I finally moved into this century and got a cell phone. Lisa and I had decided to go to the mall while Easton was doing the safety inspection on my car. But right inside the entrance to the mall is the US Cellular store. We went in to ask some questions, and I leave with a phone. Lisa had to put it under her name, or else they wanted a $400.00 deposit! Obviously, the creditors have not all updated with the Credit Report Bureaus.
I still had to pay a $200.00 refundable deposit, and Lisa coughed up $80.00 for the phone. I love you girl!
The phone is a $300.00 phone and I got it for a good price. There�s also a $50.00 rebate that I�m probably going to give Lisa.
Now, people can track me down wherever I am. Am I pleased? If it�s Lisa, yeah. If it�s Cinder�s, no. I even set the default ringer for Cinder�s on this really annoying shrill ring, so I�d know it was her.
I want to download some ring tones. For my religious aunt, the cell phone will play either �Hallelujah� (for her home) and �When the Saints go Marching in!� (for her cell). It cracks me up!
For my cousin Jackie is going to be that �Milkshake� song. You know, �My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard�� If you knew why, it would crack you up. Instead of Milkshake, imagine her singing it with �Milk Jugs� and you�ll see why.
Lisa�s birthday turned out to be very nice. I�m glad she had a good birthday, because it is really depressing when you get your hopes up and then it sucks. It already sucks to be another year older, but on top of that, it seems like a lot of people in your life just don�t care�
But Lisa had a good day! Check her out sometimes. She�s listed in my profile as being whinerwoman.
Friday was Lisa�s candle party. I agreed to go to support her. I think the name of it is Party-Lite or something like that. I�m not crazy about their candles, but I ordered a few things. There was a couple I thought I�d like but it smelled more like something you�d smell on a baby prostitute!
I did get a few things and I can�t wait to get them. They are a bit overpriced I noticed. That�s why I love Marshall�s and Yankee Candle. You get some good deals on candles on sale, and I don�t know a girl that doesn�t love candles.
The lady giving the party tried to get us to have our own parties. I can�t be mad because I know that�s how she makes her money. But honestly, I didn�t have Mary Kay parties either. I just don�t like trying to sell people stuff, so I declined the invitation.
It was fun to see Lisa�s friends. Of course, Doug hid out and watched �Dallas�. He�s not dumb! Smart guys like him stay away from the estrogen parties.
Saturday, Lisa and Jake came over to help us get the house clean. There was no way I was having photographers from the paper come over and my house be messy. Lisa and Jake helped with Jackie�s room, which was a chore by itself!
After that Lisa had no energy but that was okay because all I wanted was the company.
We took out 3 bags of trash that day!
I was kind of pooped after all of that. Lisa went to take Jake home. Earlier in the day we said we�d go to the mall, but then after all that cleaning no one felt like going. While Jackie was in the shower I talked to Lisa and we decided to go to the mall Sunday instead.
However, Jackie got out of the shower and was very disappointed that we weren�t going. So I called Lisa and found out she was already there getting her rings soldered. (Doug had bought her another diamond band to go with her engagement and wedding rings for her birthday).
So we went. We hit �The Icing� and I bought some barrettes for my crazy hair. Jackie bought some gag stuff, like fake mustaches and eyebrows.
I was going to sit down on a bench and rest my back while Lisa was in Bath and Body Works, but they had a sign out that their soaps were 5 for $15.00, so I had to go in. I picked out 5 in an assortment of scents, but I also decided to buy a tube of body cr�me, in Black Raspberry Vanilla. Girls, you got to smell that! It smells good!
After we left there, we went to Yankee Candle to get some tarts. My new favorite fragrance is Pear Vanilla Bean. It is yummy!
After that, we were all starving. So Jackie got a Mexican pizza at this Mexican place, and Lisa and I got chicken wraps.
We parted ways. I crashed hard that night into restful sleep.
I know I�ve not been updating a lot but honestly, how much can anyone stand reading about my angst with the case! I admit I am pretty much obsessed and preoccupied with it all. It�s all I think about. I�m sorry for sounding like a broken record.
It still floors me that people find it interesting. The photographer from the Post told me it was a good story. Something people would like to know and read about.
Sometimes, it just feels like I�m living someone else�s life.
It doesn�t feel real sometimes.
Sunday, it was crazy. Jackie and I got up early and went to this new place to do laundry, over on Telegraph. It was very nice, air conditioned, and roomy!
After we got back, I cleaned up the guinea pig cage and lit some candles to make the house smell nice.
The photographer was early at 2:30 p.m.! He took this photograph of me with an empty chair behind me. He told me it was symbolic, and when I looked at it (he had $6,000 Nikon digital camera), it did look really nice.
I asked him when he got ready to leave when he thought it would be printed. Though he�s a real sweetheart, his name is Sam, he was wrong. It was not printed yesterday or today.
Maybe that has something to do with Hurricane Katrina. I�m just mad because I bought 3 newspapers on Monday for nothing.
Oh well.
I actually have a lot on my mind today. Much to ponder�
One thing is that I found out my cousin Nicole has been reading my diary under a false name. Please, if you know her, don�t say anything to her.
Nicole was honest and sent me an email letting me know that she found my diary sometime in January and was reading it. Then, I locked it, and she admits she created a fake diary and asked me for my password. I can�t believe it but I gave the information to her. Now that I read back into her entries it is fairly obvious that not only is she family but that the diary is fake. If it was easy for her to get my password, well, I just hope nobody that intends for bad things to happen to me finds it and tricks me.
I am a little upset but I love Nicole. She was doing research on what happened to my mom and Googled and my page popped up. She read several entries before she realized it was me writing it. She continued to read it for a while, she admitted.
She did say she stopped reading it some time ago because she felt bad. Hey, I�ve made mistakes too. I love her too much to let this come between us.
I was telling Lisa last night (on my new cell phone!) that I had a good day Thursday, a fun Friday, and a good weekend. I even had a good day yesterday which was a MONDAY. But I think this is the calm before the storm.
It doesn�t help that I had a dream last night that I cut my hair, which signifies either change or losing strength.
I just want to know so I don�t walk into work one day and have everybody staring at me and not know why. I gave them some deep dark secrets during the interview process, stuff I don�t talk about a lot. It�s all going to be out in the open and it�ll be weird.
My stomach has been in knots since yesterday. Even though I�m frustrated each morning when I realize the article has not been printed, I am now one day closer to the day it is printed.
