I am back! Busy weekend, Friday my cousin visited for a bit. Saturday we walked around and check out the bathtub festivites and then went camping for the night. Sunday was my birthday. It was an awesome weekend, lots of swimming and way too much eating - but I am not counting the weekend. Back on it today tho!

I bought 3 new shirts over the weekend - all in L!!! YAAy ME! I even got my boyfriend swimming, this is the first time in the (almost) two years we have been together that we have gone camping and swimming together! It was an amazing birthday - had so much fun. So hard to believe that I am 21 now tho! No loss for me, meaning I did not make my goal. But that's okay. I think I am almost done with setting goal dates, I just never make them and its starting to get kinda depressing. I did some close tho.

I am kinda upset, like I said yesterday was my birthday and my dad never called me. I called him this morning to ask him and a question and he still never wished me a happy birthday... I think he forgot about me :( I even said oh my sister got me a toy for the dog for my birthday and he still never clued in. I talked to him on Saturday and he never said it then either. :( all well, I am sure when he does remember he will call me, haha.

Hi everyone -

Happy belated birthday Courtnie.

I had a crazy weekend as well. Friday night I took my boyfriend out to dinner. Saturday we went out with his x girlfriend <they are still friends> I ate and drank way to much the only way I could deal with her was by getting drunk! Today is better though:)

Courtnie - sounds like a pretty good birthday weekend :) A smaller size and swimming in this heat? I don't know about you.. but I'm melting. I am enjoying it, because I know it's going to end soon. I really do like heat, so sweating? yah it's just life. heh. So with your dad? He's human, and a man.. I don't think my dad has remembered my birthday in like 15 years.

Nikki - I think the summer is made for crazy weekends!! Ex-gf's are... yah, I dunno. I've met some of the girls my bf knows, not even DATED and I feel like a whale, an ugly ugly whale. But obviously he see's something in me that he didn't see with them.

So I have an interview to be a photo lab assistant manager on Thursday, I'm kinda nervous. I haven't done that type of job in about 4 years, yikes. I just found out today that it was going to be for management, I thought it was going to be more for part time. It's going to pay a max of 12.83/hr to start, a slight improvement. I dunno.. job stuff is confusing! I'm off to read about being a personal shopper.. hehe...

Aimee - good luck with that interview. My problem was not feeling infereor to her. She is a rude witch and wilnot say hello or one word to me. It is clear she is jealous and he doesn't see it that is what gets me. I don't want to ever be in her presence again.


So my parents are at it again. I called my grandma to ask if I could stay by here for the night. I was shocked she said no you have to support your mom. So I'm being thrown into the support roll and lots of crying , yelling and just feeling real cruddy going on here. Also I have a sore throat :( I have no idea what the scale wil say but I really cant be to concerned right now.

Aimee - guess I should feel so bad about my dad... everyone is kind of upset tho that he never called, like my step dad and my boyfriend. Yes it is VERY hot, least I have air conditioning at work!

Nikki - I know what your going through. When I lived at home my mom and my step dad faught all the time. Usually it was because of something I did. My mom was always crying and drinking and I was just kind of stuck there. I didn't want to leave because I didnt want to leave her alone - she gave me the impression that I was all she had and the only reason she was staying there was because me and my sister. My mom went thru a treatment center just over a year ago for her drinking - things got better - I moved out. Now mom told me last week that she wants to leave again. It is never ending and I know just how you feel. My adivce - let it go in one ear and out the other, try not to worry about things that are going on. Maybe get a second job in the evenings to keep you busy - I loved going to work just for the fact that I got out of the house. Good luck!

Courtnie -

Thanks for your thoughts. They really do help. My mom is leaning on me as her only support. I want to scream I don't want to hear all of this!


I have a job interview tonight. Wish me luck !
Nikki

Good luck with the interview! Where is it at?

Hi -

I never went to the interview. The woman started looking for someone to watch her son 3 hours 3 days a week then by the time I was getting of the phone with her she called back to say she only needed someone an hour 3 days a week . Not worth it !
