Remeber Me?

So it's been a VERY long time since I've written. But there has been SO much going on. Two weekends ago the Compound went go karting and had a field day. After that was Daddy-O and my going away party....total bummer. We all got drunk, including me, and laughed at the olympics and discussed the finer points of watching some whsip of a woman run FOREVER and how she looks so tiny and unhealthy but none of us could run that long that fast unless something serious was chasing us. Bravo to all those runners out there, as I am by far not one.
My last week of work was stressful and sad. I was trying to get everything up and running before I left and BARELY accomplished it. I got the store up on wednesday, my last day was thursday....and everything else was going fine.
Last weekend Cam and I went to DC. We just went up for a night and saw a few monuments and went to some of the museums. We saw what we wanted, skipped a lot and had a great time just being together and being out in DC walking around enjoying one another.
I was going to leave Sunday night, but I looked at the weather after we all had a FEAST of chinese and had Fay going trough Atlanta, and what I thought would be flooding the Jacksonville (JAX). So I got up with Cam on Monday and left at 6am. It was hard and I cried all the way to South Carolina. It was SUPER hard not to turn around and go home everytime that I stopped for gas or something.
The trip was a catastrophe itself. My phone died before I was out of Va, my cat pottied in her carrier, and I forgot my GPS and sunglasses. Not to mention that I just really didn't want to come.
When I got here finally, at 11, I just rinsed Reese off, took a shower and crashed. Got up at 5am the next morning and went to class. That afternoon I walked back into my old job at the bar and I haven't stopped since.
I've worked everynight since wednesday and I've gone to all my classes and almost finished all my homework that isn't due for 2 weeks.
Monday we don't have school, wednesdday I don't have lab, so I'm going to go put in applications around town to hopefully get a job that will help with what I want to do in life. I might keep the bar job so I'll always be able to go home whenever I want.
I really miss Cam and Sienna. I have never been this homesick in my life, I hope it will pass and in the next few weeks I'll get in the hang of getting things done here that I need to. But Cam sometimes says things that make me worry, I hope it's just the homesickness that's making me stress about every little thing. And it doesn't help that I have trust issues that I'm having to get over the hard way right now...
It looks like this is going to go from a once or twice a day blog to a once or twice a week blog. So it you read regularly (is there anyone?) don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I need the outlet for all my off base thoughts, and to lay out stresses that are stupid and pointless.

Still More Catching Up

Yesterday was uneventful. We got home delivery up and running and so I spent most of my afternoon working on getting inventory into the online catalogue.

Today the website was down, so I spent all of my day today on the phone trying to fix that. Today was uneventful.

I came home took the puppy to Auntie Kay's so she could play, and we could catch up. The I fixed dinner, and watched the Secret Life of the American Teen. Great show, hits on TONS of hot topics. And then more Olympics. Michael Phelps is AMAZING. I'm a HUGE fan of Natalie Coghlin though. I would have loved for my splits to have been half that good when I was swimming. And Nastia Luiken is amazing too she had such a bad landing on her parallel uneven bars the other night, but I'm sure the whole team can come back. They all seemed to have a rough time except Shawn Johnson.

So I'm about to be off to bed, I've caught up from Thursday to today, so I think I'm done with my blog for now. I'll have to not slack off and update it on a regular basis.....

Yet More Catching Up

So Saturday found me at work, exhausted, and everyone else in bed. Nothing really eventful happened at work except my scary run in with determined clients.

Cliff Notes Version:
So we close at 12 on Saturday. A client called at 28 till and wanted to know if a friend could pick up his dogs. I told him not a problem just be there before 12 because we close AT 12. He wanted to know about picking up on Sunday, I told him not possible either by 12 today, or wait till Monday. He asked about his friend picking up at 12:15, told him no one will be there, we close at 12. 11:45 came and we closed out, and at 11:58 everyone except me and one other girl were gone. 12:00 came and I locked the door and went upstairs to do back up. I had to reboot the server so it took at 15 min to get everything done. I walked back down stairs, looked out a window and then out the front door and saw a car but no person. I looked back out the previously empty window and there was someone looking back at me. Scared me to death. I went into an exam room because I didn't know the guy that was looking in the back door's window and standing between me and my car.

