things are all happening pretty fast...
I leave for Vegas in 4 days. seriously, that will be the trip of a lifetime.
I'm slowly moving into my new place. my roommates are decent. the girlfriend of one said to another that they made a good choice when they picked me as their future roommate (this was of course said AFTER I brought the margarator over) I have so much to do before I'm fully settled there. ugh. I hate moving. Whatever - at least I wont be in this bullshit house anymore.
Liam will be visiting soon. Week long party? I think so.
I'm going to turn 25 in 13 days. I'm still pretty uncomfortable with it.

I've just been promoted as of an hour and a half ago.
I am no longer a peon. I am the analyst who assures quality from the other peons (which makes me a level two peon? maybe threeve?) :D HOORAY!

The past month has been pretty close to awesome.
I've started finalizing plans for my summer Alaskan vacation with Liam. We've been deciding what we're going to do or not do. So far, I'm not allowed on the "duck boat" (www.akduck.com) for some undisclosed reason, but I am going on one of those planes with the ski feet that can land on water and stuff and I'm going to find some bears if it kills me. I'm sure there are a ton more things I'll be doing, but the duckboat and ski plane seemed the most important to mention at the moment.
The one thing that kills me about Alaska is the bottom line cost of this vacation. Basically the town I'll be in is so remote that the Super 8 is over $100 a night and my flight alone will be $700+ with that being said, I plan on pricelining that shit. f paying $100 a night for super 8. hello! class before trash!
Work has been going swimmingly. I'm really happy, although I do complain about how stupid my job is all the time. I'm content with the money I make and the potential to move up within the company. I haven't felt like this about a job in a long time. It feels great!!
I've finally added two more people to myfaves (it only took me three months!). I now have four out of the allotted five people. I don't call anyone. I text people all day every day, so theres no need for myfaves. I'll be excited when I'm finally using my cellphone plan to its full potential.
Lucy graduated intermediate dog class. she's well behaved for the most part. we still haven';t mastered the art of having not give kisses to every single person or pet she meets... but we're working on it.
I've lost 21lbs. my goal is to lose another 25 by my birthday. very doable.

no one posts in journal anymore. I'd be fine with this if people posted some other way, like facebook or myspace, but they don't do that either.

Work really surprised me this past week. I got 2 hours off of work with pay, which to me was cool. I've never worked anywhere before where they give you time off without using your PTO and without it being an actual "holiday"
A new position of interest opened up. I discussed with my manager her thoughts on my applying for the position and she thinks I should go for it. I'd be salary. Making more money. but not getting anymore bonuses. I'd get more vacation time though.
I had a nice talk with my mom on my drive home from work this afternoon. For once she was on my side regarding issues with Nick and myself. She helped me realize that despite how asinine my opinions are, they are MY opinions and I still am entitled to them. We also discussed where I'd be in life had I made other choices with my life. We both came to the conclusion that once changed things are going to get better.
I got out of bed at 5:05am today to buy one thousand thread count sheets for $19. Best decision I've made all season.
My nephew likes to pull Lucy's tail straight. Too cute. He also runs around after he calling out "Rucy... Rucy come heeeeere!!" CUTE!!!
My oldest brother is moving to Alberta. bummer.
I'm sick. HATE IT!

I got a lot accomplished on Tuesday...
got a new battery for my car (can you believe I was still on the original battery after SIX years of owning that car?!?!)
got an oil change and air filter change
got new windshield wipers blades (these fuckers are bad ass. I paid like $30 for them, but maaaaaaan do they ever clean my windows nice!)
finally accepted that my hair isn't going to just up and be blonde anymore and that I actually DO like the color of my hair.
ok, I guess it wasn't A LOT. but screw off, okay.
We got our schedules for the week of thanksgiving yesterday. I get to work the weekend before (thank god not the weekend after) and someone goofed on the schedule and put me down for a PTO day the day before thanksgiving with my day off on tuesday (3 days off in a row?!?! EEEEEEE!!!)
Being the respectful employee I am, I thought it best to bring the minor mishap to management's attention stating "I didn't ask for Wednesday off, but I'll take it if you wanna give it to me!" I don't think I'm going to be fortunate enough to get to keep wednesday off. boo.
I bought a whole slew of new facial care products from this japanese company called DHC. So far, I hate the moisturizer I bought and plan on returning it along with the makeup remover. I also bought some dead sea shit that has been working quite well. Just in time for winter weather. I wont look washed out and gross.
Tomorrow I get to go to grand rapids (for the first time ever in life) and be a merch girl for the Docile Bodies.
Nick and I are getting "family photos" done at olan mills sometime soon. Probably within the next two weeks. Make sure you send us your addresses for christmas cards!!!

