Man, it seems like I just got up and it's almost time to go to bed. I spent the majority of this day at work. I arrived about 11 a.m. and got off at 9:30 p.m. The only good thing about that is the prep/dough is all caught up. Yay!!! I've been waaaay behind all week due to a major miscalculation I made last Sunday. The bad thing is I thought I was scheduled to get off at 8 (obviously I wasn't -- I really need to read the schedule more carefully) and the poor dog was home all alone with nobody around to let him out to pee (he was good, he held it all day!). I also forgot to take my cell phone with me. While I don't talk on it much, I do use it as a calculator and a watch at work. Man, was I lost without it.

When I was coming home from work, traffic was all backed up weird on I-70 around the Denver Colliseum. Even when we got past the blockage, people were still driving about 50 mph. It was bizzarre. I did see one dude behind me zig-zagging in and out of traffic, so I moved to the far right lane. I noticed a motorcycle was following this guy pretty close. The fucktard buzzed my bumper as he passed me. I was never so happy to notice that the motorcycle behind him was none other than one of Denver's finest. Serves the dude right. I hope he got a ticket for multiple violations. It's bad enough that you're recklessly weaving in and out of traffic and speeding, but when you notice someone on your tail, don't buzz someone. Loser.

So, I'm all by myself this evening. Marcus and Mike left this morning and are spending the night in Winter Park. I trust their mountain biking trip went well as I did not have any messages from them on my cell when I got home. The last two outings of theirs didn't fare too well.

What is up with these little itty bitty spiders walking all over my monitor? I've squished three of them just since I started this post and a couple of them last night. What's creepy is I can't figure out where they are coming from.

I'm having some terrible short-term memory problems lately. A girl at work suggested I start taking vitamin E and magnesium along with Ginko. If anybody else has any other thoughts, I'm all ears. It's getting really annoying. It's one of the reasons I never seem to get anything done lately. I start something and then kind of wander off and can't seem to remember what I was originally doing.

OK, well, I'm going to go scrounge up a little grub since I haven't had anything to eat since I ate lunch at 11 am. I've got "One Hour Photo" to watch, so I might do that in bed. All alone. All by myself.

Current mood: lethargic
I finally finished watching Stephen King's "The Stand" this morning. I received it from Netflix on September 5th of LAST YEAR! Good thing Netflix doesn't have late fees, huh? Between moving, misplacing it and the fact that it is an extreeeeemely long movie had a lot to do with how long it took.

Man, I really need to put a design on this site. It's so dang drab. Too bad I have to leave for work.

Current mood: frustrated
Sorry I haven't been around much. School is keeping me very busy. So busy that I've fallen behind at work. I really should be there now to try and catch up, but I got into it with a couple of people yesterday (drivers harassing me about stuff that was really none of their business) and now I really don't want to be there. We've been visiting various print shops around town and yesterday I went to one that does professional embroidery. I want more than anything to get into machine embroidery now. The great thing is that a lot of things I have learned or will learn at school can really help me in such an endeavor!! The only thing holding me back is time and money. I'll be doing some major eBay selling very soon.

Today we went to Fineline, the shop that prints those decals that go on the tails on Frontier Airlines planes. They make those decals that wrap around busses, racing car logos, etc. They also print all those HUGE banners that hang on the side of Invesco field. That place was pretty neat.

Well, I had really better get going. I soooooo don't want to do this today.

Speaking of my car, I got it back from the mechanic yesterday. My air conditioning pump seized up, so I've had no cool air during these record-setting heat days we've had this summer. (Don't forget I also deliver steaming-hot pizzas.) I used to laugh at people with air conditioning and called them wimps. Now I am one!
