I unfortunately missed the last debate only getting to see a few parts of it. Hopefully, it'll help those who were undecided make their choice. The only thing I hope for is that we don't have the same atrocity happen twice in a row. Then, getting young people to vote will be even more impossible. Resulting in none of the issues that concern young people being addressed. Although I do have to applaud all of the Celebes taking time out to get people motivated to get out there and vote, to have their opinions matter and needs attended to. Already you can see that it's working from watching the 2nd debate. I don't know if I was the only one who caught this but the Pres. did say "haters" when referring to the terrorists. Unfortunately, I was completely distracted by it and had to laugh. Not because it was funny(which to me it was) but because he needed to do something to make the young voters notice what he was saying. It's definitely a start. A funny one, but a start none the less.

Buy a T-Shirt - Citizen Change: Vote or DieI am SOOO MAD!! well not really mad that I missed the presidential debate the other day. I hear that Kerry did very well. I am just disappointed with the whole voting process right now I don't know what to do. I am registered to vote and I WILL be voting(hopefully there will be millions more aside from me) so maybe this time everything will go as it should this time. The 00' campaign was just crazy with all of the 'dimples' and all. Disappointed isn't even the word for what I felt when that whole thing went down. Truckloads TRUCKLOADS of votes not used, dead people voting, live voters turned away...I don't know about other cities, but in St. Louis it was crazy here. Hundreds of people turned away at the polls. Alot of peoples registration 'lost' or they 'didn't register'. Personally, I did know two people who's registration magically disappeared into oblivion when it came time for the presidential election. I had gotten my card and everything to vote and we registered at the same time too so I know that it should've went through. Then, when the next local election came around, those people got their cards like nothing happened. Craziness.....Just CRAZINESS

Ok it's been like ever sine I've posted. I have been up to so much. My pc was down for a while and I did get a chance to take advantage of the tax free sale MO had for that one weekend. Unfortunately, I really didn't get to buy a bunch of stuff for myself. I talked my bf into getting a jersey for himself since it was on sale for $60 and with the taxes being taken off, I told him he'll NEVER find that deal again.
Home Interiors update..... I haven't been doing much with Home Interiors since the last meeting I went to. Truly I want to but other things have just been taking front seat lately. At any rate, I still luv Home Interiors and want to sell some stuff so I can either move up that ladder or stay where I am and make some good money so I won't have to work a regular job.
Speaking of jobs.....that's what's been in the front seat since Home Interiors has been back seat driving lately. I've been trying to find a job that's really going to work out whenever I go back to school. I don't have alot of time before I go back. ARGH!!! I guess it'll happen when it does.
My daughter is UNFORTUNATELY not going to school this year. Missouri changed the rules as to when a child can go to kindergarden. WAAAAHHHH!!! the temptation to run around screaming and stomping my feet is so strong right now. But since she's looking, I guess that won't set a good example of how to react after dissappointment LOL.

Fortunately, I was able to take advantage of the tax-free weekend. WOO HOO!!! I talked my BF into getting a jersey for himself. He didn't want to get it but I told im that since the taxes were off, plus the jersey istelf was only 60 buks he'd NEVER find that kinda deal ever again in life. So, he got the jersey from Hibbet Sports and the sales people were very nice. I'll be shopping there again.

This past weekend, we found some Converse for my daughter and they were buy one get one free!!! I was soooo happy about that!! Especially since her shoes were only $22 that was like the BEST DEAL EVER!! Even though they were just chucks.

This weekend MO is doing a TAX-FREE sale!!! I was a little confused when I first found out because I'm like ok what details are with this because I know that They wouldn't just let us loose with a tax free thing over the weekend and not put any stipulations on it . Then on the news, they gave out all of the details. The purchase has to be for clothing, school supplies and one other thing they said. Then, it has to be under $100 to qualify-I think that one was for those who have more than enough $ to throw at this kind of thing and will buy the store LOL.

The stores are estimating that it'll be like christmas as far as the crowds are concerned. Plus, there are alot of stores that are doing back-to-school sales anyway. Some of the department stores have huge sales going along with it too. I'm supposed to be going to the mall today so I'll get to see 1st hand how it's going to be.....I'm not all that excited though because after all that, I remembered that I'm broke this weekend WAAAAHHHHH!!!

