Service in Fairbanks, just sad

Service in Fairbanks is just lacking. I've noticed it mostly because I have worked in several service industries, and have had to work with those people who seem to lack whatever it is that makes for good service. So, I was at McDonalds last night. I understand that its McDonalds, the employees get paid only so much to put up with crap, and I understand that its not really a high standard of service.

Anyways, there was one person in the drivethru, and I pulled in behind them. They waited for a while, and then pulled through. Seems normal. I pull up and no one says anything for about a minute or two. Usually they at least say, one moment, but I figured they were busy. After a while, I looked over and saw that it was slightly dark inside, although there were still some lights on, and that the person was no longer in the drivethrough. I said hello into the speaker and no reply. I honked my horn just to get someone's attention, thinking they didn't know they had customers. No response.

I drove up to the window and looked right at a girl standing around inside. She looked right back at me, walked towards the window, then right past into the lobby. I was extremely mad at this point. I honked at her, and she ignored me still, so I left. As I drove off, vowing to come back the next day, I saw a manager (the blue shirts) smoking in the entryway, and he ducked as I drove by, because he had heard me honk and knew I was upset that they were closed. I didn't care that they were closed, I cared that I was ignored and there was no way for me to know they were closed until I was ignored by employee's in uniforms, and a manager no less.

This morning I had to get up to take Aaron to the dentist. I stopped by the same McDonalds. I asked the guy working the register if he was a manger. He indeed was (blue shirt) and so I asked if they were open last night. He said they were not because HE was the only one there all night. I told him that I came there last night and there was no sign at all saying they were closed, and a girl inside looked right at me and ignored me. Turns out she was "off the clock" and was waiting for a ride (from 11-2 apparently). He just apologized in a "I don't really care" kinda way. I figured it wouldn't do much good to tell him, the person who was hiding from me, instead of his boss.

Anyways, I started that blog earlier, like Wednesday morning, but I didn't get a chance to finish it until today (Monday). I have been so busy with taking care of Aaron, and then being at work that I haven't had a chance to do much. I liked taking care of Aaron though. :D It was fun. He was really appreciative (especially at first, when he was on his med's) but it made me feel like a good girlfriend. :D He said I didn't do as good as a job as his mom would've, but that is to be expected, and that I did almost as good a job. No one can take care of you like your mother can.

So, thats all I've been doing since then, is taking care of Aaron (alot of sleeping, watching movies, etc.) and working. Work has been eventful. We had 3 cooks and a hostess walk out one day. then two days later another cook walked out. (all of these at the beginning or mid shift) So, yeah, work has been fun. haven't been making NEARLY the money I used to because of all the cook drama, but I'm still making okay money.

I'm still up to date on all my bills. :D I need to write a letter to the student loan people asking for deferment. Otherwise, 7/18 I'll start owing them money. I can afford it, but would rather not. I have been saving up money, and can afford to pay Aaron back, and I've already paid back my tickets. So I only owe my dad some. Next bill that is due is rent on the first, and there are three of us this month, so its cheaper. I will be able to start saving up money to move as soon as I pay my dad back.

Saturday I went to the Mud Drags at the Mitchell Raceway. That was fun. Aaron, Nava and I sat together, and I got to see Chris, Merena, Craig, Jen's, and Reggie (all people from the newsminer). Sunday I went to my dads birthday party out at Chena lakes. Aaron and I went, and Nava, my dad, Amin, Ben, Kayla, Briana, Carol, Jeremy, Junior (who I haven't seen in a while), a few of my dads friends, and then April at the end were all there. Aaron and I went Canoeing a couple times. It stared to rain at the end.

I think thats about all from my week. I really need to clean my room, but I don't know if I will. :P

Life in the Bar and Trip to Anchorage

So, life in the bar is still good. I make over $22.00 an hour on average, and most nights I make between 15% and 20% of my sales in tips. Saturday night I actually walked out with 20% in tips, even though we tip 2.75% to the Hostesses and Bartender. The most I've made in one night is $120, and the most I've worked is less than 7 hours. I think thats pretty good. :D Anyways, its alot of fun in the bar because if there is nothing to do, I can chat with my customers, who are almost always chatty, but I don't have to worry about getting in trouble for "not working".

