Think it over

I swear that the dog I'm dog-sitting for just farted. And Oh! My! Gosh! *gags*

You know how it's hard to say "no" and then you end up in situations that you'd never really put yourself in if you had the chance to think it over a lot, but you say "yes" in an instant of pure insanity and misinformation? Yeah? Good. 'Cause that's dog-sitting for me. Please feel sorry for me.

But I have learned that I like being on my own. Although, I don't see myself getting a dog. They're too much work when you just want to be selfish. I like doing things in my time when I feel like it, but dogs have to be on a schedule. I had always envisioned me buying a cute little dog, but I don't think that's going to happen. Little and cute or not, they still need to be taken care of.

I'm so bored at my new job. They were 3 months behind when I came, but now I'm all caught up and I'm desperately hoping that there's more to it than what I'm doing now. Otherwise, I will go insane.

Other than that, my Kayla turned 8 on Sunday. E-I-G-H-T!! That's just crazy. It makes me feel so old. But that's life. Nathaniel is going to take her horseback riding this weekend and my sister got her little pink cowboy boots. Because she's obsessed with horses right now. I hope she has fun!

OTH Wednesday!

While searching for the next Pussycat Doll (which is very important, mind you) I have been deprived of my usual OTH Wednesday goodness. I was beginning to think nothing would be right with the world. I mean, would Peyton ever get away from her stalker? Would the high-school married couple (Nathan & Haley) be able to carry their baby to term...they've been through so much already. I mean, getting hit by a car and still being alive is a miracle in and of itself, but to keep your baby, too?? And would Mouth be led astray by Rachel? Oh, the burning questions that were haunting my mind!!

But.

Alas.

OTH returns with a vengance. Last week was a new episode, and tonight is a 2 HOUR marathon, including one of the episodes that I missed.

I think I'm going to be okay here. (....it has a candy shell on it. Hmmm. Surprised you didn't know that....)

I digress.

Anyway, I made it through the night house & dog sitting. Of course, as I was lying in bed and saying my prayers, asking God to protect me and make sure I was safe from burglars, hurricanes and tsunamis, Jacob (the dog) started barking and growling and ran toward the door. SCARY! Luckily, nothing happened. So I turned on Jay Leno to drown out any background noises that may have been unfamiliar to me. Hopefully I sleep better tonight.

AND, one last thing. Way to go Anton Apollo Ono! You are my dancing queen.......I love you and your speed skating quickness on the dance floor. (His winning has nothing to do with the fact that my mom and I both called in, each having 2 phones going at the same time, and then going on the internet with every possible email address available to us for voting. Nah, it had nothing to do with that!!)

Well, gotta go walk the dog.

Thought I Forgot About You, Didn't You??

Well, well, well. The ditzy blonde finally finds her way back to blog land.

My job has been going really, really well. I am glad that I made the change and from what I can tell and from what others have been telling me, I'm doing well. That makes me feel good. I get paid on Thursday (thank goodness, I haven't had a paycheck for 3 weeks and I only have $87.00 in my bank account.....and that doesn't include the $20-some dollars I just put on my credit card!!) In June I can get sick and not have to pay anything. I don't even have a deductible for my insurance. Ah, yes! Life is good.

Today they left me alone to close the office. They must trust me, but whatever. So, I decided to look at April's blog to see if she has any updates. Then I clicked to my page and then I went down the line and checked other blogs. To my HORROR, when I clicked on "Girls that eat pizza" a porn site showed up. Ummm, apparently I should take that link off my site. Now the government knows I went to a porn site from my work computer. I trembled in fear.

Well, Nathaniel graduated from college. He's really proud. He keeps telling my mom, "See, now all of your kids have gone to college." I'm really proud of him as well. HB (Kayla's psycho mother) wants to know where he's getting a job so that she can garnish his wages even more for her own personal use, using the cover that it's for Kayla's child support. So, the first thing out of Kayla's mouth when she got in the car on Friday was, "So, does dad have a job yet?" Mom and I were instantly aware of where that question came from. So (and this is why I love my mother to death) she told Kayla, "Yep! He's going to work at McDonalds." So over the weekend, Nathaniel would ask Kayla, "do you want fries with that?" pretending to be practicing for his job.

Ha!

This memorial day weekend marks the year anniversary of Missy leaving Nathaniel. I can't believe it's been a year. Time sure does fly!

I'm dog sitting for the next 2 weeks (but not on the weekends). A friend of mine is going out West (and I'm super jealous!) So I get to stay in town, sleep in, and pretend that I'm grown up and living on my own. I guess this means I get to jump on the bed??!

Well, maybe now I'll keep up with my blogging. Or maybe not. Hopefully something newsworthy will happen, and then I can get all bloggity about it!

Adios!

Well, dear readers, and by readers I mean April, yes, it is FINALLY my last day at the title company. I never would have thought I would ever leave here and now I am so ready to go.

They have screwed me out of my 2 weeks of vacation I have left. (If I had know that, I would have taken the last 2 weeks off instead of working my ass off.) So, I think I may leave early (since no one is here anyway....what kind of shitty sendoff is that??)

Although, yesterday they did take me out to lunch and everyone had signed a card for me. Meh. Doesn't make up for the thousand dollars I'm owed, but whatever.

I will miss being really good at my job. But, I think that I'll be o.k. at the new one. And if not, I can always quit and run and hide at Kristen's new house.....but I'll have to wait to quit until after the 18th.

It's funny that I've been here for over 5½ YEARS. YEARS, people!! I can remember my first day here. I walked in hoping to get a job because I didn't have any other leads. I was wearing my favorite light purple button down dress shirt with black pants (which are still hanging in my closet, and I'm hoping someday they'll fit again.....as I'm eating a donut!) That first day she had me start working. I sat down and started typing abstracts. Then, in the blink of an eye, it's today and I know how to do everything in the office and I can't believe it's been five years. *sigh*

Now I'll feel like a grown-up, I think. With a real-live job that I got on my own, with benefits, and the union. Maybe I'll get myself an apartment, too.

Well, now that I will be working with other people, I'll probably not have the privacy to blog a lot, so it will be off to the public library to blog about my new adventures.

I'm kind of sad today, leaving this behind. And what makes it all the more sad is that no one cares. No one has called, no one is here. I'm all by myself. Which is kind of poetic, really.
