Welcome to Gaia! ::

Right now me and my hubby are looking to move. We think that there might be a good house for rent up the street from our current location. I got my first paycheck from my new job at National Grid. It has to be the biggest amount that I have ever recieved for one check ever. I'm going to be looking for laptops now as well so that I can set up my own little area.

I saw Iron Man today and it was freaking sweet. Well worth the money but if you are looking for something that is close to the comics you might not like it too much...but that tends to go with any book turned movie.

So...my employer is cutting her numbers. She's already given termination notice to five parents, who were taking advantage of her, and then plans on dropping more later in the year. Anywho, one of the mothers who was dropped asked if I'd be willing to be the nanny to her two boys. A three and a five year old, and when school started it'd be only the three year old. Longer hours than I have now, and less pay (she's cheap!)...but I wouldn't have to clean or anything (she has a cleaning lady...who also works for cheap as Hell), and I'd get to take the kid(s) out places and have fun.

After much thought, I decided to accept her offer...but only if she increases the amount. $240 a week really isn't much when nannies around here typically go from $300-500+ a week. >> I talked with my employer and we decided $290 would be better. She said she'd think about it.

Shoki might be a nanny. Lulz.


NG- Watch them Western saddle's horns. I managed to catch myself on one during a dismount and ripped my bra. .__.;

It's official, Kirby has the ability to attract all burs within a three foot radius. I don't know how a dog can get so many burs on him during a three second pee break. It is like he calls them to him. gonk

So now that it's Saturday, I think it's time to officially rant about my week. Because it sucked.

So on Monday I was freaking out cause I had to clean and vacate my apartment by Wednesday, and I hadn't found anything to go to yet. And then I had finals all week long too, so I was trying (and failing) to study for those. So I was packing and cleaning, and I ended up calling my dad in a panic cause I just didn't know what to do, and he volunteered to help me move. Love him. He helped me to find a storage locker and we packed up the house and moved all my belongings to it. It was arranged that until I could find something else, I would stay at my friend's apartment in his spare room. I wasn't able to keep the cat with me cause he's in a pet-free apartment. So it was decided that my fiancee would take the cat. Except my fiancee had a huge fight, and he ended up breaking up with me. Which left me with my cat. Fortunately my friend relented and the cat is with me now, and by Thursday I had an apartment (that I can't move in til June). Exams are over now, and I at least know that I passed Accounting (with a B+!). The only stress in my life now is my ex....I haven't talked to him since Tuesday, and I really don't know how serious he is. cry

Yea....major suck involved. I haven't talked to him since Wednesday, which is an exceedingly long time. I thought maybe I should wait til school was over for him, and then we would try to hatch things out, but he hasn't made contact once. I did email him along with a long list of others to let them know where I was eventually moving to, but he hasn't replied to that either. sweatdrop

I used to ride a long time ago, so i'm used to the whole sadle horn thing.



I'm comfortable with horses, I know how to work around them and ride. I've got the basics down at least. I've been bucked off once, but i'm.. not scared. smile

Thats why Parker is short haired right now! smile

On another note:Depending on the response I get on FA, I may open commissions up again, i'm in need of $400 for a vet bill, so... i'm thinking i'll open that up again.
