New Year brings a new job

So... I have been working at the Lion House Bakery which has been fun but, the hours & pay suck! I haven't had a social life for a few months now. I work between 2-4 am. It differs on the day of the week. This being said I usually go to bed around 7 pm. No fun. I try to go out on the weekends but I get so tired at like 8 that I usually have to head home so I don't fall asleep somewhere. :( And since I've been living at home again I didn't need something that paid a huge amount. I don't really have that many monthly bills.

Needless to say I've always been on the look out for a better job.

Well I found one! Yay for me! I will be starting work at Wells Fargo on Jan. 5th. I can't wait. I will be in the commercial card area taking inbound calls. This is pretty much what I did for Chase Bank for almost 3 years. I loved it there! I wouldn't have left but, we got laid off last December. Not only does this job come with better hours but MUCH better pay. Even better than Chase and I was a supervisor there. Now I get more money, a better work schedule, a social life & it's so close to home!

Hopefully friends you'll be seeing more of me soon :) No more 8 pm leave time.

Dean's bodyguard

What is this world coming to when two cat people turn into dog people?

My mom also got a dog... well her and her Fiance (Phil) got a dog.
Lilly is Dean's protector as long as he isn't messing with her squeaky toys.

Dean also got a sweater.. he loves it!

Shopping?

I did quite a bit of shopping yesterday... I went to Lane's condo to start the day off... picked me up a Lane and Andrew. We took a ride to the Yuppie Puppie... Lane and Andrew were plotting a devious ingenious plan on the walk from the car. I found out that the pup I wanted was actually at a PetsMart so we headed there. I took one look into then Stimpy's eyes and knew he was to be mine. I started the paper work.. handed over the money and got me a pup! He's adorable and crazy. After hustling through PetsMart to find necessary puppy items we left and I brought my little guy home to get him acquainted with his new home. He loves my bed, especially after taking a big drink of water... water still dripping from his face.

I took a second trip to PetsMart to get him a crate (freaking pricey!!!) a blanket and some treats. He loves his blankie... not too fond of the crate yet.

Lane, we left his red guy at your mom's. He's going nuts without it. chewing on all sorts of things.

After trying out a few names on him... Albie, Dean, Monroe... I've settled on Dean or Deanie. After James Dean. Deanie seems to help a little coming from Stimpy to Deanie... the ending catches his ear. He's almost 4 months old and loves to go on walks.

Well now that he's napping it's my turn to take a nap... waking up every two hours to take him outside was no fun and FREEZING... such is the life with a little one :)

touch ups

Here they are still healing but already looking so much better! Now they finally match! Once they peel the colors will be bright again :)


Monday, December 1, 2008

I just couldn't wait...

Well I had an appointment today at 1 pm to get my feet tattoos touched up. But I had something more important come up around that time slot so I figured I would just go tomorrow. Well the more important thing got switched till later so I ended up at the tattoo shop anyhow. So I got the sparrows beautified and had a few more stars added to my left one to match my right one. So here's the pics. First right foot all done and beautiful. Yes, it's a dead sparrow. I'm weird I know.
Then both my sparrows. Left foot alive, right foot dead.
And then now with the wrap still on... you can barely see the new stars because of the light from the pic but I'll have new ones as soon as they are done healing :)

Tattoo goals

Ok to help me rationalize spending money on more ink I decided I would need a reason. So I set some goals that I need to reach before I can get the stuff I want.

1. Get my car finally legal - Then I get to add to my neck.
2. Hit my goal weight - get my ribs done :) SOOOOO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE!!!
3. Get my Vehicle infractions taken care of - I'm thinking of getting my mermaid done for this one.
4. Not until 1 and 3 are taken care of take a trip to Vegas and get my "uncle" Dirk to finish my left shoulder and hopefully get my banner done.
5. Finish some schooling, looking in to Pharmacy Tech - get my right arm started.

So there ya go... I have the plans for everything that I will get done even beyond this... I just need to have the time, money and the goals complete.

