Princess of Power

so its been awhile. i figure, maybe if i skip a few days whatever i have to say will seem that much more interesting.

we got cable internet, but thats only in one room. so this weekend we bought a router. i love how the package said get connected in '3 easy steps!' cuz i had an idea that it wouldnt be that easy but the box tricked me into thinking it would be easy, after all, step three was 'use the internet' or some such nonsense. of course it didtn work. we spent hours fiddling wiht the settings and ip numbers. finally my good computer type friend solved our problem in 5 seconds. it was amazing and im forever in his debt. because now i have cable. not only that, but wireless cable.

i had to babysit today. i havent done that, not with other people's children, in a few years. sure i worked at a daycare type place and i watched my kid sister but actually babysitting and diapers and all that.. its been awhile. one of my friends volunteered me and i felt bad saying no. when i first heard that there was a 2 year old boy and an 11 year old girl, i thought 'oh no, a baby.' you'd think the 11 year old wouldnt be so bad compared to the other. i was so annoyed at her the whole time. she was in a bad mood and rude. i tried talking to her and being sympathetic but gave that up after awhile. she said i talked to much. screw that. so the boy is the sweetest little kid ever. cute, well behaved, cheerful. complete opposite. he took a nap after awhile and i may be wrong but i think there cant be much worse than waking up a baby. so what does the girl do? wakes him up. i was so mad! of course he was grumpy from being woken up. argh. and she just laughed. she also was torturing their grandmother's cat every time i looked at her. that and watching tv. what a brat. if they call again, i think i'll be too busy to put up with that crap. its kinda sad because i liked the baby.

enough complaining. at least i made a good bit of money. ha. now that i think about it, i dont think they'll be asking me back. they looked surprised when i said i hadnt babysat in a long time and i guess i didtn feed them enough. im not good about that. mom always got on my case about letting my sister go hungry. i just dont think about it if im not hungry, and kids dont always tell you when they are.

went to sarah's to spend the night the other day. it was fun. i havent done that since high school. we played some video games, watched the commentary on spinal tap (which is hilarious). we also went to see harry potter. i like those movies. good entertainment. i should rent the others with this blockbuster insanity. sarah's dog is great. she sounds like a monkey and her name is she-ra -- thats right, like the 80s cartoon.
