oh, that's right, another trip to the airport... :)
Current mood: happy
last night, i went to pick up my mom from the airport, but let's start with my trip to get coffee...
i was really craving some starbucks, so i figured that i would pick up my soy latte on the way to the airport. well, i went to the cafe in barnes-n-noble, and there were a few other people there, so i'm not sure if that was the problem or what, but the barista made a non-fat (skim milk) latte instead of a soy latte. this has happened a few times before, and when the drinks have been re-made, they've been pretty gross. however, i really wanted the latte, so when she announced it, i told her that it was supposed to be soy, and she looked at the cup, then said "you're right, you're right," then made a new one. however, the soy milk was so hot that the machine was making all of this noise, and i just knew that it wasn't going to be good. of course, it was so hot that i couldn't even take a sip at that point, so i just said "thank you" and left.
i drank a bit of the latte after i got onto the turnpike, and it was super hot and nasty. i tried it again after it had cooled a smidge, and it was still gross, so i just left it alone. i was pretty bummed since i had gotten a venti, thinking that it would be a delicious treat on the way to the airport :)
i got to newark around 9:40 p.m. and found out that my mom's plane was delayed 5 minutes, which was great, because it gave me time to get to the gate to wait for her. another flight came in, i think from miami, and people were hugging and smiling and such, and it was great to see.
around 10:00 p.m., more people started coming out, and then i saw my mom. i held up the sign that i had made for her, and she totally cracked up, bending over and everything, it was awesome. i said "so you're happy to be home, huh?" and she kissed her hand and put it down near the floor, like she was kissing the floor, and said "i don't know why he loves that Godforsaken country!" suffice it to say, my mom did not enjoy venezuela, lol.
we went to the baggage area, and i told her about my icky coffee and asked her if she might want it, and she said sure, so i told her that she could have it when we got to the car (i hadn't brought it in with me). there were a lot of people waiting for their bags, so we kind of stayed to the back and talked.
my mom said that she liked monica, my brother's now-wife, but the funny thing was how she said "monica." jeremy says it with a spanish take on it, and it sounds kind of like "moanika." of course, we say it like other people would around here, as "monica." well, my mom apparently thought that she could say it the spanish way, only she can't, so it ended up sounded like "monique-a." yeah. lol. my mom is too much! :) so i told her that she wasn't saying it right, and she said "i can say it that way, i'll say it how i want to say it." i told her that she was calling her by a completely different name and should just stick with "monica," lol.
there was some sort of problem with the baggage door on the plane, so it literally took until 11:30 p.m. for us to get her two bags of luggage. yeah. an hour and a half. nice.
when we left the airport, i thought we should take route 9, which meant that we had to go through elizabeth. normally, this would be fine, but they were doing some construction or something on one of the streets (yes, at 11:30 p.m., great timing), so there was a detour, and we got totally lost.
after driving around for 15 minutes, i called onstar for help. this is the second time that i've called them when i was lost, and again i was told that it wasn't part of my package and that i would have to upgrade if i needed directions. to be honest, the onstar is free for a year (it came with the car), and i have no idea what the purpose of it is, since i have to "upgrade" to just get directions. it's pretty silly. but anyway, the woman helped us get to the turnpike, and we made it to my mom's around 12:30 a.m., then i was home around 1:30 a.m. later than i expected, but not terrible, and i was really awake, so it was okay.
so how was my mom's trip? let's see...she had a turbulent flight there (i'm not sure which flight; she went from newark to san juan, then from san juan to caracas), which was also like 7 hours long, then a 5 hour car ride. she told the guy who came to pick her up at the airport, jack, that she had no bolivares (that's venezuelan money; it's completely worthless here, by the way-there's not even any exchange for it, it's so worthless), but he told her that they could exchange her american dollars in valencia. well, by the time they got to valencia, it was too late, so she had a problem with the guy at the hotel, because he wouldn't take dollars. and the hotel? there was some huge gate around it, with a guard who checked her identification before letting her in, and the windows had broken, jagged glass at the top, so that people wouldn't break in. nice.
as for the rest of her stay there...she was happy to see jeremy (my brother), and she really liked monica and her family, but she hated the country. she said that it's dirty (as in soap and water dirty), there are garbage bags everywhere, people drive like maniacs, and the most upsetting thing was that there were stray dogs all over the place. my mom was pretty upset about that. there aren't even any animal shelters.
she also does not know any spanish, so she wasn't able to communicate with most of the people there, except for jeremy and his friend eric, and monica's friend's sister, who apparently is going to college and is fluent in english. one day, they went to monica's family's house, and jeremy said that they would just be there for a little bit, but that turned into like 4 hours. i told my mom that it seems to be part of that culture, and while it used to bug jeremy when he first got there, he has apparently adapted to it.
one day, she went to the beach with jeremy, monica, eric and vanessa (eric's fiance), and they were all lovey-dovey with each other, so my mom felt really left out. totally understandable, and i felt bad for her.
another day, they were out somewhere, like some kind of festival with lights, and my mom fell. jeremy nicely said "you have to watch where you're going," which i think upset her a little.
i don't really know what the deal is with jeremy, but he had said that he was really tired from entertaining everyone and translating and making sure everyone was okay; um, it was 6 days. not even 6 days, since technically he didn't see everyone until saturday, and they left on wednesday morning. needless to say, i'm pretty disappointed in my brother.
so the moral of the story? well, let's just say that my icky coffee was totally cold by the time we got back to the car, which means that even if it was delicious, it would have been undrinkable...and since i was the one who originally was supposed to go to venezuela with my mom, then had a disagreement with my brother and ended up not going...
everything happens for a reason.

