On a happier note...hubby made Easter brunch and it was SO yummy!! He made a whole spread with eggs and homemade fried potatos w/peppers and onions, toast, and platters of cheeses,crackers, tomatoes,onions,cold cuts...the whole works.
He's so sweet. He made it all himself while I laid out in the sun playing on the computer and reading a trashy tabloid.

Thanks Cameron!
SHE'S OK! The canine garbage disposal is ok. She just woke up from surgery and the blockage and (of all the crazy things she eats) it was a squeaker from a squeaky toy. God, I am grateful she's alive. This dog is my BABY, I love her so much. I'm still crying, but now they are tears of relief. Ok, now the earth can continue spinning and the world can go on. My baby is OK.

Katrine? I might actually take you up on your offers and call you tonight. I hope that is okay.
There is one person specifically I have just begun corresponding with whom I desperately need to answer--to my bright, youthful friend--I am not ignoring you!!! I'm just trying to gather everything I need to say so that I may answer your questions properly!
Sunday, I'm calling you as well. Might as well make the most of my free weekend minutes.
And Ody, my darling, I will get back to you promptly as well. Although I will say--you should have yahoo or AIM messenger. Life would be easier that way. In fact, everyone should.
If you love me, and you have AIM or yahoo, send me your names!! Stat!

Thank G-D I wrote down all my work messages yesterday. But my messages from people who's numbers I didn't put in my Contacts yet... my saved messages from Dry... my saved work posts so I know what pubs I worked this month... my sent messages... gone.
can you resurrect a few phone numbers from your phone bill?
I know what you're going through. My phone died today. I've held onto it for so long, but no matter with a charged battery-- it dies five minutes later, and calls aren't getting through.
sooo....now I have to get a phone and I'm trying to decide on the super fancy blackberry, or if I should just try to resurrect my old razor phone which I hated and sucked anyways.
I hate tax season....otherwise I wouldn't be worrying about whether I should buy the good phone or make due with the halfway-broke-but-not-all-the-way-broke phone.

I am so upset right now. I'm wavering between tears and anger. My dog stopped eating on Tuesday morning because something got stuck in her intestine and it caused her too much pain. On thursday afternoon I asked my friend to take her to the vet because something was DEFINITELY wrong. (We share the dog.)
I KNEW I should have gone but I guess I didn't count on the vet being an idiot. For some reason neither one of them thought X rays or any sort of treatment was necessary. By Saturday she still wasn't eating and starting to get dehydrated. I marched her back in there (I know, now I'M the idiot) and insisted she get x-rays. Low and behold, she has a severe intestinal blockage. So they gave her a super-expensive laxative treatment that didn't work and now she is in surgery to have the blockage removed. They were so mean to her when she got spayed I don't even no why I let her go back there. They said "she whined too much." WELL, I'M SORRY, SHE'S A 3 MONTH OLD PUPPY WHO IS IN A LOT OF PAIN IN A STRANGE PLACE AND SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHY. I even suspect they're overcharging us because they know they can.
I should have been the one to take her to the vet and I shouldn't have taken her back there. And I should have taken her in earlier. If she dies its my own fault. But I still hate the vet.
that's sooo rough. I'm so sorry! my dog was a butthead this morning and went for a jaunt sans owner. even though he's still on my shit list, I can't/won't imagine something like that happening to him.

Thank you and thank you! I'm going to see her in a little bit. Can't take her home but I forgive the vet because she survived! Also because he's letting us come visit her even though they are closed on sundays. She can't go home for a couple days but the little turd muncher is alive and that's all that matters. I haven't seen the final bill yet. Eep! But I love her and she makes me happy. You can't put a price on that. :P

I have decided I have the best psychologist on the planet. Not only did he call me back on effing Easter, he sat on the phone with me for 30 minutes working through what was making me freak out, and moved his schedule around to get me in sooner. And told me to go have ice cream.
Holy fuck, there's a medical professional who doesn't suck.

That gives me hope. I should probably consider some type of talk therapy instead of just medication but I have found that most of the people practicing it suck ass. I would hate to have to wade through the crap ones to find a good one. But I'm glad to here that they're out there and you have one.
Anyone who prescribes ice cream is all right by me. :)

I had 18 other therapists over almost 7 years before I got lucky with a good one. I didn't even want to go when I started seeing him, but I didn't have a choice at the time. 3 years later I'm more stable than I have been my entire adult life, mostly because of him.

