6:50PM - update

Not so bad afterall! Work wasn't too crazy and I got caught up, which is always good.

Great news...Jasmine got adopted! also there was this cat with 3 legs and was so sweet and the cat was gone too!

I am not as tired as I thought I would be. I am prolly still gonna try and go to sleep early though...

7:32AM - LONG DAY!!!

I can already tell today is going to be a LONG DAY! I stayed up till my normal time last night(11:30pm) and had to get up at 5:30am cause today is my early day at work. So that is 6 hours and I need my 8! Then when I get out at 3:15 today I am going straight to the humane society to volunteer for a few hours...so that will be walking/running with some dogs..I'll be sure to get the little ones, so they dont' kill me! I'm sure by the time I am done with that, I will be ready to go straight home to sleep!

I'm really just not looking forward to today! I have a feeling it is gonna be worse than yesterday!

It was so wierd this morning...I never have trouble eating breakfast in the morning...bring it on...but today my crackheaded boyfriend(yes, I love him, that's his pet name) decided he wanted to have a pot pie of all things for BREAKFAST! So I wake up at 5:30 to the smell of that overwhelming the apartment! Oh I felt like I was having some damn morning sickness! After I got out the house, I felt better, so I stopped at Panera and picked up my favorite...Chai Tea Latte and a Tripple Berry muffin! Now I'm great! Look out rest of the day!

Current mood: exhausted

3:53PM - volunteering

Today was my first real day of voluntering. It was quite strange. When I got there, I checked in and everything, well they told me to go to the volunteer coordinators office, so I did and she wasn't there today. There were a few other girls there at the same time and it was also the first time for them. We were given absolutely no direction. Just kinda thrown in, they didn't tell us squat! So I just started walking the dogs. It was great. I was there for 4 hours, but it went by so fast! I walked about 6 or 7 dogs, I think...I fell in love with 2 of them - Autumn is a 9 mo old spaniel mix and Jasmine is a 3 year old beagle. They were both so sweet! They were very well behaved when I walked them and not all trying to pull me along...They were more interested in getting some attention! I miss them already! The good news is that Autumn has already been adopted! I swear if someone doesn't take Jas I would love to! I just don't know how my spoiled-ass cat would react.

I used my icecream maker for the first time and made some strawberry frozen yogurt...it is so good and it only took like 25 minutes! and the best part....only 150 calories/cup! I used lowfat vanilla yogurt, skim milk, and splenda and then just some chopped up strawberries...YUMMY!

Current mood: happy

Gage's birthday party was cool. He just turned 4 and he talks so grown up! I can't wait for Nina to have her baby and it BETTER be a girl!

This week has been good so far. Flyin by, so that is always wonderful! - Not that I have anything really to look forward to. This weekend I have to go to the training at the Humane Society and then Sarah's bachelorette party on Saturday night.

For the most part, nothing new..same ol', same ol'!

1:32PM - My 25th Birthday Weekend

So all in all my birthday weekend went well. On my actual birthday it was great with the exception of one argument/crying spell with Mike, but it all worked out ok in the end. He took me out to Red Lobster and then for icecream, then we just chilled since I had to get up early on Saturday to leave for Midland.

Saturday I got my hair chopped - I do like it..But I always hate when I first get my hair cut in a different style cause you kinda gotta get used to how to style it. It seems to be pretty versitile because I can style quite a few different ways, so that is real cool. Then later Saturday evening we had a BBQ out at the farm and then a bonfire with the family...Always fun! Then came home and played this interactive movie trivia game with my parents and Derek. That game was pretty fun!

Then today my parents took me out to this Japenese steakhouse(the one where they cook on the hibachi grill right in front of you) that just opened in Midland. The food was good, but the cook we had was kinda boring, he didn't mess with us at all. Now I'm about to go over to Joe and Nina's for Gage's Birthday party, so that should be fun also.

So overall I had a very busy and fun Birthday weekend, I would go so far as to say that it was probably one of the best. I felt so loved! With all the eating I did, I prolly gained 10 pounds!

Current mood: loved

9:06PM - Awww!!!

So today was my orientation to voluteer at the humane society. I really want to do it, I am so excited! The only thing is it is gonna be so hard to see all the cute animals and not be able to take em all home! I was ooohin and awwwin over them!

