I'm a lucky girl!

I was just sitting here reading some of John's past posts and I came across a few and I couldn't help but smile. When he first moved out here and he bragged about falling madly in love with the woman he met off the internet (me) and when I first met his parents and Sage didn't even bark at me. Those posts show that he's been crazy about me since the beginning and even though he doesn't brag as much anymore, I know he still loves me very much. He's been an angel to me while I've been out of commission for my wisdom teeth issues and then there was our anniversary. I know it's been 2 months since it happened but I never got to brag about it.

First, he sent me the most beautiful boquet of flowers to my work with stargazer lillies (my favorite flower) and roses in it with pink balloons. Then, when I got off work and went to get in my car, there was a box in my driver's seat with a card on it. When I opened it, there was an adorable skirt and a blouse along with a note telling me to meet him at Claim Jumper. There we had a nice dinner and he gave me a gorgeous rose quartz necklace. I felt like a princess for the night! I've never had anyone put so much thought and effort into a present for me. It truly made me feel like the most important person in his eyes. Gosh, I love him so much!

Well, I guess I'll stop bragging about this mushy stuff. Talk to you soon!

The pain sucks but the free time is nice

I have been sitting here for about 48 hours in and out of pain and sleep and in a wierd way it's actually kinda nice. I've gotten to play some Okami which I've been meaning to do for a few months now, I've read some OOTS and I've spent some quality time with Jadin, John and the newest addition to our family, Roxie. She adopted us last weekend (yes, she adopted us) and it's been an interesting week since. I've been working my butt off so I've only been able to spend a few minutes in the mornings and about a half hour in the evenings with her so I feel like I'm not establishing a good bond with her. On the other hand, John has been there for her so much. She was a little ill when we got her so he's been giving her medicine and checking on her regularly and just being a wonderful "dad". Another issue is Jadin. She can be so jealous at times so I need to focus a lot of attention on her so she doesn't think she's being replaced by the kitten. Being home has made it easier to spend time with both and I like it. Another nice thing is being here when we let Roxie out of her little room so she can play and get used to the place and Jadin. It's so much fun to watch them play. They will chase eachother around and when Jadin gets tired, Roxie will run by and smack her tail to try and get her to play more. It's just absolutely adorable! I guess I'll stop gushing about the cats now and take my pain meds and go back to sleep. I'll write again soon!

I might as well post again...

Since someone decided to point me out in their blog saying I've been on them to update I guess I should myself. Plus, I just got my wisdom teeth out yesterday so I have nothing but time on my hands right now.

First off, I'd like to tell all of you who've had their wisdom teeth pulled and been fine the next day that I envy you! I've had nothing but complications. My veins were too small so it took them 5 minutes to even get the iv in me so they could put me to sleep. Next, my mouth was too small so they stretched it out and I have 2 cracks on each side of my mouth (1 above and 1 below the corner of my mouth) and they hurt pretty bad. Then we find out that the dentist diagnosed it wrong. She said my wisdom teeth were only impacted with soft tissue (pretty much just my gums) which was not the case. They were all impacted by bone. The roots of the bottom ones were touching the nerve that controls feeling to my lips and tongue so for most of the day my tongue and bottom lip were numb because of them bothering that nerve. Here's the best part. My top 2 were growing at about a 45 degree angle but back towards my jaw and the root was too close to my back molars to be able to remove them from there so they had to stretch my mouth even farther open to remove them from the backside. After they let me go and give me an off work notice for a week we headed to the pharmacy. They tell me that they are a few days behind in filling prescriptions so it'll take quite a while and I started crying which I guess made them feel bad cause they started filling them right then. Once I got home I kept hurting myself when I'd try and put new gauze in or when I'd try and drink anything. Today I'm doing a little better but I'm still in a ton of pain cause I tried to talk too much yesterday so now I'm stuck sitting here with a ton on my mind and not able to tell anyone. Oh well I guess it's for the best. I'm gonna go now and try and get some sleep but you should expect some more posts from me over the next few days.

