Smoking

I have tried to quit smoking several times over the past five years. Obviously unsuccessful if I am trying to quit once again. usually its not too hard for me to give up initially but then a few weeks or so in I get sick of not being able to smoke when I want (usually when I am anxious). I have decided against using patches (they make me sick), gum (it makes me sick too) or pills (I don't like the idea of the suicidal side effect) so instead I use menthol cough drops, sun flower seeds, and drink lots of water! I quit this last Sunday somewhat on a whim. I had been planning to try again soon but Sunday morning I lit up the last of my pack and said to myself ya know what this is it you are going to quit. I haven't had one since and while I am proud of myself today has been rough with some serious withdrawal symptoms. Lovely bf is going to quit too he is suppose to be not smoking anymore when I pick him up from the airport tomorrow. I think it's very sweet he is going to try to stop too because I don't know that I could stop with another smoker in the house. Wish me luck and patience!

3 more days!

So my boyfriend come home in three days! I super can't wait. I think it's the hardest when its so close to when he gets home. All that anticipation ya know. Spending the other week at home with my parents was really nice. The gem show was in town so I got lots of neat stuff there and spent most of my week relaxing and hanging out with my little fur sis dedra and chunky.

I started work last week and I'm not gonna lie I was really nervous! Getting up at 3 to be to work by 4 is scary lol but I actually dont have to much trouble doing it and I like the fact that I am around like 10 and can start my day or take a nap ;)

One less day to go

I know I haven't up dated in a little while so here is a mini update

I'm down to 18 days till boyfriend gets home!!! yay!

I fly to Tucson on Wednesday night for a few days to visit mommy, daddy, and friends.

I come home Monday and get to be stupid girls with S because her bf will be gone for Vday too.

Tomorrow I need to do massive homework and cleaning and other house girlfriend duties

Our First Date

Well you may know that I met my lovely boy on New Years Eve 2010...and funny as it sounds we have never been on a real date. I guess thats what happens when you fall in love long distance you just kinda see eachother when you can and who cares if its a "date". So This New Years Eve he took me on our first date ^_^

It started at the Aquarium

Then it got very cold (thats says -1)

next we got all fancy and went to the pub I warn the series of pictures to follow goes from sober to drunk

So all and all it was the best most perfectest first date ever <3

here is a mini video from the ray petting pools ;)

Home?

I am still getting used to calling Albuquerque home. We left Colorado after a fun filled week with the bf's family and returned home to the kitties who missed us terribly. We had a good time in colorado and spent new years together. New Years is sort of our anniversary so bf took me to the aquarium (our first date) in colorado which was awesome we had dinner there and then went to a little brewery for drinks and our midnight kisses! Of course just my luck upon returning home I caught a nasty cold and have been spending time trying to stay warm and recuperate. I was planning a menu list for the next few weeks so that I could make some awesome dinners when, bf returned home from work with some not so awesome news. It looks like the training he was going to be doing in march got moved up and he is leaving Monday for six weeks. Then of course monday came and his flight was canceled YAY! but he still had to leave eventually and left Wednesday. =( Not exactly how I had planned things kinda hard knowing I am going to be in this new place alone for the next month and a half but I have to make the best of it and just remember it's only six weeks and then he will be back home with me. Talk about a rough break. Sigh. Well looks like I'll be spending the next few weeks looking for a job and trying to get started in school which starts on the eighteenth. At least I will have things to keep me busy.

I'm here!

So I made it! I've been in Albuquerque for almost two weeks now. I am all unpacked and mostly settled in and the cats are adjusting pretty well to life.

I left on the 14th of December and the drive was long and tiring and the cats had a fun scare with the boarder patrol dog who got to sniff their carriers.Other than that I made it here okay and spent a week unpacking and getting things ready for boyfriends parents and sister to get here. They got here on the 23rd and it's now the 26th. It was my first Christmas without any of my family but it was okay I only got a little teary eyed right before bed. Wish I would have though of it and I could have taken some pictures of the awesome food I cooked. I did breakfast casserole and coffee cake for breakfast and I made the chocolate and apple pies for dessert. We had a good Christmas and I got lots of awesome stuff for cooking. Mostly I got cooking stuff LOL but it was cool I got a lot of stuff I needed and wanted so that I can learn to be a good cook someday and BF's sister got me the hello Kitty toaster you know the one that toasts her face into the bread! Yeah pretty excited about that one! =) well this seems like a pretty decent update so I'm gonna wrap it up. Headed to colorado tomorrow for a week should be fun and cold =P

My Adventure!

Well that's it there's no turning back...okay if i really wanted to I could change my mind but I would have to be insane to do that. I've turned in my notice at work and the move is less than a month away! I can't wait!!

My sister is here and I have a yucky cold. I'm super medicating myself in hopes I will be better soon though.

I'm writing a blog at school during Astronomy because they are going over the test and I pretty much feel like everyone is being a cry baby because they didn't study so they got crappy grades. I got a crappy grade but I don't feel like crying about it.

However I do feel like crying about the fact that I work for a bunch of jerks and they seem to feel that it is absolutely unnecessary to ever give me time off so that I can visit my boyfriend. I am supposed to leave either tonight or tomorrow to go see my love but work has made every effort possible to fuck me over so that I cannot get my shift covered Friday. Now Bobby has been very accommodating and comes to see me when work wont give me the time off but I am about to move to this new city in a new state and Id kinda like to go spend sometime getting used to it before It's time for me to actually move. Unreasonable I know. Sigh well I'm going to go back to paying attention to my teacher. btw 36 days!!! ^_^

So much change

There are so many things going on in such a short time.

Sister is coming to visit in a few weeks and I couldn't be more thrilled. She is probably my best friend in the whole world so I am really excited to get to see her for a week and then they will be living in the states again so I can just hop on a plane for a few hours and crash her house =).


Other than that the big move is coming up in 41 days! I have lots of insane school work to do. Which is somewhat stressing because I know if the move is in 41 days then my finals are in about 38ish and my big projects are only about two weeks or so away. Time to get down to the grind...
