Spooky
On Friday September 2nd our kitty Spooky suffered a heart attack. I found him just as it started and rushed him to the vet. I won't go into the horrible details of how he looked or acted but it was one of the scariest moments of my life. They treated him all day and overnight and it sounded as if would recover and come home the next day. On Friday evening when they closed his breathing had slowed and he was resting. I called back Saturday morning and it was then I found that he was paralyzed from the hips down. He had no bladder function and his back paws were completely cold. A blood clot had lodged itself at the base of a large artery that runs down cat's backs cutting off blood supply. He would have absolutely no quality of life and the vet said that the likeihood of throwing another clot and the possibility of it going to his lungs or brain was great. We were just devastated and had to make the humane decision to put him to sleep. I have never had to make this sort of choice before...I knew that Spooky would be miserable laying around in a diaper or dragging himself along with a cart attached to his hind legs. We went to see him Saturday morning and stayed with him awhile. We brushed his fur and said our goodbyes and then petted him while the vet gave him the injections. I couldn't have left him alone. Jarek and I buried him under the tulip tree on the side of our house with photos of us and the other kitties, some lilies and his favorite brush. He was the sweetest, most gentle cat I've ever known. Spooky was only 3 1/2 years old, he was slightly overweight but the vet said that there was nothing we could have done to prevent this. I miss him terribly and there will never be another cat that can take his place. He loved to sleep on his back with his feet straight up in the air, have his belly rubbed and would come when you whistled, almost like a dog...There is such a big presence gone in our house. My cats are like babies to me and I just wish for one more day with him. |

Sofia Coppola
Your film will be 62% romantic, 31% comedy, 21% complex plot, and a $ 38 million budget. |
| Relatively inexperienced (The Virgin Suicides, Lost In Translation) as a director, but already highly respected and connected -- her dad, Francis, directed all The Godfather movies, Apocolypse Now. Also, at last word she's dating Quentin Tarantino, so I'm sure he'll have some input into the substance of your film. Sofia's good at making the romantic drama that is your life. Who didn't have at least a lump in the throat at the end of Lost In Translation? She's already won one Academy Award for her writing, now she'll be the first woman to receive one for directing -- YOUR FILM! |

i'm obsessed with the devil's rejects at the moment, including the soundtrack.
rob zombie has such a knack for choosing the perfect song for each moment in his movie, just like quentin tarantino.
this is my "weekend". tim couldn't give me my regular saturday and sunday off because too many others are on vacation so i have a monday and tuesday off together. ohsomuchfun.
anyway my dad and teresa are coming over tomorrow night and bringing their grill to cook out steaks. i wish we were just going out. we haven't set up the table and chairs on the deck yet and i totally don't want to mess with dishes from five people eating. plus i don't know what we're going to eat WITH those steaks cause i definitely don't have any sort of food to feed multiple people. we have cereal, tv dinners, soda, beer, chips, and ice cream basically hahaha. i haven't cooked in forever. been too busy...
jarek wants to trade in his truck for...another truck. i don't want any part of it! i am not the mood to be hunting for a new vehicle at the moment. he's convinced his truck is going to break down anyday and wants to get rid of it before it costs us more money. he's got some toyota truck in mind at a dealership in indy but they were feeding him a line of b.s. today when he looked at it, which is exactly why i want NO part. i hate used car salesmen. jarek says now that we have a house it's a good idea to keep a truck of some sort even though he really wanted another sports car...because we might need to haul things. i really don't care. if the payment is ok and he's happy i'll sign my name on the line and be done.
well i'm gonna hit a few more sites and go to bed. sixteen candles is on too...aww. |

we've been living in our new house for a couple days now but we're still moving. i just can't get motivated this morning.
tory had to be put to sleep a few days ago (my dog growing up, she still lived with my mom) i didn't think i would cry but i did. she was 17 years old and blind and deaf but she definitely still enjoyed eating. she also had arthiritis and her last day she appeared to be in a lot of pain...her right leg was twisted and she refused to walk on it. she had big sores on her elbows from where they rubbed the ground as she tried to stand up.
there's a big part of my mom's life missing now, and i almost feel like another chapter of my life has closed as well. i try to hold onto it so hard sometimes. tory, i'll love and miss you always. |