Today I got some REALLY bad news. My best friend's(even tho we don't speak alot) lil bro. just passed today. I'm very saddened by this especially since he didn't get a chance to go away to college or have children or be stalked by crazy women yet. I hate that he didn't get a chance to have any of the experiences that I have even though I'm only 25. So, I'm hoping that the short while that he spend on this earth was a decent time since he didn't get a chance to make up for anything that he may have done. I hope that his soul will rest peacefully now that all of it is over. I don't know what the illness that he had was but apparantly it was worse than any of us was prepared for. I truly hate that we weren't as close as I would've liked but I guess that comes with us all growing up and moving on with our lives. Some odd reason, for like the past couple of weeks, he'd been on my mind anyways. Or at least his mother was. I almost went by to visit a couple of times. I guess that's what I get for not stopping by to say hello. I now have to deal with a friend not living past 21 and it being strictly for health reasons. I can't imagine being able to live w/out my lil bro if it were me. I don't get why he had to be so sick at such a young age. Since we all grew up together, it just seems wrong that I won't be able to see his lil ones since he won't have the chance to have any or meet his new wife since he won't have one of those either. Most of all, I feel the worst for his mother because I know that NO parent wants to bury their child. No parent wants to ever have to think about having their child die before them. They just think about or hoping that they raised their children well enough that they can survive on their own once they have gone from this earth. I don't ever want my daughter to have to go through that I just never wanted anyone to have to go through that. I think that is the worst thing aside from the fact that you're loosing a loved one in the first place. is that not only it's a loved one, but a person that hasn't had the chance to live yet. They haven't been able to see anything or experience the things that an adult would go through to make them the person they were meant to be. I just can't imagine anyone going through it and to see it happening so close to home...I mean I considered him to be my little brother even though we had our issues sometimes and we had times where we laughed together....There were times where we would be very close then others where we wouldn't even speak to one another for a few days....but I guess now we won't be "speaking" at all anymore. I guess that's the part that I'm going to hate even most is that we didn't get the chance to have the relationship that I would've liked. But I guess it's too late for that. Lord, I ask that you take care of William C. Payne, III that his soul can rest in peace knowing that he won't be in pain anymore. I wish that all is well with him and that he is in your loving arms as we speak. Amen.

Today I've discovered a java-script photo album. Unfortunately, the host that I have my site w/now doesn't allow users to run their own scripts. I'm too mad @ that because this is soo cute n cool. It's really easy to set up and it comes with catagories and everything. I really like it. Tomorrow, I'm going to try and make some progress on the Site I'm working on. I'm just getting the payment module together then I'll be done.

Today, I was sooo upset because I went to take my lil one to the circus, and found out that the show we PAID for tickets for wasn't even going to happen!!! I was too mad!!! I mean how do you not have a show that tickets were sold for and then say that they weren't supposed to be even selling them. Although, after I calmed down(when reason usually peeks out) I realized that the show times they advertised for today would have been a smidgeon hectic. They had a 10am show, the 4pm show(the one that was cancelled) and the 7:30pm show. Logic finally was able to scream louder than my anger and told me that since the circus is about 2-3 hours long tha they wouldn't have been able to pull that off. Every person and animal would have been rediculously tired and exausted. I'm just going to have to suck it up and wait for next year even though I was all geeked about going this year.

I think I have more fun than my lil one when I take her places. Like to the movies(since every old character is coming back) and when we saw sesame street on stage(cus it brought back such fond memories plus I knew all the songs) the only place that I take her that I don't have a whole bunch of fun is chuck-e-cheese. The only enjoyment I get is just watching her play and when I play skee-ball. I guess eventually I'll grow up and quit enjoying the stuff that she's in love with too.....

I have FINALLY finished moving my personal site!!! WOO HOO!! I moved it to Free Host Department and it's great. The only thing that I'm having issues with is that I can't seem to change my password. I can't seem to remember the stinking thing and I requested for it to be sent to my email addy and it neva came. Oh well....
Home Interiors update....I got my order in and everything went fine. I even printed up some coupons offering 20% off of their next order. I'm hoping that will generate some sales. I enjoy doing this whole thing but I'll enjoy it even better when I'm doing really well....
Tomorrow I have to do sooo much stuff!! I have to deliver orders, go to the library, work on that ladys Tags Site, and I plan on finishing my book too. Hopefully I'll be able to get up early(I seriously doubt that since I'm up now) and get everything done before 4pm. That way I can just sit back and relax for the evening aside from cooking dinner.

