Wow, my life is a roller coaster. Two weeks ago I lost my best buddy in the whole world. My dog Riley lost his battle with a tumor around his heart that we didn't even know existed. I've gotta say, it was the most traumatic experience I've ever encountered, and I hope to never have to face anything like that again.
My 25th birthday came and went. I had a blast. Karaoke and having Mr. Greengenes dedicate Total Eclipse of the Heart to me topped off a spectacular night. I don't know what was better - that night, or the previous weekend when they had Beyonce, Britney, GaGa night at Sisters! Talk about an amazing time...drinks, dancing and my favorite music ever...it doesn't get much better than that.
Work is crazy. We have three new aides. Kelley is awesome, and a huge help for me during the day. I could've totally handled working by myself - and I proved that for the two weeks that we were without a replacement for the girl that left abruptly - but not having to do everything all the time is a really great thing. Plus she's a really cool girl so it's not like I'm working with someone I hate or anything lol.
I feel like I'm getting closer to some people in my life, and drifting further away from others. I really shouldn't say I feel like I am because in reality I KNOW that I am. I had a huge blowout fight with one of my "friends" and after a little friendly advice from my boss, I've come to terms with the fact that I don't need him in my life. In the words of my boss, "no boy should ever make you cry...especially the week after your dog died." haha Stupid little shit like that makes me laugh.
Me and Al went down to the Wachovia Center for Flyers game 7 against Boston and it was absolutely amazing!!! We met up with AJ and Brenda and her hubbie, and share a wonderfully historic hockey game with a couple thousand people. I gotta say, it was one of the most exciting things I've ever been a part of. At points I was looking down on the ice expecting the game to be going on. It was such a great atmosphere and I'm so happy I went down for it. It also led to some pretty random (and hilarious) texts.
What else? Monday I'm going to the Phillies Phestival with Allison. I'm super excited, but I really don't have anyone I really feel I need to see this year. I got to see Werth the last time we went and it's next to impossible to get tickets for Howard, Utley, Hamels and the like. I know Al wants to see Victorino, and I'd like to see Ibanez (if I could be that lucky) but other than that I'm really just going for the experience this year.
I think I talked your ear off enough for the night. I know this entry was just a complete mishmosh of information and it doesn't flow at all (which kinda bothers me because I'm like anal writer girl and all) but it serves its' purpose. You're caught up in the musings of the life of Shannon haha. I'll talk to ya later. With love and chaos, Shannon
