Hey all! I haven't updated my blog in a couple days because I have been on the run doing so much. My parents left at 5:00 am this morning to go to Disney World. Lucky them... oh well! CrossRoads was fun last night. After CR Nina, Lynette, and Ruth and I went to the West Chester Diner. I have to say, that was a lot of fun!!!! We ordered a lot of ranch dressing. And Lynette dared Ruth to ask the waiter if we could have ranch dressing to go. And he came back with this little tube of ranch dressing with no lid and we were like um.. ok! And then he's about to walk away and he places two tubes of ranch dressing(with lids)... it was really funny! He was a good server. And then Ruth took me back to the church were my car was and we talked for a little and then she kicked me out.... hehe! My dad's surgery is a week from this coming Monday. We find out the time of his surgery next Friday. I am getting a little nervous and stressed. I had a test on Wednesday in Math which I forgot about and yeah lets just say I screwed up.... oh well. That's about all I have done this week so far. I have to work tonight from 5:30 till 9:45 and tomorrow same time I believe. Well I will talk to you all later! love ya!!!!! take care! have a good weekend!!!!!
Today has been a weird day. My mood has changed a few times. Its like a roller coaster. I think because of all that is and will be happening. I also am feeling a little blue you could say. The day started out fine. I went to be at like 10:30 last night and then I got up at 9:45 ish. And I was the only one home(besides my cat hehe). And that was fine. My mom came home around 11:00 and she drove me to school. I normally drive myself but because of the snow it makes me a little nervous at times being it my first snow storm driving in. My second class Abnormal Psy. got out at 3 and so I called my mom and she was at her office and I had to wait until 3:45 till she got there which was ok. I didn't mind. I told her to take her time. So then she picked me up and then we went o WAWA to get coffee and a New York Times newspaper for my earth science class. My professor wants us to read the Science Times in that newspaper. So I got it. And then we went home. We just hung around and she was making dinner. I called a friend to see if she wanted to hang out but she didn't answer so I left a message. She never called me back. So I called another friend same thing. And so I was like forget about doing something now. And I ate dinner with my family and watched Jeopordy(sp) and then I was checking my email(of course their was nothing) and then my cell rings and its Tricia wanting to know if I wanted to hang out and I said yes. So she came to my house and she brought dunkin donuts. And then we watched American Idol. And obviously talked and she left at around 9:15 ish. Then I was trying to find something to watch on t.v. and I couldn't find anything so I got my Earth Science stuff to do homework. And I am almost done. I also cleaned my bathroom floor... don't ask why?! I don't even know myself. And that got me really warm in the middle of winter.... so right now in my room I have my fan turned on low. I have been feeling very weird lately. Not sick wise, but emotional. I guess because of my dad's surgery coming up it has gotten me messed up emotionally. At unexpected times I will just start thinking about it and start tearing up. One of my other parts of my mood is I feel lonely like no one wants to do anything with me. I know people are busy and all but I really love to hang out with people and its a way for me to get to know people better and the fact that I have never had a date or boyfriend. I find it hard and I feel so... I don't know! empty i guess. I feel like I am just a joke. no guy wants to have a relationship with me and I am not pretty enough. I don't feel attractive. I just find it really hard right now since you see couples all over the place and Valentines Day coming up. I just feel lonely I guess. The Winter Blues. Anyway I am sorry for blabbing on and on. Good night!
Today, was a better day. I woke up around 11:15 and did nothing. It was snowing today all day!!! The mall closed at 2:30 this afternoon so I never had to work today! I was very happy about this! I found my ring. It had actually fallen into my bag(thank god). I found it last night I believe way after I had posted saying I lost it. I have been doing absolutley nothing besides doing homework and playing on the computer and talking to people. I might watch a movie later with my parents and maybe my brother. I hope everyone is safe. And know one had to go out in this yucky weather!!!! Stay safe! Love you all!
I just wanted to say I am sorry for the way I was typing/talking. I get so angry and upset about things and then things just slip out. I am sorry if it affended anyone! I am becoming a weak person because of working at Boscov's were a lot of people curse frequently and I find myself cursing and I have tried not to curse, but everytime I stop I hear someone else say something and then it gets in my head and do it again. It's kind of like drugs. You get hooked and then you can't stop!!!
