So, I'm in love again.

And it's wonderful :-D I can't wait till Chris comes to visit me! I'm so excited :-D

Muah! Love love love love love love love.

I've been waiting for a full heart and now it's here. I really think all it took was some distance.

I can't even properly express it, but its more and more everyday. Love

So, add that to your friends, friends.  Most people looking at the journal probably won't be ljers so its unlikely I'll use many cuts for pics, so you'll just have to deal :-p.  If it annoys you, just let me know!


Oh yeah, for those of you who are unaware... I'm going to Australia for 6 months!

So I'm in wyoming and i have NO cellphone service. Sorry for not calling you back liz. In anycase, all I can do is talk over AIM EXPRESS if it even lets me log on, or email. please use my gmail account if you wanna chat.

okie dokie well I guess thats it. Its kinda sucky that I don't have ANY phone service. Tomorrow i think we're going to Mt. Rushmore, AND I have no more charge in my camera and didn't bring my charger. I'm kicking myself over this. So Damn.

Alrighty, well I'll just talk to you later alligators! I come back on monday, so I'll get in on Tuesday and then I stay for a couple weeks and off of Aussie land I go!

OH and you should friend my new journal aussiekaty

I got a cold and I feel waaay yucky. I even have a hot water bottle on my belly to try to help with these gawd-awful stomach cramps.

At least I can breathe again. But this has seriously got to be the worst cold ever. The cramps are definately keeping me in bed though. Your body sure knows how to keep you from doing stuff, doesn't it? What an amazing thing. Body over Mind, this is.


Also, I havent' updated that I got a new job! Very exciting. It's with a company called Kinder Fit. Its really high pay, and basically I just do fun things with kids from age 2-6, that work on their fitness and fine motor skills, things like that. It's really fun! and the pay is awesome. I get to work at daycare centers near me, so thats a plus, and no evenings or weekends, how cool. So, thats really fun, I'm excited about it.

Thats all thats new really. I'm gonna try some more resting. I cant believe its already past two. Times like this I wish I had a tv in my room.

Today has just been really nice.

Very calm, collected, feelin good. Slept in, was lazy, studied, ate olives, decorated the christmas tree, having dinner at home, real nice. Its nice not to have to go out al lthe time. Like, a -real- day off. go fig.

So, this entry is just to say that for this particular moment, things are pretty nice. :-)

Alrighty, so Thanksgiving was pretty fun!

My day started out pretty good, I got a head start on burning calories by goin to work out, and then got ready for thanksgiving.

The day started, when I was going to Chris's family's Thanksgiving dinner. I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure how they'd be. In spite of knowing Kjersten, I'd thought that people of the mormon religion would be.. really different from me. But they weren't! They were all really nice and fun people. No drinking or caffiene, regular prayer, they had missionaries come to have dinner with them, they seemed nice. Still a little strange, but nice anyways. Luckily, Chris's brother Josh also had brought his girlfriend Laura, so we got to talk about how we didn't know anyone and such. Chris's mom is really really nice, similar to me by how we talk and some mannerisms. His dad is really quiet. Chris is definately his parents' child, by looks anyways.

Then we went to Jackie's with Daddy. It took some convincing to chris, but he went (yay!). We had some vino, and some more food, and some general fun. Watched Shilo play with catnip and people, met jackie's family. It was all really really nice.

Then Chris and I came back to my house and went through ads for black friday till about midnight. Good times :-).


So that was all fun and nice, I will say.
Ever since we got back together, things have just been terrific. Like.. extremely great.

How nice :-)



Finals start tuesday! eek!

This morning around 5, 5:30..we had to put Alex to sleep.
Its been a really hard day.
I miss her so much. You dont even know.

I remember when..
We got her from the pound after swimming lessons.
Naming her, all in a circle on the living room floor.
Her first bark, scaring her.
Her seeing her shadow for the first time.
Going out to get the mail every day.
When Mom took her to softball practice & games.
Balancing on her back legs.
Playing under the covers
She used to pretend to be mean and snap, but she'd just kiss.
When she'd kiss ya all over.
She always wanted so much attention, she'd move under your hand if you stopped petting her so you'd continue.
In & out dog.
Rat dog
Muttski
Alex the Schmalex, the little baby palex
The Poocher with the Moocher
The Doggy with the Woggie
When she'd roll around on her back in the middle of the carpet
She'd beg a lot
her "tours" of the house
She used to go through her toys so fast.
Swimmin, playin dog-ball
When she tore apart her rug, that was so cute.
She was so sweet, she'd guard my room when i was home alone, she loved everyone immediately. We were her caregivers and her protectors, but most of all family. I love her so much, I'm gonna miss her. I love you alex. You're gonna find Mom up in Heaven and you guys are gonna hang out for a short while until we're all up there with you. I love you so much. I mish you both. Please be with me as I go day by day and help me make good decisions. love love love.