I am not sure if I am going to be able to afford to move at the end of June. I wanted to, but I need about $1500 and I have $250 saved up, and haven't paid my dad or Aaron back yet. I DID pay my tickets, only because they wrote me a letter telling me I HAD to pay them back or else they would go to collections and charge me a $50 late fee. So, all I owe left is $1000. :D I think if I keep making about $400 a week in tips, then I can pay my dad and Aaron back, and afford to move by the end of the summer. What its all going to REALLY depend on is Boston's in Anchorage. If they want me to move down there and work there at the end of the month, then I will, if not, then I will wait until they do need me for full time. (well Boston's Full Time)

My trip to Anchorage sunday was Interesting... yes, perfect word. I was going to get off of work Saturday night and go home and go to bed. Aaron wanted me to come help him pack. I went to his house, after waiting at McDonalds Drive Thru for 30 minutes because they were SO busy at both drive thrus. I helped him pack, and by the time we were done, it was about 4 AM. I still wanted to take a shower, so we went to my house and I took a shower. When I was done, it was about 4:40, so we stopped by my dads to get my other boxes. It was POURING out and my dad had locked the door, so I had to run to the back to get the key, then come back out, get the boxes, then go put the key back. I was dripping wet. We stopped by a gas station for drinks and food and left. We left town at 5:30.

Aaron drove, on no sleep the whole way there. We get there and its already 1:30 or something. (he was driving a big truck towing a trailer, so thats why it took so long. He called one storage company and they had no open spaces. He called one more and they had one, but closed at 2. We rushed there to get a storage space. We pulled up and it was SO ghetto, that I didn't want to leave the stuff there, but we didn't have much choice. We looked at the spot, and it seemed okay, although there was trash all in it. He bought it.

We went to open the gate RIGHT after buying it, and the number wouldn't work. I went in to tell them and the girl was already gone. She left as SOON as we had walked out to the truck. She knew we were going to unpack it right now. She saw me walk up there, but she was in her car and just drove away. I figured out that she had doubled up a number, and got us in (I saved the day!) We unpacked the trailor and put everything in the storage space. Aaron closed the door, put the lock on, and jiggled it, just to check. The door still opened. It turns out it was BROKEN and even after locking it, the door opened. He took out his tools and fixed it so it wouldn't slide open anymore.

Finally, we were hungry, so we went to eat. Jordan was going to look at apartments with us, but she had to do something with her dad for Fathers day and she had expected us earlier. As a sidenote, I did call my dad, because he was also in Anchorage, and he didn't have time to do anything for fathers day, so we are going out to eat Tuesday for lunch. We ate at Royal Fork and then went apartment hunting. I didn't look at half cause they were in bad neighborhoods, and then another quarter cause we didn't have time. We left town at 7:30 PM. We stopped on the way back and took a nap (cause Aaron hadn't slept at all since saturday afternoon). Then, after only an hour nap, Aaron drove the rest of the way home. I had a fun trip with him. :D

I got home at 4 AM. I went almost straight to sleep and didn't wake up until 4:30 PM, besides the two phone calls I got. Work wanted me to come in at 11:30 to help out, but called back and told me that they had someone, because I told them I would if they didn't have anyone. My room is a MESS because I packed 4 boxes and my stereo and microwave and fridge all in 2 hours. I also took my desk and gave it to jackie and took her desk outside. Aaron packed it all into the trailor cause I had to get to work. So, tomorrow, I want to go to eat with my dad for fathers day, get a new license cause I lost mine, clean my room, hang out with Sigourney maybe, and hang out with ben in the evening. I also need to finish filling out the Boston's application and fax it to them. Busy day. :D

Working in the Bar

Okay, so I am working on the Bar side of Boston's now, and i absolutly love it (sorry parents). Its alot more fun, and I make ALOT more money. Last night it was slow according to the bartender, and I made $80 in 5.5 hours. I spent most of the night talking to this one table, because they were there all night and really talkative. Most of the customers are alot more friendly in the bar. In the restaurant, the idea is to get in, get food, and get out. IN the bar, most of the people come to hang out, so they want to talk to the waitress, which in turn, gets me better tips. :D Plus, I get to wear a WAY cuter outfit.

