New Layout & Veteran’s Day…

by Courtney Elizabeth · November 11, 2005 · Life ·

and i’m stuck here at work…I wanted to take my dad some flowers to his gravesite today, being that he’s a veteran and all…but that wasnt possible. :thumbsdown:

I have a few choice words…but I’ll save them. icon mad New Layout & Veterans Day...

Anyhow, see how i created this new layout…and I dont even feel like fixing the comment template right now? *sigh*
Sorry…I’m just not feeling working on it anymore…maybe on Sunday.

I still havent heard back from CSUN as to when I’ll be able to register. I wish they’d hurry up already…folks have things to do. I’ve been trying to save my money, but you know me and shopping…and I havent done ANY in 3 weeks. :curtsey:
HOWEVER…we’re driving out to my mom’s tomorrow…and I DO plan on stopping at the Camarillo Outlet Stores. icon razz New Layout & Veterans Day...

I also might be in the market for a new car. Abner is a 2002 Black Honda Accord, with about 45,000 miles on him. I might trade him in for a newer version, although he’s still pretty “new” himself. If I DONT get a newer version, I’ll probably just put some rims on him and fix him up a little bit until I get through Grad school. But once I complete grad school, all hell is about to break loose, cause Courtney’s buying a new Cadillac Escalade EXT. DONT TRIP!

Anyhow, I’d like to once again extend the invite to everyone (21 & older, of course) to stop over at IMGROWN.COM forums. Great people, positive convo…real good time. Some of you are already members, but you know…just puttin out there for folks who arent. *pointing finger*

Welp…I’m outta here..I refuse to stay 1 minute passed the time i have to today. I’m not giving out freebies anymore. icon mad New Layout & Veterans Day...
Have a blessed weekend ya’ll!

50′s movie died trying…

by Courtney Elizabeth · November 9, 2005 · Life ·

I’m BORED with this damn theme…I want something new and exciting, but i’m too lazy to put something together because I have other things that are going on.

It’s raining today…so it took me an added 30 minutes on top of my daily 1 hour to get to work this morning. I can not WAIT until the company moves closer to all of our homes *January 1*.

CSUN
I’m still waiting for them to update my status already, so that I can enroll in classes and get started already. I already have my classes picked out, so hopefully, once it’s updated, I can enroll, pay for classes and get my crap together. I’ve got high aspirations for this Masters.

2Checkout.com
2checkout.com is a bust. No one there knows what they’re talking about…I had to bypass two people and ask them to let me talk to someone else before I found someone who was actually willing to get up from their chair and go talk to “the CEO”. The person who actually helped me was named Courtney and he was Black too…what a coinkidink!

Explaination: They overcharged me by $99.00 on a monthly bill that was supposed to be $150.00. *smh*

Get Rich or Die Trying

I think Incog and I are going to go see this tonight once he gets off work. But I dont know if it will be worth it.

‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’ ‘ lacks life – By Robert Horton – Herald Movie Critic
It’s a matter of record that the screenplay of “Get Rich or Die Tryin’†” is a heavily fictionalized version of the real life of rapper 50 Cent, billed here as Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. But there’s no way his real life could have been as dull as the movie.
:rofl:

…followed by other headlines like…

Inert 50 Cent doesn’t get off the dime in ‘Get Rich’

50 Cent flick not worth two bits

An effort not quite right on the money

‘Get Rich’ a poor debut

If anything, I’ll enjoy spending time with Incog at our favorite past time…the movie theatre. icon smile 50s movie died trying...

WHO’S UP FOR GOOBERS!? :high5:

Have a good Hump Day Folks! I’m going to get my hot chocolate!

I dont

by Courtney Elizabeth · November 7, 2005 · Life ·

have any kids, but most of my friends have one here or one on the way…

But while posting to someone’s blog…I read a comment that caught me off guard.

A male blogger had posted a picture of his daughter and underneath it, some apparent “groupie” had posted…

how cute!! Is she smart??? who does she take after?

This made me think….

Now…is this nikka really gonna respond with, “No, she’s dumb”…
And in the event that he does respond with that, is he REALLY gonna follow up with “Yeah, she takes after me”. :loser:

I get tired of people posting dumb shit to people’s blogs…If you dont have anything GOOD to say, keep it short…or hell, dont post at all…but dont just go around posting dumb questions just to read your name and get a potential link back to your site.

I digress…

*okay that was my rant for the day*


Jarhead was a bust…

by Courtney Elizabeth · November 7, 2005 · Life ·

and in every sense of the word.

Incog didnt like it because it was a war movie and yet, it lacked WAR SCENES.

I didnt like it because it was boring. The middle was just real…*what’s the word?*…slow.

In fact, Chicken Little was better than Jarhead…lol. That movie was funny. No lie.

Anyhow, our weekend was pretty quiet and we had NO complaints. It was good to just…CHILL and not do anything.

I’m hoping that this week goes pretty smoothly.

Update on the Washington Mutual Deposit Issue
Welp, apparently two of the checks that I tried to deposit last Sunday were cleared from their accounts, but the money still hasnt been credited to MY account. I called again this morning to see what the issue was, and what the status of my claim was and the lady told me that I had to wait until tomorrow and call back being that today was the 5th Business Day and they had up to 5 Business Days. :thumbsdown: My Response…

So YOUR machine fucked up, and closed down on MY deposit, Credited my account and then DEBITED my account and didnt allow me to pull out or suck in my envelope, and NOW…I dont have access to ANY of the money that I deposited? If I didnt want the money in my account, I wouldnt have made a DEPOSIT, dummy! *meep, meep* Are you getting all this?

So then she transferred me to the ATM Department who then transferred me to ANOTHER Department, who then didnt even bother to answer the phone.

I called back two more times before i got someone who was willing to do some footwork. She told me, I spoke to someone in the Claims Department and they’ve told me that they’ve received your phone calls and you should be getting a credit to your account today. :tearsjoy: Thanks!

Only God…..

Anyhow, I hope everyone had a good weekend and has an even better week. Dont waste money on Jarhead, it’s not worth it.

October 31st

by Courtney Elizabeth · November 1, 2005 · Life ·

*sigh*

I did it…I dressed up. I didnt want to…but I didnt want to be the only one NOT dressed up. And the one coworker who was giving ME an excuse to not dress up, by not dressing up himself, gave into temptation. So I pulled out the pajamas that I brought…along with the rubber bands to put my hair in pigtails, slid into my pink furry slippers and grabbed my UCLA bear who was missing one eye and had his neck in a noose… I dont know WHAT i was…but it worked.

Damnit.

DSC 0392 October 31st

Have a good Tuesday folks!
