Crystal's Trials and Tribulations

Mood: tired

Ok- so here are some of the things that were running through my head after an argument that Jason and I had Saturday night...

Well, Thanksgiving was eventful, yet, uneventful all at the same time.  My new inlaws came to visit...Wednesday evening was good, even though I ended up staying at work till 4:30 (an hour and a half longer than expected), and when Jason's sister and brother in law got to our house, we all went to the new Applebees and had dinner (which of course was like an hour and a half ordeal cuz it's new and it was thanksgiving eve.  It was good though!

thursday wasn't quite as good...Jason pissed me off by not 'helping out' first thing in the morning, so that set me in a bitter mood all morning.  Then lunch was yummy (we all went to my mom and dad's house) and then after lunch we watched War of the Worlds...love that movie- but it was so much scarier on the big theater screen.  Or maybe it was just that I had seen it once already.  Then we all went back to my house, and Jana took a nap, and Jason and Cris started playing stupid star wars video games...pissed me off- so I went and hung out with my friend Gayla for a bit until they called to tell me they were done.  ha!  Then we all went to the park and walked around and looked at the christmas lights.  Freakin long ass walk down to the park...and it was cold- so that put me in an even worse mood.

Then we all went back to my mom's house and had hot cocoa. 

I had to work yesterday so I missed the trip to see the grandparents that live in nearby towns...oh darn.  But Jason said that Cris and Jana have made me out to look like the 'perfect wife' so now I have a lot to live up to.  hahaha!  Piece of cake- kids and grandparents LOVE me! :)

Speaking of kids-- we met Jason's ex and two kids in Tulsa last weekend-- wow, she was 'special'-  i don't even know how he ended up with her....I think he pittied her.  Anyways- the kids were cute...I'm gonna try to work a deal out where we can visit them more often, and even see if they can come for christmas. 

I went home for a break this morning, Jason seemed way down in the dumps for some reason..I tried asking him what was wrong, but he kept insisting everything was fine.  I think maybe he was bored and didn't know what to do by himself today on his day off. 

Well, people on the lot- gotta go....

Mood: getting sleepy now

Oh my Gosh, you guys are gonna love this!!!  I have such a big mouth!  But, I know what I'm talking about!!  This is the story about my trip to the pawn shop the other day with Jason...we went there to talk to his ex landlord (owner of the shop) about getting his deposit back that he promised to Jason by last Wednesday.... (I copied the conversation I had earlier today with my good friend Shelly...most of you know her- She's such an encouragement...good one, I think! LOL!!  Love you girl!)