Anyways, enough about that. For people if they want to stop by... RACHEL... my schedule is Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night. So, if someone... RACHEL... and her friends are going out Friday or Saturday night, Boston's has a fun bar... kinda. :D Then I could be your Bar Server. :D

The whole Travis thing is mostly over. I just stopped talking to anyone about it, except I mentioned to Lori to let me know if he said anything about me. She said she noticed his lying too. Either way, I am done with it. Travis wants to be friends again, but I keep having to tell him its going to be a long time. He wants me to forgive him and get over it. I think he still thinks he was right, but that he's sorry about yelling at me and harassing/threatening me. I don't think he sees the lying as a problem. He called Aaron like 4 times a day every day until Sunday, when Aaron FINALLY called him back.

Other than that, not much doing. I called Jordan last night, and she has signed a year lease with her boyfriend. I had been planning on not staying with her, but then I realized how expensive everything is on my own. I guess I don't really have a choice though. She was the ONLY person I could think of. Yesterday I had all this stuff to get done and didn't get anything done. I can't figure out how my productivity works. Why am I TOTALLY ON some days, and then do NOTHING others. I get it someday. :D

Things are getting out of hand

So, Tuesday was my 1st day off. I got up pretty late, and hung out around the house. Got a few things done, like depositing money, etc. Before I went to my dads to do laundry and watch the movie, I visited Aaron. I told him to read my blog, and he did. He was not happy about the idea of me going early, but I think he just knows he would miss me. I did watch a movie, but doing the laundry didn't work out cause the landlord at his place had unplugged the dryer/washer to use the plug in and we didn't want to mess with it. The movie was okay, not so great. I talked to my dad about leaving early. We decided together it is probalby the best choice I have.

Wednesday morning I had to go to work again. I was planning on talking to Travis, but I just put that aside forthe end of work. All day he bugged me about what was up and to talk to him. I told him every time that I would talk to him later, that I didn't feel that Lori should have to pay me to sit there and talk about this with him. When I had NO customers, I was being all productive and deep cleaning stuff. I was proud of myself. Travis was going to leave, and said to call him. I didn't want to do this over the phone so I talked to him then.

At first, he gave these excuses about why he didn't want them. I don't know why. I told him that didn't matter, he tried to explain that the date wasn't really a date, it was supposed to be a "hangout." Then, when I told him that wasn't hte part I was mad about either, it was the lying, etc, he basically said they were lying. We argued for a while, going back and forth, getting nowhere. I told him I didn't believe him cause he does lie, etc. He was pretty mad that I had gone and told Sari that he was a liar the other day.

When work was over, I called Aaron. He stopped by boston's while my last table was finishing up. Sari and Celia got to work, and mentioned to me that Travis had come BACK to work Monday and told them that he had tlaked to me and I had been joking about calling him a liar and I had apologized about the whole thing. I didn't "forget to mention" that part in my last post. It just DIDN"T happen. I didn't even apologize on Wednesday. We were all laughing about it, because he thought it was funny that he was trying to get away with all this. Kym overheard us, and asked to talk to me. Kym asked me if Travis had a girlfriend. I told her that he did and it was their 3 year anniversary the other day. Kym was a little shocked.

After that, Aaron and I left. We went to Aaron's house for a bit. We ended up going 4-wheeling at Birch hill, which was fun. When we got back, Bryce and Aaron wanted to go eat. We went to Chili's. That was fun. Aaron came over and we watched "The Davinci Code" excepts its from Korea, so I couldn't read the subtitles, and some parts were in french, and not english. It was okay, but i fell asleep towards the end.

