Confessions of A Working Girl

I’m going to be staying at my grandparent’s house this weekend. I can remember, when I was younger, I would get so excited to go to their house. My siblings still do…almost every time my grandparents come over, at least one of my siblings, usually “Dori” or “Tomo”, (the youngest at 7 and 9 years old) ask my grandparents, “Whose turn is it?”

[And just in case anybody’s wondering why all the names I’m choosing are Japanese, it’s because I’m currently trying to teach myself Japanese, so it’s sort of on my mind]

Foolishly, I bought a pet mouse. I named her Artemis. It was foolish because the cost for the mouse, bedding, food, water bottle and cage came to about $70. That was seventy dollars that I don’t really have. Plus, I’m now wondering what to do with her when I go back to school–the dorms only allow fish. I’m going to find that housing agreement I signed and see the exact wording…maybe there’s a loophole for mice. ^_^

I got Mike off my back for a week by telling him (three days ago) that I was going to be at my grandparents until next Thursday. I’m actually going to be back Tuesday or Wednesday, but he doesn’t need to know that, does he? He also doesn’t need to know my cell phone number–I’ve threatened my siblings with retribution should they happen to tell him.

Speaking of annoying people…my brother Jin is perpetually at the top of that list. Like today for example. He stood in the doorway for about 20 minutes going “So, will you? I’d consider it a personal favor. So, would you?” (He was asking if I’d go to Gamestop to buy a game for him if he gave me the  money.) I ended up saying that I would, primarily because I knew that he wouldn’t go away until I agreed. I’d already said ‘no’ about ten times, but he’d ignored that and continued bugging me.

I can’t really think of anything else to add for the moment…except that I’m going to go watch the Mentalist soon.  That show is awesome! Partially because it is reminiscent of Columbo, and partially because Simon Baker is good in that role and has a good supporting cast.
