September 29th, 2005 - "sugar we're going down"

ahoy mates. i am sitting here at work, with my boss in the room. doing nothing. but get this, i have permission to be doing nothing. i have absolutely no work to do, to the point where rob needs to finish eating and then find something, or create something for me to work on. i love that. he should really just send me home, cuz that would be totally cool. i could do some dishes, some laundry, some napping... lol

i really need to work on saving money. i used to be way better at it than i am now. i spend all my money on the weekend and leave myself with the option of killing off the last 20 bucks on my credit card, or starving. no good. i am a frugal bitch sometimes. a large part of it has to do with my need to see every new movie that comes out. also has something to do with eating out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday. and it definetely has something to do with my pot and alcohol consumption. but i must admit, i only drink on the weekends, and generally only one night of the weekend. and i am down to making an entire 1/8 last only a week. i used to go thru a half ounce a week when i lived at blueberry. cool.

last weekend was pretty sweet. the highlight was taking the roots down below groupie school bus down to lupo's in providence, ri. i went with keegan, jeni, and erin condon. i love those kids more than words. i say kids when they are all just about 22, and im only 20 still.. hah. anyway- the ride down was ok except for the fact that i had to pee so bad i thought i was actually just gonna go... but i made it thankfully. jeni made the mistake of giving me her 21+ bracelet, so i spent the better part of 60 bucks or so at the bar on bay breeze's. roots down below was awesome, i watched none of the middle band, and then badfish was incredible as always. that was my 3rd time seeing them. awesome time except for when we went to get on the bus and go home. someone stole 1000 dollars from the band. the bus came to get us at 11, we didnt end up leaving providence till after 1am, because we were paraded on and off the bus over and over, searched by males and females at least 10 times, all our belongings were gone thru a buncha times... it was ridiculous. anyway- the band pinpointed matty adams as the culprit since he was in charge of the money, and was the last one with it. they also found half the cash stashed in the seat he had been sitting in. its so sucky. who knows if it was him or if he was framed? not me thats for sure. anyway- the end of the evening was an absolute nightmare.

weight watchers is going good, going strong. i only fucked up that one night at lupo's on alcohol. it's all good tho. this diet is turning me into a vegetarian, its not so bad. i absolutely LOVE veggie pokkets from d'angelos... i would take that over a steak and cheese or a chicken salad anyday, and i do, everyday. hah. i have also just recently found a love for clam chowdah. i always hated it. i guess it is true that you acquire new tastes as u get older. fun. keegan made me dinner last night since he didnt have to work till 7. he is so amazing.

speaking of his amazingness...
saturday morning i woke up and he wasn't home. i found a note next to my bed explaining that he had gone to run some errands. i called him and he told me he would bring me home an ice coffee. a few hours later he shows up with a white bag in his hand. i was curious. he ended up giving it to me as an early bday present. it happened to be an absolutely gorgeous skirt, handmade in paris. he got it from this big huge tent at dick n' ellie's flea market. i always go in there and marvel at their beautiful clothes, but all their skirts were $70 or more. he picked one out that he knew i would love, and he loved it too. i just need a top to wear with it, that i fear i will never find. but im horrified at the thought of wearing it and then having to wash it, since i have never owned any clothing item so expensive in my life.

jeni, erin c, jared, and bam came over the other night. jeni cooked me veggies and cheese. we watched so i married an axe murderer, and i taught jared how to play war. i almost broke my seal and made him cry, but i got him to shake it off and take it like a man. damn cute kid.

i just met my new potential boss. he is a whackjob, but i like him. he quit school when he was 16 and traveled the country. he was also a dead head and he said they just got on a bus and would wake up from their stoner buzz every so often and decide when and where to get off the bus. then they would find a hippie commune or a biker commune and pitch a tent.. wake up.. and be like.. where the hell are we? funny guy. he actually just walked by the front of the store and tossed me the peace sign. we will get along great.

so my big bday bash is gonna be november 18th, which is jeni's due date. uh oh. as of right now the plan is to rent the vfw... i wanted roots down below to play, but they have a gig that night. i said i would move it to saturday instead if they could play that night, but no answer yet, and they probably cant. but its gonna be good no matter what.

i get paid today. must pay my car payment first. then i have a little less than 200 to live on for the week. and less than 20 on my credit card. lets see how i do with this. yikes.

well gutta go get back to work. scanning time. woo hoo.