I'm so off today.
I fell down my back stairs, dropped the pug and cried because I thought I broke her.
I forgot to take any medicine (to help with my cold and other symptoms!)
I forgot my lunch in the fridge
ugh. I can't wait for tomorrow.

the lady who sits next to me at work keeps drawers to her file cabinet open all day long. this irritates me beyond belief. I think its a weird psychological thing, because its not in my way or anything.
I start the early shift the last week of this month! yay for getting out of work at 5:30 the latest!!!
Lucy's dino costume didn't fit. I think she's going to be a peacock instead...

So I came into work over an hour early today. I'm generally early every day, but I forgot that this week I am on a different shift. I actually remembered the moment I sat at my desk :(
This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving. HORRAY! I get to see my Nicole this weekend and my mom is deep frying a turkey on Saturday. My Dad isn't doing anything too special for it, he's too cool to do any real thanksgiving celebrating, therefore we're having mexican food. Boring! How unfestive.
Yesterday we had jambalaya and it was fantastic. Our roommate ate dinner with Nick and my family, it was too cute! We went to a huge corn maze on Saturday. I totally cheated and ran through the rows of corn and I was the first one out. AWESOME!
The puppy is doing very well. We go on a walk every morning around 7:30. its really nice.
I don't have much else to say. I was the Third quarter allstar at work which grants me a paperweight with my name engraved on it, dinner with the big bosses and a whole day off with pay to use when I so choose.
ok bye!

So I've been pretty really weird lately.
Tired. Having strange dreams.
I'm thinking it has been because I've been back on the internet (at home AND work) for a short while now and its consuming me
I am going to avoid the internet for some time.
Its going to be interesting to see who wont bother with me now that I wont be online. I'll still be on the aim and checking my email since those two things I rarely do.
I need a break from reality. anyone wanna take me out for cocktails on my dime?

this past week has been strange.
I almost moved out on Wednesday, but Nick and I worked it all out and things are back to normal.
Lucy was supposed to start doggie day care tomorrow, but the vet said she was too small for her bordatella vaccine therefore she can't attend school. So, I anticipate she'll be at school in three weeks! Speaking of the puppup, we brought her over to Nick's dad's last night. It was cute! They have a small dog (I can't think what kind) and for the first time, Lucy got to play with a dog while not being on a lead. She played very nice. Mocha would jump up on the couch when she had enough of Lucy which was equally as cute!
Yesterday I finally decided to get over it. I'm not 100% ready to forgive, but I'm sick of always feeling like its me when its really only the fact that I hold onto grudges way longer than any human should. Keep in mind, despite being ready to forgive, I have not forgotten. I doubt I will ever be at a good point again, because there are other people in my life who are much more important that I could potentially lose by resurrecting a friendship. Just know that I know I am a great person and I have a huge heart and I've finally decided to sew up my wounds on my own.
my hair is way too hot to handle.
I miss my brother, Rod, a lot. He's going to be in the UK until the end of the year and it makes me really sad! I hardly speak to him anymore
My phone is a total zombie! it came back from the dead yesterday. I didn't lose any numbers and I can text people again. YAYS!
We had a coldstone cake for Nick's birthday last night. Holy crap. I have never eaten something so rich (not as in expensive) in my life. It was totally worth it though! It was really nice of everyone to come out. It really meant a lot to me and to Nick. We still have some cake left if you want to come have a bite! The wii party finale was the best part though!
nothing more to say really. I work this whole weekend which stinks, but the following weekend will be lots of fun and time to relax again!

last night I realized how much bigger Lucy is compared to three weeks ago.
it kinda made me sad. she's growing so quickly!!
with that being said, we are buying her doggysteps on Sunday so she can get on and off the bed as she pleases. She's not the best at climbing stairs yet, but I'm sure this will help her learn.
She should be in doggy daycare by Nick's birthday. aww.