I called my manager and she said just wait about 5 or 10 min and they should leave. So I wait, and ANOTHER car pulls up. It was the owner. They start messing with the number punch lock on the back door and make me really nervous, so I'm now in the office very nervous. They knock on all the doors and tap on all the windows, call 3 or 4 times, and are there about 20 min trying to get into the building after they were told that no one would be there. After about 4 calls to my manager, they leave and I walk out and get into my car. So freaked out I forget to clock out.

I get home, and then we go to the beach and have a cook out. I came home early and watched the Olympics.

Sunday we spent on the couch because it rained. We just watched the Olympics and chilled.

Still Catching Up...

After my espresso induced coma, I slept in most of the day then did my little bit of house work and started dinner. We had the mayor and K-roo over for dinner.

We had pot roast, veggies, salad, broccoli rice and biscuits. It was SOO good. THEN to top it all off the mayor brought over Strawberry topped Cheese Cake.

After dinner Cam ran off to Bill's house warming party and I dropped the puppy off at Auntie Kay's for a play date with Cozy. Then K-Roo and I headed off to the mall to catch a movie and get Das Boot for Cam. We went to see "Step Brothers" (shh don't tell Cam) it was SOO FUNNY!! We got home about midnight and I crashed. It was a fun, but chill day.

Catching Up....

So to update you on the puppy. The owner went home and gave it a laxative (VERY bad idea) and it passed a rag...or at least that's what she said at first. She took the puppy to another clinic and didn't mention anything about the whole situation. However, the other clinic got a phone call and filled in on the poor puppy's situation.....she declined EVERYTHING except vaccines. And told the other clinic that the puppy passed a bra (hope it had no under wire...).

We got a report from the other clinic, I was so riled up I just wanted to call Animal Control on her, and all the girls that I work with were like " You have to get to a point where you don't care anymore than the owner" I don't think that will ever happen with me.

So ANY way, after work on Thursday Dr. M and the girls took me out for my going away dinner and it was great!! We went to Bravo's and OMG the food was YUMMY!! I was STARVING so we ordered appetizers and ate them all before Dr. M even got there. So my manager had gotten me a card, but she doesn't work on Thursdays, so she had everyone sign the card at the table. I was wound up and goofy so I was passing the card around saying things like "SHHH don't let her know, it's a secret" then acting all surprised when I opened the card.

My manager got me the CUTEST little lunch bag. She filled it with candy and snacks, and on the card wrote "May you never have another Snack Attack" because I'm ALWAYS eating at work. So anyway Dr. M finally got there, and I handed him the card and told him to keep it a secret because we didn't want me to know about the card. He laughed and signed the card, handed it back, and I acted super surprised when I got the card back. Everyone was laughing at me, but I rarely get to show my true colors at work and be stupid goofy.

So we had dinner and then dessert (I had vanilla gelato in a champagne glass with a shot of espresso over it YUM-O) and we all parted ways. I got home around 9ish and told Cam hi and we talked shortly. But the neighbor were having a cook out so we chilled with them and I was talking 90miles an hour because of the espresso. So I told my long drawn out version of the Great Dane Puppy Story all details and phone conversation include in about 10 min. I chatted the mayor's ear off until about 12.

And went to bed, and Cam didn't even know I had crawled in bed because about the time I got straight, I crashed and passed out.

Summed up in 3 words...

So today can be broken down into three sections: Work, Dinner, Night.

Work: A little exciting. We dubbed today "Stupid Tuesday with Vengeance." Every Tuesday it seems we get stupid phone calls, silly appointments and it's just a stupid day over all. We usually get stupid questions all week, but it seems we get the most stupidity on Tuesday. It's usually things like "My [insert pet] might have gotten into poison, ate a one pound Hersey kiss, has been puking/had diarrhea [insert ANYTHING else an animal can eat and isn't supposed to] on Thursday,Friday, or anything before Monday. Should I bring him in?" It makes good fun when we all need something to laugh about, granted it's nothing major that was eaten.

