| well.....a lot has changed in the past few months. I now live in Kansas City, MO....couldn't be happier about that. Josh and I found a townhome to rent because getting a house loan right now isn't the best idea. We sold our house and had an amazing amount of luck with everything that went into that.
Dougal is still doing well....despite the hip problems and thyroid problems.
I got to visit my family for xmas, which was fun. Dougal had a blast playing with Tala. Stacy got me into playing WoW so now I get to be a dork just like her. Yay!
nothing much really to say....not in a blogging mood as I have my "end of the year" cold.

| So it's been awhile. I am not dead. Just a bit lazy. josh and I have been prepairing for the big move back home....and by that I mean josh has been scrubing our house and talking with the realtor and bank people while I have been eating ice cream on the couch and complaining about ABC.com's video player. I mean seriously...I can't watch my shows....this is a crime against humanity....or atleast a crime against me....and as I am a human....crime against humanity. Follow the train people.
So because ABC is being gay (not that there is anything wrong with that) I have been forced to watch nbc and cbs (the horror). but good news gentle readers...I have found a new show. It's like what House would be like if House were a detective with insanely hot hair. So I watch the mentalist now. I really like...or at least I really like the lead character's hair. I want to marry it and have little blonde hair babies with it. I want to rub gel in it....maybe mess it up a bit...It's seriously great hair. I would rank it right up in the great hair relm of Dr. McDreamy. Maybe better. The hair is that great. It should have it's own show....wait...what was the show about....oh who cares....look at that guys hair!
Moving on.
Me and Dougal have a new relationship in which I force him to go on long walks with me. Poor dog. He spends half the walk trying to pull me home. He wants to lay on the couch and watch the mentalist too. He likes pretty hair too.
I started writing again. And then I stopped. As soon as I set a goal for myself, I said to myself...:"self, fuck you, you can't make me do anything" and then just to show myself, I didn't write anymore for three days. That will show myself. *sigh*....I am my own biggest enabler and disabler. Well, I was on a roll for while, then I got distracted by perfect hair man and his show, then other shows uploaded shows on the internet...it's like they were sent to destroy me.....evil television shows from hell. How's a girl supposed to catch a break with all this entertainment happening on my PC?
Oh, and I have been trying to limit caffeine consumtion to one pot a day. Like that's ever going to happen, but I am trying. Of course, now that I have stated this as a goal, I am predicting that tomorrow I will say "fuck you, self....I am gonna drink my weight in coffee"....which for those of you who don't know me....is gonna be A LOT of coffee. My heart will probably explode from the stress of that much caffeine, but hey....at least I will show myself who is boss.....when I am dead from a splody heart related to caffeine overdose....that will show me
I know many don't realize how bad my addiction has become....lets be honest....it's bad. At least a pot o' joe in the morning..and I am talking about the whole thing...all 12 cups in my belly.... And then several cups o tea. Then if I am working....at least one cardiac arrest in a cup (in laymans terms...that would be a nonfat triple venti latte from the wonderful starbucks)....sometimes I have two of these in a day in addition to the other caffeine already listed. Oh oh....once they made me a quadruple venti latte....that's twice the espresso of your ordinary latte.....I think of it as super latte....not for the faint of heart. Seriosuly, that shit would kill a monkey....which is why I am glad that I am more highly evolved than a monkey....cause that is life altering caffeine content....and it's fun. Heart palpitations can be fun, kiddos. Just keep a team of CPR trained folk around like I do....just in case. Oh, also we have a difibrilator. Which might help me when the starbucks kills me. At least my husband can make money by suing starbucks....but then again, they probably have a clause (not santa) against stupidity....which would mean no money for the newly single josh. Poor guy.
in other news....I am done now. Anyone feel free to tally the mispelled words in this weeks blogy post. I bet it's in the double digits. I mean, hell, if it isn't I am not doing a good enough job of inventing words and changing spellings to suit my needs. Plus, I really have never cared for webster or his dictionary and this is my way to stick it to him. So take that Webster and your stupid dictionary. I spell things they way I want....try and stop me. | | |

