Changes

There have been some major changes around our house this week. We have acquired more pets. Five kittens to be exact. This might not be so spectacular for some people, but for our family it is outstanding. You see, my dad hates cats. I begged for one most of adolescent life until the point came that I no longer wanted one. We had to plead just to get our dog, so now for us to have five kittens and a dog is simply mind boggling. After a rough start they are doing well. I pulled the first one out from under the house, and every time I pulled one out I thought it was the last one only to be fooled. I have bottle fed them, bathed them, and even began to name them, even though I know they cannot stay. :(

Well 30 applications later it seems that I am officially employed. Wal-Mart decided that they could use my mad money counting skills. I was interviewed today for a cashier position. I will be donning a navy blue t-shirt and khakis and should begin training this week! ^.^ On a not so excited note, a stipulation of this employment is the mandatory drug test. No I have never been drug tested before and I was not thrilled with this experience. I felt as though I was a criminal and could not be trusted. But now that I have gotten that experience of of the way, let the pay period begin!

For most people in my situation school is taking a back seat to everything related to sun, water, and summer fun. But I slacked off at the end of the term and now to pay the price I have work that I need to finish. So tomorrow, along with cleaning and laundry, I will begin the tedious task of completing my grammar work. I will have to put my nose to the grind stone on this one and just get it done.

I am looking forward to a visit from Robert, aka Bear. He is suppose to come to my house on Thursday evening and not leave until Friday possibly Saturday. I hope that we thoroughly enjoy my belated birthday celebration.

But now I must be off to my new nightly ritual of falling asleep to Mr.Darcy profess his undying love for Miss Elizabeth!

Attempt #1

I have never blogged before, but thought I would give it a try because I might actually might want to look back on the thoughts in my head. Besides I need something to keep me on my toes for the summer.

So I have started the grueling job search for the summer. I have put in nearly 15 applications so far and I am hoping to hear back from someone, anyone really, by Wednesday. It is absolutely necessary for me to find a job since it turns out that I owe UWA $600 before the summer is over. :( But on the bright side Bear (Robert... just feels weird to call him Bear here) got a job at Sam's club as a cart pusher. The heat and constant physical labor is getting to him, but it will be great when he gets his first check I'm sure.

I have also decided to set a goal (or two) for the summer. I aim to loose 50 pounds by August. And I have tried to go walk every day and do crunches. I don't know if I have lost any yet, but I intend to break out the scale and check tomorrow. My second goal is this blog. I want to post at least once a week. This being the first of course. I have a few other things I want to accomplish but I will work on finding a job and these two goals first.