My supposedly wonderful mother, whom I thought was my best friend has been absolutely terrible to me this weekend. She snaps at me, makes underhanded comments about what a horrible holiday it is because of "obvious circumstances," does everything in her power to avoid being in the same room as me, etc. She's made me cry more times than I can count. So I've spent the weekend drugged up so I could simply sleep and not be a bother to anyone and she's angry about that as well. It's not like I've been storming around being hateful and yelling and screaming. I've been SAD. That's it. Just quiet and SAD.
It's official. I no longer have anyone. I'm moving back into my own apartment tomorrow. Nevermind that I have no food and will be isolated from every one and everything. At least I won't have to feel like a burden to every person in my life. Of course, I don't know what I'll do when I need to be out of it at the end of the month.
I hear park benches are nice. I feel like it would be a better atmosphere than the one I'm staying in now.

You arent disappointing anyone but yourself. Dont be so hard on yourself. not drinking for what..a YEAR is hard. So you slipped up once..big deal.
Ask your Dr if you can have a higher dosage or if you can have Niravam,which is what I have. Its like xanax.but you dont swallow the pill. You let it dissolve under your tongue. So instead of taking 20 minutes or so to calm you down,it takes 2-3 minutes. That might work better for you.
im in a very self destructive mood today. very depressed and very anxious and very.. UGH. :( i'll have to talk to him about that, though. actually, i really need to find a psychiatrist. thank you, though, for saying that. part of the reason i think i'm so messed up lately is because i have a lot of guilt. i feel like i mess up so much and disappoint my parents.
Cameron is giving you some good advice, Britt.
We love you so much. And things are going to be okay.
:hug::hug::hug::hug:
i love love love you. come live with me. park benches arent too cuddly!
Britt, if you get a violation it is for sure a violation of your probation , is this your first time to get a viol? Your PO will definately see the report, but if you admit to drinking you will violate your probation. Dont admit it no matter what!! Even if they have the report, you are better off making up something b/c once you admit it they will give you your original sentence. I just got my breathalyzer taken off a lil while back and luckily never had a viol but i am still not allowed to drink for a few months. Whatever happens, don't get down on yourself sweety.
that isnt true, actually. it varies from state to state. my PO will not see the report. the info goes to the mva, and the mva hearings are totally different from the court orders. at most, i'll have to go to another hearing and maybe get my time extended for having it on my car. i was freaking out this morning. i talked to a few people, though, and worst case scenario, i say (like you said) it wasnt me. anyone can drive my car and blow into it. thats allowed. as long as there isnt alcohol detected WHILE driving, it wont be as big a deal.
yeah, like i said. very self destructive mood today. very depressed. i want to cry a lot. boo.

oh, and also.. the people i work for are amazing. i texted both my manager, who i consider to be a friend, and he's my best friend's boyfriend, and the owner of my club apologizing for flipping out.
the owner sent me one back saying "thank you! we all love you. cant wait for all the fun we're going to have this summer. pool parties!" (haha because apparently in the summer they have parties to roll at his house) and my manager sent me one saying he isnt upset with me, that everyone flips out sometimes, and that was my turn.. but not to let it happen again for a year ;)
they didnt realize the severity of the situation with my ex. my friend told her bf and now they all know, and the owner yelled at him last night and said now that he knows it will be taken care of.
it's really, really nice to work at a strip club with owners/managers who actually give a shit about you.

i know, i know.. its just hard because my parents do so much for me. you know? my dad busts his ass to pay for my school, they paid part of my rent the whole time i was in school, helped me on bills when i needed it, when my breathalyzer wouldnt work and he came over to help me and he could do it but i couldnt, i yelled at him because i was so frustrated, and he went out and bought me groceries because i didnt have any. my mom bought me a new coach purse for an easter present.
my parents do EVERYTHING for me. and how do i thank them? i make them worry about me every night because i used to come home to their house drunk after working day shift, and i call them at 6am telling them i need them to pick up my car because i finally got pulled over.
now im crying. i feel so, so guilty lately. i feel like everything ive done wrong lets them down. i wish they didnt know i danced. the dui, the drugs, the drinking.. i do so many things that they would be disappointed in and scared and worried over.

no you havent. i hope you dont take this the wrong way. but put yourself in your mom's shoes. when i tried to kill myself, my parents were PISSED. wouldnt you be? sure, she's not going about things the right way, but just imagine for a second how she must be feeling. she probably doesnt know HOW to handle her feelings. and chances are, she's feeling shitty about being shitty to you, but she doesnt know how else to react right now.
and also, if your mom is your best friend, one weekend of shitty behavior doesnt change that. you know? parents are people too, and sometimes theyre really doing the best they can. and sometimes they arent. but we have to forgive them for that because look at all the things in our lives theyve forgiven us for.
ha, its sure easy to GIVE that advice, but not so easy to take it. so feel free to tell me to shut the hell up if you want to. i just want you to be happy. :hug: you have my number, right? use it if you need it. misery loves company, haha!