i'm making a compilation of bob dylan songs sung by women. it's difficult...a lot of them aren't good copies. too many imperfections.
i miss listening to bob.
it's past 1am and i really should be asleep. one more day till vacation starts.
i've been burning the candle at both ends too many days in a row now.
i'm actually listening to blinded by the light by manfred mann right now though and it's taking me to those scenes that fly by in the movie blow while this song plays. johnny depp is so hot. i remember when jude and i went to see that in the theater. when i think of these things too many emotions flood in at once.
i wonder if i romantacize our time together or if it really was so amazing.
why the wasn't i enough? |

I am SO tired.
We have been working like crazy on the house all weekend. We closed on Thursday and I can't believe how smooth the whole process went. It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting.
Everything will be perfect...if we just get through this month. We have the bathroom totally ripped out-we're remodelling everything except for the tub which IS getting some TLC regardless (new plumbing and caulking etc) We bought a brand new toilet and my dad got us a new vanity and sink and overhead lights for our garage as housewarming presents.
Jarek is patching a few spots in the ceiling in the living room which I will be painting on Wednesday as well as the bathroom, hallway, shutters and front door.
The only rooms we really aren't touching are the bedrooms and kitchen. We already bought our new fridge and I spent all Friday morning cleaning but otherwise it's good to go.
We need to powerwash and stain the deck soon as well, before we move our table and chairs onto it, and do some wiring in the garage. We'd really like to buy some garage door openers (it's a 2 car garage) or replace a few windows if we have any extra money..which I could see happening considering we got A LOT more money back than expected at closing.
I haven't been so happy in a long long time. I really feel proud that we're doing things the right way, because I know a lot of people really would have moved into this house in the condition it was in (which wasn't bad shape by any means) but that we're getting everything done that could have posed a problem in the future and next month we can totally enjoy the house 100%.
When I was growing up I never understood why my parents enjoyed going to hardware stores and home improvement stores and why they always had "some project" to be planning but I totally get it now!
I'm also very happy with the fact that it seems my priorities are turning around as well. I used to HAVE to spend money. I would go to stores knowing I wouldn't feel satisfied unless I left with one thing, no matter how useless. Shopping for clothes and CD's was an every-other-day at least occasion. Over the weekends we ate out at more expensive places, regularly drove to Muncie or Indy...I don't even think about that anymore. I guess I've made my point already. It's not like I've had some great revelation-I have just unconsciously decided to GROW UP a little bit more :)
Well Jarek wants me to dig a splinter out of his hand, gotta go! |

i'm up a little earlier than i need to be. jarek and i have been arguing because cvs wants me to work this weekend to finish the new cough and cold planogram. i REALLY don't want to but i know we do need the extra money to buy things for our new house. i was actually considering it but i had such a crappy night at work yesterday. of course jarek wants me to do it and even though he's telling me "it's up to you" he also keeps saying "well if it's the difference between you being able to get your new fridge don't bitch to me" so now i do feel under pressure to have to work and my weekend just feels ruined already.
we're getting up early on sat. to hit some rummage sales which normally i love but we have to drag his aunt connie along. she's nice enough but she's kind of nuts and i totally don't want to do any of it now that i'll probably be working sun. i know it sounds selfish but i really cherish my days off. i generally think my job sucks and i try to remain optimistic but i know this weekend especially will be bad. we have the stupid church of god convention in town and they are the rudest nastiest bunch of people. cvs is right down the street from the convention grounds so we get slammed with them. i don't know what i'm going to do. if it was up to me of course i'd say no, but i really do want a new fridge for our house, among other things and i know jarek won't let me forget about it when we need money in the future.
i changed my layout last night. i also made that aslyn icon. i think she's so cute. i looked for one and couldn't find any so i just decided to make it myself. i actually did have some words on it at one point but decided it looks better plain. i was pretty happy with the end result for never making icons before. i added the "polkadot" background and used a brush to lighten one side of her face and darken the other. i think i changed a couple other things too from the original picture...it was like 1am last night when i was messing with it so i can't remember.
well i'm going to see what's on tv while i want for my little trickle of bathwater to fill up... |

