"Top 100" Delayed

Due to major technical difficulties, the release of "Mic's Top 100 Songs of 2008" has been delayed until Monday evening.

Oh No My Computer Is Dying!

Oh no! It's going crazy! I can barely do anything! I think it's about to completely die. I hope I can get my Top 100 done before it goes completely. I was gonna start work on it today. :( I will try to keep you updated. I know that starting today and thanks to a long weekend, I am jam packed busy through Sunday!

Crazy Weekend!

So wow this last weekend was insane. Some bad, a lot good! So let's go in order. On Friday I was at work, and it was a NASTY cold rainy day. It was ugly. Well I was winding pickup and at 9:44 AM I got a phone call from Lisa telling me that mommom had been rushed to the hospital cuz they thought she had a heart attack. So I immediately leave work and rush to the hospital where I spent many hours with my grandmother and Lisa and my mom. Well when we found out that she was gonna be OK, they let her check out later Friday night. So I drove my mom home and then I packed up and decided to go over Alex's house. Well it's about 7PM and I'm on my way then I get a text telling my I will be staying the night at Phil's. So I met up with Alex and we drove over to Phil's house and we just did random things. Mostly we watched TV and movies. "House Bunny" is friggin hilarious! We got to sleep at around 6 AM on Saturday lol. So then I slept from 6 AM til like 11:30AM, then I hopped in the shower and we all headed to Old Country Buffet. I ate SO much OMG! I'm not even going to say what I had. We actually had a lot of fun there :). Then we went to Target and shopped and took pics there and then we dropped Phil off at his house (after forcing him to listen to a couple of Britney songs, hehe). Then Alex and I went to his house and watched some TV and then headed back out at like 9PM to Hong Kong Buffet in Edgewater. I hadn't been there since like 2001! I loved it :) And of course I had a lot to eat there haha. Then we jammed out to some tunes on the way back to his house and we stayed up watching more TV and went to sleep at like 4:30 AM Sunday. I slept until like 11AM and apparently had missed out on some snow and ice cuz I checked my phone and saw my mom telling me to stay at Alex's until all the ice melted. When I looked outside everything had already disappeared lol. So then at like 11:30AM I headed home. And proceeded to watch the Steelers get their butts kicked by the Titans :-D

Here's Phil and Alex on their cart lol

Me randomly smiling inside Target

Here I am in the vacuum section of Target

And here is Alex and Phil messing around in the parking garage.

I Have Hives!

So apparently I have hives. I'm having a reaction to medication that I was taking for my ears. Ugh. I'm all itchy and broken out on my feet and legs. It's crazy!

Closure FINALLY!

Ok so do you remember this summer when I had like an emotional breakdown? Click Here to go back and look through those crazy posts to remind yourself. Well to be honest, it was about a person. However, after 5 months, because of someone's humility and guilt, lol, that is all officially behind me. I'm not going to get into too much detail, but they apologized up and down and all around. Genuinely. And didn't want anything in return. It's amazing how much a simple, whole hearted apology can heal things. It feels really good to know that when I run into this person at the mall, or the store, or just in passing, that instead of feeling anger and hurt, I can wave and say hi with a smile and know that all is good between us. :-) I wouldn't say we are friends, we won't be hanging out. But we are civil towards eachother. And that is all I wanted. Finally, I can close this chapter of my life with a good ending.

So Many Missed Meetings :-(

So I have missed a lot of meeting because of my illness. However, I think I am getting better enough that starting next week I will be able to go again without fearing getting others sick. So hopefully, everything starts to get back to normal again next week. This has been a 3 week horrible sickness. It sucks.

Big Update On The Last Week

Ok so I'm still not feeling well so this is a major update in a few lines. I'm still sick. Still coughing up mucus. But I feel better too. I am sleeping again yay! My ear infection got worse. I'm almost deaf in my left ear. The meds they gave me didnt help so now they are worried there is permanent damage. I go to the docs tomorrow. I just want to feel better. BTW, I have been sick since November 27...as seen in previous posts. In other news, Britney sold over 500,000 copies of her album in it's first week :-D. And finally... I'm poor lol. The End

So Much Lost Sleep!