Today was my other day off. I was going to get up early and go do my laundry, but I slept in. I went to my dads to do laundry, did a couple errands, came back to my dads, and my clothes weren't dry. I went and did errands for him, and they still weren't dry (I had put a huge load in there and it had to be on low). I went home for a little while. When I was at home, Travis called me. He asked me what was up with me "talking S***" about him at work. I told him I didn't. He asked me why people were calling his cell phone to tell him that I did. I told him I didn't know. Aaron called, so I told him I had to go. I talked to Aaron for a few minutes, and then went back to my dads. The clothes were finally done. :D

I came back home to wait until Aaron was done with work, etc. Travis had called me 2 times while I was at my dads. I called him back, and he didn't answer. I left a message saying I was returning his call, if he wanted to talk to me. He called back a WHILE later. He yelled at me for about half an hour about me getting in his business. A lot was said, including "if you are going to make life hard for me, I will make life hard for you at work" which he apparently doesn't consider a threat, because he said later he "never threatened me". He kept insisting I was talking crap about him, and I kept telling him I didn't. It also came up that I didn't consider him a friend anymore. That surprised him for some reason. I don't know if he has alot of friends that Threaten, Harass and Lie to him. I try not to.

Anyways, finally, towards the very end of the conversation, he randomly apologized for yelling at me. I wasn't sure why, because for the last few minutes, I hadn't said ANYTHING new. Either way, it didn't seem very sincere. I called Aaron, and went to his house. While I was at Aaron's house I decided that Tomorrow at work I'm going to talk to Lori. Not about EVERYTHING and I won't even use names (I came up with that part later), but just let her know that SOMEONE is mad at me, and might try to say things about me to her to get me in trouble, and that if that happens, to ask me about it, and I promise to tell her the truth about it, even if it will get me fired.

If Travis tries to talk to me about it, I will just tell him I don't want to talk about it anymore, and to just let it go. If anyone else asks me about him and Karrina, I will just say last time I talked to her they were dating, but I don't want to say anything more. I figure that is the best course of action. Alot of people want me to just say nothing and tell them to either ask travis, or that I don't know. The problem with that, is that Karrina is a friend of mine, and I love her and don't want people to do mean things to her. If these girls keep listening to his lies, it could hurt Karrina, or them, and I don't want any of them hurt, most of all Karrina.

Anyways, this has put a bunch of stress on me. Although I had already almost definatly decided to leave for Anchorage at the end of June, its even more sure now, because I don't want to have to work with Travis, and I don't want to have to work with Tony (I don't remember if I've mentioned him, but he grabbed my ass at work, and when I told Travis about it, he supposedly told Lori, but nothing ever happened about it) and they work opposite shifts. Doesn't leave much time for me to work. It will just be alot easier for EVERYTHING if I leave now, and then Aaron comes down mid-august. :P

Dilemma

So, anyone who has read my blog since my old apartment knows wny I moved out. She was smoking weed in the apartment. So, when I moved into this place, I explained that to my new roommate, that that was why I moved out, and how upset I was that she smoked weed in the house, and it stunk up the whole house, etc. When I moved into this place my dad was really excited because he believes the fact that she is so clean will be a good influence on me.

Well, every now and then I'd come home and it would smell like weed again, but the first few times, I dismissed it and me going crazy. Then I started to smell it more and more, and realized that I have run into the same problem that I had at my old place. My current roommate ALSO smokes weed in the house. I have come home before and the farthest I've ever smelt it is in the hallway. Well, tonight when I came home, I could smell it ALL the way at the door as soon as I walked in. I can still smell it in my room, although barely.

The Dilemma comes in here. I don't want the same thing to happen that happened at the last place to happen again. It was a big hassle. I have no way of knowing how to get ahold of the landlord, and even if I did, from my understanding, he wouldn't really care anyways. He might even tell my roommate that I talked to him about it, and then I have no place to stay. I don't really have anywhere to go until the end of the summer. The other option is to just deal with it, ignore it, etc. Thats pretty much what I did last time, and look where it got me.

