hello again! yesterday was my boyfriend's birthday finally. next is valentine's day. he is getting homemade gifts for that occasion, no more money is being spend on him for a while. i should start working on my valentines if i am going to live up to my reputation of craftiness. it is a shame, i just dont have the time like i used to or the money.

i finally got a job. i work at the YMCA in southgate, but i havent been able to start yet. i have to wait until i get trained for the computer software that i will be using. they said that it could be a while, which sucks. i was doing chores around the house for money. i find it funny that when i ask to do chores to get money earlier in the year my mom said NO. my brother asks and she says YES! i made sure that i got to do some too, but not surprisingly, my mom says that she isnt going to pay me as much because i dont do as much as him. which is really stupid. he does a bunch of little things like wash dishes(only two loads a day), vacuum, and sprinkle Comet in the bath tub. i had to dust the whole house and do all of the laundry. i would spend the whole day doing chores, so i couldnt dust everyday because i had school work. plus, how can you dust if there is no dust to dust. so last week when allowance came up, austin got $20 and i got $10. so im not doing chores anymore. i swear my parents hate me.
