Man where do I start!? I have been crazy busy between work and school so far. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I will have to go straight from class to work..literally. My class is over at 3:20 and I am technically late to work at 3:30. My boss should understand that it is impossible to get there in time though and should not count me late. My classes are good though. Biochem is kinda scary, but I think I might like it. One of my classes requires a lab, but not just ny lab...I have to work at the Tech restaurant doing all the prep work. Since I have done that kind of stuff before, I really don't think I will mind doing the work, just the early morning time.

Raider's girlfriend from the apartments is coming over on Sunday to see him. I ran into my friend from the apartments and she was all excited about bringing her dog over. Apparently her dog, Lady, never plays with other dogs, just Raider and it is a really cute flirt-play! I am super excited about this weekend because I am off. Ryan and I will be going to the football game and then getting more supplies we have to have for school. Anyway, I need to go to bed.

Quick Catch up!

Not too much new around here. Friday Ryan had fun taking care of me and Mom and Sue got a call from me! I smashed my finger at work and I couldn't get it to stop throbbing still six hours after I did it!! Ouch! Luckily, I don't think I will have to have it drained, buddy wrapping it was just enough to get through it all.

School starts tomorrow. Ryan is already asleep and I will be heading there soon. I have class from ten til twelve. Not bad at all. Plus I am off tomorrow, so that gives me some time to get a parking permit and look into my books that I need.

Here is a quick pic of the new Wal Mart. I am really impressed. It does not look like all the other ones I have seen!

New Job!

It looks like all that working in the morning and putting up with silly stuff at work is paying off! My boss asked me Thursday, (but we actually discussed it today) if I would like to be a supervisor!! Woo hoo!! It doesn't sound all that great, but I will be staying downstairs the whole time I am at work, taking temps., loading the carts, etc etc. Basicly I will be the one in charge at night when all the managers are gone! There are perks to it and pitfalls, but right now I am just honored taht he asked me. I will start out as a back up if someone gets sick or the other three supers are gone. Then eventually just be supervising and not delivering trays at all. It is another step up and it will look really great on my application for internships and for jobs.

Just like everyone else's posts, I am pretty tired. Ryan and I decided along with a new school year, we would start new habbits. After work tonight we went jogging. Plus, we are making better plans for cooking and snacks during the year! Healthier lifestyles. Kinda like a New Year's resolutin with a new school year. So, I think I will follow in Amanda's footsteps and just post a couple of pics.



This is a picture from the wedding yesturday. Ryan looked awesome in his suit! Everyone thought I made him wear it, but the truth is that he picked it out. I just helped pick out the tie!!



He is a picture of my new additions in my room. I now have art above my bed and then new curtains! My room is soo much cooler during the day now.



Another project finished. Now I have to buy some more crystal to put in them! ;)

Saturday Smash

Wow today was an exhausting day! I thought Tuesday and Wednesday were, but I was really wrong. Satruday started with me waking up at four forty five to go to work. I vowed taht I would not work anymore mornings because I am so tried afterwards,but I wanted to be off in the afternoon for Brandi's wedding. Anyway, work was never ending! I think I had to walk up to my floors at least five extra times ontop of the five other times I went up. My legs hurt so bad and I just wanted to pass out! Onve I got home at three in the afternoon though, I showered, got dressed and we were off again! Ususally after working a morning I take a long afternoon nap so my body was really hating me last night when I didn't. The wedding was so much fun! No one was realy dancing so all the girls from work were dancing the whole time in an effort to get everyone else dancing. It didn't work! At least we all had a good time plus while I was on the dancefloor I didn't feel how bad my legs hurt! As soon as we got home at nine thirty, I ate something quick and layed down to relax. However I didn't plan on falling asleep at ten and laying threre-lifeless- until two in the morning! Ryan said he gave me a kiss, Raider jumped on the couch a couple of times, and he was even barking at one point! I didn't hear one peep! Apparently my body was too exhausting for anything else!! It was all so worth it though. I hope you all had a great Saturday.

Lots to catch up on!