Yeah so I'm all better... except for one major thing, that being my lungs! I have so much stuff in them its crazy! Finally during the day if I don't dance around or talk too much I can breath without choking. Night time is a TOTALLY different story. I have barely slept any in the past three nights. I lay there and feel like I'm drowning in my lungs from that stuff and keep coughing and choking on it. I went to the docs today and they gave me new meds. It's crazy. I'm so ready for sleep OMG!

"Britney Spears Day"

I'm so friggin sick it's insane. I hate hate hate this! I'm FORCING myself to go back to work tomorrow and hope everything will work out. Anyway even though I'm really sick, last night I found out that Britney tickets were going on sale today at 8AM. And that she would be performing at that time on Good Morning America. And that her album came out today lol. So I got up at 7 AM today, 4.5 hours after going to bed lol, and turned on GMA and instantly saw all the promo for Britney Spears and her album "Circus". Well a really long story short... and I usually don't talk money on here, but I am today cuz it's special... but long story short, I watched Britney perform her songs on Good Morning America, bought to AWESOME near the stage seats to her "The Circus Starring: Britney Spears" Tour on March 24 in DC, and I ran out in my sweats, hoodie, MAJOR scruff and bought her album... the Deluxe version ;)... of course never taking my sunglasses off the entire time. I was coughing so much just from walking! Anyway now to the money part. Let's just get it over. This past,oh, 12 hours or so has cost me about $350, all on Britney! Lol. Yeah it's a lot. I know. But this is friggin Britney Spears!! Anyway, that's that. I'm so excited about all of this omg. Click Here to take a look back at her amazing performances this week!

Went To The Doctors

So yesterday I went to Urgent Care cuz I couldn't take it anymore. So I get there and they examine me every which way for 3 hours. I mean strep tests, breathing, chest x-rays, ears everything. I was so out of it I don't remember everything lol. But when it was all done and over with I was told I have... Bronchitus, Upper Respiratory Infection, Sinusitus, 2 Ear Infections and possible Strep :(. But now I'm on 5 prescriptions, so hopefully I will be better soon!

Below is one of the "breathing treatments" I must be on every 4 hours.

Still Sick :(

So this entire 4 day weekend has been a bust so far. I still have tomorrow, but it's not looking promising. Body aches, sore throat, non stop coughing, mucus everywhere, headaches, its just MISERABLE! I have had this since the beginning of the week and it still is here. And so far not going anywhere. Monday is back to work, so I really really hope I miraculously get better by then. This has been NO FUN whatsoever. No appetite, not wanting to do anything. Ugh.

I Hate Variables

I hate them. I hate when you think life is going some place. Some where certain, it takes a brutal unforeseen turn and you land in the crappiest most tortuous situation. It's not fair.

Going To See Kelly Clarkson TONIGHT!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! So much for sitting around doing nothing! A few minutes after I wrote my last post, the one below, saying I wasn't talking to anyone, I was isolating myself and just watching movies all day, well then I decided to go to Kelly's fansite and see what everyone was talking about and they were all saying how tonights gonna be awesome cuz its Kelly Clarkson's and Reba McEntire's last night together on the "2 Worlds, 2 Voices Tour"! Tonight is the end of the tour. And i was seeing all the people that were going and I was like... OMG! What the heck! Live a little! So I did it. I bought one ticket and am going by myself. I am leaving at 6PM to get there. The show starts at 8PM. Ahhhh! I'm so excited! Oh and I have been fighting non stop with someone and I have had more drama with other people but Im totally forgetting about that and getting all excited about tonight omg! :-D

UPDATE: Concert rocked.

