SUMO! sumo kite, if you will...
for the benefit of mr. kite.


this is my baby.



shooter &him love each other, he snores, he snorts, he's like
a little piggy, he's everything i hoped for. my little
frenchie man!


:)
last night we decided a name.
he still needs his own last name
but he finally has a first!

the name the breeder gave him
was hank. no,thanks!
my little man's name
will be ____.

to be announced when i get him!
hopefully by the end of next week.

i am a very happy girl...

and this is why.



that's my little fatfat man.
should be coming home next week.
still undecided on a name.
<3<3

wow.



i don't even think you have to know much about, or even
appreciate horses/english riding to realize how AWESOME
those horses and riders are! i will never again tell myself
i am a good rider until i can untack while cantering
and go over a jump, holding my saddle over my head.
and that may seem rediculous, but just watch the video.
i am seriously drooling with envy @ their riding skills.
so, i have a lot of time to read at my new job.
and have been going through some books pretty fast.

starting to get into the "disturbing" genre
and am [sadly] inspired.
i have always wanted to write a book,
and have kindof leaned toward humor...
but am starting to feel like something
dark would be a lot funner.
just because i am so haunted and my mind
just normally turns to dark things and feelings.
that sounds creepy, im not creepy...
but when my imagination starts up,
i can't stop it, sometimes
and while im telling myself something isnt real,
at the same time, i cant stop myself from
being afraid. of what? i dont even know
most of the time.

so, though i am quite funny ;]
i think if i let my imagination run wild
on something like that...it could come out
significantly better than something forced.
i might end up having trouble sleeping but uh,
whatever. haha.
maybe i will put both aspect into it...
make it something creepy and humorous
at the same time. not childish, but
maybe something just very twisted.


i'll start writing down my random ideas.

other than that, i plan on starting
my half sleeve early this summer.
it will be amazingly wonderful,
and though ive always said i would never get colored
tattoos...ive changed my mind and i think it
will be better this way.





TO OZ!
soo today is my day off and my boo is in the pitts
seeing cursive with michael.

ahh, what more could i ask for?
do i care that i can't lose more than 10lbs unless
i start to starve myself [or so it seems] NO!
haha.

MY LIFE IS GOOD.

i love my boyfriend.
i truly love him.
i look over at him every morning and smile
i kiss him goodbye and just want to climb
back in bed with him, no matter how good of
a day is promised. how did this happen?
it's been almost 2 years...
i can't believe.
but like he said...
the fact that we haven't even noticed is a good thing, right?
that the time is flying, that we dont remember
all that we've fought about.
it's weird but why fight it?
i've never had this and i am opening my arms and my heart.
i've generally always been happy here.
but now things are perfect.
i love how he looks at me.
i love the stupid things we do,
and i love the feeling i have,
i feel free and happy and
like i can do anything.

okay enough mush.


i love my job, i have money in the bank,
my life is looking great right about now.
i know that never lasts forever...
that every aspect of your life feels perfect
but for now, i'll take it;
and when i'm feeling down in the future,
i'll remember it.
i won't give up because i know this rollercoaster
always climbs back up to the top of the tallest hill.

i feel good.





and i just finished a book about judy garland.
god, i love her.



C'MON GET HAPPY!







going to walk shooter.

also,

i did not get petey.
i am not sure why,
but reading all of their adoption stories
it seems like they cater to people who are
"stay-at-home parents" ...not saying there is
anything wrong with that, not at all;
but there are people who work out of home
and make enough money to handle the sometimes
costly vet bills for a rescue dog.
and petey's profile even said he
probably wouldn't do well with a stay at home
parent anyways. but...whatever.
since my tax refund will be heftier
[MUCH!] than expected, i think i will
buy a puppy. [this is if derek buys the house]
because he said i can get a puppy if he
moves into a house so we have more room.
we are going to look at the house on thursday...
well, the inside- we saw the outside.
i know of a litter due to come home late june.
so if he does buy this house, i WILL buy a frenchie pup...
if he doesn't then i will just have to wait!
or move back with my sister [eh]
or get my own apartment [mehbeh.]

but until i do get my own, i will still look at
all the adoptable froggies and read all the froggie
blogs and google french bulldog pictures and so on
and so forth.

hey you guyzzz.

this almost made me cry and i'm not even PMSing.

my how they grow.

then.



now.






awww. i love her fat belly.