what a wonderful hockey treat! :)
Current mood: cheerful
i went to my mom's tonight to do laundry, and i was so pleasantly surprised to see that she gets a few hockey channels-i had no idea! :)
not only did i get to watch "inside the rangers," but i also watched the beginning of the rangers game. i decided to switch over to the devils game since i'm a bigger devils fan, but also because my favorite ranger, henrik lundquist, the goalie, was out due to the flu.
i was pretty excited, thinking that i can now watch hockey there whenever a game is on, but then i remembered that my mom would usually be home (she's still in venezuela right now), and she probably wouldn't go for the whole "let's watch hockey!" thing, lol. oh, well, i'm still going to try... :)

my poor mother! :(
Current mood: a little worried...
so i finally got my voicemail messages today from friday (let's just say i'm dumb and leave it at that, lol), and there was one from my mom and one from jeremy.
my mom sounded very, very tired and not very happy. she said that she doesn't understand "why jeremy is so in love with this country." she also said that maybe it was good that i didn't go, because the plane ride was very turbulent. it took 7 hours to get to caracas, and then she had a 5 hour car ride to get to the hotel.
ouch.
jeremy left a message a few hours later, saying that he wouldn't see my mom til the next day, since she was probably sleeping (it was almost 1:00 a.m. at this point).
i have a feeling that when i pick her up on wednesday night, she's going to be very thankful to be home again :)
on a happy note, here's part of my brother's e-mail to me today:
mom is ok, she´s having some difficulty understanding a bit of the culture, and we´ve had her running around a bit, from hotel to scott´s, now we´re at the beach, hopefully gonna relax tomorrow at the beach, she hasn´t said anything, though she was mad at the hotel guy, it turned out to be more than i thought, but she was just not understanding why they wouldn´t let her pay in $$...
...at the wedding...she is a trooper, stayed til almost 2am, wedanced to "mama" by boyz II men, good times...not tradition here,either, to dance with mom...
...we are sharing a room tonight, the 3 of us. she seems happy, laid back, practicing spanish...

a trip to the airport...with my mother... :)
Current mood: happy
i wish everyone could meet my mother at some point in their lives. she is absolutely, hands down, the kookiest sane person in the world. i know, it sounds like i'm exaggerating; but trust me, i'm totally not :)
here are a few examples: i answer the phone at work by saying "hi, this is debbie, can i help you?" and if it's my mom calling, she'll say "this is linda, and there's no help for me," or "this is linda, and you already know that there's no help for me." :) she answers her work phone by saying "vims (then our last name)," and i'll say "hello, vims." recently, she's replied with "just don't put that on my headstone." :)
kooky, right?? :) okay, it gets even better, lol. she likes to go to these weird things, like wedding reinactments and funeral reinactments; back in september 2004, she went to england/ireland/scotland/wales, and ever since, she thinks she's part irish (she's not). she likes to say "ireland" like "irrrrrreland." and yet she has it in her head that when she retires, she wants to move to oregon. has she ever been there? nope. does she know anyone there? nope.
so that's a bit of the background on my mom :)
she originally thought that she was going to drive herself to the airport at 2:00 a.m. and leave her car there, but i told her that i would take her. i have to say, i think it's great that my mom hasn't had any accidents (she's been in a few, but she wasn't driving), but she is a very scary person to be in the car with, even at 8:00 p.m., so i didn't want her on the road at 2:00 a.m. she did this thing one night when we were going out to dinner where she was in the right lane on route 9, and a car pulled out of a parking lot, onto the shoulder, and she literally hit her brakes, because she "didn't know where they were going." and by hitting her brakes, i don't mean that she slowed down; i mean that she literally stopped. i think she's getting worse as she gets older, which tends to happen.
anyway. it was really, really foggy on friday morning, so i'm glad that i went to get her; there was no way that i wanted her driving in the fog. i left my place at 1:30 a.m., wearing regular clothes, but with the addition of my pink disney princesses hat. don't get me started on how much i love disney princesses! :) actually, my favorite is cinderella :) when my ex and i went to see "princesses on ice" last october, he bought me the hat, and this is the first time i've actually worn it out.
i was feeling pretty good, i was really awake, plus i had the music going, and when i got off of 195, i started playing some notorious b.i.g. actually, my favorite, favorite song is the one with him and bone-thugs-and-harmony, i don't know the name of it, but it goes "it's bone and biggy biggy, it's bone and biggy biggy," etc. i always feel really tough when i play it, lol. well, i got to a light, and was turning, and this guy in his car looked my way (probably just wondering why anyone else was on the road at that hour; it wasn't like it was a friday night or something), and i looked over, then kept driving, and i just started cracking up. here i was, listening to b.i.g., feeling all gangsta, in my saturn, wearing my disney princesses hat, lol. so, so gangsta, i really am! :)
i got to my mom's around 2:30 a.m., and she was all ready to go, had all of her bags packed and at the door, so we loaded the car and were off.
i asked her if she was cold, because i didn't have the heat on, and she said that she was warm and asked if i could put her window down a bit. i think she was having a mini panic attack or something, because she was in this light long-sleeved shirt, but was really warm. plus, she wasn't breathing properly. she was really nervous. i was trying to tell her about things that had gone on at work, etc., and it was like she wasn't even listening. i finally tapped her on the arm and said "mom, you have to calm down."
apparently, my brother's friend had been over the night before, to give my mom a card and money for jeremy, and she was warning my mom about caracas, which is where the airport is in venezuela. her family is from venezuela (actually, jeremy "dated" her cousin here and there since moving to venezuela), so she is familiar with what goes on. well, she basically scared my mom so much that she couldn't calm down. she told her to hide her money all over herself (like in her socks and her bra, etc.), and said that people might come up to my mom and ask her if she wants help with her bags, and my mom should just tell them "no." she also said that there will be people at the airport with guns, you know, armed men, and my mom should be prepared for that.
nice.
my mom and i got to the airport around 3:20 a.m. for those of you who travel, this is a bit early to be at the airport. my mom's flight was at 6:25 a.m., so she wanted to be nice and early (especially because it was an international flight), but the ticket counter didn't open until 4:00 a.m., so we basically just stood around and waited. on the way into the airport, i asked her where she got her ugly pocketbook, and she said that it was from my grandmother, "for good luck." the thing was hideous, i am not even kidding. i also don't believe in luck, but if it helped to make my mom feel better, i was all for it.
while we waited, my mom worried about her luggage, and whether her bags were going to be too heavy. i read her the sign about baggage weight, and when you may have to pay extra, but then she wandered over to look at the sign, anyway. can we say distracted? lol.
one of the best moments was when we were waiting, before the ticket counter opened, and a woman came over and said that anyone flying through miami should go in line 1, and all others should go in line 2. well, my mom, who was flying through puerto rico to caracas, took off in a fast walk towards the woman. i knew she was going to ask her what line she belonged in. i yelled "mom!" and motioned for her to come back. she had this look on her face that she gets a lot, which is like a combination of wonder and confusion. i said "mom, you are not flying through miami, you know that, so we need to go in line 2." she just said "okay, okay," and we moved. she really wasn't talking much, so i think she was getting even more nervous.
while we waited in line 2, we saw one guy at the counter who started emptying this huge suitcase. we figured that he was over the weight limit, because he started putting clothes into a plastic bag, probably his carry-on. at another spot at the counter, four guys in hunting outfits were checking their things...which included guns. not just guns, actually; rifles. yeah. i was completely disgusted. i gave them dirty looks and said that they were sick, but i don't think they heard me. they were obviously here to hunt and kill poor animals. sick bastards. i told my mom that if she sat next to them on the plane, she should tell them that her daughter is a vegan and she thinks that hunting is disgusting. she said that she didn't think they would be in first class, lol.
then my mom and i got up to the counter, and the guy was really nice. he told us that since my mom was flying business class, we didn't have to wait in line. can you belive it? you can tell that this was the first time she's ever flown business class (thanks to jeremy's friend, who bought the tickets for her). he told my mom that on the way back, she can just go to the business class line, so she doesn't have to wait, and she said, all serious, "okay. i'll try to remember that." i tapped her on the arm and said "mom! you need to calm down." i told the guy that she was nervous, and she said the same thing. he told her not to be nervous, but i'm sure she was thinking about being on the plane by herself, then having to change planes in puerto rico by herself, then getting to the airport in caracas by herself, where she may see people with guns. not exactly comforting, you know?
after that, we wandered around the airport until 5:00 a.m., then she went to get through security, and i waved her off, then left.
i have to say, every single time i go to the airport, even though there have been some sad times, i really do enjoy it. of course, if i had to get on a plane, i might feel differently... :)

