Amazing Evening - Plus, Thanks To You
"Holy cow he's gorgeous!"
This was the first thing that came to mind as he walked down the stairs in his black suit and coat with pink shirt underneath, carrying his shoes and socks, his hair floating around his face, his big, brown eyes beaming with excitement. As he walked down you could tell as the smile spread across his face, the look of awe in his eyes that he had seen the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen...me. And he told me so all night long. We had play fights over who was more gorgeous (he won with sublime) but I knew who really was. It wasn't the suit, it wasn't the pink shirt. It wasn't the shoes, or even the cologne. It was him. He has a way of being absolutely stunning in nothing but a simple t-shirt and jeans. He knocks the wind out of me with his sheer presence every time i see him, but you get him all dressed up and he takes my breath away. I could have stared at him for hours...oh wait...I did.
Last night was amazing. The Evening With the Stars was incredible. A lot of Josh's friends were there, I recognized a lot of people, one person I almost dare to call my friend was there. A few girls I know from church were there for choir, they did swimmingly. All of the students that walked across that stage were beautiful. All of the parents in the room were proud. There was an odd air of proudness and happpiness mixed with sadness and longing, all mixed in with the formality of the entire evening. The students acknowledged their favorite teachers and it almost made me cry. The evening was beautiful, almost miraculous in a way. I am so proud of Josh. He has done so much in his four years of highschool. He deserved that night. I'm certainly not going to forget this, and neither will he, I'm sure.
Special thanks to Julie Zepp for helping me get ready to be beautiful for Josh. Thanks to Lara for lending me her jewelry. Thanks to Todd and Sandy for being the wonderful parents of one of the biggest people in my life. Thanks to Lindsey and Austin for helping Josh grow and for giving him your companionship. Most thanks to you Josh, for inspiring me, for teaching me, for encouraging me, for helping me grow and mature. You are beautiful and I love you very much.

Long Time, No Post - Plus, Excitement For Tonight
So I guess my job is taking up more time than I thought. I don't really have time for much of anything except for on my two days off. Next month will be hectic, I'm working some days that aren't in my regular schedule. A plus is that next month I'm only working every other Saturday. In April I'm scheduled for every Saturday - poo.
Other than scheduling, work is going wonderfully. I got to witness my first autopsy on Monday - that was cool. Saw two dogs that were in horrible condition and had to be put down. The one had spleen cancer (the dog we did the autopsy on) and the spleen was at least twice the size it was supposed to be on account of cancer (but i'll spare you the details unless otherwise requested) and this other dog had tumors growing from his gums and on his shoulder and had maggots living in his lower lip - we obviously put him down. Poor guy.
Sarah's being a brat. I need to have his wings clipped - he's not wanting to stay with us when we hold him, he just flies off. At least once his wings are clipped all he can do is flap to the floor.
I'm going to Mrs. Zepp's house today and she's going to do my hair for the dinner tonight. I was invited to go to an appreciation dinner for all the really smart people (probably just Seniors) at Flower Mound. Josh and his family are going and I was invited along. I'm so excited! I finally get to watch people (someone other than me) acknowlege him for how smart he is. Plus I get to see him all gussied up and such...*grins*
I got a picture of my friend Honza (or Johny in American) from the Czech Republic today - he's a cutie! Heh. He's a really cool guy. Cultural differences are fun to discuss, things like school systems and mundane things in general. He catches me off guard sometimes when I use a common American phrase and he asks what it means. He's really good with English, but some things you can't learn from across the world.
I had better go eat. My stomach is begging me to. Can't wait for the dinner - so excited!!! I'll talk to you guys later.
Tschüss!

