I got a job at Macy's. Nothing special. Just a part time sales position. Something to help us rake in a little extra cash for a while. They told me I was "grossly overqualified" for the position. I told them that was fine. I'm a full time student and a mother of a 13 month old child. I'm not ready for a 9-5 management position. I'm really not.
I took one of my finals today. I take two more tomorrow. I will be so glad when this semester is finally over. I don't start Spring classes until January 18th. So I have some time. I'm not looking forward to driving to Kent next semester. I better start saving up gas money now so that I don't go broke. LOL!!
So I decided to enter the amateur stand up comedy contest. I have to do it. Just to see if I have what it takes. If I don't, at least I'll know I tried my best and that it wasn't for me. If I'm good....well, I didn't get that far yet. But who knows, maybe one day I'll have my own sitcom "Everybody Loves Aleta". LOL!!!
I was a little disappointed at my friends who didn't reply to my last blog. I was really looking for some good sketch ideas. That and a little encouragement. I did talk to some of you in person though. And of course Erin's computer wasn't letting her leave comments to my blog. But still guys....if you have any ideas let me know. I'm not sure how long my act needs to be. That and if I make it to the next round, I'll need a whole new act.
And now...it's really really late but, here's the secret of the week from Postsecret.
I chose this one because it was really sad. When I was younger I used to be scared that because my mother abused me as a child, that I might grow up to one day abuse my own children. Well, so far so good. I would never inflict pain upon my child. I love him so much. That's not to say I won't want to bitch slap him one day for talking back to me when he's a teenager. Even then, I really can't see myself putting my hands on my child.
You know, I always though that when I had a child of my own, I would understand what it was like for my mother. That I might be able to see why she abused us, let her boyfriends do all those bad things to us, and then gave us up and didn't even want visits with us. But you know what.....I am more confused than ever. I love my child and I wouldn't give him up for the world. I'm sure a lot of it had to do with her being mentally ill. Even still, I have no understanding for the things she put us through.
Okay...enough with the depressing shit.
I bedazzled my phone with Swarovski crystals. I did it to another phone I had back in the day and it turned out so well, I figured I'd do it again for this one. I only did the face plate that's on the front of the phone. It turned out well and didn't take too much time or money. I like it. The picture really doesn't do it justice. It's super sparkly, but in the picture you can't tell.
I'm going to the comedy club again on Friday with my girls. I love that place. There's nothing better than drinking a few too many and laughing your ass off.
Nothing more to say, Bye you all!

Okay, hopefully it will work for me this time. I don't know if you got my text or not since you didn't respond. That happened the last time i texted you too. But anyway, i texted you to say that I can't go Friday unless you do go to the late show. I'll be done taking Amanda home by 8:15. If you guys would rather go to the early show, totally cool with me. Like I said, I have a million things to do anyway.
I'm pretty sure I am gonna take off another month from school. So then I can definitely be there when you make your debut!
It's hard for me to think of funny things to talk about.... the funniest thing I can think of at the moment is a video called "The Landlord" on funnyordie.com. I don't think I've ever laughed that hard, it was freakin hilarious.
Another thing is maybe your love of guitar hero. Or Gameboy... :)
I have never had anything happen to me as a child as bad as you have. But I've made peace with the things that did happen. Knowing that just I am everyday, my mom was struggling. She probably struggled with depression and her alcoholism. I'm sure it wasn't easy to be the mom she knew she should have been back then. So I don't see it as a reflection on me not being a good person or whatever. Now my issues with my dad? That's different since those haven't gone away.
I don't know if we can ever truly understand how someone rationalized the things they did.
And your phone looks freakin awesome!
i look at sophie and i dont understand how my mother and father treated and did the things they did to me.. i see sophie and i melt and want nothing bad to ever happen to her. i feel the same way you do about being confused. its sad.. i dont know how any parent could hurt there child after being a parent.
that post secret made me sad aswell.. i figured you would pick that one or the target one haha.
the phone looks great! i promise to send you those pics of sophies shirts soon! im sorry im slacking in that dept.
Erin- I did get your text. I just didn't reply. No reason. I guess because I still didn't really know what was going on.
I've made peace for the most part with my past. I guess I just still don't understand it. I know that I wouldn't be me without everything that happened. So I wouldn't take any of it back. I always say that one day I'm going to write a book. I just want to make a happy ending first. (*see...I'm destined to do something great, I just know it.)
Thanks for the phone compliments. It looks so much better in person. For some reason the camera didn't set off the sparkly.
your phone turned out really cute!
I was kinda surprised you didn't pick the target thing on postsecret. Didn't you work there forever?
ALSO- I agree with erin. The Landlord is pretty effin funny!!!!