How Hilary Swank Survived Divorce
FRIDAY DECEMBER 15, 2006 07:30 PM EST
When Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe revealed they were divorcing in May, most fans figured the double Oscar-winner had gotten too famous for her lower-profile husband. "Absolutely not," Swank, 32, says in a new interview. "Millions of men and women fall in love, get married, then get divorced," she says in the January issue of Reader's Digest. "If what happened to me helps someone realize they're in a great relationship and to hold the person closer, then do it. If it makes someone realize they're in an unhealthy relationship that is making them both unhappy, then it's not the end of the world." So how did Swank survive the split? "You rely on your friends when you go through something so big," she says. "My friends are my family."

today is...
Current mood: thoughtful
my nephew's 10th birthday!!!! :) can you believe it?? okay, if you don't know my nephew (or me, really, for that matter), then you can believe it; but if you do know him, aren't you shocked?? :)
here's the little story about my nephew: my one brother (i have two), eric, and his girlfriend at the time, jessy, had my nephew back on december 12th, 1996 (obviously, lol). at the time, i was pretty angry about the whole situation; i had just turned 16 two months earlier, and my mom had basically told me that a lot of her time was going to be taken up by my nephew, her grandson, once he was born. this, along with the fact that my brother was 21 at the time, did not sit well with me. i didn't go see jessy at the hospital, and i pretty much stayed away from all three of them when we were home together (that's the other thing-jessy had moved in with us several months earlier).
well, within a few weeks, my mom started to push gage into my arms to hold him, then to feed him, and sure enough, he totally grew on me, and i loved him to bits :)
i would take gage for walks around the block after work, then to the park once i started driving, and i loved spending time with him :)
however, things happened with jessy and eric, and they broke up, so jessy moved out and took gage with her. he would still come over all the time, especially on weekends, and it was always great to see him :)
then i moved out, with my now ex, just a little before i turned 22, and that's pretty much where my relationship with gage totally changed. he was 5 at the time, and because i stopped seeing him so much, from that point on, we just weren't close anymore. it's a shame.
but i still love him, and i can't believe that he's actually 10 years old today...time definitely flies, doesn't it?...

wow...
Current mood: kind of weirded out, but totally happy
so i went to target today to buy "pirates of the caribbean 2" for my brother, for my mom to take with her to venezuela, and i was passing the card section and stopped to get a "congratulations" card, and that's when it hit me...my brother is actually getting married, in a week and two days.
isn't that crazy??
it's like boggling my mind right now. i looked through several cards, found a cute one, then picked up the movie, and just thought about how things are totally going to change soon.
it's very weird.
my brother is 29, and i guess i just pictured him being a bachelor for a few more years, but he seems happy, so i'm happy for him.
but it's still weird :)
so yes, that's my big present for him, a movie, lol. money is super tight, but he LOVES those movies, so i know he'll be really excited about it. i'm also copying some cds for him, so at least he'll have some good (current) music to listen to as well :)
i still can't believe he's getting married...

this is really sick...
Current mood: grossed out! :)
brace yourselves, this is pretty gross...
a few years ago, i noticed that my feet looked a little differently than other people's feet, specifically my friend heather's feet, and i thought that i was normal and she was weird.
well, as usual, i'm the weird one :)
it turns out that i have these bunions on both feet, they're very prominent, and they've actually physically rubbed holes into several pairs of shoes. pretty embarrassing.
up until this point, i've just dealt with them, no big deal, but for the past week or so, the one on my right foot has become really painful, especially at night, and has even woken me up several times.
so today i went to the podiatrist.
it turns out that i have bunions, bunionettes (located near my pinky toes), hammertoe, and flat feet. i also have super-tight achilles tendons, like some of the tightest she's seen, and this is actually a really bad thing, because the tightness causes the flat foot, which then causes the bunions, bunionettes and hammertoe.
gross!
i have to go for x-rays, then see her again to review the films and discuss my options...which really means, discuss which surgery might be appropriate.
ouch! :(
i'm happy that i went, but i will be super frightened if i have to get surgery...although that seems to be inevitable, since she said that these problems don't get any better. in fact, even with surgery on the bunions, i would still probably have to wear some sort of lift thingy for my flat feet, because otherwise, i would just get the bunions all over again (there is surgery for the achilles tendon, but there is no way i'm getting that done!).

on the other hand...
Current mood: okay
sometimes it's nice to talk with people randomly...
i had an awful day at work on thursday (i literally left at 3:00 p.m., in tears, and came home), and stayed home on friday. when i went online later in the day, i ended up getting a huge self-esteem boost and felt a lot better, because someone i haven't talked with in a while randomly im'd me and we had a nice conversation.
thanks, george! :)

