really tired from working this evening. i'll update more tomorrow...

Ms. Costa and other stuff

2005-06-01T03:55:47Z

So it's been one week since I bought my Nikka Costa CD from Best Buy. It is so much better then I could have ever imagined. I feel Nikka speaks to my soul and I love it. Her songs are just so real and I love how she is a screamer because it is so much fun to sing along to. I strongly urge everyone to go and get this CD cause it is just that good. Not a bad song on the whole CD.

In other news, today was my orientation at Bath and Body. It really should be interesting, I learned alot today. I love my discount so maybe if you are good I'll buy you a gift. Before the orientation I had class at 8 am. That crazy lady (Northrup) let us out at 8:30AM!! I guess it was good because I was able to run some errands before my Stats class at 10:30. Then the Stats professor let us out a 11:15, instead of 12:30. That was good thing because I getting very tired. I took a very brief nap and woke up and felt refreshed. After orientation I went back to the TC Office and made some calls. Now I am very exhausted so I'm going to take a nice shower and read myself to sleep. Good Night!

Don't mess with my daddy...

2005-05-30T20:11:54Z

Rangers game was great. Last night I went over to Josh's place to have grilled things. Sarah, La Toya, and some Pikes were over there too. On Saturday evening me and Erica went to the liquor store and got a few drinks. Stay away from the Tranchula drink, or maybe Tequila is not for me. Truett (our old neighbor) came by to visit and we watching the end of Napolieon Dynamite. There is a hidden scene after the credits that is just hilarious. Ok so you may be wondering about my subject of this entry. Last night someone tried to steal my dad's truck. The alarm went off and he jumped out of bed and grabed his gun. He was really going to shoot this person but lucky for the thief he ran away. I believe in Texas you are allowed to shoot people for self defense and to protect property. That person would have been in alot of trouble because my dad has a good shot...Anyways, here to the last day of freedom. Starting tomorrow I have classes from 8am-1pm (Monday-Thursday) and tomorrow I have training at Bath & Body at 2pm until whenever. I am really excited about starting but it will be a great change from going minimal activity for 3 1/2 weeks.

I'm still here...

2005-05-24T19:15:51Z

I've been doing so much stuff, I don't even know where to start.

Well for starters another semester is finished and I'm really close to graduating. I think that will be one of the happiest days of my life, because this has not been easy folks. I went to Sha'tu's graduating about a week ago and it was very inspiring. Sha'tu received her Master's in Sociology and when she was hooded I almost cried. I knew of the struggle it was for her to get through that and it was a true accomplishment. So after that I wonder how emotional I’m going to be at my own graduation in December. I also need to purchase a class ring, just to make it more real. I didn’t get a ring in high school because I thought it was passé and I didn’t like the gaudy stones in them. I want to get one similar to Bonnie’s because it’s small and classy. There isn’t a stone in it so I like it even more.

So yall may be wonder why I’m so giddy right now. It’s cause it’s May 24^th. And what makes this day so special?? I am currently listening to a CD that I’ve waited four years to come out. NIKKA COSTA!!!! I’m listening to it an I just can’t believe it…but Ms. Costa is worth her own LJ entry so I will write about it later after I get through the CD and let all her greatness soak in. To those that hear me talk about her all the time, I probably am good now until the next CD is about to come out.

A new hobby that has developed is going to professional sports events. I’ve always liked sports but now I’m growing to love them. I attended 2 Mavs playoff games. I went with Bonita and Lynn. Both of the games I went to they lost, but it was still a good experience. The second game, Game 6 with the Suns was very sad. Everyone thought they were going to win. I’ve been to one Rangers game this season. Since Bonnie works there she can hook her friends up. So the last one it was Bonnie, Aletheia, and me. I saw the Red Sox, and I have a new baseball crush (Manny Ramirez), lol. Tomorrow I’m going to watch the Rangers again and this time we have Gold Club Access so I’m excited, and I’m sure I’ll update and tell yall all about that. I’ve also been listening to the radio station The Ticket to get better sports insight and knowledge. Now if the Stars could get off strike so I can start watching them…

This past Sunday I hosted a Desperate Housewives soirée, in honor of the finale. That finale show showed everyone why that is the best show on TV. All the big secrets that they have been developing all came out in this episode. I cooked a lot of food for the soirée. I cooked boneless wings, Velveeta and rotel, and 3 dozen meat pies that were just great. People also brought food and that was much appreciated. I was in total Bree mode for this function and everything went perfectly.

