01:08 pm - you got the right stuff...baby
Nothing is making me happier than the new kids getting back together. Saw them on the Today show this morning and surprisingly they all look great. Even Donnie who i was afraid of when I was 7 years old..i think his sexual energy was too much to handle at such young age. Jordan on the other hand was and still is a dream.
For those of you who don't know, i actually ran into Jordan and his son or daughter (like i remember) at the South Shore Plaza. I was turning the corner and almost walked right into him. After saying sorry i proceeded to stand with my mouth agape in shock. Jordan Knight who I pined over for the majority of my early childhood..looked right at me. He might have said something but i went temporarily deaf.
Anyways, i don't care what anyone says..i'm glad they are back together.

11:28 am - whatever you send out, comes back 3 fold
I'm doing something good today.
My friend Maureen is involved with the Providence Ronald McDonald House running club. The Ronald McDonald House provides families whose children have to be in the hospital for a long time, a place to stay that is virtually free of charge and close to the hospital. It's a good organization so when Maureen asked if i would be interested in writing a story for their quarterly newsletter I said yes. I've actually been looking to do some volunteer work so this was perfect...everything happens for a reason.
Tonight Maureen and the running club are cooking the families St. Patty's Day dinner. I'm going to observe and meet some of the families and try to get a story out of it.
i'm a little nervous. I'm not 100% confident in my writing..i know stupid thing to say seeing how it's practically my job. It's just that i've never done this before. I'm excited too. It's good that i'm doing something not so average on my Friday night.
Tomorrow I have to go get a cavity filled...finally my last one! I think i've gotten over my fear of the dentist which is almost unbelievable when i think about the agony i used to inflict on myself before going. The nightmares, sleeplessness, anxiety ridden awfulness. It might sound funny to some of you but last time I went i brought a big hunk of amythest with me (supposed to promote relaxation) and it was the first time i didn't freak out.
Then I will be going to Elina's birthday party. Her last birthday before the baby is born! I'm very excited..the whole gang will be there. I'm making brownies.
I'm off to pub board to get more wonderful books approved.

**Disney world update**
Well there has been a breakthrough and a little compromise. Jonny agreed to a Disney vacation as long as we can spend 2-3 days on the beach. I just found out that Cocoa Beach is only a 1 hour drive from Disney! So yay! I'm not sure when we will be going but at least i know that we will be going. I win :)
I played hooky yesterday and worked with Jonny. He needed the moral support as he is this close to quitting. Yikes.
I asked Kerry for a little Reiki session. I think it is needed before spring comes.
I've started reading The Glass Castle. I liked it at first and then one of my friends who read it pointed out that it's just one long list of bad things that happened to the writer and now that's all i can think about. I'll finish it though, even though i have a pile of books waiting for me. I started to alphabetize the bookcases yesterday in a fit of panic and had to walk away. now there is a a mountain of books on the floor. i'll get to it...eventually.
Today is election day in Rhode Island and to be honest I haven't made up my mind for the primaries. I know that i'm voting for the democrat no matter who it is when it comes to the presidential election but I don't know if i'm going to pick Obama or Hilary today. We shall see...

09:42 am - when you wish upon a star...
I can't believe I forgot to ask for the most important thing of all!!
I WANT TO GO TO DISNEYWORLD!
okay maybe a 25 year old shouldn't be asking for that but hell i want to go. The last time i went was for my senior trip which was almost 8 years ago---oh dear god have I really been out of high school for 8 years?
quick, next topic...
i finally got my hair cut. it is super cute and has lifted me out of my "ick" thing i've been going through this week.
My aunt Susan is here from California. I should just get on a damn plane and go visit. i mean she lives in the OC for christ sakes. Instead of watching a marathon of the OC like I did last Saturday I should just go there.
my mother just called me to tell i should be watching american idol...that's right, my mother...telling me i should watch more reality television. ick

01:15 pm - ask and ye shall receive
I've heard that if i just place an order with the universe on all the things that I want then it will deliver (free shipping and handling too). That being said here is my order:
#1. I want this promotion and a comparable salary
#2. I want my own office--real sunlight not necessary
#3. I want to stay at a fabulous hotel when we go to NYC for my bday
#4. I want there to be some warm weather prior to March 21st.
#5. I want a cute haircut and highlights/lowlights
#6. I want more friends in RI
#7. I want to stop taking in people's negativity
#8. I want to eat better
#9. I want to repaint the "fun" room
#10. I want to stop being lazy.
I have placed my order.