the lady who was going to buy her does not want
her anymore. because she doesn't want a dog that big.
she wants a little 5lb yorkie or something.
so she is still for sale! and her brother is still at home, too.

awesome. who wants to do this with me?




update;
look at videos by Improv Everywhere on youtube...
i can't stop watching them!
"i cannot imagine a god who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a god, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. neither can i believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism." [Einstein]

ahhlalala

it's my day off! finally.
i don't have time for anything during
the week! i can't wait til i am done at
tops so i can have my weekends.
and i can't wait til the weather is nice.
if it ever gets nice...

petey is pending, meaning
they aren't taking anymore applications
and they are reviewing the ones they have.
the wait will probably be weeks-months.
i look at his picture everyday! haha.
:] i'm a dork.


also, my grandma's friend has a house for sale
and said he'd give derek a REALLY good deal.
so we're going to check that out...when the weather is not
SNOW SNOW SNOW. well, we can only see the outside
until my grandpa contacts his friend to get us
inside. the guy selling it moved to florida
and doesn't want to come back. that's why he's
selling the house. haha i don't blame him.

the best thing that ever happened to me...
i got a "dresser" here. not really the best thing...
but OMG i have somewhere to put my clothes. it's really
nice. and i can actually find all my underwear!

they are doing a "biggest loser" contest at tops
and i think i might join. it goes by percentage lost,
not lbs. and the prize money right now is at $700.
it'll go up if other people join. so... i think i just might.


ugh i don't even know what to write, really.
this is why i like twitter...i just text what i am thinking.
with this i have to sit down and unless i have something useful
to say then i really just blabber on.


i'm going to start dogwalking. on weekends, after i'm out
of tops. so... MORE DOGS YAY!






both sides are done but i took these real quick...
more another time, i'm sure!

bzzzzzt.

shaving your own head is strangely empowering.

LAYYYYYLAAAAA!




<3<3<3<3<3

babygirrrrrrrrrl!

layla made a guest appearance today,
she usually only comes fridays!
i snuggled her and let her sit on my lap.
and she gives the best kisses.

derek and i are going to open a dog daycare.

because monday nights are date nights and you
get the whole 4 course meal for $58/couple.
very nice. YUM!

and today we went to my parents and fed
the puppies again. THEY ARE GETTING HUGE!
2 of them weigh over a pound already.
my favorite one i picked out is the fattest.
haha.
sophie is getting her surgery.
turns out her mammory gland was
so infected despite the medicine
she was taking that it died! so
she has to have it removed, and she
is also getting spayed so she
does not get pregnant again! poor
soph! but her babies are eating well
without her. :]

i am making goody bags for them to take with
them to their new homes. probably some training treats,
a picture of them when they were super tiny,
a chart with their weights...how fast they grew up.
a fisher's friends business card, of course!
a little toy. maybe a tiny kong for each of them.
i'm gonna get tiny bandannas from the groom shop
at work for them to wear home, too.
five pink, one blue! haha.
so cute.


welll derek is at band practice...
i'm gonna read and cuddle with shooter
until i fall asleep! then to work in the morning.
[i love my job. and no, i can't stop saying that]

ew.

it's 6 something. actually 7 something but
time went forward and that's really gay.
grrr. i want to go back to bed.
instead i am going to work!

but guess what! derek bought a new
bed set yesterday and he picks it up
friday. A BIGGER BED OMG. i can't wait
to snuggle in it. and it will be off
the ground. snugssnugssnugssnugs.
not that i don't like his bed now.
[kevin stuart, i love you!]
but, y'know.

ugh gotta go to work at TOPS now.
i'd rather be going to fisher's but...
whatcha gonna do?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.




[ROTFLOLing.....stuck in my head from
that comcast commercial! cant stop sayin it.]


in my dream i was at this girl's house i knew when
i was younger and she had a sweet dog and
somehow it ended up in allisons car when we left.
i was driving in front of allison in a bug convertible
lol and i was at a red light and it was like tv shaped...
when it turned green there were peace signs all over
and started playing the beatles. so for some reason
i started blasting the beatles and driving down the highway
holding the peace sign in the air. then i heard allison
calling my name and i didnt turn at first because i thought
she was going to tell me to put my hand down and make
fun of me haha but then i did and the dog was throwing
up and she was holding a cup up for it to puke in
and she wanted me to throw her my wastebasket.
i had a wastebasket near my feet in my car, weird.
so i pulled over and so did she and i gave it to her
and she was all like "its my fault, i fed him this and this"
and i was just happy we had the dog. we must have stolen it
but i don't remember that part.