so the sellers came through afterall and are giving us $1000 dollars for repairs on our house. we have hired jarek's dad for the major work on the sill plate this weekend. he has to hire out some labor, so we have to pay for that, plus the materials, but as far as his part is concerned-he's not trying to make any money off us so we're getting a great deal. they did the appraisal yesterday and it was fine. all that's left is just getting this work done, having the inspector take another look and if he's satisfied we can close soon!
we had such a great time at king's island yesterday. my dad and teresa took us...the lines were short so we were able to ride everything we wanted and more. i rode the italian job, the vortex (with 6 loops!) flight of fear (0-54mph in 4 seconds) the beast, son of beast (first wooden roller coaster with a loop) the racer, drop zone (you drop 300 some feet at 60mph), tombraider, plus every single water ride, and a couple kiddie rides to but hey! the reptar coaster was pretty intense for being intended for little kids. top gun was closed unfortunately, it's one of my favorite coasters just because it's so smooth. the beasts just beat you to death so i'm incredibly sore today.
i really don't want to go to work at 1:30. it felt like i was on vacation yesterday. teresa told us she's planning some big trips for us to take in the next year or so, to florida and new orleans! so exciting...well better go. bye! |

i've been laying out a little this morning but i started to feel lightheaded so i came inside to get a drink and cool down.
the latest on our house is we've asked the sellers to fix a few things for us..and we're waiting to hear "yes or no". we want it regardless but THEY don't know that, so we're hoping they do it. the deadline for their response is tomorrow evening. i feel like we've been very smart about this. i've spoken to so many people who offered the seller exactly what they wanted, and didn't ask for anything and they regret it.
i'm thinking of getting a friend's only journal. it's not that i have any deep dark secrets. but i feel i hold some things back because of who might be reading it. i don't want to cause any arguments or hurt anyone's feelings. believe me, this does not apply to 99% of you...i really want to continue to make new friends and i think when someone's journal is "friends only" it discourages people from that. so people could still find me through this journal, and see what i'm like. i dunno, i'm still thinking!
i have go out and mow the lawn, or at least most of it. at least it will be more time out in the sun, but i'm so tired.
well i guess that's about it...
i can't wait for the weekend to begin!! |

| | daft punk is playing on pimp my ride | ] |
i'm being forced to stay up because one of the cat's peed on our bed and i'm washing all the sheets and blankets. i swear, i don't understand why MY cats have to pee on things. their litter box isn't dirty. and it's not like it's something that happens frequently (which would make me think they were sick if that was the case) it just happens about once every 6 months-1 year. which i think is too much, because all the cats we had growing up NEVER peed in anything but the litter box.
i'm watching pimp my ride. it pisses me off that they "pimp" rides that are totally trashed by nasty people and you just know that they are going to turn around and trash it again.
our new home buying adventure is coming right along. we had the inspection on sat. everything went well. they are minor repairs that need done but nothing too major or expensive and everything jarek's dad can help us with. i've decided i'm going to spend the 1st week painting and cleaning. my dad took us sofa shopping fri. night and we found one that will go with our carpet and the leather chair he's also giving us. the chair is practically brand new itself. dad and theresa bought it for their living room but it was bigger than they expected once they took it home and said if we liked it we could take it too. i am so excited. a new house and new furniture. how can i be so lucky? the couch is kinda woven chenille like fabric. it's kinda golden carmel colored with dark flecks and burgandy flecks. the leather chair is dark brown and our carpet in our living room at the new house is burgandy so it will match perfectly! our morgage broker told us our closing should be on or before the 20th of june. each day seems like an eternity...i can't wait to lay out on my deck and drink lemonade or margaritas ;)
i am so happy. i think these days are some of the happiest of my life...right up there with my childhood..i had a fairytale childhood until i got to middle school. but now it's just amazing how everything has fallen into place. i don't miss ireland anymore. i swear i don't even think about it unless jarek makes a smartass comment about jude. and i'm sure he thinks about him more than i do as well. there's nowhere else i'd rather be than here with jarek and my family. i used to TELL MYSELF that to convince myself but now i truly believe it. i know this is so sappy....oh well. :)
i'm going to see if any of my blankets are dry yet. i can't wait to hop into nice clean warm sheets. byeeeee. |

the big news is they accepted our offer on the house! today we go see our realtor to get the ball rolling as far as inspections and appraisals. it will take about 30-45 days before we close but really it isn't that long. i am so thrilled. jarek already started packing yesterday haha.
i'm off work today. i worked my ass off yesterday so i NEED it. we are preparing for inventory friday.
we saw episode III over the weekend. tis good. i'd say it's the best of the new ones but i still feel they are nothing like the originals. harrison ford is so hot in those movies.

