You can see the death of the mums in the background. For some odd reason, these petunias have resisted death. I can't believe there are still live FLOWERS here!

• 02:57 #RioVegas I am stressed! Need some more time in Vegas, the free-er the better. #
• 03:01 Okay, so I'm shameless. Ahh, wells. It's better than the Beaver, Utah tweet that I've had up for ages. Right?!? #

I haven't posted in a while because most of my posts would go like this :

"I don't want to do anything today. So, I didn't. The end."

While I realize this is not a healthy way to live, it's what I've been struggling with for the past few weeks. I have spurts of sunshiney happiness, then something doesn't go my way... or I just don't want to do it, and we're back to square one.

I am acting like SUCH a 2-year old.

In other news, I will be single this weekend. It will be only the SECOND time ever that I've been alone in the house for more than an hour or two at a time. I think I may vacuum in the middle of the night and do laundry in the middle of the day. Scandalous. The house could certainly use BOTH of those. (See above)

Is this depression? I don't feel like the world is closing in on me or anything. I just don't feel like doing crap. Obviously, crap doesn't involve the internet. Maybe I should take a break from the internet. Not entirely plausible since my courses depend on it, but maybe LESS internet. Less farmville, less yoville and less restaurant city. But... I DON'T WANT TOOOOOoooo.

I am a 2-year old. Seriously.

We're off to give my Mom and Dad the dishwasher and stove from the rental house. My Dad actually complained about it. I roll my eyes at him often, then realize we are cut from the same cloth. It saddens me when I catch little bits of my Father's negativity slipping from my mouth. I need to stop that. But... I DON'T WANT TOOOOOooooo!

See my dilemma?

I did work out yesterday, even though I didn't WANT TOOOooooo.

Is that what life becomes when you get older, a series of things you must do, but don't want to? Is that it?

I am sick of hearing people say there's no work. I cannot get ANYONE to return my calls or show up for estimates right now. So far the plumbers won't give me a ball park figure to install a toilet, and NO siding estimates showed up.

I think that people were just used to making money easily, now it's harder. How can I spend money and make the economy better if you won't LET ME!

Really, how hard is it to give me a phone estimate for toilet installation? Is there a lot of variation in how a toilet is bolted to a floor? UGH.

There is a house somewhere behind us (it's hard to tell where because the ravine echoes something terrible), that has a house alarm that has gone off once every 2 hours since last night around midnight. It woke me up 3 times while I slept. It's speeding up. It went off at 10:13pm, 11:09pm and just now at 11:57pm. I can't really tell where it's coming from, so it's rather hard to report it to anyone. Even if I knew where it was coming from, who do you call? It's really not a matter for the police. What would they do?

At least it was Saturday night when it all started, it's a school night now. I can't imagine living next door to that. It goes off for a solid 5-7 minutes every time it goes off.

I know it's not a life or death matter, but boy is it annoying. This, and that I can be quite the cranky pants when someone else messes with my sleep!

I finally caught up in The Tudors. Joss Stone does not look like a horse. Who the heck cast her for that role? There has to have been an ugly actress in Hollywood that would have played Anne of Cleves, right?

It's about to get nasty!

Man, famous people are dropping like flies.

Ed McMahon was not a huge surprise. I am sad that Farrah Fawcett lost her battle with breast cancer. BUT... who thought Michael Jackson would EVER die? He was too young by far AND he had all that money and oxygen chambers.

I am sad that he will never create anymore music.

Seems like I'm full of bad news lately.. heh.

Oh, and Lj, stop being slow DAMMIT!

*edit* - I was misinformed. I didn't check my interwebs. Farrah had rectal cancer. Talk about something narsty!

I keep getting phone calls to lower my rates. Every time I asked to be removed from the call list I get hung up on! I'm really pissed about this. His first question, what's the credit card number you want the interest rate reduced on. Uhh, RED ALERT. The number comes in as blocked. I wonder if I can call the phone company and get their business number that way. I know there are large fines for calling people on the DNC list.