that's when my alarm went off.





oh yeah, and my boo is going to be
in a spelling bee. <3
not joking.

i want

a french bulldog more than i have ever wanted
anything! i have completely fallen in love
with this breed. there really are no small
dog breeds that i am crazy for...but now
there is. i love fridays at work, because
layla is there. the frenchie. and i spoil
her. i can't help it. i squish her little
face and play with her. and she stands between my legs
on my sneakers and just looks up at me.
i wanted a puppy. but they are more
money than i can afford right now.
and i feel like i'd really rather rescue one.


i applied for a dog from upstate ny,
his name is petey and he is 5 years old.
it says he can be with submissive dogs...
and we all know shooter is beyond submissive hahaha.
poor shooter, he knows we love him.
i think he would love a brother, i really do.
we will see!

ah, my life.

is somewhat chaotic at times.
i have issues.
don't know what i would do without
my boo at my side. we can talk about
the strangest things and they
make sense to us.
COMPLETE SENSE.

we deserve a t.v. show, i think.
when he buys a house,he said we will get
more dogs. our boys!

i saw the design for our summer t-shirts at fisher's friends.

it says "NKJD" big,
and under that, small;
no kids just dogs


i love it.

there are small things in my life that drive
me crazy. but when i step back and look at
things for what they are as a whole...
i am so happy. i think we have
FINALLY crossed that bridge and taken
that step. i feel so close to him lately,
closer than i have before. he feels brand
new all over again. not that i ever
get tired of him. but...yaknow.





[shooter was grabbing my ponytail,
and don't worry derek is not choking him...
it was just bad timing with the camera haha]

<3

give me back that filet o fish. give me that fish.

sofa.

sophie's mammory gland[s] is infected.
she is very ill.
she went to the vet today and got medicines
but the puppies have to be bottle fed
from now on.
poor sofa worm.

soooo me&derek joined in the
activities, and will probably
need to do so as often as we can.







it was eating his nooose! <3

oh, btw.

THIS is my favorite picture of shooter that
i am taking to work.



because unless you have been with shooter
in his home, you don't know this shooter.
he has his "yeah, i'm a terror and i don't care"
face on. but he is posing at the same time
because he has to be the center of attention...
at all times.
i think this picture is shooter in a nutshell.


if you have only seen shooter OUTSIDE of his house,
you would think we beat him. he is a nervous wreck,
and will not go near anybody he does not know.
sometimes he won't even go near people he does know.
he will poop 10 times because he is scared poopless;
literally. he is a very strange dog.
but i couldn't see him being any other way.

life is good.

first off,

HAPPY FAT TUESDAY.
i have mad mardi gras
beads and nowhere to wear them!
fun fact; mardi gras
actually started in mobile, alabama
not new orleans!

on to my happy blog...

i am so pleased with my life right now.
soph has puppies, i have an awesome
boyfriend, and an awesome job,
and i can still horseback ride despite
my busy schedule.


i'm going to be riding on tuesdays
starting the first week of march.
yay.

so yesterday was my second full day at
fisher's friends and there's nothing i
don't like about this job!
there's even a coffee fund.
free coffee! [i got hot chocolate]
there is a note on the board to
take in pictures of our dogs.
i'm taking my most favorite picture
of shooter in, and i'm taking in
pictures of the puppies &moose&soph.
i'm having them printed @ walgreens so
they'll be nice. :]

today i am also going to buy
some prismacolor markers,
go to joanns,
go to the grocery store,
and maybe do laundry.
i have to cram everything into
one day! i keep telling myself
it's only 90 days!
then i'll have weekends,too.
just in time for summer.

my car tire is fixed but i am still
driving my dad's torrent. until he
feels like switching back lol.

i can't believe i got up at 9 on my day off!
haha this morning derek was leaving for work
and i thought i still heard him in the kitchen and
i went to grab my mardi gras beads and make sure
he wore some to work! but he was gone,
i think i was still half asleep haha.


well, i better get going.busy day.

ha.

you poor, pathetic soul.

flickr.

click here to see my pitchas!

ponies.

i miss being in shows so much.
i'm saving my money and showing ASAP.
&next time i'm at my parents i'm going
to dig out my old ribbons.

