You know, sometimes being an adult sucks ass. I'm tired of bills and responsibilities I just can't handle. I havnt gotten to sit down and just relax in months. We are taking the week of my birthday off work but we are so broke we can't do anything. And we have family coming down. I can't wait to see how we can afford that. I'm just hoping brycesdad chooses to pay for everything. It's horrible today but it not like he doesn't have tons of money. On the positive site we are at least able to keep the bills paid. Can't do much of anything else but we have a house and electricity and stuff. I should be thankful for that right? some days I wonder why I even bother waking up.

Hi everyone. Hope you all are ok. Well, things haven't been great here until this week. Last month, we lost our cat Sandy. It was really hard. We were all very attached to him. I still miss him. That said, this week got a cool suprise that made things a little better around here. Someone from the vet called us on Wednesday to let us know that a woman was looking for a home for her cat. It was 4 year old cat. Would we be interested? We had been thinking about getting another cat...but we had no idea it would be so soon. We went over to the vet and we met the woman & her cat. The cat's name is Kiki. We loved her right away. You see, in the game we like called Animal Crossing, there is a cat (a black cat) named Kiki. This cat at the vet was black just like Kiki from the game (well mostly black, she does have some brown on her too). We knew we were going to get her right then. And the woman was giving her away for FREE with litter box, carrying box, toys, etc. So, yeah, great deal for us. As I write this, she's up in my office with me. She has been really shy around us and is still getting use to us, but she's made great progress in just the two days she's been here. She has discovered most of the house and seems to get along, for the most part,with all of us. Sometimes she is a bit jumpy, but I think overall, she likes us. We like her. So, its been a great week. Still no sign of a job for me. So not really much going on outside of the house. But Kiki has sure made things interesting around here for us. DF2506

I'm so happy you are enjoying your new kitty. Losing a pet is really, really, REALLY hard though. I still tear up over the one I lost several years ago. My kitties have adjusted well to their new home. Sugar, especially, seems very happy to be here. Fred is enjoying being the center of attention when we have a guest. Lola, my Granny's cat, doesn't know what to think about her new brother and sister. She likes Fred and follows him around, but she's scared of Sugar for obvious reasons--Sugar is about 3 times bigger than she is.

I'm so happy you are enjoying your new kitty. Losing a pet is really, really, REALLY hard though. I still tear up over the one I lost several years ago. Yes, it was really hard and I still think about Sandy a lot. I even, almost, call out for him once and awhile. Have to stop myself. The new cat is great, but she's no Sandy. I don't think Kiki would have liked Sandy. Kiki is VERY shy compared to Sandy and a lot smaller. Sandy was a HUGE cat. Almost as big as a dog (actually he was bigger than some dogs I've seen...). Kiki still hasn't fully gotten use to us. She tends to stay in my office upstairs a lot and is very shy around more than one person. Heck, she's shy around just one person sometimes. She also scares easily. The slightest noise can bother her. I think one of her previous masters mistreated her. Kiki is a bit twitchy with us still. I don't think she fully trusts us yet. That all said, we really like her a lot. She can be very playful and she likes rubbing against us. I can tell she likes us. I think its just going to take some time for her to get use to us & this new place she is in. Anyway, not much else to say. lol. I did get a card in the mail saying there is another test open at the school for a job. I may call next week & see if I can get a test setup. Though, I think I took that one before and didn't do too well on it. *sigh* I hate this whole job hunting thing... Can't wait till next month. October is one of my favorite months of the year! I love Halloween and like watching Halloween shows/movies. I don't like gore movies, but I do like creepy/spooky movies. Probably the only expection to the gore rule is the Walking Dead. Thats pretty gore-y, but its so well written & acted. Looking forward to when it comes back! DF2506 " Though, next week, there is a free game on the DSi/3DS for download. Legend of Zelda: the Four Swords! Can't wait! "

So my boss pulls me into his office yesterday and says "How's it going, Alex?" and I'm like "Pretty good!" and he's like "Glad to hear it. Guess what?" I'm like "lolwut?" and he says "We like you. Have another buck fifty per hour". I was all "Badass! Thanks." so he says "inorite? But there's more!" and I'm like "ORLY?" and he's all "YARLY! Its retroactive as of September 1st so all the hours you put in since then will be made up for with the wage increase on your next check." and when I heard this I was all "HOOOOOOLY FUCK! That's amazing!"And then he kicked me out of his office.

Get a wrist brace or something. I miss ya. Unfortunately, if you do have carpal tunnel, the only way to truly fix it is surgery. According to Granny.

Steve Jobs died, what a shock... I had no idea he was even sick. RIP, he changed the face of technology forever.

Saw that coming honestly, he just *looked* sick and suddenly he stepped down. The signs were there. He was lucky he was able to keep it mostly a secret though.

It wasn't a secret he has been battling Cancer for a long time. Poor guy.

Well secret wasn't a good choice of words, maybe "private" was better. It wasn't very highly publicized. I mean hell Jersey Shore got more air time...but maybe that's not a fair comparison. <_<

Jersey Shore can suck my balls!
Too bad about Steve Jobs. I read that he really liked to hit the LSD back in the day. Musta been a real hippy. I'm sure he had good taste in music too. R.I.P.
I fired up Netflix not long ago. This shit is amazing. I wish I would have done it sooner. I make sure to watch an episode of SpongeBob Square Pants every morning before work. I also watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer here and there. Its funny how I used to think the show was too violent for TV back in the day. Now it seems utterly cheesy. But its still fun to watch. And its interesting seeing the 90's version of a Human/Vampire romance. Much better than Twilight. David Boreanaz wasn't such a girl. He was pretty badass. Awesome 90's haircut and everything. ;D