The only option I can see is moving to Anchorage early. I could Transfer to Boston's now, get an apartment there now, and be there for a month and a half without Aaron. I don't know if I can handle that... I might be able to, but I'm just not sure. Part of me wants to just so my roommate can all of a sudden have to pay more each month for rent cause I'm gone. I almost wish the other girl hadn't moved in, cause then she would have to pay the full 750 by herself. Yes, I'm bitter. :(

I would talk to my dad about it, but I'm not sure if i want to. Not only is he SO excited about me having a clean "supposedly responsible" roommate, but then I would have to move, no matter what, because he was SO disappointed before when I lived in a house where that was going on. If I stayed here and he knew my roommate did that, then he would be disappointed that I am staying. I could live with him for a two and a half months, but I cannot, although few know the reasons why. I cannot really think of anyone else I could live with for the rest of the summer.

I guess I will just talk to Aaron about it. If I moved at the end of June, its only a month and a half, and although I would miss him more than anything, I could see him if he visited, or I visited here, and it would be a good test of our relationship and love. I really hope if thats what I have to do, that it can handle it, because he means the world to me.

Anyways, Ideas anyone? Please?

Mad at Bostons, Mad at Travis, So, I don't like work anymore. :(

Sorry I didn't post over the weekend. Aaron was over here a bit, and he hates sitting here while I post. :P Lets see, Friday I went to work, and didn't get to finish my last table until about 5:15 or 5:30. I didn't clock off until 6:15 because I needed Lori to discount my food from the morning. She was standing there "babysitting" Jared because he couldn't separate this check by himself. She walked away once to answer someone's question, like 3 feet, and he was like "Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori..." and was mad at her for walking away. He's not usually that bad. Anyways, FINALLY she got a chance to discount my food. I did my cashout and clocked off.

I had worked 7.25 hours. I needed them to adjust my time, because they were going to automatically take 30 minutes out for a break I didn't take. I asked Betsy because Lori was busy. She started grilling me about why I didn't take a break, and then why it took so long to cash out. Finally, she was like, "ask Lori." So I asked Lori, who asked me the same things. She told me to write her a note and she'd do it later. I told her EVERYTIME I write a note, it doesn't get done. She insisted she'd get it done. I was really mad they didn't want to do it at first, and then had to wait around for 15-30 minutes to get my paycheck cause they were busy.

I dont really remember what I did Friday night. Saturday morning I went to work and had an okay day. Lori still hadn't adjusted my time, but she said she still had my note, and she would get to it. After work, I went to my uncle's for dinner, and then to Aaron's house. He wanted to go 4-wheeling, but it was cold. Once Bryce came home, us and Grundy went to Denny's, then rented a movie. It looked like a TOTALLY campy, corny movie, that we would laugh at and it wouldn't be scary. It scared me a bit. I was complaining about not being able to sleep. I was getting ready to go home, and give Grundy a ride, when Aaron got ready to go. I asked him later why he decided to go (because he said he wasn't going to spend the night cause I had to get up and it was his ONLY day to sleep in). He said so I could sleep, cause I was going to be scared. It was really sweet of him.

Sunday morning, he took my car, so we could sleep a bit longer. I went to work, and my time still wasn't adjusted. I didn't realize it until the end of my shift. I told Betsy and asked her to change it. She told me she wasn't going to change it cause she talked to Lori on Friday and Lori said she wasn't going to change it. I told her I talked to Lori on Saturday and she told me she was going to change it, she just hadn't gotten around to it. Betsy was like "whatever, you have to talk to her." I was SO MAD! They are having troubles at Boston's, and so they are hoping they get away with not paying employees for time they are working, and that will solve some of their money problems. Its so wrong.