how could i even consider quitting riding?
it's a very big part of my heart.

i feel fine.

so, i've been back...only wrote once
about my vacation, i guess. haha.
well anyways i got home around 11
on thursday and derek picked me up
from the airport. flights were
very short and both were early.

then yesterday was my first day of work
at fisher's friends. it was great, i love it there.
and i was driving to mcdonalds on my lunch
and guess what, i had a flat tire i didn't
know about haha and it went totally flat
and the tire came off the rim so my grandfather
had to take me back to work and i'm driving
my dad's truck til my tire gets fixed.
but i am missing derek's show tonight because
my dad doesn't want to drive my car
downtown on a donut. then i'll have the truck
back after tonight.

derek&i went to see RAIN last night,
it was AWESOME! i loved it, and i want
to see it again. my dad&brother are going
tonight.
they had the songs spot on. it was so fun.
then today i went back to work @ tops,
and it went fast but ugh...the start
of my 6 day weeks. blah. whatever.
at least there is a riding spot open
on tuesdays [my only day off]
so i can ride then. woop.

and SOPHIE HAD HER PUPPIESSSS.
6 of them! all by herself!
the neighbor who was checking
in on her said he went there
early thursday morning and the
puppies were there!
so derek &i went to see them
thursday after we got back to his house
right after the airport.
i cleaned things up and OMG they
are so cute.

there are 2 white w. black spots,
one white w. grey spots
one grey
one tan
and one black.
TOO CUTE!
i'll get pics up when i get
some good ones of them.
they are only 2 days old so
they are not at their peak cuteness right now.
haha.

i bought shooter some fancy dog treats in alabama
that looked like cupcakes. haha
he loved them so much.



i'll post all my pictures/videsos in the
next post. i may even start a flickr,
just to get all of them in there,
and i won't have an infinite post of pictures.




k, going to relax for now.


-mints.

deep south.

didn't think we'd have internet here.
my grandparents have a laptop haha.


so now i can blog my experiences!

the ride was long but i slept a lot of the time,
we stopped overnight in kentucky.
my mom left a bag there [naturally]
so i guess they'll get that on the way home.
i was still really sick on the way here.
i'm better now because my grandma
had a whole bottle of amoxacilin [sp]
lucky me. :] feeling better today,
no more sore throat but still no
appetite, and still sleeping a lot.

i guess we drove all together about...20 hours.

so we finally got here about 5pm on valentines day.
today is sunday. this morning was wet, it rained last night
but my brothers and i went to the beach anyways really early
and fed the seagulls. we were scared of them at first.
then we came back up to the condo. i took a nap,
then we went to eat at about 11...we ate at FISH CAMP.
i got a burger. haha. my grandma insisted on bringing all scraps
back for her friend, who feeds these stray cats.
they aren't feral, though. and they were all spayed and neutered
and had their shots, bbut there was no room inthe shelter
so they were returned to the beach. beach kitties.

then we went go-karting on big woody. it was a sweet
go-kart course, but my car was way faster than everyone elses
so nobody could even catch up! and my dads was so slow that i caught up to him!
haha. then we got back to the condo and went skim boarding.
jake asked for a skim board so my mom bought one.
sooo we tried it out. pretty unsuccessful
and we fed the birds, again. i've developed a way to get
them inches from my face. haha.
if you throw it in the air to the ones looking at you,
they will come closer and closer. scary if you look at
their beaks but pretty cool when you see how they wait
for you to give it to them.

then we came back and i read my book and fell asleep
again...its the antibiotics fighting in my body.
i slept through dinner and games. they even tried
to wake me up and i didnt hear anything.

so i am up now, still no appetite except for cereal
and they only have 2% milk. [barf]
ill probably get a pop from the vending machine,
go back and read and fall asleep again, not a good way
to spend vacation but i am relaxing. ill be better by tomorrow,
im pretty sure of it.

not sure what we are doing tomorrow but i will try
to write about it, may not get around to it!
the weather today was about 67 and sunny! it was PERFECT.
not looking forward to coming back to cold but this
is nice while i have it!


also, in kentucky i got this travel book that
has an ad for the 2010 all equestrian games,
first time they're going to be in the U.S. ever!
in kentucky. im going to ask allison to go with
me, doesnt even say the dates yet, but my mom said
we probably have time share in lexington. that would
be awesome. couldnt stay all 16 days, but id like to see
the dressage and the showjumpping and maybe the vaulting.
ticket prices arent even posted yet.


okay im going to have a banana and text my boo.


goodnight!