Willa Ford Engaged to Hockey Player Beau
FRIDAY DECEMBER 01, 2006 01:45PM EST
By Stephen M. Silverman
Former Dancing with the Stars contestant Willa Ford and hockey player Mike Modano are engaged to be married. "Look, I'm engaged," Ford told Extra at the Arby's Action Sports Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday where she showed off a sparkler. In November, amid reports that she and her Dancing partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy were an item, the Florida native and self-professed "bad girl of pop" told PEOPLE of Modano, who is a center for the Dallas Stars: "Mike and I have been off and on for four and a half years. We kept (it) out of the press as much as possible." As for her relationship with Chmerkovskiy, Ford told PEOPLE: "Maks and I were like fire, and there was a lot of passion in our dancing." Of her engagement she told Extra: "Everybody thought it was going to be Max. Max is a great friend."

does this happen to you?
someone who you don't even talk to, who clearly reads your away notes, instant messages you in response to whatever your away notes say...
bizarre.
don't people have better things to do than read my away notes? especially people who i don't even talk with on a regular basis?

old school
Current mood: good
my friend heather is home from boston for thanksgiving, and i went over her house last night, got there around 9:30 p.m., we talked, went to starbucks for an hour, came back, talked some more...yeah, we didn't go to sleep until 5:30 a.m., then were awake by 10:00 a.m.
how awesome is that? lol. okay, it's totally corny, i know, but i'm totally corny, so it's fine :) i just love it, it's so old school, having a sleepover, staying up late, talking about boys, etc. it's the kind of thing that, in a few years, won't really be happening anymore, unfortunately, because of people getting married, having children, etc. it also just felt really good to catch up, since i haven't seen her since march.

today
Current mood: sad
i was driving back to work on my lunch break, and the song "heaven" came on the radio. in case you haven't heard this version, it's a re-make of the brian adams song, and it's done by a girl, dj sammy (maybe it's a group, i have no idea, but it's a girl who sings), and she actually does two versions of it, one fast and one slow. well, this was the slow one, and it made me so sad, i started to cry.
i felt sad throughout the rest of the day, and got pretty emotional at one point, while on the phone with my mom (still at work), and again tonight, while i was at my mom's doing laundry and talking with her...
have you ever cried in such a way that you gave yourself a really intense headache? that's how i feel right now. and the weird thing is, i didn't cry all that much, just a bit earlier today and then again tonight, but i definitely have a big headache now...i think it's time for bed.

Grey's Anatomy's Ellen Pompeo Is Engaged
MONDAY NOVEMBER 13, 2006 12:40PM EST
By Stephen M. Silverman with Elizabeth Leonard
Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and her boyfriend, record producer Chris Ivery, are engaged, PEOPLE has confirmed. Ivery proposed to Pompeo on Friday, her 37th birthday, after breakfast at home. "She was surprised and thrilled," the actress's rep tells PEOPLE. Ivery presented Pompeo with a 3.5-carat emerald-cut diamond in a platinum setting from jewelry designer Tacori. Pompeo and Ivery, 37, both Boston-area natives, grew up minutes away from each other, but didn't meet until pals introduced them in Los Angeles in 2003. They didn't start dating right away. "We were friends for six months; then one night she just looked different to me," Ivery told PEOPLE in October. Their relationship is laid-back. "We had a great day yesterday," Pompeo told PEOPLE. "We walked on the beach, then we came home, took a shower and went out for sushi. Then we laid on the couch with the dogs and watched TV."
Pompeo added, "We were six degrees our whole lives, so I feel like we were sort of meant to be. We'll get married eventually, secretly." According to Pompeo's rep, no wedding date has been set.

church! :)
Current mood: good
my mom and i FINALLY went to church this morning. are you confused? okay, here's the background:
when i was a teenager, i kind of stopped believing in God. to be honest, i'm not sure what i really believed in; my family stopped going to church when i was younger, and i stopped going to ccd classes because i was so shy, so i never made my first communion or whatever it's called.
anyway, due to some things that happened in my personal life, i started to really believe in God, and changed my attitude from "whatever happens, happens" to "everything happens for a reason." i went to church again with my now ex-boyfriend, only a few times, because he hated going, but i really enjoyed it. i also went to one of my brother's friend's gatherings, which was in a park, very relaxed, and fun.
fast forward to september (2006), when i started asking my mom to go to church with me. she kind of put me off at first, saying that she didn't want to get up early, then saying that she didn't feel well, etc., until she talked with my aunt recently and she suggested going to a unitarian church. my mom grew up going to catholic schools (nuns and all), so she really wasn't down with going to a roman catholic church. i'm up for anything, so i agreed to go with her to the unitarian church this morning.
my mom totally enjoyed it; i think the best part was that they really accept all people and all backgrounds, and don't judge anyone. there was a big banner out front about gay marriage, and the focus of the service today was the environment and caring for the earth. it was totally great for a tree-hugger like me :)
oh, and another great part of the morning? when this woman came over to talk with us, and asked me "so are you in 8th or 9th grade?" yep. no kidding.

animal cruelty :(
Current mood: disappointed in my stupidity :(
i found out on monday that my wonderful, lovely pink puffy jacket (as i call it) actually has feathers in it...no joke...i've had the coat for 2 years and never knew, how sick is that?? :(
in case you guys don't know, i'm totally vegan, which means that feathers are a big no-no...and i'm really surprised that i didn't read the label on my jacket more carefully to see that it had feathers in it; it's like the cardinal rule of veganism to read labels, and i've been vegan since i was 17, so this is by no means new to me...
so the pink puffy jacket is going to be donated to the salvation army or whoever...which means that i don't have a winter jacket now...which makes me sad :(

chris daughtry!!!! :)
Current mood: so excited!!!! :)
oh my gosh, i totally deleted my last myspace profile, but if any of you read my blogs on there, you would know how infatuated i am with chris daughtry...
the background on this is that my ex-boyfriend and i watched the last season of "american idol," and oh my goodness, chris daughtry was sexy and amazing, and i was really, really hoping that he would win. he didn't, but don't fret, because he has his own album coming out in november!! :)
i heard his first single yesterday after work, and i was thinking, this is weird, i totally recognize this voice...and then i realized that it was chris daughtry!!!! :) he sounds amazing-and sexy-of course :)
i am SO excited, can you tell?? :)

let's break it down now!
Current mood: silly
so my friend heather e-mailed me around 4:00 p.m. today to tell me that britney spears and kevin federline are getting divorced (she knows that i LOVE relationships-that's why i'm going to be a marriage counselor/couples therapist-especially celebrities, i don't know why, but i do), and of course, it was no shocker, but can i just say that i've thought, pretty much from the beginning, that they had some sort of arrangement going...like she really wanted kids, right? so she makes him a deal, that if he gives her a couple of babies, she'll get him a record contract. did anyone notice how she had her second baby like right after the first one? and now k-fed has his music career going along, which means that they both got what they wanted...and now it's over.
i don't think anyone is going to be crying over this one...but it will be so interesting to see if k-fed gets back together with his ex-girlfriend (and mother of his other two kids), won't it? then it would be kind of like "indecent proposal" ;)