Bitterness - Plus, Weekend Fun
I go to him for comfort and all I get is the cold, hard truth. Ouch. I guess there is a downside to being a realistically logical thinker.
I went to the dentist today. *winces at the remembrance* I don't floss, so now I'm having to deal with the problems from that (cavities between the teeth - never heard of them, but they obviously happen). Grr. I hate the dentist with a passion.
Seanathan liked Grandma's pancakes.
I have a full weekend planned. Friday, I'm relaxing. I'm not scheduled to work, I don't have anything planned for the evening so far, I'm going to do my schoolwork in the day - get caught up and such, clean my room and the bathroom, the truck, Sarah's cage, maybe even give my dogs a bath. We'll see how all the cleaning goes, but I know I'll get my schoolwork done. Saturday, I'm working from 7:30 to 12, then going to help Lara get ready for prom, then going to dinner with Josh, then going to the after-prom party at Marcus (and if I can't get in then I'll go with the church group to Katie's), then either going home and sleeping or going to church and then going home to sleep. Fun, fun.
I have to leave for work now. Talk to you all later. Thanks for commenting.

Can't Figure Out - Plus, I Must Figure It Out!
As you all heard on Sunday, Josh got an intern job at UT over the Summer. I am so unbelievably proud of him - I can't believe he landed something so rare! He'll be doing what he wants to do for a living and getting paid well for it - the only thing is that he has to be at the school to do it (duh!). He'll be living in his grandparent's house in Austin all Summer, then move to the dormroom in Fall. This experience is going to be so good for him, he'll learn a lot and get experience under his belt. The only thing is that his first day is Thursday, June 5. He gets an entire week out of school before he goes. I'm so proud of him, yet I can't help but cry - I'm going to miss him so much. We'll still talk on the phone like we do now, but we probably won't see each other but every other week at best. That's what the plan was going to be for college, but I expected to have the entire Summer to spend with him before all that time apart. Now it's all been taken away. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. I thought I was a lot stronger than this. I know it'll be hard, but I know I can handle it. At least I thought I could. Now only thinking about the reality of the future makes me cry. I savor every second with him as if it was my last. And he's not leaving for over a month! I keep telling myself to get a grip, but I can't hold on to myself for that long. In a way, I never want it to come. In another, I wish it would get here already and I could be getting used to it - there's four years of it ahead. I guess that's why I was so looking forward to this Summer. I hate that I'm so emotional about it, but at the same time I don't want to not cry and come off as heartless. I don't know how to deal with it. This weighs on me a lot more than I account for, I'm sure. *sighs, letting the tears dry*
...
My job has been going well. I got to VA almost completely by myself yesterday. I say almost completely because I haven't memorized the location of every single medication yet, and I'm still learning how to put different things into the computer, but those things I will only learn through doing. It's cool. My coworker in kennels is mad because my boss volunteers me to do VA stuff when my coworker has been trained in it for so long. I don't know why my boss does that, she just does. I expected to work in kennels for a while before learning anything else and she started my VA training and kennel training at the same time. I can't wait until I can do everything by myself. That will be an awesome day.
I went to Josh's today - he doesn't have to be at school until noon all this week because of TAKS, but you knew that already. Anyhoo, I went over to his house and we watched An Interview With A Vampire. Good movie, I wouldn't mind owning it. It has Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas and couple other famous people in it. I thought it was a very interesting movie - I liked it.
I really don't know what else to say. My idea for an anniversary gift got shot out of the sky by my Mother, who ended the criticism by saying, "I feel like I'm always bursting your bubbles." My thought was, 'That's cause you are, Mom,' but I didn't say anything out loud. I was smart and kept my mouth shut. So now I have to think of something else. I know the specifics, but I can't think of anything else that would fit them. Grr. It's always my Mom that pops my bubbles. I can understand why she's saying what she's saying, but if you see my point of view, what she's saying doesn't really affect anything. She has a good point, but there are ways around it, I guess that's what I'm trying to say.
Well, I've got school and studying to catch up on. Oh, and thank you Seanathan for talking with me on Monday. Much appreciated.
Tschüss!

