I don't have a lot of time, so I am going to try to sum things up real quick.
-I had my first frustration at work today. Can you believe this is my third week and I just now had my first irritation!! :)
-Ryan got his car back today! Hooray! It rides so great and I can ride with him now since we got the seat belt fixed! Anybody want to buy a bike? Now that his car is done he really is going to have to work to get the motorcycle sold.
-I am feeling much better. Officially over the gunk, not I am just coughing it all up! I get to keep on drinking the "pink goddess." Sue knows what that is!
- Our cat is driving us crazy! She is in heat AGAIN and this time it is soo much worse and so irritating. Any time Ryan says something, she starts pattting her back legs and doing her purr/call/horny noise. She only does it for me sometimes. I can't figure out if she knows Ryan is the male of the house or if it is because when she first went into heat he would rubb her above the butt just to see her kick her legs more.
-Ryan and I decided to explore this area more and took a trip to Ruidoso, New Mexico Friday. It was fun for us just to get out for a while, and see some really great scenery. I will have to post a few pictures a little later.
That is all I will put for now. I need to finish laundry(since I hadn't done ANY for over two weeks when I got sick) and then cook something for us to eat. Have a great week!

Sick
I guess with everything that has happened in the past week it is expected that I am sick. Not flu-like sick, but more like irritating huge blisters in my throat are making me feel miserable. Right now I am blaming it on the weather since it is cold and rainy. The weathermen have predicted snow the past two nights but instead we had just an ice/thunder/rain storm last night. We haven't had rain here in a while so it was pretty cool going to sleep to thunder and lightning. There is another chance of snow tonight so I guess I will just haev to wait and see.
How was your Valentine's Day? Ryan and I had a pretty good one. I checked the mail in the afternoon and we had several valentine cards to open that made the day that much more fun. We opened them all together and loved the picture of the boys(on our frig now). I also had an extra special card from Aunt Shirley-congratulations on my new job. Thank you so much. It meant a lot to me to receive that card!
We have been engaged for one year now and lucky for me my engagement ring was at the store getting fixed for our anniversary! They tightened a side diamond about six months ago, but in the process of fixing it, made it stick out even more and has been catching on things. Needless to say, it was loose again and I told them they had to send it in this time that I would not allow them just to tighten it and still have it catching. I got it back today and it looks great! Ryan bought me some flowers for Valentine's and a giftcard to Starbucks. Since I was so preoccupied with getting internship apps. mailed out, I didn't get him anything. Still looking...
Good news...My internship applications are out and distrubuted! Hooray! Ryan mailed them for me on Monday. That was a HUGE weight off of my shoulders. I have a lot of homework assginments that are still keeping me busy, but having the apps. gone is one less thing to worry about. Now it is all up to them to determine if I am good enough for their program.
Incase you have not heard, Ryan and I "adopted" a kitten. She has been running aroung our neighborhood for several weeks and sittingin our windows early in the morning so I have seen her plenty. I think she had owners, but she had no collar, almost got hit a couple fo times because she was allowed to just run around the streets, and they were not feeding her. She was just bones when we took her in. Honestly, I don't even think they care that she is gone. We have not had anyone knocking on the doors looking for her or missing posters hung by the mailboxes. So I think it was better for both parties! As far as I know, when Allison moves up here in May, Scarlett will be her cat. Scarlett won't make the long trip home to Houston with us.
She is really cute though and looks just like our old cat Jaz. Of course, I KNOW this one is a girl. {For those of you who don't know, I picked out Jaz from a friend of mine, thinking it was a girl because it had nipples(I was in elementary school still). I named the kitten Jasmine but then after a couple of months we realized it was a boy and had to start calling HIM Jaz. } Apparently Scarlett isn't as young as we thought and about a week after we took her in, she started doing this weird cry/calling, rubbing her butt onto things and doing a pedal like motion with her legs when you would pet her above the tail. So, one night Ryan and I are playing with her and when he picks her up, I see a bubble on her female area!!! I guess when I was younger I didn't know what the cats were doing, but after looking some information up on the internet, I have no doubt...Bobbie WAS in heat(an old cat), Scarlett was going through the same thing and I was such a sheltered child!! :) Ryan and I laughed for a while about it because he never had had a cat so he didn't know what was going on either. Scarlett has since stopped all the crazy behavior and is a sweet, and usually pretty obediant cat.
Work has been great. I actually come home in a good mood, want to do some homework, will cook supper and then relax! I am actually counseling clients on my own now and loving it. This job has a lot more down time that I am not used to, but am easily finding ways to occupy the time and enjoy if for what it is.
Back to the homework for me. I am trying to finish a big project I have this week, finish three outlines for the whole week and then catch up with my correspondence course. Wish me luck that my throat doesn't keep me away from all fo this!

Things are falling into place.....
This has been a really crazy week for me. Just to name a few things, MNT case study due, MNT exam, lots of assignments in other classes, LAST day at UMC, and first day at WIC and internship applications being stuffed. I can already feel a weight lifted off of my shoulders! This next week ins't going to be a picnic because I have to work on major projects that are due the following week; however I also know when I have to work and I know I will not be called in on my days off. Plus my house needs some attention. I have only washed the clothes that I need, not everything that is in the hamper, so catching up to do there. Ryan has finals this week in his classes so he is busy working on those, plus putting his car together. I never did write about that. This week he was doing routine maintenance on his car such as changing hoses, fluids and changing the oil. It was a lot of fun to me to see him outside working in the garage on his car, since I grew up with this image all the time! It made me think of Dad, Billy, Grandpa and John working on putting a new engine in John's little S10 and cussing all the way through it. Anyway, along the way of doing routine maintenance stuff, something happened. Who knows what it was, but the little tick Ryan had heard before turned into more of a knock. Needless to say, he is looking at replacing his engine. I don't think Ryan will ever want to get rid of his car; he really does love it. Actually last week, before he started all the work, he took his car onto the Tech campus and took some pictures of it. Sounds like it is his baby right? So, we will see how everything goes with that. Once his car is in the shop, I am sure we will share a car for a while. That is fine with me though...I think it is sweet when he drives me to class! :) I guess it is back to finishing applications, starting on more homework and starting some laundry. Have a good Sunday!
