Subject:good times
Security:Public

So, I just got back from my anniversary trip, which was great fun. Jeffrey and I went to Pinecrest and went hiking and swimming in lakes and generally avoided civilization. I have to admit that I really liked not having a phone or internet access for a week. I'll see if I can post pictures after we get them off of the camera. It was breathtaking.

Also, for the record, we have set a date for the wedding. It will be in Fremont on September 6th, 2009. Forever and a day away, of course, which is somewhat upsetting. However, between both working and going to school full time right now I sure don't have time to plan a wedding. By '09, we should both be done with school.

Also, assuming things go as planned (which of course they never do) we will probably even be able to buy our own place. It would be nice to move into a place that we actually own right after the wedding. Since we live together now, that would make it a much more significant event than just a ceremony.

Well, we've been engaged for over a year already now, so what's the rush? haha.

I have been doing some minor wedding planning, though. You know, the exciting parts. haha. At least I have my color scheme picked out.

Subject:I feel really old
Security:Public

Today when I was babysitting Carter, who is nine, I felt old for perhaps the first time in my life.

I made some comment about when not everyone had an e-mail address, and Carter said "WOW! That was a really long time ago, huh?"

I also made an MC Hammer joke (don't ask) which of course he didn't get. I felt terribly dated.

Subject:I am sooo upset about this...
Security:Public
Mood: infuriated

So I've been visiting my family, staying at my mother's house. It's been great to see everybody again, but they've all got work and such, so i end up spending a lot of time with my dog, Muffy, which is pretty neat since what with living on the opposite side of the country I haven't seen her in ages, either. I've noticed that Muffy walks around a lot with her tail between her legs and her head down, like she used to do when she pooped in the house, but now she does it almost all the time.

Last night I was in charge of keeping Muffy away from the dinner party they were having. She snuck away and ran to the door, and I stuck my foot out to block her way. When she saw my foot go out she started cowering as if I were about to kick her.

Later, we were playing and running around. Sometimes she would chase me and sometimes I would chase her. At one point, I was chasing her and I was about to scoop her up and give her kisses, but when I reached down she let out the most heart wrenching "stop don't hurt me!" yelp that I have ever heard. I know that I didn't hurt her, because I was only just barely touching her with my finger tips, but she was scared! She was shaking for a while after that. We cuddled on the couch and she calmed down pretty quickly, though.

So I wanna know, who the hell has been abusing my dog, and what the fuck gives that person the right to treat anyone that way???? I am absolutely livid right now.

Last night I went to a 4th of July get together with my sister. Her friends are totally awesome. They even played scrabble with me a bazillion times and there was some pretty good sangria. I was really worried about feeling like a loser and being bored the whole time, since I didn't really know anyone, but I had a great time.

Things with Jeffrey are so good that I'm in a constant state of giddiness. Funny, though... that's been going on for a good two months or so now, not that we weren't getting along very well before, but we've just hit a certain stride, I guess. I keep expecting something to disrupt it, but all these things keep happening that one would think would disrupt a good stride and yet we keep on being in step with one another, and when one of us falls behind the other goes back and we pull ahead together. I guess that must be the trick right there. I feel very comfortable with my life right now.

look, woman

when I answered your ad on craigslist I sent you the days that I was available. When you posted your ad you wrote "days flexible"; you did not say Monday and Friday. I sent you an e-mail saying that Mondays and Wednesdays were the days that worked for me, and you answered back saying that it worked for you. I don't see why you need to have me come to your house to talk to you and why you need to bother my poor overused references if you're not sure if the schedule works for you because you were really hoping for someone for Friday morning. If I had known that you'd need someone for Friday morning I would not have answered your ad. GRRRRRRRRRR

Subject:good news and more good news
Security:Public
Mood: accomplished

My life is going surprisingly well at the moment. I have a new job where I work fewer hours and make a decent amount of money. Plus it's to play games with two year olds all day, so it's pretty fun, and I get a two and a half hour paid break while they take a nap. Sweet.

The quarter's almost over and I'm doing quite well. I'm estimating all A's. As long as I don't flunk the final I'm guaranteed at least a B in my international studies class, which is pretty sweet. I get an A for sure if I either 1) get at least a D on the final and do the extra credit or 2) get an A on the final. I think I'll do the extra credit to be on the safe side, but I'm thinking I can get an A on the final.

The other good news is that I have a behind the wheel test scheduled for April 6th and am feeling pretty comfortable with my driving.

Right now the only thing in my life that's particularly stressful is that I gave up A LOT of stuff for Lent, and I'm having major cheese and meat cravings. haha.
