movin' and shakin'

With the final decision being made to move to Jimmy's house in south MO, things are starting to pick up around here. We're slowly but surely getting things packed away, money saved up, and grand plans made for cleaning and remodeling the house. It's going to take about $700 for the moving truck and gas, but there's no other way to get all of our shit down south in one trip. I'm so excited about getting the house set up and making it truly our place. We really need to have a place of our own!

 Work has been going pretty good. I've made some fantastic friends while there, and it's going to be sad when I transfer to the other store. I'm going to miss everyone so much, but that's what facebook is for, right? 

The only thing that has been a downer for me lately is that there are about six cashiers that are pregnant... it gets a little depressing trying to be happy for everyone one else who's having a baby, while we still can't. I never heard from the people at TLC for being cast on A Conception Story. That wasn't completely unexpected, but still a bummer.  I'm really thinking that once we get moved and have our own house, there will be less stress and we won't have as much trouble getting pregnant... at least I hope that's how it goes!

another day, another dollar

Got home from another fabulous day at the wonderful WalMart. I have to say, as far as retail jobs go, this one isn't half bad. I make decent wages, have good hours, and have met some nice people. I just stay away from any drama, and I'm fine.

When I woke up this morning, it was snowing again... while I think it's beautiful, I really wish it would stop. I want to be able to take this trip to south MO to see Jimmy's mom, and if it's snowing, we aren't going to go.

Well, I can't really think of anything witty or inspiring to write tonight... I just wanted to make sure that I didn't get as behind with my blog as I have in the past. so... at least i posted something, right?

What to make of this new year...

So, after some creative stumbling, I found where to track my stats on this blog... and since I have started it, there has been a whopping 39 pageviews! aren't I the popular one? what I don't get is that 13 are from Russia, and I don't know anyone from Russia other than my aunt who has been living in the States for 14 years or so. Hmmm, maybe my musings will become famous in Russia, like Hasselhoff is famous in Germany! Somehow I doubt it...

I just watched the movie Julie &Julia, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but it got me daydreaming about being a successful blogger. Fantasies about people reading my words, laughing at my sarcastic wit, filled my head for days. Of course, this is the first update I've made since December of last year. I suppose to become famous, I'll have to keep up a little more.

Onto the actual updating... It's now 2011, and to show for it, we have another new dog, tickets to another kickass concert, and I'm still working at WalMart... BUT my car is paid off, our rent has gone down, and we're planning a trip to visit Jimmy's family. The new concert is our Valentine's gift to each other. Last Valentine's Day was not what either one of us had hoped for, simply because we had to travel the entire weekend. We ended up spending time with the kids that weekend, which was fine, just not the ideal first Valentine's Day together. So this year, we will be spending it with Neil Fallon and Lemmy! That's right, the great Clutch is touring with... *drumroll* MOTORHEAD! It should be a night of pure epic-ness!

So... that's my update, I guess. Not really much going on around here. Things haven't changed much... Here's to a new year of surprises and excitement! Cheers!
