El Theory.

So I have this fabulous theory.

When I get bored, I sit and just think about everything in life, usually whats bothering me which puts me in a terrible mood.

But I've also come to the realization that life is way too beautiful and wonderful to spend time dwelling on being upset or angry or holding grudges against people or things. We are only given a certain amount of time here and if we waste all that time, what is the point?

I'd rather spend my time being care free and happy just doing my own thing.

I've also decided I've taken far too long a break from beading and need to get back into my beading habits and use some of my old beads up before venturing on to new and bigger things ;-) haha

I totally need a date with some crafts, they are amazing.

I love seeing Foxy stand and look out the window on that chair. She acts like such a little guard dog.. it's just the funniest thing!! It totally brightens my day when I come home and see her little face pop out the window all excited to see me. I always thought eventually her excitement of seeing Brett and I when we got home would die down, but it hasn't one bit!! She's still just as excited when we come home as she has ever been... It's adorable.. I love my pup!

I heard from Aurora finally, and she officially has custody of Ayden now!! :-) I'm so happy for her, she's been waiting so long for it to finally happen and now all of her hard work has paid off!! He had his first birthday August 17th. I need to go buy him a birthday present!!! ahh! They are actually coming over to see me tonight around 4:00 since Brett is working int he back of the house today at Walter's doing dishessss :-P I'm so excited to see them!!! I am ecstatic.

I need two more books before I have all my books for class covered at USM. I'm so ready to be taking classes again, I miss having stuff like that to do.. I miss learning. I really do enjoy learning, it's fun to have all this knowledge and have people wonder where you have learned it or how you know those things. I love it :-).

I ordered a bunch of clothes online yesterday from Forever21.com and I cant wait for them to come in, got some really cute clothes!! :-) I'm debating if I want to get this jacket from Club 21 in Portland too. There is a brown plaid one and a green, black, white, and I think purple plaid one I really like. The brown one is 80 and the other one is 95 so I just have to decide which one I want more and which one I feel more comfortable spending that kind of money on. I'm definitely going to get one today though when I bring Brett into Walter's and I may stop at Target/the mall and do some returns or get some jeans at Pacsun since I have like "pac loot" or whatever it's called.

Hopefully tomorrow my parents are having lobster and steamers and I can't wait because I haven't had lobster all summer really!!!! :-) It will be sooo delicious, totally pumped.

I'm very happy with the direction my life is taking me right now. For once, I feel content and happy with who I am, what I will be doing with my life, what I'm going to school for, and the friends that I have surrounding me. Sure, Brett and I have our problems like any couple, but we aren't like any other couple I know either. He is my soul mate, I'm nearly positive. We have a life together now and I don't see that changing any time soon. I truly believe we were meant for each other and the love we share is perfect, quirky, ridiculous, funny, and beautiful in it's own special way and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Sure, I have stayed home and hung out with my baby instead of attending parties or making a fool out of myself, but it is so worth it. I don't really care to party much, I can drink with the friends I have and I don't even drink very often. I would rather spend my time with him, be safe, and be us then be being a stupid drunk (which I can very well be) not really knowing what I am doing. I'm a belligerent drunk sometimes and I know I don't know how to say no.

I've been black out drunk once at our old apartment when Drew and Jake had some friends over and that is one night I NEVER want to repeat.. EVER!!! That was bad.. lol.

Anyways, should go finish up some laundry and such :-).

Where one thing ends, Another begins.

Goodbye livejournal, hello new blogger!

I felt the need to start something new as I do after awhile. Sometimes I feel like online journals are silly and pointless, but the truth is, I need somewhere to talk about things. I get bored easily and just like having something to do, or to write about. I love to write and talk, so what better than something like this?

So let's talk about some of the things happening in my life.

Work:
Walter's has been very busy lately and I have been making a lot of good money so I can't complain. I have been working a lot of hours, but I need the extra money to save up for during the year, pay bills, affording christmas and the new apartment with Brett and Foxy. I love the people I work with so it's not so bad. However, I do not always love the customers and have seriously considered "accidently" dropping a plate of hot food on someones lap, or just so it splatters onto their face/clothing. Terrible things to say, but I totally feel that way sometimes. If you dealt with some of the people I deal with every day, you'd want to do the same thing too!!

Apartment:
Things are going extremely well, but slow here. We are still technically unpacking, boxes are still scattered everywhere simply because we are lazy and the time that I have when I'm not working, I'm either A) Being lazy or B) doing more important house hold chores such as laundry, cleaning, and dishes. We've had several issues with internet, but hopefully it works this time as we had to get a new modem from Time Warner. Time Warner is so unreliable and stupid; if they weren't the big name for internet and we didn't already have cable and a phone through them, I would totally go through another provider. Time Warner is just easy, and it's awful. Foxy is adjusting well, she seems to love it. It's a place to ourselves so we don't need to worry about people going in and out all the time so she's a bit more calm. However, for those of you who know Foxy, you know that calm is never really a good word to describe her. More like, constantly hyper, spaz attack, psycho, maniac, etc. etc. You get the picture.

She actually just ate an eye liner pencil that was in the trash. GREAT! You just have to love trash-digging dogs. What are you gonna do :-P

School:
I am really excited for school to pick up in the fall. I miss learning, I guess I failed to realize how much of my time really was spent on school work. At least work has been keeping me busy most of the time so I can't tell as much but boy when I don't have work, I definitely feel the difference. For those of you who don't know yet (since I've changed so much..) I will be attending USM for Business Marketing. Totally psyched. My schedule looks like this:

Monday:
Legal Environment of Business 1:15-2:30
Spreadsheet and Problem Solving 2:45-4:00
Tuesday:
Business Statistics 1:00-2:40
Wednesday:
Legal Environment of Business 1:15-2:30
Spreadsheet and Problem Solving 2:45-4:00
Introductory Macroeconomics 4:10-6:40
Thursday:
Business Statistics 1:00-2:40
Accounting 7:00-9:30

And thats it! no classes on Friday which I'm psyched about having a 3 day weekend every week :-) As of right now, credit wise, I'm still considered a freshman because I am short by like 2-3 credits which kind of stinks. I am hoping to take a class next summer though, possibly two, to try and catch up and get my correct year status. I think all of my classes this semester are worth 3 credits so I should have 15 credits this semester... I think I have 22 credits total right now so we'll see what my status is at the end of this year.

Educational Goals:
Right now, my intent is to get my bachelor's degree in marketing. However, after having a conversation with the international business teacher, I am very tempted to somehow try to incorporate international business as well. There were a lot of interesting experiences not to mention many advantages to having an international business degree which is awesome. However, I might go another direction and actually start taking a language course maybe and try to get maybe a minor in Spanish or French which would make my abilities to communicate internationally more successful. So, we'll see how things play out. I have a few options that I can play out here and it will depend on how things go with this semester I think.

Personal Goals:
I obviously want to lose weight though I am not really doing a lot about it. Haven't been to the gym all summer... I think I am going to cancel my Planet Fitness membership and get a key for a small community fitness center they have here in Foxcroft. It costs $5 for a key and I can use it as often as I want, no monthly fees or anything. Much cheaper, probably more sensible option for me.
I also want to start beading more again and really focus on trying to find a way to sell them whether it be via small shops in the Old Port or online; whatever I could get working would be absolutely fine with me. I know I could make some money off of that stuff and at a time like this with Brett and I, we could use all the extra spare money we get from having to afford the apartment, bills, food, and the luxuries of everything else as well.

I'd say thats probably enough for now. I've already over done it on my first entry, but hey, who cares? This isn't for anyone else but me. :-)