Watching Myself - Plus, A Small Update
I've been doing fairly well recently. Haven't been quite so tired, I'm getting into the groove of things. I've also been noticably happier overall and I thank my wonderful Josh for it.
He noticed that I continually bash myself (I knew I did it, but not how frequently I actually do it) and it hurts him to see me hurting myself - whether I notice it or not. He says something everytime I call myself stupid or an idiot or something of the like and he told me that everytime I write in my paper journal to write down three things that I liked about myself that day. I didn't write anything down last night and when Josh asked me what my three things were. I told him I don't think I could come up with any, he told me to try while he was finishing up some things, so he hung up and gave me time to write. It took me a while, but I wrote down three things. I've been doing this for about five days now and I really notice now when I belittle myself out of habit. People holding you accountable really does something to a person. In a good way.
Work has been fine. I'm learning more VA stuff which is good; I'm able to help out more. I have to take a test though and I have to make an 80 or better to pass. Keep in mind this will be the fourth test I've ever taken in my life. I can see this becoming stressful later on. Oh, and I did almost all of the kennel stuff all by myself yesterday morning (I was supposed to do it alone, but the girl that trained me can't just sit there and watch, so she did a little bit of it). That was cool. I'm fully confident that I can do all the kennel work by myself. I could have done it my third day on the job, but I would have been slow and having to check the check-off sheet every five minutes. 'Sall good.
I'm going to hang out with Lara Friday night. We're going to go shopping. She's going to help me find what I'm looking for for Josh. It'll be fun, I'm sure. I'm pretty excited about it.
I think that's all I have to update about. I did find out yesterday that one of my co-workers (one whom I recognized her face and her name but couldn't figure out where I knew her from) faithfully went to JOY at Crossroads for years and years. It was great because we talked about Bible Study and books we liked to study and books we haven't studied. It was great! I liked this woman before, now I like her even more!

Rushed - Plus, Running For My Life
I feel so rushed lately. Going from work straight to everything else takes a toll on me. I'm lucky to have two days off, but those end up being the only days that I can get schoolwork done, and study for things like midschool and Wednesday nights. I'm so ashamed of the lack of Christian I've become and I don't know how to fix it. I've asked for help but no one has answered the question at hand. I'm getting tired again. I can't wait for fall - doing nothing but work will help. I hafta run to work now. Speaking of run, even in my dreams I'm runnin from people, and drama swarms through every crack it can. I didn't like my dream last night.
Tschüss.

An Update For You - Plus, Ramblings From The Author
Work is going wonderfully! Yesterday was the best day by far! I did all VA stuff and prepared my first vaccination! It was great fun! I also got to hold my first two dogs all by myself - that was awesome! And, I got a knot and a bruise between my eyebrows from a dog. He decided that it would be fun to knock the kennel door into my face...so he did. Anyhoo, it was fun. Oh! I got a name on my locker and my very own box - very cool! He he he. I'm such a dork, so easily amused, all that jazz.
Josh and I are going out tonight. Not sure what we're doing yet. I can't wait to see him. He's so amazing. He's been my life-line this past week. I don't know what I'd do without him.
Senior speeches are in 46 days and I have no idea what I've learned the past four years. Well, I've learned a lot, but I don't know what I should pass on to others. I should start thinking about this or I'll end up doing it the night before.
You people never comment anymore. I guess if I had a life like you all, I wouldn't need comments. *rim shot* Lol.
Anyhoo...
Sarah's been a brat lately. I'm going to have Daddy clip his wings so that he can't fly off. He will sit there on your shoulder, he'll climb around on you when you're sitting on the couch, but if you try and keep him on your finger, he'll fly away. You try and go get him and he flies away. You put your finger up there next to him and tell him to "come here" and he has a cow and squeals and pecks and runs away. *shakes head* And he was doing so well there for a while! We'll clip him, get him retrained, then see how he does when he molts again and gets his feathers back.
Umm...do I have anything else to write about?
Three of my friend's lives are falling apart and I'm not quite sure how to help them. One of them has been that way for a while, the other two are recent. I don't know what I could do to help them.
I need a new phone. I can make calls, I just usually can't hear when the person is talking. It flakes in and out and can't be trusted. Also, the ringer is dead. Completely dead. If it's on silent mode, the phone doesn't ever vibrate. I don't know when I'm getting a call or a text message, though I check it frequently. So for those of you wanting to get ahold of me, send me a text message, I'll call you from a landline when I get the chance. Isn't it crazy how you can't get along without a cell phone if you've had one previous and now you don't? Grr-ness.
Well, enough rambling for me. I have errands to run and four day's worth of schoolwork to do, so I need to get on it. Talk to you later!
Tschüss!