Tears

How does a tear express how you feel? I've had happy tears... lots of those in the past. Now-a-days they seem to be sad... hurting... painful tears. How does crying seem to ease the pain? Sometimes I feel better after crying. Other times I wish the world would just stop turning.

I try not to let things get me down.. but I can't always be optimistic. I can't put on a happy face and fake it all the time. I've been through a lot. I feel entitled to be dreary, depressed, a real stick in the mud every once in a while.

I need something to pull me out of this funk. I just won't allow anyone to try and help. I appreciate the offers and attempts. Thank you Lane, Jaime and Brad for trying.

Courtside with the Jazz

OK so! Jaime and I were fortunate enough to attend the Jazz game the other night. I love the Suns so I pretty much begged my dad for tickets. He works for Huntsman Sr. and when he's out of town there is a chance that I get to go. This being one of the nights.

So Jaime and I got the suite tickets. I was hoping that we'd get to go down to the floor but thought it unlikely since my dad wasn't going to be there. I have been court side now three times. AMAZING!

So when we first get there Jaime and I are eating and then the hostess for the evening informs me that we can use the floor tickets for the first quarter. Jaime and I freak! We nearly run to the floor. :) We get there and the view is amazing! We start taking pics during the warm up like you wouldn't believe!

Just after the game starts this guy comes and sits one person away from us. Some weirdos behind us are yelling "GO UTES!!" We glance at him and Jaime's like "how do I know him!!!??? he looks so familiar." I said well the guys behind us were yelling for the Utes... She jumps. "That's Brian Johnson! he's the Quarter Back for the Utes! Holy crap!" She wanted a pic with him so badly! I said just wait till time out or something... OH! and before this during warm up Jaime had to throw the ball back to Matt Harpring... Yes he looked right at her about 10 feet away and motioned for the ball. lol

So time out is called.. Jaime leans over and says something to the fact of I love you... you're awesome.. can I get a pic with you? He was so nice! he welcomed her closer... closer being almost his lap! she chucks the camera to me and I snap the pic! SO cute!
First quarter over we take off for the suite. We enjoy watching the game and chatting and of course taking more pics :) Half time we wander off to the first floor where the locker room is. I use to work at the Energy Solutions Arena/ Delta Center so I knew where I was going :)

We stopped next to the locker room so Jaime could see some of the players... I got to catch up with some old friends... Doug Birrell -Team Massage Therapist, Mark Mckown -Assistant Coach, Brian Zettler - Trainer. Awesome guys!

The game was over far too soon! we took some more fun pics before leaving the suite. Then we went back down to the first floor. I wanted to say hi to my friend... the Jazz Bear. We were waiting near control (security) and I knew the players would be coming out soon... I really REALLY wanted to see Nash. I love this guy!!! So I was talking to my friend Brad in control when Jaime yells "Whit! here he is!" I snap around and see him walking down the hall. I was just gonna take a pic of him as he walked by but Jaime did so much better! She jumps in front of him and says "My friend Whitney here is your biggest fan of all your fans! Can she get a picture with you?" I didn't know what to do! I stood there... in shock for 2.3 seconds. Then he said "of course." he puts his arm around me and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I said "Hi. I'm Whitney." at least I think that's what I said. lol
Then we are walking back towards the locker room and Jaime is having tons of fun snapping pics of the players as they casual walk passed us. Then she spies Korver coming our way. She asks him if he'll take a pic with her and of course he agrees... I took the adorable pic!

Can I just put in here now how much I adore Jaime! I have so much fun hanging out with her! She's so outgoing and fun! I just wish that we would have been friends in High School! I can only imagine the mischief we would have gotten in to :) Love ya Babe!

By this time the security people aren't happy with us taking so many pics and what not so we are asked to leave LOL

We head for home from such a fun night! I knew I had to be to work so early the next morning but I didn't want the night to end...
After all the stress and sadness from the previous few weeks this was just what I needed.

Thank you Jaime!

just a sneak peak

I'm running to pick up my car *fingers crossed it's fixed* But I had to leave a little teaser as to what's to come... Last night I had a wonderful night with Jaime... Just what I needed :)

Here's just a little of what happened!