New Year, New Post

It's hard to imagine that this time last year I was overwhelmed with free time. I would be off work by like 2 most days and just go home to my roommate and watch Desperate Housewives and spend hours playing with my myspace page and ripping my hundreds of cds to my computer. I would go on a date every now and again but for the most part I just enjoyed spending time with friends. My place was always clean and my laundry was always done. Now days things are far from that. I don't get off work until after 6 and when I get home, I eat dinner, try to relax and then go to bed. I don't have the roommate anymore but I do have a wonderful boyfriend who I have a lot more fun with and if I beg and plead enough, he'll watch Desperate Housewives with me. I check my myspace once every 2 weeks and who knows when the last time was that I updated it. I've been trying to put all my music into playlists but that task started 6 months ago and hasn't been touched since. My days off are spent either scrubbing my place from top to bottom and trying to get most of my laundry accomplished (if only to have clothes for the week) or stressing about how I need to do all that. Don't get me wrong, I like the extra money from working so much but what I wouldn't give for more time to play Rock Band, Star Wars, Kingdom Hearts and move from easy to medium on Guitar Hero. Even more, I'd like to write on here more often, update my myspace more and finally get those playlists made. I'd also like enough time to work out and actually plan out my meals so I can start losing weight and being healthier. Maybe my goals are just to far out of reach. Maybe I should just take comfort in being in the arms of the one I love as often as I am and sleep well knowing my bills are getting paid and I have enough money to buy all those games, even if I don't get to play them.

Hmmm...

I know it's been a while since I've last posted. I've been using my myspace blog because I wanted certain people to read my entries and they don't know this blog exists.

Not too much new has been going on in my life. I was working a lot, went wine tasting for the first time, got a new car and spent a lot of time with John. Oh yea and the big one, got my ex fired from work.

Now, don't go thinking I'm just a horrible person who wants my ex miserable cause that it definitely not the case here! You see, we work together (well, I guess it's worked now) at a company owned by his brother. I had been with the company a year before he came along. In short, we started dating, we had a pretty rocky relationship that jeopardized my job many times and then 2 1/2 years later we were through. Well, him and I continued to be friends because it just seemed like the best thing to do since we had to see eachother all the time. Recently though, he'd been acting real strange. Rapid weight loss, I'd catch him drinking in his truck on lunch breaks and money started coming up missing from our satellite store when he'd be there alone. He admitted to me that he had taken the money cause he was having a rough time but he would put it back. Finally his brother came to me because he was noticing a change and I told him everything that I knew. I don't think he quite believed me. He would make excuses for why money was gone or why his brother smelled of alcohol during work. Well, one day I noticed a large amount of money missing and had to tell the boss. We did some research and everything pointed at my ex. When they questioned him, he admitted to it and was immediately terminated. I've been having a hard time with it too. To see someone I was once so close to be at such a low that he would steal from his own family is very hard. I've been working every day to just move on and get past this whole thing but it's hard. Lucky for me, John has been so amazing and it helps me see even more why I'm so glad I have him and my ex is long gone.

Corruption

To start out I'd like to say yay for me. This post makes number 4 this month which means I've met my goal.

Anywhoo. On to what I came to write about.

I have been corrupted. I didn't really notice it at first but now it's becoming more and more obvious to me and I don't know what to do about it. When I met John, I considered myself somewhat normal. I spent my time shopping, listening to music, watching movies and hanging out with friends. I now own a Wii and am constantly buying games and accessories for it. I sat in on a D&D game with John and his friends and I'm now seriously contemplating joining them in playing. I have started reading OOTS and am actually really into it. Last week I went into a comic book store by myself and at my own will. Then, last night as I'm sitting there reading OOTS, John puts in Kingdom Hearts 2 and I find myself drawn to it. I could hardly keep my eyes on my book and the scariest part is that I can't wait to get home so I can download the song from the opening where it recaps the previous game. I guess there are worse things that I could have been corrupted into. The thing is, I'm not even sure if I'm truly upset about it or just in shock over the realization. Maybe I had this geeky side to me all along and it's finally out in the open. Hmmm.

Soooo...

These past few weeks have been pretty hectic!

One of my friends from work had a heart attack and ended up having a triple bypass. He just got discharged today so I am very happy.

A close family friend ended up in the hospital and on life support. He is doing good now and if he isn't already, should be going home soon.

John moved to Colton. YAY!

I had an interview and it went pretty good. I have a trial run on Friday but more than likely I will be taking the job.

So that's what has been going on. I'll post more when things have calmed down a bit.