-mints.

oh, my.

can't believe that plane crash last night.
we stayed up &watched it on the news.

STORY HERE


so sad. and LITERALLY, right down the street.
i can imagine that has to be one of the worst
and most frightening ways to die.
and the poor luck of that person who died,
whose house it landed on.
i think the rest of that family got out, though.

i can't even think of how scary it would be...


i wonder if my mom will let me fly home from
alabama by myself still... well she has to unless
she pays for my ticket. but im feeling kindof nervous
about it myself.
this is the second plane crash in a little more than
a week! except they all lived on one, they all
died on another. things like this don't happen
down the street from you!


:[

ugh.

i am soooo sick. and i have to work 8.5 hours tomorrow,
then go do laundry and pack and clean up my room
@ my sister's, and leave the next morning for
a very long ride down to alabama. i hope i am
feeling better by the morning.

thankfully i have a boo that buys me
chicken soup, orange juice
with lots of pulp, and
baja blast mountain dew [by request]

im going to sleep it off now...
and it's 9:00...

aaat last...

so last night i got some people to go to
olive garden for derek's bday, unknown to him.

so we got there and ate dinner w. joe, mike, and pat.
i invited a bunch of other people but they
couldn't come, but his 3 pretty much best
friends showed up so i was happy.
and joe brought a cake.

it was fun.

not as eventful as last year.
last year i took him to lasertron,
locked my keys in my car and his
car key opened my door! then we ate at
the melting pot. whew.

but this year was just as fun because it was a surprise.
:]

i have to work 11:30-8 today...SUUUUCKS! its going
to be sooo dead in floral by 8. and i have a sore
throat and a huge headache that will not go away.
and i never get headaches, its been there since
last night. :[

we're leaving early friday morning to alabamz,
should be there by saturday. then i am
flying back by myself on thursday, so i can go
to my first day of work the next day!
and we are also going to see rain after
i get out of work.
THE BEATLES EPERIENCE! HOLLA!


okay. thats about it.

is it just me or...

does it feel SO MUCH BETTER to just cry
while you are singing out loud to
your favorite songs?


it may not sound very pretty.
but close your eyes, get your ipod,
and cry about everything you have inside
of you, at the same time singing the
words to your favorite songs
out loud for everyone to hear.



you will almost feel better.

just for fun.

from alabama, but she said i can come on
my days off from tops until then,
because i have to give my 2 weeks.
my first day is this thursday.

it's 10 hour days, but i only work 4 days a week.
it's going to be awesome, i know it is.

one more thing.



i still love him.
gq named him best new designer of
the year. he finally has his own clothing
line!


but uh, yeah das ma boo.


[sorry nani.]

dreamsss.

had the weirdest dream last night
i can't remember the whole thing but i remember parts
of it.

i remember being in dereks bed and there was birdfood all over
the floor. then i saw that there was a cardinal in there, and
i had it on my finger and was feeding it birdfood from off the floor.
then i saw a pair of derek's jeans and i tried them on and
they fit me perfectly, but still too loose to wear...thats what i thought.
so i got up and started putting the birdseed in a bowl
and i didnt see the bird anywhere. then i saw it moving under the covers
and i let it out and fed it more birdseed.

then i remember i was at toys r us and there was a cash drawer sitting
on the counter and i took it to my car, took all the 20's out
and put them in my gym bag and took the drawer back in and said i found it
they wondered where the 20's were and i was like let me go check my car!
this army guy went through my gym bag and found them and i said,
oh they must have fallen out
while i was carrying the drawer in my bag to bring it back in here.
i don't know if they believed me or not but they let me go.


then i was in a city and some guy came crawling out of like
a sewer pipe and he was all bloody and stuff, and i followed
the sewer pipe back to where he came from.
[in my mind, i didn't physically go in there] and it was a street
so somehow i was on the street and talking to people.
then next thing i know we're in my old house and this
detective is handing me and other people those triangle
highlighters with the 3 colors on them. and told us to pick
our favorite color on there or something and she had us doing
all these things to like analyze us. and then i was a murder suspect,
and i didn't even know what was going on! i was like the main
suspect, too. then next thing i remember me and someone
who was smaller than me, i dont know who it was
were in this guys house and we were in the kitchen and
the living room was really really dark
and going down to the basement he had all this ice cream
in all kinds of crazy flavors. so i called derek to ask him
what kind he wanted. and then the whole house got dark
and for some reason i had a feeling bats were going to come
out of the hole in the ceiling in the living room, but
we heard growling coming from there so we ran out the door,
into his garage cos it was attached to his house and we didnt
know how to get out and i called derek and told him that
joe was trying to kill us
i never saw the guy but i knew his name was joe.

