So much for blogging right away!!

Who know you could not be in school and yet be so busy!!!!

In other news, Ein's cast was removed today!!

See more pics of him and his frap on his tumblr: http://einthecorgi.tumblr.com

^_^ Good times!!


I think my girlie Meghan might come over today!!! I left my phone outside, I better go and get it. Bye!

Does it feel like this blog died?

Well it shouldn't!

I have been keeping delightfully busy.

Did I tell you Ein broke his leg? I Can't remember. Anyway, this cone gave him a nasty hot spot on his neck because he would play in his water dish and get the water all inside the cone and it would just pool there under his chin.

Also he got neutered.

Now he is wearing an inflatable cone. He doesn't really like me taking his picture lately because he would much rather get all snuggly in my face. But I did manage to get one. :)

Anyway, I also recently got a job. I work at Walmart in the deli. Come ask me to slice you some meat, or cheese... or get you some popcorn chicken. :)

You know, it occurred to me today that there aren't a lot of people my age who actually go to the deli. Did you know you can pick out a block of cheese just over in the cheese department, or a chub of meat, and you can bring it to the deli of the grocery store and say, "I want this sliced, please," and give them special instructions on how thick you want it and everything? They will do it. Free. They just put the label from the package in/on the bag after they slice it for ya and you take it to the register.

Sweet.


I didn't know that. I knew they'd cut you some meat that they have in the deli case, but I didn't know that they'd do the other stuff too. I guess that's a pretty universal deli thing.

Anyway, I also make salads and sandwiches. They are the "made fresh today" stuff from the cold shelves.

And I will soon learn to cook rotisserie chicken, fried rice, orange chicken, mashed potatoes, popcorn shrimp.... etc.

I've been learning a lot about Sam Walton and about Walmart since I work there now. I actually really like what I am learning. Granted, of course there are employees who have bad experiences, and customers... but that's all over the world. The fact that what they aim for is really great, that makes me happy.

And they are really really strict on taking your 15 minute breaks and your lunch breaks. Which is refreshing, because I heard talk that this wasn't the case. However, if you work longer than 5 hours without taking a lunch break, there are consequences.

Plus there are lots of ways to move around within the company.

So I am new at the store, I get that. I will probably get a little frustrated eventually, particularly with hair nets and stuff, but I haven't heard hardly any complaints from any employees, and every single manager has been nice to me so far. Sweet!

I have also heard a lot of bad things about their code of ethics. To me it sounds wonderful. We will see if it works if I ever am in need of it.

I'll have to finish this blog another day. I want to talk about my awesome grad party, and our trips shooting, and maybe even my birthday.. but I abandoned this blog post and just came back to it and it is 2:40 and I gotta get up in the a.m.

Night!

I'm Done!

I'm done!! And it feels GREAT!

A Dream Come True

Yep. A dream come true... that's the title to this blog.

Today, I got my graduation present, and this is quite honestly the very first picture I took with it:

I still have the first picture I took with my d40x... and now here I am with my new d7000, the camera I have been drooling over for years.

So I need to get some practice in, but I am the most excited I have been probably ever. I am graduating, surrounded by people I love and who love me, and I have the camera of my dreams!!

And the icing on the cake:

Les and I are getting married in September!!!

Now all I need is to get a job and move out of my parents place! :) Haha I say that like its simple. Hmm... let's make it simple!!

<3 <3 <3 A dream is a wish your heart makes, and dreams can come true. So dream, and wish, that Les and I are able to find some good solid income sources and get our family (us and our pets) a nice house before our wedding!! We can make it happen, I know it!!

A Deep Breath - finishing school.

I am about to write my final college assignment. At least, my final one for now. I am not saying I'm never going back to school, but it will be a while... like... probably years and years.

Seventeen years of school, and it all leads up to this.


I might cry. The only people who come close to feeling what a big deal this is to me might be my parents. Yes, other people graduate, and everyone in theory feels this emotion... but I feel that it is probably different for everyone, if only slightly. From now on,  pretty much everything I write will go to either a publisher, a blog, client, associate, or boss. Teacher, professor... crossed off the list. I can write my novel!! I can open my studio!! I can work and support my fiance!!
I can get married!

A deep breath. I need to take a deep breath, and write this last paper.. and then, I need to celebrate!!!!

I am glad to have some followers on my blog. I have been writing these things since I was around 15, and I have never felt more supported. Please check a box, and leave me a comment so I know you are still around, and you still read me loud and clear! These blogs are bound to continue to be fun, and possibly get funner.*


*(History proves that the more the public uses a word, the more likely it is to make it in the dictionary eventually.... let's keep using "funner" because I like it. K thanks.)
