Tomorrow morning I leave for Charleston to move to Sergeant Jasper... 8A!  However, I'm so apprehensive.  Daisy has not really improved.  Yeah she walks a little, but she falls more often than not.  She's got doggy depression.  Right now she's laying down looking up at me and her hind legs are shaking.  I love her more than anything in life.  She's my Daisy-Mae, my Beagle!  We've been close for 10 years.  Even though she's crazy scared of new people, she trusts me to make things better, she's crafty and smart.  I want to make it all better for her.  Take away her hurt, but I want her to get better.  Because she's 11, we cant opperate on her to fix it, we just have to pray that she improves.  However, if she doesn't mom said it's my decision to put her to sleep and that it's not fair to have her live like this if she doesn't improve.  How can I make a choice like that?  In spite of my love, it's not fair for her to be like this.  When that time comes, which it will eventually, even if its not from this, I don't know how I will handle it.  Daisy is my true friend even if she's just a dog... she's this woman's best friend!  Daisy-Mae, I love you!!

So, a few stressful things have happened recently.  My grandfather went into the hospital Thursday and was released today.  However, they kept giving him morphine which made him say some crazy things about cages and such.  It freaked me out to a degree.  As of today, I am the saddest girl though.  My beagle (Daisy, my favorite dog!) hurt herself getting out of my car yesterday when we got back from the vet.  Well, she was walking badly, then stopped waling all together.  So, my parents post-poned their trip to SC today and took her to the vet only to discover that one of her vertebrae is ruptured or something, so they synapse from her brain telling her hind-legs to move are connecting.  Hopefully she will improve this week, as she seems to be slowly doing.  If her disk slips more though, she will become paralyzed and then have to be put to sleep bc they vet won't operate on a dog that's 11 years old.  :( 
On a better note...  My job is so amazing.  Friday we had nothing to do, so we all played hangman and napped (ok, I napped while everyone else watched the paint dry!).  Monday, we had to spray 15 cans of Kilz (primer) on the walls of a non-ventilated hallway in the Lower School and everyone go really high.  After work was over, our noses were filled w/the white stuff (yuck) and there were 20 min breathing breaks every 5 min to allow us to take full-sized breaths.  Thursday, Katie and I are driving down to Charleston to move me into Sergeant Jasper and to go to the beach of course!  Yeah!  Also, the Bourne Supremacy, yeah its a good movie except for the camera shaking!  I must admit it was really fun to get Keith to buy tickets to another movie and sneak into the Bourne Supremacy bc it was sold out.  BTW- he was the only person I know who understood Big Fish from the beginning... 3 cool points for you for that!  Maybe that's enough of an update for now. 

Week in review

Whoa, I'm so confused, BLOGGER seems to have updated itself and now I can type in colors and new fonts!  Way cool!  Ok, so I know you all are so excited to hear about my week...

Last week I started working at AACS.  Though it could have been really weird to be back there for long periods of time, it has actually turned out really amazingly.  A bunch of people I know are there and I get to catch up w/them daily.  Painting is actually fun!  Who knew!?!?  Then Monday, as a group, we all went to see Dodgeball and Keith came along.  Then Wednesday, I had to lock myself in to study for the CALC 3 final exam.  Well, sweetest thing ever, Keith surprised me with a GIANT icecream sandwich, which he called Jen to find out that I'd like!  Major Props there!  Test went well!  Then Friday was "meet the family night"  and I dono what you think Keith, but I hope it went well!  I def liked the flowers and the walk at the club and to the pier, even if the lightening bug freaked me out like none-other.  Since then, I've just kinda been around.  Chilaxing.  Ok, time to go, not much eventful happened this week apparently.  Talk to ya'll later

I had the greatest weekend! Kristi and Leigh-Ann drove all the way up to Naptown to chill w/me! So cool of them. They got here on Thursday and we meet Katie to go mid-hunting and then Keith joined us downtown for icecream. It was so amazing to have them here. Friday we went to DC and got so lost, but we got stopped on the side of the road by what we thought was the President and his men (sorry, Katie said he was in PA!). Kristi really wanted to go to the museums so we did that and drove by the Lincoln Memorial quite a few times. Friday night we went to Cantlers where Katie and I ate a dozen delicious crabs... and Kristi and Leigh-Ann ordered hamburgers. Who gets hamburgers at Cantlers. gesh a whip! However, Kristi did try a few claws and managed to hit the lady behind her w/the crab claw. So funny, but so proud of her for trying! Then we got some good ol' Ritas! SO YUMMY!!!! Saturday we had lunch at Chick & Ruths and then came home and relaxed. Then at night, we picked up Keith and went to Bmore. Kristi informed me that Bmore is the location of the Boston Tea Party and the Chicago Fire... guess I learn something new everyday! Haha that was so funny. Had some dinner at Hard Rock and then listened to the band in the Harbour. It was such a great day. Actually, it was a great weekend. Loved seeing my friends and showing them my life here. Thanks guy for driving all the way up here and enduring the traffic on the way home. Cya soon!!!

It's been a crazy few days. I've been so busy, but it's all worth it! First, Forth of July was the single greatest day ever. So, Katie and I went downtown to watch the fireworks. While we were sitting outside of Phillips Jen calls. So we go meet her and some others bc they are downtown too. Everyone went onto the Naval Academy to watch the fireworks. Well Jon had saved us the best seats ever. They were on the turf field. So, there we were, like 5 feet from the entire new class of Midshipmen. We saw some that I knew and this guy, Matt, that Katie loves. It was so much fun. Dono whether I watched the fireworks or the mids more! :) haha
So, we have this new thing to do on Thursdays. Last week, Katie, mom and I went to dinner at El Torro Bravo and then Katie and I went to the Officer club at the academy to go "mid hunting." Only when we got there, there were no mids around so we walked FOREVER around the base.
Ok, Tomorrow will be the best day ever. 1) It's my last day of work at Nordstrom!!!! 2) Kristi and Leigh-Ann are coming!!!!
Maybe thats enough rambling for now. but til next time...

HAPPY FORTH OF JULY!!!

Going over to Katie's in a bit for her party. Quit Nordstrom today. 4 More days, and its over! Then I get to paint or whatever needs to be done around AACS! So the calc test went very badly, but on the plus side, Kristi and Leigh-Ann are coming Thursday! Heck ya. OK time to go
