Haha, I'm watching Animal Cops Phoenix, and there is a story about this guy who brought his puppy to the vet and the puppy had a broken leg, so the man walked out saying he would splint the leg himself because he wasn't going to pay the "outrageous" prices for the puppy. But they showed him walking out and then driving off in some fancy car-so he can afford the car, but the living puppy isn't worth it? What an idiot.

Ugh, is there no hope for some men? Today, at work, one of the regulars came in and she wasn't quite her usual happy self. It turns out she's had a rough few days; she found out that her husband is/was cheating on her, so she moved out. They have been married for a while and they have a really nice little girl who is about 8 or so. I feel so bad for her. Why do men do that? She just broke down and had tears in her eyes and said "I thought we were happy"

While her drink was being made (I had rang her up at the register) I wrote down my email address on a little card we have there and gave it to her-I told her if she ever needs to talk that she could email me. Even if she never does, she needs to know that people are here for her and that people care.

She was more worried about her daughter. She is so nice, I just can't believe it.

I just get so scared about my future-getting so far into a life and then something like that happening. The same with others I know...how do you go on from something like that. I mean, I know I would not stay in that relationship/marriage, but after you've built a life with someone and they just tear it apart...

Ahh. I'm sitting here, relaxing, I have a bit of a headache, but it's not too bad, I might take an Aleve in a bit so I can sleep. I work at 7:30 tomorrow, so I'm going to go to bed early. I'm actually looking forward to getting done with work so I can do some cleaning; nothing major, just some dusting and vacuuming.

I also need to get my hair trimmed-I might ask around work to see if anyone could do it for free (or for some baked goods hehe)

Ugh, headache is getting worse, so I think it's time for some Aleve, and then some reading!

New Year!

My facebook is deactivated!! I still feel the need to check my mail frequently-but I think it's more out of habit than anything else. So I'm hoping that will go away-and I won't feel the urge to check my email 50 times a day.

Anyway, I have to work at 11, so I should go and get ready for work. It's so ridiculous that I didn't get this weekend off for Sandberg Christmas. Ugh. I do need the money, but still.

Anyway, I'll probably write more when I get back from work. I do still have some cleaning to do....

So...it's been awhile since I last posted, so I thought I'd give an update. Today I don't work, so I'm cleaning today, it definitely needed it. Took out the garbage, did some vacuuming (going to finish in a bit) then washing the...like 5 dishes that I have, making my bed, and taking a shower before movie night. Laura and Theresa were tired after work today-since people were getting back from holiday travels and did all their shopping today...go figure. So we postponed movie night until next week-probably Monday again. So tonight I'm going to have my own movie night! I also need to work on putting people's information in my address book for when I shut down my facebook!! I'm getting really excited for it. I would do it early, but I still need to get people's info and then post mine for a couple days before I close it down.

I also want to give up soda for New Years...my reasoning is that it's pretty much just like alcohol-I don't need it. Although I think it will be much more difficult to give up than alcohol-because I never was too big of a drinker-unfortunately a few years ago I did go to parties and drink more than I felt comfortable with because that's what others were doing. But soda, I like the taste, and the caffeine, and the sweetness/sugar; so it will be more difficult.

Anyway, I should get back to cleaning so I can shower and then settle in for a relaxing night!

I just got back from seeing Avatar. I am literally speechless. I kinda want to say it's the best movie I've ever seen. James Cameron is my hero. Everything about it was amazing. I can't wait to see it again in the theater. This is what going to a movie is supposed to be. It was 3D too, so I was moving with them onscreen-that has never happened to me before-with any movie, 3D or otherwise.

It was simply beautiful, stunning, magnificent...*sigh*

This may sound silly or weird because it's "just a movie" But it really was amazing.

Update again...

I have 2 days off! I don't work until Saturday, then I work 4 days in a row and then not again until the 26th, so I'll have several days at home.

I'm going to see the movie Avatar tonight with Jessa, I'm really excited-that movie looks super good. Generally life is pretty boring right now, but it's nice to feel more laid back and relaxed-not so much like a roller coaster. It's nice to just glide smoothly, at least for awhile.

This may sound a little weird, but I've been thinking about my "dating life" and have been doing some thinking about courtship...since I feel more mature and "grown up" than I used to...which obviously comes with age, but I feel like I need to focus on myself, and I also feel like I'm ready to find my future husband-I feel ready to settle down, not do the casual dating thing.

I feel like....God is calling me to be closer to him. I'm trying to live to be a better person. I don't drink anymore, I don't smoke, I am REALLY trying not to swear. I'm trying to be more patient with people and circumstances and realize that I would not be given any task that I couldn't handle.

Anyway, I have some laundry and cleaning to do, so I should go. Can't wait for Christmas!!
