Corndog and cabbage… Not so much part of your average every day diet… But then neither are Pei Wei’s lettuce wraps… Eh, they could be but I don’t feel like checking into it… Add a lil cup o Jello a couple of sweet teas and a dr pepper or 2 and you’ve got my day in food for Thursday… Oh and I had a couple of yeast rolls from Hartz and a lil slice of cheese… It was sharp cheddar and it was calling my name… :0)
But at least I washed my car (by hand) so I worked off some of the calories… Sure I couldn’t find the thing of soap I’d gotten at Target so I had to use my old rose body wash, but that thing is darn near spotless…
So in the job arena… I have a meeting with Nancy (the temp agency lady) on Tuesday at 3. I also have an interview off Richmond and Sage at 11 am Tuesday morning for another job… What it entails I’m not exactly sure. A recruiter saw my resume on Monster and called me. I think its something about selling insurance, but I’ll see in the interview. If it is, I’m out… I’m no salesperson… Plus it looks like they want you to do some sort of schooling on insurance… Another major minus… Other than that I’m just going through classifieds, using Monster and other internet things…
I still need to go the admin building for SBISD and sign up to sub and see if they have any clerical/receptionist/teacher aides jobs open…
I also have to go downtown not once but twice… Once before next Friday to renew my registration and again after Monday to pay the $10 fee at the court house place (justice of the peace’s office). Lucky me… I hate going down there and now I have to do it twice…. Ugh…
Still no word from the cute boy… I’m beginning to wonder if I should move on… I know he’s a busy bee but still… Heck, I don’t even know if the friend gave him my message or not… So maybe theres still hope… I guess we’ll have to play the wait and see game… I hate that game… I have no patience for it…
Big item of the day… Saving the best for last, so to speak… My mom. Oh my… Poor dear is sick and didn’t go to work Wednesday and she came home early Thursday… Now she’s debating on whether to go today… I told her she should wait and see… She thinks she has acid reflux like I do… I’m like no, you’ll know when its that… You want to throw up all the time… She’s just got an upset tummy and she can’t stop burping… But she’s not nauseous. But that’s not my story about her… Oh no… She talked to John tonight, like she does every night… And this time he had some news for me… In the last 2 weeks there have been 2 murders by the Firehouse… Not at the firehouse but at 59 and Fountainview the same intersection as the Firehouse… Actaully it was people on the freeway that were pursued onto the feeder and then shot. Mom was like, I’m not going to tell you not to go (cuz according to her I’m an adult and can make my own decisions – afreakingmen thanks for noticing…) but I really don’t think you should… I tried to reassure her that I was only planning to go to a show or 2 this month anyway and that I take Richmond to Fountainview… She immediately goes into a spiel of that’s not a safe way, there are gangs and stuff there… And Sharpstown is right down that way too… It seems I can’t win for losing with her sometimes… I don’t know if she understands that I ALWAYS think I’m in some sort of danger, whether its physical or whatnot… I grew up in this city, I’m fairly certain I know the majority of the dangers and hazards I may face… Sure some areas are worse than others but there are places like the Firehouse, where I feel safe meeting friends… I know the doorguys and bartenders and theres always a cop or 3 around the building, so I don’t really feel as though NOT going there at all (like she suggested) is really the answer for me… Its like letting fear rule my life… Not going somewhere just because I know crime has occurred near there… I tried once again to point out the whole Angel Rodriguez Ramirez thing (she took us to a liquor store a member of our family owns on the tracks – he had been spotted IN the store like a week before – and he hadn’t been caught yet) but she wasn’t having that… So I guess I’ll just have to be extra special careful going and coming to the Firehouse… She’s all for the Palace though… Safety and money wise… She’d probably feel the same about Blancos and Kays if I told her about them… But I’ve already promised to go to 2 shows there this month and I plan on being at both of them, being extra careful. Come on I’m a single white reasonably attractive female who grew up in a city while not full of crime has enough to make ya cautious, I’m always careful…
Anyway I’m going to bed… Laters.

Hey girlie - just a few things to note...The Angel Maturino Resendez case - the guy who caught him, total sweetie. And about the area around the Firehouse, I heart you but you're on your own. I'd just as soon stay away; being a crime victim once was more than enough for me.