Yesterday or the day before, the surgeons office called and confirmed the date for my dad's surgery which is what we were given(Feb. 7) but the have to wait 30 days before to put on the schedule or something like that. I get so upset and sad at different times of the day but not everyday.... only when I starting to think about it or I don't have much going on. I just start tear up and get upset. I don't know who I am upset at. I know I am not upset at God. I know He didn't do anything or if he did he brought the good already! I guess it's just fear and sadness. Well, anyway please keep praying and I will update as soon as I know something new! Love you all!
Hey friends,
Today was another bad day for me. Why you ask? Lets see I lost my ring. I almost was locked in Boscov's. A co-worker was being really rude to me(practically yelling at me over the phone). Oh and yeah my co-worker I was suppose to work with called out again! This is the second day this week that I did not have a good day. And I hate boscov's. It is seriously bringing the worst out of me!!! I am tired of being so drained when I come home. I am always being told what I am suppose to do and ya know I have been there for a year and five months. I have been then their the second longest besides deb who has been their for three years! My manager has only been here for like four or five months. It really ticks me off.... I don't like talking to people above me... I know I should be but I don't feel like trying to get ahold of them because I usually on work the weekends and they aren't always there.... but any who!
I don't want this freakin snow. They say we are suppose to get 10-15"!!! My sister in laws surprise baby shower was suppose to be tomorrow at 4 and it is postponed. And I am sooooo pissed at my dpt. manager. I had asked off for tomorrow TWO MONTHS AGO!!!!!! And she puts me on the schedule and for the night shift. That just pisses me off!!!!!!!!! And another thing, people are so prejudice their. If you are not in the "clique" then they ignore you. I am talking about like the other dpt managers and the store manager. Yeah they will say hi to you and all but thats it. If you need something yeah right.... My friend was telling me she wanted to kill herself because of people at Boscov's and she shouldn't need to feel this way. And also you are suppose to pick up your checks and if you can't you have to either call ahead or write a note if you are having someone else picking it up. well she had her husband coming to get it and they wouldn't give it to him b/c of this reason and ya know NO ONE else in the freakin store listens to that damn rule because other people(boyfriends) come and get it without a need for a note or call. Now is that fair??? no. Anyways I am getting a little ticked off again about that so I am getting off! Good night!
Yes, that is what it is doing outside right now! And it doesn't make me very happy. But oh well. There's nothing I can do about it. It frustrates me that DCCC doesn't close for the night classes because Laura and I have to drive to Downingtown which is not really a fun drive to start with and with snow..... oh my gosh. I should leave now!!!!!!!!! But ya know I don't care Im not going to go because I don't want to risk anything especially since this is my first time driving in snow!!! I almost slide into the curb coming home from my 12 o'clock class and I slide past my drive way and had to go up the street and turn around. I do not like driving in the snow... it's scary!!!! Hopefully DCCC is smart enough to close down for the night because people come from all over!!! Its a communiting only community college. and it's just going to freeze on the roads and get worse.
I am not liking this cold weather, but who does like it? I mean I don't really like having to always bundle up to go outside! I love spring days when all you need is a sweatshirt and summer when you don't have to have a jacket. Someone had told me I am in the wrong place(meaning PA) since we have cold weather. Well, yes I understand that, but then I wouldn't be able to see my friends and my family. I would be very sad not to see them!
At work tonight, I had to do a lot of running around. We had to take the clothes to the register to check the prices and then color code them according to the prices. And then arrange them so it would look nicer.... it is a lot of work let me tell you!! Plus having to wait on customers at the same time. Inventory has just got done last week and we don't have any of the hand held guns to check prices with so we have to bring it to the register. Retail is not that much fun, but it pays me... not the best money but I get paid.... There are times when I absolutley do not like working at Boscov's but you know I just look at it in this way: God put me there for a reason and he will help me through it. If I am thinking this way I will have a better day. There are some days I just come in a bad mood and it just sticks, but once in a while a customer lifts my mood or a co-worker.... and I am fine the rest of the time I am there.
