So last night… Was awesome… Went to the Palace about 7ish, met up with Nicole and them… Marshall seems bound and determined to call me Ali (not Aly – Ah-lee as in Muhammad), which is kinda cute and funny… I’ve been called that before but that was like UT tennis camp WAY back like the 80s… Ryan was great and the entire table I was at (all Galley peeps) got a kick out of heckling him. He even got an older couple up and dancing… That was kind of cool… There was a table of girls wanting to hear some ‘country’ and then they requested Clapton… (Indecisive much?) Then there was the girl who was determined that Ryan was singing directly to her… Ah I remember back when I was that girl… Thank God I got over that in a hurry… But yeah the whole night provided much entertainment… We all went over to Kay’s afterward and had a drink… I got home about 11:30 and went to bed… So I think there is some sort of conspiracy against me… I got home last night about 11:30 and went to bed shortly after that. My phone rang at 1 and my mom is calling me to ask where I am and if I can get her a Pepsi… At one a.m…. Craziness… But I guess since she didn’t hear me come in, I did pretty good at being quiet… She asked where I was and when I told her I was in bed, she was like “oh, ok. Night.” Then an hour later my phone rang again and it was Sean, making sure I’d gotten home okay. I go back to bed to be woken up by Mom’s alarm at 5… It keeps going off for like an hour… Then she’s on the phone talking and coming in my room and using the computer, and I finally get back to sleep about 7… Only to have La come in about 9 to use the computer… WTF?!?!? About 10 I gave up the ghost and just got up… So needless to say I’ve spent the day sort of out of it… I’m debating on whether I want to go watch the Rose Bowl at Kay’s or the Palace or just stay home and chill out tonight… We’ll wait and see… I went out last night and I’m thinking about going out tomorrow night… So we will see…
Before I left for Kays though… I had 2 phone calls that I’m really curious about… Both times it came up # unavailable… I hate when it does that… But the 2nd time I was getting ready and I faintly hear “Well I’m one bud-wiser… than I was…” I’m like holy crap… I forgot I set my ring to that so I run out of the bathroom and jump across the bed trying to get it. Whoever it was hung up right before I could yank it out of my purse… And they didn’t leave a voicemail… I hate when people do that… Especially when I have no idea whose calling… It could have been about a job (though at 6:45 that’s doubtful) or a call from a pay phone from a friend… Though there’s also the slight possibility that it was the hottie from last week… I don’t know if that friend ever gave him the message or not… I’ll ask the friend if he doesn’t call by 2morrow. Lets see, what else… Oh, yes… My mother… She stayed home sick today, so she had lots of extra time to nit pick me… I love her to death but when she’s got free time on her hands and me conveniently close, then its dissection of Ali time… I know she does it out of love and concern but its getting kinda old… A few examples…
“I’d like to see you doing more jobhunting every day…”
I didn’t mention theres only so much I can do, I have to wait for employers so decide whether they want to interview me based on my resume and I just started applying places in earnest Sunday night, so give me another day or so before bitching at me please.
I was walking down the stairs in a pair of clunky heeled sandals to go run errands…
“You should get rid of those old things, they’re too loud…”
Um, ok… I got em last summer and while they are clunkers I don’t think they’re THAT loud…
Another one… I went to run one last errand an hour or so ago and shes like have you done anything about looking for a job today? Have you looked at the airlines yet?”
I told her yeah, I had looked at Continental, Southwest and Delta but most jobs they had that I could (or would do) are in Dallas or California… Her reply?
“So move to Dallas or California… At least you’d have a job…”
Dood, I don’t have a death wish… I know Houston, I know people here, I know how to get around, short cuts and stuff, and I’m working on improving my dating life… You think I’m moving to Dallas (I have friends there sure but I could never live there – the traffic, the men… Yeah, no…) for a job? I think not… And California? Theres no way I’m leaving the damn state again… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… If I live in some other state EVER again, I will either be brain dead or in Hawaii, deeply in love or dead (technically not living but that’s beside the point)…
Away from that particularly touchy subject… I went to Soundwaves today… They finally have a section for womens clothes… I looked at their used CDs (a guy I swear had been at ½ price books like 20 minutes before was there too and no he wasn’t really attractive…) and shopped for the guys like I always do there… Then I looked around the new womens section… They had some cute stuff… Affordable too… I don’t know if I could wear much of it but I liked it… Most of it was too casual for teacher clothes or to look professional for working in an office or whatnot… Ah well… I did get a big ass brownie at their lil café and a Dr Pepper… I couldn’t finish the brownie cuz it was so damn chocolatey… But damn it was good…
Thinking of jobhunting… I did get an email from Nancy (the temp agency lady) that said to send her my new resume and we’d start trying to get me some work… I’m also going to SBISD’ s admin building tomorrow to ask about subbing and any other teacher’s aides jobs they might have open…
At some point I also need to take care of my ticket for my expired registration, but my court date isn’t till February 3rd and I have until the end of next week to renew it and pay a 10 $ fine (at least that’s how I understand it works). So that might be my plan for Friday…
Ok, this is entirely long enough… I think I’m going to quit now… laters.
