So I just finished getting my Halloween costume together (what I could find of it anyway) and turns out I look more like the spawn of Hellboy rather than what I was actually going for (Devil with a blue dress). Who knew finding devil horns would be damn near impossible! If I did find some they were WAY too sparkly *insert Jeff Dunham impression here* and/or WAY too small. So I had to settle on demon horns which I have to manage to glue onto my red headband.
And I couldn't find a tail long enough to my liking :(
But I do have a staff thing that I'm going to put red ribbon on :)
AND I get to wear my hooker boots to work :)
It should be a good day tomorrow.
OOO...and it's payday and it's the check where I get my raise!! :)
Happy haunting!

I need my mommy :(
This weekend was one of the best of my life. I hung out with great friends, felt like I was on Dancing with the Stars & met some new people.
Today seems like one of the worst. I went to bed feeling fine. I woke up with my throat laced with sandpaper. I shook it to the side and went to work. Progressively feeling worse through the morning I kept with it and got everything done in a timely manner. The girl I work with in the morning (who is pushing 40) called in at 8:30 (she is supposed to come in at 7:30) saying her back was bothering her. Whatever, I hope you get fired. At this point I'm feeling a little bit better and now I have to train one of our new employees.
Luckily time flies and before I know it it's 2:45 (I'm supposed to leave at 2) and I leave. I get home and my ass sits on the couch and stays there. I have on layers upon layers as well as 2 blankets and a comforter. I have the chills like no other, a terrible headache and my body aches from head to toe.
"You should have gotten a flu shot."
Well, the last time I did that I got the flu (well over 5 years ago) so that's not an option. The last time I felt this bad I had pneumonia my sophomore year of college. I just took my temperature and it was 102. I'm no doctor but that's pretty damn high. And my mom, the RN, is not home to recommend something for me.
Currently I have taken a hot shower and am curled up on the couch, hoodie over my head determined to sweat this thing out. The chills are tamed for now and I managed to eat a granola bar and have a half drank cup of green tea next to me.
I WILL go to work tomorrow. A) I can't afford to use any of my sick days B) I can't afford to lose any money and C) I obviously can't rely on anybody else to show up on time to cover for me.
Oh yeah, and my cell phone died and my charger is at work so I couldn't get a hold of my boss to call in in a reasonable manner anyway.
I just hope I feel better :(

I believe in Harvey Dent
In the year and a half we've been dating, the longest I've got without seeing Greg is 3 weeks. Now I have to go 5. Five weeks! That's forever. Our schedules (okay maybe just his) are insanely busy these next handful of weeks.
This weekend is Western's homecoming so he'll be doing all sorts of fraternity stuff. I really want to go but I have to work. But I also get to dog sit for my Aunt's old college friend (roommate I think?) who also happens to be part of the morning show on XLC. Woot! I could definitely use the extra dough and time away from my own house. (my dad & brother are diving in La Paz so it's just my mom & I at home ... I need a break!)
Next weekend I'm venturing off to the Quad Cities for a wedding. I'm John's date since he's in the wedding and doesn't have a g/f of his own to take.
The following weekend is Halloween so naturally I'm doing something, plus I have to work that Saturday. I have the next 2 saturday's off but his schedule is so filled with JSO (Jazz band) stuff that he wouldn't be able to see me.
I'm still contemplating going down there and spending time with other people just to get out of this town for a few days.
Nothing else too exciting. Another 6 day work week this week so the paycheck'll be nice (that we get on Halloween) and payday is this Friday so double awesome!
Speaking of Halloween, I think I've decided what I'm going to be. I was going to be Sarah Palin because I can pull that off without having to buy anything. But I guess everyone else had the same idea so I was going to go as her when she was runner up for Miss Alaska but didn't feel like spending money on a retro prom dress.
So I decided to be Rachel Dawes (the chick from the Dark Knight). There's a top I've been eyeing for about a month now and if I go as her I'll have an excuse to buy it :). I just need to make a Gotham City PD nametag and maybe an 'I believe in Harvey Dent' button.
I wanted to be Pepper Potts from Iron Man but I don't look good in a blonde wig.
In other exciting news, I found out from my boss today that she sent in a request for a $2.00 raise for me!! Hooray!! She said to expect at least a $1.50 of that so I'm excited! All the more incentive for me to stay there until who knows when because God knows I'm not going to find something that pays that good to start!
Okay, time to be productive.
