Today, Barb is feeling: hot, sticky and sweaty

so today has been all hot and yucky. i swear it got up to like the 90's or so! i took a shower around noonish, and it is almost like it never happened!
i am dog and house sitting for this lady Ruth, and the dogs get to sleep in the basement where it is nice and cool. if there were a bed down there for me, that is where i would be too.

so yea, i haven't been here in a really long time and i am sorry about that.
i have been busy moving, packing, unpacking, and trying to find a job. but guess what?
i was offered a job at Best Buy! I will be working in the Media section, that is the CDs and DVDs. i am going to call them tomorrow and see what is up. i went and took a drug test on last tuesday, and sence i know that i will pass it, i just need to figure out why they haven't called. the lady at the drug testing center said they would get back to me in 1-3 days. i had to assume that was business days and 3 days would have been friday. so since they didn't call my home or cell today, i am calling them tomorrow.

lets see....
"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."
great quote from one of the many summer movies that i want to see, Dodgeball - A true underdog story.

so i got to work at the Conventin Center doing security a few days ago, and i got to do security for the john Edwards show thing. he is the guy on tv who communicates with the dead. i got to see him from like about 40 feet away. it was kinda cool. but as i was standing guarding the people, there were these 4 ladies from Iowa who had come up to see him. they were 3 sisters and a sister in law. they were really cool and nice to hang out with and chat with for the 4 hours that we were waiting for the doors to open.

have i mentioned that i have put on like 5 layers of deoterant and it feels like it hasn't helped at all?

but so we were all chatting for the hours and it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
then 2 days later, i was supposed to go back and work, but i didn't. i was in so much pain!
all i wanted was my mommy to make the pain go away! and she did and it did! she wins the prize for best mom in the whole gosh darned world. wanna know why?
she brought me midol. aahhhhh, itsn't she great?

i need to email my uncle rodney again.
for those of you who don't correspond with me,
i have a tedency to write an email to someone that i haven't talked to in a while, and when tthy respond, we will either write back and forth for a while like once a day, or occasionally, but then i will forget who send the last email, and get confused and forget to write another one.

yea, i wish i had a memory like an elephant. i rmemeber reading this book at some point in time, i think it was grade school. i am pretty sure it was either at my elementary or my moms elementaryt that i read this book. it was about these bears who needed to find their plane tickets and so they had this elephant come over and try to help them remember. they got to put on these fake elephant trunks.
- i don't totally remember why that book stands out in my memory, but it does.

so this is long.
and i hot, tired and sweaty, and i think i need a second shower today.
or maybe i will just cover myself in deoterant. i have been contemplating that all day.
