"senorita, margarita, let me hold you tight"--tim mcgraw
hey hey
well, yesterday was highly uneventful, i stayed late at work b/c i couldn't figure out the time difference b/w here and australia and ended up having to stay until 630, which is fine, traffic is a lot better then, i might stay later more often, if it means i can sleep in about 15 mins later. awesome. i'm doing all these training things for the sites i've been working on, doesn't that make me sound so important? anyways, whatever. last night i came home, watched 7th heaven, yes this show is ridiculous, but somehow i always end up watching it, then i popped in dazed and confused and tried to pack. i realized why it's so hard for me to pack, it's b/c i don't have a deadline, i live 25 miles from my parents house, i can always come back to get stuff if i forget it, no problem. so now i have one box packed and my mom has decided to take the 4-runner to the airport so even if we WANTED to move, we couldn't. thanks mom. whatever. tonight i might go get my pedicure. that sounds good. i'm tired.
so, this happened when katrina came, and it's hard to imagine i am so selfish..but i am. when it came through, i was like boo, i had tickets for new orleans at the beginning of october and i was excited because i'd never been, then katrina hit and it was pretty surreal, in fact it still is. i feel bad for only worrying about myself, but honestly hurricanes happen every year and it just seems like a bunch of rain, wind and flooding~people usually don't lose their homes, and others. of course i feel horrible for thinking about myself, but i expressed remorsed and have helped out in my own way.
so here comes rita, once again, and i am being selfish and i hope it goes away (not hit anywhere, ESP new orleans) but just fizzles so that there won't be rain during ACL! (hi, i'm an only child, welcome to my selfish world) i also hope it goes away because if it turns out bad, then jenni wont' be able to come up here. ok but this is the least of my problems i realized this morning as people are honestly freaking out and also realizing this is about to hit OUR state, and OUR state includes people that I actually know, which makes it more of a reality. I am over here freaking out b/c of raining out a concert and others are freaking out b/c they may lose their homes (well maybe not THAT serious, but still scary), not to mention those close to my heart are nearby. I will be praying for my little assilon down in galveston, kelli's fam very NEAR galveston (l*bo, isn't your fam there too?) and my cousins who are down in corpus. (jenni, i'm hoping you still get to come and i hope that your parents are cool and i hope that things don't get crazy, but i want you to be safe, so i understand) see? i'm still thinking about MY weekend. whatever. just know that i am wanting everyone to be safe and that i have 2 extra bedrooms if you need places to stay (plus the extra room at my parents:) -- yes i am offering their house)
le sigh, enough about that. the propane guy called on time and met me out there, thers' something weird with my water heater, basically they put a sign that said it was being drained and not to turn it on and he didn't feel safe trying it, because odds are if it IS drained (even though he heard water) it could explode...nice. anyways, i have to find a plumber who has to COME OUT and LOOK AT IT and TAKE OFF THE SIGN and turn a knob, ok another $50? yeah, i'm sure. whatever, i just need hot water...BUT now i can COOK and use the heater and fireplace (he told me that too, i'm like it's 100 degrees outside) whatever. soo...then i went to go try and grab the cable box from georgetown but i got lost and i was gone from work for a looong time, so i just came back, boo, i guess i'll get it tomorrow or thurs. they close at 5, so this is an issue. ANYWAYS, we'll see what the day brings. i'll prob. work a little later to make up for today's adventure and if i have time, pedicure.
peace out
and rita...STAY AWAY!