"all at once"-i LOVE this song...
Current mood: thoughtful
"there are certain people
you just keep coming back to
she is right in front of you
you begin to wonder
could you find a better one
compared to her
now she's in question
and all at once, the crowd begins to sing
sometimes the hardest thing
and the right thing
are the same
maybe you want her
maybe you need her
maybe you started to compare
to someone not there
looking for the right one
you line up the world to find
where no questions cross your mind
but she won't keep on waiting
for you without a doubt
much longer for you to sort it out
and all at once, the crowd begins to sing
sometimes the hardest thing
and the right thing
are the same
maybe you want her
maybe you need her
maybe you started to compare
to someone not there
maybe you want it
maybe you need it
maybe it's all you're running from
perfection will not come
and all at once, the crowd begins to sing
sometimes
we'd never know what's wrong without the pain
sometimes the hardest thing
and the right thing
are the same
maybe you want her
maybe you need her
maybe you started to compare
to someone not there
maybe you want it
maybe you need it
maybe it's all you're running from
perfection will not come
maybe you want her
maybe you need her
maybe you had her
maybe you lost her
to another
to another"

Current mood: super sleepies :)
Top 10 Reasons Why Men Won't Get Married
Young men want to get married. They really do. They want a wife, children and the house with the picket fence. They just don't want it right now. Instead, men ages 25 to 33 prefer to have fun, unencumbered by commitment and responsibility.That's the word from a new study called "The State of Our Unions" that concludes that young, educated, professional men don't want to commit to marriage, reports Ladies Home Journal. They place great value in the institution of marriage, but the single life beckons. Since today's men -- unlike their fathers and grandfathers -- don't have pressure from church, employers or society to get married, they aren't.
The researchers interviewed 60 heterosexual men in Chicago, parts of New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and Houston. For the most part they were employed full-time and earned between $21,000 to $35,000 annually. Most had either attended some college or graduated. None of them were married, although three of the men were fathers.The top 10 reasons young men don't want to get married now:1. They can have casual sex without marriage, something that is far more common today and accepted than in generations past.2. By living with a girlfriend, they can enjoy all the benefits of a wife without having to say, "I do." This is a no-risk way to test the idea of marriage.3. Men want to avoid the financial risks of divorce. What better way to do that than to not get married in the first place?4. Since they don't have to worry about their biological clocks, men say they want to wait until they are older to have children. They really do not want to be pressured into marriage by a woman whose primary goal is to have kids.
5. Their greatest fear is that marriage will require too many changes, compromises and responsibilities. After all, it's a lot more fun to play poker with the boys all night long.6. Men are romantics at heart. They believe in a soul mate, and they're willing to wait for her. What is a soul mate? Men define her as someone who accepts them just the way they are and does not want to change them. These men don't want to settle for second-best.7. There are very few social pressures to marry. While their dads were pressured by religion, employers or society to settle down and say "I do," men today are free from that.8. Men are reluctant to marry a woman who already has children, primarily to avoid competition and conflict with the children's biological father.9. They want to become a homeowner before they become a husband. Being established financially is an important goal many men want to achieve before they marry.10. Men want to enjoy the single life as long as possible, especially as they become accustomed to having their own space and routines and not being responsible to anyone else.

fate
Current mood: happy
so this is a perfect example of fate...and i am a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE believer in fate...
i was coming home from work last night (the part-time job), and i knew that rain (my kitty cat) was super hungry, because i ran out of both wet food and dry food for her on saturday night, so she went without food all day (i tried to give her a piece of my luna bar, but she wasn't having it), and that meant that i had to either stop at the grocery store, or come home to her meowing for the rest of the night. obviously, i chose the grocery store :)
okay, so for any of you who know me, you know that i tend to get lost, but always find my way...well, this includes bordentown and the surrounding area, since i haven't really gone exploring at all since moving here in june, and i have no idea where anything really is. okay, so of course, while trying to find this acme that i've never been to, i got lost, and was driving around for 15 minutes, just totally lost in the middle of town, listening to sarah mclachlan and singing as loudly as possible (windows were up, thank you! lol), and let me just say, this isn't a very big town, so to drive for 15 minutes and still be lost was quite remarkable :) anyway, i finally found this main street, the name was totally familiar, and i just drove and drove until i came out to the main road...where acme was! :) woo hoo! :)
i went inside, got rain's food, went on my merry little way home...and when i got into my parking lot, there was a deer peeking out of the woods. no joke. i stopped the car and stared, thinking that i should grab my video camera (it's still in my car from my cousin's birthday party a few weeks ago; it takes a long time for things to leave my car, lol) but not knowing where the battery was, so i just sat there, watching these beautiful creatures. the first one came out, and then another, and then another, and they all walked across the parking lot to this wooded area, they were so, so beautiful, and i was just amazed. i absolutely love deer; if i ever win the lottery, i want to get a farm somewhere and put as many animals there as possible. but anyway :) it was a wonderful sight, and it was totally fate...because if i hadn't gotten lost, i wouldn't have gotten home at that time, and wouldn't have seen the deer.
it's just one of those little things that puts a smile on my face :)

