Hi Anne!
My back feels 100% better today, thank God. I think the advil really did the trick. Actually, I didn’t even have to waste my money on advil. Both Nora and Mary suggested that next time I just buy the generic brand of ibuprofen. So much more in a bottle for a cheaper price. I hope there wont be a next time!
We’ve had another casuality at my work- Shawn. I think she only worked one day. I only met her briefly. Oh well. Shelly and Carla seem to be working out really well. The other day I showed Shelly how to close down the registers and count the drawers and she caught on almost immeaditly. Good. Only a few of us know how to close and sometimes its annoying. I mean everyone should learn how to close. And its so easy once you get the hang of it. Nora had two more interviews today and she liked them both. So hopefully, we’ll have two more workers.
Yes, that was Arnold Vosloo who you saw on that episode of Charmed. I’ve never seen it. I only know about it because I read it on one of the Arnold Vosloo websites. I just found out that a movie he is in, Zeus And Roxanne, is going to be on The Disney Channel on July 5. He has a moustache in the movie. I think I like him best bald, but I think he looks good any way! He would have hickies all over his beautiful bald head after I got a hold of him!
Yeah, I thought you would like The Man Song. The first time I heard it, I cracked up. The same singer does The Women Song too, but I can’t find it anywhere to send out. If I can get the lyrics, I’ll send them to you.
I think when we say that we are attracted to "bad boys" I think we mean "bad" in the sense of daring, bold and adventuresome. Of course we don’t want abusive men (at least I know I don’t). I want a man who is a bit dangerous and very sexy on the outside and a big teddy bear on the inside. Someone who "rides a motercycle and has tatoos" but has a gentle heart and loves children and puppies and kittens. When Darrell said that girl said that he was "too nice", I agree that there is such a thing as "too nice". I don’t know the guy at all, but does he let people (women as well as men) walk all over him? Thats a sign of being too nice. Another sign is always going out of your way to do everything for everyone. I mean, its nice to be nice but you have to say no once in awhile. I want a man who is going to respect me, but I want him to take control and put me in my place if I’m in the wrong. I mean, if something is black and I say its white I don’t want him to say "Yes, dear. You are right." I want him to tell me that I’m wrong! I think the more true and honest we are with each other, the more we will respect each other.
Do you know whats really sad about all my peers having sex at such a young age? After awhile it wasn’t even shocking to me. I got used to it. Pretty soon I was shocked to find out if someone was a virgin! I can’t even count how many girls I knew who got pregnant. Some of them had two kids- all before they graduated high school! Ok, maybe the first time was a mistake, but why on earth would you go and get pregnant again?! I don’t believe in abortion but there are alot of things a girl (and a guy) can do can prevent pregency in the first place! And if you’re not going to abstain, theres like a million forms of birth control. I went through a "maternel" period when I was about 16. I really wanted to have a baby. I thought ‘If I was dating someone and we were in love, I’d get pregnant.’ Thank God I never got that chance. If I had gotten pregnant then, my life would have been turned completely upside down. I would have to have given up so much, and that choice would have affected me for the rest of my life. Now, twelve years later I know I’m not ready to have kids yet! Someday, when I am married, thats when I’ll have kids!
I think maybe one of the biggest reasons why young girls want to have babies is because they want so badly to have someone who is going to love them. (this wasn’t the case in my situation. I just thought babies were sweet and cute and I thought it would be fun to have one. "FUN!" Good grief, what was I thinking!) If only they could grasp how much God loves them- it be amazing how many girls wouldn’t give up their virginity so quickly, let alone get pregnant. Looking back, I REALLY think God was watching over me then because I think if I had a boyfriend between the ages of 15-18 I would have made a lot of mistakes! Maybe this was all part of his "grand plan" for me.
here are my answers to your questions and a few new questions:
what do I like the most about my job?- definitely the people I work with. Also I get an employee discount and I take home a lot of "claimed" items. For example- once we were way overstocked on stationary and Nora said I could take some if I wanted it. I have enough stationary to last me 20 years!
what I like least about my job?- the demanding, rude customers
have I ever stolen anything?- I might have when I was a kid, but I can’t remember. I have a savings account and one time the teller accidently put that I had deposited $200 when I only deposited $!00. I called her upon it and she fixed her error. She thanked me for my honesty.
do I drive?- no.
new questions,
favorite Christmas songs?- O Holy Night, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, The Carol Of The Bells, What Child Is THis, O Come All Ye Faithful, O Little Town Of Betheleham, Winter Wonderland.
favorite cereal- frutiy pebbles
closest amusement park- Kennywood Amusement Park
are you a roller coaster rider- YES!
shows you watch for guilty pleasure- Married With Children, South Park ("O my god! They killed Kenny!" "You bastards!")
what would be the most shocking thing your boyfriend could tell you? That he used to be gay, he used to star in porn movies and he slept with 500 women or that he used to be a woman?- Ok, all of them are pretty bad, but I think the woman thing has them beat!
how much would you be willing to pay to see your favorite singer/group in concert knowing this would be the only time in your life that you would be able to see him/her/them (the seats are good)?- $100-$175. I know, I’m insane!
would you or have you ever date(d) someone of another race?- no. I don’t have a problem with it for other people, I’m just not attracted to non white men.
would you or have you ever date(d) someone of another religion?- it depends on the religion
how old were you when you first learned about the "birds and bees"?- I was eleven. My mom talked to me about it and I remember thinking ‘You mean a guy has to put that inside me? Ew, gross! Well, I’m never going to do that, and if I ever do it won’t be for a very long time!’ My how have things changed!
have you told anyone about me? yes
who have you told?- my family and several of my co-workers.
do you think we will meet in person someday?- I hope so!
If you could be one age for the rest of your life, what age would you want to be?- 30
well, thats about it for now. Until next time, take care and God bless!
Michele
