That's just crazy talk!

I am seriously stumped on what to write about. The past couple of weeks I had so much going on and so I had a lot of stuff to write about. Now, there’s nothing. My life is boring and there really isn’t anything to update you on. :( I guess I’ll just randomly chat about things that pop into my head…

I’m still on my break from school and I’m enjoying every minute of it! I’ve actually been very lazy lately. All day Saturday and all day Sunday I just sat on my butt. I watched some movies, read my book, and even got a chance to take a nap! How nice is that! But this break will soon be ending. I will be back in school on Monday… There are a few perks to being back in school though. 1) Phil does most of the cooking so I have time to work on my homework when I get home; 2) Phil does most of the daily cleaning; and 3) I am just that much closer to being done and graduated!

My friend Jewells informed me that my dog’s sister (Misty) died recently. She was playing and was all excited and then just dropped dead. Sandy, Misty’s owner and I got our dogs for free because the family that had them couldn’t keep that many dogs anymore. Sandy thinks that she got the older of the two and I think I got the older of the two. So technically we don’t know who has the older dog and we don’t know what age they actually are. So, finding out that her dog just dropped dead because she got too excited scared me a little. Since I think my dog is the older of the two could the same thing happen to her? We assume that she is about 10-11 years old and I’ve heard that yorkies have a life span of 12-14 years. That’s sad to think that she might be gone soon… I always thought that I didn’t have to worry about her dying until she was old enough to not want to play anymore and wanted to lie around all day. But if Misty still seemed just fine and was still playing and everything can Precious die just like that too? I know it is silly to worry about something like this but I’ve just never heard about a dog that seems healthy to just drop dead.

That is about all that’s on my mind at the moment besides lunch so until next time…

So my dreams have been crushed once again… I have always been that type of person who has big dreams and high hopes for the future. I basically have my life planned out for myself already. I always said that I wanted a house by the time I was 22, wanted to be married by the time I was 23, wanted to start having kids by the time I was 26, etc, etc. (You get the point). Well, I’m 23 and I do NOT own my own house yet, I’m NOT married. I’m not even engaged yet. WTF… It has been 6 years in May and I’m not even engaged yet! WTF is up with that? Anyways, that is the least of my worries right now. First I want to get the house and that is not going my way right now. Phil and I had a talk a couple weeks ago about talking to lenders and starting to look for a house. The talk went very well so of course I get all excited and start doing my research and all that jazz right away! Two or three weeks go by and we finally have our first meeting with a lender. The meeting itself went pretty good. He said we are pre-approved and we can basically start looking for a house. He showed us two different loans that he thought would work for us. On one loan we would need a 3.5% down payment and the other we wouldn’t need any down payment. Phil liked the loan with the 3.5% down payment because otherwise we would be tacking another $6,000 to our loan if we didn’t have a down payment. That’s completely fine with me. After the meeting though we got into a huge, huge fight and long story short, he crushed my hopes of buying a house soon. He wanted to have 10% down payment plus extra money for a cushion in case something happened. I wanted no down payment and a house NOW. After two hours of arguing we finally came to a compromise. I would save my half of the down payment (which would be about $2,500 for a $150,000 house) and then we would start looking for a house. He of course has his half of the down payment plus a lot more so we are just waiting on me. I told him that once I get my half, we will start to look and he CANNOT go back on his word. He is very fussy about having a security blanket to fall back on and I obviously won’t have that. Once I have my half we will start looking and he cannot go back on his word just because I don’t have a security blanket in my savings. So the question is how long will it take me to save that much money? I have $550 saved already. Only $2,000 more to go! I would LOVE to get my half as soon as possible because I would want to buy a house before our lease is up in November and also before the free $8,000 from the government goes away in December. (That would be a pretty nice security blanket in case something happened.) Anyways, I just felt like bitching a little.

I'M FREE FROM SCHOOL FOR TWO WEEKS!!! I finished my last final on Saturday and now I get two weeks off to relax and not think about school! Yay! Looks like I ended up with an A in both classes. Go me! Next quarter I will have three classes instead of just two. I wanted to take four but the classes are only offered every other quarter so it didn’t work out that way. Now I won’t graduate until March of 2010. Oh well, what are three more months going to do? I guess the good thing is that I won’t be so stressed out. Four classes is a lot to handle when you work full time. Three I can handle just fine! Now, what am I going to do with myself for two weeks? I hope the weather gets nicer next week because I’d like to go on some walks. I think it will be much to cold this week since they are taking snow. I’m sick of being cold! At least we are done with the frigid temperatures….

This last weekend I had a very good time with my friends. Friday didn’t start off the greatest because I had to go to my Great Uncle Mort’s funeral. It was sad of course. After that I went out to lunch with my dad’s side of the family and it was actually quite nice! I usually don’t get along with that side of the family but it wasn’t so bad this time. After that Phil and I went out for dinner because Friday night is our date night. We had a lovely time at dinner and we went home and watched X-Men II.

Saturday I took my last final and then did a little spring cleaning. I took out all my summer clothes and put most of my winter jackets and sweaters away. I also got rid of two garbage bags of old clothes, shoes, and purses! Then I did the usual weekly cleaning. After that I went on a walk with my buddy Jewells and our dogs. Then we got back and watched our Gossip Girl episode we missed. We tried to watch Lost but my computer was being gay so we didn’t get to watch it. But I have it now! When are we going to watch it Jewells? Wednesday night maybe if you don’t work? Then Saturday night we had a poker party. I only won $4 of my $10 dollars back… Oh well, at least I had fun! We also played hack which I haven’t done in a long, long time!!! I suck. I sucked then and I suck even more now. But it is still fun!

Then on Sunday morning Lynsie came over and we watched Twilight! It wasn’t as good as the book but I still enjoyed it. I’m going to make Phil watch it with me later this week! I’m already excited for the next movie!! After the movie Lynsie and I just hung out until the boys were done playing paintball. They came back to my house and it looks like Max took the majority of the hits. Haha Phil only had a couple good welts. Maybe next time I will go with them. It might be fun… Would you other girls be interested in playing paintball with the boys sometime? I don’t want to be the only girl. They would gang up on me. :/

The last time I saw her at Christmas time she wasn't even walking. Now she cruises!

This is the first time JakieLynn didn't cry when Justen tried to hold her. She seems to like him now.

Well, that is all until next time. :-)
