Bwahhh. Another work week.
Last Friday I was an HOUR late to work. Yep. I'm sleeping, doo doo doo, and then my phone starts ringing, when I looked at it I was mega confused that the time said 12:37am. "Whadda fuuuuuck why does it say 12:37? It's supposed to be 11:20." So I answer, doing my best voice of I-was-not-just-asleep. It was Eddie. All he said was, "Leah?!" and I told him I'd be there in 15. Sucks that they waited so long to call me, but at least I live only 4 miles away. Then I spent over an hour poring through the MARs, writing and then typing up all the errors and put it in the nurse's box. She decided to come up with a new system of checks and accountability for signing and correctly filling out the MARs, so I decided to catch everyone up. I filled in all the missing holes and documented everything and typed up who was supposed to sign for them so she can get them to sign below me. Today I found a note in my box thanking me for doing it (and saying she tried to document the holes but mine was way better and more organized) and asking me to keep tabs on the MAR a couple times a week. Which actually means I'm going to be doing it every night in order to keep up with everything. That and legally a hole should only go unsigned for 24 hours. And stupid Henry accounted for ONE THIRD of the errors all by himself. There are at least 15 people who can sign the MAR, and the idiot accounts for the biggest chunk of non-signatures. I hope he gets fired soon. He bugs the crap out of me.
Sometimes when we are playing DDR, Grim likes to burrow. In the rug. And just lay there. Nero decided to be a cute fatty and lay by him too.
This is actually quite a good picture of Grim. He's such a dork! But sooo cute! Look at him just relaxing there, so comfy under his rug. SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG XD
I'm feeling MUCH better today. Steve and I wasted most of the weekend sleeping, but we were also productive in some ways too. We got our grocery shopping done for the week and I made a ton of bento stuff and will make more tomorrow. We finally saw Inception, too. It was very, very good. Who doesn't love Leonardo DiCaprio + Ellen Page?! Omg. And the storyline was the right amount of complex too. I'm glad we got to catch it while it was still in theaters.
I also got up to a total of 59 'S' ranks in Ouendan 2, which means I have only 17 more A's to turn into 'S''s! I'm not a hundo on if I can actually achieve that, but of the 4 difficulties, I have the lowest difficulty completed, and the hardest difficulty with ONE LEFT. The other two I just need to suck it up on. It's kinda like when you play Guitar Hero or Rock band and know how to play it on Expert but are playing on an easier difficulty and the notes don't match up as well. It can be quite frustrating. Sidenote: I have completed the game, a long time ago, I just want to perfect it as much as possible because I'm really good at it and find it so fun. Playing a game like this to death does not get old. Its predecessor, Elite Beat Agents, is American and quite cheesy and the controls are a bit wonky (the scoring system is atrocious at times which is odd because it was released AFTER Ouendan 1), but it's a GREAT game and sells at GameStop for between $3 and $7. I still need the original Ouendan, but it's about $50 + shipping from Japan, so I'm holding off for a bit.
Also, my family pics came back. If you're curious as to what my mom's side looks like - that is, me (22), my mom (42), my stepdad (40), my sister (18), and my (half)brother (12), as well as my sister's baby (7mos.), check em out!
The whole family! Bethany, August, Paul, me, Brenda. We are far more uncomfortable than we look - we were positioned on very sharp rocks!
Silly pose!
Me; we each did a lone pose. This log is deceiving as it is actually hanging over the Minnesota River!
Bethany and her baby Cayden. He chewed on that stick for all her lone pictures! XD
Candid sisters! I was trying to show August how to pose against the tree I think.
She caught me trying to do the jungle gym equipment; alas, I have no arm strength!
I was supposed to get my hair done the day before the pictures were taken, but my hair lady cancelled because her baby had a doctor appointment, and then THIS week all the roads to her town were closed (flooding and construction) and aren't apparently scheduled to reopen until the end of the month! My hair is a catastrophe. HATE IT. I went to see how much it would cost to get done where Steve and his mom get theirs done, and it would be $28 for the cut and $40-50 for the dye. WTF NO WAY. Jenny does AMAZING and the cut AND color costs me $40, INCLUDING tip. jfc.

Date: 2010-10-07 04:26 pm (UTC)It drives me NUTS when other people take pictures of me but aren't really LOOKING at what I'm doing. Training Brian to take good pictures by TELLING me when I need to move or shift or turn or tilt is harder than getting the kittens to sit on command. ~_~
I'd rather be a B-cup when all is said and done, rather than the DD I am. Mostly because current fashion is weighted entirely for smaller breasts. I know there's this myth that Americans = <3 Big Boobs, but you'll notice that vast majority of our celebrities have teeny tiny chests, and none of our super models have large breasts. Designing clothing has become more and more about making the *models* look good, not the average person wearing them, so most of the cuts are only flattering on smaller chests/smaller frames/tall people. Plus, it'd be nice to not always have to worry about mah bubbies. =/
Haha, Jeff and I aren't one of siblings that look alike (some of us really, really do, like Tara, Laylah, and I all look like we're real siblings with our dark hair, dark eyes, short stature, small faces, and larger breasts), but most people could tell that we were brother-and-sister. I think it's more in the way we'd talk to each other. Also, subtle things like body language that suggests great fondness, but absolutely no passion.
Poor old church people. XD

Date: 2010-10-08 07:12 am (UTC)I COMPLETELY agree with what you're saying. I'd like to be a small C probably, but the current fashion is SO aimed at smaller chests. And most guys I know prefer small chests. Pat will always be talking about that and then follow up with, "Oh but I'm sure Steve likes yours, that's totally cool but not really my style." ~_~ And he's right, Steve "got used to" my big boobs in comparison to his other love interests and now quite likes them. It helps that I've lost 10+ pounds since we've been together, bringing me from DD to D! And if I didn't have a larger chest, I'd look even more like Grimace (small up top and big on bottom) XD jk jk I'd just be more pear shaped vs an hourglass type. I swear the only reason the idea that America loves big breasts is from porn and shows like Dr90210.

Date: 2010-10-09 12:08 am (UTC)Yeah, it was a point of odd contention between my parents (a little squicky to think about too hard, so don't), because my mom has D or so, and Scott's always prefered the smaller end. *shrug* I can't blame the guys who do, since there are certain benefits with smaller breasts, but in my case it was the opposite, as Brian has one of those larger-breast semi-fetishes. He's dated girls with smaller chests because he liked them personally, but as he said he had to "get used to it." =/ I wish I could lose weight and lose some chest! I don't gain/lose my weight in my chest much at all--it's in my waist and hips.
AND OH MY GOD ME TOO! If I didn't have my overly large for my size breasts, I'd be a pear! It's only my chest that gives me an hourglass. My hips are around a 38-39, and my chest is 35-36. I always found that rather funny. Maybe it helps with balance? XD
I dunno. I don't think America really does love big breasts. I think it's just a myth that hasn't died yet because people don't examine it. Like, okay, so we like big breats but nothing that we value highly has big breasts? Uhhh....yeah, that totally makes sense. IN SOME OTHER DIMENSION. =/ You know, the one that actually makes multiple large cup sizes available to the general public. Where I would like to live. T.T