Diet

This heart ache thing might just be the greatest diet I've ever been on... Would I trade the diet for my heart being whole again? In a heart beat... no pun intended.

What little I can stand to eat doesn't stay down for long...
I feel so... what's the word??? Broken, lost, misplaced...

I suppose time heals all wounds... and time is always relative :)

Ouch

Have you ever had someone tell you something... something you knew was coming... you expected it to happen... you just didn't know when... and deep inside you hoped it would never happen?

Mine happened.

It would have broken my heart if it weren't already shattered from the first impact. Ouch.

How can you lose something twice? You lose it... after many years of searching and hoping, you happen to come across it one day... you think... no, you KNOW it's the greatest thing ever! you're so happy to have it back! Then... just like before... it's gone.

I ripped my heart out to give to you... I don't want it back. It's yours... forever. Please be kind with it. The one thing in the world I wish I could keep forever. Isn't mine to keep...

I love you. Always.

been too long

Hmmm... lets see... A bunch has happened lately... but nothing that is very life changing.

I went to Frightmares with some friends one weekend. Went on a car scavenger hunt that same weekend. Worked a lot. Didn't go to work because I slept passed my alarm. Oops. Went to the Jazz game with Douche AKA Cole. Said hi to old friends at the DC AKA ESA. Missed someone more than I thought possible. Bought and installed a new showerhead. Fell in love with a song. Cried. Laughed. Threw up. Hung out with Lanito. Bought some new books. Bought my tickets for Twilight! Bought new coats. Had a visit from Nate Stott. Got my nails done. Watched some new movies. Forgotten. Cut my hair. Dyed my hair... er... rather bleached my hair. Reality set in. Took a 5 year old to build a bear. Went to Xela's happy birthday/ Baby Gia's 3 week birthday. Sang Hannah Montana's Best of Both Worlds with "George" for at least 20 minutes. Bought fake cockAroaches. Text my cousin quite a bit. Got some good phone calls. My brother stayed at home. :) Looked in to getting a pup. And I slept, but as usual, not nearly enough.

There you have it folks... a whole lot of nothing. :) it's what makes me... me!

Moving day.

Not moving for me but for the girls. They are in the process of packing their stuff as I type this. Even as they are moving the plot thickens. They have some friend here. Some guy. I was sitting here on the computer and overheard a conversation of them wanting to go out to smoke. Not a big deal. Then I hear this kid go "just light up in here." Thank god the girls are smart enough to say "oh, in the house?! yeah that's not a good idea." The kid spouts off with "if someone pissed me off I'd piss them off." I'm sorry how did my mother piss you off??? by letting you live in the house for three months rent free??!!! By not saying a word to you and letting you have pretty much your way with the house?! Are you kidding me! I'm so mad right now. If I hear one more smart ass remark from anyone I'm gonna snap. Not an easy thing for me to do.

UGH!

Pictures

Well I had my mom order me some pictures that I saw in a catalog of hers. The moment I saw them I knew I had to have them. Well they finally came today. They are even better than in the pictures! I don't know what it is about them that made me need them so badly... They are just beautiful.

Family War

I feel like there is quite literally a war beginning in my family. It's the boys against the girls. We're out numbered 2 to 4. First this thing with my oldest little brother. Then my dad choosing My brother's and the girls in the basements side. (I don't know if he actually has. It's just how I feel from our "conversations.") Then I put a pic of my dad up on my myspace from who knows how many years ago from his mission. He's standing with Marie Osmond. I thought it was great. I get a message from my youngest brother saying "Take the family pics off of your pictures. We don't need every asshole on the internet seeing a picture of dad with a name tag Elder D. B_______." (I erased the rest of MY last name so if they happen across this I can avoid further reprimanding.) Ok if my dad doesn't want the picture up then that's fine. I would have erased it. But getting a rude email from my 15 year old brother doesn't make me feel like doing anything. So to appease the masses I just made that section of my picture visible to friends only. Hopefully I'm not friends with "every asshole on the internet."

