Feels like another monday

It really does. when i woke up this morning, it was like it was a monday all over again. Things were just too hard to get going this morning. And i didn't even drink any green beer last night.
I canceled my vet appointment i had for my girlie dog because, frankly, i can't afford it right now. I spent too much this past weekend on stuff that i don't have the extra cash to take her. She will be fine. There was nothing wrong, just wanted a check up.
I think another thing that is getting to me is that i am watching more tapes from Iraq. It is so hard to watch sometimes, although these are FAR less worse than some that i have seen. These kids are true heros in a strange land and it makes me sad.. When i have to transcribe an interview with someone that is so young, i can't help but wonder if they are still alive.
Just a bad situation for some kids that just wanted an affordable way to go to school...

So, did you check out my blocks? What do you think??? thanks, i appreciate that.. Again, since no one but my sister comments, I will have to just assume that they are wonderful and i can do no wrong (see what you created. don't blame me, blame yourselves)
Same goes for my youtube videos. NO one ever comments or favorites my videos.. SO MANY People have watched the ones from the stock show, but only 2 comments on one video and only one favorite-ed on the other.. what gives??? Again, i will only have to assume that they are great and everyone is just so struck by awe when the finish that they have to take a long bath to get t feeling themselves again.. Like i said, don't blame me, blame only yourselves.

Chicago trip is getting closer. I love it when friends tell me that they are flying to Raleigh for those shows, like they are the only ones that are special enough to travel for Panic and I get to come back that we are going to Chicago, sooner than they will be going to NC, and we get a whole extra show.. Are you kidding, Raleigh.. no thanks. Chicago is where it is going to be at..
AND IT WILL BE MY BIRTHDAY.
so, get to shopping people.. it's coming up fast.

I have softball practice this afternoon and then i will know if i get to keep pitching for our team. I really want to, so i have been practicing in my backyard. Our first game in on Thursday. I am in between excited and anxious already. this is only for fun, but i have this weird "work ethic" in me, that if i am going to do something, i want to be able to do it right, effectually, and effectively. so I have this thing that is pushing me to feel a little stressed for this game.. IT IS ONLY SOFTBALL JENN; CHILL OUT... I will let you know how i did. And of course, since i have practice, Big Brother will have to wait until i get home.. and beware all SURVIVOR lovers, it is moving to Wednesdays this week. I don't know if this is a permanent move, but it is at least for this week. So be on your toes..

AND........here are things that i knew before you did...