next thing i remember is my brother jake driving me to the movies
to meet derek. and i got some pecans out of the trunk and put them
in my hoodie pocket before jake pulled away. and i was looking
at the other snacks i could get at the concession. and this old lady
saw me eating my pecans out of my pocket and thought it was the
cutest thing ever. then i found derek and we ran into a dif.
movie for some reason, i'm not sure why...i think to get something
and then the lights started going down and we ran out really fast
and tried to find the theatre that our movie was in.

THEN i was on a boat with other people, again i don't
know who. and this crazy guy was trying to kill us i think but he
was being nice to us at the same time. he had this boat that went
underwater and the sides were glass so you could look at everything
around you. i was freaked out, i hate water. we were in the ocean, too.
and he was like "i can open the sides up and let the water in, too"
"you just have to hold on to the top" and i was flipping out like
just close your eyes and you wont see anything so you won't be scared.
but i was still scared. then i remember he came up above the water
and then the boat started sinking and me&the people i was with were
trapped behind a gate of some sort and these evil tomatoes were either
coming over the fence by themselves, or someone was throwing them
at us, but we had to keep throwing them back because
they would bite us, i think. and the fence kept getting higher
so it was getting harder to throw them over and i kept having to tell this
girl that they were not real tomatoes, because tomatoes grow
on vines, and she kept disagreeing with me.



and i think that's when i woke up.

soph.

is probably due around the time we will be in alabama.
:[ so she is staying with my mom's friend who
knows how to birth puppies. I WANTED TO BE THERE!
my mom told me to stop being dramatic as i pretty
much had her repeat this person's resume to me.
my little worm is havin' babies and i won't be here.
maybe she will wait for us...


so i hope i hear about the job today.
my second interview was cool.
i don't really want to say much about the
job right now because if i don't get it
i will be upset. but if i do, expect a really
long blog about how awesome my new job
is going to be.

right now i am reading an ann rule book
rage to kill, has a bunch of shorter stories in it
and i am also reading snuff by chuck palahniuk.
both good. i love chuck's books.

this is driving me crazy just waiting for a phone call.
i don't even know why i am, because that's how you get
dissapointed. i'm just hoping she calls today.
i'm gonna find some stuff to do to keep my mind off it
i'll probably do laundry and go to my grammas
and eat something and ahhhh.


went to a family superbowl party last night. blah.
very blah. but the food was good.
i left after halftime and that was my night.
so glad i have off today, though.
but i can't ride on friday morning for some
reason and i have to figure when i can ride
so i have to call my trainer and i hate
being on the phone. i dont know why.


allison got a pomeranian puppy for her dad.
he named him gibson after his guitar haha.
so now they have 3 dogs, 3 cats, and 1 bird.
and at her sisters across the street
they have a dog and a cat. i love it!


well im going to go eat and read and do things
before i drive myself mad waiting for this phone call
i have never wanted a job this bad! it's the most
amazing job EVER!
i know you haven't made your mind up yet...
but i would never do you wrong.
i've known it from the moment that we met,
no doubt in my mind where you belong.

morgan freeman does not want.

i've always admired him




i think he has a valid point,
and respect him for being
so honest.

LOVE!

so excited for alabama.

sophie is preggers! my little worm
is gonna have babies! yayyy! they will be
the cutest little coton malti-poos EVER!

so um anyways, my little brother is in love
and i think it is the cutest thing
it almost makes me tear up!





tell me they aren't adorable!
and he is wearing the shirt i bought him
for christmas.
ah to be young and in love?!
i never had the pleasure but i am
very happy for him.

obama nation!

this post has nothing to do with how happy i am
and proud to have obama as my president.


my dad took this. i am so
antm. lol.
i think it's a cool picture, though.


i dyed my hair.
derek helped me.
i didnt feel like waiting for
allison.
it's really dark.
but i like it.



happy birthday!

to edgar allen poe.

you are 200 today!

