So, on the way into work this morning, I was writing my journal entry in my head. It was talking about how much last night and this morning just sucked. I had to change clothes 3 times this morning. From head to toe. Not because I wanted to, but because I had to. I’ll spare you the gory details about why, but let me just say – all clothes are now in the washer and I hope they are not ruined.
I have a doctor appointment on Friday afternoon. As a few of you know, I’ve been having this problem with losing vision in my right eye. It comes and goes. I keep trying to blame it on stress, but it’s really starting to worry me. I almost wrecked because I couldn’t see and that freaked me out so I finally broke down and made an appt. SA is going to take me. Heh, gotta love Leo’s. I told her what was going on and she said “I’m going with you. Where do you want me to meet you?” How can I argue with that?
But, as I was standing in my regular gas station this morning making my cappuccino, a couple of interesting things happened to me.
1. I had a really good conversation with someone very dear to me. She always makes me laugh.
2. I realized it was almost time for Pumpkin Spice cappuccino – THE BEST cappuccino in the world - to come out again. It’s a seasonal thing and it breaks my heart every year when they stop making it. Maybe I will see if they will sell me a bag! Yay!
3. As I am making aforementioned cappuccino, this lady making herself some coffee says “Good Morning” to me. I smile and return the greeting. I see her in there fairly often – she must work nearby. Anyway, she then proceeds to say, “I don’t know if you’d ever be interested” as she hands me a piece of paper, “in getting together for coffee somewhere other than the gas station.” We laugh and I smile. She walks me out to my car and then gets in her car and drives away. I don’t know if I’ll call her, but she obviously had it plotted out because she already had her number written down.
And, to top it all off, on the radio this morning, one of the girls is getting to know this hardcore Christian guy. They were making fun of them and Kelly Raspberry says her dad used to say this to her:
“If you walked into that bar and Jesus was standing there, what would you say to him?”
Haha! I love that show. Personally, I’d say “Crown and Coke or 7 & 7?”
Man, I loved this episode. When Donna is in Amy’s chambers with the letter, and reads it, and Amy jumps up and screams – that seemed so genuine to me! When she tells her “You have the yellow brick road in front of you, but you won’t leave munchkin land.” Awesome quote! And lemme tell ya, I feel for Peter. What do you do when this woman that you still love but have some unresolved issues with and think just isn’t right for you does something sweet and understanding and takes you by surprise? It’s hard to keep telling yourself how wrong she is for you when she is being nice right now.
When Kyle is saying that he won’t have anything to do with the kid, and Maxine starts listening – I get goose bumps there. I just *know* something is about to happen. When she went off on him, “Don’t you abandon him! I deal with lost kids every day and I won’t find him for you!” Yep, I’ll admit it – the tears were there.
The only part to the whole episode that really seemed contrived to me - the scenes with Amy and David. Normally, I really like them together – but eh, they just weren’t doing it for me this time. But, I was feeling Amy’s pain with him being away because he needed to take care of something. When she is excited that he is back, and he holds her and tells her “We can be together in a year…” the look on her face…broke my heart. Great acting.
Alliance of Free Blogs - I found You Know You Wanna while searching for kitty porn. No, that's not a typo.
Judging Amy … I totally wrote that Munchkin Land quote down. I started cracking up though when she was all “Not that I’m calling you a munchkin or anything”
When Donna read the letter and Amy screamed I think I screamed too. I was so excited. Very geniune, I agree
The Maxine/Kyle part … very intense. I’m glad she did that because she knows things that none of them could possibly ever know or feel I’m sure.
I agree with the Amy and David scenes… I have never really liked them being together that much though… maybe I just havent’ seen it enough. Her phone calls to him though were awesome though.
Other than that I hope your morning gets better and you dont’ have to change clothes 3 more time. Sounds like an eventful morning at the gas station though. Good luck with the Doctor’s Appointment

Crown & Coke, baby! =^)
Comment by jayson_kyne — September 29, 2004 @ 3:02 am
Yeah, I’m a Crown and Coke gal myself. If I’m going to drink a mixed drink, that’s what I pick.
Comment by jaxia — September 29, 2004 @ 3:08 am
Oh yeah - her phone calls to him. When he doesn’t answer and she really needs him to be there for her. That is an awful feeling. I totally forgot about the kid at the end, with Amy saying “I see you.”
Thanks
It’s getting better already 
Oh, I went to look at your picture site. Very cool stuff! What would you like to do with it?

