The are my new sneakers,New Balance, and I spent a hell of a lot of money for them. $80.00 plus tax. They better be the best damn running shoes ever.

Today was drug testing day. Following the directions clearly on the Fleet form, I made sure to drink plenty of water so that I would have an ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF URINE. What I didn't plan on was the sudden urge to shit about fifeteen minutes before I left work to go for the test. So I had to go, and going pooh means going pee. The two just go together. Therefore, when I got back to the office I made sure to fill my water bottle up and drink three times more than before. Well, on my way to the testing facility I had to go poo poo. Not solid pooh, but water based pooh. So here I am driving around New Hartford looking for Centrex and having to go both number one and number two. Once I find the place and I fill out the proper paper work, I go into the bathroom and pee in a cup. The cup overfloweth. I got urine on my hand, and I also let out the worst case of diarrhea ever known to me. Just as I began to wipe I noticed the sign on the dooor stating :Do not flush toilet. What? What a nightmare. So I come out and sign my urine filled bottle and left for the public restroom in the hall. I was in there for about twenty minutes. Peeing and pooping. Got into my car and got only ten minutes down the road when I had to go pee again. I'm driving down Gennesee Street, cutting off seniors and running red lights. My bladder hurt really bad. I stopped at a gas station to pee and they had no public restrooms. I got back in my car and drove 70mph down 5s. Basically, I got home before i wet myself.

Here's a funny. At work yesterday I had taken off the ring that Alex gave me for Valentine's Day. I was putting on hand lotion just as the woman seated in front of me turned to ask me a question. She had this look of amazement on her face and I thought she was questioning what I was putting on my hands, so I told her that it was "just hand lotion". She responded by saying; "Did you get engaged?!!". I quickly responded with a stunned "NO, NO. It isn't a real diamond." Hmm...I knew it was a nice ring but I had no idea it looked like an engagement ring.
My family has finally left and now the turmoil begins. My parents found out that $10,000.00 was taken out of my, now deceased, grandmother's bank account on the day that she died. My dad had told my aunt and she left an angry messege on my uncles answering machine. This would be the uncle that has access to that account. Well, my uncle called my dad tonight all worked up because he actually had a good reason as to why the money is missing. As I type my parents are at his house trying to make peace. It appears that the anger and bitterness that exsisted while my grandparents were alive is still here after their death.
As for my good news, turns out it is better than good. Yet, I still don't want to give away the delicious info. All I have to say is i'm the queen of ticket purchasing.

I have some sweet news but I don't want to jinx anything if it doesn't fall through. All I have to say is that I'm spending far too much of my money on rock concerts and the like. To think, I thought that once I graduated from college my going from one city to the next to see my favorite entertainers would end. I'll keep you posted. I should know the results by this time tomorrow.
Update: Family is still here. I think it is about time they left. Nothing sucks more than everyone else in this house (my parents, aunts and cousin) having time off from work and school, and I come home after eight hours to see them just hanging out. When I get up they are all still sleeping and I have to be extra quiet and eat in my room because people are sleeping on the couch.

Storytime with Rivers Cuomo.

Ok, now I'm really fucking pissed. I had just posted and published a really fucking long post about how pissed I am that my parents still treat me like a child, and now it no longer exsist thanks to my outlook express and those damn pop up adds from hotmail. Basically I've been a good girl all weekend doing what is expected of a non-grieving grandchild to a now dead grandmother that had nothing to do with me while she was alive. Now my dad is telling me that I have to go to a six year olds birthday party on a work night after I have worked for eight hours today. This isn't going to happend. I could say more but I put all of my heart and soul into the other post and just can't muster up anymore anger.

This past weekend was Alex and mine one year anniversary. It began with him forgetting the date. This is understandable. Our relationship didn't really begin with the purpose of having a long term thing. Basically, we began dating because we were both single and were looking for someone to spend our time. (i.e. We were both on the rebound.) Either way, it has been a year and we have become closer than I could ever imagine. We spent Friday night talking till 5am. We talked about things we just never had the nerve to ask one another before. Awaking at 1pm we dressed and jumped in his car for our trip to Wilkes-Barre, PA for the Weezer concert. Funny enough we ate dinner that Saturday night at Applebees, and our first date was Saturday February 10 at Applebees in Binghamton. This wasn't intentional, it just happened that way. For the first time Alex mentioned the hypothetical idea of marriage between he and I. He fears that if we ever did get married his mother would never accept a marriage that didn't take place in some form of religious ceremony. The ride home was spent with Alex's usual tales of his darker past and his sudden reawakening. Which he often credits me for. I love the fact that Alex cares for me in a way no one has ever done before. He is the most honest person I have ever met. This weekend will be spent in Binghamton. Who knows what the future will hold.

