Catching Up

I didn't realize it had been so long since the last time I posted anything.  A lot has happened since April.

At the end of July I lost my beloved Rocko to cancer.  I was with him when he passed.  I was thankful to the veterinarian, they even sent us a bereavement card.
In October we lost Merlin.  I wasn't there, I wish I had been with him.

At the end of July I finally started working.  I felt that was a good thing, emotionally.  It helped keep my mind off of losing Rocko, and Merlin's deteriorating state.  I worked at 3 different locations over the course of 3 days.  At the end of that I got called in for an interview in Bellevue.  Was offered the position, and what was a 2 month contract extended from August through Mid-January.

I've been trying to play catch up with my e-mails, reading, blogging, etc.  I'll try and post more specifically on the loss of my Border Collies sometime in the future.

This past week the whole family has been dealing with colds.  Thankfully, this time around, I really haven't been coughing.

National Infertility Awareness Week

This week, April 22nd-28th, is National Infertility Awareness Week.

Getting Fit for the Summer

This past fall and winter I was lazy.  First day this year to reach 70 and sunny.  I wore shorts today.

Website Idea

Chatting with a friend earlier gave me the idea to work on an idea for a website that I've had floating around in my mind for a little while.  My friend suggested that I work on a project while I'm searching for a job, something that I could show possible future employers like a portfolio of my work/capabilities.  My idea is that I want to make a page where people can find out what is offered at different local dance studios in regards to dance lessons.

New Year 2012

My 3 goals for 2012.
Find a full-time job with benefits
Get my room organized
Finish up my 2-year degree.

I'm wishing people would quit trying to break into our church. All these idiots are doing is setting off the alarm, which calls the police, and the alarm company calls my house to inform my dad that the alarm is going off. Since we live about 5 minutes away, my dad gets up, gets dressed, and heads over to the church to meet up with the police.
This irritates me because it wakes me up. Last week I was dealing with insomnia. This week I'm finally able to fall asleep at night, but then, due to ineptitude, I'm being woken up in the wee hours of the morning, and then woken up about an hour later when my dad gets back home.
