I need to find more to do with my free time.  I've got the Jewish holiday's coming up and I'll be spending most of the weekend helping my mom cook.  But now that I'm done with school and have a boring job that I leave at the office, I don't know what to do with myself.  The dog walking is awesome.  I've been wanting to put my poetry to music, except I don't know any instruments, so there a crimp in my plan... Oh well...  I have been wanting to learn how to play the guitar and take some singing lessons to test my vocal pipes.  I used to sing in plays and choir in HS but it's been almost 20 years, so only my car & hubby get the full vocal.  I've done a few Karaoke’s and actually have total strangers pull me aside and tell me how great I am, even ask me to sing duets with them.  So I think I've got the chops for it, I just might need to get a professionals point of view.  Not that I'm looking to sing professionally, I just want to sing with the guitar songs that I write.  I’m having problems finding someone.

I got bit by a spider in my own home.  I walked into the laundry room and I saw something swinging in front of my face.  I kept hitting at the air and my head and finally I felt something go down my shirt...yes my shirt!  I got bit on the boob!  What a day and now I'm itching all over!!  I know nothing is there...but it just itches!

 

I've been reading a lot; I need to start getting my books at the library.  I have nothing to do with the books when I'm done.  I've gotten hooked on reading the Harry Potter books, normally I don't read books that I see in the movies.  I just need to read Year 6, but I refuse to pay $20+ for a book, so either I'll get it at the library or wait for paperback.  See how exciting it is to be me?!?

 

TV is awesome again!  I am so loving Lost!  Bones is kickin but! I just love watching everything I’ve been TiVOing everything I can!

My new job is ... well... only so-so.  It's been busy and I've been learning about gov't "stuff" so I can try to talk the talk.  But so far, I'm not too excited about it.   It has been interesting being inside DHS during Katrina.  A group from my team is down there now and they are sleeping in their car’s on buses, or on a cot somewhere.  It was frustrating at first because FEMA wouldn’t let them in and they had to wait around until the Pres reamed someone’s ass to get them to allow DHS down there.  It was hard to watch the news knowing that we wanted to help and having trouble because FEMA was holding our people out.  It was pretty cool being the person that wrote the letter to FEMA telling them the Pres says stay out of our way.  So my job can be fun, but it does suck being in the admin world again, do more admin that managing.  But they are paying big bucks to do this…who am I to complain…really?!

The animals at the Humane Society were so great today.  They just wanted to play and lick me the whole time.  Normally it’s just them wanting to piddle & poop and then just go back inside.  Today I had a pitbull licking my face.  They have such a bad rap.  We’ve had a few pitbulls here and every one of them have been sweet and friendly.  I know they have the ability to be bad if they are trained that way, but the ones I’ve met here have been the best! Today I got to play with 2 three month old puppies; a lab & a beagle.  And they also had a mini dachshund, so cute & sweet!! It was 3 y/o and some one gave it up, I really can never imagine giving up an animal.  The best part of this week was that Mocha was gone!  Mocha is a female pitbull that has been there for 5 weeks.  Most dogs are gone within a week or two at most.  I was getting worried he would start showing aggression because of being in a cage for so long but each week he was so sweet.  I would love to take home one of these little guys; I wish the hubby didn’t have such bad allergies. 

 

I got a job!!  I am too excited!! I waited it out and I finally got a job that is paying me more than I’ve ever made plus perks!  Too cool!  I don’t even know what to do with myself I’m so ecstatic over this.  I start in 3 weeks and I now have time to have some fun and start breathing again.  I really was starting to worry about getting a job.

 

To top it all off, the QVC Outlet in Rehoboth, DE is having a huge sale the week I’m at the beach – life is lookin’ up!  Now all I need is a good Coach Outlet sale while I’m at the beach and heaven will truly be knockin’ at my doors!

I have to start getting ready for an interview that I have in 1 ½ hours, but all I want to really do is sleep.  It’s over 100degree’s outside and I’m tired!  I could barely workout last night I was so tired.  PMS sucks, I wish my husband could just have one hour of my pain.  Can I take a nap now… OK so I can’t. 

 

My parents took us out for a really nice dinner Saturday and didn’t say anything to make me grind my teeth.  It was a really pleasant evening.  Then I spoke to my bro and he had lots to say about the folks and I just laughed.  I think they take turns with us.  So it was my turn to tell him, “That’s just the way they are, ignore them. You are right to feel this way.”  Boy am I glad I’m not the only one they pick on.

 

For those of you that don’t know, Bruce and I are trying to have a baby.  It’s been a year now, and we’ve started getting some tests to see if there are any problems.  Now I’m telling my parents that I’m nervous about becoming a parent.  And my brilliant mother responds, “Maybe you just shouldn’t be having any children then!”  The exclamation point is because she actually yells this at me.  Anyone want to trade?  I’ll totally pay you to take her!!!

 

Then I baby-sit my nieces, I have 4 & 7 year old nieces.  The 4 y/o has taken to throwing temper tantrums and yelling I hate you.  I go home and look for my old birth control pills...Do I really want to be mom!!??!!
