It's a Hard-knock Life

For us. Yea. Last musical outburst for this entry, I swear.

Life seems to be more and more complicated, and more and more difficult. I don't know what to do sometimes, except, like I sometimes exclaim, go cry in a corner.

Work seemed to be awful at first. I don't mind working, because this wasn't my first job (well it was my first legal job, but yea). The manager seemed like a total ass, who would run through things very fast, and only once. He'd get mad if I asked a question, and if I didn't but made a mistake, more mad. So the double jeopardy thing was pissing me off. But now that I know just about everything that I need to, life is good. The drivers are really nice and helpful, so it's good when they're not all out making deliveries.

Home life seems okay. Mom and dad are, still, hard working people, earning a living and paying for our very comfortable life style, and no I'm not complaining.

Going to Jersey on Saturday for a kick-ass family reunion. Can't wait. Tomorrow I have to make a Cheesecake (YAY!) to bring for dessert, which will be awesome. Of course there won't be nearly enough, and I'll probably have to slice it into like sixteenth's, which will stink even more. Oh well, I'll just eat more pieces. Yup.

Sunday doesn't seem too bad. Maybe hanging with friends (I HOPE!) and then a couple parties this coming week, which I cannot wait for. I still have to decide upon a gift for one, and then an outfit for the other. Hmm.

Yes, life is hard. And it sucks. But those few moments where you enjoy yourself, make life all worth it.

First Day on the Road

Well, I've had my Learners Permit for a while now, but I've only actually gone driving twice. I went in a parking lot the day I got it, and then yesterday. Whenever my parents feel like taking me out driving, I'm working. When I'm not working, they don't want to...

Oh well. So the first time was in an empty parking lot behind Showcase Cinemas in East Hartford. Woa. A light tap on the gas and that thing moves! A slight tap on the brakes and you're through the windshield! It probably doesn't help that we have a six cylinder with a mini turbo system in a little four door car. My mom wanted that thing to move! LOL, and so it does. Of course, when you're in the drivers seat 20 MPH seems like 60 when your parents are driving.

But yesterday, was my first time on the streets of EH. It was a blast! My dad had to go pick up Mike from work, so he let me drive! I was shocked. I thought we were going to another empty parking lot but he had me pull it out of the driveway and everything! Ah! I was scared, and quite nervous to be honest. But once I started to go, it was a blast. I was a little worried about stopping in time at a stop sign, or stopping behind a car at a stop light without hitting them, but hey, I'm writing in here, aren't I?

It was smooth sailing from my house to the McDonald's of Glastonbury. I even pulled into a parking spot! Granted, there were no cars for like 5 spaces, but you get the point. My dad said I did a really good job of staying in the center of my lane, without swerving at all. Of course, there was some road work along route 5 (I can't go on the highways yet) so I had to dodge manholes and cones, but it was fun.

So, maybe y'all shouldn't stay off the roads after all...

[short] Vacation

As most people know, I was on vacation this past week, and boy was it awesome. Too short, as well.

We started with an eleven hour car ride down to Virginia. We stayed with my aunt a couple of nights, and went to the lake house on Sunday, and on Monday. Some relatives set off fireworks on a barge, and those were awesome.

The neighbors were lighting off fireworks too, but they weren't too smart. They were lighting ones and placing them on their dock, but the fireworks were meant to be placed in a tube, and launched into the air. Every time they set one off they would run as fast as they could back to shore. It was quite funny and entertaining.

Tuesday I went to see Bewitched with the family, and boy was that the worst movie ever. I almost fell asleep. Staring out the window on a rainy day is more entertaining.

Wednesday, Go Karts! That was so much fun, except that my little brother purposefully pushed me into the wall because he didn't want to be passed. Loser. Sore loser.

Thursday we drove to Jersey, and visited my dad's family there. That was fun too. Taught my aunt how to play Cranium and she loved it! We started out last, we were two brains behind, and on the slow track, but we ended in second, because we rock.

Came home Saturday, missing the Jersey shore. Oh well, we'll be back down there in two weeks for a family gather, which will be totally awesome.

Now, I have a busy ass week. Lots of work, which I hate going to, and missing some time to hang out with my friends.
