The Online Home of Valli Hilaire
It’s funny that there’s nothing really physical about a “physical”. I had one today with this new doctor. At first I thought he was a jackass but then he ended up being ok. He asked a bunch of medical questions, and one of which was “are you sexually active?” and I was like “no”, and he’s all “that’s good” and said something about good for you or something, I dunno. Then I was like “I’m 23, that’s not good”… then he laughed and was like “that’s very honest of you, I like that”. Funny.
Anyway… So I’m glad that’s over, they’re also having my bloodwork done, which as usual was really weird to see. Seeing your blood fill up two vials is just strange. I think that’s my fave part because it doesn’t hurt and it’s like the only thing that you do during your physical that really says something about your health.
After that I went to see Shrek 2. It was good but didn’t seem to be as funny as the first one. I just thought it was sooo awesome that Jennifer Saunders was the voice of Fairy Godmother. She is Adina from Absolutely Fabulous, one of my all time favorite british comedy shows.
And then after that I went to Barnes & Noble to check out books on weight loss surgery (WLS). I found Carnie Wilson’s two books but only read a bit of one. Her first “Gut Feelings” was about her childhood and her life leading up to and after the surgery. Then the second book called “I’m still hungry” was about after the surgery and just some tips for people thinking about having WLS too. All of it was very helpful. I feel a lot more comfortable with the decision to have the surgery. I wish I was able to schedule all those appointments that I have at the end of the month for tomorrow! I called my healthcare company to find out if the surgery was covered and it basically is, but they have to approve it and that can take up to a month. Which is shitty, I really want to get a move on it.
I guess its a good thing that’ll take some time to get the surgery scheduled because I’ll need time to get the money together for the surgeon fees. Plus my mom is going to sell her house, this house and buy a bigger one. It won’t be brand new, but it will be a resale house, probably here or in Brentwood or Oakley. This past weekend we went to a couple open houses and there’s this one house that I definitely want her to buy. It’s bigger than this house, the rooms are bigger, even the smaller ones, plus there’s a POOL and a SPA (that can fit ten people). The pool even has one of those bars with stools in the pool itself, plus three waterfalls, it’s sooooo cool. There’s tons of room for tables, chairs bbq’s and a basketball hoop, plus a deck! Ugh. The house does need some work because the owners picked some crappy tile and horrible appliances. Overall though, I think its perfect. Oh and the drive way is an actual, drive waaay. It’s a u shape, you drive up one end and come out at another, while passing by the front door, that has a “Port Cochere” which is just this over hang thingy over the driveway. It’s super cool.. and the rest of the neighborhood is full of big fabulous custom homes. It’s sick. I love it.
I actually am not looking forward to moving, but because of the surgery, moving out on my own is going to have to wait, I can’t pay off credit cards AND pay for surgery at the same time, which sucks ass. But if I have to live with my mom I’d like it to be in that house, with a friggin pool! My eyes started watering when I thought of the AWESOME parties I could have there.. *sigh* Gosh I wish I had that place now, my third of july party would be soooooo great. ugh.. anywhoo.
Lets see, I went to the FT show at imusicASS, which actually smelled like ass that night. There were a lot, a lot of people there because it was TC’s last show ever, (supposedly) and so FT didn’t go on last, they went on third, which was just weird and wrong and strange. Things were weird with Elise. On our way to Denny’s after the show I was just saying how it was weird and wrong and strange for FT to not go on last. And she was all like serious about how it was because they did that because it was TC’s last show and they were asked to be on the bill so therefor they couldn’t go on last. Which I knew and wasn’t saying that I didn’t get WHY they had to go on third, I just thought that it was weird to see them like that, especially since TC sucks ass. Anyway it was just weird, the whole ride was quiet. It just tells me that we just shouldn’t hang out that much, it’s just odd & awkward.
It’s funny how things present themselves, because there are no coincidences in this life. I don’t understand why people think that if for example you wanted to go to Las Vegas and stay in a nice, good hotel that it has to be super expensive. It DOESN’T PEOPLE!!! I stayed at the friggin Palms, the most popular hotel in Vegas as of late, for only 70 bucks a night! So don’t tell me that you can’t friggin afford it, because the deals are out there, and they’re not hard to find either. All I know is that it would be nice to just go on a real vacation. I wouldn’t mind going with my family even, but only if it’s everybody. Other than that I’d rather go with friends.
I’m watching Bridezillas right now and these women are psycho. Okay, not all of them, but the majority are a bunch of spoiled brats. I mean if I was going to get to wear a $4,000 dollar wedding dress I’d be soo incredibly happy and grateful, but I guess when you get that all the time you don’t think about that stuff. So eventhough I don’t have a lot of money, I’m grateful for that fact. I think I’ll appreciate all the things that I accomplish in my life that much more because it wasn’t just given to me. But on the other hand if I won a million bucks tomorrow I wouldn’t refuse it by any means. I’ve already got that money spent in my head.
Ya know this whole WLS thing, the thing that excites me more than being able to shop at more than one store, is thought that I would have the ability to do all the things that I’ve always wanted to do, like learn to surf, drive race cars and just travel in a plane without intruding on someone elses seat. Oh and swimming! Wearing a bathing suit! I think the last time I wore a bathing suit was like junior high and I didn’t even go swimming in it, I don’t think.
I have enjoyed having four days away from work. I’m sure tomorrow I’ll be hating life there, but I gotta deal with it. I’m looking forward to the structure of it, of work, but not the actual work really. I’m looking forward to my cube/desk space area. It’s nice. That ho, kimmie gibler was like “you like your new space, valli?” and I was just like “yep”.. and that was it. You would think she would get the hint to not talk to me at all, but she never does. And of course tomorrow I’ll have to endure the questions about how my long weekend was, bleh. Just leave me alooooone! I hate it when they ask, I don’t ask them about their weekends, I don’t care and I’m not going to pretend like I do, unless they start it first.
Oh and at the show, tater-tot scott was there. He hugged me so freaking hard. Anyway, I invited him to my party only because I’m hoping (& praying to a God, any God) that he’ll get Range to come too! Apparently Range is training to be a triathlete or something and he lives in Mountain View.
Okay, I’m tired, gots to go.
