trouble

I heard him doing this after I went to bed last night. He proudly showed off his destruction this morning. My favorite part is how he brought over his blue ball and dropped it in the box. Can you spot it? Someday I will live in a place where I have room to keep things put away....until then trouble reigns.

Great shot of my friend Niel today. He's so awesome.

It's 87 degrees already. I need to get a new job immediately. It feels like I'm in the jungle. I don't do tropics.

overheard by the fish tank

Man: do people ever try and bring their fishing poles in here?

Me: no.

Him: yeah that wouldn't be very fair since they are in a tank.

Yes, that's exactly why. Unfortunately this genius already reproduced.

happy fourth!

We celebrated the fourth, and my moms birthday by going to the Twins game (luckily we were in the shade), seeing my man Cuddyer hit a home run, and then going to the park to listen to the big band and then fireworks.

Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Only this time I have to be outside in it. The heat index is 107 degrees. I'm dying. Slowly. By roasting to death.

I have cried all my tears. For now.

I'm at work today, and I feel incredibly guilty about leaving him alone. Even tho he doesn't even respond most of the time.

Our appt is tomorrow night. It doesn't seem real. It really doesn't. My heart is broken.

Wow, life sure can change quickly. My healthy (as he could be), stable, and troublesome in a good way, kitty has turned into a kitty I barely recognize. I don't know why or how but he has taken a turn for the worst and there's nothing I can do except try and coax him to eat and hope he will magically snap out of it.

He is breaking my heart, I just want to take away his pain. I love him so much.

Adso.

Someone loves his cat carrier. I don't know how I got so lucky, that he has never put up a fight when the carrier comes out, and doesn't mind riding in the car.

Two days after I got him I brought him back to Gwood with me, and I was scared he would be car sick or something so I locked him in the carrier. He freaked out and threw himself against the wire door and it was so bad I thought he would break a tooth. So, I opened the door. He gave me a look, curled up on some laundry and has been fine with the car and his carrier ever since. This is a blessing, especially when he went through his surgeries and had to drive 2 hours both ways.

So while he may have some not so great qualities, he has some great ones too.

However, I do always leave his crate out for a couple days before and after I bring him anywhere, just to re-neutralize the carrier. I don't know if its necessary but it doesn't hurt!

King of Komfort

He stole my blanket, my toes are freezing......but who could disturb that? Seriously. No one.

I accidentally slept like 11 hours last night. And now I am feeling entirely unproductive. Meh.

Someone is a little bit tired from his big weekend. He is so happy to be back where he can relax. :) he loves going outside at Grandma's but he never fully relaxes when he is inside.

I will be nervous about his breathing all weekend but we made it to my parents. He loves to go outside here, and luckily it sounds like it will be cool enough that he can.

Vet tomorrow, I'm going to try bribing him with reddi whip to avoid some level of stress. We will see.....for obvious reasons he does not enjoy the vet.

I keep trying to tell him its a kitty vacation, but he just doesn't relax as well here.

Devil cat.

I have been on the phone my entire morning, and am currently still waiting for someone to return a call before u can make another one. So I woke the cat up from his all day nap and he attacked. Rahhh!

my first Sat off in months....

And I'm spending it reading the second Hunger Games book poolside, working on my tan. Worse ways to spend it, even if we got bad news this am.

seriously.

At work we have two trees in pots in the lobby of the visitor center.

I was (still am) working a rental and some guy comes up and asks me how the trees grow inside.

Uh, what? I didn't really know how to answer. I was like, well its a plant. Blank stare. It's in a pot? Oh, ok.

SERIOUSLY HOW IS THAT A SERIOUS QUESTION. have you never seen a plant grow inside?

Done! It's 1:30 am, but I couldn't put it down. Wow.

finally!

I finally am reading this, after hearing how amazing it was from....well, everyone! I started it before the movie this afternoon, and I swear I would have been willing to read through the movie (btw hangover 2 was funny, but not as great as number one).

I am currently on pg 200 already. I can't slow myself down, even though I know I will be bummed when I finish them, like with the last harry potter. However, I hope it doesn't make me bitter and jaded when the movie comes out like Twilight. However, these are already written one thousand times better than the twilight books.

tuckered

Took the cat outside for 45 mins to enjoy the nice cool, albeit windy, night. The amount of days he can go out are limited now, since he can't go out when its hot or even remotely humid.

