Life is a Rollarcoaster baby

Ulcer gone- stomach still really really painful at umbilicus (bellybotton) when lightly pressed. forced to drink Barium contrast. ICK! CT of abdomin/pelvis= nothing, so no cancer. consult for a GI Dr. in august.

North Carolina in June- went with my parents, Stacey, and Jon. Jon still wants to marry me after that, lol! We rented a cottage 2blks from the beach, 3bed/2bath. It was cheap and we drove down. we sat around, tanned, swam, drank, ate, and played games all day. I needed that badly!

Work-is tons better. evaluations are done and the one employee that I thought would go apeshit on me, got shitty but I was able to control the convo well. kudos to me! set up my retirement account today- weird. it makes me feel old.

Ludington last weekend was fantastic! went with my parents, their high school friends, and their daughter with her new fiance. we sat around drinking playing Monkey Balls, eatting etc for 5 days. oh I went kayaking which was relaxing! I saw 2 families of swans, 1 family of geese, ducks, turtles, and doe and her calf. we were 5ft from the father swan!

wedding stuff. honestly I feel like I could barf! why? everyone I know is getting engaged! it must be this area and this age but FUCK! people engaged/married this year: Courtney, Mandy, Jenny, Jeanine, Allison, Meg, Steph, Laura, Sarah, Tim. All people I see on a frequent basis, which means we hear about wedding stuff constantly! yes it's a special thing but can we talk about something else! well back on that subject: we have a date and location- we think.

Humane society- 2 fridays ago Jon and I went to the humane society just to start looking, and we found the cutest little dog! our criteria: shorthaired, young, mediumsized female. she was a stray so we had to wait til monday to see if she gets found. Tuesday surgery then home with me. Tuesday morning- "I'm so sorry there was a mix up in paperwork, she was already adopted before you met her." fuckin hell! I cried, it was a bad day. Found out today that that particular society was shut down b/c of some illness spreading through had killed 3 dogs! not sure how I'd handle her dieing on me a week after bringing her home.

Making that Tuesday day worse, I received an email from the man who was on the motorcycle that accidently hit my friend Nikki and her fiance Joey back in Sept. They both died. He wanted forgiveness, but he wasn't speeding, under the influence, etc. I told him any one of us could have been in any of the 3 positions. I cried some more for him, for Nikki and Joey, for her mom, and for myself. When I'm planning wedding stuff all I can think about was that Nikki was doing this, she should be married by now....all day I cried it was really a mess, I think it had been pent up for months. Poor jon did the only thing he knew would make me feel better: backrubs and Sushi :)

I feel like I'm getting a better grasp on life again. This week I will set a date, put down the deposit, and next week set up a caterer. And I've decided to give Jon something to do. previously we were tackling things together but then decisions don't get made.

Miss you guys! it was so much easier in college even if I was eating Ramen and riding my bike to summer class b/c gas and the bus was too much $$$. where's my 40, Bid Like a Spaz, and Cottage Inn Pizza?
