Weekend WrapUp

Well… I had a good weekend. Bartending wasn’t too bad, and I made almost a hundred bucks in tips… so even though I was there for almost 9 hours… I can’t really complain. I figured something out Sat. though…I could make some really cool friends tending bar. : ) Folx my age.. who can’t be THAT prudish if they like to drink or serve drinks… it might be interesting.

I dyed my hair before I went to go tend… I figured if I screwed up I would be able to pick something up to conceal the horror before I had to go to work. Wellll….. I have purple hair. *sighs* My hair is really really really freaking picky about the colors/tones that it will accept…and clearly reds & purples are it’s favorites. But… At least I know now that I can dye my locks with no worries. None of them are hard and crunchy (as I have heard people saying their locks get after a good dye job) and in fact it still feels just as soft and fuzzy as before. *sighs* but it’s DARK!!! I dyed it *thinks* Cinnamon Red…and it looks more like I dyed it black (finally) with super vibrant rich purple undertones. Really….my hair is burgundy.

*sighs* So… I am going to wait for a month, then try to set up an appointment with this natural hair salon so that they can bleach my hair. I want it lighter, but I am scared about doing it at home. Unlike Rein… I can see me ending up with hair that is just WAYYYY too blonde. *sighs* Golden Brown. With slight reddish undertones. That’s what I was shooting for…not … *sighs* PURPLE!
I’m going out on a date at some point this week. : ) I realllllly wanna go and get some sushi. *smacks lips* ummm WASABI…. *smacks lips some more* I love the fact that he has gotten promoted, because now he is working the day shift which means *gasps* we can actually spend some evenings together without one or the other of us being tired as hell. Hm. Maybe we will go dutch.

My carpet is getting cleaned today, my BiggAss TV and entertainment center is coming tomorrow, and I am going to go and order my furniture Friday night. Hm… if he doesn’t have to work late maybe we can get Indian instead. : ) *grins* I can’t wait… finally my apartment is going to come all together (or at least the living room/dining room) part of it. Talk about excited! I have been spending money left and right… and it is FUN FUN FUN I tell you. *sighs* Soon it will be back to the times of simple living though.

I am trying to figure out whether to give Chef some money to help him get HIS furniture. *sighs* I don’t know. I would be giving it to him because he wants it, not because I want to give it to him. And therein lies the dilemma. Should a gift be given solely because you know that the recipient will enjoy it.. or because you will enjoy giving it and the recipient will enjoy getting it? *shrugs* I don’t know… I have until the 17th to figure it out. *sighs* I already have the rest of his stuff. A T-shirt… a big ass wrestling poster that it took me since Christmas to find (gotta LOVE e-bay), some more cologne–y stuff…and I might get him a gift certificate to this comic book store that is downtown. Hm.
Maybe that will be my valentiney gift. I’m not much of a valentine chick…I hold the firm belief that it is a corporate ploy for people to spend ridiculous amounts of money and have ridiculously high expectations that warp emotions. *snorts* I don’t like it. Usually just give a card so that if the other person is all wrapped up in it… it isn’t like I just didn’t get ANYTHING at all.
Urgh. I have a doctor’s appointment this afternoon for the coloscopy thing. *shudders* I think I shall hop on over to Yahoo! Health and see if I can get a good description of the process. Yeech yecch yeccccccchh. I’m not worried…really… I’m not.

Stay Jazzed.

Nattering on...

I like to sleep. Not always because of the pure restfulness of it (though that is one reason) but mainly because of the dreams I have. I tend not to have really big, swooping grandiose dreams of flight and magic and love and all that kind of stuff. I tend to have just…dreams of me being in situations and places that are possible, but highly unlikely. *sighs* I am not making much sense of this here…and I don’t think that I will be able to. It’s hard to translate something from the sub-conscious, into the conscious, and then into the finger tips to transcribe the emotions that I feel into words that I can still understand. *sighs* I don’t know.
Lately I have been having a lot of dreams about friends, and about me with camera in hand. *sighs* I need…need…need to get into me.

Anyhow… I’m sleepy. It’s almost 11…and I am going to be staying late so that I can get my paycheck from those damn bartending people. I was up late (and drank waaayyyy too much) last night, after going out on a date with Chef. : ) We went to a ‘eat-in’ movie theater and saw Vertical Limit. Really good movie. Had it’s shocking & gory bits, but in general it was a really really good movie. I haven’t had that much fun in a while. But…another wonderful thing happened. The place that we were at has a bar. And the bar is looking for part time bartenders… HELLO! I am looking for a part-time (hopefully night time) job with someplace in the downtown area. *sighs* It would be sooo cool if I could get a job there. I forgot to grab a application on the way out as me & chef were in the middle of a mock argument about one of the characters in the movie…but I can swing by there on my way home one night. : ) Thrilled I am.

Umm… finally getting my check from those shiesty ass people at my bartending school tonight. *rolls eyes* I went through way way too much to get this damn check, but I will be able to get my glasses using it. : ) As the ear piece of my current pair just gave up the ghost, this is a very good thing. And as my current contacts are as about as easy to put in as it is to put a cat into a hot bathtub with running water, the convenience of being able to throw on some glasses will be very nice. And besides, glasses go really good with my hair. Speaking of which… I LOVE my hair. It has been acting sooo good, it is just amazing. No more days spent re-twisting…all I have to do to it is wash it every other week, put a nice herbal rinse in it, and every once it a while tighten up the roots as I go along. Even if I sit down and do the roots all at once.. it takes me no more than 2 hours. And it’s growing SOOOO well. : ) In the morning, all I have to do is get it a little wet to shake out the funny sleep shapes it ends up in, and I am set. *sighs* love love love my hair. *does a miniature happy little hair dance*

In a little under a week I am going to be a student again. : ( Nope… not thrilled in the LEAST…but I want my damn degree so that if I so choose to change jobs, I can do it and truly will HAVE a BS in CS. : ) So that will be something that I do to entertain myself at work until May. : )

Oh…and I feel a hell of a lot better. I think I was just sick some kind of way. *shrugs* I seem to have another mild viral infection in my throat (maybe I have tonsilitis?) but other than that…all of those muscle aches and foot hurting stuff is gone. My hands still cramp up, and I am still dehydrated as all get out, but…I feel a lot better. Hopefully this will last.

I have been keeping track of what I eat and when…I figure if I can show the doc a list of what I put into me.. he can tell me where I am going wrong. Though I have noticed that I don’t eat hardly enough fruits & veggies. Though really… I don’t see how anyone could really eat the whole USDA requirements of fruits and veggies in a single day. That is A LOT of food. Hmm.. speaking of which.. I’m off to lunch.


Stay Jazzed.
