Music: Dont Wanna Be Torn~ Hannah Montana 3
Book: Meh I need to finish Blood Hound
Mood: Cheerful!


It looks as if my sister Elizabeth is moving back in. Which means, I need to move my junk out of her room lol. I dont have a whole lot of stuff in there. Okay, just my sewing machine, easel, trunk with antiques, antiques, craft stuff, oh and did I mention two shelves of books? lol, I have way to many books. I'm debating on whether or not I wanna put the books up on Ebay or just donate them. I'll probably end up giving them to the local Library or um, keeping them locked away in the basement. I have way to many books.

I should have probably moved all my stuff into her room but I was too lazy lol. Her room is bigger. Oh well, its too late now.

I still havent gotten them money to fix my car yet from Allstate. Which sucks. My car still looks smashed in on the passengers side wheel. I will never go through Allstate again. I like my insurance company far to much to go through Allstate. They're saying that $1400 of the damages we spent down south werent due to the accident. Well, I took it to my insurance company and they said, I should be reimbursed for the whole thing. Which I totally agree on. I'm gonna get them up on the car rental too. Heh.

It looks like I might, just might pass Psychology yay!

Oh and I decided that next month, I am gonna redo my resume and start sending them out. *sigh Oh joy the fund of job hunting. I hate looking for a job. But I am not going to college to have a degree sit there. I will have a job in it.

Well, back to finding a spot for all my stuff.

The Roaring Twenties Dance Music & Visions ( Alice Twilight POST)

I had some corny music playing from my cd player from the early 1920s. Songs no one would remember these days unless they were from the time period, or actually listened to vintage songs. I loved listening to that type of music. It reminded me of… of well the 20’s. Which really weren’t that interesting. I had done a lot of wandering around in the 20’s on my own. I had not met Jasper until around 1948. So yep, I did a lot of shopping and coming up with my own little ways to make money and steal the things I needed. Life wasn’t as easy as it was for me now that was for sure. But I still made the most of it.

I did a little jig as Jasper came in and put his arms around me. I turned around and danced a little with him and then twirled out from underneath him. He laughed softly like he always did when I made him smile.

“What are you thinking about so happily?” He asked.

I shrugged. “I’m just glad I found you when I did. I can’t imaged what it would be like not to be with you. To have no one. Poor Edward.” I murmured.

“Mhm. Poor Ed.” Jazz said rubbing his nose into my hair.

“Jasper, come on, we really should try and think of something to help him get Bella’s memory back. That and I miss her too you know. She was a good friend.” Jasper sighed.

“What do you see about all this?” He asked me.

I quietly looked at him. I was waiting for someone to ask me this. I hadnt quiet told Edward this yet, but I had seen Bella’s life as a bleak, sorry state without him. Poor Bella and Edward. I really should probably tell him. I just couldn’t bare to see the look on my brother’s face when I did tell him.

“Alice? What do you see?” Jasper asked me again turning me to face him.

“Neither Bella and Edward will be happy.” I said truly sadly.

“Alice I am sure they will both be fine.” Jazz said soothingly.

“No Jazz, my visions are rarely wrong unless the person changes their mind. You know that. Bella will never remember us or Edward. Her life with be a bleak empty bit of sorrows. Just like Edwards.”

“You’re sure?”

Yes.”

“Then you should tell Ed.”

“Yeah so he can go with Emmett’s plan?”

Jasper chuckled. “No, so he can think of some way to help Bella.” He answered.

New treasure at the antique store

Location: Bedroom
Music: Hilary Duff
Book: Bloodhound (Tammy I promise to finish reading your book one day)
Mood: Content

Today, I went out with my little sister who was here from Grand Rapids. We went to Walmart and bought a few things, and then to the Antique store and once again I have found that I really need to stay away from Antique stores lol. Yesterday I was so good about spending my money. But today, I think I spent to much. Dont want to know how much I spent yet.

Anyway, at the antique store I found The modern Pocket Hoyle. Its a very old book that even shows you how to play Faro which is illegal to play in casinos now in the US. Its a pretty neat little book even if it looks beat up. I've searched for the year it was published but the book doesn't say. It also looks as if it was rebound. Here's a picture.



As you can see the little book looks like its been through alot and it looks very old. I was generally surprised when I found it. I also found an original edition of The New Chronicles of Rebecca. Which is the sequel to Rebecca of Sunny Brook farm and bought Rebecca of SunnyBrook Farm too. I got all three books for twelve dollars. The modern Pocket Hoyle was only three dollars. I'd love to know how much its worth if anyone has any idea. Please tell me. :)

Been at Flying J for three years!

Location: Bedroom
Music: The Chieftains~ Further Down the Old Plank Road
Book: Blood Hound ( I need to finish this)
Mood: Sleepy


Nothing really special happened today. Okay I just lied. I got my a plaque for being at Flying J for three years! Its a really nice one to and came with a neat and expensive looking ink pen that has gold and silver outlining on it.

And because I've worked at Flying J I got to chose a gift in an online catalog or the one they sent with the plaque. I chose to do it online because you can usually get things faster that way. These gifts weren't cheaply made nor were they cheap either. Most of them cost well over a couple hundred bucks. So after looking through the website a few times and really thinking about what I wanted I chose a pair of Sony MDR-DS6000 Surround Sound Wireless Headphones (http://www.nextag.com/SONY-MDR-DS6000-Surround-606644867/prices-html) I figured I use headphones every day and I would use these the most out of everything in the catalog. I cant wait to get them. They look really cool. Heh.

I find it hard to believe that as of July 26 I will have been at Flying J for three years. So much has happened since then.
