Aruba was fabulous. The weather was great, the beaches were beautiful, the
food was awesome. I went snorkeling and saw a turtle and an octopus (he
inked me).

All in all I had wonderful time, but I am glad to be back!

PS-Tomorrow is (July 25) my birthday.

I am leaving in 4 short days for the sunny beaches of Aruba!! I cant wait,
I am in major countdown mode. Is anyone else close to vacation?

Just wanted to wish a Happy Fourth of July to my friends from the states!
Hope your weekend is filled with booze, burgers, and tons of fun!

Usually I am a HUGE Commerce fan but yesterday they really pissed me off.

My boss gave me a $25 Commerce/Visa card yesterday. I immidiatly read the
"instructions". The first paragraph basically (I say basically b/c I threw
them away) says your GC is ready to go, register it via the website to
order things on-line securely.

Go to the website and I cant for the life of me find where you register. I
figure oh well and move on with my day.

I decide to use my GC to grab some dinner, well imagine my surprise when it
comes back declined. I call the number on the back and after waiting about
15 minutes I finally get a rep and he tells me that the card takes 24-48
hours to activate. I ask him why the instructions say its available for
immidiate use. He doesnt know.

WTF?!?! I wish I had the instructions so I could quote them in a letter.
Damn me for being tidy and throwing them away.

So if you hear of a decreas ein DVD sales, you know who to point the finger
at.

What can movie theatres do? LOWER THEIR PRICES nuff said.

I dont think cheap will do it. I mean WalMart is cheap and I cant be
dragged in there. I honestly wouldnt mind spending the money is the
experience was up to par.

I actually have an artsy theater thats local. Its totally an adult place.
No kids under 6 EVER and no one under 16 after 6pm. Its a little pricy but
well worth it. The theaters are clean and the employees are nice. Only
problem with them is that since they are an artsy theater they dont rush to
get the blockbusters. If your in the market for a nice foreign film its
great.

I did it. After a long time of making fun of the My Space people I have
become one. Come be my friend.

Its that time of year when everyone is starting to graduate and I thought
it might be fun to hear what everyone wants to be when they grow up!

When I grow up I would like to do anything with animals. My greatest wish
would be to open a shelter. I already take in every stray I can it would be
nice if I could do it on a larger scale.

I often thought I wanted to own a pet store but I fear if I didnt have a
boss to reign me in I would chew out all the crappy pet owners. I would
imagine that would be bad for business-good for my soul, bad for
business...lol.

So...what about you?

I dont really know what to do w/ a blog so I'm just gonna post inane info
about ME that most people probably wont care about.

My name is Courtney. I live in NJ. I'm 23, I'll be 24 on July 25th. I have
a boyfriend of 5 years that wont commit and a yellow lab of 4 years that
needs to be commited.

I work for a mortgage company as an "executive assistant" a title I'm sure
makes my boss feel more impostant then it does me. I basically answer
phones, babysit loan officers, and send out documents, but the brunt of my
day is spent on the net. Poor, poor, little me...lol.

I found PF right after I left retail. I probably should have sought therapy
but this has proved to be much cheaper and entertaining.

More inane stuff about me later.
