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.

Update

This once a week update thing could easily become a habit...

I had to work the graveyard shift Friday and Saturday nights so needless to say my weekend was shot all to pieces. I really hate that shift because no one is around and I can't stand to be somewhere like that for eight hours and have little to no human interaction. I quite literally go crazy. My mind wanders and things start becoming something they never were in the first place. Yuck.

I saw my favorite live band ever on Friday night, before I worked my audit shift, Sugarcult. It was an awesome show but I got in a fight and that was not cool. Some girl bite my elbow. Seriously. Drew blood and bruised my elbow. She punched me in the head like four times and yanked my hair. I hit her in the face, and yanked her hair because that was all I could I reach. If I find her I will either kick her ass or slash her tires her both.

I am looking forward to Tuesday; as I usually do. Jayson comes into town and I get to kick butt at darts. I am becoming quite good, especially since Mike and Connie cleaned out the garage and I can actually make it to the dart board to practice!

I hurt all over and I can't sleep.

A Week In Review

I feel I need to constantly keep updating this....so here is my past week in a quick update!

The Dodge Rodeo was in Pocatello this week so the hotel was alive and extremely busy this week. Cowboys and such were everywhere. I felt a bit out numbered. Because of this, I had one kind-of day off. I usually take Tuesdays and get eight hours of catching up my important work and not have to worry about the desk. I didn't get that this week. Instead my Tuesday consisted of me getting paid to eat lunch and listen to the GM talk for forty minutes. Whatever. Lame.

Rich signed up for college classes at ISU this fall, so he stopped to visit me at work with my mommy. I am excited to have Rich around this fall. He is such an amazing person. He has his head on straight, and a really good plan for what he wants to do and where he wants to go. I couldn't be more proud of him!

Every Tuesday my friend Jayson stays in Pocatello at the hotel. This week we gathered a group of us and played darts at another friends house which pretty much amounted to Jayson, Mike, and Jared being completely trashed and dancing about the house. It was entertaining. I will have to find the picture of Jayson's helmet.

I worked a lame five hours on Wednesday night and got practically nothing accomplished. Thursday I had a meeting with the district manager, and helped the housekeepers. Did I mention it was my day off? AJ and his lady friend came over and played drink the liquor with Mike on Thursday. AJ is headed for Gillette Wyoming today to hopefully get a welding job and make tons of money. Wyoming pays great for pretty much anything from what I have been told. Friday more work. Last night more work and then on to Jenny's house to watch her get smashed for her 21st birthday. Practically hysterical really.

Basically all this amounts to is that Tuesday and Saturday were very good days. The rest was craptasitc, as Meg would put it.

Funny

Someone tell me why I think this picture is amazingly funny.
