Scary Fun

So I have been busting my ass trying to make money for all my bills that are due at the end of the month. And I just about have all the money I need. After Saturday, I figured out that I had to make $45 a day on Sun, Mon, and Tues. Today I made exactly $45. At least I made my goal.

After work I came home, took a little nap, and then showered. I picked up Les and we went to Posados. We sat in Chelsey's section, but I didn't get to talk to her much. She colored her hair and it looks cute. I really wish we got to see each other more. We really need to see each other's apartments.

After we stuffing our faces we went to Scare Grounds off of Oak Lawn. You have to pay a cover charge to get in and then you have to pay for the haunted house. You also have to buy coupons for anything like food. Also, when you buy your ticket for the haunted house it has a number on it. You have to wait until your group number is up to enter the haunted house. Our group number was 10 and the number that was up when we got there was 5. So we had to just walk around the tiny space and kill time. When we finally got to go in the haunted house, it wasn't that scary. We were at the back of the group, so they teenagers in front of us screamed before we even saw anything. I was also the caboose of the group. I felt safer behind Les, but things kept creeping up behind me and following me. Only once did I actually scream and jump in the haunted house. After doing that we went in the maze. That was actually scarier than the haunted house. Overall it wasn't that scary, but I still had fun.

It was only 10pm when we left, so we stopped by Blockbuster to rent The Reaping. I've been wanting to rent this movie for weeks and they never have it. So we go and sure enough, they are out. I'm convinced that they only have two copies and those are always being rented. So we went to Wal-Mart and Les bought it for me as an early birthday present. It turned out to be a good movie.

So tonight was a pretty good night. And in case you didn't know, my boyfriend is awesome.

While we were at Posados, Rodney invited us to his Halloween party. I was hoping someone would have one. So I think we might go to that. The girls from work want to go out for my birthday, but I don't know when or where. I'd like to go out on Thursday night, but I don't know if everyone is off. I don't really care what we do as long as it involves drinking!

Update

It has been a while since I have posted anything, so here is what I have been up to:

Wednesday night Rebecca, Sarah, and Emily came over for a girls night. I cooked enchiladas for everyone. The enchiladas had cheese and beef on the inside and were topped with green chili sauce. I cooked black beans and rice to go along with it. We also ate some of the pico Mom made me. I wasn't too impressed with the beans and rice, but the enchiladas were a hit!


Here is me cooking. I made everything by myself, except Rebecca rolled the tortillas.





For drinks I made apple martinis and pink panties (vodka and pink lemonade). I finally got to use my martini glasses from Crate and Barrel.

We had a lot of fun and decided we need to get together more often. Plus it was nice having people over.

Since Thursday I've just been working. My sciatica has been bothering me, so working hasn't been too pleasant. Mom let me borrow her heating pad, which has helped a lot.

Friday I went into work and worked my butt off and made $131. I was so excited. I haven't had any money this month so I'm left with no choice but to pick up as many shifts as I can. Right now I have to make $400 by the end of the month. So no free time for Lacey :(

Today I went on an interview at Katz radio. I think it went pretty well, but she told me that they were interviewing a lot of people, so that doesn't make me feel so confident. I also had to take a math test while I was there, which was strange. I ran into Mark in the hall and was excited to see him. I really wish I could have worked with him.

After the interview I came home, changed into my pajamas, and snuggled under the covers. I fell asleep and was woken up by the phone. The president of Champion Sports Radio wanted to set up an interview with me. I called him back and set up an interview. Him and the vice president are taking me to lunch Wednesday morning to talk. I am so nervous. While I was on the phone with him, I had a call beep in. I had a voicemail from a lady at FOX. She wanted to set up an interview as well. So Wednesday afternoon I am going to talk to her. All that was pretty cool, but strange at the same time. Hopefully one of these interview will lead to a job.

Since it's so cold outside I turned off the ac, but now I'm cold. I don't want to turn the heat on because I want to save money, plus it will probably be too warm. But I hope it stays cool for a while longer.

And that is what I have been up to. My birthday is next week and I am none too excited. I think Les is working on Halloween and my birthday. Mom can't take off from work. And getting everyone together is too much of a hassle. Plus I didn't do anything for anyone else's birthday, so I don't expect them to do anything for mine. I also don't have any money to do anything. But I hope I don't end up sitting around the house by myself that day. Maybe I will go get my hair done that day.

Fishy

I bought these candle holders last night at Walmart. They hang outside.


Here is my little fish. If you can't tell, he's white and blue.

Yo soy no bueno

I must be in some kind of funk. I've been having crappy days and have also been feeling depressed. I didn't get to go to the fair today. I was looking forward to it, but Mom got sick. Then I spent all afternoon trying to find someone who would hang out with me, and everybody was busy or unreachable. All I wanted to do was not spend the entire day all be myself.

Later on I went to Walmart and did what I always do when I'm depressed: shop. I bought groceries, some makeup, and a fish. It's a male Japanese fighting fish. He's pretty. I will have to post a picture of him later. I also have to figure out a name for him. It's been a very long time since I've owned a fish. I guess I was feeling lonely when I bought it.

Rain is in the forecast

It's raining outside! This past weekend wasn't any different from all the other weekends: work, sleep, work, complain, work, sleep.

Saturday night I went over to Liz's new apartment. It's an older apartment, but it's cute. Once she gets some furniture and decorates, it'll be real cute.

Today I went over to Mom's after work. She had been real sick, so I brought her some food from Sonic. I also got a whopper shake and a lemon cream slush. Both are delicious!

Today is cleaning day, but I'm not going to clean. It may be strange, but I like to clean while the sun is shining. Maybe it makes me feel like things are getting cleaner. Maybe Tuesday I will give the place a good cleaning.

I'm glad it's raining, because I like the rain. But I have a feeling that the power might go out. Also, there is a little creek outside my apartment and everytime it rains, I have a fear of little kittens getting swept away in it. Now, I have never seen any kittens around my apartment, but there are cats. I frequently peak out my window to see if I need to run down there and save a helpless animal. I'm weird, yes I know.

Tomorrow I get to pick up my car. I had to put it in the shop last week to fix the door (from when it was broken into). They gave me an extended cab Ford F150 to drive around while my car was being fixed. It's huge! But I like it. I will be sad to give it back, but I won't miss parking that monster.

I also need to call Christal Radio tomorrow. He said to call at the begining of the week to see if I have a second interview. I really hope I do. And I really hope I get the job.

Good day so far

Today I had my job interview. I think it went really well, so hopefully this will be it. I actually interviewed with 2 different companies, which is fine because I would work for either.

Tonight I am going to the movies with Mom. We are going to see Across the Universe. I can't wait!

I've been thinking about my hair lately. I've already decided that I'm going to go darker for winter, but I don't know when I should color it. Also, I'm thinking about getting bangs. I haven't committed to it yet, but I'm definitely thinking about it.

Bleh

Well, I'm still sick. I called in to work yesterday. All I've been doing is laying around on the couch and sleeping a lot. I rented a bunch of movies Tuesday because I knew I would be trapped in my apartment for a few days. I've already watched Evan Almighty, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and 28 Weeks Later. When I finish with this post I will watch Music and Lyrics.

I'm feeling better, but I still have no energy and I feel sick to my stomach. On the bright side, I have a job interview tomorrow at Crystal Clear Radio. It's for a sales assistant position. I'm excited, but not too excited. I just don't understand why I'm not getting the jobs I interview for. But I will be positive and hopefully I will get this job. I really need money. I feel like I'm struggling. I don't know if I really am or if it's just mental.
