Earl

I took the dog we are fostering to this 'event' on base today to try to get him adopted. We have had him for about 8 weeks now and only one person has contacted us about him; she was a big ball of crazy. ~side note about her: She was asking about Earl and I gave her information on the phone, as soon as we got off the phone she would send me e-mails telling me the same thing we had just talked about on the phone. Some of her stories started to not add up and I thought better than to give Earl to her. I sent an e-mail thanking her for her interest but that we didn't think that at this time her home was best for him; he has been abused by someone and the home we send him to will need to be a forever home. She sent me an e-mail back telling me I "should be ashamed" of myself and that obviously my home was not good enough for him but hers was because we were trying to get rid of him and she wanted him. From the start I told her that I found Earl and we have been trying to find him a new home after the first two weeks of looking for his owners. That really did upset me and I know that it shouldn't have but I take things like that to heart; I try to do my part and save the animals that I can save and someone like her has to come in and tell me how bad of a person I am. Man, that just made me very upset that my husband had to write the e-mail to ask her not to contact me again for any reason.
So, back to Earl. We were at the 'event' today and not one person looked at him while we where there. When He and I walked away to the other side people would come over and talk to us and see Earl. I gave my number/e-mail to about 5 people, but I am not sure any of them will contact me. I cannot understand why it is being so hard to find Earl a good home. He is a very good dog; he is great with cats and other dogs and wonderful with children. He is about a year old, but I have found other dogs older then Earl good homes. I really like Earl and so does my husband but I just don't think that a third dog would be good for us, I mean, I bring in all the stray animals I find and a house full of animals is just a bit much.

Well, I hope we find him a good home soon. It is going to become hard to let him go after awhile.

Well, I got start my new job on Monday! I am very excited, yet am going to miss my sleep very much. I will have to be up around 5AM and out of the house no later then 6 to be at work by 7. I am sure it will be worth it and I need a better sleeping habit anyway. I do love my sleep!
On a different matter: My mother was in the hospital over night. I was so worried about her. She is doing much better now and is back home. They will run more test on her next week; we hope to find out what is going on.

my never ending speech for class

I had a speech class with a presentation that I thought would never end! I had to do and redo my speech so many times. We have to post it on youtube when we are finished so our teachers can look at it and grade it. I had posted it on there three times before I turned it in. The first two times it was wrong. It took me three months to get that thing done! I am so happy that I am finally finished with it, and if I never have to do that again it might be to soon :) I do not mind giving a speech, I find it fun, it is just the fact that I had to have someone else here to ask the questions for me. Well it is hard for me because where we live there really isn't anyone for me to have ask the questions. It was driving me nuts. This past weekend I got my husband on his off day to sit down with me and ask the questions; I usually go through about 5 times before I am ready for the questions but he had so much to do that I got to them the second time and was done. It was not the best I have done... I messed up a few times but I passed! I got a pretty good score and am not unhappy about it. I am so happy I am done with it.

stuff

I am waiting on information from my new job at to when I start. I got to talk with HR last night and they said it should be here before to long. I don't mind that I haven't started the new job just yet, Brian and I are really enjoying our last full weekend together. I would like to have a paycheck for the first however. I love having my own money and not using the money my husband works hard for. :)
Well, We got our new furniture in yesterday! We love it so much!!! I sat in my desk chair and noticed that it is broken, so I hope they bring a new one soon. I can still use it, but it is new, just out of the box and I would really like one that is not broken. Also, I thought I bought a coffee table that my husband and I picked out, turns out that I did not buy it and they sold the last one off the floor. UGH, He was not happy. Everything thing else with the stuff is great. The big dog loves the new carpet (rug) we put in and the other pup loves the sofa, only where daddy sits. :) She has not sat in my seat or the other chair that no one has sat in yet, just the two places daddy has sat. I'll post pics soon.

new job

When I came into work today I opened my computer to check my email. I had two new messages, both from my NEW JOB! I was/am so excited! There is a job offer in there and a second email that says that my last name does not match that of what the FBI has..... I have to call them tonight and get that fixed so I can have the new job. My last day of this job is tomorrow. I went around telling everyone today that it is for sure now that my last day is tomorrow and I almost cried. I am very happy about my new job but I have been working with everyone here for over a year. I will miss all of them very much. We are going to do a farewell party in four weeks for me and so we can all hang out together again for a little while. I am going to miss everyone so much, but this is such a good chance for me and for Brian.

furniture

I just made a huge purchase! I bought a sofa, two chairs, T.V. stand, coffee table, writing desk for me, and a book shelf. All bran new stuff! Tomorrow I am going to go back and buy a chair for my new desk and a new sofa for the pups! I work at a furniture store for about three more days and decided to get all of this while I still get the discount. I would not be able to afford it without the discount, lol. Maybe in a few years I would have but I am getting it now and am so very excited! Our house is going to be rid of all the second hand stuff that we now use. Not that I have a problem with having second hand anything, it is just that all of it is worn out and in desperate need of being replaced. I am so happy. I have been trying for about three years to get my husband to let me buy a new sofa, well, now I bought the new sofa all with my own money. I feel so proud! He likes the stuff and it was a great deal so he agreed to letting me purchase it. I just wanted to share my news.
Oh, I should hear news soon about if I got my new job or not. (fingers are still crossed!)

new job

I went in today for an interview for a new job. I am very excited to see if I get the job or not. I hope I get it, but that goes without saying right? I am kind of worried however. I just started school and am unsure that this job will give me the time I need,,,, okay lets be real, I am not sure I will use the time I have after work to study. I fear I will just eat some dinner, clean the house some and fall asleep before my husband gets home from work. I am one of those people that loves her sleep. All the jobs that I now have are for later in the day so I can sleep until at least 9 AM. I love that kind of job, for that reason only. This job I will have to be up and nearly ready to leave the house before my husband is even out of bed. Most of the time it will be an hour drive to work and then about two hours home with traffic. It seems like a really interesting job and I can hardly wait to start! I think this job will open more doors for me and the guy today even said that they are looking for other positions that are permanent. That would be great! If I get this job I will have my first 'grown up' job ever!
Well I just wanted to share my excitement. I cannot imagine how excited I will be if I really do get the job. I know it is hard work, but I do hard work now, even if I do get free time to do my school at the jobs I am at now.

to much

I have to learn to shut up.