I’m also happy because I’ve found a second job with great benefits. I’ll be working at Bath and Body Works in Lincoln Square. Since Bath and Body is a part of Limited Brands I get a discont to all of their stores. That includes: Bath and Body, The Limited, Express, Express Men, Victoria Secret and White Candle Barn. So I am very pleased because I can now work on the weekends. Telecouncelor office is now closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so I need the hours. I will be starting Summer I on May 31^st. I’m taking 2 classes; I’m in the homestretch of getting the hell out of here.

Hopefully I won’t go this long in updating this journal cause there is just so much I want to say but I’ve forgotten some of what has gone on.

kimnicole716 @ 2005-04-05T23:03:00

2005-04-06T04:03:22Z

So I’m sitting under the hair dryer for my new Tuesday ritual and I was thinking I should update my lj…especially now since I’m paying for it. I guess I’ll talk about my day and anything else. I was woken up this morning to my cell phone ringing by my sister freaking out because she thought she was going to be late to her hair appointment that I scheduled for her. Mind you I didn’t go to bed until after 4am for some crazy reason so the early phone calls were not very fun. Then I got up and got dressed to give a special tour at 11:15am. Before I gave the tour I picked up a Strawberry-Pineapple Frappe from Bethany’s. Those people that I toured were monsters…they were from some school in Irving and were supposed to be good little engineering people. I could hardly give my tour but I didn’t care because I was still getting paid and it was their loss. After dropping them off at Connections Café I went to visit Sha’tu. She was in a conference and I visited with Joke for a little wile. That was pleasant and a was able to check in with her and see how things were going. I didn’t know that she was trying to get into Columbia University Law School. If she makes it that will be really awesome so I wish her luck. Then I went to the Basement of the UC to visit with the Student Governance Office and cool down from my tour. I got to talk to a some people that I like and some people I really do not care for at all. (I promise I’m not trying to be mean here). I’m so glad I’m not participating in elections this semester because I need to focus on getting out of this place. I then went to a meeting about the Student Life Initiative. I’m going to vote for it because 1. I won’t have to pay for it because they will start charging the fees once each building opens and 2. it will make the university better and more traditional. After the meeting I was very hungry so I got a chicken sandwich from The Plaza. I also stopped by to visit Sha’tu and catch up with her. We chatted a while and then Erica called me to tell me she was at Chili’s and asked if I would join her. It took me a while to leave Sha’tu’s place so I called Erica back and she said she was still there, so I joined her. I had water and Erica ordered a tripe play before I got there and a slice of cheesecake. I got some too and it was so great. The great thing is I had cheesecake and I’m still losing weight so I don’t know what is going on. We left there and I had to go and take care of some business at Davis Hall. I stopped by the TC Office and got sucked into a shift meeting. My supervisor was disturbing me about something he kept saying in the meeting. I’m proud of myself because I let him know how he was making me feel right there and it made me feel a lot better. I wasn’t trying to argue but I knew that if I didn’t let him know how I felt right there it would just fester and I would probably have a bad attitude at work. I came back to the apartment and changed and went to Student Congress Committee Meeting. After that I came back to the apartment, fixed a small meal and have been relaxing around here. Today was a very busy day!!!

Long time, no see

2005-03-20T05:42:56Z

It's been almost a month since I've written in this thing. BAD KIM! Well I don't even know who reads this but I will continue to write just for me. I'm not even going to try and update with what going on becuase there has just been too much, but I will start with Spring Break... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! Waking up whenever and lounging around has been great for me. Now I need to be very productive for the rest of the semester. I went to work Monday-Thursday, and I'm kinda behind on my calls because we had a special project to complete. I just got back from the UTA v. Tech Women's Basketball game. Even though we lost (bad) it was still a great experience. They played at Reunion Arena and it was on ESPN2. They are making progress and it was awesome that they made it that far. Well now I'm tired and I'm debating going to church tomorrow. Well one thing is for certain, I am going to workout because I feel a difference since I've slowed that down. Also, I am going to start a running program soon, because the weather is starting to get better and its going to be really nice outside.

