As backstory, I am going out to dinner Friday night with Barbara, Arnett and Linda. Afterward, we are all meeting at this apparently Dive/Sports Bar called The Blarney Stone, in order to see my bro-in-law, Lou�s band play. Oh and also, my company had the In-N-Out catering truck at work today as a little treat for us. Yum. -----Original Message----- From: Amy Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 2:23 PM To: Sondra, Karen Cc: Barbara Subject: RE: Hey guys! what�s up with all this fast food?? yesterday i had mcdonald�s! Anyway, just so you know, I just spoke with Marina and she and I are planning to go on Friday. We will probably meet you all there. Like 8:30 or 9? Her grandpa�s turning 88 or something the next day so she won�t be able to stay real late but we�ll definitely be there. =) Anyway, take it easy everyone and see you soon! -Amy From: �Karen� To: �Amy Subject: RE: Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2003 14:27:55 -0700 Hey cool!!! I�m looking forward to seeing Marina! :) Well, I�m of course looking forward to seeing you, too. Hey, do you know if everyone is still planning on going to Vegas? I am fretting about money, but still planning on it. I asked a gal here, Natalia, to go (I think I may have told you already). She is out of the office until tomorrow, but hopefully she�ll let me know this week sometime. I�m not really planning on her going, but she�s really cool and fun and nice so I�m hoping she�ll go (plus, it would be nice to share the expenses). Talk to ya later! -K -----Original Message----- From: Amy Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 3:23 PM To: Karen Subject: RE: cool. if she goes it may just be the three of us! no ok, here�s the deal, Carla and john would not be able to go anywhere until august due to john�s leave or something, yada, yada. It seems none of cj�s friends are really into going at this point either, so he said he may just come with us. that�s per carla though, so i really need to talk to him. she also just told me that he may have some time off in august too. I think he already knows which weekend so i�ll find out. Carla and john could go anytime in August because john has the whole month off. basically, i�m wanting to go anyway, but i feel bad about cj�s b-day and all. and if we don�t end up going it won�t kill me - and my pocket book may just thank me anyway. so, i don�t know what to do. =[~ From: �Karen� To: �Amy Subject: RE: Date: Tue, July 08, 2003 3:23 PM Well, lets talk about it this weekend...you know, one time Barbara, Cathy and I went and stayed up all night Friday, then we stayed at this little hole in the wall on Saturday night! It was tiring, but very cheap. :) Of course, I was also younger then. I don�t mind waiting until August cuz like I said I�ve been spending way too much money lately as it is. But, like you, I have been seriously itching to go. Plus, the gal who does my hair is going to be there the same weekend and I was going to meet up with her Sat. night. I dunno. We�ll figure it all out. :) I�m easy, so long as I know by the Wednesday before we go so I can cancel our reservation, if need be. And yeah - my company had the In-N-Out catering truck here for everybody today. Yummy. :) I have been eating like there�s no tomorrow lately, though - ever since July 4. I even ate hot dogs twice over the weekend! EEEK! Actually, I was sick to my stomach Sunday night. I think I had far too much junk over the weekend and my tummy just rebelled. I was supposed to be good all weekend, in preparation for today�s Double-Double. Oops. The cool thing is that usually I eat really well and I think I must have lost a few lbs. cuz I have been fitting in to clothes I didn�t think I should fit in to. :) That�s another thing - I desperately need new clothes! This is especially evident now that it�s summer because I have no cool clothes to wear. My only savior is that my office is constantly freezing cold, even in the midst of summer, so it doesn�t matter if I wear not-so-cool clothes to work. However, when I want to go out it�s an entirely different story. Hey, how was your 4th? Did you do anything fun? I�ve already decided that I am having everybody over to my place next year because it was mad-fun in my neighborhood! I have never seen so many freakin� fireworks (of course, we walked right past lots of signs saying they were illegal on our way to watch them). On top of the ones at the Queen Mary and the usual �Safe and Sane� variety, some people spent thousands of dollars down in Mexico or someplace. How nice of them. :) I was actually considering buying some of the �Safe and Sane� kind, but they ARE supposed to be illegal in Long Beach and I was afraid I�d get caught. Little did I know...however, I�m glad I didn�t spend the money. As it was, it was total sensory overload and I didn�t know which way to look! ~~~ I am livid. In fact, I plan on tracking him down tonight and laying into him. I�ve held my tongue long enough and you do not fuck with your parents that way! They were trying to be nice to him and help him out and this is the thanks they get? Believe me when I say that he does not want to hear from me. If nothing else, who wants your little sister bitching you out because you are so irresponsible? How humiliating. OK, I may wait until the end of the week, as Barbara has requested I do so. But I�m afraid if I wait I�ll cool off and frankly, I don�t want to. He deserves to feel the full brunt of my ire. Oh, I also found out that my dad is on Anti-Depressants. I�m so sad for him. Well, I�m glad he�s actually on them and truthfully I�m stunned that he actually admitted to his doctor that he�s depressed. My dad is a real He-Man. The fact that he is admitting any sort of ailment and actually seeking help is a minor miracle. Anyway, this has a lot to do with why I�m so pissed off at Mark. My parents are too old to deal with his bullshit. Ergh... |
