Or maybe not so much. But I don't care- I am a mere 52 hours away from my boyfraaan.
DRAMA IN MY LIFE
Part I
I have been hoarding my credit card in my desk for the past month because I am going on a trip to San Fransisco and would like to have some space on there to buy things and enjoy my much deserved vacation. Also, I just need to catch up from Christmas because I don't know how to NOT buy nice things for my family. That being said- I went online today to make yet another payment and there are 3 mysterious transactions. One for $69.99, $89.95 and $75.60. If you want to know the definition for "flip the f*** out" there was a definite display of this phrase in all of its glory! I called my bank who tranferred me to Visa who said I needed to call my bank. Ah, yes, that vicious cycle of people in CUSTOMER SERVICE who don't actually want to help you. After about an hour of playing Phone-Ring-Around-The-Rosie I was able to speak with someone who solved my issue in about 2 minutes. Apparently I have to file a dispute for each tansaction and I went ahead and blocked my card which means I'll be getting a new one.... in 7-10 business days. DAH.
Part II
Mandi and my kitten, Harvey Dent, can be destructive at times. I am trying to handle it in a very constructive manner and it seems to be working. What can I say, he's in his terrible 2's stage! He has ceased all of he habits that I "busted" him for. However, at some point in the day yesterday he got into our roomates bedroom and knocked over a box of plants she has (cacti, funky looking foliage, etc.) I hadn't even noticed that her door was open until she came home and commented on it. Her room was a wreck. :/
So Mandi and I went back to what we were both in the middle of when all of a sudden we hear this terrible sound of a what seemed to be a VERY distressed kitten. So we run to where the noise is coming from. Oh, good. Its coming from Joelle's bathroom which she has locked. Mandi starts trying to figure out what is going on when we hear Joelle say "I'm punishing the cat." Wow, great. Yeah, it really sounds like he is learning his lesson- not. So I start getting all worked up and were both pleading with Joelle to stop. And yet, she continues. Mandi, who was very upset at this point, looks at me and says, "You're gonna have to handle this. I can't deal with her." And for those of you who know me, you know that when I get really worked up about something I can have a momentary laspse of judgement and say things in haste and anger. I had to walk away. SOOOOO- Long story short she FINALLY stops "punishing" my baby and I tried to very calmly and rationally tell her that I was sorry he made the mess, that I'd clean it up and that I did not want her to ever touch my cat again. He's a baby! Punshing him for wrong doings HOURS after the fact does absolutely NOTHING! She was just torturing him! Ugh. I could have slapped her. I offered to clean up the room and she said "No, its MY room." Hmm. K fine. She has yet to utter a syllable directed at me. At least I know I handled it in the most mature way possible.
PartIII
Somehow, in the hustle and bustle of my life I seem to have lost my song book. :( The book that contains all of the music that I have written. Well- I take that back. All of the songs I have completed. Everything else (works in progress, random lyrics, pretty chord structures, etc.) goes in a different binder. But this, this precious notebook that I treasure, is missing. My heart aches.
PartIV
This isn't really drama- I just really wanted to get to use the Roman Numeral IV :) The Hopkins Family and I, (Steve, Polly, Audrey, and Shelby) are venturing on a 7 hour road trip to Tuscon for Bompa's (Polly's dad) 90th birthday! This will certainly be a cozy ride AND a Valentine's Day to remember :)
Oh, my life. And yet, in the midst of all of this craziness, I still have a smile glued to my face.