Facebook

So today I deactivated Facebook. It was a long time coming, but there's been a series of things by certain friends that have given me heartache and animosity for quite a while now. I am not going to get into the details, because I still harbor the hope that someday we will be....friends.....again.

But ultimately I just don't like how cliquey and high school Facebook feels to me. Because of certain people. Well, why don't you just delete them you ask? Because they are supposed to be my friends! I can't delete a group as a whole. And until I decide what to do about it, I'm distance myself from the entire situation.

A perfect example of why I hate Facebook happened after I made my status that I was deleting Facebook to "focus on myself and the people important to me". Well the real reason is people have hurt my feelings and I hate that at 27 it feels like I'm in high-school. And mostly, I HATE THAT IT BOTHERS ME AT ALL.

But anyways, I went in to deactivate tonight and I saw someone.....(who I previously had no problem with) who made a passive aggressive status about how she "finds it so funny that people have to delete Facebook to focus on themselves, if youre that addicted you have a problem". I am paraphrasing, but seriously I about snapped. I did send her a message, but she won't get it because I deactivated my account, but holy hell. THAT IS THE REASON WHY RIGHT THERE. That passive aggressive petty bullshit is why. I didn't want to burn bridges, I didn't want to point fingers, I didn't want to make it about them. I didn't want to act like she just did. So I didn't say what I really wanted to in my status.

Chances are she will never read this, but someone can feel free to send her a link to this post. This isn't high-school. I wish you all the best in the world, but things like that? They alienate people. And if I have learned one thing its that you don't want to do that.

Maybe someday we will live in the same town. Or you will have a child who wants to be an attorney and I could give them a break. Or a job. Or we will meet again and have to be cordial. Well guess what? Now? It won't be. And I won't have it hanging over my head that someone doesn't like me because of something I said on Facebook. its time to grow up. To pointedly direct something at someone in such a way is well....we know what it is.

And it was the ultimate factor in de activation. And its sad, because I do have friends who I don't see and whose pictures I love seeing and cousins who just had babies, and friendswho live far away but....for now, this is right.

Until I figure out what to do about them, and how to deal with me, its gone. I don't like that things that shouldn't matter do, and people who shouldn't be able to hurt my feelings can. That girl? She didn't hurt them, she just emphasized I was doing the right thing. I didn't get the satisfaction of saying my piece to her on Facebook, but I'm doing it here.

Slightly hypocritical? Perhaps. But unlike Facebook, this is not a place where 578 of my closest "friends" are guaranteed to see my words. Likely, no one will. But I deserve to voice myself too.

GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

I am updating this blog, simply TO VENT. Because I AM PISSED OFF.

I ordered SUPER EXPENSIVE boots (that I loved!) a week and a half ago. Curious, as to why its taking to long to deliver them (because nothing ever takes this long unless its from another f*cking country), I finally called the co and asked. They informed me that THEY WERE DELIVERED 3 DAYS AFTER I ORDERED THEM. AKA, a week ago from today. UM....WHAT?

I live in an apartment building. Typically, if noone is there (WHICH btw, I WAS HERE ALL DAY LAST THURSDAY), ups/fedex/usps leaves a note on or in the mailbox, and then gives them to the office.

Ok, usually this works out fine.

HOWEVER, the company informed me that someone signed for them. OK? Well. Fedex never left me a fucking note, first of all. Second of all....HAVE THEY REALLY BEEN SITTING IN THE OFFICE FOR A GODDAMNED WEEK and noone felt the need to INFORM ME? Seriously?!?!

After getting off the phone, I thought, PERFECT, I will go check now, because the office is open until 6 on Thusdays, PRESUMABLY for those people who actually have real jobs and don't get home until after 5. So I traipse down there and GUESS WHAT? In typical Jo luck, the office decided this was THE PERFECT DAY TO LEAVE EARLY.

So, not only do I not know whether someone stole my perfect boots, that have been MIA for a week at this point, I get to SIT AND WONDER ALL NIGHT whether the office is just fucking stupid, or whether there's someone stylin' out there with 150 dollar boots.

SO, I have hated this place for quite a while now anyways, between the dirty low-lifes they have started letting move in here, the strange smells, the shit-tastic "central air" and the general disdain I have for having to wash my clothes with those low-lifes, so I'm going to say this. DO NOT MOVE INTO PARK POINTE APARTMENTS on Wynne Ave in St. Paul. I hope that someone googling finds this. DON'T DO IT.

I am gone. I was on the fence, but this is just the last straw.