Today I've been runinng all over the STL!!! Thanks to an Emergency, I've been up since like 5am (WAHHH!!) Oh well I'll get over it.
Now I've got to track down my shipment for Home Interiors. I'm SOOOO SICK of the delivery people. They offer the option of checking on the shipment online which is great because that lets me know when I can expect my shipment and be home. But then then turn around and put that it was delivered and it hasn't been at all!!! So now I have to call and harass these people and let them know that lying will get them nowhere with me. I just don't get why I have to be the one to be on the recieving end of this crap!! GRRRR!!! So now I have to take time outta my life, and call them to let them know they lied AGAIN so they can deliver my shipment. I have better things to do than deal w/this. But I guess that's all part of having a business like that. Oh well.....Tirade over :)

Missdumplin THA Supachik!! well I've been working on my family site for the past few days. Trying to get some interesting content there. I don't know what else I'm going to add other than a comic page. Tomorrow I go back to work on that business site so that I can just go ahead and get it completed. I'm determined not to give up on it, but I'm definitely goin to get some help.
This week marks the beginning of the fund-raiser that I'm doing with a local daycare. They're going to be selling candles so that they can go to Six Flags. Fortunately, I was able to get some coupons sent to me for them so they won't have to shell out full price for everyone. I'm just hoping that a free trip to six flags will motivate them enough to sell alot of candles. I'm just hoping that this won't turn into a fiasco like the last fund-raiser I tried to do with the same daycare. That way I'll at least have one under my belt.

I've been working dilligently on this website for a small business. This thing is KICKIN MY BUTT...well not the whole thing just the shopping cart. and that's only because I have to enter EACH AND EVERY STINKIN ITEM into it!!! I'm going batty being sure that I enter everything w/out any typos or incorrect links. I truly love building websites but this thing is taking way more time than I planned. I didn't expect the shopping cart to be this killer. Accually I should've since I've never done it before. At least not for a business. Well lesson learned and surely I'll never forget what all I need to do to get it working right.

Today I had a wonderful experience at church. I got to listen to the "reunion" choir for like 2 hours and then we got to hear a visiting choir, a recording group and a couple of soloists. They were all wonderful. Even the childeren got up and did their thing. I was all happy n junk. I luv going to church concerts, they are soo full of energy and just all into everything they're singing about...I even got the chance to see like EVERYBODY that I've like ever went to church with. I guess since it was "Family and Friends" day everybody had to come out from under their rocks and praise together. LOL so including today I've been in church for two days in a row. Hopefully I'll be more patient and just nice to people LOL...

Today I went to see HP III-Prisoner of Azkablabla LOL hey you know the rest. That was a great movie I really enjoyed watching it. There was alot about the move I wasn't expecting. The fact that they allowed the characters to grow up without that taking over the movie was great. The end of the move was a total twist and unexpected. The only thing I'm mad about is that I couldn't be a part of the opening weekend sales count. I like to know that I "contributed" to movies that I really like especially if I'm able to go see it on opeing night. Dispite the crowds, I still find it enjoyable since for the most part, only those who are really fans of the work will be sure to go see it on opening night. Oh well, I'll get over it.

This week I'll be having my very 1st home interiors home show. I'm PRAYING that it'll go well because in that line of business, it's really all about residual income. So the more people that I come in contact with the better off my business will be in the future. Tomorrow, I will be looking into me getting a tax id number for my business so that I'll be able to go ahead and buy all of the tools that I need all at once. That way, I can totally concentrate on the customer contacts that I'll have. Yesterday, I started building this lady's website for her small business. She prolly thought I was a crazy person because of all the questions I asked her before I even got started. Hopefully, she understood that i needed to know about the specifics of her business so that I'll be able to build a functioning site for her. She seems to be a very nice lady but rather quiet though. I'm just hoping that everything will turn out ok for her site.

Today I'm going to spend alot of time trying to put together my personal site. I've decided to just code it mostly with CSS. It's taken me forever just to do one page. Well with my newfound time on my hands, it'll be up and running soon. Dinner should be happening soon considering I find something to cook. Maybe I'll take some classes so I can learn some new dishes to make. Until then, oh well I'll jus thave to be content with what I already know how to make. Memorial Day is tomorrow and I'll have to go to my training for Home Interiors. Hopefully that will go well and I'll be able to do home shows by the end of the month or something. I just have to do a little advertising for my services.

UrbanDictionary.com: Confirm I discovered Urban Dictionary.com today and it's too funny the definitions that people put up for different words. I added my own definition for skeet. It was kinda fuled by that song "beautiful" by Pharell from N.E.R.D and Snoop. I saw that video and was wondering y that brotha had on that smedium shirt. I mean did anyone tell him he looked like a scarecrow before he went out there for that scene????

