“What do you know about conflict resolution? Your answer to everything is to get divorced.”

I don’t know if your home is like ours, but we get at least 3 tele-marketer calls each and everyday. Some of you right now are probably saying “You need to register on the Do Not Call List.” The problem is that we are already registered. Maybe there is some glitch that you have to re register ever two weeks, but that the service doesn’t start until the third week.

Today I must have recieved the oddest call from a tele- marketer. I was working at home when the phone range and I check the caller ID and it was a local cemetary, curious I answered the phone and was told that I was the lucky winner of funeral plot. Being only 23 and reasonably healthy I wondered to myself what kind of poor person has to call some random stranger to try and sell funeral plots. I can’t imagine that anyone is excited to win a funeral plot, especially when they are only 23 years old. I guess there was one bright spot in my recent call, the voice on the other end was a real person. Imagine how twisted it would be to receive a phone call from a machine that is telling you you won a plot.

Monday, Monday, Monday. Today I got to sleep in and I don’t know when that will happen again, but I’m sure I will slack off somewhere and get around to it ;) Last week was great, everyone! Let’s see, where to start. Well, Monday I worked at MHY in the evening so I could have Saturday night off. It was fine; we played basketball for an entire hour, and I lack skills HUGELY :) It was fun though, and some of the girls really played well. My team got creamed because there is a certain staff who is SO athletic, and she was playing against us! She is cool tho, ha.

Tuesday I had off, but Sam and I were up wth the sun to send him off to class in the morning. That evening I met with a girl who is looking for help with her cleaning business a few mornings a week. So… hence the present predicament of zero sleep in days. The girl seems really nice, and we talked for about an hour. I’m going over there tomorrow morning to get taught… how to clean, lol. THEN, Will and Sam came home after night class; Will was waiting to pick up Denise from work at 11:30, and I was eating some fig newtons. I apparently had a seed stuck in my mouth, and when I inhaled forcefully, it went down my air pipe! I was choking and didn’t know it! Fortunately with Sam hitting my back and me struggling to breathe, the seed was forced free and I had oxygen. Man oh man was that scary!

Wednesday I was at MHY in the morning, and school went pretty well. Then, that night, Sam and I watched Flight of the Phoenix, AND the PREMIERE OF LOST!!! It was very exciting, and I’ve been tv free for so long I forgot what it was like to be so engrossed in a show :)

Thursday I had off again and after sleeping in WAY TOO LATE I got up and cleaned a little (something I actually have to do again and it’s only Monday). That evening, we had Wil and Denise over again, and when the guys were in class we went to her house. She showed me a job position available for me and her in Homewood, and we got really excited about it!

Friday I worked a double at MHY. It was a crazy night because of unit problems, and I got very behind on stuff I had to get done because of it. I called the Homewood job in the morning, while hiding from anyone that could here me talking about a new job (lol), and they told me the position was still available and to send my resume.

Saturday I worked in the morning again, and it was a crazy crazy crazy shift because I was playing make up from Friday’s shinanigans. I left late and tired, but headed to Beaver Falls to see Mere and Megan and instantly was full of energy because I was so excited to see them! And I got to see Amy and Stacey for a sec too!!!! It was really fun and too short to visit too. We ate at the Wooden Indian after getting lost (and Megan time traveled us from New Brighton to Beaver really creepily!!), and caught up on each other’s lives. Then I left for Pittsburgh, and Sam and I went to see The excercism of Emily Rose. It wasn’t as horrific as I thought it would be, and it made you think about whether or not demons existed, but it was also hard to believe it happened sence they claimed that Emily was a God-loving woman – why would she become possessed in the first place if she had the holy spirit in her heart? Anyway, it could have been a lot worse, and for that I was slightly greatful.

Sunday Sam and I went to Sunday school and the topic was communication. I liked it a lot; everyone says things they shouldn’t when they are mad or frustrated; even newliweds! :) Church was good too, our pastor is preaching a series on John (just like pastor salvaggio did last fall, ha). We watched Monster-In-Law in the afternoon, and a new tenant moved in upstairs so we helped her get all of her boxes upstairs too. Then it was off to night church where we studied Isaiah 40. I really enjoyed it, and I am starting to love going there in general, even if I am the youngest person in there by far (okay, a boy sits w/ his parents too, but that just doesn’t count). Shortly after that was over, Sam and I kinda rushed home to barbeque with our TWO neighbors, snce Phoebe just moved in. It was fun talking and having fellowship, and we closed off the late night with a gave of careers, haaha. Of course I lost again!!!

Well, this was a long entry! It’s very late to still be getting ready for the day, but I need to go shower, ha. More next week!