As my subject says it is all in God's time and there isn't really anything we(you and I) can do about that. We just have to let God handle everything even that can be hard at times! I know I struggle with that at times! I am so thankful to God for helping me through everything I go through and have gone through. At the time, you feel like He is not there and He really is, you may not know that he is there because what you are facing is to hard and it brings you pain and you are "blinded". We all feel like this at one time or another. That is when we need our brothers and sisters in Christ praying for us and asking God to help us and praying to him. I love you all! Take care! Sorry I am lecturing on and on, but its something I just felt I wanted/needed to say. Thanks for reading if you read down to here!
Wow two blogs in one day!!! hehe! that hasn't happened yet for me... Here is an update on my dad. I thank you to the people who are praying for my family and especially him. He had a catheritzation yesterday. It was like an 8 hour procedure. My mom and dad left at 7 am and came home at 3:15pm. So it was a long day for both of them. He was awake during the whole thing. He had to help the doctor. He had to breath or hold his breath or something so they could get a camera thing into his leg to go up to the heart to check everything and to see if there were any unexpected things. Which thankfully there wasn't any problems or anything besides what the doctors already knew. They stitched him up a new way where he just had to stay for like two hours instead of like another 3 hours. Technology has come along way and new ways of doing things have been comign out. It is very interesting. I ask you to please continue to pray for him and my family. I will continue to update you! Love you all!
Hey all! I had a pretty good weekend!!! On Thursday I went to CrossRoads which of course was really good. Katie, Ruth and I went to Applebees afterwards. On Friday I had breakfast with my friend Laura Farina and then we went to see Fat Albert. It was a funny/cute movie. Laura had driven me so she drove me home and then I watched A Cinderella Story with Hilary Duff(I love her)!!! It is a really good movie. And then my mom and I went to Dover, DE to see her dad and my grandfather. It was a lot of fun. I always love going to see him. The only thing I wish is that he will stop smoking so freakin much!!! Its like every second he has to have a cigarette. My mom smokes but not as much as him and my grandmom and my aunt. They are practically killing themselves. Cigarettes are SOOOOOOooooooooo disgusting!!!! Anyways.... My grandfather lives practically in the middle of nowhere. There's open fields across the street and in the back of his house. He took my mom and I out to dinner. We went to this restaurant called Cool Springs which is a very good restaurant right near his house. I had honey bourbon salmon it was pretty good. Then we came back to his house and stayed and talked for a little bit. He has two dogs. Maxine and Mary Jane. Mary Jane is very shy but very very sweet. I think she was hurt as a puppy or was abused. I don't remember. She was kind of scared but not scared. She was more into sniffing me and she let me pet her. We stayed until around 10:30 ish. And my mom and I talked about a lot of stuff. I love my mom so much! I can talk to her about a lot of things and we are both open. On Saturday I had to work at 2:30 till 9:45. Work sucked. It was kind of slow but I just was not having a good day. I was in a sort of bad mood. I was opening my dinner and the juice from the container had leaked all over my lunch box thing. As I was opening my milk it spilled on the floor..... I was not that happy then I didn't have a good day/evening as you can tell :) Sunday was a MUCH better day!!!! I did not have to work!!! YAY!!!!! Second Sunday in a row! I went to Christ Community Church this morning. Scott Allen preached this morning. It was very interesting. Trisha Allen sat next to me and I was glad to see her because I have not seen her in a very long time. Probably since last summer or her baby shower..... So it was good to see her. And then I talked a bit with people like Will, Rich and others. And then I went home and watched the Eagles play!!!! And they kicked some Viking butt!!!! It was an awesome game!!! They were expected to win!!!! GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was going to go to the Bridge but I was going to get a ride from Melinda because my car was making a screeching noise when I was driving home from work last night. We think it is the belt. We are going to take it to McLaughins on Tuesday just to make sure that's whets wrong. Then Melinda called me and said she couldn't go, something had come up and so I am at home, but I am going to hang out with her for a little probably at around 7:30 7:45. I hope all of you had a great weekend! I love you guys!
