Transitions...
I would like to start this post with a horoscope that was so fitting for me lately I just had to save it to post to my blog...
Dear Visitor,Here is your horoscope for Monday, June 19: The stars give you the inner stability and the outward social grace to transition easily from an ill-fitting situation into a more appropriate one. Now, more than ever, you see how endings are just beginnings in disguise.
***************************************************
so anyway...lots has been going on...I don't even know where to begin...I haven't posted in 2 months...and I'm sorry...I have just been so busy living my life I haven't had any time to recount it and write about it! Anyway...Scarlett is getting soooo big...I had her stripped last week and now she looks so old! She also got spayed yesterday, MR did it and I was the surgery tech and H helped me start her down. Everything went well.
I went to several communion parties...one of which was for my cousin Katie...it was a great party because they had a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN there with lots of kewl stuff to dip in it!! It was sooo exciting!! You can see pictures of that below this post!! I was also my cousin Nicole's Confirmation sponsor.
I have gone to a few parties since my last post too...Dawn D had a kewl party at her house...but I forgot my camera that night so there are no pictures from that :(:(...then Bob had a nice party at his new house...it was kewl & I have some pictures on here from that night!
I have also have gone to a few weddings recently. Pam got married on June 3 and now her and her husband Jamey are living in RI doing their residencies. The wedding was really nice. I had a good time! I also got to see Becky & Sean and Stephanie- and I haven't seen them since Canisius!! That was kewl too...everyone is doing well.
I also went to my cousin Matt's wedding last weekend on June 24. That wedding was fun too...and they had a chocolate fountain and an open bar...they must have known that I was coming! My Aunt Michelle tried to set me up with her nephew (disclaimer...she is not really my Aunt...she went to college with my dad and we are all very close...therefore her nephew is not related to me at all!!!...I just wanted to clear that up!!) Anyway, her nephew and I really did not hit off at all. We chatted for a few minutes and that was about it. I was too excited about the chocolate fountain and the bar to care though!!! I think that I will always be "that family member" or "that friend" who people always try to set up with someone they know...eeekkk...god knows I can use all of the help that I can get, but maybe I'm just meant to be single...who knows...
On a much happier note...I got some really good news...I was out to dinner at Pizza Junction...where I got some really yummy Hawaiian pizza (btw if I do end up with a guy in the end he has to have a liking for Hawaiian pizza!). My phone rang and of course I jumped to answer it because it hardly ever rings...it was Jeanne's husband Scott calling to offer me the Vet Tech job at Jeanne's new clinic! I was elated! Of course I accepted it!! I had interviewed for this job a few days before along with 2 other people, so I was in suspense and I was glad to hear something...let alone that they chose me!!
So then I met some friends from work at the beer tent at the field days...and that was fun...except for the fact that I couldn't say anything to anyone about my new job since I needed to give my notice at work before I could tell anyone else about it!!
So I gave my notice at work this past Monday...I told Barb first and that was sad...we both cried...and then I told everyone else and I cried a few more times. I mean I am VERY happy about this new job, but I have been working with the same people for the past 2.5 years, the vast majority of which I get along with and respect and it is kind of bittersweet to leave. This job was also my first as a Veterinary Technician and I have learned a lot from working there, so I will always remember it because of that too. So yeah I'm going to have a lot more responsibilities at my new job though which is very exciting. I'm going to be the only tech for now and I'll also be doing ordering for the clinic, inventory and client education. It is going to be so much fun...I mean I love being a vet tech, but at my current job I feel like my education and skills aren't being utilized to their highest degree...but at my new job I feel that my education and skills will be utilized to the highest possible degree which is very exciting! Anyway, sorry to go on so long about my new job, but I am sooo excited! My first day is set to be July 10th! :)
My knee is also doing well which is a good thing too...and my last day of physical therapy is July 6th! It hurts only sometimes now as opposed to all of the time so it is an improvement and it is really the best that it can be since I have arthritis & pitting on my kneecap! I am happy that the surgery and recovery have gone so well. I really resumed normal activities quite soon after the surgery which was nice. I was really afraid that I wasn't going to be able to drive or to take Scarlett to puppy classes, which by the way she LOVES!! It is soooo cute to see her playing with the other dogs when they all go off leash and it is kewl to go through the agility equipment stuff with her. She really has a great time!!
Hmmm...what else can I write about...OH YEAH...the last time I posted the Sabres were in the playoffs...it was very kewl for a while...I went to pretty much all of the games...speaking of which, if anyone wants to get seasons tickets with me for next season, let me know...I really want to get them!! Seasons tickets in the 300 level where our tickets were are like $600 something a seat...which works out to like $15/ game!! Then as a season ticket holder you get discounted playoff tickets if they make it that far again...which they will! Anyway, I still can't believe that Carolina beat us...if I weren't for all of our injuries we would have kicked their asses. Their coach is annoying too...Peter Laviolette...he always had this smug look on his face like he was "better than. "Errrr...I mean I'm glad that an American team won the cup instead of a Canadian team, but I'm not glad that it was Carolina! :(
On another note, The Devil Wears Prada was a great movie! and so was Prime...well Prime wasn't that great, but Meryl Streep made the whole movie!!! I love that woman, she is sooo funny!!
Well I think that's all for now...enjoy all of the pictures that I posted below from the past 2 months!
