today and this week

1. I need to go through all our wrapping paper for christmas (Done).
2. Finish workin on my story
3. Clean my bathroom
4. Get family pictures taken
5. Contact my old highschool teacher about editing my story
6. Take videos to sell back to video store on Alex Road.

All of these aren't going to be that hard. With the exception of #5. She is a very difficult woman to get a hold of. I havn't gotten to tell her exactly why it is I needed to get a hold of her. Every time I call her she's like,"I can't talk right now I'm babysitting my grandkids." The problem: I think I am beginning to believe the grandchildren are always there. And I need to get together with her soon b/c she is moving to South Carolina to go to semonary school, which I think is pretty cool. #6 is the one that makes me feel absolutely sad. At some area video stores if you bring them your old DVDs/Vidoes, they buy them back from you and sell them with a sticker that says previously viewed or something like that. I wish I didn't need the money so bad.:P

In other news, Josh and I will be going to see the King Kong movie on Sunday. But did you know that its almost three hours long? He said that on our date last Saturday they he hated really long movies. And joked that I would need to keep him awake. That better be a joke! Whats a girl suppose to do when her date falls a sleep in the middle of a movie!lol Some girls I think would be very offended.

Later,

Evie

My color is

Based on your choices, you seem to lean toward the traits associated with an
affinity for the color red. Your friends likely describe you as warm,
passionate, and dynamic. You tend to feel emotions strongly and often wear your
heart on your sleeve.
A very social person, you are popular for your energy
and readiness to have a good time. You're one person who's always ready to
party! When it comes to relationships, work, and even how you decorate your
home, you can be pretty traditional, but you're also willing to make bold moves
to make a statement.
Your strong opinions and competitive nature mean that
you sometimes clash with others, but often your warmth and confidence save the
day. If you want to introduce your signature color into your home's décor,
consider a rich red for a formal dining room or as an unexpected punch of color
in an entryway.

This was very me in some respects. Click on tittle to find out your color.

Sorry and updates

Hi. Long time no see! I am sorry I haven't posted but wanted to let you all knew that I am still living. I would like to say a few words about Reagan. He was in office while I grew up in the 80's. I was born in 81 so he is the first president I knew of when I was old enough to understand what a president was. His passing was kind of like losing one more link to my childhood. His funeral was quite long and when my father was watching the motorcade for like ten minutes just driving and driving, he felt it was kind of boring. Oh, I didn't know state funerals were supposed to be exciting. I kind of agreed and much more enjoyed the parts of different people speaking and sharing memories. This was also for me the first state funeral I ever remembered seeing and was interesting to see what all is involved. It was magnificent undertaking for a magnificent man. May you rest in peace, Mr. President.

Got Gas?

Gasoline, that is. Earlier this month I posted about the May 19 gas boycott. Hats off to those of you who participated. Until I spotted
Break the Change on google I didn't know this boycott of gas had been tried again and again with the same none-existent result. I also learned something about the world of chain letters.