I left work REALLY pissed. Aaron picked me up and I went and bought the Bra's from Victoria Secret. I can't wait to get them in the mail. We rented a movie and went to his house. He wanted to go 4-wheeling again, but I didn't want to because it was cold again (It had snowed Sunday.... in JUNE!). We ended up taking the 4-wheeler to McPeaks to get ice cream sandwhiches. It WAS cold. We watched the movie, then I came home and went to bed.

I went to work this morning, and asked Lori about what Betsy said. Turns out, she had changed it Saturday night, but on the Computer, not the time clock, so thats why it didn't look like it was changed. She showed it to me on the computer. Anyways, I was having an OKAY day besides low tips, etc. Kristin came into work and wanted to talk to me. We talked while I was cashing out. Apparently Travis had told Kym to ask her out on a date. Also turns out, Travis had told Kristin that he wasn't dating Karrina anymore and that his mom was sick, so his girlfriend was living with her.

I was REALLY mad. I was going to talk to him, and Celia had overheard part of our conversation, I think. She told me that her sister (who works in the kitchen) Sari was talking to her about Travis. Travis had told Sari the same thing about Karrina, and that I was lying to everyone at work about it becuase I was friends with her and wanted them to get back together, or I was in denile about the whole thing. She also said that he keeps calling her outside of work trying to get her to go "hang out" with him, and then when she FINALLY says okay, he blows her off.

This made me EVEN MADDER! Not only was he acting like he didn't have a girlfriend so girls would say they would go out with him, but now he's telling people at work that I'M lying about it. My legs were shaking I was sooo mad. I told Sari before I left not to believe anything Travis said because he's a liar, and I was definatly going to have a talk with him and probably his girlfriend. She told me she was going to talk to me about it, but Celia had told me first. I called Aaron and asked him to come over since I was so mad about it, even though I had somewhere to go.

He came over and I told him about it... I was still really upset. I called Karrina and asked if she was going to feast. She didn't know about it, but she decided to go. I got ready to go (although I almost didn't go cause I was tired, but I needed to talk to Karrina and I had invited her, so it would be mean to not show up after that). I casually was talking to her during feast about whatever, and was going to talk to her after feast. Turns out it is her and Travis's 3 year anniversary tomorrow. I couldn't tell her about it, with that.

I don't know if its wrong not to tell her, because "technically" he isn't cheating, and although I think what he is doing is wrong, he could be joking etc. I called Aaron when I got home to tell him. Apparently Travis had called him and told him half of the story (cause he knew I was mad at him), Aaron would say what so he doesn't get in the middle. He said he was joking about some of it, I think. Anyways, Aaron told him I hadn't told him anything (so he wasn't in the middle). I told Aaron that I am going to talk to Travis next time I see him and tell him if I hear even ONE more story like that, where he's asking girls out, saying he's not dating Karrina anymore... etc, that I will tell Karrina about it.

I'm still REALLY mad about everything, even if he was joking, its not only funny, but NO ONE knows that he's "joking" and I know he lies to me too, so it doesn't give me much faith that he's only "joking" here. Oh well, enough venting. Sorry guys, I hope I didn't do any name calling on here. If I did, point it out. I'm trying not to, but its hard when I'm so mad. Thats about all. Aaron is 4-wheeling. I might make deviled Eggs tonight, while I wait for Aaron to get done. :D

Productivity Down, but not much.

So, I wasn't nearly as productive as yesterday. I woke up late, because of a power-out. I didn't feel like doing anything right away, so I watched a movie. I didn't WANT to work out, but decided I needed to. That was tough cause I'm still sore from yesterday. After that, I took a shower. I got done and Aaron wasn't done with work yet, so I went to eat. He called and I went to his house. Before I left, I met my new roommate. She seems nice enough. I'm sure she has heard alot of bad things about me already, but hopefully that won't become a problem. LOL! What a pessemist I am.