I feel awful knowing there are people that are just reading their credit card numbers to them. I find it truly insulting that they hang up on me every time! This is the third time! UGH!

I'm not going to lie, there have been some issues with the condo. You want to know what's nice? I'm sitting here playing Sims 3 (still no sound, grr) with a goblet of crushed iced and Jack-in-the-Box iced tea. What makes it even better? The view out the balcony and "Adventures in babysitting" on TBS. Seems like a boring Saturday, but it's just what I needed right now.

On to paper writing and quizzes in a few hours. Now is mine.

• 05:48 Why yes, I am in South Beaver, Utah. Thanks for asking! #

• 02:21 Why must there be terrible weather when we're gone? I hope the truck didn't get hit with any golf ball sized hail. #

There are some strange things afoot in my neighborhood. Seriously strange.

I know it's way silly, but the photo cracked me up!

All my finals are over and I'm relieved. It was rather nice that a hellish week was ended with 2 great parties. I had a first communion and a graduation party to attend. I know that first communion may not seem like a party, but it is if you know how to put on a bash!

deeayaich's brother graduated from Purdue, and boy was that a party. I'm so glad I never had to wear the mullet! I ended up a DD for the graduation party, but just for a good friend.... So it's a'ight. It's not like I drink usually anyway. It seemed like everyone had a blast, and so did I!

School starts up again later on this week. I'm just taking one class. I figure it will be enough to keep me out of trouble while we're in Vegas for a month. I think that Hubby is worried about me being bored out of my brain. I told him that Sims 3 comes out on June 2. Between that, and my school work, I think I'll be fine. So far, mokie12 is coming out from California to visit. I think that Hubby's parents and brother may make it out as well. I find it hard to believe that I'll find time to be bored.

On that note, I need to order the car seat protector (for kia), get an appointment with an new optometrist for some contacts (boy did the last one suck), go to the pharmacy, fill up the gas tank, grab some subway, work out and order some jeans.

I have to fit vacuuming and cleaning off both of my desks in there somewhere.

I got my book for my class. It's Communication and Conflict. It should be interesting. It was $60 used at the campus bookstore. I snagged it for $17 on Amazon. I was slightly miffed when I got it. It was supposed to be 'used- like new'. The paper in it from the girl before me said 'used- good condition'. It has highlighting and the edges were bent up pretty well. It's usable for $50 off. But STILL! I'm trying to decide if I want to leave negative feedback.

Alright, off to start on some of my list.

As if that wasn't enough, I'm late. I don't want to take a test. I'm like 99% sure it's a no go. But, it would be HORRID timing with the Vegas trip and week 8 hitting while we're in Vegas. Soo, doesn't that make it even more possible? Hah!

I don't know when the last time I laughed this hard...

It's funny because it's true.

Make sure you have your speakers on and you're not at work or have children in the room.

I seem to be spending most of my online time at facebook and pogo. I've also been playing tycoononline (both the US and NU versions).

I think I'm drifting away from journal writing. I don't know if the twitter/facebook style of writing has given me then attention span of a gnat, or I'm just busy.

We're working on getting the new business off the ground. I've been trying to secure lawn guys, a retaining wall (stupid land moving) and house painters. I'm also working on a place to vacation this summer. It's the end of the semester and I am headed to Massachusetts next weekend.

It could be that I'm tired of it. I think that 14 years is an eternity to do ANYTHING on the web, don't you?

And, I still miss Buster. *sigh*

Someone to make all of the decisions for me. Is there an actual job description or title for this one, or is it possible that "Mom" and "Dad" are the last ones that can ever fill the position? I'm really tired of making decisions that I am SO completely unsure about.

Gah!

Accepting a plea bargain that her attorney described as unprecedented in American jurisprudence, a 22-year-old Maryland woman yesterday agreed to cooperate in the prosecution of other defendants in the death of her son under the condition that charges against her be dropped if the child rises from the dead.

She must think her kid was Jesus? Hahaha!