So, I have to work on my birthday which blows BUT I have a whole glorious week off after that! I have decided to make that week my 24th birthday week, or the Week of Andrea. What does a week of Andrea include, you may ask...well... I have a pedicure I want to go to (thanks to love day gift from hubs), I would like to get my hair cut, redeorate the living room from pottery barn (yay), and go shopping for some new clothes (which will include laying around the hosue clothes and walking Dougal clothes). I might even take my little man out for a present at petsmart and let him sniff some doggy butts too. He likes doggy butts. Dougy and I plan to go on walks every day which is good for me and good from him. Oh, I also plan to go out to eat at some fancy-pancy mexican place and maybe get myself a special meal during the week....I am thinking chocolate....awhole meal of chocolate....and then a really long dougy walk. and I want pancakes, darn it! Do they make chocolate pancakes???
I am excited to have a whole week off!!! I get sleep!!!! And get to spend time with my prince without being cranky all the time. Plus, this month I have 3 (count em...3) weekends off with the hubs which is super cause I never get to see him anymore. We must make plans! More trips to petsmart!!!! We are both feeling bad because we have both been sick this week and haven't been able to take the dougal-dog out for a walk. He's been going stir crazy and chasing his tail a lot....he needs walkies.
I am excited to buy new clothes...really, I am gonna buy poopy clothes....sweats from victorias secret so I can look cute while walking the dog and working out if I ever go back to the gym.
oh....I LOVE MY DOG. I want to get him a whole bunch of puppies so he can be their King. King Dougal of puppy-land....or Lord of the fluffy-butts...he needs a rockin' title. I think I could get him a crown and he could sit around surveying all that is his.....he would look sweet in a crown.
Ok, it's midnight...leave me a alone. I can be silly at midnight.
to recap....week of me, dougal getes stuff too cause I love him more than me, and dougal needs loyal subjects to rule. That's it....any questions? | | |

| Stupid work....out on call...again. BLAH. I want to work and make some money. Our census is still super low and that means I no get to worky tomorrow. Unless a bus full of pregnant ladies runs into a tree somewhere in Knoxville tonight. Then I would get to work...
I like my job. I really do. I wouldn't want to do anything else. So why the fudge can't I do my job? I also like the really critical babies which I haven't been seeing a lot of. All my kids have been weighing 4lbs and up...no fun there. I like my babies around 2lbs and with issues....stuff to do....things to change....work that makes a difference. I know I know...the big fat babies need love too, but I just don't get the same feeling of satisfaction when dealing with "intermediate" infants as I do with "critical" infants.
My dog is a pooping machine (dont you love how I can just switch subjects like that....I can turn on a dime...I am amazing to behold.....
he's got the runs...and it aint pretty. We've been feeding him pumpkin to help and I hope we can hold off going to the vet until Friday (when he has to go anyway for shots). he's sleeping and farting right by my feet now. Ahhh....puppy farts.
Let's see....what else??
Oh, mi hermanita is coming to mi casa in about 2 weeks. That should be fun. Our day will involve watching puppies (making sure Dougal does not eat tala) and eating food. I have dinners already planned out! YAY fo food. not much else to do in town (well, I am sure there is, but I dont get out much so I dont know about it....I can't go out...I have a puppy...and carpet....those two are not compatible with a fun social life.) I spend my days sitting around with the incredible pooping machine (I swear we do not feed him that much...he just creates poop out of nothing....his intestines must be bored and just want to screw with me). I smell of dog. His but is getting a bath in about 2 weeks...right before my mom and sister come up so he is all cute and fluffy...
I guess I should say "come down" seeing as I am in a Southern State. Not much difference from the midwest. Everyone talks slower here....(I refuse to say knox-vul...it's Knox-ville....say what the letters tell you to people...it doesn't take that much longer). They also have weird slang. I have said y'all (you-all) before..I am guilty...but these people....oh these people take it one step farther....they say y'uns (you-uns?) What the hell is a you-uns? It doesn't even make sense....what could it possible stand for? everyone knows y'all is a lazy way of saying you-all....bu what the fudge is a y'uns
They also drink sweet tea....ALL THE TIME. I drink a lot of hot tea...which they find weird. They also find it weird that I put milk and sugar in my hot tea...
They also have a strange attraction to salt. I have seen these people put salt on everything....apples, watermelon, cereal....it's just not natural man....
gotta go...time to take Dougal to the potty....and by potty I mean yard....
