Check on it

Since last time...
* I was involved in a hit and run. Some douche hit me at a light and then took off. Turns out he has no valid license or insurance. Figures!
* A bartender got fired so I in turn have been working a lot. So I missed Fiona's Birthday party. Sadness and Emily's Graduation Party.
*Summer classes started
* I discovered I pretty much suck at multi tasking
*Kurt left for Europe. Kaleb is at the kennel. The house is real lonely so when I home it's basically no fun.
*I re-discovered garage sales and how much I love them. Last week I got a slurpee maker. I rule
* My bunny couldn't be any cuter if she tried. She loves pizza and sunchips.

This is when she was a baby. She's a little bigger and a lot fatter now.

*I'm making new friends at work. I know the American Legion doesn't sound like a good place to make friends but it's working for me. Since my new found lack of girls that are friends. I have been hanging out with the other bartender, Nicki. Brijitte is also a new friend and she already feels like family. It's been good to be around girls again.


Aaron, Brijitte, Nicki, Pat hanging out in the Legion (I was working but it was still fun)


Coming soon......
*Wisconsin next week. I took off next thursday - Saturday. Aaron and I are going up to the cabin. My dad, step mom, Chrissy, and Matt are coming up. It should be a great time and it will be great to have a break from work. Not to mention Wisconsin Dells and Ho-Chunk Casino. Woo HOO
*Aaron offically moves in next month. Next step is telling my dad. I need to get on that but i'm a nervous.
*Working on budgeting my time better and hopefully getting a chance to hang out in Sheldon with family and seeing old friends that is if they still remember me. Also more time to see my grandma. I have gotten so wrapped up in work and finishing school and my boyfriend that I haven't had much time for anyone else.

So I pretty much suck a blogging now that I don't have a job that lets use the computer for hours upon hours. I'm going to try and blog more than once a month but honestly I just haven't had the time. That's not completely true I have had a few moments in between working 40-48 hours a week but I didn't want to spend it on the computer...I mostly spent it in bed. But on the bright side I am making lots of money. Even enough to start saving and investing kinda. I guess it's time for an update..I didn't graduate because I took yet another semester off but this is the last one I promise. Aaron is going to move into the house with me. I thought this is someting that would scare me to death but i'm super excited. We have such different schedules that we mostly just see each other the hours we are sleeping. He works 2nd shift and I work until 2 or 3 or 4 in the morning. The thing about him moving in is I am really nervous about telling my dad. My dad likes him and all but I still daddy's little girl. I still have a month or two to tell him about it we'll see how that goes. Not to much else has really been going on. Kurt and I were going to take "i didn't graduate" trip, but it's postponed until thanksgiving week. So far the winner is California. So that should be fun. I miss it there a lot and by November I will want to be somewhere a little warmer for a change. I'm going to Chicago tommorrow because it's my first weekend off in about 6 weeks. I need to see family and some friends. Oh and I am going to the boat with my grandma to gamble a bit that should be fun.

p.s. Matt was filming a new movie in New Orleans. http://www.solsticethemovie.com/ It looks kind of interesting hopefully it will make him more recognized. It's the same director as the blair witch project. Look for it when it comes out.

I just have time for a quick update before it's time for work. Aaron and I went to Myrtle Beach together and it was really great. Everyone kept saying that a vacation is a deal breaker and that we would probably end up hating each other, but nothing of the sort happened. The weather sucked big time, but what are you going to do. You can plan everything but the weather. Work is really good. I've been there 6 months and I just got a dollar an hour raise. Which makes me really happy. I still need to get another job. This one pays the bills and then some but I have a lot of free time that I don't know what to do with myself, and i also need a new car. One of my regulars wants me to clean his house for him. I know he will pay me really well. People think I shouldn't do it because he might 'try to take advantage of me'. Where has the faith in human kind gone? We'll see how that goes.
Not to much else is new. I have been thinking more and more about moving to Cali this summer. I think I just fit in better there and I am sick of my surroundings here in Illinois. I only have a few factors holding me back here. One is the little bit of family I have here and money to move out there. I know it's going to take a lot to start up out there and live on while I find a job.
That's all for now...off to work for the man
