Just Another Day

Today was my first day not doing my internship, and let me tell you, it was GREAT! I didn't have to be at school till 12:20PM, so I didn't roll out of bed until 8AM and it was marvelous. I took my sweet time getting ready for school, and even had time to pick out my outfit for tomorrow, which was a major plus. I then headed to the grocery store, and I really should know better than to go to Holiday, as I got stopped by everyone who knows me. It's amazing how fast news travels of you wanting to move out in a small town. At the store I got my Dad's gift card and birthday card, because today is his birthday yay!!...

After all my extravaganzas I drove to school. Silly me though, I forgot it was so late in the afternoon and there would be no traffic. So even though I didn't have to be in class till 12:20 I was at the school at 10:50. This at least allowed me to pay part of my loan and turn in all my internship paperwork, and I really can't explain the happy dance I am doing right now knowing that that is over. I hated my internship, where all I did was freaking inventory. Teachers tell you oh yeah at your internship you will get all sorts of hands on experience and then you get there and do absolutely nothing but stare at a monitoring screen or inventory. It was such joyous fun....not...

After all that Wayne came early and we got to have ourselves a little picnic for lunch and catch each other up on our day. It was very relaxing, and we always enjoy watching the little squirrels try to be all stealthy in snagging food left behind by other students. We then went to our ONLY class of the day. It was rather dull and I find it amazing how we manage to stay awake in class after lunch time when he turns off the lights and puts on a power point. You just can't help but wonder, really dude? Most of us don't sleep much and by turning off the lights its like telling us to just go ahead and pass out and everything will be fine haha.

Then I got to work. It was freaking busy from the get go. I had two meetings, and I got into an argument with one of my coworkers. His stupid self got an email from a customer talking about a problem she had that he had been working on. Turned out he wasn't really working on the issue and didn't know what she was talking about so chose to ignore the email instead of handling it. In turn I told him how unresponsible that was and that's how you lose clientele. He really quickly back pedaled and started changing his story. Then started apologizing and kissing butt. I was really shocked how ever that he didn't go running to the manager as he is the biggest tattle tale that works here, but even if I had gotten in trouble it would have been worth it. It felt great to finally stand up to this guy who constantly tries to tell me what to do or make me do things when its his own work and he's just too lazy to do it, or feels it is below him to do it. Then I had to do battle with a big cart with a computer on it and use it to log into a bunch of servers. Well logging into the servers and labeling them was easy. Getting the cart back through the door on the other hand was damn near impossible. The cart got caught on the mat and then the keyboard trap got caught on the sign and I was pulling and pulling because I knew if I didn't get the cart through the door in 40 seconds the stupid building alarm was going to go off, and I so did not want to do that. I guess I kept making noises while the cart was stuck and the two guys on shift came to my aid to help me get it through. Lol it was fairly amusing and they kept making fun of me, but I can say, I at least did not set off the alarm haha. We all had a pretty good laugh at my battle between the cart and door. All in all, today was a pretty good day.

This is my life, and everything's just peachy...

Anticipation

Well, my intentions were to post everyday, but it is freaking impossible to make this site work when you have pathetic dial up. I know you are probably wondering, "Who the hell has dial up anymore?" Well Ladies and Gents I unfortunately have stupid dial up. It is awful, but I can say it has taught me patience and I think I get more done. Take for instance I will type in the website I want in, then go do the dishes. I'll click on the next button I want and read a few pages of my book. And it will continue like that until I am finally finished. It really has increased my multitasking skills lol.

Anyways, I suppose we should start with Saturday. Saturday was actually I relatively good day. For one I didn't do much of anything but hang on with my sister, and I can tell you right now that those are the best times for me. Anyways the day started off with my dad getting the lawn mower stuck in the tree. How you might ask? It beats the hell out of me haha. I just came outside and noticed it was quiet when he should have been mowing, I looked up the hill and low and behold the riding lawn mower was stuck in a freaking pine tree. I couldn't help but laugh. I mean how many times do you ever see a lawn mower stuck in a tree haha. Then I had to pick up my sister from my mom's house and we got to hang out with Mom's roommate. He is an alcoholic who is actually going to AA and trying to get himself help, but it just doesn't stop him from drinking every now and again. He was most definitely drunk, but I do enjoy our talks. That day he told me if my dad refuses to walk me down the aisle when me and my boy friend decide to get married because my boyfriend,  Wayne, is black he said he would only be a phone call away. It was really quite touching, especially since I know I will lose most of my family ties when they find out about Wayne. I know you're thinking why would I be willing to sacrifice family for a man? I'll tell you why. He is the single most amazing person I have ever met. He has probably taken better care of me than my own father, and there is always the whole you can't help who you love. Then after that my sister and I went out to lunch. We had chinese which always seems to be what we do for lunch, but it gives us a chance to catch up and spend time together. We then watch the movie No Strings Attached, which I might add was a pretty good movie, not the best, but I would watch it again.

Then there was Sunday. Sunday was rather dull. We mostly cleaned all freaking day. Then I took my dog, Smalls, to his play date with his possible new owner. I'm planning on moving into the city, and Smalls is a Great Pyrenees, which are huge dogs, and it just would not work out well for him to be in the city. This place has about 5 acres and is all fenced him. I know Smalls would be happy there. He got to play with a German Shepard and the the owner asked to take him for a 2 day trial, so Wednesday morning Smalls will be going to his doggie slumber party. I'm very nervous about it, and I really don't want to let him go, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Finally, today. Today was just a normal day. I went to school. I had lunch with Wayne. Then I went to work. Nothing at all exciting has really happened today, and nothing too amusing that I can possibly think of. I wish I had more to tell, or even some silly story, aside from the lawn mower, but hey there are no complaints, and dull days can sometimes be the best days.

This is my life and everything's just peachy...

Introduction

Hi, my name is Brandi. I've never really blogged before, but I figured maybe that is why I should start. You know, I'm not very fond of expressing myself to people, nor am I very good at it. I guess maybe that's why I found myself craving some sort of outlet. I know my life is no where near as bad as others.I mean I'm not dying from cancer, I'm not trying to stop global warming, and I'm most certainly no Julie cooking my way through Julia Child's cookbook. This is just me, my life, and my experiences.

I truly don't expect anyone to read this blog or understand why I'm doing it, but I can promise that those that do will be along for quite the bumpy ride. My life may not be as bad as others, but boy do I have drama and loads to talk about. I mean, my father is a racist, and I'm dating a man of color and my dad doesn't know. My parents are divorced, but find the solutions to their problems at the bottom of a bottle. My sister just finished her freshman year of high school, but she acts like she is 20 going on 30. My boy friend has a daughter who is 2 years old, and her mother can be a little nuts at times. If you ask me, I think combining all these things can make for a very interesting story to tell, or even a life to live.  Like I said, I don't expect anyone to read this, but all I have to say is if you do you will laugh, you will cry, but most of all I hope you enjoy.

This is my life, and everything's just peachy...
