birthday stuff

Those of you who care probably already know that my birthday is tomorrow. The work people are taking me to lunch in a few minutes. We're going to the Thai place, so I'm excited. Generally only Shannon will go there with me. I already got a present, delivered by UPS this morning from Dave and Rachel. I also already opened it. :) They got me the Fresh Sugar perfume that I loved, but was too cheap to buy. They are awesome like that. Although I know it was Rachel, since she has picked out all my presents since my 14th birthday. And tonight I'm going to Mariah's with friends, so that should be fun. They even tried to make having pick a place easier on me by having everyone present last night write a place down and then I picked from those. I just hate deciding because I don't want anyone to be unhappy. My dad called me this morning and said I don't have to decide whether I want to go to O'boro with them tomorrow or not because they're going Sunday. Sunday's totally cool with me. Dad said he'd make me a cake tomorrow and my grandma will probably make cheesecake for Sunday. She's awesome like that. The work people bought a cheesecake at Sam's Club for later. So that's cool too. Time for lunch!

llloooooonnnnnngggggggg

This week has seemed pretty long. And I think I figured out what I was forgetting on Tuesday. I was supposed to go to the practice at church for Sunday because I'm on graphics. It's ok though because my dad called me and told me to come and I managed to get there before they started. I've been in a NyQuil/DayQuil fog all week. Even though it says it won't make you sleepy, the DayQuil box is totally lying. Not cool. I saw the Last Kiss and Running With Scissors this week. I liked the Last Kiss better than Running With Scissors, which was not as good as the book. I also joined Netflix. Which is exciting, but only for me. I can't wait to go home. I am so finished with all my work.

no duties

Just kidding. I called the number and the jury trial was cancelled or something. Whatever. So, I'm at work. Which is at least predictable. And it's snowing, which is pretty. But I feel worse today than yesterday. And everyone wants to know what I want for my birthday, but I don't know. I'm the queen of indecision. I also seem to attract others who can't make decisions, as I have several friends that I actually have trouble getting together with because none of us will pick a place or a date or a time. Anyway, back to work. Happy Valentine's Day!

duties

So I have to go to jury duty tomorrow. At least, at this point I think I have to. You know, you're supposed to call some number after 6 and it will tell you if you have to go. You have to be there at 7:45. I totally don't even usually leave for work by 7:45. But it does only take me 6 minutes to get to work. I think I'm getting sick because my nose is all funky. I guess I'll stop on the way home and buy some Benadryl and/or Nyquil. I need to actually go to the grocery, but I really don't feel like it. I think there's something I've been forgetting to do, but I can't quite hold onto that thought. If you think you know the answer, let me know. :)

Another survey

This particular survey was missing about ten questions so I made some up. Also, there were some questions I thought were really dumb, so I changed them. So fourteen of these questions are mine.
