HOLY SHIT!!!!
when was the last time I went a whole freaking month without updating!?
well, alot had happened in this past month, alot of great stuff, though, really, it's prolly pretty dull to all of you...
so I'll just re-cap.
I started training on Birds of Prey which is as scary as it sounds
I trained on the Bird Show which is much much scarier than it sounds (I didnt screw up in front of my boss, points for me!)
I got Smokey and rat, who is getting bigger and bigger every day (probably all the chex I feed him.) He seemed lonely so I rescued another rat from the feeder bin (poor guy was gunna be snake chow) so now smokey and Maximus (who is really still a baby) are keeping each other company while I'm at work. I caught them snuggled together today when I came home, it was the cutest thing I've ever laid eyes on.
I've been real bad about calling people lately, so I'm sorry everyone. Dont feel bad, its not you, its me. With summer suddenly upon us and hurricane season, plus people quitting/getting fired, its been a hell of a month. Hopefully I will be back to normal for a while and not so damn tired. I have to say though, I'm having a blast.
theres just something fulfilling in knowing that you go out every day and work your ass off to get a paycheck and you can actually pay all your bills.... I dunno, maybe I've just been super spoiled all my life, but theres something great about supporting yourself.
and my job does kick ass. I dont have to wear makeup, and on certain days, I am encouraged to wear my bleach stained pants. My ready-time in the morning is about ten minutes. What could be better...
plus, really, I dont have to give a shit if my clothes get dirty. Its inevitable. Its just very freeing to know that a couple stains on your shirt are going to go unnoticed.
Nick is back at Notre Dame for the summer doing some research thing-a-ma-bob. He's getting paid $5,000 for it. Dont worry, I already yelled at him about that. Thats roughly a third of my yearly income for only two months of work. And its not work to him, its fun.... dork.
I told him I expect some nice shiny gift when I come up to the great Mitten in August. He chuckled and cruely reminded me that I owe him 500$.
and again, dork.
guess I cant blame the super-dorko-genious though, he has worked hard for it. and I love the big lug. (plus he might still get me something shiny.)
No, I'm not coming home for Camp Dearborn, and dont even bring it up because I'll probably cry. I havent missed a year at Camp D since I was BORN..... 20 friggin years, and now I've got to miss it!? I chewed Robin out for that one, beleive me, but since she signs my paychecks, it didnt do too much good.
I will be coming home in August, probably the third week, I'll get back to you on dates once I know more myself. I am hoping to visit everyone up in Mt. Pleasant if you are all gunna be there? let me know.
anywho, I guess thats all I have for now.
I'm babysitting so I should probably make sure Amelia's not getting into the knives or anything.
