I've tried that, alot actually, and they can't explain themselves. I'm extrordiarily convinced that they are far more confusing than women will ever be.

Not much, just BSing at work.

Seriously, if you figure out guys... Let me know... I'm so lost... Why don't I date girls?

My sister...

Sooooo TIRED...

Praying the 2 hours of sleep I got will get me through this shift.

If my sister finds out she's not as deathly ill as she thinks.... I'm gonna kill her... So tired...

Now, I'm at a very shaky maybe.... Dang sister says she's dying and we don't even know what the test results are. I has no sleep.

I have to say... I did utilize stuff on the applications, but I liked a combination of both the best. I liked to know about how much the person was expected to make, so I don't waste my time or anyone elses. We also had to look into references, so I needed as much info to contact previous employers that I could get. Unexperienced front desk at hotels starts at about $8 an hour for a lower level chain. The big 3-5 star hotels only want experience, but they pay wayyyyyy better.

I is going to City... Is you?

So true. I wish I could escape, but I doubt my mind would come back.

I'm dedicatedly working on dragging Jen out. Must resist killing soon to be ex hubby. (that wasn't meant as a threat, just that he's evils)

That I need to clear out my bank account. I don't like lawsuits.... I am not amused and neither are my panic attacks.

I would like another nap please... It's warm in here.

Wishing time moved faster while I am at work.

I'm plotting my happy morning in Eastern Market. I'll be happy to wake up early for that!

I feel that way alot. And, it took me a rediculous amount of time to find my happy... Here's to yours being easier to find.

My answer to is asdf jkl; Are you ready for an adventure?

I'm not sure. At this point it's irrelevant, because its just me and B.O.B. What would you like to drive?

By BETSY TAYLOR, Associated Press Writer Betsy Taylor, Associated Press Writer – Tue Aug 4, 4:50 pm ET ST. LOUIS – It's no secret that raising children can be expensive, but how about nearly a quarter of a million dollars expensive? A government report released Tuesday says a middle-income family with a child born last year will spend about $221,000 raising that child through age 17. The report by the USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion identified housing as the largest single expense, followed by food and child care/education costs. The $221,000 in expenses rises to about $292,000 when adjusted for inflation. USDA economist Mark Lino, who co-authored the report with Andrea Carlson, often hears people say children cost a lot when the annual findings are issued. "I tell them children also have many benefits, so you have to keep that in mind," he said. Families with more income spend more money on child-related costs, the report said. A two-parent family that earns less than $57,000 annually will spend about $160,000 on a child from birth through high school. Those with an income between $57,000 and $99,000 spend about $221,000 and those with higher incomes are expected to spend roughly $367,000 through age 17. Most single-parent households in the U.S. make less than $57,000 and are expected to spend about 7 percent less on child-rearing costs compared to two-parent households in that same income group, according to the report. Costs of raising a child are highest in the urban northeast and lowest in the urban south and rural areas. The USDA report helps courts and states determine child-support guidelines and foster care payments. It does not address costs specifically related to childbearing and paying for college. One of the largest changes over time has been the increase in costs related to care for young children. The report was first issued in 1960, when such costs were largely negligible, but with more working families turning to outside help with child care, it has grown to be a significant expense for many families. The report does not give total costs related to early child care. A mother of three, Raben Andrews of St. Louis, said the government figures sounded right to her. "Well, that's not half of it," joked the 42-year-old public school teacher. "I still have to put the little buggers through college." ____ Expenditures on Children by Families report: http://www.cnpp.usda.gov

Go home and tidy my living room.

Ruroni Kenshin What would you do if you knew tomorrow was your last day?

Sorry, I thought it was a more common phrase. It is at least in my circle. A "tourist" is someone who gives the impression that they blatently don't fit. It's like people that look like they're more prepared for a hip-hop show than to walk into the local goth bar. A major component to the "tourists" being ignored is that many of them tend to hit on the goth chicks in what I would consider to be a disrespectful manner. (Hence my tendancy to bitch slap them.)

I had a pet chicken and it used to sit on my lap while I did homework.
