Dear Person Who Stole My Credit Cards,

I would just like to point out the fact that you suck. Enjoy your stolen goods from Victoria's Secret, Bebe, and Look- whatever that is. I hope the PF Changs you ordered on my Debit Card gave you food poisoning. Please know that you have not only stolen quite a bit of money from me, you have also greatly inconvenienced my life, for along with my credit and debit cards, my drivers license and sheriffs card were also in my wallet. Not that you care. You obviously have no thought or care for anyone, except of course, yourself. Have a Merry-F***ing-Christmas.

Waking Up is Hard to Do...

I have to be at work at 7 am tomorrow morning, after having become used to going in at 9 for almost 6 months now. I have never been a morning person- well no, that's not true, when I was a kid I'd get up early on weekends to watch cartoons. Let's just say I've never been an obligatory purpose morning person. I'm hoping to be tired and fall asleep soon, so that tomorrow morning when my alarm goes off at 5 am, it won't seem so early, but I'm sure that won't happen. Five am will always be an ungodly hour no matter what time I've gone to bed. Five am should be illegal. Wish me luck, at least I'll be off at 3.

A Boy and His Dog...

My younger brother's pride and joy, the apple of his eye, and the love of his young life was his Pomeranian, Courtney. Courtney was his "daughter," which of course made me her aunt. Today my mother called me to inform me, that my furry niece had to be put down.

She had been suffering for quite some time, first from diabetes, then from cancer. Cancer is just as evil to dogs as it is to humans. After several operations, there was simply nothing else to be done and the cancer began eating its way through her skin.

I was not as attached to Courtney as a good "puppy-aunt" should be. She was loud and obnoxious, and nipped at you when you would try to leave. She was high strung and licked too much. But despite all that she was a beautiful girl, who loved ice, and most people. What's more she loved my little brother as if he really were her parent, and he loved her all the more for it. When he first learned about her cancer, he smuggled communion bread home from church to feed to her and make her well, and I think it even worked for awhile, but not long enough. My heart breaks for the little boy who lost his beloved puppy today. But remember John, all dog's go to Heaven.

In loving memory of Beau 1988-2005 and Courtney 1995-2005

Still Awake...

So it's midnight, which is about an hour past my usual bedtime, and I'm still awake. Not wide awake, but awake enough to know that trying to go to sleep will not do me any good. So rather than toss and turn in the frustrations of trying to force sleep upon me, I figured I might as well blog a bit. So here's what's new...

My parents have sold their house, which is kind of weird. They're renting a place for the next couple of months until their new house is finished. They made enough money from selling there house to basically pay off every debt they have- well pretty much anyway- which is super cool.

Our soccer season begins again this Friday. Although I'm excited to play soccer again, I'm not really looking forward to it all that much. I won't have a sub so I will be running around for pretty much 40 minutes straight... running and I don't get along so well. But I'm sure it'll be a blast anyway. I had lots of fun the last 3 seasons we played, and it will be great to see everyone again.

Speaking of seeing people again, I ran into Jeremy, Lori, and Logan last week at Target. It was really great to see them again, and Logan is getting so big now! I was very happy to hear that they are doing well, and I wish Jeremy lots of luck with the Four Seasons. I promise to call them soon and have them over for dinner.

This weekend I may or may not be going on a rock climbing trip, which sounds super fun, though the logistics of the trip may not really work with our schedule. It would be rockin to go, but I wouldn't mind a nice quiet weekend at home if everything doesn't pan out.

Well that's about all of the updates I can think of... oh... I have come to terms with the fact that I have a shoe addiction... I love shoes, perhaps a little to much... I've bought 4 new pairs of shoes in the last 2 weeks... it's a sickness, I'm trying to cope...

Love you all. Sweet dreams!

Bad Blogger...

So I know I said I would write more, and that was like 3 months ago. I've been busy with the new job, and not a whole lot of internet access, so forgive me for being so tardy with this post. I'm loving my new job for the most part, though when its busy its hard on my body. I'm actually making a decent living now, though, which is wonderous! I'm paying off college debt, and soon I'll actually be investing for the future- what a thought. For those of you who check me out here every so often, I'll try to be more frequent, though, I can't make any promises. It's hard to make time to organize my thoughts, but I think it will help if I try. So, if all goes well, I'll be back here soon.

So Many Goals So Little Time...

Well, actually, more like so little money. But, little time as well. There are so many things I want to do with my life, I feel like I'm running around in circles trying to decide where to go. There are so many classes I want to take, so many things I want to learn, to become. I went to Utah in April to learn Thai Yoga Massage, and it was probably one of the most fun things I've ever done! I miss learning and going to school- as odd as that sounds, it is the truth. I really want to become a personal trainer, which I fully intend to do once I accrue the funds to do it. I'm hopefully going to take a class this summer on sports nutrition, again provided I can afford it. Being a grown up is hard, I'm not handling it well lately.

A Whole New World...

This Thursday I begin a new adventure in my life- the actual start of my career, after only one year of anticipation and waiting. This Thursday I have my orientation at the Excalibur. I'm still a little weirded out about working there. It seems kind of cheesy to have a spa at the Excalibur for some reason. Even so, the spa is quite lovely. At the same time, it's pretty cool though. I'm a massage therapist on the strip- that's a pretty tough gig. I hope I can survive it. It's not my dream job, but I'm hoping it will be a fun experience. Wish me luck!
