wish i could be... part of that world
So... for those of you that haven't heard.. remember me talking about my dog Maggie being in the hospital last week?
She died yesterday.
The vet thought she'd end up being okay, but she took a turn for the worse on Sunday and it wound up being liver failure. We could have put her through a bunch of surgeries, but there was no guarantee they'd work and they'd cost thousands of dollars. She was obviously in enough pain anyway... too much, rather. So we decided to just put her down.. it's weird- she was only 7 1/2. And I never really got close to a dog we had before, so... this is a little harder for me than I would have thought. But... we're in the process of finding another dog... and we're probably gonna go with a poodle of sorts.. definitely not a standard bc they're huge.. maybe a toy though? We'll see. But we're trying to find one within the next few days/week- since I'll be home for the next 3 weeks I'll be able to train it while everyone else is at school and then my mom can train it in the evenings.. that way I can still get close to it and it won't be like "Um, who's this stranger in my house?" when I come home from college. We'll see how it works out.
Aside from all that... this week's actually going to be busy- which I'm kind of glad about.. tonight I'm hanging out with Sarah and Margaret, tomorrow I'm going out with Julie, Thursday dinner and a movie with Jenn, Friday lunch with Mrs. Deidre, and Saturday morning I'm meeting up with Katie and some other people to see off the senior trip group and then possibly going to breakfast afterwards. And starting next Tuesday I get the house to myself!!! Yay!!!! (And hopefully by that time I'll have a puppy to occupy my time.)
So... last night night I watched She's The Man with some youth group girls at Miriam's... and it's pretty much hilarious (much better than I thought it would be)... the only problem being that- like most chick flicks- it reminded me of the fact that I've been single for almost two years now and... I kind of don't like it so much anymore. I mean it has its perks, but... the potential for loneliness really sucks. *sigh* I know God knows what He's doing, but... some days I really miss having a boyfriend. Oh well. Life goes on.
And on that note.. I need to go take a shower and possibly go help my mom out in her classroom.. *lack of excitement*

(And btw... for those of you who would comment and say "Don't worry, relationships are overrated, you're not missing anything..." please don't. I know your hearts are in the right place, but believe me- in the last 2 years I've heard that line SO much, and I don't really wanna hear it anymore. I know relationships can be a pain in the neck bc goodness knows I've experienced that, too... but one of these days the pain in the neck parts won't matter as much and I'll marry the guy. And.. frankly, that's a nicer thought than "BOO relationships are stupid." Maybe that's just me, idk. k the end.)
