the cat named dawg

last saturday allen and i were playing viedo games and he walked into the kitchen and said i hear a cat...thiinking he was hearing the tv i told him it was...being allen he opened the door and i heard him say hello pretty kitty...i called back that wasn't funny...when a kitten maybe 8-12 weeks old just walked in and made herself at home.  she's a black, orange and white calico. we could almost keep her. if money wasn't an issue...we are trying to save for both allens and mine cat.  we have named her dawg.  funny thing is she answers to it.  she begs, she comes when called, fetches,what else are we suppose to call her?

last night allen asked her if she wanted to help him cook...i would not believe if if i had'nt been sitting right there, but she got up and went into the kitchen with him...twice!

so this gets me thinking...i have always believe the God puts people...and other things in our path for a reason why not a cat...we are not keeping her she going to be a barn cat for a friend of ours.  maybe i could write childrens book about her.

things are going well with allen and me. i still dont have a job but that will be remidied.  i got allen reading fablehaven and im reading garudains of ga'hoole.  i just finished the first book. its really good the movie looks like it takes up a few books. need to get going until the next time

a much needed update

it has been almost a year since my last post aand so much has happened
i will try to speed through with as much as possable...

dad: we found out dad had/ has cancer. he had surgeries and chemo and radition and seemes to be recovering as about as well as he can be.

grandma: after begging and pleading (even yelling at her) about sending her life savings to far off countries to people unknown she finally got it. scam scam scam!!!!!

mom: she had been having problems with one eye since she had cataracts removed. turns out she was legally blind in the one eye she had been having problems with. she had surgery and a recovery time of 7 -10 days...more on that later trust me

allen: he came up to chicago in march. we had so much fun getting to know each other even more. i didnt realize how much i missed him untill i met him at the train station. we spent a few days hanging out even took him to one of my classes with me.  i was sad when he left for kentucky but not devastated.

me: in February i began to feel weird. kinda like I'm on fire or my nerves were going crazy and messing with my body.  i felt like a teenager again with wanting to ask "what's going on with my body?" turns out it was a vitamin B defencey.  the meds i was taking i didn't like reactions...thanks to some well chosen words from some friends i was able to get off the meds...it was more than a hurricane that i weathered.  I'm soooo very sorry Linda.  i went to Virginia in august and was slammed by hurricane Irene...learned I'm not as strong as i thought.  thank you Lord for showing me that.  before that, in June i went back to Kentucky. one of Allen's brothers was getting married. i got to meet his family this time. if i felt i fit in with his step-family i really fit in with family family. a week before the wedding Allen purposed to me...i said yes.  i knew he was going to, we had talked about it before hand. so we planed for late October early November (i originally wanted a Halloween wedding) now remember my moms recovery time? this was about the time she was to recover...oh yeah loads of fun.

it was a beautiful ceremony in the temple. simple and quiet. the spirit was truly there i know this was right.  right now I'm sitting in our kitchen I'm suppose to be at church but we are both sick. until next month? and more pictures to come!

school, snow, and more snow

i have school fours days a week and i'm taking two classes.  i'm doing ok in my classes.  math (algebra) and english (creative writing) math is keeping me on my toes, and creative writing is pushing me emotionally. i already have to face demons.  i thought my math class was going to be a problem.  i still get queasy when i think about it.

we were let out of school early on tuesday.  i was so tired and i just wanted to get home i got on the right bus route; the bus was going in the wrong direction though.  i was on the way back when the bus driver was creeping along the road and apologized for the lateness and i'm thinking i rather be alive and late. i could see out the front window, i should say i could hardly see out the front window.

 when i got home thee was some snow in my room and it only got worse.  jason, mom and i tacked a blanket over the window and in the morning i found a snow wall behind the blanket.  i was not happy.

i can't explain it but it seems the older i get the more i hate snow.  i am so moving to kentuky.  i mean it's pretty, but not when i'm almost as tall as some snow piles.  (insert short joke here).

i missing allen a lot i know its cheesy but i can't help it.  i can't wait to see him again. he's coming to meet me...i just don't know when...i can't wait

christmas and new years

WHOA! I FEEL GOOD! (guitar riff) SO GOOD! (guitar riff) THAT I GOT YOUUUUU!