Well, It's my birthday(WOO HOO!!) I haven't really done much today aside from getting shoes and house stuff. That's ok though because I don't have to cook and I don't have to do anything else for today since it is my birthday. :D At least now I know that my insurance rates will lower because I'm 25 now LOL. I know that's "special" of me to reduce 25 years of living/survival to a cheaper insurance rate but hey, what do you expect? It's not like I'm going to go out or anything today considering I'm financially challenged right now. Oh well, I'll get over it.

Tonight I was soooo MAD!!! Why is it that people want to ask you to do stuff and then turn around and say something smart that they know ticks you off then want to look at you funny for getting mad about it and not want to help them???/ I just don't understand that logic. Moving along....

I may have just like barely gotten my sales for this week. If I did that's all great n junk. If not, I'm soooo stuck since I told my customers it'll be back in a week. Well, I still have time to make some sales this weekend since everything has to be in by sunday. Really, I'm hoping that it'll all turn out ok.

Tomorrow I have soo many errands to run it's crazy!! Unfortuneately I have to drag my lil one with me. Hopefully she won't feel the need to stab me when it's all over LOL. I'm just hoping that by the time the end of next week comes, I'll have a job...hopefully. I don't see how anyone can do this unemployed crap for a continuous amount of time (like forever) I can't do it. Honestly, I can see myself as one of those retired people that feel the need to get a job at McDonald's or something just so I'll have something to do all day.

MAPP ASSESMENT never waste time going to this website!!! They just waste your time having you fill out this long &^%*&%%^$ assesment just to try and get you to purchase the results. IT'S A CROCK!! well that's just 15 mins I can't get back. I'm just a smidgeon upset about that LOL oh well I'm over it now.
Today I went to apply at a temp agency who will hopefully have some mercy on me and place me somewhere. But I'm NOT willing to drive to EAST JESUS for a job. Especially with gas prices being 1.99 here. I dunno what I'm going to do for the rest of the summer. I think I'm just going to ride the bus everywhere or something cus the gas crap is getting...no has gotten just insane!! then to top it off, I just found out that gas in Philly is 2.10 per gallon!!! I'm like what the &$%$$#***$##%%$# is going on here!!! this is supposed to be the "Land of Opportunity" but right now it seems like it's just SUKKY to be in the US...at least right now as far as gas goes. GRRRRR stinkin gas prices.

My friends wife is having a baby and this cat is talkin about no "some" for a few months...LOL I've been through that and it's kinda funny to hear it from the guys perspective...

I had an epiphany...This selling Home Interiors stuff is going to be more work than I originally planned. I've done well so far though. Today my exaustion is just bad. I'm really feeling it. Yesterday at work, was trying to leave early. Of course, that turned out just bad as all hell. ALL of the night crew called in and then I had to stay my full shift. Unfortuneately, I accually had things to do. Oh well, there's nothing I can do about that now. I made a very important discovery last night. Never use Pine Sol to clean out a tub...IT DOESN'T WORK!!!! Raggady piece of CRAP!!! I've been using it for a few YEARS now to clean my tub and various other parts of my home. I saw that my tub was looking rather ick like it needed to be reglazed. So, I figured that I'd better try to be sure that it wasn't something that I could handle before I go reporting it to my Apartment complex...who by the way SUCKS when it comes to fixing stuff on the property. They once made me wait roughly a two months for freon for the a/c saying that I had to wait until somebody else in my bldg. needed it too!!! I REALLY WANTED TO BURN DOWN THE LEASING OFFICE AFTER THAT!!! But fortuneately, somebody else did it so I still felt better about it. I kinda chuckled when I heard about it and was like 'wow' that's wild....but back to my tub...I used some of that scrubbing bubbles stuff and now it's all bright white n junk...I'm feeling really "special" about that one LOL I had no idea...oh well.
Today was especially boring and uneventful except for me being able to leave early today. I didn't have anything to do aside from wash, but I needed to be repaid for having to stay yesterday. Everybody shows up today of course, and everything went of without a hitch. So, I was able to leve. For me, all that meant was that I got to start looking for another job earlier than I planned for today. I still haven't even found any prospects...this sucks...I want to leave a company but can't find another one to go to...ARGH!!! Oh well, I'll find somthing soon..hopefully.