it's a dark, stormy day. i'm off work so i planned on going to my dad's and hanging out in the hot tub and getting a tan. doesn't look like that's gonna happen but nothing can ruin my good mood today because.........we're putting an offer on a house tonight!
i am so excited. this has been all i've thought about for the last 24 hours. this house will be perfect for us. we're staying on the same side of town...which i like. this house has a huge living room, the kitchen is newly remodeled with new stove, dishwasher, new flooring...the furance is only 2 years old which is important to us, it has new central air, a big deck out the backdoor which connects to a two car garage. the deck has a privacy fence around it so i can lay out in the summer without anyone staring at me! everything is clean and in great shape. it's on a corner lot so we only have one neighbor and they seem to take good care of their house. all these things were so important to us......i mean space and square feet were also important but we don't need a lot of rooms or elaborate features. we just wanted a good, sound house in a nice neighborhood that we didn't have to do any repairs on to move in. we couldn't put an offer yesterday because i had to work last night, and jarek was at work during the day so i've been anxious..praying that nobody else has made a move. we meet with renate (that's our realtor) at 5pm tonight!
jamie from work is going to give me her loveseat and matching chair if i like them. they sound like they are in a lot better shape than our current furniture. after we finish with the realtor we're heading over to her apartment tonight. everything is falling together so nicely (i hope it keeps up)
well i don't have much else to say. i'm just going to listen to music for awhile and maybe have chris over later. bye for now...more updates this evening... |

we looked at two houses last night. the first was really cute...it was decorated kinda cottagey, has an awesome fireplace. the second i was not interested in at all. you could tell a man had lived there and not cared about what kind of shitty carpet he put down and the bathroom sucked. i would definitely like to see the first one again...we actually have another 4 appointments set up so it's not like we're jumping the gun on one house anytime soon.
the big phonies from corporate were in visiting our store today. it is so stressful when they come. the higher i move in our store the more they notice me too :(
i have been frantically cleaning house while jarek mows. we're gonna go out to dinner here a few...sometimes i get on a cleaning streak and go crazy. it feels good to start the weekend with a clean house..

well i had an interesting day...
i had to attend the annual photo rally in indianapolis with tim (my store manager) today. the meeting itself was pretty bland..they handed out a bunch of crap, papers and binders and new certifications and useless time consuming busy work that we have to "implement" in the stores blah blah blah....that part of it was not-so-fun. i have to admit that i would rather work a real day than go sit through one of those meetings. it usually becomes a 12 hour day at least and unfortunately i'm becoming quite the regular between these and the regional ones. anyway to get to the point....
on the way home i seriously had the best talk with tim. i don't mean this in a weird way. i've never really let my guard down around him, or him around me. i felt i could be totally honest with him on how i felt about other people at work without also feeling that i was whining. we talked about our lives, spouses, how it bothers both of us when people abuse the system and don't earn what they have, what it's like trying to succeed without a degree...he even told a few details that i know normally he shouldn't or wouldn't have. basically about how he felt resentment once he learned what a certain past assistant manager was earning at our store, which was more than him even....he even told me the exact amount, which gave me a rough idea about how much he himself makes. plus he told me that he wished someone had told him what to expect when negotiating his position as a store manager. he told me that when the time comes he would give me pointers on how to ask for better pay......because the next time i get promoted it will be jeff making the final decision. i feel so good about my job right now. i feel like i'm in a good position. i got a vague idea of what store managers make and i'm very pleased! and i feel like i have somebody who's on my side. usually tim is so quiet it's hard to tell what's going on.
when i finally got home dad had been trying to call me. jarek and i met he and teresa at ob's for dinner. they want us to feed the fish and water their flowers while they are in hawaii for amy's wedding. he's going to pay us $100 to do it for a week.
jarek and i are looking to buy a house within the next three 1/2 months. this is something we've been considering on and off for a long long time. i just really don't tell anyone because it seems that when i get my hopes up something always happens to crush them and then i look like a fool. either that or i get scared and overwhelmed because it's a big deal! i bet liz will think i'm copying her :)
we are being shown 2 tomorrow and 3 on friday. our realtor sounds really sweet and i have a good feeling about the first one we're seeing tomorrow. it looks so charming from the outside and according to the info it has a lot of new features. basically we're getting down the choice of "do we really want to rent for another year?" we have "miss holier than thou" living next door, so many things need fixed in this apartment and our stupid landlord is fixing the windows in the miniature house/shed thing he uses for storage in the backyard before he's even discussed fixing OUR windows which have cracks in them in the bedroom. we have no frickin' water pressure and we're running out of space.
well it's getting late and i should get to bed. i have a long day of work ahead of me tomorrow-sorting through all the junk i got at the meeting today. night night guys. |

