• 09/27/04 (08:20 PM): Went to Watkins Glen yesterday with Mary, Orion, and Sara. We had a great day and the Glen was gorgeous. Beautiful fall weather, good drive, great company... what more could you ask for? Oh, how about photos?

  

• 09/26/04 (12:34 AM): Mary, Sara, and I chilled tonight. It was great fun although Orion did not want to sleep... as usual. But, I was thinking about ex-boyfriends and a topic of conversation we had. What is it about ex's that stop and make you think "What the heck was I thinking." Like seriously, all my ex's have been completely wrong for me... I would be miserable with them. Then years later you thank God that bastard broke your heart or you gave them an excuse to call it off. Because, once love enters the picture, it's so hard to see the things that are wrong. Why is it that it takes time to see those things? Why can't you see someone was wrong for you all along? Then, the thoughts and memories haunt you and you can't get away from them... Carrie on Sex in the City once covered an episode on that. Just out of the blue you have a dream, or bump into them, and then all those bad feelings just come rushing back even though you completely forgot about the person and you find yourself angry at them for no reason, when really your angry at yourself for thinking about it. Then your head cools and you remember how very very bad they were for you and how miserable you were and how happy and grateful they are not in your life... I wonder if the same crap happens to guys with ex-girlfriends, or if it's just women that are mental.

• 09/24/04 (11:34 PM): Car, so far so good. I still have not taken a single picture of said car. Amazing since I carry my camera with me at all times. I noticed today that the moron working at the car place, wrote the wrong expiration date on my transporter tags. I bought the car on 09/20, but my 20 day plates expiration date is 09/09. The stupid moron didn't put the right month on the tag. Serious, can you get that stupid? I'm just hoping that I don't get a ticket, cause that will really piss me off. Waiting for the title so I can go get this thing registered and then inspected. That will be the true test on my vehicle. I was thinking of names... lean green machine (an inspiration to lose more weight?), green sex machine (not likely, but maybe it'll change my luck?)... hmmm, not likely, any suggestions? I looked into MP3 players. I would really like to get one, however, let us see how much repairs (if needed) cost before I invest... I almost bought one tonight though, luckily they didn't have the plug for my car... or I might have! Tomorrow I work on my chair-ity chair... almost done. I've been silhouetting chairs for days at work... chair-ity.com/gallery04/

• 09/22/04 (11:24 PM): Today was officially the first day of fall. Where did Summer go? Where was the heat this year? I can't believe Summer is over, I do love fall, but I hate what's coming next...

• 09/21/04 (11:15 PM): Got back from NJ ok with the car... story to follow later when I have more energy. Just wanted to post because the sunset was gorgeous tonight... best I've seen all summer...

  

• 09/19/04 (10:15 PM): I went for a walk with Mary and Orion...
  I took a photo...

  

• 09/19/04 (11:42 AM): My cousin Adele got married yesterday! I was a bridesmaid. She looked so gorgeous and they make such a wonderful couple. I had a great time too! After the wedding we all went out for dinner (early wedding) with the family. It was great to talk with everyone and catch up. Also, I have found a car. I'm going on Monday to New Jersey to get it! It's basically the same car I had before, only this time it's green. I prefer the black, but at least it isn't white. I wouldn't want a white car, and many of the cars I was looking at were white. Hopefully I'll be able to see my Lippa or maybe I'll call up Brian from the wedding last night. I'd be fun to be able to spend a small amount of time in Jersey before I head back out again.

• 09/13/04 (8:47 PM): So, after the funeral today I went to the auto place to sign some paperwork. Come to find out, the insurance decided to total the car. I'm so bummed about my car. I shed many tears today. Insurance money will cover the loan I had out plus a little extra. Now I just need to find myself a new car fast. My gram is letting me borrow her vehicle, but I'm sure she'll want it back soon! What a shitty day/week. I'm ready for something good to happen right now...

• 09/13/04 (8:30 AM): Today is the funeral, I took off from work. I also have to call the place my car was towed to get them working on it. Luckily my grandma is going to let me use her car this week. I had some additional weird dreams last night, they made me feel kinda depressed this morning... but, considering what I have to do today, I guess it's a good day to be depressed. For some reason, deaths in my family and me getting into accidents follow each other, the last accident I got in was right before my Grandpa passed. Anything any of you could do to make my week happier, it would be appreciated. I need some hugs.

• 09/13/04 (12:14 AM): This has been one of the worst weeks of my life. Man, when it rains, it pours. On top of the death in my family, I got into an accident. I was turning left through a light in Rochester after a car that was turning right from the opposite direction, and out of no where this car came flying at me. I think the guy was trying to make the light because it changed yellow, but unsure because I was in the intersection already. He definitely didn't see me because he made absolutely no attempt to swerve or brake. I would have heard screeching tires had he tried to brake. Had he made any attempt at all to miss me, he would have. But he was going pretty damn fast when he hit me. So he hit my rear end at approximately 40 mph (if he was going speed limit, which he may not have been). I was ok, my car was not. The other vehicle barely had damage, not even a broken headlight. Just some body damage and some scratches. You can't tell in this photo, but the tire was bent towards the car at the top...

  

• 09/08/04 (9:45 PM): Today was an eventful day. We'll get the sad out first. My aunt Kay went into labor, but when they hooked her up to the machine, they couldn't find a heart-beat for the baby, he was still born. I can't imagine what she is feeling, my thoughts and prayers go out to her. I did get to hang out with Mary, she always makes me feel better. She went with me to Geneva to get my dress altered for my cousin's wedding next weekend. Dresses do not ever fit me... what a hassle. I also got to smooch on my boy, which always makes me happy. Mary got the baptism pictures back too, so I scanned one in for you. This is the boy and me, not such a great picture of the boy, but he's cute...

  

• 09/06/04 (11:04 AM): I'm on a quest for a new iPod. I can't afford to buy one, but there is this site that gives them away! It is not a scam, it's been featured in an article in Wired Magazine and was seen on CNN headline news. Basically, I sign up, refer you, and they you have to choose an offer to participate in. Many of them are free and can be cancelled. Then, I get an iPod mailed to me! Please help me out with my free iPod. I want one soooooo bad. If you are interested in helping, send me an email. Then, after I get mine, you are already signed up and can find 5 of your own friends to get a free iPod! I also reorganized my archives by month.

• 09/05/04 (11:46 PM): So bored. Labor day weekend and no Canada. Really, it's wrong. Wrong I tell you! I wanted to fish and eat curds. Instead I've done nothing this weekend except watch movies. Although I did put a coat of paint on my chair for chair-ity. Sigh. Not motivated to work on it though, not motivated for much of anything. I feel a slump comming on.

• 09/01/04 (11:23 PM): Mary had a cookout tonight. I was great fun to hang with everyone. I even let Orion drive! Boy's gotta learn sometime! Watch out mom, he's taking the stang!

  

• 09/01/04 (8:03 AM): Quick little update. Why is it that I keep having dreams about my ex boyfriends. Little disturbing. The one about Chris was that he had to tell me something, but couldn't. The one about Ben is that I dreamed he composed a "hate" book towards me. Complete with illustrations and he even had it printed and bound. In the dream I only made it half way, but it was disturbing. If I actually got a book like that I would consider the person for a mental hospital.

  Can we just say today is the first day of September! Where did August go, where did the summer go. It's all coming a hault, and that is a scary thought. Winter is peaking around the corner and I'm not prepared.
