Happy Friday 13th! And for those of you who don't know (which i'm sure is most of you)...tomorrow is Michel Tsvette (pronounced Mekell Svet) day. Tsvette is the father of chromatography and tomorrow is his birthday! I think he'd be like 150 or something if he was still alive. Anyway...since it's on a weekend, monday is Tsvette Day observed. At least in our lab it is. So today i started my first real case work. It was a little intimidating, but it felt pretty good. I just did marijuana cases today. So i finished all my analysis...and on Monday i just have to do some reports and i'll be done with my first batch of cases! How exciting is that?! So...we had some pretty rockin' thunderstorms today. It would have been way cooler if my power hadn't gone out for 3 hours. But i did get to read by candle light for a while. It would have been even better if i had someone to snuggle up with (besides my dog). Thunderstorms make me feel lonely when i don't have someone to share them with b/c there's nothing more romantic? (i guess that's the only way i can describe it) than watching a thunderstorm while cuddled up to someone under some blankets. Sadly columbo wasn't much up to cuddling with me during the storm. He preferred to sit on the recliner and stare out the sliding glass door at the sheets of rain coming down. And then proceeded to freak out when the power went out. Ah well...that's what happens when you have a weiner dog that is really a weiner. So tomorrow i'm getting my car fixed...i would like to reiterate that this being an adult thing kinda sucks a lot. Just when i get some money saved...something comes up that i'm not expecting. So i guess the plan to get out of debt is still to marry a rich man. Any rich men out there looking for a woman with a low paying job, who can't cook and hates to clean and a ton of school debt? Yeah...i didn't think so. I guess i should prolly figure out how to cook...or love cleaning if i'm gonna have any luck. ;-) I should prolly get on that. So...back to getting my car fixed...i'm not real sure what possessed me...but my appointment is at 8ish tomorrow morning. What the hell was i thinking?? That means i have to get up the same time i normally would for work. Now...usually i only sleep until 7:30, but that's still an hour later than i sleep during the week. At least i was smart enough next weekend to schedule a groomer's appointment at 12:30 instead of 7 like the woman wanted me to do. Does anyone who reads this blog watch Lost? Does anyone freakin' know what's up with Kate and Sawyer?? Oh...and i'm a little pissed that we still haven't figured out exactly what Kate did to get in serious trouble. Freakin' A. I haven't been this obsessed with a show since the 3rd season of CSI! So in the last 3 days...i've seen this one kid (whom i refer to as fatty bobatty, he's not really that fat...but i just think the word is funny. Right now i'd call paris hilton fatty bobatty if she got in my way) crossing the street close to my apartment complex. I've never seen him before until just a few days ago when he made me block traffic while he mosied (spelling?) across the street. It's amazing how you never really notice people until you start looking. I can think of one particular example. A while ago there was someone that i saw almost everyday. I talked to them almost everyday...but i didn't actually realize they were inhabiting the same planet as me until one day they weren't there anymore and i noticed that i missed being around them. Has anyone else ever done that? I always feel really guilty when that happens...b/c i feel so selfish. You know you're so caught up in your own life that you barely notice anything around you. For example, fatty bobatty has probably been crossing the street at 4:45ish almost everyday and i've been living here for 4 months...and i never noticed him until earlier this week. And now that i know he's there...i notice him everyday. Very interesting really. Well...i suppose that's my deep thinking for the night. I know...i just totally blew your mind with that...but hey...maybe one day you can all be the thinker that i am. All it requires is some smoke and a butt to blow it up. So...go gather yourself some sticks...