Goodnight

P.S. I really miss having new episodes of Desparate Housewives. I guess I am addicted because I am really missing that show. It has been off for 3 weeks and hopefully I'll still like it when it comes back on. *sigh*

2005-02-22T02:27:45Z

I hate I left yall with such a bummer entry...I'll probably update sometime later tonight.

When it rains it pours...

2005-02-06T09:33:18Z

I haven't updated in a long time because I have been too busy. I feel I need to write about last week so that it can be behind me. On January 26 was a weird day. I was in class and everybody kept calling me. Mother, sister, friends...I was getting about 4 calls in each class, 'mind you I have 4 classes so this was getting a little annoying. Finally I was able to call people back and I found out that a family close to my family oldest son killed himself. Many things scare me about this family because it is freakishly parallel to my family. The dad is a police officer, and my dad's best friend. And his ex-wife is from Louisiana like my mother...and the same thing that happened to their son "happened" to my brother. So yeah this brought up all kinds of suppressed memories. I wouldn't wish this on anyone because it truly sucks. So on that day I finally started talking to my mother and she was bawling on the phone but I still had another class. I went to class and called into work because I felt I needed to check on my mother. She was not doing so good when I went to visit her and I just had to tell her that it was OK not to be OK. The services were on Feb. 1st and that was very sad. I told my mom and sister I was so highly medicated during my brother's stuff that I 1. didn't cry and 2. can hardly remember it. I needed that at that time because I was in summer school, working, and I needed to stay focused. The most recent services when I heard people yelling and screaming his name the emotion almost came over my and I really was not even that close to this guy. Saturday was the first day I woke up and felt refreshed since the funeral. I only skipped the second half of Latin on Wednesday because I couldn't stand in anymore and Wednesday was a really long day for me. Other then that I have been going full speed and I feel I need to slow down. I can't keep going like this. I seriously need a vacation. But I'm glad I'm going to church tomorrow and we are going to work early so we can watch the Super Bowl. I'll probably just go and workout and finish up some homework.

so so tired...

2005-01-27T04:43:18Z

this has been such a long day and i am so tired...i'll write about this later.

Whoa, the devil was after me this morning!

2005-01-16T19:54:24Z

I woke up this morning without my alarm going off. It was 7:25 and I was supposed to pick Bethany up to go to church in Dallas for 8:00. Luckily I showered in the middle of the night because I couldn't sleep and I was cold, so I didn't have to do that. I really didn't fix my hair (flat iron) because it didn't need it so I didn't have to do that. I got dressed and raced downstairs to see that I had ice all over my window. I was thinking, "Dear Lord, now what am I supposed to do." I got in the car and wiped the windows with the wipers and pondered going upstairs and getting water. I got it clear enough to drive and get Bethany. I look down and my gas meter was on E! The gas light was on and that is what I was waiting for but I didn't want it to be E. My dad told me that once the gas light came on I should have about 70 more miles to go. I was seriously praying from the way from Bethany's that I would make it to the gas station. I made it and it was so cold outside but it had to be done or we would have been stranded on 30 in the cold. Once we got on 30 and I was going really fast we were only about 7 minutes late for church. When they let us in it was crowded because First Methodist Denton was visiting. The whole service was racially charged because of MLK holiday and they had to feel weird and uncomfortable. The music was so great and I am so glad that I did not just stay in bed and fought through this force this morning. In the service during the call for membership this lady went down for prayer. When they were introducing her, she took the mic from the pastor. Then the lady went on to tell everyone she was going to read from the bible and told everyone to open theirs with her. She couldn't read so she needed someone to bring her reading glasses and sure enough someone brought her glasses. She was talking and babbling and I was sure she was about to do something crazy. She read this super long passage from the bible in I Samuel. She told everyone to open there bibles to I Samuel and that if you wanted to leave you could. I seriously considered it. She was reading and reading and everyone was wondering if she was ever going to stop. The man that was sitting behind us told us to pray for her silently. I just started saying please make her stop, please make her stop. About 5 minutes later she did. Come to find out, this woman was troubled. Her mother recently passed away and I gathered from what she said after her prayer that she was mad with specific people in the church because they didn't respond to her phone calls as soon as she wanted them to. This woman was hurt and grieving. After she started talking again without the mic, she asked for a little more time. Everyone collectively and softly said "NO". I think she just wanted someone to listen to her but in the words of Bonita, there was no reason to hold the whole church hostage. I also decided that I am going to Africa this summer with my mother. It is about a week long in July after my birthday. I'm kinda scared but I think I can get over it in time for the trip. Well now I'm gonna rest a little before I go to work because this has been an exhausting day and it is only 1:50pm.