My Snowy Yesterday, My Lazy Today

Ok so yesterday was technically the fourth day we have had snow this month. The first time I saw 2 flakes at night mixed in with rain, the second I never saw any but a lot of other people saw flurries. Our third snowfall this season was on Thursday and it came early in the morning when I was walking into work at around 6:55 AM. I saw about 15 flakes that time. And finally we come to yesterday. The "big" finale lol. It poured snow off and on all day. It was purrty! I loved it. Below is a picture... if you look you can see all of the white flakes in the air! And did I mention it is still friggin insanely COLLLD!


Now today, Saturday, I am making a lazy, do nothing day. I have been invited to things with people but I am cutting myself from the world today and sitting home and eating and watching movies all day. I'm just gonna pop one movie in after another. Curl up in a ball in my sweats and hoodie on the couch, cover up and enjoy the shows. All day. After I am done with this post, no more computer for me today :-D

UPDATE: See post above this.

It's Cold, It's Snowing, It's MISERABLE!

Yesterday it rained and it mixed and turned to some light snow at night. Today flurries off and on all day, it's frigid! Highs in the 30's lows in the 20's. The wind is howling, so the cold hurts and for the next week highs in the 30's and 40's and lows in the 20's, and of course a clipper coming through on Friday could bring us more light snow. All of this by the middle of November! I soooo want summer back. I'm cold :-(.

"Circus" Leaked!

OMG! Britney's new album has leaked! I'm listening to it now. OMG! I haven't gotten through the whole thing yet... but I can tell you what I have heard is AWESOME! "Blackout", her last album, is my fav album of all time. Will "Circus" take that title? I don't know yet. But it will def atleast be my #2... its that good :)

UPDATE: Ok so I have had a chance to listen to the whole album. First impression is that this is a solid album. Very good. There are definitely stand out songs. The best in no order are... "Womanizer", "Circus", "If U Seek Amy", "Shattered Glass" and "Mannequin". Those are some insanely hot tracks right there. However as a whole, I do not believe "Circus" is better than "Blackout". BUT... it is definitely good enough to come in as my 2nd favorite album.

Cracker Barrel; Cheap Cheap Gas!

Our new Cracker Barrel finally opened! I went today and yay it's really awesome! It was really crowded, but the food was awesome! I have always loved Cracker Barrel ever since I ate there for the first time in like 2001 when I went to work where the need is great in Kentucky. That was my first experience with the restaurant chain and I fell in love instantly lol. Tonight I got chicken n dumplins, corn, hasbrown casserole and mac n cheese and buttermilk biscuits. On a side note, there were a boatload of gay guys working there. And one who seems to be a manager kept introducing fellow coworkers to a guy he was with that he kept calling "his new husband". Interesting considering In 1991, Cracker Barrel instituted a policy requiring employees to display "normal heterosexual values which have been the foundation of families in our society." Workers were fired because they admitted or were assumed to be gay after the first few months that the policy was created. The company refused to change their policy in the face of protest demonstrations by gay rights groups. After 10 years of proposals by the New York City Employees Retirement System, a major shareholder, the company's shareholders voted 58% in 2002 in favor of rescinding the policy. The board of directors immediately added sexual orientation to the company's nondiscrimination policy. I guess they are trying to change their damaged image? It was pretty obvious lol. But all in all, good food, good service, GREAT location lol and awesome prices. :-)

Now as far as gas prices go... the go down, down, DOWN! Take a look at the line that formed outside one of our gas stations...

... the were tons of people lining up waiting to get gas. Why? Well because just last month as you have seen in previous posts, gas prices were well above $3 a gallon. What are they now? Take a look at the picture below to see! I took that picture as I was leaving Cracker Barrel tonight. And trust me... I wasn't the only one taking pictures of that awesome sight! Look below at the current gas prices here...

... isn't that insanely awesome! Finally something below $2 a gallon! Way below! I'm so excited! If the prices never go down and just stay where they are, I'd be happy... and I haven't said that in YEARS! Yay for the sucky economy! Lol.
