Well, it's Wednesday and we all know that Wednesday's are humpdays [as they're in the middle of the week, you sickos!]. So, let's do our ritual Hillbilly Humpday Challenge!

This week, we're going to be naming name brand items you use or eat on a monthly basis. These must be personal items that *YOU* use [like degree deodorant] or name brand items you eat [like sara lee ice cream]. If you get stuck, go to your kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom and look around. ;) Feel free to put in parenthesis what exactly you're talking about. The name brand has to start with the letter to the left. You can not do this: T - Tea [Lipton's] You'd have to place it under "L" like this: L - Lipton's Tea.

MAN! That was hard to do at 9:00am and you're starvin for breakfast! Mahahaha! So there it is! I wanna kinda do an entry. Last night I talked to Melanie about everything and she denied all of it and said, "If I did say any of that, its because I was having a bad day and I apologize." I just nodded and told her that Im not going to deal with this in a 'high school' type manner. I told her I don't talk about people behind their backs and if I have an issue with you, I'll come directly to you first. All I ask is that you do it in return. So, we talked. Things aren't ok. I did lose a friend, however, there should be no more drama. We'll see though. I have a feeling with her there's always drama, she's just one of those kindsa people. I told her that! I told her that she has caused more drama in my life in the past two weeks than I've had since the drama on here. Ya'll remember that, right? I told her that I just wanted to put the past behind us and move on, in whatever direction we may go. I also told her that I talked to Angie about it because I was upset. I told Melanie that for one reason: If she goes running to Angie saying I've been mean or whatever, Angie already knows whats going on. Im supposed to be having lunch with Angie on Friday, so I'll fill her in then.

Last night, because I was talking to Melanie, I didn't get home til like 10:30pm. Steve got worried and when I got home he wasn't here! I didn't take my cell phone with me, as I thought I would be home WAY earlier! It was my first night in the Healthcare Law class and I assumed we'd get out early. NOPE! So I was in class til 9:30, Amanda didn't get out of class til 10 and I talked to Melanie for like 15 minutes, dropped Amanda off, then headed home. He got kinda mad at me cause he was worried. We argued for like 5 minutes on the phone. We hung up. I called him back and he was at his moms! Why he didnt come on home, I have no idea. So anyway, I just fixed me something to eat and went to bed. He got here at like 11:30. We didnt fight. He just told me he was really worried because of everything thats been going on and he thought that I had gotten into a fight and was in jail! Maahahaha! Im done with fighting! No one believes me! Now, that doesnt mean I wont defend myself, I just wont go lookin for fights anymore.

All is well now, I think. We'll see. Each day tends to bring me something new. I flat out told Melanie last night that I want the drama to stop. I want all of the high school fighting to stop. It's just flat out annoying. She just listened to me. She didnt say a whole lot. When she started with, "I didnt say that." and then that went to, "Well, if I did I don't remember." and then from there it went to, "If I did say it, Im sorry." just makes me think that she did say it, but just didn't want to own up to it cause I called her bluff. So, I hope that in doing what I did last night, confronting her face to face about it, it will stop everything. She started to blame so and so and I immediately stopped her. I told her that I could careless what those people say or do because they're already out of my life. I only cared what *she* said and *she* done because I trusted her and *she* was my friend. Not them. Thats when she stopped being defensive and started being apologetic. I think she felt worry, anxiety, anger, shame, then guilt. I hope she did anyway. I wanted her to see that A) Im not putting up with it at all in the least, B) Im not afraid of her at all, and C) I honestly cared about our friendship, but am now losing what trust I did have in her.

Anyway - Im rambling! Good luck on the Hillbilly Humpday Challenge! I think Im going to eat me some breakfast of some sort. I've got class today from noon - 7:30pm. After that I'm dropping Amanda off at her place and then I'm going to stop at the store. I should be home around 9ish tonight. Tomorrow I don't have class until 6pm, so I'll be around. Friday I don't have class at all, but Im meeting Angie for lunch. I'll be online til about 11:30am then Im leavin for class. In between classes I go to the computer lab and check to see who updated, so if you do the challenge, I'll see it! =) I hope you guys have an amazing Hump Day! Mahahah!