I got to Aaron's and we called and got directions to Kristin's house. We were about to leave when travis stopped by. He was all mad cause we didn't invite him to go with us. He was joking about it, but I think he was hurt by it. I tried to explain I didn't INVITE anyone. It was supposed to be me and Aaron and Krisitin, then Halley said she wanted to go, so I said SURE. Then Aaron asked if Bryce could go and I said SURE. We asked travis then if he wanted to go, but he was busy. Apparently this girl from work called him and wanted him to give her a ride on his 4-wheeler.

We got up to Kristins, way off the main road. There are some NICE houses up there. HUGE! Hers is huge too. She complained that sometimes, when you are alone, it is too big, and she doesn't like that. Anyways, we went to find some trails and almost every trail would dead end either in someones yard/driveway or into something we couldn't bring the 4-wheelers (like trees to close together). After only about an hour we were back at her house. It was still fun. I had dust ALL over my face and in my eyes because we went on the roads quite a bit. :P

Aaron and I stopped by and bought the last of our "nenana trip money" on dinner. I shouldn't be writing about much more eating out now, cause that is gone. We went back to his house and couldn't find anything to do really, so I came home. Tomorrow morning I have to work. I want to make alot of money because Victoria's Secret is having a sale, and I REALLY need Bra's. I have needed them for a while, but I only have one that I will wear that isn't broken, and I need more than that. It is a really good deal (like 2 bra's for the price of 2 or 3) and free shipping. :D

I get my paycheck tomorrow, and June has 3 paychecks, so one of them is like free money. I'm not going to run and blow it, like I usually would, but I might use it to buy these bra's. The other two will be for bills. I don't even have ANY bills due until the 18th. :P 7/18 I have to start paying back my student loans or ask them to defer them. I was thinking of taking some classes at UAA if I could afford it, but I don't want to ask them to defer them unless I"m pretty sure I"m going to take a few classes. I will have to talk to my dad and figure if I will be able to afford them. :D

Productivity to the MAX!

So, I am Super proud of myself. :D I really am. Yesterday (Tuesday) was one of my days off. I got up around noon cause Aaron called. He had a dentist appointment and wanted to know if I wanted lunch after. Seemed weird cause usually I'm not allowed to eat after the dentist, but if he can, then sure. We go to Wendy's. YAY Wendy's. I'm so glad its open again. Their fries weren't too good, but the service was super fast. The line was really long, and we got in and to a table with food in like 5 minutes. Sweetness. I took my own car so he could go straight back to work. After wendy's I went to Fred's to get some cleaning stuff and deposit some money. I am not up to $150 at AkUSA, on its way to paying back my dad and Aaron. :D

I deposited some money at NSFCU too. I stopped by the Post Office on the way home and picked up an envelope and stamps to Mail my mom's mothers day gift. Now, no ragging people. I sent her a card, and then thought of a sweet gift afterwards, which will probably make her cry, so HAH! Anyways, I got home and was supposed to hang out with Kristin Norman, who is back in town after moving to Georgia. She wasn't ready yet, so I cleaned the entry-way (like swept and then scrubbed on my hands and knees). After that, I noticed the porch was super dirty, so I swept the entire porch, steps, and by the front window. I even knocked the dust out of the doormat. :D

After that, Kristin called, and we went to Wendy's. I didn't buy anything cause I'm not eating out. I got to see her baby and her and her friend Lenaea (spelling is SO wrong there). I ate leftovers at home (hey, it was leftover steak, so its not bad at all!) and put my hair in pig-tail braids cause we were going to go 4-wheeling. I went over to Aaron's house, and he was snuggling up under his blanket. He wantd to nap. I was surprised cause I thought he wanted to go 4-wheeling, but he wanted to nap. I watched TV for a bit, and played a computer game for a bit. Eventually, he woke up. We went to the store to get his letter mailed off to get his transcripts sent to UAA, and he went grocery shopping. After we got home, we decided to go to my house.