I miss my babydoggy

Thanks to those who commented on my last entry in such a short time period. It means a lot!

She's doing much better now compared to yesterday. However, her heart is pretty weak we're not really sure how long 'better' will last. She gets to spend the night at home but tomorrow goes back to the clinic so they can keep a watch on her and give her more diuretics.

But its also getting to the point of price. Which is so sad. Doggy medical expenses are VERY expensive. And since shes 14 anyways, its really great she's lasted this long. So, we'll basically see her chances of her best recovery and depending on a multitude of things, it may come down to the wire about making that tough decision.

Jackie came over today though, and that was nice. Mostly Alex is just sleepin' and trying to stay still. You can tell she doesn't feel great, but you can also tell she's tryin real hard to have energy. It's kinda comin' in spurts.

All day today I've been near tears at any random given moment. I cried a couple of times, and now a little.

I love this doggy so much. I'm gonna miss her so so much. But I'd rather her go in peace while sleepin than in pain.

But, shes not dead yet!! she may actually have a few more days/weeks left, but it doesnt make it less sad to think about.

Current Mood: sad

Alex has been real sick lately. UTI followed by Kennel Cough. But it wasn't really Kennel Cough. It's congestive heart failure. exactly 4 years from tomorrow we brought mom home to be in hospice care.

Sooo, dad took her to the emergency room last night/early this morning. And then today shes at the allen animal clinic, and on an IV and diaretics trying to get the fluid off her heart and that whole cavity which is just full.

So dad and I have been crying this morning. She has somewhere around a window of 8-12 hours. but we should know in about 6 whats the future holds.

We're gonna cremate her with a toy.

I don't have anymore words.
I'm just a blubbering mess of tears.

She's 14. I've had her since I was 6. My only sister.

1. Reply with your name and I will write something I like about you.
2. I will then tell what song reminds me of you.
3. i will tell you something only the two of us will understand.
4. I will try to name a single word that best describes you.
5. I'll tell you the most memorable moment I've had with you.
6. I will tell you what color you remind me of.
7. Put this in your journal

By the way, Chris and I are doing great :-)

Chris and I are officially back together.

Yay!

uuuuggghhh

I don't understand. I don't understand why someone would just do that. I wondered the other day what could be worse than the torment of a migraine. Because I felt like dying. But.. I didn't really feel like dying. Not enough to kill myself.

Is Job loss alone that depressing? I don't think so. But I don't know.

Almost retirement age, with a wife. Moderately healthy, moderately wealthy.

The sky so big that it broke his soul?

How does it get to that point!?


Rest in Peace Del Kuntz.
I'll miss you very much. Say hi to Mom and Mischeif.


I don't like hearing my Dad cry. It hurts to lose people close to you.

So, I keep sabotaging myself. My diet, and I dont know why. Weak! Weak am I!

And to make it worse, I was craving nachos. So, gooey cheesy nachos it was (I was really good this morning and afternoon, minus the toast). Well, I should be starting my period tomorrow, and I always forget not to eat any cheese or greasy foods or else I get cramps..but its also when I get the cravings the most! Blast.

So now, I'm feeling not so great.

and my throat is still scratchy. Get better, dammit!

Then relax in the sweet sweet blessed sheets of naptime.

Sonic Carhop ALX fundraiser was Saturday, and that was nice. We made $650! So, Thats pretty darn exciting.
Then afterwards was My's party..which I got really drunk at. yikes. I was so sick afterwards. It was quite terrible. and All through today I've been teeter-tottering feelings of nausea. But the party was pretty fun, and I got to see people I missed seeing.

Chris and I went back to his place and he took care of me as needed. What a good boyfriend, and stupid feeling girlfriend for having drank so much. Oh well. Daddy was nice to me, I'm glad I don't feel like I have to lie to him :-). Schtuff happens.

Test tomorrow. Woo hoo.. eh.

Considering everything, things are actually going quite nicely.

I love listening to Vienna Teng, its been like a month, and I love it.
