04.08.10 - $30,000

Okay, so my dad is a Disabled War Veteran and he recently found out that all these years he was supposed to be paid extra a month for having a spouse & dependents... apparently $30,000 is owed to him. I think I should get some. After all this magic money is coming because I exist :p

Side note: I love how the tornado alarms are were going off last night and I was getting in the car to go to work. I hate how Walmart won't excuse that. Hate that place.

I've been thinking I may go get my dog grooming license while I'm going to school to be a Vet. Tech. Then I'll be a Vet. Tech while I go to school to be a Veterinarian. I think it just may be a solid plan. We'll see. Either way I need to get out of Walmart.

I also need to find an Indiana college that is under my COV list that has General Studies online that doesn't require me to be attend the campus because right now it's not a problem but once Max and I get stationed I won't be able to travel to Indiana for class lol. Plus I don't want to start school and then after Max gets stationed find out that I have to drop my classes because they won't let me finish them out of state. This Navy Wife thing is going to be a pain in my ass - it's already started. Ughhh.

04.06.10 - That Feeling

It's been months since I've updated this. My reasoning is acceptable, I swear; I haven't had access to internet (that didn't include children, preteens, and obnoxious teens looking over my shoulder at my neighbors house) so I haven't really been able to get on here and update.

Anyways, I've been feeling pretty down lately. I'm still working at Wal-Mart, it's pretty lame.

I went to Tampa, FL recently to visit all my friends from High School and to celebrate my 21st Birthday. It was pretty awesome. I realized I haven't been as happy as I was during that visit in a very very long time (years). It actually hurt my cheeks to smile and laugh as much as I did. Funny how this is supposed to be the happiest time of my life (married, early 20's, etc.). Oh well.

Sorry this entry isn't really cheerful and very unclear about why I've been so blue, I just don't get the privacy I need online to share so I'm off to grab a cigarette and sit outside with my diary, I'll share with her my thoughts and dreams that have me picturing an idealistic future.

07.13.09 - Life is coming together

Okay, so I think we've established that I completely and utterly suck at keeping up with a blog. Well, even my journal hasn't been touched in 6+ months. I forgot about it until the other day when I was cleaning and found it in my laptop bag. Teehee.
Over the past few months a lot of good things have happened to Max & I; don't get me wrong there's been a few bad things but I'm not even going to touch those topics, why stir up what's already drifted away? The RamCharger should be up & legally running by tomorrow, which is just in time because Marizel, my step-mom, will have to have her car back because her current car, the Prius, will have expired plates. I ALSO won a contest for a $20 gift certificate to Dismantled Fashions which pleased the CRAP out of me because I never win contests! Then today I had a job offer working 10pm-7am (which is what I was wanting because Max & I will be working around the same time, thus seeing eachother) paying $1.50 more, way more than I thought; when the topic of a promotion came up I thought it would only be a 20 or 40 cent raise. I will continue being full time & I'll be the head overnight processor & will be training 2 other associates that will be hired in the next few weeks. It's going to be so nice having the same hours every day AND having the same days off!! Now all we have to do is save money for a new car & our own place! I can't wait!!!

The only negative experience that is on my mind is my dad. He went to the ER yesterday because he's had a pain in his abdomen that has been around for over 6 months; it was a problem before Max & I moved here. His doctor at the VA kept telling him it was nothing. All it was was his hernia & acid reflux, no biggie. Well when he went the to ER they discovered that his pain is from his Gall Bladder. The doctors are currently scheduling surgery for him to get it removed. He was given morphine at the hospital and when he came home he had codine & vicodine and still was in way too much pain. He still went to work today. I can't wait to see him better. It'll turn out well, I know. It's just waiting for it blows.

Well I will talk to you all in a few months, lol. It'll probably be in a few days or weeks. We'll see. If I had more comments or readers I'd probably update this thing more *nudge*

05.01.09 - Car Insurance

Alright so my husband has decided that he's going to buy a Camo 1975 Ram Charger for $1000. Okay that's fine, it's his car, his paychecks, and you know it's okay if it looks like a shitty car because where we live most people purposely have crap for cars because people will break in and steal it (our co-worker didn't think his car would be in any danger b/c it had no stereo..the guys took his battery). So now the trick is.... what's a good car insurance company?

So far looking online for quotes I've found Geico to be the most affordable with the best coverage for what we need, but I really need to see what other insurance companies are out there that I don't know about. Any advice or recommendations would be great.

04.20.09 - Fleas

Gah! There's fleas in the hosue. I just found one on my laptop.

Know what that means?!?!
Time to give Freya a flea bath and treat the house. Bah. I really wish my dad would actually treat his cat with flea medication than assume a flea collar is doing the job because now my poor ferret keeps getting them.
I'm ready to just go out and buy his cat flea medicine.

04.08.09 - RVT

I've found my calling.
In July I'll finally be a resident of Indiana, thus I'll be able to go to school and take advantage of my benefits that I am eligible for being that my dad is a Veteran. So I've decided to attend Indiana Business College to become an RVT (Registered Veterinary Technician).
For years animals have fascinated me; I've learned to notice their body movement to see how they're feeling, I've watched their forms of communicating with eachother, and I've felt a great companionship between animals and myself, including those that aren't my own pets. Until I met my husband I never had pets in my house for more than about a week other than when I was a little girl (my parents aren't too keen on animals) but even when I had a dog tear half of my face off I still kept a spot in my heart for all animals.
Yesterday Max and I went to the vet because our three toed box turtle (Max has had her for years but the pervious owner told him that she was a tortoise, as well as a he lol) wasn't feeling well and being there just felt right. Even in the chaos of trying to get the credit card machine to work haha.
So yeah, I'm going to be a Veterinarian :)
