So, since last I wrote some things have happened. First of all, I still need to get to Macy's. I'm still looking for pants that don't have holes in the crotch... I can't quite figure out why their are holes there to begin with actually, hehe.

So, not this past weekend, but the one before (3/17/07) my mom and stepdad met Rich's parents, for the first time. I think the whole thing went pretty well. They seemed to get along. I don't really have very much else to say about that.

I went to my old college last Wednesday and picked up a copy of my transcript. I sent in my application for college on Thursday. So, now I'm just waiting to see what happens.

This past weekend (3/24/07) my boyfriend and I recreated our first date. We haven't had time to since our anniversary (2/3). So, we went to the same Japanese restaurant (I ordered the same thing, he didn't), and after that we went to the local pool hall. We both sincerely suck. That's ok though, we still have fun. Earlier in the day, we were so tired we could barely move. I made peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches for lunch and then we just fell asleep :- P. When we finally made it out of the house we went to this new mall in a neighboring town. It was actually a very nice place, for a mall. It is an outdoor mall and had different stores in it than most places near here. I pre-ordered Harry Potter #7 at Borders, hehe. It was just a good place to walk around. The only downside is that it's right across from a cemetary, so that's kind of depressing.

We had planned to go see a movie before dinner, but since we didn't start out of the house until after 4PM... yeah, it didn't happen.

Next week, hopefully, my boyfriend and I are going to go away. Just to MA, probably Boston. We both just need to get away. Hopefully next time we go away, it can be a little farther. I need a better job first, then I can pay. I kind of want to go to England, and Italy, and France. Although, right now, I would gladly settle for Florida, hehe.

Anyway, I'll write more later. Tell me something you people out there.

I think I've calmed down a bit since my last ranting blog post. I still want all the things I mentioned before, but not in a "I'll die if I can't get it" kind of way. At some point this week, I'm going to try to put together some outfit, a nice one. Next week I think I'm going to apply for jobs in Bloomingdales, Saks, and maybe Lord & Taylor. Just thinking of it makes me nervous. I've only ever worked at my current place of employment. Different departments, different bosses, but still the same place with me basically doing the same thing. I've never done anything else. I don't really have any other skills. I mean, I work with people. That's a skill that comes in pretty handy just about anywhere, no matter what you're doing. So, there's that. I guess other than that, you're just trained on the job. I mean, I can be a perfume girl. It's not something I ever aspired to be, but I can do it. And I can give people makeovers, clothes wise, and even make up. So, it's not like I have no skills that a department store might want. I don't know, just nervous I guess.

Anyway, I do still want to get out of town. I think during Pesach (or spring break if you prefer), I'm gonig away with my boyfriend. I mean we aren't going anywhere warm or anything. I think we're going to Boston. However, at least we're getting out of town. Unfortunately, classes at work, end next week. I'm not exactly sure when Pesach is, but I know it's early April. Basically, I'm going to be totally broke for a month or more. I'm so glad. I guess if I beg my mother, she'll probably help me out a little bit. I hate begging my mother for money.

Looking at the silver lining... I get to go away with my boyfriend. We really need to spend some time alone together. He's been really busy lately, and I just want to be with him. I love him. He wants to be with me too by the way. I'm not stalking him. I don't even want to do all the historical things, I mean I do, I am interested. I just want to hang out and relax. You think I should still look for a job before I go away? I mean I could just tell them I'm not available until after I come back. I guess Rich and I will have to set the dates for us going and coming back. Maybe we'll figure it out this weekend.

I think I will end this blog since I am starting to ramble again. Ok people, talk to you all later!



(Just a reminder, I can't do spell check with this new version of blogger, so please, don't mind the typos, thanks)

People are really annoying me lately. I really need to get out of this town. I need to do something with my life. At least I need to get away for a little while. I haven't been out of town since the summer, when I went to Boston with Rich. I know that isn't exactly the longest I or others have been without a vacation. However, it's really time I get out of here. I don't even really care where I go... Although, If I were to be honest about it, I'd like to go somewhere warm. Somewhere where I don't really have to think about anything. I guess I want to go some place like Florida. It's too expansive though. I'm trying to save for a car. That means I can't really have anything else until I get a car. I haven't bought any clothes this winter. I bought one pair of shoes, but I needed them for an occasion. I've looked like crap all winter, and fall for that matter. I need to get my hair dyed. I need to get a hair cut while I'm at it. I sort of wish I came from a wealthy family, so that my parents could really support me. I mean, they put a roof over my head, and my father generally feeds me four times a week. But except for medical bills... I pretty much pay for everything I need while still trying to save for a car. I buy my own books, I buy my own clothes (when I get them), I pay for my own lunch, when I eat it. When I make dinner at home, I pay for all the seperate ingredients. I know it doesn't sound all that bad, but it really is. I work, but it's not like I make a hell of a lot of money. I generally make less than $200 a month. That works out fine, if nothing comes up, like people's birthdays, and also if I'm not trying to save for a car. My cat isn't even currently living with me. There are a few reasons for this, but one of the main reasons is that I honestly can't afford having a boyfriend and a cat. When I go out with my boyfriend, I don't expect him to pay for everything all the time. I pay for things also. So what ends up happening is that I spend like $40 a week on the two of us, mostly just for food. I used to spend $40 a week on the cat. So, that's how I can't afford both a boyfriend and my cat.