We rented two movies, and watched one before going to bed. He also made a fort (yes, my 20 year old boyfriend made a fort with a sheet and rubberbands and tacs). He had to get up for work on Wednesday (today), and I had to work at 11:30. I worked till about 4, only making $40. It was DEAD. I had some nice talks with Troy, the manager, cause he hasn't managed in a while, so he's been too busy to talk. The cooks were ridiculously slow part of the times. Corporate is coming though, soon, which menas work is going to suck for a bit, with all the cleaning. I let Taz work the last hour instead of me cause it was so dead.

I went to Fred Meyers and bought groceries for home. I'm not eating out anymore, for at least a week, and then only if I feel I must, and only once a week. When I got home, I put the food in the fridge, organized all my old food in the fridge, found some of Nina's food and threw it away (after I confirmed it wasn't Jackie's, cause that would have been bad), moved half my food from the pantry to a cabinet, and even cleaned out the cabinets before I put the food in. After that, I worked out (YAY FOR ME!) and then called Aaron. I got read to go and went to his house.

He seemed tired again, but decided to go 4-wheeling. We went to Birch Hill at Ft Wainwright (after he got a new truck battery at Sears and changed it in the parking lot). It was TONS of fun. After we were done, we went to WalMart, and then to Barnes and Noble. He didn't come in with me cause he didn't want to, but I went in and looked at cookbooks. My dad is going to give me his, cause I couldn't find one (they have WAY too many) and he has one I'd probably like. We went back to his house, and we were going to watch the other movie, but he had to do something with his truck. While I waited I watched TV.

When he came in, we were going to start the movie, and RIGHT as we were going to start the movie, Travis called. THey were talking for a bit, so I went to the kitchen. As a sidenote, these boys NEVER do dishes. They are boys. Its okay, but there was some mold in the bottom of the sink, so I felt like I HAD to do dishes. I didn't mind, and I figured it would make Aaron happy, and surprise him. Does anyone recall what happened last time I surprised him? (The fish?)

He came in and got mad at me cause I wasn't watching the movie with him cause i wanted to finish the dishes. I told him to watch it without me, but he didn't want to. I told him to help me so they got done quicker, he didn't want to. He called me Jackie cause he felt I was lecturing him. Of course that made me pretty mad, but I wanted to finish the dishes. Towards the end, he came in and talked to me, and apologized. He waited for me to finish, and then we went in and finished the movie. Just so no one tries to save me from the EVIL boys who MAKE me do dishes, I didn't mind doing them, no one asked me to, it was a favor, so no one get those ideas. :D

Anyways, now I'm home and going to go to sleep. I'm going to try to clean the bathroom tomorrow, and maybe the rest of my room (the desk still needs to be cleanedl, and vacuuming would be nice. :D I will have to take down the fort though, cause it gets in the way. Sorry Aaron. I am supposed to go 4-wheeling with Kristin and Halley and Aaron tomorrow after he gets off work, but I also promised rachel if she called that I would immediately help her, which I will, so I may have to postpone that if she wants it. (The IRS screwed her over... Rachel, I will help, I promise, Love you!).

I wanted to make a completely unrelated oberservation I guess it would be. I realize that sometimes I've gotten upset about someone and used my blog as a way to VENT, because it felt like it was a way to get all the anger out without backbiting or hurting anyways. I think it is like that, but then after the whole thing with my roommate, I realized that if someone who I was "venting" about stumbled across this blog, they might be extremely hurt. I would feel really bad about that. My blog is no secret, so its not like someone would have to go hunting for it. ANYWAYS, I was thinking about it, because I really still need to vent. It has helped me get over alot of stuff. I think what I will do is try really hard to only relive the incident, and how it made me feel. I will try to avoid name-calling and other possibly hurt-ful things. That is what I tried to do during the whole blog about the incident with Jackie. I would relay interesting things that I read on her blog that pertained to me, and relayed the incident, but tried to call her names or say some of the things I was thinking about her when I was mad. I tried to relay how I FELT about it. I think thats very mature of me, but mabye not. LOL! We'll have to see how it goes. If anyone notices me using name-calling, let me know, so I know and then can try to do better the next time around. :D