Hey all! I know I haven't blogged in a while. I have been busy with school starting school. I like most of my professors. I am taking Earth Science(mon-wed) , math wed nights(with laura!!!), World Religion and Abnormal Psychology on tue and thur. I really like my abnormal psy. class!!! My professor said we didn't need the book and not to bother paying $115 for it. He made notes from his book and he has them for us. And we can call him by his first name. My Earth Science class is sooo annoying because it is with kids who don't even care that they are in college and spending a lot of money. They just don't give a crap about school. Math is not my favorite class(as you guys know) but the professor is cool! It is suppose to be a 3 hr. class and he won't make us stay that long. He said usually you will get out of the class at like 8:45 or so. And tonight was the first night we had math and the electricity went out twice!!!! It was kind of freaky!!!! I went to Dunkin Donuts with Laura on Monday night I believe it was and it was fun. We played MASH and it was funny! And mean while I am taking pictures of Laura and she says "no more flashing" and I say "I'm not gonna flash" and we just start cracking up!!!! I said it kind of loud. But it was hilarious!!!!!!!!!!! It was a good time. On Thursday we have CR and I am excited about that!!! It's always great to see my friends!!! And Friday I have off from work. I am having breakfast with my friend(Laura Farina) and then we are going to see Fat Albert and then I get to see my grandfather that evening!!!!! I can't wait to see my grandfather. It has been probably a year since I have seen him!!! Then Saturday I work 2:30 till 9:45 and Sunday I have off and I am watching the playoffs and then going to the Bridge and I am going to church obviously!!! Well goodnight everyone(or Nikki have a good rest of the day)!!!! Love ya!
Hey all. Nikki see I am updating my post just for you!!!! lol! This weekend started out ok and ended great. I work on Friday from 6-9:45 and Sat. 5-9:45. I actually had Sunday off which was a great relief because I have worked just about 5 Sunday's in a row and I was not too happy about that. And I went to Christ Community Church this morning. I was a couple minutes late. But I got there and it was awesome as always. There was a guest speaker. Right now I can't remember what he talked about. He is a missionary from Spain I think. And so he talked about that. We ended the service singing How Great Thou Art first in Spanish which was totally awesome and then obviously in English. And then I came home had some homemade chicken and dumplings and thn spent time with my mom going to Barnes and Nobles. I bought us coffee from the Starbucks cafe thing. And then came home and hung out while my mom worked on CCD and then one of my best friends called me(Katrin) and I have been wanting to hang out with her for a while. So i went to her house for a little and then we went to her apartment at WCU to bring groceries their. And then came back to her house and then I went to Bridge which as always is awesome! But this night was totally amazing. My friend Tricia came I had invited her and she was like sure i'll come. I was happy about that and then Phil preached the kingdom of God. It was very interesting. He told us some facts and here is one of them 190 million(yes MILLION) unchurched people are in the USA. how incredibly sad is that?? My heart just yearns for them and I want more people to know the love of Christ because he will set you free!!!!!!!!! And then the closing worship was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! I even asked one of the people on the prayer team to pray for me and my family about my dad. When I came out of talking with her my friend from high school came up and stayed and sang with me for a few minutes which was awesome. I haven't seen her for like year. I graduated a year before her. And then I talked to my friend Megan and it was awesome. I was telling her about bridge and she was proud of me. I have grown a lot this year. I have learned a lot also. I have a lot of joy in what my family will be through in the next few months and I am at peace with it! Thank you God!!!!!!! God bless all of you! I love you all!
I don't know how many of you have read my previous blog, but my dad is going to be having open heart surgery. He has a thoracic aortic aneurysm which is in the upper part of the heart. He saw the surgeon yesterday. And they are comfortable with him. His cardiologist referred him to the best person in the world for heart surgeries. Which is very good and my dad looked online before he even told him the surgeons name and he came up with the same guy. The scheduled the surgery for February 7th. This is a tentative date. It may change and I will let you guys know when the date will be. I will keep you updated with this. When I find things! Just please keep praying! Thank you! Love ya guys!
