worst month ever

well probably not the worst ever but it's been pretty bad.
things started out well. I had a wonderful Valentines day with CJ. he gave me roses and chocolates and we made dinner together and watched some tv with my roommates. so very relaxing and nice.
Then, a close friend of CJ's died. and work became stressful. and people I care about started having difficult times. and I got around $200 stolen from my room. It's been a hectic horrible upsetting past couple of weeks for me.
all of my friends are drifting away from each other. People I would get together with every week won't even give me the time of day anymore. but I guess thats what happens when you all start to get into new relationships. I'm sick of life moving forward without me. I'm stuck in a rut. I need something new to happen. something good. soon.

the new year.

I do not understand this website and it upsets me. I got an ipod touch for Christmas so I can face time with people, whatever that means. Saw sisters Lauren, Kyra and my dad on New years. Went to Aunt Lynn's for dinner on Christmas day. I havent seen them in so long, I didn't even know Uncle Phil existed. I must go over there more often. I met my cousin Elizabeth. Really, I think she is dad's cousin, but I don't want to have to think about what that means she is to me.
I won't be going to school this semester because of the price of tuition for non-resident students. technically, I am a resident of Utah now, but because I never got a Utah drivers license, they don't consider me one. I need my birth certificate and blah blah so it's an annoying process I haven't gotten around to doing. So I have decided to give my time to volunteer work. There are many opportunities I have found, and I will be going to a volunteering fair with many organizations looking for volunteers, next week at UVU. I'm excited. I'm very busy and tired all of the time. One of the department supervisors at Babies R Us recently transferred to another store, so it is sad for me, him being a friend of mine, but also stressful, since I will most likely be taking on some of his responsibilities until they find a replacement for him.
things are going very well with Calvin, aka CJ, my boy. He gave me a ring for Christmas. I asked for one to ward off other pursuers haha Utah is full of scavengers, everyone is looking for an eternal partner. quite annoying.
being a full time retail employee has turned me into a bitter angry person. I see every annoying little thing people do all of the time. my favorite thing customers do at my work is to bring a small compact car to pick up a crib... you would think that since they are married, they have purchased furniture before. and you would think that they would realize that although it is 2011, we have yet to find a way to pack giant pieces of wood in tiny compact boxes. ITS A CRIB IDIOT ! seriously, the head board is one piece. I can always tell what kind of car they brought when I start wheeling the box from the back of the store to the front. I always wait for them to look back and see me, and if they have a blank stare, they didn't anticipate the size. I also hate when I get to them and they try to grab the box... like theyre trying to get it off the dolley before I unhinge it. I have to restrain myself from reaching up my hand and smacking them straight in the face. I get a little less nice about it every time it happens. the last time, I yelled at the guy, saying "don't touch it" and then I finished with a short laugh to act like I thought it was funny, but really, I hate most of the men that enter the store. They all think they are funny. cracking the same joke I've heard so many times before. the breast pumps are the worst. I taught a breast pump seminar on Tuesday and we show a video that is pretty graphic, and this guy was walking by and making all sorts of comments like that we were watching porn. immature piece of hillbilly crap. idiots, all of them. also, just because you have a short bed truck does not mean you can fit anything in it. I hate my ignorant customers. so much.
this woman walked by while i was talking to a customer about car seats the other day, and she interrupted me talking so i cut her off by raising my voice and repeating what i said. she shut up real fast.
some of the people that come into the store should not be parents. it just blows my mind why people this stupid are allowed to have children. anyway, ami, have a baby.
the end.

tires

okay so I guess this is my first official post. Though I have no followers, no one to read anything I write. I realized that I am not any good at writing emails or calling people to let them know what's going on in my life, so a blog seemed best.
k, so I don't think I told anyone in my family but after I got back from Thanksgiving in Arizona with the family, I was driving to work (I have a car ! it runs alright and gets me to where I need to go. a wonderful first car, I love her!), and I felt the car bump a little bit as I drove. I didn't really think much of it, my car is always shaking and acting funny. But then on my lunch break, I had to run home to get some medicine for a coworker, and the car was really wobbling. I got to the apartment and got out of my car to discover that the front tire by the drivers side was flat. Well, I had to drive back to work, but was freaking out the whole time, I don't know how bad it is to drive on a flat. So I got back to work and called the Discount Tire place down the street. They said they would check the tire for free and patch up any holes there may be.
So right before my shift at work was over, I was telling a guy I work with about my flat tire and he was freaking out about me driving on it. So, though there was snow on the ground, and freezing outside, he took a break and came out to put the spare on. So I drove over to Discount Tires and I was walking to the door, and some stupid psycho idiot girl driving while on her cell phone (I am highly against this. texting especially. can't you just wait until you arrive at your destination before you answer a call instead of endangering the lives of everyone around you? you should be fully alert when driving ! selfish selfish selfish people !!!) Anyway, so this girl didn't even notice that she almost hit me. I wish I would have gotten her license plate, hunted her down, and beat the crap out of her with a baseball bat. broken her hands, so she couldn't drive or talk on her cell phone.
Well, I went in and took a seat while I waited for someone to be able to help me. It was busy because everyone was getting snow tires put on their cars. So I waited and waited and finally someone was available, I started walking up and then, at the last second, another customer snaked their way in front of me. and what do you know, it was none other than the dumbest girl alive, the idiot bimbo that almost hit with her car. oh yes, she is at the top of my list.
Anyway, skipping to it, this guy came out, looked at my tire, and came to the conclusion that it could not be fixed, so I would have to get a new tire put on. I had him check all of my tires, and we decided it would be best to get all new tired put on. So we went from patching up a hole and filling the tire with air for free, to getting all new tires. I was very not happy. anyway to jump to the end, I got the best tires I could and ended up paying $460...which thankfully wasn't the hugest deal because I had been saving up. But actually it was a big deal because there were so many other things I had to pay for. aahhhhhh
And for those of you (if anyone even reads this) think they ripped me off, lied to me to get a sale. I'm sure they didn't, we had a long talk about how they don't get paid commission, they showed me the levels on the tires and how much wear they had. And when I got the car engine looked at a couple of months ago, they also said I would need new tires soon. Also, I would much rather be safe than sorry. I take driving seriously. Don't speed, don't use your cell phone, don't play with your mp3 player. keep your eyes on the road. just don't be an idiot.
