I miss my little monsters

6/11/10: I had work from 9:30-2:30 at Rita's, it was okay, except I had to battle a ton of fruit flies when I got in because no one poured water/bleach into the floor drain in a while and ice/sugar built up- the fruit flies love that stuff, it was gross. After work I spent time with my little monsters, Lucy and Fletcher. Once I got them tired out I was able to take a nice hot bath, not that long though since the tub still doesn't have all the pieces.. the drain needs to be fixed but will not be fixed for another couple of years... apparently my Uncle tried fixing the drain one time by shoving something into it, thus getting it stuck and breaking it. The only way to fix it is to go through the pipe from the ceiling downstairs. Luckily, when my Uncle flooded us out a couple of years ago, my Dad did a quick fix with the ceiling under the bathroom (my old room) and planned on going back a few years after to really fix it. After my bath I did some laundry and made plans with Jon to go to Applebee's. Jon came over around 9, we played with the pups then went to Applebee's at 10 for 1/2 price apps and drinks. It was fun minus the girls around us.. they were very gossipy and loud so we got to hear their entire stories. Since we could hear there stories, we decided to be a little louder about certain topics we started talking about and going further into depth into topics not normally talked about during dinner. haha :)

6/12/10: Again I had work at Rita's, but this time 10-1:30... it was just to make ice and open the store, however Jamie was there too cleaning the custard machines, so we got things done real quick, Jamie was able to leave at 1:00 and I left like 20 minutes later. After work I went home, had lunch, showered, then took my babies to petsmart... I had to drop them off to Bonnie because I'm going on vacation next weekend, so now I am puppy-less :( It's very lonely without my babies. I miss my Lucy's ears and Fletchers fat puppy belly.


After petsmart I decided to take a trip to A.C. Moore to see if they had dog stuff, i decided to make some scrapbook pages for my foster pups :) After AC Moore, I went to Target with my Momma (she broke our grill last week, so we needed to go find a new one, and Target had some grills on sale). Once we got back, I went to CVS to print pictures so I could start my scrapbook for my little monsters. Unfortunately the pictures did not print very nice, I'll try it again tomorrow or monday, luckily the pictures were really cheap (43 pictures for like $3.50).

Thursday

Welcome to Blogger


I have used blogs (livejournal & xanga) in the past, but it as been awhile. I figure while I have time over the summer I would start one up again and see if I can keep it going through school. I decided to try out Blogger because a friend of mine who blogs a lot uses blogger, so i figured it must be a good site and user friendly :) (Hi Victoria!)

Summer has been pretty uneventful so far.. I currently have three jobs: Rita's Manager, Senior Helpers Caregiver Companion, and Babysitter. Hopefully with the combination of the three I'll be able to save up some money over the summer for the school year/new computer.

Besides working, I have been fostering puppies for a rescue out of Paramus called BARK: Bonnie's Animal Rescue Kingdom. First I had King Tut (AKA: tut, tutty, tutter, little monster, baby), a white and black 5 month old male pit/pointer mix who was absolutely adorable. I miss him so much.

While watching Tut I also watched his sister Rosa for a week, they were adorable together.

While watching Tut I also took in a 2 year old male basset hound named Debo, but he was not dog friendly and would growl at both Tut and Sahara, as well as my mom and dad, so we gave him to another foster right away... thus no pictures. Once Tut got adopted out I took in a 3 1/2 month male old black flat coated retriever hound mix named Pepper. He was adorable, but I kept calling him Tut :(

I only had Pepper for a week until he got adopted out, then I took in 2 shepherd babies, a male named Fletcher and a female named Lucy, they are about 2 1/2 months old and love to chew on each other.


So besides work and fostering I've been working on the apartment I and Devon are in the process of moving into- the upstairs of my parents house. The bedroom and the bathroom are now complete and the floor is in the works of being re-done. Those pictures will be posted soon.. they are still on my camera.