Work - Plus, The Stupidity Of Myself Is Unbelievable
Wow. My first day on the job was pretty good. In the morning I was working in the kennels - the job is so easy that I got done early while working with someone. In the afternoon I was trained how to restrain both dogs and cats with various holds - that was fun! Then I spent the rest of the afternoon observing the VA's (Veterinary Assistants) with the patient, client, and doctor in the exam rooms, and I got to watch and help hold in the treatment rooms with the RVT's (Registered Veterinary Technician - what I'm going to college to be). I'm going to be trained to be a VA, working with the doctors and assisting wherever I'm needed. It'll be fun. The days are longer than I'm used to - working from 7:30 to 6 or 7 three to four days a week, so that'll take a while to get used to and I'm tired from it, but otherwise everything's good.
Ok so, I'm officially the stupidest person I know. Yesterday, I'm in the truck, ready to leave work. I put the key in the ignition, the key won't turn. I tried turning it harder, I tried turning it in either direction, it wouldn't budge. I called Josh to come pick me up, I called my parents to come look at the truck and see what the problem was. They got there before Josh did, my Dad looked at it, and found out what the problem was. He asked me if I tried the right key. I couldn't think of why my Dad would ask me that. Mom said I was using the van key - by van I was thinking Clifford - then I realized. I was using the Beast key - the Beast is a Ford, just like the truck. I sobbed. I'm sure Josh didn't enjoy walking up to a tearstained, messy-haired, smelled-like-animals girlfriend. He didn't seem to mind too much though.
And this morning after I tried calling Josh, I set my phone down on what I thought was my bedside table and went to sleep. I woke up two hours later and decided to try and call Josh again, even though I didn't think I could get him. I look over and sitting there, of course, is my phone, plugged into the charger, sitting in none other than a half-full cup of honest-to-goodness H2O. I pulled the phone out of the water, fighting the intstinct to curse at my stupidity, took out the battery and watched the water drip out of my phone. A bubble appeared in the display as the water started to drain out and as I told my Mother what I did, I mocked, through tears, how much fun it was to play with the little air bubble in my display. My Mom has high hopes for my cute little phone. I don't. I don't have a very good outlook on it at all.
I only got one day's worth of school done today (I need to do one more), I have Midschoool to go to, I have to fill out my W-2 form with my parents after Midschool (the only time I'll see them today) and try and remember that veracity means truthfulness/adherence to truth.
So overall, today has sucked. The only times I've smiled today was while losing the real world in the "blissfulness" of the 1860's in Little House on the Prairie and when Josh called this afternoon and cheered me up. And just think, this sucky day is nowhere near over with. I'm just glad I have my girls to look forward to. They always manage to make me feel better, and they don't do anything but talk about themselves and their very-real Midschool lives and the problems therein. I love my girls, there's no doubt about that.
I have to go shower now. Maybe that'll make me feel better. *sighs*
Tschüss!

Wow. My first day on the job was pretty good. In the morning I was working in the kennels - the job is so easy that I got done early while working with someone. In the afternoon I was trained how to restrain both dogs and cats with various holds - that was fun!
