its my lobby also

there's no question that the Texas department of transportation needs these laws that protect the wreckers to keep the roadways clear and it does save lives

and there's no question that a wrecker is a wrecker weather public or private and these laws adhere

and there's no question that the apartments are railroaded to signing a contract that has those laws in it [as i jokingly use the term railroaded]

i know one apartment in Dallas that has no wrecker service for the last year and they have pulled a 99% occupancy rate for over a year and when there is a parking problem they raise the rent 30 dollars relieving the occupancy rate and reducing the cars its a win win situation

GRRRRRRRRRRRR

2008-07-24T19:03:15Z

Cancer:

If you truly care about someone, then you shouldn't have to work so hard at letting him or her know it. Paradoxically, sometimes it's so easy to express what you feel that others think you're not being very sincere at all. This can be quite frustrating for you. To avoid this dilemma today, don't use flattery or flowers; just stick to the facts and simply speak from your heart.

Could this week go by any slower?

2008-07-24T18:55:45Z

I'm sure it probably could but c'mon. I mean I know I don't have much to look forward to other than being broke but at least let time go by fast here at work! Goodness!

It finally rained a lil bit at my house yesterday! Yay.. well I was at the library when it happened, and my sun roof was open so the innerds of the car got a lil wet but its okay!

It was finally cool in my house it was so nice. I got in bed around 9ish.. and promptly fell asleep but couldn't stay asleep for more than a few hours at a time, that in itself kinda sucked.

I'm hoping to find someone to go to the Dragon Boat Fesitval with me this weekend. They have boat races and a bunch of asian vendors and cuisine.. I think it'd be really cool, and something other than getting drunk and being hungover all weekend.. we'll see we'll see. Oh yeah, and it's free just to attend, so even better!

Hmmm hmmm hmmm.. not much else to report right now, kinda been a boring week n what not...

Guess I should finish up my lunch time and get back to being semi-productive. *shrugs*

ps. I'd really like it if I had someone to cuddle with tonight...

On Being a Good Role Model

2008-07-24T18:14:32Z

Petra and I were out driving the other day, past the park in mid-afternoon traffic. Driving here's not for the faint of heart and I was muttering a running commentary about the suicidal/homicidal scooter riders whizzing around me. Part of it went, "Fuck man, what are you doing?" as a scooter charged down the centre line straight at a couple of scooters coming in the other direction, followed by "Jesus!" as one of the oncoming riders swerved so sharply to avoid the first guy that he nearly laid his bike on the road.

Just as well that Petra's still at the mum mum mum, dad dad dad stage and not at the mimicking everything mum says stage.

Outside? What's that?

2008-07-24T06:33:51Z

Haha, no, I do get outside. I swear. I go on runs, which I really do enjoy even though I tend to have trouble getting out the door sometimes. Last night I went on a run and the sun was setting into all that smoke and the air was still and just the right temperature for running and even though I had to park at school to avoid Craig Stern it was lovely. I just ran down Novato boulevard towards the Cheese factory, and at one point I just stopped and held my breath. No cars, no cows, no nothing, just me. It was a wonderful moment, seeing myself all alone in that big open space. I could live in that place and never see a house again and be perfectly happy.

In reality, though, I spend a lot of my time at home. I like it that way. My mom always talks about how we're all homebodies in my house like it's a bad thing. It's up to me to decide whether the life I'm living is a successful life. If that means collecting junk food in my room and never coming out for the next ten years, what's it to you, Mom?

Whatever, she tries. She's just one of those people who can only see everything how it could be better, not how good it is now. It's not like I'm really that big of a homebody, either. Well, I am, but when I was up in Crescent City and that area, I hardly wanted to sit around long. It really just depends on the people I'm with. I'm always worrying about what so-and-so will think when they realize I'm this or that way, and then I kind of realize that if I'm so worried by the time I run into them again I'll have molded myself to be neater, kinder, more energetic, whatever it is.

In other news, I passed my AP English and AP Photo exams. AP Bio... not so much. Hahaha.

Oh, and I found my camera... Like, ten minutes after I wrote that post. It was in my bag, too. Story of my life.

I have to say I was surprised! I've known for a while now that I can type really well and fast but hehe that is REALLY REALLY COOL, isn't it? ;) :P

33 Weeks

2008-07-24T02:59:17Z

33 Weeks
Originally uploaded by MPriceMitchell

Sean took this just over an hour ago. I am 33 weeks today. I probably should just give up on wearing my regular t-shirts, but I put this on when I came home from work, so it's not like I went out in public in it. Does posting it on the internet count? Whatever.

I put some other pictures on my Flickr page (link leads to my entire set of belly pictures, so you can see the progression), including some with exposed belly. I'm not usually a belly exposer in public but I figure since there's a baby in there, I can get away with it.

The pregnancy is going well. My feel are swollen and I'm still going for weekly non-stress tests, but in general I feel good, and Skeletor seems to be incubating as she should. She's not totally out of room yet - she's still kicking up a storm.

We start our prenatal classes on August 16th. We're doing one full day of prenatal class, one evening class for baby bath and massage, and one evening class for breastfeeding. Hopefully we learn lots, and more importantly, the baby stays put until we finish all the classes!

Blind? Stupid?

2008-07-24T02:27:23Z

So I have been working in a non-elementary school environment for 3.5 weeks. I have worked in elementary schools for 6 years. I have never ever been asked out while at work at elementary school. I guess that's good, because the majority of adult males are dads. In the past 3.5 weeks, I have been asked out twice at work. It's so shocking to me! I mean, this never happens to me!