How am I supposed to fight a war when the playing ground isn't fair? I don't want to fight a war. I just feel it's inevitable. I guess the only good thing we have going is that I'm not afraid to speak my mind. My Mom has a harder time with that. She doesn't like to say things impulsively that will make things worse. She likes to think of the situation and then respond. I just fly off the handle. Much like my father and youngest brother.

Problem is my youngest brother is so manipulative in things he says to my dad. He can say anything true or not, usually not, and have my dad believing it. Usually things about me. "Whitney's done drugs..." I've heard that one before. Never have and NEVER will. But do you think my dad believes that? Hell no... I've been so in and out of every one's life that they don't even know me. Did they know where I lived half of the time I wasn't home? No. Did they know that I had a roommate crazier than a shit house rat? No. Did they know I was an alcoholic for a year? No. Did they know I was in the worst abusive relationship ever for almost a year? No. They don't know and more importantly, they don't care. I could sit down and try to talk to anyone in my family and it will always turn against me.

I'm the oldest I'm supposed to be an example. EXAMPLE?! To what? 3 boys? how is that supposed to work? The rules seem to have changed so much for each kid. How is that supposed to be fair? I know times change and things need to be tweaked but have a little bit of consistency. Some rules would be a good idea. They have none. I had bad grades=grounded for life. They get bad grades=no one gives a shit.

I'm done fighting. I think that might be the best thing now. I'm done. Here's my white flag waving. Leave me out of this. I need to get out of here. Get away from everything. Start over somewhere new. Leave my "family" behind.

Hoodies & glasses

Ok I live in hoodies! I love these things...

Well I recently ordered some new ones and I got them in the mail yesterday! So excited!

Julie had questioned my hoodies so I figured it best to just put it up here :)

So here they are! I love things that have logos or decals in weird/not usual places. So the one has the number 15 on the hood. I saw that and had to have it! The other one is just too cute and since I had gone and seen the show but didn't get it while I was there I figured why not get it now??? :)

Enjoy!

And I went to get new glasses today.. they will be ready in 7-10 days. Hopefully sooner! I found the cutest frames and I can't wait to get them. I haven't had a new prescription in 3 years so I can only imagine how much it's changed. The ones I have are blue on the outside and green inside. I always love different glasses. Here's the frames I picked out.

These ones are black on the outside and clear inside.


And these ones are a purpley-ish color... so cute! I didn't think that the cat eye style would look good on me but, I tried em on and loved em!

How did my life come to this?

Yesterday was one of the worst days I've ever had! My mother and brother got in an argument about him and his friends living at her house. She's sick of them living in the basement rent free. Not only rent free but they are disrespectful in every way. They have two dogs that run around the backyard ripping stuff up. They never feed them. I feed them. They come inside the house and tear things apart in here too. Who ends up cleaning up that mess??? not the girls... You'd think that if you were living rent free in some one's home you would go out of your way to make it known that you appreciate that. Do the dishes, clean the house, do some yard work.. at least clean up after yourself and your pets! But no... they don't...

Well it came to what we thought was an end yesterday. Mom and Mike are yelling... I'm in my room with the door shut, listening. I didn't want to get in the middle of it. Then BOOM! my door gets kicked in. What the hell?!?!?! Now I'm pissed and scared... I text my cousin to call the cops. I didn't have phone service or I would have called myself. I also couldn't get outside thanks to my brother standing in the hallway blocking that path. I'd never seen him pissed like this before. I didn't know what he was going to do...

Finally he goes to his room. I B line it for outside. I call Toni to see if she has called the cops yet... She had. About 5 minutes later they show up. The first cops approaches me.. Crap... I know him... well of him... he's a friend from Jr. High and High School's brother... He asks what is going on.. I start to tell him.. he then walks past me and inside. I follow and call my mom downstairs. We each take our turns talking to the cops and telling our story. The whole time I'm bawling.. My mom's bawling and Mike's just pissed. Mean while the girls are downstairs doing god only knows. The cops then talk to them I'm not sure exactly what was said but I know the jist of it was you're not welcome here anymore.