01:16 pm - bitch bitch bitch
it seems like i only come here to bitch and that may be true but i have things to bitch about. too offset the negative energy i will mention something good that happened too..if i can think of one.
since i got home last night from work things have been shitty.
jonny and i went out for dinner and decided we would give Mozzarella's one last chance to make a good impression but like the 4 other times we've been there..the food sucked, the atmosphere sucked, our waitress sucked, and the whole event lasted maybe 20 minutes. my salad was sitting in a pile of water, my "homemade" ravioli tasted like it had been defrosted and not cooked all the way through, jonny's calamari was barely warm and the sauce was clearly some form of wholesale jarred spaghetti sauce.
then we came home and noticed the house looked like a disaster area...per usual jonny gets annoyed, blames it on me, and is in a bad mood the rest of the night, falls asleep on the couch at 7:30 and we go to bed at 8.
this morning when i bring up going to disney world again because it seems to be the only thing i can think about he tells me he really doesn't want to go...ever. he doesn't consider disney world a vacation
it seems my boss has not grasped some information that i thought i made clear a few weeks ago which is making me think i'm going to have to rethink things very soon.
the one good thing:
i start my psychic development class tonight ..i'm feeling a bit blocked though.

i started the day off with a positive attitude but i'm getting more annoyed by the second.
i realize people have a lot on their plates but i mean get it together. there is a complete communication block happening and it would be so easy to fix. i would be fired if i performed the way some people do. this is so frustrating.
bleh, this place is turning to shit.

the next three songs will give me the answer to a question that has been plaguing me for about 6 months. Let's see what the itunes oracle has to say:
Flying: The Beatles
Civil War: Guns n Roses
She's Out of My Life:
ummm..one more for extra insight:
Pictures of YOu: the Cure
doesn't really go with the question i've been asking but overall not very positive. Am i leaving by plane somewhere, will i be in the middle of destruction?
and pictures of you is just a depressing song.
My tarot teacher is giving me and my mom a reading on sunday so hopefully i can get some clarification. I also have to go get some fillings at the dentist on Saturday and we all know how well i handle that...
the spooky box i ordered from ebay was sent to my old address in west bridgewater. i hope it finds its way to me or back to the owner so she can resend it. i hate to think of it lost somewhere especially since i spent $40 on it.

03:00 pm - you got the right stuff....baby
the new kids are back and you bet your ass i'm going!
Let It Be: The Beatles--always my mantra
The Sweetest Gift--Sade "quietly while you were asleep, the moon and i were talking, i asked that she'd always keep you protected"
Out From Under: Incubus :"to resist is to piss in the wind"
weekend update: i had quite the lazy weekend...once again. Well last weekend i saw spamalot which was awesome..did i already mention that? "i'm arthur, king of the Britons. Who are the britons?" lol
Saturday while Jonny was in full beer-brewing mode i went to smithfield to go shopping. I got a journal and book from B&N, ordered my black chucks, and then went home and watched 10 things i hate about you--a little tribute to heath.
Then i watched Ladyhawke which i haven't seen since i was a kid.
Sunday Jonny and I lounged all day, made a killer homemade pizza, and i actually got him to sit down and watch mystic pizza. I've been blessed with a bf that can sit through chick flicks. *sidenote: i can't believe we are going on 3 years.
Patrick is hooking me up with sweet rates on a very expensive hotel in NYC for my bday. i can get a suite at the waldorf astoria for about 1/3 of the normal price. soooo excited.

i'm going to do the itunes test again...how am i feeling today or what energy is surrounding me today?
Ticket to Ride: The Beatles
Space Dog: Tori Amos
God: Tori Amos "god sometimes you just don't come through, do you need a women to look after you?"
Ticket to Ride...well i desperately want to go to disney world. jonny and i have made a deal that if bush comes through with this $800 tax rebate, then we are going...hahah i just realized i said "if bush comes through" and my third song says "god sometimes you just don't come through" not that i'm saying bush is god but i'm sure he likes to think so.
space dog, not really familiar with that one.