Today, we had a few one puppy ate wire Saturday or Sunday, went to an emergency clinic and was supposed to be to us Monday, she comes in and doesn't want surgery. I'll update you on the puppy's status tomorrow, but when I clocked out, she was supposed to take him to another clinic for MORE diagnostics, MORE radiographs and surgery. Then someone came in knowing she didn't have money to pay for the visit, and still made the appointment, and we had to jump through hoops to get her seen, and the flea problem with her pets taken care of.

Add this to coworker drama, and four lines ringing off the hook....it was chaotically funny today. I clocked out at 6:40, we close at 6 and BOTH doctors were running late. That kinda sums up most of my day at work.

Dinner: VERY yummy. We went over to the mayor's house, and we all cooked. Cam and the mayor grilled steak, K-Roo and I did veggies and Lei came over to eat. Lei was telling us about her puppy's training, and we're taking bets on how long it will be before T-Willie breaks the clicker she has.

Night: this is it. I came home, my back killing me, Cam took a shower, I played with iGoogle home page, and then took a shower. Realized I hadn't updated my blog today, and now that I have, I'm off to bed. G'night to all.

Seamus and my foot...

So the most amusing thing that happened today was that one of the Doc's puppy peed on my foot! Kinda my fault, she had just let him out of the kennel and he jump up, and peed on my foot. It was gross.

Anyway other than that some girl demanded to be checked in and was VERY rude about it. I came home, got the puppy, helped the Mayor change the oil in his truck...I looked like an Oompa Loompa!!....then Cam made dinner and we're chillin now...

We did make plans to go to Busch Gardens as a Compound outing weekend after next and Cam and I are going to DC the last weekend I'm here.

I really don't want to go back to Florida, but I need to finish school, I'm almost willing on putting money that I'll be back at least twice a month...

Monday Monday, Again...

So yesterday, we went to the beach and took the puppy. Bill came, and the puppy puked, so I brought her home and Cam stayed and got a tan. So she wasn't doing so hot all weekend.

Anyway, we went over to Lei and T-Willie's and cooked out, then came home and crashed. The rest of the night was uneventful.

Work was kinda boring, I slept in and then went to work. After a mini bunny crisis, I came home, went to the pet store and went to the mayor's house to chill at the table.

Cam and I ordered pizza, and went to bed.

A Night Out

So today was just chill. Cam helped Bill move, and I stayed in my PJs and tried to figure out where I'm going to work when I go back to school.

Tonight, I took the puppy to Auntie Kay's and they flipped out playing. Laney and I went to see "Mamma Mia" it was great!! I LOVE Abba and I couldn't have loved the movie more!!! We came home and got the puppy and Auntie Kay said that they played non-stop all night!!

Cam is at a poker game tonight, I hope he does well and has a good time. I'm throwing in the towel and going to bed. The puppy is passed out and I think I'm going to join her. Tomorrow I'm going to hatch out a real budget and maybe I'll be able to stick to it rather than just be able to pay my bills, and get some gas and maybe go out one night.

A Day Out

Yesterday was my house cleaning day. I got very little done, and then GW came and we went out for lunch. We went to the Mongolian Grill. It was YUMMY!!! But she wouldn't let me get the check. I owe her like 3 lunches now....

So after lunch we went out and saw "The Mummy", well the new one. Brendan Frazier is so yummy! After that she brought me home. But it was a good afternoon out.

Cam and I went to dinner at the Lynnhaven Fish House. It was so good! We had good food, good conversation. I really feel like he gets that I'm worried about when I go to school. We came home and I got the puppy from Auntie Kay, adn we went to bed. Cam was even cuddley last night!

I was nice and sleeping, and then the guy downstairs got in ANOTHER fight with his girlfriend and he was yelling and screaming at her I guess on the phone. I couldn't sleep because of his yelling. The two of them just need to break up, so I can sleep.

But anyway Cam is helping Bill move so THANK GOD no more pain in the butt when we go over to Lei and T-Willie's we can boot Bill's butt to the curb!!

New Blog?

So I'm thinking about starting a new blog for school. One just about the trails and tribulations of my journy back to school and through grad school. Good idea or no?

Also, I'm drawing a blank on what the name should be. Everything I've thought of is taken.
