A hangover Sunday

Hmmm what to say, what to say...OH! I know. So today being Sunday, I was answering some surveys for cash and talking to my grandmother about applying to jobs and who was hiring (hoping my sister was listening because my grandmother has been trying to get her more permanent work that's year around too).  Just as I was about to sit down to continue what I had been doing, my cellphone starts to vibrate, it says it's a non TTY call, and the caller IDsays "walmart".  I go to my grandmother, who was on the phone with he friend at the time and ask her to interpret for me.  After 10 minutes of immediate confusion from the lady who called, from the look of it she wasn' expeting a Deaf person to "answer" the phone, anyway, she called to see f I was available tomorrow for an interview.
All should be good right? wrong! I have no recollection of ever applying to Walmart and my gramma has been worried that I'll tun out better than my sister, get a job, finish college and move out and she wont have a free babystter anymore.  See this happens everytime I have or get a job interview (or even a glimmer of hope of getting one).  She finds some convenient excuse to ruin my chances of having a flexible shift.  Last time it was when I worked the Census.  I aree we do live in a bad neighborhood but I'm not in a gang, and it's broad daylight outsde, I'm not oing to get mugged or shot (bullets are too expensive). Plus, I enjoy walking, but she found every excuse in the book to drive me house to house.  It didn't work out because it was against the assignment rules. But she's simple.
Hopefully this interview goes well and I am given good flexible hours so I can continue going to school, I only have 4 more credits left in th fall.  My goal earlier this year was to find a job ( a permanent part time or full time) save u enough money to get my license, a car (of my dreams), and my own apartment (and or loft) because, lets face it, I don't plan on living here in the ghetto for very much longer.

Summer reading

Wow  haven't updated this blog in ages...So lets see, summer is almost over and I've only read 15 out of the 85 books I challenged mysel to read.  I just finished Percy Jackson, the olympians and the lightning thief. OK yes I did see the movie first and I hadn't ever heard of the series, so I found the first book in the library and I just finished reading it in the very early hours tis morning.  Both the book and the movie are totally awesome, it's about a boy, who is always getting into trouble at school no matter wat he doesn,then one field trip and his entire crappy life is turned upside down, his mom is taken from him by Hades, he fined out he's half God OH! and did I mention, he's poseidons' son.  Now Mount Olympus have themeselves in a knot because someone has stolen Zeus' master bolt and Hade Helm of darkness,and worse the gods have blamed Percy, if the bolt and the helm aren't returned by the summer solstice; there will be a world war III.  So Percy and his two friends travel from Long Island, New York to Los Angeles,California (where the enterance to the Underworld is) to get his mother bac only to find out that Hades didn't steal anything from the other Gods and that Percy has the bolt (which he unknowingly did in the backpack that Ares had given to him via Luck, a half blood son of Hermes).  Somewhere towards the end Percy battles Ares and wins back the helm of darkness which he returns to its rightful owner and then returns te bolt to Zeus, he meets Poseidon for the first time in his life and they all live happily ever after and Percy decides to go home o te summer to be with his mom. 

I absolutely love the first book and can't waitto ead the other books  ( I think 5 in all) in the series.  Justlike he Artemis Fowl series ,which btw has another book coming out soon in the series (The Atlantis Complex) I have to read the entire series to feel complete. I aim to buy both series for my collction, they are both very well written.  Anywhooo..... I must get going, I have othe things to do tonight such as take care of my niece whom I dont think will be getting to sleep any earlier tonight looks like she'll be asleep at about 12:30am again [you can thank her parents for that, though they swear they have nothing to do with her being up all night] I blame the fact they didnt want her to take a nap earlier when she should have, no worries Ill use her as an alarm clock tomorrow and Ill just have to do things my own way for her to get a good nights sleep (which she hasn't gotten because of either of them) one more bottle for her and she should be good and asleep tonight......



adorable me,
Rosie
