tomorrow it is off to see claudia show cows at the cheshire county fair. she has won best in show for the past few years, so karen and dust and i are taking the day off to go to the fair. none of us have ever seen a cow show before, so we should be in for a treat. i am excited.
today was a good day. i worked with abby which is always the best. allison and the boys came by at lunch to tell me they get to close on their new home on august 12th. that is so exciting. then they are set for a whirlwind month. getting things ready, moving in, etc. should be fun to watch and help. then after work karen made us dinner and we talked to the caterers for a work party. we are looking to set a dinner for the best customers,and the proceeds will go to charity. should be good. it is being catered by the people who catered our rehearsal dinner. yummy!
kristin is off to the dominican to see her honey for 10 days. that is good for her. we finally got around to giving her a card and a check. we are such slackers, but we do get things done.
i am starting my scholarship papers for my school. i stand to win 3500 in free money. i just have to write a few papers. one on "i believe i should get this scholarship because..." for that one i wanted to do a little something like bill clinton's speech about still believing in a place called hope. only have it based on the fact that i have lived in putney for five years and gotten to know the people so well through the farm...and how we as a community support each other, and how they need me to be a chiropractor... "i still believe in a place called dummerston" we'll call it. :)
the second paper is about "the adversities and awards i have accumulated on my to chiropractic school." i was going to write about how i have never been mistaken for the valedictorian, and i almost have several undergraduate degrees including the one i actually received in journalism, and how i can use all these random skills i have learned in my desired field of chiropractic.
if you guys have any ideas i would love to hear them. really. please help. i need free money. i will talk to you all soon!

it is out there
dust and i finally had "the talk". the one where i address all my issues and he listens (or not, but i think he does, so he does a good job at pretending). i had a tough week. i think i have plantar fasciitis ( described earlier), couple that with my job...it is just to much to bear sometimes. he is right i do take my emotions out on him. i just hope he knows that he gets the brunt of all of my happiness as well as my frustration. but i am sure my happiness is interpreted as me "overreacting." while i am not completely sure that our talk will help anything or that it was even good, i no longer feel like divorce is imminent. so that is good.
i also have three and a half tidbits of good news. here is the first--my dear friends are officially going to own their own home. their kids will have a yard, they will have a real garden, they will have next door neighbors (instead of upstairs neighbors), they will have colorful walls, and a new refrigerator... i am so excited for the hott little monsters, i just can't stand it.
my brother also bought a home. i am equally excited for him and his wife and daughter. they will now be in california for at least as long as we will be. it will be nice to be close to my family again. but he will be half an hour further away than before. but that is still closer than 3000 miles. it is so funny because i remember when my brother was born, when he would sleep in my dad's white t shirts--they were so big, and he looked like an angel. looks are deceiving with that one, though, and i look forward to getting to tell that baby emma all the silly stories about her father. starting in one month.
melissa got a job. a real job. i can't say i've ever known melissa to have a proper job. so i am excited for her. she will be moving to the bay area by mid august, now. she was planning on being there by october, but fate has a way of looking out for me, because now she will be there to scope out apartments for dust and claudia and i. i think melissa will love working. she will hate (and i mean HATE) waking up in the am hours, but she will be a success, and that will make up for it.
the half bit of good news comes from the fact that our friend from work, heidi pancake (real name) won some tickets to an amusement park in new hampshire, and gave them to dust and i. i love roller coasters. so i can't wait. i hope it works out. --we'll see.
those are my three and a half tidbits of goods. i hope they are not done. (the goods) lord knows, i need all the help i can get.

been a while
so here are the main points that have happened:
1. work.
2. ryan came for a visit. stayed a day longer than he planned. that was nice to have him here.
3. showed the batman begins on the big screen here at the house. fun night.
4. got manicures with one hott mama.
5. went to burlington with quinn. (later that week was featured with said q in a commercial for her work.)
6. played a lot of rock band. love that game.
7. think i have plantar fasciitis. it is where the bottom of your foot hurts really bad when your foot is straightened out (like standing on it) due to micro tears in the fascia (the part that holds muscle to skin). basically, ouch! especially when my job title is "standee".
8. saw batman first night. recommend.
9. saw hellboy II. also liked, but batman is better.
10. lost power here for 2+ hours and made weird passes at jimmy valente as dustin took away the only flashlight (what can i say, there was mood lighting.)
11. got tickets to california (september 3rd).
12. looking for a moving van.
13. dreamed about a new couch from ikea.
14. made a b in my online organic chem class. two words--summer and vacation come to mind.
15. started reading a new pink book. pink books have not been a part of my life since january. i say it is high time they got reintroduced.
16. lost a lot of sleep due to potential move and school and loans for said school.
17. tubed in the west river--twice. the first time no bruises. the second time, the water was lower and bruises appeared where my f-a had dragged itself into rocks. another ouch.
18. talked to parents, jamie and melissa recently. parents are redoing their yard, jamie had a birthday and melissa may have gotten a job. all three are reasons to celebrate--just in case you needed a reason.
19. the hott mama and her monstrous love may have actually bought a home. i am really excited for them.
20. kristin got married to kelvin. he is still in the d. r. and may be there for two years, but at least he can come here again one day.
these are the top 20 things that have happened. no order. just as i thought of them. if you have questions, or want more details on one, just let me know.

why is it that...
so i have a friend (this one is real. not like the others.)...this friend is feeling scared because he has everything he has worked for a year and a half to get. he is scared that these things will be taken away. he is scared because his grand mother is in the hospital. he is scared because he is paranoid. so i told him that his grandmother is not looking back on her life right now thinking about all the times she worried about something. and then i told him that even if he looses everything he has accumulated (a positive female relationship, a record contract, good times with friends...) all these things can be gotten again. am i right? just looking for back up. why when things are going are way do we worry? i do it. do you do it? creepy stenographer here, gets worried when things are wonderful. why? am i paranoid, too. of course i am. but why? do you get it, too. why can we not just revel in what we worked so hard to achieve? why can we not be proud of the fact that we have relationships, steady work (or not steady work--hm), we are happy with our current situation. why does there always have to be more,and why do we worry about it? you be my therapist. thanks team.