Both times the men have started with questions about learning French. I should learn. They don't really want to learn French. Man #1 surpasses the limit of half his age plus 7. Do you know the rule? I haven't yet untangled myself from this web. I'm sure he's very nice. But I just don't think it would be right, he's way older than me. I should clarify, as he hasn't actually asked me out. He just wants to go out for coffee for French conversation. Because I'm a little naïve - blind or stupid - I was thinking it was just French conversation. Then I thought about it some more. Maybe not just French conversation. So I will have to be a big girl and call and say that I'm not interested in French conversation. Or maybe he could read my blog....

Man #2 walked up to the desk where I was working and started chatting about my job and the Institute. All of a sudden he was asking me for coffee and I was writing down my phone number. Now what? I don't know if I'm interested. I'm pretty freaked, actually. I guess I could be interested. Maybe. Someday. What if he calls? What if he doesn't? What do I do?

My stupidity in this case was writing down my full name! But once it was written, I didn't think that I could rip up the paper and rewrite just my first name. What would I do? Just look at him and say "Oops, don't want to give you my full name in case you are a freak posing as a nice guy?" It wouldn't be appropriate. Jaret teasingly asked if I also gave him my address. Yes, yes I did. And my SIN. And my credit card number. At least I didn't do that.

If this is how freaked out I get about giving out my phone number, imagine if I actually went on a date? I would likely implode due to the frenzy of nerves.

Can't wait for the weekend!

2008-07-24T02:02:16Z

We have not one but two date nights planned this weekend! Woo hoo!!

Friday night we're going to dinner and a movie with some friends. We're going to see The Dark Knight. I can't wait! Am I more excited about the movie or the hot, buttered popcorn and chocolate covered almonds I will eat? Not sure....

Saturday night we have a giftcard to eat at Maggiano's for our anniversary. Lots of yummy Italian food. I will probably gain 5 pounds this weekend but it will be so worth it!

Feels like I've not been out with "adults-only" in such a long time. It's going to be such a great weekend!

2008-07-23T22:57:25Z

2 posts in one day, hasn't been normal for me lately! lol

I wish I woulda brought my camera cord with me I took a video of Ellie being silly yesterday after I gave her a bath. She likes to run at full speed throughout the house during her "dry off" time. She's crazy.

It's looking kinda dark and gloomy outside, yet it JUST.WONT.RAIN. please, just open up the sky and pour on us, cool it down a lil bit, I wont be mad at all I promise.

I think I'll get to writing some letters out tonight when I get home. Not much else to do. Don't feel like going to Stampede tonight.

I finished all my work on time/early so I have a few extra minutes here to do some stuff I need to.
Go ME! I processed 104 renewals today, and god knows how many handicapped placards probably over 50.
I'm super productive (=

I'm realllly craving wendy's right now.. but I know I shouldn't get any on the way home cuz I DO have some stuff there I'm just feeling lazy. Plus it'll be healthier anyways. Damn it.

Is it just insane that I feel like the only person in the world without kids?
ALMOST everyone I know has them, is pregnant with one, or can't wait to have them.
Am I the odd one out because I don't want any of the above anymore?

I mean I like quiet, sleeping, clean kids yeah sure they're cool.
But all the loud, obnoxious, dirty, grimy slimy ones... no thanks not for me.
I'd rather clean the litter box any day.

But every once in a while I see a cute one and for 2.5 seconds my mind changes... and then I slap myself back in to reality. Oh well, just a random thought to put out there... have a good one (=

It's hard specially I'm in Oman. and if you did some thing wrong and didn't mean it, the people starts talking and gossiping about it.

I know my self really well that I'm not a bad girl. I'm tiered to be what they want me to be. They want me to be fake. some time's I feel lost and I don't know where am I. I don't want be like because I know I'll lose control. I just want to be me.

I want to step up now for my self and I've some plans for next month:

Read some books in Arabic and English.
Drawing : I'm really good at it.
Taking some pictures xD to improve my skills.
Be more active like workout and eat healthy food.
Read books about science.
Pray all the prayers, and be close to Allah* (*God).
Learn how to skate bored.
Leave all the crap about guys. I' better off.
Relax and chill.
Take care of my self.

I'll keep moving along till the end. ^_^

Only Wednesday

2008-07-23T18:45:38Z

Since I took yesterday off and it was utterly boring, all i did was lay around, eat, watch tv, eat some more, play with the dog, bitch about the heat, go to the library and then repeat all the above, I almost wish I had gone to work!

Today is going by incredibly slowly, and the people calling in are very argumentative and / or dumb as rocks.

I don't stutter, so if you listen the first time I won't have to repeat myself, is that too difficult a task for you to do? Argh.

I'm going to be super broke until my NEXT check in 2 weeks since my rent and car insurance both need to come out of this weeks check. That really sucks for me!

I'm getting really sick of this hot weather we've been having its like 10 days straight over at least over 90 degrees if not 100. My house stays at a totally UNcomfortable 83-85 degrees. The fans just blow hot air. At night it gets a LITTLE cooler, maybe 1 or 2 degrees and its so hard for me to sleep at night being so hot and uncomfortable. Ellie woke me up around 2am because she was on the bed panting so hard. So I got up and gave her some new water and ice cubes and had myself an otter pop, i also grabbed one of those blue ice packs and put it on the bed with me so I could have a lil coolness.

But I just feel exhausted like I'm not getting good, deep sleep and thats a big bummer.

Well I guess I don't have as much to say as I thought I did, it mostly just rattles around in my head till I forget about it all.. oh wells.. happy hump day everyone
