the holidays are coming.

and since we aren't moving this year, i'm going to decorate the apartment, yes the tree will be up this winter. pretty lame i'm on call christmas day, and i'm not able to go home...but my mom is coming to town, so that'll be fun.

and work is extremely excellent.
i'm getting an actual for real position....and the person leaving...well we're not exactly sad to see him go. let's just hope that this 30 million dollar budget cut doesn't take my job...for now i am thankful, for now i'm ok.

whooooooooo.

saturday.

laundry and dishes in the am.
work for the afternoon, run around the park.

i am a terrible runner. i wish i were one of those people that run marathon style, like to run just because...because it's fun for them. but i feel like i'm seriously killing my joints or something...and distance running, there is no way! i'd like to join a gym, but the thing is money...if i spend all that money and end up not going it'll piss me off, or if i do go and it's weird i'll never go back...i'm strange about things like that...places filled with people.

i ran and cleared my head.
came home and made food.

i discovered the mango's i bought were bad...so stupid. i'd love to have a good peach or mango right now, but it's kinda sick when you cut it open and the guts are brown. ew.

and it's saturday night and i'm tired...boring. this is what happens when you're on call. i'm not complaining, i like the money. i just feel so domestic these days.

i just love how things are getting better all the time.

for halloween i was a gnome.
and i'm going to NC next weekend to see tim.
currently getting ready to get ready for christmas, for me it's a process.
work. it's getting there.

however, i do not like the cold...especially when there's no one here to keep me warm.

time goes by so, so fast. i hate it...this weekend on call, next week in NC, the following weekend on call, then thanksgiving, then another weekend of call, then only two weeks until christmas. i've been good this year, and i've already got my reward.

tons of hype about this H1N1. at work, if we're not vaccinated we supposedly are going to have to wear a mask all day...i mean big f'n deal, i work in an OR, i'm in a mask 60% of the time that i'm at work...i just don't feel right putting something into my body that 1. is treatable, and 2. we don't know that much about...look at what happened with the garadasil vaccination, and all the recalls on different birth controls and other medications. no thanks. i wouldn't be surprised if all those idiots that shot it up dropped dead in a couple years...after all, it did come from China. plus, the strain has already mutated, so there's really no sense to get it if it's gonna keep changing. i just love the mind set of the hospital threatening to put masks on us...um ok is there going to be a special hole where i can eat my lunch? lol.

what else...

i need to start reading again. i don't know what it is, but the last couple of books i've read i didn't finish, and i just hate when that happens. i'm not sure if i'm too busy or if they just aren't entertaining enough, but it's something that i hope quits happening.

and i have a new found love of tea.
i'm finally starting to feel older...in a good way.

i will be out of debt by april.
my car will be paid off by january 2012.
i will have a new degree by 2013.


these are some of my goals. i'm pretty sure there are other ones, but can't think of them at the moment. i need limits, and i think that when you make deadlines and actually reach them it's really satisfying. plus i'm a super huge dork.

at any rate.
life.

our weekend in hilton head was nice. plus with tim living kinda close it gives me an excuse to get out of this house and go on exciting road trips.

things are good. halloween is almost here and i still have no idea what to be...but that's ok. we're going to the fair, which will be awesome. work is getting better, people are going on vacation and what not so i'll be covering which saves my ass for now. i'm pretty excited to try to move to tampa in the spring...with tim! [or stay in savannah together if that doesn't happen] my aunt's sister is in charge of hiring for an imaging department there, and hopefully will have the job hook up...hopefully something will work out. i miss my family and the beach. we will see.


mine is the one with the mustache.

i.love.fall.

not as much as i love the summer, but it is pretty wonderful.

today i am going to become a volunteer for the humane society, and some other thing called the dolphin project, which i'm pretty excited about. i'm not really sure what i'll be doing there, but it seems like it'll be fun.

Greek festival last night along with where the wild things are. both were not what i was expecting, but fabulous nonetheless...Greek food, it's great, but don't get the potatoes...baklava ice cream, yes.

and today i will be shopping, and cleaning out my car, and buying groceries. the only thing is, what do you buy Casey for his birthday? i'm leaning towards a really huge cake, but other than that i have no idea. he is a real wild child.

north carolina tomorrow....
home monday.
work tuesday.

lameeeeeee.

things are back in order.

and Halloween is coming, with cool weather, Casey's birthday, and all other holidays to follow. plus our lease will be up, which we hope to renew a few extra months, and then tax season....

oh life.

and now, i can finally say that my debt will be gone by march. it's an amazing feeling, and i know it's something super stupid, but i can't even put into words how excited this makes me! i mean, i've been working at it a really long time and the pay off is finally almost here!

at any rate, i'm lame.

so, pumpkins, and movies and baking and tea...plus i'm going to start volunteering at the humane society, and for this dolphin project...and signing up for school.

it's here, all i've talked about wanting to do it and it's here...whoa.

i'm just not sure what to do, because there is this possibility that i may be moving to Tampa...like unless things super perk up at my job, and that place does a 180 and becomes the most enjoyable, magical place on earth, i may be heading to Tampa. here's the thing, stupid st. Joseph's will supposedly work with my school schedule, and give me money to go...

buttttttttttt, i'm pretty sure that Tampa will offer more flexible programs such as night/weekend classes....

oh the decisions.

all in all, things are working out, and this whole year has been wonderful as i predicted!!!

i'm in florida. well, until this afternoon, then i'll be back in savannah.

i'm burnt, loving my dog, and hanging out with friends. sometimes i wish life could be like this always...not worrying about work, and getting that sense of excitement when you haven't seen some one in a really long time. and the beach is open and enjoyable all year.

and then sometimes, it's just all really annoying. and you wonder why the people you're seeing here can't even make the effort to ever come visit...it's pretty un-balanced as far as friendship goes.

hmmmmmmmmm.

thanksgiving in valona.
christmas in port charlotte.
a new year in sav.

who knows.

and tampa. tampa is on the list....
