MCOQueen's Ramblings

I hadn't actually seen a portable GPS unit in action until I came to Texas.  My friend Jasmine uses one in her car.  It is the neatest thing!  In a big city, it is very helpful.  I ended up going to the Dallas Zoo yesterday.  My friend, Mona, whom I haven't seen since 2000 when we were both on pilgrimage in Haifa.  I lost track of how often we got lost yesterday.  We kept joking about needing a GPS unit.  I realized at some point yesterday that I have Verizon Wireless Navigator on my phone.  It's GPS navigation.  I bought a small subscription and used it to drop off another girl who had come with us.  Mona's youngest sister came with us to the zoo as well.  VW Navigator kicks butt!  I used it to get us to where I am currently staying.  I want to get a GPS portable unit for my mom.  People with poor sense of direction would really benefit from it.  I am hoping to get my hair done today.  I'm not quite sure what to do with it right now.  It's so hot and I might cut it short.  I am going to dye it though.  

I think I am suffering from Kitty withdrawal.  Thomas took his kitties two days before I left to Texas. The friends I'm staying with do not have pets.  I can't wait to see my parents' kitties and give them each a hug.  I have been indulging myself on Bubble Tea.  I got my mom hooked on  it too.  I really wish I could get some in North Carolina.

Later. 

Tonight felt more like a Monday than it did a Friday. I got my usual amount of commercials and a few promos. One or two extra feeds, but I managed to get everything done by 11pm. I usually leave early if I'm finished with everything, but since J.G. (Not John, the other J.G.) is here I don't think that would be a good idea. Plus, A.W. wants me to be here in case anything happens. I'm cool with that.

I am hoping to sleep well tonight because I have a ton of stuff to do tomorrow. First thing to do is to get started on my laundry. Second, I will be going to Best Buy with my brother to buy my laptop, and then third, around 4pm I have to be at my parents' apartment in order to get my hair cut. My mom's friend is going to cut my hair there. I can't wait! My hair is too heavy and I feel it putting a strain on my neck sometimes (especially if I wear it in a ponytail). Last, but not least, I must pack everything! I just know I'm going to forget something. I almost always do.

I have no make-up. I must borrow some lipstick from my mother. How sad is that? I even have to borrow some jewelry from her as well. I am so not a girly-girl. *Sigh* One of these days I'll care more about dressing up, I hope.

I know my cat, Vita, is going to miss me. She is going to drive Adib crazy. Either she'll drive him crazy or will sleep in my closet all the time. She practically sleeps in my closet all the time already. If I haven't seen her for a few hours, I just have to look in my closet and she's in there sleeping on a box. I'll miss my kitty.

This is a picture of me when I had dyed my hair and had it highlighted back when I was in college. My hair was really short back then! My hair is way too long now. I'm going to get it cut this Saturday.