03:54 pm - blech
doing a little test: Putting my itunes on random, the first three songs that come on are how i am feeling today. Let's check the accuracy:
For You Blue: The Beatles * one of george's creations, a cute love song
Tell Me What You See: The Beatles: "we will never be apart, if i'm part of you"
Too Much Food: Jason Mraz. I was just contemplating all of the shit i've eaten this past week due to pms.
very interesting. 2 beatles songs i don't really listen too that often but carrying the same message. and too much food is spot on. i'm feeling fat today and i'm craving a salad. that sounds so girly but don't take it that way. by salad i mean something not containing preservatives or sugar.
Case and point: on Saturday I hosted a Cupcake party. which meant i ate cupcakes pretty much all day. ugh gag.
yesterday I went to see Spamalot with mom which was awesome. barely ate anything all day then came home and had pizza at 8pm. oh and i was dehydrated so i pounded water for like an hour. needless to say i went to bed with a stomachache. i hate that. so i'm really feeling a need to detox. but what did i have for lunch today? leftover pizza because we didn't go food shopping yesterday so i had to bring what was left. oh god i want to die.
ooh yay, 26 minutes left of work.

12:48 pm - these precious things...let them break their hold on me
We had an unexpected snow day yesterday. I spent it organizing and alphabetizing my cds, dvds, and books. A very large task. A couple of conclusions have been made:
1. I desperately need an iPod. I have far too many cds and i want to be able to find all of my music on one device. However, i do not have the extra cash to buy one. Maybe I will ask for one for my bday.
2. I really need to start updating my vhs to dvds. After working at Movie Stop and Blockbuster for the majority of my teenage years, I've accumulated wayyyy too many movies. I'm trying to part with some of them via "SwapaDvd" which is like PaperbackSwap (my new obsession) but for dvds. I've recently ordered The Shining, Shawshank Redemption, and Fight Club. Must haves for my collection.
3. My book collections is OUT Of CONTROL. I have a 6 ft. tall bookcase and a 4 ft. tall bookcase. I've sorted my books so all of the ones I haven't read are in the 6 ft. tall bookcase. The first row of my 4 ft. one are books i've read all the way through and the rest are ones i've started but haven't finished. A 6 FT. BOOKCASE OF BOOKS I HAVEN'T READ!!! I should be ashamed.

I've been getting a string of bad cards lately..a lot of poverty, breakup, general upheaval cards.
I'm thinking about not reading for myself for a while...except my new class starts tomorrow night.
Things aren't even that bad really..i mean work is work. i still feel unsettled about why might or might not happen with work. It's been like this for a while. The company is just kind of unbalanced and we could topple at any time. Or i'm just convincing myself of that because god forbid they actually tell us the truth here. I"m so tired of the "don't worry, everything is fine, there is no possible way we are shutting down and/or moving to Cincinnati" attitude. i wish people would just admit that ya, things are shitty right now and who knows what will happen.
Jonny and I: we're actually really good right now and we have been for a while. Since we hit our minor snag in November things have been good. Although we still need to learn how to be more patient with each other and not speak with "that tone" in our voice. Well, i speak with a tone in my voice. We are just both too stubborn for our own good. However, i wouldn't say we have any major problems. We still have fun with each other, still love each other, and are still happy to see each other when we come home from work. We both have our little quirks and things we stress about...jonny worries about the cracks in the ceiling while i could care less about. I care about if jonny uses the "cleaning dishes" sponge to clean the floors...little shit like that.
okay just received some news regarding work i need to talk to my director about...the upheaval could be starting.

08:12 am - Card of the Day
Temperance:
very interesting. I've haven't picked this card since I got the deck. the picture is of a man with wavy blond hair. actually he is an angel with huge gold wings. He is juggling three balls and is standing in a pool of water. One foot is on a rock the other is in the water. The sun is starting to rise in the background. he has a smile. this is a positive card, i think it means keeping a balance.
"This card tells the Querent that they CAN and should put thesis and anti-thesis together to get the even more useful synthesis. But it will take time, care, patience and experimentation. And also, yes, moderation."