this past friday...
Current mood: scared
i picked up little c (my 17 year old cousin), and we went driving around...and got slightly lost, but that's okay, we found our way (always do! lol), and then we did a little shopping...at victoria's secret. i have to say that this is the first time he's actually agreed to go in there with me, and while it was a little iffy (let's be serious, i was buying underwear here), we did all right :)
then we decided to go to the movies. normally, this would be fine, but he wanted to see "texas chainsaw massacre" (the prequel thing), and while i was thinking that it wasn't such a great idea (for me), i figured that i could just close my eyes through any icky parts.
yeah. did that work? nope, not at all :)
i closed my eyes AND covered them with my hands (i'm a big, big baby), and because i heard the sounds of everything happening, i ended up being completely freaked out, especially when we walked through the dark, empty parking lot. nice. at least there was a police officer patrolling around(which i took as a good sign, but i guess you can look at it as a bad sign as well, huh?).
when we went back to little c's house, we talked in the car for a bit, which we tend to do, but i left the car running, and still had my foot on the brake, even though about 40 minutes had gone by. in hindsight, i'm glad that i did, because it was now after midnight, and some guy came walking up to my side of the car. yeah. i was pretty frightened. he asked me to put my window down, which i did (a crack), and then he asked for money to "buy a calling card, i really need money, i have important calls to make, i have to call social security." i am not even kidding, he said that!! lol.
i told him that i don't carry cash on me (true, because i'm broke all the time), and then he asked "what about him?," meaning my cousin, and i said "he's only 16" and he said "oh, i'm sorry, i didn't realize you guys were so young." then he walked away. whew!
my heart was totally racing, but little c was fine, he said that kind of stuff happens all the time, people just walk by and ask for money. i'm sorry, maybe it's just me, but this kind of thing shouldn't happen all the time...and it was really scary!
but at least being 26 and looking like a teenager came in handy :)

so last night...
Current mood: grossed out!
it was around 11:00 p.m., and i was trying to go to sleep, when i heard the neighbors moving around upstairs...and then i heard some creaking...and some giggling...and some shaking...and some more creaking...
yes, that's right. i HEARD them. doing exactly what you think they were doing.
GROSS.
it actually got worse, believe it or not...i heard the bed (you know what i'm saying), and then i heard HER and then i heard the bed again, and then i heard HIM...
oh. my. goodness.
so i'm thoroughly disgusted, but since this was the only time i've HEARD them, i'm hoping that it won't be something that i hear again...although someone suggested that i buy some earplugs, just in case. good idea! :)
SO GROSS!

so scary!!!!
Current mood: frightened!! :)
okay, so last night was my cousin chris' birthday party, which involved a delightful trip to "terror behind the walls"...
let's just say that i really, really don't like these places, but my cousin loves them, so i go along. in 2003, we went to hamilton hauntings...in 2004, we went to hamilton hauntings (in a small group) and also valley of fear...and this year, it was this "terror behind the walls" place. this was the first year where i didn't have a boyfriend to bring, but my (new) friend shane nicely came along for protection-although i think chris' friends protected me more, since i kept running and hiding behind them :)
okay, so here's the thing: i get very, very scared. i don't know if i think the people are going to kill me or what, but even though i know that they are just people dressed up and wearing makeup, they frighten me. while we were waiting in the line, the scary people came up to us, and i screamed. some moss guy who was next to the building came over to us, and i screamed. some girl came over and sang next to me, and i screamed. get the picture? :) lots and lots of screaming :)
so we go inside a little after 10:00 p.m., and it was really scary to me, although my cousin wasn't really scared (for the first time at one of these places; he's usually screaming right along with me), and neither was anyone else. the scariest part was when we had to walk through a building that was completely pitch black, and bumped into a couple of the scary people (i screamed, of course).
it was frightening!!!! :)
so i highly recommend going, although, if you're not easily scared, you may be like everyone else with us last night, and kind of just go with the flow, instead of getting the bejesus scared out of you and screaming the entire night :)

just sharing :)
Current mood: worried
this isn't going to be super exciting, but i just wanted to share that i got a part-time job at bath & body works, which is officially my first retail job as well as my first part-time/second job. kind of funny that at almost 26, i have to get a second job, but whatever, i'm sucking it up and doing it! :)
so i went for training on friday night from 6-8:45 p.m., and i had to sit on a metal chair and watch videos with 2 other girls, and by the end, my butt was cold and i really couldn't feel anything, lol. but then we were shown around the store, which was really cold, by the way, but at least i was up and moving :)
this is the first time that i'm actually a little worried about my job...like i've worked in law offices since i was 16 1/2 and have been totally fine, but this whole retail thing frightens me! the videos showed how you have to kind of be pushy by trying to get people to buy more products, which isn't me, and they also showed how to give hand demonstrations on people, which sooo isn't me. for those of you who don't know, i have some ocd going on, and i have no desire to touch strangers!! but again, i'm sucking it up and doing it.
i officially start this week, so i'll let you guys know (for anyone who cares, lol) how it goes...scary! :)

so confused! :)
Current mood: confused
is it just me, or is turning 26 like the pivotal point where you start to forget people's names????
i'm looking through the ocean township people, you know, the ones who graduated in 1998, at the same time as me...and i literally saw someone's profile-jdicondina or something?-and i have absolutely no clue who that person is. clearly, he was not in my lovely little group of friends (haha), but still...then i saw karen's picture, and i looked at her profile, which is quite nice, i remember she always had short hair and now it's long and she looks really pretty...but i cannot remember her last name for anything...
so is it just me, or are you guys experiencing this as well??
i'm so turning into my mother, who can't remember the names of people she just met, but she'll rattle off the first AND last names of people she worked with at arthur's in 1986. nice.
:)

what's up with people today?
Current mood: weirded out
i have a couple of things to say about the drivers i encountered today...so here goes:
i'm driving through freehold, through the center of town, and an ambulance is coming up behind me, several cars back. so what are you supposed to do when an ambulance comes driving by, lights flashing, sirens wailing? pull over to the side of the road, right? apparently not, according to some selfish people. so the car 2 cars in front of me pulls over, but the car in between us just drives around him/her, and keeps going. nice. then i pull over, and the car behind me sort of pulls over, but after the ambulance goes by, they pull out and go right next to me and then pass me as i'm pulling out. nice again. then the poor person in the first car is kind of waiting, so i let him go. what is with these people?
then i come up to a light a few minutes later, and there are 2 lanes of traffic, i don't think there was anyone next to me, i'm in the left lane, speeding along nicely, when a car on the other side turns left right in front of me. i literally said "Jesus Christ!" and then felt horrible and apologized to God for saying it.
but again, i'm asking you, what is with people? i don't get it. where does everyone think they're rushing off to? the mall? give me a break.

