Hiatus and Visitors

Ok so I know it has been a very very long time since I've updated and I'm sorry. This semester is just taking up so much time that I don't find that I can easily sit here and type about what's happening with me. I can assure you that all is well, school and work are both taking a lot of hours but I am also managing to keep myself well balanced with fun things too. I just want to tell you that until I don't feel that I am behind in school and needing more hours in a week or day or whatever I won't be posting.

Side note, it's come to my attention that I have had some unexpected site activity. Recently I've had about 9 site visits from all over (Portugal, Columbia University, Boston, Chicago, etc) which is pretty cool. Granted they don't stay long but I find it interesting that it appears that they're all in-clicking to my entry "Get With the Program: It's Spring Not Summer" and the lovely photo of the snapdragons. Kind of curious why but hey, whatever.

Until later.

Jury Duty Update

Just wanted to update to let you know that I will be reporting for jury duty tomorrow morning at 8:15. Sigh. That means I have to set my alarm. And get out of bed. And dress nicely. Not that I am saying I don't dress nice, but I like my flip-flops and jeans. Both no-no's according to the bold red font. Such party poopers.

I'll let you know what method gets me out of serving. And I promise to update on the going ons from August sometime this week.

Saturday Surprise

Saturday after work I had a bit of a surprise waiting for me. And it's not the kind of surprise that you get all goofy and excited over. You know, the type of thing where your sentences are all fast and squished together because you're trying to share the excitement with anyone and everyone as fast as you can. Yeah, totally not that type.

It's the type of surprise that makes you want to hide, or move or have any excuse not to deal with it. It's the worst mail (besides a large credit card bill when you're broke) that could arrive at anytime. It's a jury duty summons.

Sigh.

They finally found me. I received a summons for Santa Barbara County earlier in the year and I was excused since I live over here in the gateway to hell* to attend school. Apparently news got out among the summoners that I haven't had to report for a few years and that they needed to find me and summon me now. Mission accomplished. Well played Kern County Superior Court system, well played.

My potential report date is Tuesday, September 8th. Exactly one week before my fall quarter starts. Hopefully they won't even need me to come in, or if I do have to go in then I'll be excused. I don't need to be selected for duty this close to classes starting, especially when superior court handles the bigger (and most likely longer) cases. We pay for me to go to school, not to just buy the expensive text books.

Hopefully this photo will be the closest I get to the juror box**:

* I have discovered that B-field is the gateway to hell by simple observation. As everyone and their mother knows, B-field gets hot in the summer. So hot that the temperature reaches (and often exceeds) 113.4 degrees. In fact, the high temp one day was 113.4. And this, as we all know from making words on our calculators, spells "hell" when viewed upside down. Mystery solved.

** Not that I'd mind terribly if I did have to serve in the future, I'd just prefer not to during the school year.

Friday Night Is Awesome Again

I just found this video and I love it. Probably because it's of my favorite show ever, but mainly because it's a great promo clip. No you're right, it's all because it's of Psych. Do you watch it yet/already? If your answer is no, get on that! Seriously, it's great.

Seriously. Amazing.

Back To Work

Thursday I finally went back to work after my back issues. I got a doctor's note clearing me on Monday but still didn't have anything scheduled until today. I was planning on going to the dollar theater to see Night at the Museum 2 (I really want to see it, the previews were great) but I got a call from one of my coworkers asking me to take her shift that evening. I didn't think twice before I told her I'd be happy to. Night at the Museum could wait, adding funds to my next practically non-existent paycheck couldn't.

I now plan to go see the movie on Tuesday. This way I can pay half price, $1! And of course I'll be filling my Mary Poppins bag with snacks and something to drink. I have always had a big purse available for trips to the movies, I could not imagine sneaking goodies in any other way. Poor guys, just another reason why being a lady is cooler. Hehe.

I <3 Txt

Nothing is better than a good long phone call but sometimes the random text messages that show up makes my day. Take for example this gem from my mom:

OMG!!! Rascal just saved my life! Killer leaf in the backyard, I swear it was making it's way to the door! We're both ok.

This is why cats are such good pets. Who needs a guard dog?

Then there is this one from my dad:

The other night I thought I was seeing things, I decided I was crazy. Well I am not! I just found a blue belly lizard listening to music with me. Have fun. Love dad :-D

I asked him if he was listening to bluegrass...

Finally there is the one from Jas:

Bradley Cooper is HOT!!!

No argument here, he is deserving of those three exclamation points.