i had a weird and disturbing dream last night.
i had a baby. i actually don't remember HAVING it but it was just there and it was mine. it was sickly and actually quite ugly, and i remember feeling really disappointed because i didn't love it, not the way that i've heard mother's love their babies. i tried to take good care of it but it kept wiggling and constantly spitting up on itself and peeing and pooing...i don't mean normal.. i mean just like the exorcist or something. then it started to shrink and then grow unnaturally. sometimes it would be so tiny i could hardly hold it and then it would grow into a 2 or 3 year old child and it would try to sabotage me. it tried to break things, hit me, scream, or call me names. then it would shrink again and it was a helpless baby peeing everywhere again. bambi from work was also there saying how cute it was and fussing over us. of course you all know how i feel about her...it was such a horrible dream. i'm sure it means that i have fears over having a baby. i haven't even been thinking about babies though. the only thing i can think is i watched welcome to sunny florida last night and tori was talking about natasha her daughter...plus i'm sorta reading her new book right now.
i stayed up too late last night. chris and i played playstation and went to mcdonald's at 2am and got mcchickens. and even though i still got 7 1/2 hours sleep i feel tired. i'm so glad i'm off today. i'm not doing anything or seeing anybody all day long. i'm going to sit here and listen to music and relax.. |

chris bought god of war and i started playing it but it's so damn frustrating. the MOST frustrating and annoying thing is the way you collect health, magic and orbs. you basically have to open a box or crate type thing by holding down R2 on the controller...except this process takes about 5-10 seconds and in the meantime your enemies are knocking you away from the health you so desperately need and killing you. it is virtually impossible to get health at the most vital points because of this. i think they should have created a faster recovery of items. actually it seems like every button you press is one step behind in this game. the movements really aren't that fluid and the minigames you have to use to kill enemies suck too. i don't know why it's getting such high ratings.
chris got his learner's permit finally. i'm so proud of him!
i bought the cutest top, flip flops and earrings from the dollar store this weekend. i don't care what anyone thinks...dollar stores are the way to go! when i was in elementary school and middle school i was so embarrassed when my mom bought us anything from a dollar or discount store. if someone ever complimented me or asked me where i bought something i would lie or pretend i couldn't remember. name brand clothes are good too but there's nothing like getting practically a whole outfit for 13.50 (minus the jeans)!
i am at such a good point in my life right now. of course i could do with more money and free time, and to loose a few pounds but i've been so happy lately. i love my new haircut. i feel so much more confident. my long hair was totally dragging me and my personality down. jarek and i have have made a pact that if we start to argue that we both take and moment to pause and stop to think about what we're saying. i really think it's helping because there were a few instances this weekend where things could have escalated but didn't. i think the longer we've been married the better things are getting. i've always loved him but there were times in the past when i didn't "feel" in love. i had moments when i despised answering to someone else and felt so confined. but recently i just look at him and i think how precious he is to me. i enjoy the moments we spend together and don't want to be with anyone else but him.
well i better get to bed soon. i do have work tomorrow at 8am. it actually doesn't seem that depressing right now. night night. |