guess who's going to venezuela?!?!?! :)
Current mood: excited
so it's almost official: i'm going to venezuela!!!! :)
my mom still doesn't know that my brother's friend is flying her to venezuela for the wedding, so i can't really talk with her about it, but jeremy (my brother) said that he will help pay for my flight (he's probably going to pay for almost the whole thing), and i just have to get my passport (and some valium or other drug)!!!! :)
so i'm super excited, and jeremy is excited, and my mom will be really happy once she finds out about the surprise. this is a HUGE deal because i do not fly. period. i've only been to places by car and train, because i don't like heights and i don't like not being in control for such a long period of time (it's sort of why i also don't like roller coasters, but i've gotten the guts to go on a few of those recently). so this is going to be a really big first flight, being that i'm going to a gorgeous country (4-5 hours away) and that i'm going for my brother's wedding.
isn't this awesome?!?! :)

it's saturday... :)
Current mood: cheerful
it's 4:00 p.m. on a saturday afternoon, and my exciting day has consisted of cleaning, cleaning, and talking with my brother :) i know, i know! you're so jealous ;)
if i had a choice (i.e., if i had any amount of money to do anything with), i'd probably be out at the philadelphia museum of art today. it's one of my favorite places, and with this whole "the rocky statue is back" thing going on, i defintely want to go back soon to check it out :)
don't get me wrong, though, i like cleaning, and i especially like talking with my brother :) for those of you who don't know, i have 2 brothers, eric and jeremy, and jeremy is one of my best friends and he lives in venezuela. i haven't talked on the phone with him since he went back there in august, almost a month ago (although we do e-mail all the time), so this was really a happy occasion :)
the kind of stinky news for him, but good news for me, is that his wedding, which he had originally planned for december 16th, is going to be pushed back a few months. this is good news for me because, although i don't fly, it would be awesome if i could try to get the courage up to fly there for his wedding. i told him that if he pushes it back to may, then there's a chance i can go :) why may? because, unlike every other job in america, working for the hartford means that i don't get a bonus in december (you know, in time to buy presents, which is what i've always done); oh, no, i get my bonus in april. yep. as a little sidenote, i also get a raise in january, but it doesn't kick in until april. does this make sense? no, i didn't think so, but that's the way it is :)
so anyway, he's thinking february, which really doesn't help me at all, but get this! his friend, this guy who has helped him work over there and helps with his finances and such, offered, as a wedding present, to fly our mom over there for the wedding! :) so jeremy said that since he's doing that, maybe my mom and jeremy can try to help me get money together for a ticket so that i can go as well :) so now i just have to start working on getting money together for a passport :)
which leads me to my next activity for today, which is looking for a part-time job. i know, i know, you're jealous again! :) i start school at night again in january, so i'm just looking for something to last me through then. cross your fingers! :) if i can get a part-time job, not only will i be able to get a passport, but i'll actually be able to afford going out with my friends on the weekend! :) so it will be fun times for all :)
have an awesome day! :)

so i was all worried about those critters...
Current mood: confused
the critters were incredibly noisy last night, they actually sounded like they were not only thrashing against the wall, but crawling over my bedroom ceiling as well, and i got a little scared, so i decided to call the management office today.
guess what happened? nothing. the woman who runs the office, who is older, very nice, and has been here for a while, was not concerned at all about the critters behind my wall. she said that they're probably squirrels, which is what i had originally thought, but i still thought that they should be taken out of there. nope, she said that they were probably making a lot of noise because they were trying to find their way out, and again, didn't seem to care.
i asked if someone could come and look outside to find out if they see anything, and i also said that i don't want anyone in my apartment when i'm not here. she told me that they may have to come inside to find out where the noises are coming from; i explained that the animals only come out at night, and said that i could call when i hear the noises, but she said "oh, no, that's not an emergency." i also said that i thought it might be a raccoon, to which she replied "oh, no, i don't think it's a raccoon" (like i'm nuts). i told her that i'm afraid that whatever it is might eat through the wall, and she basically thought i was completely bonkers.
so that's that! the critters are making noise again tonight, and if they burst through the wall, i'm going to scream like a madwoman, grab rain (my cat), and go out in my car...and call management, because i'm hoping that they would consider that an emergency :)

critters update! :)
Current mood: dorky
i know you've all been wondering what happened with the critters... :)
okay, so they were silent for quite a while after i wrote that first blog entry about them, but then they started making noise again last week. someone told me that i should tell the landlord because they may eat through the walls, and if they have diseases, that's not only bad for me, but bad for my kitty cat, rain (especially if they should eat through the wall while i'm at work).
i didn't call the landlord, because i'm afraid that they will try to kill the critters, and i can't be a part of that, so i haven't done anything, but, although i did hear them scrambling around this past thursday night (before the storm), i haven't heard them since, so i'm hoping that maybe they decided to leave...i certainly hope they did :)