It has been an exhausting past two days! I stayed up late (about three!) on Monday night to make sure I had everything ready for Tuesday's re-bachelorette party that I was hosting. Jordan and I spent all morning Monday shopping for a red KitchenAid mixer that was not an Artisan. Then we both had to work. So, on Tuesday she baked cakes, I cleaned some and then went to work again. Tuesday night was so much fun too! What I didn't have time to clean-Ryan cleaned! It was amazing to come home to such a clean house! He had moped, vacuumed, cleaned the bathrooms, kitchen sink and counters and then lite(how do you spell that?) some candles so it was fresh and homey feeling. Fantastic!!! After work we all went to eat at Rosa's and gave Brandi her gifts, which she was soo excited about, then came over here to party. I had fun and I think everyone else did too. I got to be the bartender all night long then once we were drunk, we played twister. One friend did get sick, but we all took care of her. So Tuesday night I went to sleep about 4:00am!! Yikes. It was a good thing I was off Wednesday becuase I slept in until eleven. Meagan came to wake me up and tell me when she left in the morning, but her nor three other girls could wake me! ;)

Ryan and I met some of our neighbors last night. It is a family of five I think and they have a little boy that is about three. He came over to pet the dogs and we got to meet the whole clan. Their names were really weird though so I don't remember them yet. Anyway, the three year old was hugging on my legs and then when I picked him up he gave me the sweetest hug!! It really made me miss Garrett and Lance's hugs and kisses! The husband and wife were real sweet too. I am so glad that we have nice neighbors that are not college kids throwing parties everynight!!

Oh and wouldn't you know that as soon as we move from the apartments, construction is finally ending! Ryan lived there for two years while everything around him was being built and now they are really close to finishing it all. They finished the Wal-Mart that is just about half a mile from where we were before. It is super nice too! I will post a picture once I get one because it is so different from all the other ones I have seen. There is also a new Chili's restaurant about two blocks from our old place now too!! I am so jealous! Now Jordan is really close to all of that and not me. :(

Busy Busy

I went to my first bachelorette party all by myself on Saturday night! What is funny is that mom called me to check on me and I didn't answer since I was at the party. Then Sunday when I did talk to her she said she was calling becuase her and Dad were worried about their "Little Girl" since they hadn't heard from me all week. hehe There little girl was at a party and playing nasty games! I thought it was ironic that she had to call me at that time! OH and it was the cutest thing when I got home from the party at about three, Ryan was waiting up for me. He said he missed me. :(

The party was fun. It was kinda odd too. SOme of the brides' friends are out going and then some are really shy and sheltered. So, the party was kinda separated. All the girls from work decided it was not the kind of party that we wanted to her basicly. Here was the whole layout-Dinner at 7:00, Lingerie Party at 8:30(drinks, games, presents), Limo at 11:00, clubbing the rest of the time. It was pretty long, then there was only 2 people that were 21 and the bride was not one! So going out wasn't too great and we ended up riding in the limo for several hours-kinda bored!
Anyway, my point is that we are throwing her another party. Not really a bachelorette party, but just a stay at home, drink and play games party. I am super excited because we are all coming over to my house! Guests!! I already told everyone to bring their blankets and plan on staying here. Before we come over here, we are going to eat at Rosa's and give her her gift we all got her. Jordan and I spent all morning looking for a red kitchenaid mixer( the cheapest one). We could not find one anywhere!! So I found a red Sunbeam standing mixer instead. Tomorrow is going to be a lot of fun!

Worst Haircut Ever!

Ryan and I gave Raider and Star haircuts yesturday. As you can see by the picture, Raider's looks good, but Ryan wacked at Star a little too much! Her hair is soooo short on the sides that you can actually see her skin! I thought about taking her to a groomer and get it fixed, but I am not sure they could fix it.

Raider and I have a nightly ritual now-hide and seek. It is so funny, and he knows when we are about to go to bed, that it is time to play his game. I tell him to sit and stay, then I go hide. When I say come find me, he runs from my room to Ryan's room looking. It is hilarious! Ryan tried to hide last night for him, but Raider was confused and was jumping at me like," I found you I found you!"

We got a lot done again on my day off yesturday. Ryan turned in his keys at the apartment, we got my oil changed and his car inspected, cut the dogs' hair, then I cooked supper. Man I love my days off!!

Super excited!

I got my first invitation to a real bachelorette party today in the mail!! Not that Sue's wasn't real, but this is one that I am going to because it is a friend and all. Anyway, I am really excited!! I have to work Satruday night though so I won't be able to go to the eating out part of the party. I will be able to meet up with them at the Lingerie party and then to hop in the limo and go out clubbing with the girls! Yeah! Brandi, the bachelorette, was trying to find someone to work for me on Saturday though because she wants me there for the whole thing. So, I will see what happens.

Ryan took me out to the movies tonight. We saw Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. It was really funny, however the beginning was a little ruined by the commercials. They showed a lot of the funny stuff in the commercials from the beginning of the movie and there wasn't any more funny stuff. I still liked the movie though and Ryan did too. I wish that he would have had his racing outfit here. I dared him to wear it to the movies and I am sure he would have!

