you are steelblue #4682B4

Your dominant hues are cyan and blue. You like people and enjoy making friends. You're conservative and like to make sure things make sense before you step into them, especially in relationships. You are curious but respected for your opinions by people who you sometimes wouldn't even suspect. Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it. Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.

Hmmm, not so sure about that liking people part, but the rest of it sounds about right.

I checked out the last 20 minutes or so of Average Joe just to see who she picked. I've only been following it through the commercials I see while watching my soaps, Law & Order and such. I had a feeling the comments the last remaining average dude made while the chick was in her fat suit probably destroyed any chance he had of getting picked. I guess I was right. Still, wouldn't any girl with half a brain want a guy that didn't live with his parents? I didn't think the average guy was that bad. Oh, well. I hope that guy finds a really nice girl instead of the shallow airhead that the "beauty" seemed to be.

Current mood: determined
Sorry about that outburst yesterday. Blame it on NyQuil withdrawl, my menstrual cycle and the lack of sunshine due to the snow

I'm feeling a whole lot better today. It helps that the sun is out! I'm still totally broke, but I know I'll get through this all somehow (I always do) and I'll be better in the end for it. Finally got my butt in gear and turned in the Starbucks app today that I had meant to do last Monday. Hopefully I'll hear something soon. As soon as I get home from work this afternoon, I'll put up a bunch of junk on ebay.

I'm feeling pretty industrious today. I started cleaning off my desk looking for a receipt for a battery core I need to return (I still had receipts from last Christmas on it). I went to Discount Tire and got the nails out of my front tires so I can quit wasting change on air machines. My friend Nina had me try Tazo Chai when I turned in the app and I really liked it. I've cut a few tiles for my backsplash. Today is turning to be a decent day, I think.

The only really bad thing is that there is a horrible burning plastic smell coming from my car. I ran over a shopping bag on the highway a couple of days ago and I thought it had gotten caught under there. I looked under my car and didn't see it. Marcus thinks it is probably melted on the top of my catalytic converter. With the snow on the ground, there is no way anyone can crawl under there to see. I'll have to wait for it all to burn off or have my mechanic look at it when I get the money to get my brakes fixed. In the meantime, the smell is making me nauseous. Ewwww.

Well, I'd better get to work so I can get back home and get more stuff accomplished. Go, me!

Note to self: Start a new craft blog.

Current mood: gloomy
I'm tired, but I can't sleep. I guess I went and got myself addicted to NyQuil again. I ran out last night and can't afford to get any more. Now, when I lay down, all I can think about is having no money and a broken car and I start crying and can't stop. Now, in addition to cramps, I have a headache, puffy eyes and a stuffy head. Oh, and I've got a tooth acting up and no money to see a dentist. So, here I sit. I don't want to keep Marcus awake since he has to go to work in the morning. I am feeling like the worst loser in the world right now.

Oh, and I hate snow.

I didn't have class this morning. My teacher fell off a horse over Thanksgiving break and broke her collar bone. In a way I was relieved because I've been in a really blah mood lately and haven't done squat for this class. On the other hand, I've been in a blah mood and haven't done anything for the class. I'd really better get my butt in gear this week.

The blah mood is a result of money problems (what else is new?). It's bad enough that my paycheck wasn't enough to cover bills this time around, let alone have anything to do Christmas stuff with (I'd better get a Xmas bonus this year or I'm screwed), but I've been in denial about the severity of my financial problems and have run my credit cards up to the limits buying stuff on eBay. Now my car decided to crap out. My brakes started grinding really bad today. It makes it really hard to deliver when you can't stop your car. The check engine light came on last week. What else is going to go wrong here?

I forgot to mention the incident at Home Depot yesterday. Marcus thinks I over-reacted. I went it to get the tile to put my kitchen back together (I still have room on the Home Depot card). I was on my way to work and happened to be in my work shirt. I stopped two employees walking down the aisle to ask if they had more of a particular tile I needed. The woman asked if I had any pizzas. I said no. She smarts off with, "If you don't have any pizza, then we don't have any more of those tiles." I said, "Fine, if you're going to be that way, I'll go buy my stuff somewhere else." I grabbed my purse and jacket out of the buggy and stormed out. I swear, I get so sick of being harassed by people like this. What makes people think that just because I work in a pizza place that I get free pizza? Also, if I did, why would I give it to someone I don't know just for the hell of it? I would never think of asking a Home Depot employee (or any other employee) for free stuff. After 12 1/2 years of these kind of comments, sometimes I snap (especially when I'm PMSing).