They give Mike an arrest citation and ask him to leave to cool off. The girls leave through the garage before he does. The cops continue to talk to me and my mom. Then the cop I "knew" says "remember Matt Madsen?" "uh... yeah. why?" I respond. "oh that was just him on the air... he said to tell you hi." Wow.. now I feel dumb... My friend Matt now knows about what's going on... I knew he was with WVCPD I should have known... I decided to text him and say hi back... He said he would have come inside be had to go to another call. Thank god for that. I could only imagine what I looked like. :(

After all is said and done we sat and cried... Thinking what happened??!! I now had the worst migraine EVER!

I ended up throwing up a couple of times from the pain so I decided I needed to lay down.

Mike came home to get stuff... didn't say anything to us and left.

You'd think that after all this if you were "the girls" you would a. not come back for a while. b. come back get stuff and leave again. or c. come in and be like a ghost. not seen or heard. Well they did nothing of the sort. This is where I throw in that I work at 2 am Mon-Fri. and I'm up around 1-1:30 am. Well this morning I get woken up at 1 by the girls coming in the garage. I'm thinking "you have got to be kidding me!!!!" I then get up around 1:20 to get ready. I can hear them while I'm upstairs laughing and talking like nothing happened! I walked in my mom's room to see if she was up... yeah she was. I said "do you hear that?!" She looked and me and goes "yeah... I can't even believe it." I was so pissed! I wanted to walk down there and scream! "HAVE SOME FUCKING RESPECT!" sorry for the cursing but when I'm pissed I can't control it. nothing says it better than the F word. By the time I left for work the lights were off and it was quiet. no reason to cause a problem now.

Here I am now... on the computer looking at my Myspace. I happen across one of the girls pages and take a look at some pics... WHAT IS THIS!? I find a pic of one of them in MY SHIRT!!! not only that but the other one leaves a comment saying "Whitney's." So they clearly know it's not theirs!!!!!!!!!! WHO DOES THIS!? I want to write on her page and be like are you kidding me?! Here's the pic. I saved it just in case they decided to erase it I'll have it... EWWWWWWW! Well now the story is done. What happened to my life... how did it come to this?

ACBC

I was looking through some pics and I began to feel bad that I had really only mentioned the ACBC girls once in my blog. I know I only have like 9 entries but 9 too many for them not to be in it more.

ACBC is a group of 8 girls. We're best friends. We have ups and we have downs but when I need a friend I can always count on one of them to help me. I love them. They have helped shape who I am today.

Who are they? Well there's Brooke Patterson, Brittany Walker, Age (Adriane) Carol, Bekah Schuler, Sonya Reid, Kandyce Gabrielson, Jackie Jensen and myself. We live from Sandy, Draper, West Jordan, West Valley, Ogden, Chicago and for the moment all the way to China.

Some of these girls have been friend since they were preteens. They opened their hearts and the group to the rest of us.

I love you ladies!

Saturday Girls Night

First things first! Wonderful night!

My beautiful friend Jaime text me, on I believe it was Tuesday, letting me know she wanted to have a girls night. Her husband was going to be out of town and she wouldn't have the kids. I didn't have anything planned yet so I said I'd set it aside.














I have to admit.. I was a little worried that it might be awkward. I hadn't really hung out with these girls in a long time! Worry forever gone! I want to have another girl's night soon!

We started the night by meeting at Jaime's house at 6 pm. We headed to dinner at Chili's. While we were there we were able to catch up a little about people from school we haven't seen. We were taking pictures of the group which included: Myself, Jaime, Marissa, Emi, Annie, and Brandy. While the waitress took a picture a cowboy from another table decided he needed his pic taken too. Jaime gladly took his pic. She let him know she was going to title it "8 seconds." Too funny! *for those of you that don't know a bull ride qualifying time is 8 seconds :)* He then joined in on a group pic. Strange man. Dinner was awesome! I will never forget Jaime and her tambourine of chips. :)
After dinner we headed back to Jaime's do decided what to do next. We agreed on Bowling but first we needed snacks!