irridescentshadows: his ex landlord told jason he'd get his deposit back by last wednesday... $200
Shelly: mm hmm ...
irridescentshadows: well, when jason went on friday- the guy had no real answers for jason
Shelly:
irridescentshadows: so he went in monday- and the landlord showed him a piece of paper that said jason had to give 30 days notice...
irridescentshadows: well, WE went BACK in yesterday to see the original copy of what jason signed...
irridescentshadows: heheheee....
Shelly: Uh huh...
irridescentshadows: and the wording says this...
Shelly:
Shelly: I love it.
irridescentshadows: If there is no written thirty day notice given to terminate, tendency CAN be renewed for another term or for a month to month term.
irridescentshadows: Failure to fulfill the entire term of this lease and/or failure to give a written thirty day notice shall be cause to forfeit any deposit or rent refunds.
irridescentshadows: SOOOO.... I said.... "eh hem...it's John right?"
Shelly: mm hmm ...
irridescentshadows: to the landlord guy...
irridescentshadows: Um..how many properties do u own?
irridescentshadows: He said, "8"
Shelly:  keep goin..
irridescentshadows: I said ok... well, according to this paper- you should give Jason his deposit back...not to mentioned you already told him that you would."
irridescentshadows: He said, "no, it says he needs to give a 30 day notice...." 
Shelly: good for you
irridescentshadows: I interupteded...."it says at the end of his lease he CAN extend it...
irridescentshadows: so what you mean is that this should say, WILL extend if no thirty day notice...
irridescentshadows: he stopped...looked up and said, "so sue me"
irridescentshadows: ROFL
Shelly: So are you goin to?!
Shelly: YEAH SISTA!
irridescentshadows: So I said, well that's why I asked how many properties you owned....do I need to contact the better business bureau, or my attorny
irridescentshadows: LOL
irridescentshadows: he goes..."well you need to get the hell out of here"
irridescentshadows: lol
Shelly: HAHAAHAAHAAHAH!!!!
Shelly: Good for you!!
Shelly: What did Jason say?
irridescentshadows: I said, "oh we will- and niether, myself, Jason, or anyone else i come in contact with will do business here, i guarantee you that!"
irridescentshadows: lol
irridescentshadows: jason was sorta quiet in the car, i think he was shocked
Shelly: lol
irridescentshadows: it was hilarious
irridescentshadows: jason told his mom i got kicked out of the pawn shop lol
irridescentshadows: i was like- OMG, i did huh?!
Shelly: Good  for you!
irridescentshadows: thanks...it was fun
irridescentshadows: i sounded important
irridescentshadows: lol
Shelly: *clapping* 
irridescentshadows: *taking a bow*
irridescentshadows: yeh- unfortunately, it would probably cost like $75 bucks to take it to small claims court-- plus all the time involved...
irridescentshadows: it's just the whole principle of the matter...
irridescentshadows: maybe it will scare him enough that he'll send it  ***blah blah blah....then this****  irridescentshadows: it also says right before all that... "this agreement and the tenancy hereby granted may be terminated at the end of the above mentioned term.
irridescentshadows: says nothing about with or without thirty day notice...only if he wants to leave before then- he has to give the thirty day notice...but if a lease is for 6 months- there ya go--- it's over in 6 unless otherwise agreed upon!
irridescentshadows: DUH!
Shelly: lol
irridescentshadows: people are so stupid-- and this is a guy who supposedly runs two businesse???
irridescentshadows: AND, I've tried to sell him a car before-- his store credit and his personal credit are shit- and i couldn't even sell him anything
Shelly: lol!
irridescentshadows: anyways-- that was the highlight of my week so far... i think jason likes that i'm so...verbose
irridescentshadows: lol
Shelly: LOL!
irridescentshadows: i got his social security card replaced...got a new order of chicken nuggets...and got kicked out of a pawn shop... so far- so good!
irridescentshadows: lol
Shelly: Well, Im proud!
Shelly: It feels good to be bitchy sometimes, dont it?

HAHAHAA!!!  Love it! :)

Mood: hungry

I can't wait for things to start getting busier at work.  Right now- it's so dead that I have time to log online and put an entry in here...huh...what a job!  So- I have one car deal out so far this month, and one going out monday...so that means that I am tracking for 4.2 units this month.  WOW!  That's terrible.  But hopefully things will pick up a little next week.  The weather is freaking crazy!  One day it's 32 degrees at night, the next day, it's 80 degrees!  Ridiculous.  I'm still able to drive the mustang with the top down on most days...actually I say "i" but I mean Jason.  lol-- he's pretty much taken possession of that.  It's ok though.  I'm going to pick up my cavalier tonight- maybe let my brother drive the Mark VIII for a week or so.  I miss my little car.  *sniffles*  So, Jason was going to go on a long bike ride today on his motorcycle, but instead, my parents drove by and mentioned that they were working on the yard- and he volunteered to go help!!  OMG!  that was such a good move.  ANyways-- gonna go eat, lunch is here.

Mood: tired

Well, to start the day off....Elane was off today, and Jamey was sick...so all the collection calls were coming to our office, and of course "I" had to answer them.  Everyone had something wrong!  Either this was broke, or that was broke...grrrr...it was driving me crazy!  I had to explain to a guy for 30 minutes, that if he is on bi-weekly payments, some months will have 3 paydays, and that if he switched to monthly payments, it would HELP him by spreading those extra payments out over the year...he didn't get it-- i was like OMG!!!  Then, Jason was sooo cranky, I would try to call him to talk, and see if he wanted to play a game on msn messenger or something- and he'd be like, NO!  ewww!!!  Cranky ass!  Then, i didn't really get a lunch break today, but cuz he was 'sick' I took him lunch, then to find out- he went to work today--- I was like, ummmm... hello?!?!!  You should have brought ME lunch!  *rolling my eyes*  Then had to stay late at work, doing the money, which I thought was off, but then remember the extra backup change... and it was just terrible!  And now- my baby isn't home for lunch on time. :(  *sigh* well- gotta finish dinner.