about that....
Current mood: thankful
if you've read my prior blog entries, you might be asking yourself why on earth i would post those nasty things from my ex-boyfriend, so i'm going to tell you why :)
i broke up with him at the end of april, but we decided to "work on things." i thought it would be a good idea if i moved out of his apartment, to give us some space (i moved in with him within the first month we were dating, which was, at that point, a year and 7 months), and we still talked and spent time together, and tried "working on things."
here's the thing: if you really need to "work on things" that badly, you shouldn't be in that relationship anymore. i know that now.
if any of you saw my prior profile on here, you may have also seen the blog i posted in the middle of june when i found out that he was not only talking to other girls behind my back (on myspace and who knows what else), but looking at online fetish porn-again. i had discovered the porn last summer, when we "broke up" (for the hundredth time) and i partially moved out, then moved back in, and found pictures on his computer of naked girls peeing. pretty sick, right? right. what's even more sick? that i stayed with him.
we had a lot of problems in our relationship, pretty much from day one-miscommunication, me grieving over my serious ex-boyfriend, him taking his anger from all of his past rejection and pain out on me, etc. there was so much fighting, and i kept telling him that i wasn't used to that-i don't like to fight, trust me, but i also don't back down, i'm too strong and stubborn to :) other problems included him not wanting to talk about anything that happened in his past-"we need to focus on us"-in case you don't already know this, talking about things that happened in your past is a good thing, especially if, like him, you have a lot of unresolved issues. your past is a part of you and has helped shape who you are today, good or bad, better or worse. he also disrespected me in public, didn't want me having fun and talking with his friends, and flirted with and made gross comments to other girls.
so why was i with him? good question! :) we also had some amazingly good times, we had a lot in common, we were both really dorky and uncool :) and were super comfortable with each other. we also really liked each other's families and loved doing corny things, like going to museums and aquariums and things like that.
however.
what i've learned since we officially broke up-after we spent his birthday together and then, a few days later, he said he needed "time to himself" (via e-mail, no less, he's such a coward), so i asked him if he was talking to other girls, and he finally admitted that he was, which was a shock, even though it was only a week earlier that i found out he was talking to other girls on myspace (yes, i am dumb sometimes)-is that i really thought i could change him. i thought that, because i knew there were all of these good qualities in him, he could be this awesome boyfriend for me. i thought that i could help him resolve his anger, so he wouldn't yell at me, and we wouldn't fight so much, and he could get help for the fetish (which he admitted, last summer when i found it, that it is actually a sexual addiction, because he has a serious problem with it), and he wouldn't disrespect me and we could have a great, happy life together.
here's what i've learned: you can't save anyone else, you can only save yourself.
i haven't seen him in 2 months (although he contacted me once a week throughout the beginning of august), and i'm so much better off. was i upset in the beginning? of course, for about 3 weeks, i was very upset. my friends and my brother (home from venezuela) gave me so much support, which was awesome. my brother is like my best friend, and he tells it like it is-my ex was definitely not right for me, i should have broken up with him a year ago, he isn't going to change, etc. he said that maybe my ex was in my life to help me move on from my serious ex-boyfriend, and that's a very valid point, because it took me a l-o-n-g time (2+ years) to finally move on from that situation (we aren't going to discuss that one, though), and now i have, and i'm thankful for that. he also pointed out that i didn't have the same kind of connection with this ex that i did with the serious one-which is also so true. isn't it great how other people can help show you things that you were completely oblivious to?? :)
so why did i post those couple of things from him (there were more, by the way, but i limited it to two)? as a reminder of what a nasty person he is, how i'm much better off without him, and how much happier i am now. i look back and i don't like the person i was with him-was that his fault? no, that was mine. but now that i feel like the "old debbie" again, i know that it really wasn't a healthy relationship, when i was so unhappy a lot of the time and didn't like the way i thought and felt, not only about me, but about other people and things. i had a very down outlook on the world. and now that i'm happy, i'm so much more positive again (which feels awesome).
i'm not perfect, trust me, but at least i know that i deserve to be treated better. i've learned so much these past few years, i've grown a lot, and i feel like i'm in a great place now :)
p.s.-i bought an awesome book the other day, called it's called a breakup because it's broken, and i highly recommend it to anyone going through a breakup, or even to someone who just wants to feel better about things. it's funny and so right on (especially for me now, when my eyes have been opened to all of the bad stuff with my ex), and totally empowering. i loved it :)

from my ex-boyfriend (7-27-06)...
Current mood: relieved
did you get my email?how long are you going to ignore me for?is it because you find it funny?like i'm some kind of joke now?fine then. you're a psychotic worthless piece of shit loser and i have no reason to respect you at all. so fuck you and all your fucking selfish acts. you will get what you have coming to you. you've taken everything you could from me and have done nothing in return. you use people and you will always be a evil bitch who constantly needs to seek revenge because you have no substance to you. maybe some day you'll actually wake up and stop living inside a plastic bubble. and maybe someday you'll respect people and stop bitching about how you don't like how they do things. and maybe some day you'll stop being a controlling manipulator. go help a homeless person or something. live in the real world.

from my ex-boyfriend (7-19-06)...
Current mood: relieved
stop doing this you have no reason to treat me like this i know you're there
or should i be nasty instead? maybe that will get your attention well just to let you know we really need to talk about something and it's really important to me. and if you have any ounce of respect for me left, then i hope you'd be willing to listen but given your behavior, i'm thinking that maybe soon you'll turn around i never did anything to maliciously destroy you, just remember that

critters
Current mood: scared
okay, so on my old myspace, i had probably hundreds of blog entries, and i wasn't going to do any blog entries on here, but i figured this would add some humor to someone's day, if anyone chooses to read this :)
i have critters behind my walls. no joke. i moved into my apartment around june 1st, and after a few weeks, one night after a storm, i heard something behind my walls. it sounded like creatures running back and forth. okay, that freaked me out, but i thought, well, maybe they're just finding shelter to get away from the rain, you know?
so i heard them moving a few more times, once during the day on a weekend, and i started wondering if i should contact someone about it, but i really love animals, and i don't want anyone to come and kill them, so i've kept quiet. but now...they've moved.
on friday night, around 4:00 a.m., i heard a noise coming from the bathroom. my cat, rain, was in the doorway, and i thought there might be something in the tub. i was really freaked out, but i threw the shower curtain back, and there was nothing there. then i heard it. scratching. behind the bathroom walls. yep! so now they're just taking over, apparently.
i told my mom about it, and she thinks it's mice or rats. i know that a lot of people might just say to let the landlord know, but i'm so afraid that they will come out and try to kill them.
so what do i do?
as long as they stay behind the walls, i don't necessarily care...but is there a way for them to get through the walls??

"happy"
Current mood: thoughtful
Saving Jane - Jukebox
Filling up my empty days with red wineWonder what you think of me?Lying in the grass alone and wasted Nothing's how it used to be
I wanna be the first to call and tell youYesterday I heard the newsI hear you oughtta be congratulatedSo I guess that's what I'll do
I'm so happy for youI could cryYeah, I'm so elatedCross my heart and hope to dieI don't think about you every nightBefore I close my eyesI'm so happy for you baby,I could cry
Listen to the sound of my head poundingWish that it was make-believePraying for the skies to open up and Wash away your memory
I can walk around with a pretty face onEven when I'm black and blueWhat's the point in telling everybodyI'm not over you
I'm so happy for youI could cryYeah, I'm so elatedCross my heart and hope to dieI don't think about you every nightBefore I close my eyesI'm so happy for you baby,I could cry
Cry about the love we used to haveCry that I won't ever get you back
Filling up my empty days with red wineWonder what you think of me?
I'm so happy for youI could cryYeah, I'm so elatedCross my heart and hope to dieI'm so happy for youSo, so happy for youI don't think about you every nightBefore I close my eyesI'm so happy for you baby,I could cry
