To rewind and bring things up to speed a bit, a ton has happened since my last blog post. I earned my !! 4.0 !! last semester which I am SO super proud of it is UNREAL!!!! I am FINALLY back in school now for the fall semester and I have to admit, haven't had the most positive attitude. I absolutely LOVE school, but my fear of how the late semester is going to turn out makes me a nervous mess. After all, it is holiday season in a busier store WHILE trying to keep grades in the 4.0 clear. Maybe I shouldn't be so worried... in fact, I know I shouldn't be so worried. Sure it will be stressful, and yes, time will be short, but I just need to take it one day at a time. I made it through last semester BETTER than fine and that was while running my old store, my new store, and helping to staff half the understaffed stores in the district. I can do this.... right?
Also making an appearance on the noteworthy excitement list, I officially made my first adult purchase about a week and a half ago... A BRAND NEW CAR! Her name is Turbo :) and she is a silver 2011 Chevy Cruze and I LOVE HER TO BITS. Who knew a "grown up" car could make you feel so accomplished?
Many friends have had babies and even more are on their way to having babies.... so many in fact that my Travy and I are the last ones left. It's kind of weird to think about in those terms, but in a way, I am so proud of where we are. Our relationship is stronger than ever and I feel like we are headed in the right direction. September (this month) marks our fifth year of being us. And I couldn't be happier. :)
My new store is fantastic and I whole heartedly enjoy my new group of people. They are all quite the characters and we have been through so much together already. Lots of laughs, lots of tears, lots of frustration, and some very long nights. It should be a very interesting holiday season... I'm glad I have their support to make it through otherwise Jen might turn into a four letter word....
All furries are present and accounted for at the Goldsmith Zoo... even aquired a new addition: Shasta... a rotweiler/cockerspaniel mix. Yeah, I thought so too. Last night, which I missed, she apparently took a special affection to a fish hook which promptly ended up speared through her face. All is well today however, except for some puffiness, and she is back to her crazy self. Side note... that dog could use some anti-lock breaks. She runs into EVERYTHING!
Halloween is in FULL SWING here... I left this morning and things were normal... came home and walked straight into an episode of Tales from the Crypt. I love fall :) .
.... feeling excessive randomness commencing in 3....2....1....
- got new Steve Madden heels for dirt cheap recently. 5" heels. Painful.
- Cincetti's had fantastic food... we went there for the first time last week but don't know when we will be back considering their glazed carrots (best guess) gave me food poisoning.
- Onstar the service is truly almost as cool as Onstar the poodle. If I can start and unlock/lock my car from my phone and text it an address for it to give me directions the next time I get in the car, I can only imagine what my kids will have when they buy their first grown up car.
- I need to add more water to my fish tank. I also think that Shane Carwin fish is in fact a Shana Carwin as Travage fish has been following her around constantly with a nose up her butt.
- I should start recycling cans. Too much Pepsi Max. Maybe I should drink more water instead.
- Turbo Fire is amazing. Even better than P90X.
- Lucee is addicted to Cheddar Sun Chips. I have only ever had one bag but she is nuts about it.
- I should be writing a paper right now. It only needs to be two pages long comparing and contrasting Plato and Aristotle's views of virtue but somehow the randomness has taken over and I cannot seem to finish the damn thing. Go figure.
- Feeling slightly negative lately. Just feels like I am constantly rushing about at the whim of others at the expense of sleep, sex, showers, and sanity. It is making me a tad bit bitter I think. Lack of working out might be hurting that situation as well.
- The lead singer from Blue October is strangely hot.
- Having random body parts fall asleep is both equally frustrating and excruciating.
- I hope the next seven years of my life aren't equally as hard as the last year.
I need to write a more well organized blog.
Stress = Random. I bet by the time I am in vet school, my blog posts will consist of a bunch of one word nonsense. Hope you are still with me my camel friend... I promise it will be back to the thoughtful articulate banter usually found on this channel next time. Well.. maybe.
... must be the puppy chow... and the Pepsi Max....