I have the next two days off and hopefully I can get a lot of stuff done. I have to get my oil changed really bad!! Ryan has been on my tail about it. Oh and he has to get his car inspected and then clean the apartment and turn in his keys.

After reading Sue's blog it made me think.....the drivers here have been terrible too! I thought it was just because of tax free weekend, but it is continuing! Seriously, at one point I was thinking these drivers were worse than College Station drivers. And you all know that I really hate those drivers! So Sue, I can sympathize with your shooting the finger. I gave a couple of dirty looks over the past couple of days.

Finally...sleep!

So after my long day yesturday at work, I did have to work this morning again. Really it wasn't bad, just bad waking up so early. The only reason I got upset today was becuase the normal morning crew was taking advantage of my sweetness. I had to take up a lot of late trays when I really shouldn't have had to. Anyway, I almost stayed all night too. The night supervisor came in and was really sick. I am not a supervisor, so I couldn't offer to work for her, but I was going to stay and take care of her. They had plenty of people at night to help take care of her so I made it home. Hopefully they won't ask me to work another morning again! or at least for a long time.

Everything else the same. Star is being really stubborn again. Raider and Star took off running when we let them out earlier. When we were yelling at them to come back and stop, Star just ran underneath a car and wouldn't come out. So now we are taking them out on leashes. Star has to be re-leash trained so until she gets used to it, she isn't really listening or going to the bathroom. Ryan thinks I just don't like Star, but I think it is the stubborness in her that fights with the stubborness in me that I dislike sometimes.

back from the Grave

When Ryan and I moved his fishtank, we started with four fish moving. However, when we got to the house, we only had one left taht we put back in the tank. So after buying a new castle for him, we dropped him in and we never saw that one fish again. That is until tonight! Somehow the fish was hiding in the castle for over two months without us ever seeing him! We thought he had died and the filter caught the remains from him! So now he has a new name..Willy The Fish. The initials WTF becuase that is what we were thinking when we saw him again!!!

Middle night surprise

My big news from me. I am still in my slump at work. No matter how optimistic I am about going to work lately, I always come out pissed off or just irritated. Tonight it was that we didn't get out until nine o'clock, but I have to be back up there at six in the morning! Pat fired someone and now I get to fill in for her on Sunday and Monday morning until he can figure something out. grrrr. If I am irritated after just five hours at work...watch out after I am there for nine!! You all know I get the Robert attitude sometime!! I am still working on correcting that with Ryan's help.

In the middle of the night last night I had a big surprise. I woke up and I felt all wet. At first I thought I was dreaming it up, then I thought I was sweating, then maybe I drooled and finally...did I pee on myself?? Nope none of the above. I played with Raider for about an hour last night before we went to bed and he drank a lot! With him not being a puppy anymore, I didn't even think about taking him out again! Stupid me! I guess he was dreaming and drempt (is that a word?) he was outside on the grass! He was laying right next to me, so it went through the comforter, sheets, and mattress pad. Oh and on my clothes too! Huge puddle too! Needless to say, at two thirty in the morning I was changing sheets, clothes, and mattress pads! Yuck! Hopefully I remember next time!

I better get to bed. I have to be up and at work in less than eight hours!! Have a great night!

Nothing really new at our house. Raider is getting fat now that he is fixed. He actually is one pound heavier already. Star is learning a new trick..."speak". Raider already know it well and she is picking it up from him. Ryan has been building more stuff and coming up with even more ideas for things. I have been trying to keep the house clean, prepare for school, and work. Work is really exhausting me right now. I really like my job, but do you ever have those slumps where you really just are about ready to quit. The job is great, but it just sucks that the evening crew actually has plenty of people and they are stealing them from us to work in the morning who is short handed. Therefore, it makes the night that much harder for us becuase the morning doesn't do their job to the fullest anyway thus the night picks up the slack and the BS from the nurses that are actually mad at the morning crew. It sounds really stupid, but it is really getting to me lately. I WAS at a point where I did not mind going to work and actually enjoyed it because I got to meet new people. With all that bologna going on though I am in a slump and do not like my job right now. Does anyone else get to those points??

Anyway tonight was eventful on my floors due to a code blue. I was pretty scared, but tried not to show it. I was proud of myself though becuase I stayed out of the way and was still able to feed everyone I needed to and meet their needs. Later when I returned to the floor things had calmed down and the patient was ok too.
