So, my dad is coming to visit today and staying until I leave for work tomorrow (12-6 shift). Should be fun! I have about an hour until he arrives, which means I have that same amount of time to clean the apartment because, surprise surprise, it is a mess.

Go go go!

So, watching Bridget Jones' Diary because it's the only thing on and I have an hour or so before I want to head out.

And suddenly James Callis is on my screen and my day is made!

I had totally forgotten he was one of Bridget's friends.

I have the day off! Sort of!

There is a staff meeting tonight so I have to go in for that from 6-9 (hopefully not longer) but I have the rest of the day to myself. The rest of my schedule is a lot of opening shifts (Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday), one closing (Wednesday), and Tuesday off.

Anyway, I do have a few things to get done today.

- bake bread thing that will be my lunch for the week
- do the dishes
- put clean laundry away
- any other cleaning if I have time/energy

Remember, remember, the fifth of November.

To-Do List (since it is my day off)

- lunch with Bruce
- drop off passport papers
- talk with Liz about full-time status and Boxing Day
- begin writing script for class
- go to class
- watch V for Vendetta



But first...sleep.

Obligatory who is in trouble post!

I only have two that I am worried about, River and Taylor, because they can't have leniencies this month. So if you have anyone who could reply to their last posts, here and here, I would be forever grateful! Edit: Okay, only need one more thread for each of them!

The only other things I have to get done are a post for Oscar and 2 threads/1 post for Hayden (I have 2 threads in the works already).

I have been cleaning and going through some old mail that I hadn't opened yet. One was from Rogers, telling me about their new service.

TV Call Display. So when the phone rings and you're watching TV, you can see who it is without getting up to actually look at the phone.

Wow.

Mmmm. I just made this and it is DELICIOUS. I didn't quite get it browned enough, I think, and I didn't have quite as much butter as called for but it turned out lovely anyway. Too bad I don't have any vanilla ice cream.

...Michelle Forbes just showed up on Lost.

This of course means that now everyone is REALLY screwed.

(Yes, I'm going to finish season four tonight/this morning. Season five is already downloading)

TWO DAYS OFF, OMG!

And the best part is...they probably can't call me in because if I get another shift I will probably be going into overtime. Hurrah!

Not sure what I am going to do with myself, other than cleaning this hellhole of an apartment (it is really bad right now gais!). Probably watch some more Lost (very likely even finish season 4 @_@!). Also I want to do lots and lots of writing and RPing because I haven't been in the mood f much lately and need to get into gear (especially if I don't want to be screwed come the end of the week for Himitsu).

Oh and eat the junk food I bought for myself because I have time to chill and eat it. Excellent times!

Live update time!

My presentation went well. I didn't have much time but we were only supposed to take a couple of minutes (most people didn't) but there was genuine interest in the idea and that makes me happy/confident/and all that good stuff.

I'm working tomorrow but then I have two days off in a row! Wow! And I can't actually get called in because taking another shift would result in me going into overtime probably.

This is especially nice since my last day off was the 14th. Though some of my shifts this week were only 4-5 hours.

Marian came over to watch The Plan tonight. It was pretty cool. Not quite as earthshattering as expected but good. And it didn't screw over my Big Bang fic that probably will not get done on time that much.

Though it needed some Laura in it :(

Just finished watching season three of Lost.

In other news, I need to focus on my one-page pitch which gets handed in tomorrow. I am still not 100% convinced of what idea to go with though which is, well, pretty frustrating. Also I think we are presenting to the class and that makes me SUPER nervous @_______@

Also I have been getting headaches for the last couple of days and I would really like that to stop.

For awhile now I have been thinking of dying my hair because I was a bit tired of the blonde look. This morning I actually did something about it!

( Pictures of my hair, plus more guinea pig cuteness! )

Today was actually a pretty awesome shift. I don't know why but it just went quite well. Possibly because I was in fitting rooms and I love fitting rooms.

Though there was some insanity with not having management on the floor a lot, which included a brief stint when I was acting MOD, sort of. Which is uh...just a little weird but hey, it works.

I'm glad I don't have to go in tomorrow until 5:30. Much nicer than a four o'clock shift (especially since I probably should do laundry in the morning).

Now, to see if Facebook photo uploading will work for me so I can get the pictures up there as well.

Alright, I've put this off for a few days. Let's see how I'm doing.

( Himitsu activity check )

Blarg.

So for the next two days the schedule I posted can be disregarded. I am now closing tomorrow (I took Marlena's shift while Karen took my old one...a bit complicated but it all works out in the end, I guess?), so 4-10, and then I have a 5:30-10 shift on Tuesday. Which means, yes, I have no days off this week. But I think it will be okay. Hopefully.

Money is good.

Bah and now work wants me to come in earlier and I said I could get there for 3 but now it means the food I was cooking will have to sit un-cooked for a couple of hours because I don't have enough time to finish it before I have to go. Blah.

I also need to figure out something else I can make to eat since I haven't had any food all day and was looking forward to this meal -_-

I just got called in to do a 3 hour shift today, which suits me just fine really since I don't have a great desire to work today.

I have a lot of opening/early shifts this week. 10-4 tomorrow, Tuesday I have off, 11-5:30 Wednesday, 10-5 Thursday, 11-5:30 again on Friday, and then I have a 1:30-close on Saturday. The computer scheduling program does now think that I am full-time which is nice because it means it will hopefully start scheduling me for 30+ hours a week.

Not much else going on of any great news at the moment. I need to do a one-page pitch for my screenwriting class about my television show and I'm super nervous (and also on idea three for what I am doing). Also Husker continues to adapt well to things and I finally have a litter box for her to try and properly train her for it (and so far it seems to be working).

Finally I have pictures of the piggy to share, hurrah!

This actually turned out to be quite a bit of work getting them posted here because all uploaders suddenly decided to hate me. But hey, I've finally started to break away from Photobucket which is nice because it SUCKS.

I haven't checked into my video game progress for awhile but since I've actually picked up my DS again after not touching it for like, a YEAR, I thought I would find this old post and update it!

Back from Thanksgiving celebrations. Had a pretty lousy shift at work today but I really can't remember any of it anymore because my guinea pig is INSANE and ADORABLE. Seriously, she and Elphie are on the couch and she keeps jumping around, probably trying to play with Elphie, except that is a BAD IDEA (TM) so I have to keep stopping her. Silly creature.

I still do not have my camera to take pictures. Which is even worse considering the two of them were actually lying side by side earlier today. I am going to start really bugging Stepfanie to get this back to me ASAP >:O!

And now time for new HIMYM hijinks!

Husker is now in her more permanent spot, on my kitchen table. I don't really use it for eating much, it just sort of holds dirty dishes. So now it has a guinea pig instead. The main reason for the move is because I was finding the bathroom a bit colder than the rest of the apartment which isn't good for small animals, I would think.

Obviously this means she and Elphie have now sort of met. Elphie was very good about it, just taking a look at her then backing off. I'm hoping she remembers Sam's piggies. Husker hasn't done too much but she was beginning to get settled before so hopefully she'll be able to continue to adapt just fine.

Still don't have my camera back but I just found Stepfanie on Facebook so I can harass her there! Pictures will come the minute I can get them because Husker is very cute.
