Subject: woo-hoo! it’s party time!
Hi Anne!
your bosses are out of town again? It’s Party time! (I remember a dance song that went: "There’s a party going on, I can feel it coming on. There’s a party going on right here!") I’m glad you finally got that episode summary sent out.
I had a really good time at the concert last night. There were a lot of songs Diamond Rio sings that I like, but I didn’t know they sang them. I kept on saying to Shelly, "Oh! I know this song!" No, I didn’t meet anyone out there. 
Oh well. I still had a lot of fun.
My mom really got on my nerves the other day. Ok, I’ll tell you what happened. Danielle and I went to get our pictures taken (her for her license and me for my photo id) Well, anyway you know how nobody ever looks good in their id pictures (although I think I took a decent picture with my last id) Anyway, my mom looked at Danielle’s picture and said "OH my god, Danielle, you look hideous!" Now, it wasn’t the best picture of her, but I wouldn’t say it looked hideous. Then she wanted to look at my picture and I didn’t let her and she got all pissed at me because I said no. I just wasn’t in a mood to be attacked. I mean, I know it’s not the best picture of me, but she could have said something to Danielle like, "I’ts not so bad considering it’s an id photo" or something like that. She just gets on my nerves so bad sometimes. She’ll provoke me and at first I’ll try to ignore her, but she’ll keep on bothering me until I blow up at her. Then she’ll act like "why are you so upset?" IT just really irratates me. I also hate the way she babies me sometimes. ( I know I’ve told you this before). She’ll call me this little baby nick-names and I want to say to her, "Mom, I’m fu*%in 28 years old. I’m not a child anymore!" And still living at home- it’s so difficult to prove my independance. I get so frustrated sometimes. I think I want to move out, but there is no way I can afford it. I was just in a crappy mood this morning, thinking about all of this. I’m ok now. There are just those times when, while I appreciate what I have, I think (to quote Ariel from The Little Mermaid) who cares? No big deal? I want more!!!
I’m sorry for sounding like such a gloomy guss. Let me just vent out one more frustration. Shelly had went to see Brooks and Dunn a couple weeks ago at the Post-gazette Pavilion (same place where we went last night). I would have gone, but I already had plans. Anyway, she met someone there. Actually he works there. She saw him again last night and they talked briefly. I thought to myself, "Ok, God, how many single men are here? All these men and do you think one of them would be intrested enough in me to have approched me?" Sometimes I feel as if God wants to put me in a glass case- protected from everyone. This is horrible for me to say, but sometimes I wish God didn’t protect me so much! Not even that, sometimes I wish that God would just hurry up bring my soul mate and I together! Ok, ok, I’ll shut up about that for now!
I think a big reason why I’m in such a down mood right now is because my grandma had to go into the hospital the other day. She was bleeding from her private area. There is a small tumor in her stomach that’s causing it. She isn’t in pain or anything, so that’s good. I know its just a matter of time before she passes away. I just hope she doesn’t suffer.
I really hope Sara finds another job! Is she still suspended from *****? Thank God we don’t get suspended because our register is short. First of all, we have three registers and we jump back and forth to different registers during the course of the day. So if a drawer is $10 short- you can’t really pin it on anyone. And usually the money is found in the paperwork the next day, so everything evens out. (for example the drawer might be $10 in cash because someone hitt the cash button instead of the credit button). Once I thought I accidntly gave out $5 too much change to someone and I told Nora about it. Sure enough that register was exactly $5 short.
==============================
hi again! Well, it is now Sunday morning. Last night after work me and Shelly saw the movie Rat Race. Anne, it is hysterical! You have to see it! I never laughed so hard- and I needed a good laugh very badly! Laughter truly is the best medicine. I was so stressed out and frustrated yesterday (couldn’t you tell?) and I could just feel all of that draining away during the movie.
I didn’t know you had that Charmed episode with Arnold on tape. Have you watched it lately? Dear lord, that voice! He is da bomb! Ok, I’m gonna shut up now before I get carried away!

funny moment-from Laverne and Shirley. Shirley was berating Laverne for being kind of "loose" with men (even though they were both "good girls" Laverne just liked to make out with them!) Shirley says, "You see, Laverne, I choose to treat my body like a temple. You , however, treat yours like an amusement park!"

>Do you recycle? no. I used to before I moved because it was required. It isn’t required here.

>new questions!
when you go to the movies, do you buy or bring munchies?- usually not. Danielle will usually buy a popcorn and something to drink and I’ll take a handful here and a sip there.
ok, think about all the men you’ve had crushes on and all the men you’ve dated (including Ray). If you could know what they really, truly thought of you, would you want to know?- yes, even though I’d be a bit apprehensive about it.
what do you think they’d say about you (be honest!)?- I really think most of them would think I’m a "sweetheart" and a "nice girl". I also hope that that "nice girl" quality would make me sexy to them. You know that air of mystery?
ever read an entire book (like a novel) in one day?- no, but I read Flowers In The Attic in two days. I was just so enthralled by it!

well, that’s all for today! See you soon! God bless!
