More Shopping...

Today I did more shopping, but on my own this time. It went well...I found a pair of Khakis that actually fit! I call the outing a large success!

Our Anniversary

So today is Chris and my anniversary. It marks five official years! I forgot and he didn't. That is not how this is suppose to work. I decided to make him dinner, whatever dinner he wanted to try and make up for it. He requested American Chop Suey. This is something I have never even heard of let alone tried it. So he gets me the ingredients a recipe found online. I begin and everything is okay...until I go to drain the beef i just cooked and half of it falls into the sink. SuperDeDuper. I then had to fix what I could according to the recipe of a meal that I have never even seen. Chris says it turned out fine and tasted just like it should have, we just had less of it. So I guess success? He got chocolate cake with peanut butter icing for dessert and it was delicious!!! :D

Shopping!

So this morning I went shopping...something I am not usually a fan of. I went with my mom and nana to Target and Kohls. I got very tired of shopping very quickly, but it ended up being a successful trip overall. I got several new outfits for work and two new pairs of shoes! Shoes are something I love shopping for! Somehow shoes fit me easily but clothes are difficult to fit my irregular body. I have wide shoulders and wide hips but a tiny waist so fitted shirts don't actually fit. Bleh, but oh well I got some cute clothes. Now "we" are making chocolate chip cookies. When I say "we" I mean my mom and dad...but you know, I am sitting in the kitchen "helping." :)

So when Gill comes to visit I want to go to the mall and go to New York and Co and Charolette Russe because I have no one else to go girlie shopping with me and I hate shopping. While we're there we can get some ice cream at Friendlys because it's in the mall! I'll just have to steer clear of the Vera Bradley store!!!

Poor Sanford

We had another Sanford scare Thursday. We were all packed and in the car with all three of the animals, ready to come to Apex for the weekend when all of a sudden at the gas station on the way out of town Sanford proceeded to sneeze blood and then have a nosebleed. Of course we immediately turned around to head to the vet. There was blood all of the car and me. Barney and Molly were great in all the commotion and stayed quiet in the back of the car. We headed to the vet and were there for about an hour before we had to head off to the emergency vet down the street. Our vet was closing at 7 and did what they could for Sanford, but his nose would not stop bleeding. The plan was to have him stay overnight at the emergency vet so they could keep him for observation. We get to the emergency vet and they were nice enough but of course his nose is still bleeding two hours later. By now he has lost a lot of blood and is shaking so we are still very worried about him. We said goodbye and left him there planning to pick him up Friday AM. I go home and get in the shower because I look as if I've murdered someone and passed out on the couch around 11. Chris was not able to sleep so he was up all night. He came in at 4:30 AM to tell me the ER Vet had just called and Sanford was okay. His nose stopped bleeding around 1:30 AMish (it had started bleeding around 5:30) so he lost a lot of blood. The vet said they were checking on him often, he didn't seem that hungry as he didn't all of his food but he was very talkative. That is good news for us since that is his usual MO. We picked up a hoarse Sanford at 7 on Friday morning. I decided to head onto Apex because I still have a lot to do here before the move. Chris stayed in Wilmington just in case Sanford needed to go back to the vet. We plan on coming back to Apex next weekend over Easter break and that will be the last time I plan on coming home until probably Christmas. :(

I have decided to keep up with the blog and post every few days, even if no one reads it, it is theraputic to get out thoughts and write!

I am super excited to see Gill and Phillip, we have our first play date in our new house already set!!! It will be the first weekend we're in the new house so things will still be messy but we'll have the fenced in backyard for the dogs to play in. We can't wait!

Gill is gone!

Gill is gone and I know I will totally call her at least twice to see if she wants to hang out...that sucks.

I'm worried about moving next May. As soon as finals are over I am leaving for Australia...that makes it very difficult to move. It doesn't help that we don't know where we'll be living. Apex is closer which makes it easier but Mass is where Chris wants to be so he'd be happier. *sigh* Everything must work out, it just will because I say so!

Gill is leaving :(

Gill is leaving tomorrow and I will have no one to hang out with! Of course I still have Chris, but we get to spend time together alllllllll the time, I need a girlfriend too! I wish I could explain to Molly that today and tomorrow are her last times to see Phillip so she should try to enjoy it and try not to get too frustrated with him. She is going to miss him so much even if she doesn't know it. Chris asked me today if I was going to cry tomorrow when Gill leaves. I know it's sad and corny but I probably will.

Chris went to see twilight!

So Chris went to see twilight without me. :( I'm sad, but he didn't like it...

SPOILER ALERT FOR TWILIGHT:

There were a few scenes I think they should have included in the movie...I wanted to see the part where Edward sits at a table by himself and smiles at Bella...and they talk and she learns about vampires. I also wanted to see Bella talk to Edward about he was dazzling the waitress and he looks her in the eyes and says "Do I dazzle you?" That would have made me happy! Hmm I also wanted Edward to tell Bella that he wrote the song for her, I don't feel like that would have been that difficult to add in. I kind of feel like they played up the part with James and left out parts that let you see the rise of Bella and Edward's relationship that become important later on in the next books. But even without these scenes, I still really enjoyed the movie. You should only go see the movie if you have read the books or you are in the mood for a fantastic love story about unconditional, un-understandable, strange, and beautiful love story.

My Pickle

So I am in a pickle. I am applying for two internships I am interested in but I can't decide what to do if I get them both. The first internship is in Hilton Head at Commander Zodiac. This is a tour place where they give tours around the marshes of Hilton Head and of the wild dolphins. I would be provided housing and work Mon-Fri with Sat and Sun off. The second internship is at Halyburton Park here in Wilmington. I would get to do a lot of program planning (which is what I am interested in). They do not provide housing and it is unpaid. I am given a $2000 stiffen which I would use to pay for my housing. I also would have to find somewhere to live for 14 weeks. I can't live on campus because the housing closes a week and a half before I would finish my internship. Such a dilemma...

My Snuggle Bunny

So I love my snuggle bunny (aka Barney) because he is super cute. I am super excited about going to Ohio because I will get to see all my family and it will be a blasty blast. I get to celebrate my 21st birthday and thanksgiving with them. I get to see all my family. Hooray!

Phillip!

Phillip is here for a week! So far so good. Phil and Barney have become best friends forever! Until Phil decided he didn't need two BFF so he was mean to Barney. Now he and Barney have gone back to BFF between the gate. They'll be better by tonight...
