The Catch-Up

I must catch all of you up with pictures. I haven't had any time to upload them, so I'll do it all in one post.

Let me start by saying that it has been a very rough and stressful two weeks. I have been working non-stop 8 hour days since last Wednesday and I won't have a day off until Thursday of this coming week. I've had three days off since I started working, I haven't had time to breathe. On top of all this, my Grandpa is pushing my buttons day-by-day. It's scary how alike him and my Mom can be sometimes. I miss her a lot, just not any of the stupid crap she sometimes says.

The other day he was driving me to work and decided to repeatedly tear me down, saying that I'm not trying hard enough to save money for school and to "better myself" because I'm spending a week's pay on visiting New Mexico in November, so he wants me to start paying rent. I think all of it is complete bullshit, considering none of his children ever had to pay rent for as long as they were still living under his roof, including my Mom and I when I was younger. I was pretty irate and cried all night because I was so infuriated that he could be such a total jackass. He's the type of person who always has to be right, but I don't remember him being this mean when I was little. Take this for an example, just five minutes ago he was bitching about how the wash smells like mildew because my Grandma leaves it in the washer during the day when she is watching my younger cousins all day, so I told him to do his own wash if he doesn't like it, and all he said is "well, if i didn't work 12 hour days." I don't even know where to go with words on this. There are so many things I could scream to the top of my lungs about, but to him, my words would still never matter.

It was his idea in the first place for me to move out here and stay with them while I saved some money to move back New Mexico like I had told him ONE MILLION times, yet he insists am staying up here. I don't understand why no one listens when I talk. I swear to god everyone has gone mad, or is it just me? (spell check says I should capitalize god but I hate him, so I won't).

Pictures..
In honor of Twyla loving my post a few weeks ago about my favorite toothpaste, here's a picture of me brushing my teeth after an 8 hour day of working and watching the Emmy's. Way to go 30 Rock! I love Tina Fey and the whole cast of 30 Rock, such a great show.
Here's the Log Shop sticker I put on my car. Rollin on Oregon turf, but reppin the Cali surf! I was remembering working at Sanrio with all the girls when the crew was top notch during Christmas of 2006, I miss those Serramonte days. I also really miss the Bay Area, not Pacifica, but the Bay.
And then this is my room as a complete mess, I plan on cleaning it tomorrow, so I'll show after pictures in my next post! The only furniture of mine in my room is that chair I bought at Urban Outfitters a few years ago, some of you may remember I rode it home on BART.
