Five

Five years has came and went very quickly. Along the way I have learned a lot about myself and the world. Here is a low-down of what I consider to be my highlights of the past five years:

• Moved to Pocatello to go to ISU


• Lived in 4 different houses/apartments in Pocatello, one of which we nicknamed "Little Declo"


• Had roommate that was OBSSESED with the PowerPuff girls


• Lived off of beer and tortillas for a while


• Became Tracy's unofficial chaufer


• Had a horrible roommate experience that caused me to live on Abrey's couch for a few nights out of terror


• Had a great roommate experience with my lovely Lindsay


• Let the Super 8 consume my life


• Failed an entire semester of school because of my job


• Had some interesting non-relationship, relationships


• Learned I have a nack for managing people


• Became a concert junkie


• Came to the realization that shit follows me everywhere and I have to deal with it before I can move on to great things


• Vacationed in Seattle with Abrey and Brandon and fell in love with the place


• Vacationed in Arizona and decided that St. George could be a great place to live


• Struggled with my low self esteem


• Became a 'cryer'


• Developed ulcers because I hold my stress in


• Found a program that will enable me to work full time and become a Certified Hotel Administrator without having to leave my house


• Am in love with an amazing man


• Witnessed the after effects of a horrible car crash that still makes me cry to this day if I talk about it


• Became 'too open-minded for my own good'

I know there is more. I have a million stories about my experinces. I have learned a lot about myself and the only regrets I have include balancing school and work. Everything happens for a reason and I have become a strong, hard willed person, intelligent person.

Dentist

I had to go to the dentist today. They gave me five fillings and a root canal. You would think I am a hillbilly who doesn't brush her teeth....

Swine Flu VS. The 8

Apparently the swine flu has infected my staff, not really but they we are all calling it that. I have had two sick employees in a matter of 48 hours. If you will notice I am typing this at 4:35am because I am at work. I have been here since 7pm and don't get off for another few hours, then I have to turn around and come right back before 11am. Ugh. Plus my GM, whom I love dearly, is gone all week so I get to play GM! Yay for absent managers! The paycheck is the only thing keeping me here right now.

I also have to go to the dentist on Thursday, which happens to be my only day off this week. Cassaundra is the only person I know who gets jealous when other people go to the dentist. Freaky....

Mike still can't find a job. It has been almost five full months without a job. He had an interview the other day and we still haven't heard back. He has applied at literally every place in Pocatello. Maybe we should move and have better luck . . .

I am a pretty vocal person. Anyone that knows me can agree with this. Despite my normal communication skills, I am having a hard time pinpointing what is causing me to slip into a funk. I have absolutely nothing to say.