Ok, let me sum up the fact that teenage Weezer fans are the most annoying people on the planet. Alex and I were probably two of the only 50 people there above the age of 19. Most of the male fans were wearing surfboard pants, sweater vests, messy brown hair and black rimmed glasses. Basically they were trying their damned hardest to look like Rivers Cuomo. The girls were all decked out in their Weezer t's and face paint. The opening acts sucked, but it appeared that Alex and I were the only ones who realized that. Most of the kids were on the floor moshing and crowd surfing. We were being old and had actual seats. The best part is that Rivers Cuomo has recently grown a beard and has since stopped wearing glasses. So all of those teenage boys that showed up looking like Rivers circa 1996 got quite a surprise. That's why it's no shocker that they are all bitching on the messege boards that he needs to shave. I think this is Rivers way of preventing look alikes. He knows that most of the males that dress like him are between the ages of 14 and 19 and have no ability to grow that much facial hair.
Overall I give their musical performance an A+ and their enthusiasm for being there an F. Too many new songs and only an hour of Weezer. They took the stage at 10pm and left promptly at 11pm. It was the worst ending to a concert ever. Basically they just put down their instruments and left the stage. Show over. Good experience but I would never pay that much for one hour of music again. Don't get me wrong. I still love Weezer, but probably won't be seeing them in concert again.
As for the love department. Well, there is too much to say and I'm tired. So I'll fill that area in tomorrow. Maybe.

I'm feeling very hostile this evening. My wrists hurt like sons of bitches and I could have killed one of my co-workers today. I spent the whole day trying to tune her out by listening to John Mayer, Ben Folds, the entire Weezer library (which you can do in under two hours) and Smashing Pumpkins. Then I got home to find that Alex had replied to an e-mail I wrote him in a manner that I wasn't expecting. This weekend is the one year anniversery of our first date, so I sent him an e-mail saying "Do you know what this weekend is?" and he replied "I sure do." I sure do!? What the hell is that? He thinks I meant that this weekend is the Weezer concert, thus showing that he has no idea that this weekend is the anniversery. Then I see him on im right before I had to go out to the store and although I had my away messege up he doesn't send me anything.

For anyone who was wondering. Mr Alexander Leicht was indeed lost on Saturday afternoon. A ride that usually takes me two hours and 15 minutes, took Alex around 4. At about quarter to two he called me from a payphone about two miles from me. I had to drive down to a gas station and lead him to my house. All is well. He was not dead in a ditch, but I get this sinking suspicion that he won't be making that trip again.

Check out these pics. Rivers at the mixing board and Rivers outside the men's room It seems that my Rivers has decided to go for the scruffy look. Obviously, me being a woman who loves the scruff, I have no problem with Rivers going scruffy. Just as long as he doesn't grow his hair long again. Alex really needs to get here soon.

I forgot to mention. I'm getting great joy out of seeing the amount of people who come to this site due to a link from google. People put a search in for "Alice Childress" and end up at my site. Hello visitors from Google. Yes I am a Ben Folds Five fan. I'm assuming you are too. Sorry that there is nothing about Ben here. Enjoy.

Oh what a week it has been. A thursday snow storm/freezing rain. The roads in downtown Utica were not plowed and my little Toyota Corolla was slippin' and slidin'. Then on Friday morning the icy roads left over from the freezing rain the night before meant leaving 15 minutes early. My father has the flu and I'm starting to show symptons. I called Alex before I went to the dentist this morning and he informed me that he was thinking of not coming up. He felt it was snowing too hard. By the time I left for the dentist he hadn't called me back to let me know if he was coming.
The dentist almost had an orgasm over my teeth. (I'm seeing someone new now.) He wanted to know if I had "orthodontics" and if so who was the orthodontist. I informed him it was Furino and he replied "I had a feeling it was him. This looks like his craft work." The guys spoke of my teeth like they were a sculpture. Then he went on to praise Furino for the allignment of the teeth and how they "fell together". He finally closed the cleaning by congratulating me on my oral hygene and said he looked forward to many more cleanings. When I went up to pay for the appointment his secretary opened my file and proclaimed loudly "NO CAVITIES. YOU GO!" These people really need to get away from teeth.
Got home and Alex informed me that he was in fact coming and was leaving at that moment. This made me very happy. I went to great lengths to get my pals together to meet the man. Although Alex and I have been together for a year he has yet to meet my buds from home. The plan is bowling at 8pm. Funny thing, not only are Jodi and Shelly going, but I ran into an old friend from high school yesterday and invited him to go with us. This should turn out to be an intersting weekend. I'm thinking of bringing the digital camera and putting them up on my site. Hopefully, Alex won't get the flu and our Weezer weekend will rock.

BTW: My Rivers Cuomo obsession is getting worse. I find myself spending many hours on the web d/l'ing Rivers interviews (audio/video). Last night I watched the video for "Photograph". I also read a disturbing interview where he mentions that he has had sex with over thirty women. God Damn.