Losing vision?
Oh wow, that’s scary indeed…
*wishes you well*
Comment by xanderschild — September 29, 2004 @ 3:32 am
I am glad SA is going with you. I have been worried about your vision problem so I glad to hear that you are getting it looked at.
Laughing is good…very good.
Oh lord…the hunt is on for the first cup of pumpkin spice. I will let you know when I see it here.
Getting picked up at the local Circle K. Nice. Was she cute?
I’d say “Joe, right? He is a friend of mine too.” “Hey where is the blond, brunette and red head?”
Amy Note:
I loved that scene with them opening the letter. I could totally relate to my experience with “the” college letter. That was defiantly the quote of the evening and “I see you”.
I had a tear too. It was a good show. Can’t wait for the next one in two weeks. TWO WEEKS, blah I hate it when they do that!

clothes are transitory and unimportant. your health is neither of those. i’m glad you are going to the GP. is this something you’ve had problems with before?
i also noticed your inability to gain weight. please please watch your iron and nutrients (as in keep your intake high). eat good stuff
Comment by frogboy3 — September 29, 2004 @ 3:49 am
It’s been happening for a few months. I thought it was stress related because it pretty much stopped during the two weeks I had off from my last job. But, in the last couple of weeks, it’s started up again and is steadily getting worse, both in frequency and duration.
I try to take a multivitamin. I am not good about watching what I eat. I should get better at it.
Comment by jaxia — September 29, 2004 @ 5:10 am
Thanks hon!
Comment by jaxia — September 29, 2004 @ 5:10 am
Yeah well, normally I wouldn’t appreciate her (or anyone else) being so overbearing but my pride wouldn’t let me admit I wanted someone to go with me. I had other people offer and I told them no.
Actually, she was cute…blonde, around my height, athletic build, blue eyes, cute smile and drove one of those MBenz convertible 2 seaters.
I was upset when I saw the 2 week thing too. I wonder what’s coming on? Apprentice is tonight because of the debates tomorrow.
Comment by jaxia — September 29, 2004 @ 5:14 am
well good.
Score! Call! Even if it is a possible new friend.
Interesting timing my dear watson, I do say.
Is her name Kari and are you sure it was not a BMW?
Thanks for reminding me.

I fugging missed Judging Amy !! (must add to outlook schedule of tv!!) Email me some details, pleeeeease! (send me to TWOP and i’ll snatch you bald!)
Already seeing the Pumpkin Spice at 7-11 by my house… teeheee.
Too much jilling will make you go blind.

I think the “I see you” part was when my roomie’s boyfriend’s roommate came in to talk to me so I was only able to half pay attention until he took the hint that I didn’t want to talk. Was it the Mexican kid whose parents were getting divorced… when they were kind of crying I guess?
Aww thanks for looking at that. I’m all embarrassed now ha ha. I’m not really sure what I’d like to do with it because I don’t have much confidence in my abilities at this point. It’s hard when people around you are so amazing at it. One of my dream jobs is to work at this company called Serino Coyne Inc. They are the largest live entertainment advertising/marketing agency. They have branches in Cali and NYC. They do a TON of the broadway shows and other theatre productions. THey design the posters and all the promotional stuff.. what you see on the outside of theaters… all of that type of junk. Or if you’ve ever heard of Jim Fiscus I would like to do what he does too. Thanks again for checking that out

Umm..cataract? Just your vision going as you age so’s you need corrective lenses? It doesn’t have to be THAT bad. There’s ways to fix stuff like that.
*HUGS* and whatnots
Btw, try buying or mixing a supply of pumpkin pie spice and carrying it around with you when the cappuccino is out of season (much like baseball, only catcher’s-mit-tasting coffee doesn’t sound too hot).

Yep, that was the “I see you” part. I hate it when people interrupt me when I am obviously in the middle of something.
From what I saw, you are good!
It’s cool that you have what you want figured out. I hope it all goes well. I used to work for an Internet marketing company. It really got me interested in the whole idea of marketing. I had seen his stuff before, but I checked out the link - that’s sweet!
Comment by jaxia — September 29, 2004 @ 2:00 pm
I don’t plan to call her. But then I would have to find a new gas station. Gah. But I don’t want to have to get someone else over the hump from digging me to friends only. It takes too much effort and I am just not up for it right now. Eh, she might just want to be friends only. Argh! I think I’ll just find a new gas station.
Comment by jaxia — September 29, 2004 @ 2:05 pm
If you read this entry and the comments, it pretty much sums it up. Call me soon and I will give ya the low down - it was really a good epi, IMO
YOU SUCK. Why tease me with the pumpkin spice? I’ll be out hunting it down! Where did you say you lived again? heh…
No comment :p
Yay for new friends!
Comment by jaxia — September 29, 2004 @ 2:13 pm
I wear contacts. I have been to the eye doctor since this started. My vision is actually a little bit better. *shrugs*
I will have to figure something out, because I don’t think I can go another year without it!