I really need another job. I don't even know where to look though. I don't especially want to work in retail, but I think I'm going to have to. Unless something else comes along, and why would it? Life just doesn't give you opportunities, you have to go out and get them. I can't really get anywhere, since I don't have a car... and since I don't have a car, I can't really get anywhere... It's my favorite little paradox. I'm probably going to end up applying for a job in the city. A big store I think... Macy's... and maybe Bloomingdales, we'll see. Maybe I'll apply to a Barnes&Noble, but I seriously don't want to stack and sort books. If I can find a job somewhere that involves writing in some way, that would be great. Somehow though, I don't see that happening. I guess when I go back to school, I'll have less time to worry about stuff, and also an excuse why I don't have another job....

I need to get another job before I go back to school, before the summer also. I need the money. I need to be able to save some money so that I can get a car and get to school... Also, I need the money once I have the car, so that I can pay for gas. Life should not be based around money. Seriously, we should find another way.

Far be it for me to compare life to Star Trek, but they figured out how to abolish the need for money, and we should seriously consider figuring out how to do that.

I think I'm done rambling now. But who knows, maybe I'll be back later....

My day, for me anyway, was actually pretty full today. It started later than I had intended because for some reason last night, I couldn't fall asleep. Anyway, after my boyfriend called me, around 11:30AM, I got out of bed and started my day. First I had a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles. Now, I am not one for sugary cereal, at least not in the morning, but sue me, I wanted a sugar rush. So, after eating, I lay in bed for a while (that's where I ate by the way). Then I got on my computer and started searching for information. You see, I'm trying to re-apply to college. In doing this I hope to basically start my professional life. Isn't that why most people go to college? Anyway, in order to apply to other colleges, I have to collect my transcripts from all my secondary schools, starting with high school. So, on Monday, I went back to high school and ordered that transcript, I'm still waiting for it. Today, I went to my colleges web page and printed out a "request of official transcript" form. I filled it out, and wrote out a check for the college. Isn't it nice that I have to pay them to release something that in essence is mine? Having filled out all this information, I called my boyfriend to ask him a question. Somehow, we ended up being on the phone for about forty five minutes. After that conversation, I got myself dressed, and went to the city. It takes me about an hour to get to school, which really isn't all that bad considering I have to leave one town and go into another. It's why I went to that school to begin with. Anyway, my point is that it took me just under an hour to get there. The business I had to do there, took all of five minutes, tops. I had printed and filled the form out at home, I had already written out the check. All I had to do was wait for the woman behind the desk to give me recipt. So, I went home. Now that is annoying. I wish I had some other sort of thing to do in that part of the city, but I didn't. I was actually considering going to Starbucks just so that I would be there longer. However, I decided it was a silly way to waste money. That's the same reason I didn't go to Bloomingdales, hehe.

After returning to Queens, I went to my dad's house. We ordered a pizza, half sausage, half regular. We watched TV and I think I fell asleep for about a half hour. Later, after his class, my boyfriend came over to visit. He took me home from my dad's house and we jsut hung around and talked for a little while. Then he went home. I'm not seeing him until Saturday this week, and I miss him.

*sigh* I can't wait for us to start our lives together. I don't even mean marriage, I just mean living together. Probably won't happen for at least three years, but I can still think about it... and about decorating the apartment, right? That's not so weird is it? :- D

So, my weekend was as follows: Friday evening my boyfriend picked me up. We went back to his house and had dinner with his parents and his brother and his wife. Then we sat around talking for a while. Rich's brother and sister in law went home and his parents went to bed. Rich and I talked and watched TV before going to sleep. Saturday, we were in no rush to get out of the house. We ate breakfast, watched TV, talked. After Rich's parent's got home, Rich and I went out. We went to the mall to search for a birthday present for my father. His birthday, is on Monday. We shoppped a little, then we has a little luch, then we shopped a little more. We went back to Rich's house from the mall, and his dad gave me a strep test. Ya see, I've had the flu for the past week. I could barely move. Then it seemed to be going away by Thursday. However, it left me with a sore throat. I have a history of strep, and even though I havent had it in a couple of years, I just wanted to make sure. So Thursday evening my mother took me to her doctor. He said, what's wrong? I said, my throat hurts. He said, ok here's an antibiotic. So he didn't give me a strep test, but he gave me a a drug to fight strep. So, for some reason, I took the first dose of the antibiotic. It swelled up my tongue. So, I didn't take more. Instead I asked Rich's father to give me a strep test. So, that's what Rich and I did after the mall. Then we took the culture to the lab, went back to Rich's house for a bit, and then went out to dinner. We went to this Thai place we had been to once before. It wasn't so good this time. The service was horrible. They put us in a corner and basically ignored us. Also, I didn't think the food was all that great. Anyway, after dinner, we went back to Rich's house. We hung around for a while and then went to see "Wild Hogs." It was actually very funny. I recommend it. After the movie, we went back to Rich's house. I filled out my college application, and Rich did some work, I helped :- D. We left Rich's house at about 3:00AM. That's when he took me home.

Sunday, my mom, stepdad, and I went to Brooklyn to visit my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin. It was Purim, so they had a little party. It was just a lunch/dinner party, but it was fun. We hadn't seen them in a while. We got home around 8:00PM. I did some reading, watched some TV, and later on I made myself a salad because I was hungry. Now I'm doing this, and I know this entry sucks, but at the moment, I don't care. I've still got to find my dad a birthday present, all before I have to go to work. Why is it that I have so much extra time, but I still don't have any time for anything? I've also got to go to my old high school and get my transcript. That should be fun, I love gonig back there (major sarcasm).

So, thats what I gotta do tomorrow. Later ppl!