We head to Walmart to get some candy and what not. While in the candy aisle I think we got a bag of each candy. Candy every where! We were then walking near some camping gear and Jaime spotted one of those hunting fur hat things and decided it needed to be tried on. Then I spotted a hunting jumpsuit. I said you have to put that thing on. So she did. I laughed so hard! She was posing for pics and everything. All the while in my mind I was thinking "why did I have doubts about tonight? These girls are so much fun!" Then Marissa needed some slippers so we went on the search. We found the cutest boot slippers ever! we each got a pair and wore them to the bowling alley. As we were headed to the checkout lines Jaime was getting ready to take a pic of Emi and Annie who were looking at blanket stuff down an aisle. This other girl came out of an aisle and apologized for getting in the way of the pic. Jaime said "oh it's ok I don't even know them..." Again I laughed hysterically. If you know me then I'll just say I hiccuped for at least 20 minutes. lol


We made our way to the bowling alley and had a blast, again! Dancing and bowling upside down or backwards. and a bunch of yelling... it was pretty loud in there so you couldn't talk... you had to yell. We were getting ready to go and Emi's friend Megan showed up. We were standing near the doors and again Jaime made me laugh so hard. She would follow people out the doors or welcome them as they came in. Hiccups returned.

Back to Jaime's house we go. By this time I was starting to fade. I was exhausted but, having so much fun I didn't want to go. The girls played a game while I watched. We were able to do some more catching up and have some good laughs. Then it was almost 1 am and definitely time for bed. Marissa and I said our goodbyes and headed for the door into the snowy crap outside.

Thank you to Jaime and the rest of the girls that made this an awesome night! Let's do it again soon!

Migraines

Why? Why do I have to get these terrible migraines where all I want to do is curl up and die? My head is screaming to the point of me throwing up. Why can't the doctors figure out why I get these?

I've gotten to the point where I just try to stick them out... but my hell! this hurts!

I can't sleep because of the pain... well also because my brother is thumping his music in the next room. Damn Techno... doesn't help!!!

Ugh... I'm gonna retire to my room and hope for sleep... or death... anything to relieve this pain!

MxPx




So I had a decision to make this weekend. One concert. MxPx Friday night or The Big Ass Show pretty much all day Saturday? I decided on MxPx. I'm so glad I did! It was amazing! I asked Lane to go with me so I didn't have to rock out alone. He's a pretty big fan as well so he was happy to come along.

So we get there and a band named Tat was on. We took a spot near the bar where we could lean up against it. I wanted to get closer but I didn't want to get chucked into the mosh pit and get hit. My only past experience with a pit was during AFI. My good friend Kacy and I emerged from it covered in someone else's blood. Ewww.

Sound check starts for MxPx and I'm excited! We were standing sort of new the entrance area and I figured this was how they were going to come in. Lights go down and I'm watching between the stage and the entrance. They've got to be here somewhere. Then I see Yuri walk past us... arms length away. Then here comes Tom and Mike right behind him. I couldn't wait for them to get up there! By this time too many people started walking in front of us so I saw a gap in the crowd. I looked at Lane and said "I'm going up there!" I was two people away from the pit.. too close but it was ok.

The show was so good! They played a bunch of older songs and only one off the new album. I had such a good time. Then the were finishing and said they were gonna be back by the merch tables after their set. YAY! I might actually get to meet them!

They finish and Lane says "if you wanna get a chance you better get back there quick." So I nearly ran. :) I was standing there in the crowd and Yuri, again, walks past me. People started moving around and so there I was. Standing right next to Mike. No one else was talking to him so I just said Hi! I felt like a 12 year old at *NSYNC! He turned towards me and said hello. I asked him, trying not to look like an idiot, "can you sign these?" I handed him the tickets. He signed them and was fanning them so the signature would dry. Then I said "and the back of my shirt?" I happened to be wearing a Legionnaire shirt. It's a clothing line that he and Joe Moxley make. Love there stuff! I thought I had turned around for him to sign the back but I later found out from Lane that he had grabbed my arm to turn me around. :)


Mike Herrera. Holy Hot.

After that we made our way back to where we were standing to finish watching Lagwagon.


We left the show and headed home.


I had an amazing night and DEFINITELY made the right choice of which show to attend!