YES!

i will be in alabama february 13-19.
it may not be hot but it's alabama!
i guess shooter doesnt want me to lose weight.

in case anyone has ever wondered...
it's impossible to do any kind of exercise in
the same room as shooter.



IMPOSSIBLE.
i rode stoney today. and started EATING BETTER.
i am also taking slimquick.
we'll see if it does anything.


soooo stoney is great i love him.
when i went to pick his feet
he grabbed the back of my pants and pulled
them! LOL! i laughed so hard
and we were by ourselves.
then i scratched his forehead and
he fell asleep.

he was kinda fresh today because
he wasn't ridden in a couple days
and he was zoomzoomin.
i got a good workout, though.

then i went to work 2-6.
it sucked.
i did sudoku [almost] the entire time.


also, i have quit smoking.
:].

it's a new year, for sure.

note on table from boo.

"i went to visti[visit] my poppop
honey baby sweetie choconilla pie.

brb not sure when
LOLZ

zanga zaza."


LOL WHAT MORE COULD I ASK FORRRR!

recovering;

from a state of mush.

we just saw benjamin button,
and i cried. and cried.
i am very good at crying quietly.
from much experience of crying
too loudly.
it's sad that you can cry too loud.
it's one of the most powerful emotions.
the feeling you get when you try NOT
to cry. it's much harder than containing
happiness or anger. for me, anyways.
but i digress...
the movie was great.
and touching.

go see it.
you will cry.


-mints.

love.



i think they're awesome.

shooter&i danced to the whole album
this morning before i got dressed.

heez.

just ate @ the cheesecake factory with killa.
i missed her so much.
then she went to work and i drove home smiling.
i felt like i was going on a date,
because i was excited to see her after so
long.

hopefully we get to chill more asap.

-mints.
i am addicted to sudoku.
i had a short day today 8-330,
instead of 8-430. and it was
scheduled that way!
so i'm going to cuddle up in bed
and play sudoku until my boo gets home.

oy.

so i haven't written really in a few days.
had a really good ride on friday,
i rode monty again. i love him.
when i was getting him tacked up
and i was petting his face, he rested
his chin on my shoulder and just kept it there
til i moved. he is so sweet.

well then i realized i locked my keys
in my car. which is weird because i NEVER
lock my car @ riding.
so i had to call my dad, call derek at work,
have derek call my dad. my dad went and got
derek's house key from him @ work and came here
[i waited like an hour&a half]
to look for my spare car key but he couldnt
find it so he used all his tools he had
in his truck to try and open my door
and none of them worked!
[which is weird cos last winter derek's
car key opened MY car door.]
so then my dad drove me to tops, i ran in
&got dereks house key again cos my dad took
it back to him,
came in &found my spare, then my dad
drove me ALL the way back out to the farm
and i drove all the way to my sister's
to give her my "rent" and then i
drove back to derek's.
in my riding clothes the entire time.
and didn't eat until i got back here.
and even then, derek was all set up to
make a pizza, and i realized i left his
cookie pan @ my sister's. so i went and bought
him a pizza pan from tops &THEN we ate.
it was a rough day. lol.


mikki is on vacation so i have to "manage"
the floral dept. this week. i like when i have
all the responsibilities. i still have monday and
tuesday off though! nice! but i have to come in
friday after horseback riding... at 2.
i usually get back here @ 1:30ish so it's gonna
be a rush. and i'm gonna smell like ponies.
that's okay though.
still have to save for disney world!
hopefully we will be going this summer.

i would have really loved to show at the erie county
fair this year but i just don't think i'll be able to afford it.
i got rid of my show boots, and my jacket&shirt don't fit me anymore,
i need a show helmet [i actually need a new helmet in general],
and i would need new pants, because mine are just lesson pants.
all this not to mention the show&shipping fees, etc, etc.
not this year, i guess. unless my parents foot it,
i doubt it, though. i need too much. i'll just accumulate
my show gear over the next year when i have the money
to spend, and save money to show next year.
i should wait til i'm in better shape anyways haha.
i'm going to start jogging/walking at least once a week,
because i need more exercise than just riding one day a week.
and i think it will help my riding to be in better shape.
my legs are getting stronger again, though...
i can tell when i'm riding. yussss.


well i'mmm going to go play my ds.
&wait for my boo to get out of the shower.

-mints.

i've just realized something.

and it makes me sad.


okay well now i'm going to horseback
riding to ride&think about this.
