Black Friday

Well yesterday was Thanksgiving. For the past two years when I worked at the kennel I had to work Thanksgiving. So it was really nice to have the day off with some family. It was a small gathering, Just Robby, his dad, and I. And of course little Miss Sydney. To me it really does not matter how many people you are with during the holiday. It is the together time that matters. And we had a really great day.

Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving I went shopping for all of my dinner ingredients with Robby’s mom. I actually was a fun experience (minus the multiple people that slammed into my arm at the store). We went back to Robby’s dad’s condo (he has a way better kitchen then I do) and prepped some of the food. I had a pretty fun time and it made me forget about some of the crappy things that have been happening to me.

Our Thanksgiving feast consisted of: Sweet and sour meatballs, homemade oven baked macaroni and cheese, garlic and cream cheese mashed potatoes, corn, rolls, and a salad. It was not your traditional Thanksgiving feast, But who cares! It was wonderful! And let’s not forget my homemade peanut butter cookies that were fabulous! It was a great meal and my fist holiday meal that I prepared myself.

My animals are doing good. The cats still hate Sydney’s guts. It will be a very long time till they learn to tolerate each other. But at least Sydney does not have any new wounds on her face from the cats haha. Sydney has almost doubled in size since I brought her home. And has gained over twelve pounds which is wonderful considering how thin she was. And as for the horse I have officially changed his name. I realized when I named him I didn’t give any thought to his name and just gave him a quick name that I came up with on the spot. So with some major thinking I have changed him name to Ferris after one of my favorite movies “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off”. Now he has a new name and a new attitude which is wonderful news for me. He is really coming around and I’m starting to fall in love with him finally. I did not think I can love another horse after I lost Fen. But it is slowly happening.

Today is black Friday. Which it the most hectic holiday shopping day of the year. People get up at the crack of dawn and shop till they drop, or shop till their credit cards are maxed out. Either way it’s a lot of shopping. I try to do most of my shopping online to avoid all the mayhem. Which for the most part works. But I find myself in a mall for the forgotten things. People are just nuts around this time of year.

Well things are starting to look up for me. But I still wish I was in LA. Oh well.

Talk to y’all later.

It’s Beginning To Look a lot Like The Holidays

Hello. Nothing interesting going on with me. My mood is improving though. I am not as depressed as I have been lately. I still miss Fen dearly. It has been over two months since I have lost him. Feels longer then that though. December would have been our two year anniversary together. I remember I got him exactly a week before Christmas. Ok enough with that before I get myself upset again.

But I seriously am starting to get the holiday fever. The other day when Robby and I were marketing I bought some fat free egg nog ice cream. I bet I was the first and only person at the store that would buy that haha. I see all the decorations all around me and it is driving me nuts. It is way to early to be this exited about Christmas. I just want it to be December already since so many things are happening that month. I am taking my driving test for the fourth time December 8th. And I am very nervous about it. But I have a strange feeling that this time I have it in the bag. I am by no means a bad driver, Robby can vouch for me. I just get really nervous when I take tests. I freeze up, end of story.

Then I am leaving December 22nd to see my friends and family in Los Angeles. I am supper exited that I am about to burst at the seams. I am bummed though that Robby will not get to go since he has to work. And I will be away from him, Sydney and Kooper for over five days. And since I have been living up here, they are all I have. But I am going to enjoy myself for sure.

Petco has dropped the ball again with my training. I am now almost nearly done with my workbook. I should have started my dog training instructor classes like over a month ago. I have no clue what’s going on. This would be a perfect job for me if they would freaking just start my training already. The bills won’t pay themselves. So I guess I will start my job hunt again. I just hope I get a job that I will enjoy somewhat. We shall see where that goes.

Toodles

Bleh

Well I wish I had more to report of all the things going on in my life but I really do not. Nothing has really changed. But I thought it was still necessary to blog about it since I have not written anything in over a week.

Only exiting thing is that I found a dog park that is a little over a mile away from my apartment. So if the weather permits I can take Sydney there to play and escape the many hours alone and bored in my apartment.

I still feel like I am all alone up here. I still have no friends or anything. And basically I have no family since Rob’s parents are so busy. And I am dead broke. And because of that I have not been to weightwatchers in two weeks. But I am still following the program at home. I am saving every spare dime I can get to buy Christmas presents for my family. Petco has not called me in over two weeks so I still have no clue what is going on there. Sigh.

I really wish I had something more interesting to say. I did however get my tickets to visit LA during Christmas time. So I am looking forward to that ever so much!
Well I guess that is it for today.