ok christmas was nice. the only thing i got that i asked for was the walmart gift card.  even the crotchet  blanket from grandma was nice. but other than that i got slippers and an electric blanket (sorry becki the electric blanket is my new best friend). it was fun hanging with the family and and poking dun at daniel's choice of football team (dolphins taste like tuna?).  christmas day was long.  we have a family tradition we only open presents when the whole family is there.  well jason had to work on christmas so we had to wait until the afternoon.  so we waited.  dan, a family friend, proposed to his girlfriend crystal at our house.  it was cute.

after christmas, i went to kentucky to meet allen in person.  on the way down the train hit a car...we weren't even outside the greater part of chicago.  the accident delayed us about two hours.  the way down was smooth otherwise.  when i got there it was still dark and the town was tiny in the all american way.  i had to take a taxi to the hotel.  later that morning met up with allen and his mom and step-dad for brunch.  allen and i hung out at k-mart for a while then when to see tron.  i know, seeing a movie on the first date is a bad idea, but it was nice.  after that we hung out with allen's step-family back at home.  it was crazy fun.  the next day allen and i had chinese spent the rest of the day hanging out together.  sunday we went to church and i was a odd thing in his branch. one of his friends gave us three months...for what he didn't say, but i know he wasn't talking about how long we will last.  it was such a great weekend i didn't want it to end.  even now i have a hard time functioning.  ahhhh good times.

school and things

so school ended with some interesting news.  first i got an A in my class, and my instructor asked if he could use one of my essays for a format for future classes...of course i said yes.  and i thought that things were ok as far as my fafsa stood, come to find out there is a restriction on my application...i appealed that and declared my major. fine arts in film...i can still write and do film too.

now the reason my application was restricted was i had two failed classes that i never made-up.  lets give my old job a big thumps up!...yeah if you know me you know the sarcasm in that statement.

mom took the girls to get our hair cut.  i was not allowed to cut it too short.  but it looks cute.  i even did my hair for christmas eve.  that too was looking good.  speaking of christmas it was not the christmas morning it was the christmas night.  the only thing i got that i asked for was a gift card.  i got slippers and an electric blanket. that blanket has become my new bestfriend.

i'm excited to see allen later this week.  i'm leaving thursday evening and getting into kentuky way to early.  when i leave it'll be way to late and getting back will be in the morning.  i've been getting a blanket response from a lot of people...behave myself!  excuse me i can behave myself...mostly.

mockery of my every day life.....

yeah i think that's what i'll do with my boredom blog.  mock my own life.  i don't know why but hey if it works.....

not totally looking forward to having days off with nothing to do...even though allen is my real boyfriend, the t.v. and computer are my lovers.  this might cause a problem in my slowly executing my fat.  i totally understand the line "bowl full of jelly" when describing santa in the poem the night before christmas.  what i am looking forward is going to visit allen for new years.  that will be fun...even if it might be cold.

this morning i had the nearly uncontrollable urge to put on ever stitch of clothing i owned.  hmmm with the nasty bitter wind, and biting cold air i can't imagine why.  maybe i should be a polar bear member this winter...then i tell myself i'm crazy.  not that there anything against the polar bear club, more power to you!  for those who don't know what the polar bear plunge is...on new years, or other days in january, people take a dip in lake michigan.  yep.  you read that right, in january!

one of the things i'm planing on doing over break is spearheading my novle, not the one i'm reading, the one i'm writing.  we'll see how much i get done.

i'm bored

i'm not totally sure what i'm doing here.  i'm just insanely bored.  i do weird things when i get bored.  like go on spontaneous road trips. calling in sick and hiding out someplace. i'm not as adventurous as that sounds, i live by the work hard; play hard motto.

school is just about to wrap up and that's it for the semester, and year. i just hope i can get the money for the classes i already signed up for.  math 102, and creative writing.  sooo not looking forward to the math class.

allen, my incredible boyfriend, sent me gorgeous earrings and a matching necklace for my birthday.  i got him something nice too, not going to say what it is until he gets it.

i spent thanksgiving up in anchorage, with becki.  it was fun...mostly.  met some crazy people, but that's the only kind of people becki hangs out with.  i would know...remember random road trips.