Well, I'm feeling a little better now...unfortunately, this stuff is so contagious, that i didn't stay home in time, and three of my coworkers got it, and so did poor Jason. :(  He's so cute when he's sick though!  I'm like...awww- my poor baby!  But honestly, he just likes the attention I think.

I'm having a good hair day today...don't know how I pulled that one off...especially since it's like 30 mph winds outside.  I'm looking foward to next weekend.  I have that weekend off, and I think me and Jason are going to go to Oklahoma City or something, maybe do a little shopping.  I wouldn't mind going to Dallas even!  I didn't have any money to spend on silly stuff last time we went.

well- gonna get back to work now- it's soooo slow!

Mood: a little better

Okay, I'm sure everyone will have better sentances- but here's my answers to the quiz shellz!

Joy

I have never felt more Joy than I did the day I married Jason!

One of my favorite quotes is from the movie "Hey Dude, Where's My Car" when the space chicks go, "we will give you great pleasure."  lol!

Mood: cranky

Well, I'm finally starting to feel a little better from this icky bug i've had the past couple days...now I'm just cranky, and tired of being inside the house.  I've kinda been taking it out on Jason..but some of the stuff he is bringing upon himself!  For example... We had planned to go to the movies and chill like all day today... but we watched one this morning (hehehe-- i forgot to wash him some boxers while I was washing his uniforms, so I had to wash and dry some real quick this morning) then he gets dressed, and says he's gonna go ride his bike!  Now- we've had the bike talk before... this time he says..."we need to get you a bike."  But when he's showing me all these bikes that he would get me, i'm like- they are soooo NOT trendy bikes, and I'm not riding one-- the only other chick in town that has a cruiser- works at the bike shop- and is an obvious dike!  I'M SO OUT!!  Now- if he wants to get me a crotch rocket, or something of the sorts- then we'll talk...but I don't understand why I can't just go with him on his bike!!!  So, I lashed out- and told him the following..."Well, I guess I'll just have to wait to go with you until I'm a fuckin cute skinny girl like miss Jan."  hehehe- yeh, that got him!  So I guided him to the door and told him to go ride his stupid bike and to bring back a wisk so I can make the banana pudding he wants.  I was like- I'll slave in the kitched while you go play with out me, how's that?!  hahah-- he didn't much care for that guilt trip either.  Personally, I thought that part was fun.  But it does hurt my feelings, cuz I know that's the reason he doesn't want to take me- he's worried we both won't fit....but he's too nice to say it- so I said it for him.

Anyways- other than that- things are ok... I got an email today that informed that 'cupcake' was in a car accident and broke both of his legs and was in a coma for a few days- then his mom took him back to Germany, cuz she's a doctor there and runs a hospital, and of course she would want to take care of him.  Poor guy...I feel bad for him.  I hope he gets better...I'm sure he will though- he's strong.  (mentally and physically)!

Mood: tired
Listening to: nothing

UGHHHH...I feel like shit today actually.  My head hurts...my throat is all scratchy, and my body aches like I got hit by a truck! :(  My mom has the same thing, she was out all day yesterday cuz she felt so bad, and she said i needed to go to the doctor cuz it's some sort of bug, and if I don't go get on some antibiodics, this shit will just hang on- so I think I'll call and get a shot tomorrow.  This is sooo bogus!

In more positive notes, things are going pretty good with Jason and I.  He has been feeling rather 'frisky' today- which I think is adorable! :)  He called me yesterday at work just to say, "I love you."  Isn't that sweet?!

We had a talk about his kid(s) last night though...I think he wants to try to take his writ to the tulsa courts to try to get them to back up his custody rights.  His ex wife sounds totally bogus!!!  He wants to go see the kids and for me to meet them, which he's pretty sure only the first one is his, in a couple weeks...I don't know if I'm ready for that yet- and I told him I don't want to be a mom right now, even though- I kinda am a step-mom now.  I dont' think he liked that answer, but I don't want that responsibility right now- maybe in a few years after we finish developing our relationship the rest of the way...but not right now.  I dunno- I'm sure I'll still have to go meet them, but I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my mouth shut around his ex, and I'll have to start throwing out some legal shit at her...I am a poli sci major after all!

wish me luck!

Mood: just peachy