The next step is based on what area you want to volunteer in, you have to take a couple training courses they offer. So I decided that I want to do "Get Fit with Fido." It is where you take the dogs for walks. I originally wanted to do the cats because I think I am really more of a cat person, but when you care for the cats, you feed them and water them, and clean the litter, but you can't pick the cats up! You can play with them and pet em, but I think it would kill me to not be able to actually pick em up!

So I signed up to take Dog 1 on April 23. Then at some point I have to take Dog 2 and then I will be able to actually start the volunteering part. I may actually take the cat classes also, so I can do both.

Current mood: excited to start volunteering!

8:19PM - Today was a good day!

Today all-in-all wasn't too bad. Work was a little crazy at times, but at least there were a couple slow moments during the day to catch my breath. Can't complain! :)

I came home and Mike and I went for a nice walk. It was actually nice here today - up to like 80! It inspired me to work on my tan, so I went tanning right after work and got a little brown.

Now I'm just finishing up some grilling and it's bout to me time to chow! BBQ chicken on a bed of rice! How's that for some gormet cooking! I don't mean to brag, but I'm good, I'm DAMN good!

Current mood: cheerful

8:52PM - What a day!

Current mood: chillin

5:39PM - MmmmMmmmMmmmm

I finally got around to buying some propane for my new grill. So today will be the first grilled food of the year for me! Yummy! I love it! In about 15 minutes it will be time to chow! I made some BBQ chicken, and some vegatable packets(potatoes, onions, celery, carrots, with some butter and salt and pepper) then when they are done - add some cheese! Mmmm, I can't wait!

Current mood: hungry

6:49PM - Easter Dinner

So I was a little sad to be away from the family for the Holiday, but I did cook a very delicious dinner! It was off the hook - A Sprial honey ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, baked beads(now those were all for Mike), dinner rolls, fruit salad, and banana pudding for dessert! Needless to say we have a ton of leftovers!!! After dinner I cleaned up the house a little bit and then I called over to my Grandma's and talked to everyone and of course they all missed me!!! :) I will be going home in a few weeks though and then I will get to see everyone!

Tonight we are suppose to watch "Saw."

I can't believe this weekend went by so quick! I think that I would prefer to work 4- 10 hr days a week and then get a 3 day weekend! I'll have to see what the goverment thinks about making that the standard!!!

Current mood: Proud of my bomb-ass dinner!

7:00PM - Feelin good, feelin great, feelin great, feelin good. How are you?

I am happy to finally be done with work. I was on phones today and it was a bit crazy! I guess I really can't complain too much...It did make the day fly by. Then my baby got me the Easter Lilly that I wanted and took me out for dinner..so sweet(when he wants to be).

I just decided today that I am not going home for Easter. I feel kinda guilty, but really with gas as expensive as it is I was just home. I will be sad cause it will be my first holiday not spent with the family. I think Mike and I will go to Church and then pick up some Boston Market. On the other hand, it will be the first holiday that Mike and I spent together(always look at the positive side, right?) cause I always go home and he stays here. My mom seemed to understand though, but she said I wasn't getting an Easter Basket this year(I know...I am 25 and still get an Easter Basket)!

10:28AM - TGIF

So I managed to keep my positive attitude! I am so proud of myself!!! Initially I walked in and wanted to scream, but it only lasted a couple minutes, got a little bit of venting out of the way and have been fine since! And not to mention, I as of yesterday afternoon, I am caught up!

Now I need this weekend!

Current mood: accomplished

12:44PM - I'm back....

So I had to come back from ATL(Although part of me didn't want to). It was a lot of fun. We just kinda hung out - low key. I discovered Dave and Busters and Chipoltes...both I wish we had back in Grand Rapids, but oh well. Just a couple more reasons to go back to visit Courtney! The weather was so nice. There was the whole drama with Brian Nichols, but it was all right...they finally caught him! I was expecting to come back to work and have everything be cool...NOPE! I came back to a mess! Nobody did my job while I was gone, so of course I have so much crap to do! I am gonna try and not be negative about it and get in a pissy mood! I tend to do that sometimes and I'm trying to stop. Not really a resolution, but always trying to better myself! :)

On another note, Mike has been being so super-sweet! I think maybe he missed me! I love that man! I'm wondering how long the sweetness is gonna last though!

Current mood: optimistic
