people aggrievate me to no end. today started with a ridiculously pointless meeting at work. followed by a non-english speaking customer calling and saying " do you have any of those free dvds left?" " no sir our systems says we only have one left and we've sold 27 in the last 15 minutes so i don't think it will be here by the time u get here" "can you put it on hold for me?" " no i cannot hold anything in our ad" "why" "because its not fair to other customer that get here before you" " but that's not fair to me why don't you just hide it for me " i can't so that sir" "why not" " because that's the same thing as putting something on hold except more dishonest" " well can you go check that you still have that one in stock?" " my guess is that its in someone's hand waiting to be checked out" "well go find it" " and what would you like me to do when i find it in someone's hand sir" "ask for it back because i want it" "i can't do that sir" " so what are you going to give me for free instead" click. followed by me faiting twice. followed by being questioned if i am actually a swinger by the gentleman i have been dating for over two years. followed by slitting my wrists and living happily ever after. amen

I broke my Wilma Beads today!! i'm so sad. anyone up for nordstom's to get me new ones?

school books are far far too expensive

Zach graduated from Navy Boot Camp this weekend! Let's begin with Thursday.
Thursday evening, as I was getting ready to go to bed at 7:30pm knowing that I had to be up at 4 am the next morning, received a phone call from my father saying that my mother broke her shoulder and needed me to come get her on the bike path and take her to the emergency room. So I sped over to the closest place i could park and ran through tick invested forest preserve to find my momma and dadda sitting back to back on the ground, my momma crying cut and bruises and my dadda all bloody and looking very sad. When I got there there was an ambulance on the way. The paramedics were very nice. They took the bikes back to their station over night. Went to the emergency room. I called my sister to come over there. Stupid idea. I failed to remember the fact that she gets faint very easily..nuff said. got home around midnight. went to bed around 1:30. got up at 4.
Friday, Mr. and Mrs. Keller picked me up at 5am. had to be checked in at the base at 6. Most police dogs are fierce looking german shepards or pitbulls or something.. not in the navy. the dog that sniffed out bags was this cute little wishbone-looking dog. He would sniff this little box on the wall then run down the line sniffing the bags then jump around in a circle. soooo cute. Mr Keller thought the box that he sniffs was sorbet to clean his palet. i laughed. The we got to sit in the bleachers or 4 hours until the ceremony started. 10:35 its over and we leave to go to maggiano's for lunch. yummy. then zach and i took a nap at my house and went to gurnee mills. He had to be back at the base at 8 so then i went home and ..
Came back on saturday at 8:00am with natalie to go to great america. Zach brought his friend Kang. This cute little 17 year old asian boy that got kicked out of his house so he joined the navy. We met up with Boring and his mama, who is absolutely adorable. We went on almost everything. Ragin bull is natale's favorite. Zach Boring and I went bungi jumping which was amazing. Two quotes of the day are from Boring: "This bungi jumping thing is just a glorified tree swing. I used to rope up a swing to a tree back home and just fly.. and this was 2 years ago." and the other: "what? my mauh just bought two beers? is she gonna drink both? Negative"
Sunday I picked up zach and took him to his parents house in oswego so he could see his grandparents. Then we went back to my house and ate chinese food. Then we had to say good bye again. so sad. I miss him vury much. Then i got really sick in the middle of the night and didn't go to work in the morning hehe. that sucked.

Cathy's friend: I think i'm gonna get a sun tatoo around my belly button
Cathy: Eww sisco

Brian: This is the problem with the world. Attractive men want to date themselves. if they're straight they can't. This is why you see guys with girllfriends that look exactly like them. manly girls. ewwww

Dan: Here natalie, there's some guys ur age for you.
Nato: Dan, they're wearing doo rags!!!
Dan: why you gotta be so shallow?

people are stupid. i'm not your fucking babysitter goddamit. I'm going to marry Zach. like tomorrow. There is no point is looking for other fish in the sea when they're all swimming drunk and being morons.

Well this has been an eventful two weeks. I've see Naked Boys Singing....(and dancing, and jumping... and flailing about...) at the Balliwick Center on Belmont.. Went to the Admiral and saw naked women... and hookahed today.. First time for eveything i suppose

the hits keep on coming this week.

this whole experience has brought meaning to several cliches. For instance, " you never know how much u love someone until they're gone".... fact