Ok so what have I been doing since my last post...

2005-01-13T10:17:02Z

ah working and shopping. When I am at work, I think I'm working too fast because I’m running out of things to do. I need to pace myself. Today when I was finished with my calls and we all took a long break me and Sarah went upstairs to the Admissions Office to shred old call sheets. At first I thought we were going to save those sheets for something because he was telling us to make sure our name was on it. Oh today Carl tricked me about working on Saturday. He asked me if I was coming in and I said "I guess" and then he told me that I had to give a tour for the VIC. Boo...Whatever. I just told him I'll do it but that I do not want to have to type the interest cards into the system because that is a pain. So he said he will find someone else to do that. Other news, the other day I bought an exercise ball from Galyans. It was only $15 because all the stuff with the brand name Galyans is on sell by 25% because some place call Dick's has bought out Galyans. So that was an awesome discovery. Tomorrow I have a hair appointment. I have a lot of financial stuff going on but I just have to get my hair done. It's been a while and school is starting soon. Hopefully on Saturday I can pick up my digital camera from this old lady's house. I could have gone a while a go but I didn't leave it and I didn't want to go by myself. I think the other Sarah and maybe Crystal is going with me. Something weird just happened before I started typing this entry. Nothing gross or anything so doesn’t be worried. I could blame it on circumstance but it happens so frequently and it is really starting to weird me out. Well on that note, I'm out!

UTA is going to pay me today...

2005-01-06T12:28:30Z

because I am working 14 hours. Oh! What a beautiful morning! It is 6:20ish and I'm getting ready for a late orientation. I would really rather be under my hot blanket and sleeping. These people are really kinda late for registering for class. Registration for these people starts at 2:30pm and that goes for 2 hours or so. Then I'm supposed to go in to Telecouncelor for 4pm-9pm. I'm going to be totally drained. If you want call my cell phone throughout the day and tell me something happy or funny.

Tonight I went back to where I said I wouldn't return...

2005-01-05T10:35:40Z

HUMPERDINKS!!! Erica invited me while I was eating my dinner. She Made it sound like only a few people where going to be there, and there were a little more then a few. But some of them were kinda drunk so it was ok. We were watching the football game and I was playing the Playmaker trivia game. That was fun, but kinda hard. I was playing against myself but it was the first time I played it so it was something new. My strawberry daiquri cost way too much. It seems like everytime I've been going there recently I leave unhappy or they screw something up, but it's ok because I am in the company of friends. Tomorrow I have to go and help Lynn clean her room or her mother is going to kick her out of the house. I am really not trying to have her live at my house so yes I'm living by if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. This is cutting into my workout time but I guess I need to help her. While I'm in Dallas I need to pick up my new licence plates from the dealership :) Then I have to race back to Arlington to go to work from 4pm-9pm. Tonight we acually worked very hard and then the system broke. Carl (my supervisor) is so patient with us because we are really annoying with our questions and stuff. But really that's all he is there to do when we work is answer our questions. I have a pretty easy schedule for the Spring and I should be posting that on Yahoo! Calendars soon. Well back to bed.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

2005-01-02T05:25:02Z

Last night I drunk way too much. I didn't puke or throw up but I was almost there. I was very dizzy and disoriented. I can't even tell yall how much I had but it was alot. It was all great fun. I have been zooming around in my car. Remember how I said the car had 18 miles, well I just love driving it so much that it now has 238 miles! But hey, a car is made to drive. Well now I'm going to bed so I can go to church tomorrow at 8am because the Lord has been good to me. Bye!
