....$600 later.
my poor puppy
.
i took sherlock to the vet this morning cuz hes had these horrible ear infections since about january. --to the point that u could see and smell it. i'd taken him to the vet 2 other times & got meds for him. spent almost $100 both times. the infection would clear up some then be back again a month later
.
so this time they decided they were going to clean 'em out real good there and do some tests but sherlock's ears were so bad that he wouldn't let them even hardly look..thats where anesthesia comes into the picture. they had to knock out my poor puppy.
i went in about a half hour ago to pick him up. they gave me more medicine to give him while they're waiting for the tests to come back. gave him a shot to calm him down. tacked over $400 on the mothers credit card
. ((thank you momma!!))
...and i get to go back for a checkup next week.
man.
i had to laugh tho. the shot they gave him rilly hit hard, i guess. he was stumbling around like a lil drunkard. hes passed out on the floor next to me right now. pooch has had a rough day
.
this dog. i love him like crazy... but so much time, worry, and money? theres no way i'll ever be able to handle havin kids

its been a long (but good) weekend. friday seriously feels like a month ago. i don't even remember what i did..
yesterday, as i mentioned before, i got up early for that philly project and spent a couple hours doin yard work. came home, took a shower, and went up to the church for amanda's wedding shower. soo many people and soo many gifts--her & billy are 2 of the coolest people i know and they definitely deserve the best so i was excited to see such a good turn out. and i'm pretty sure amanda still has 2 more showers so they will be all set when they move into their place after the wedding. after the shower, i had to go out to the cafe. we were totally dead but the time passed quickly for the most part. one of the regulars had a birthday so i drove to the acme and got him a cake and we sang happy b-day to him which was fun. sat outside after my shift was over and talked to some amusing folks for a while and then around 11, erica and i went to applebees. on the way home from that, i was soooo tired & more than a lil loopy...i started to laugh and couldn't stop for the longest time. i dont know y i started but it got to the point where i was laughing at the fact that i was still laughing. when i finally calmed down, my stomach was seriously sore from laughing so much.
today i got up and went to sunday school. this month the youth group and college class has been combined. it was entertaining at the very least. church was good.
then the philly meeting.. this summer is crazy crazy busy for me and philly, to be honest, isn't at the top of my priorities. i know everyone else has a lot going on too and i do i feel bad about it but between my summer class and getting ready for spain, i've been ignoring the philly trip a bit
kevin was clearly frustrated during our philly meeting and i can't say that i blame him... i know i never sent out support letters and from the way he was talking it sounds like there are others who haven't either.. i just don't feel comfortable asking people for money for this. i struggled for a long time with whether or not i should go on the trip at all and i've tried to participate in the other fundraising deals but i just don't feel right about asking people for money.... my mom said she would give some..i don't know how much but hopefully it will be.......satisfactory ((for lack of a better word)).
anyways..so i after the meeting i rushed home and left with the mother to go to one of her friends houses for this thing she was doing. just got home from that a lil bit ago and i'm totally dead. my allergies have been completely awful today and i just wanna curl up in my bed and sleep for 12 hours or more...but thats not gonna happen. i have to type up this thing for a trial my mom played stenographer at...then i get to write my paper for class. goody.
well i'm off to be "productive".
peace out

i'm bored:
The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.
You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.
Your Birthdate: July 19
Your birth on the 19th day of the month adds a tone of independence and extra energy to your life path. But at the same time, it poses a number of obstacles to overcome before you are able to be as independent as you would like. The number 1 energy suggests more executive ability and leadership qualities than your path may have indicated. A birthday on the 19th of any month gives greater will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach. However, a somewhat self-centered approach to life that may be in conflict with some of the other influences in your life. This 1 energy may diminish your ability and desire to handle details, preferring instead to paint with a broad brush. You are sensitive, but your feeling stay somewhat repressed. You have a compelling manner that can be dominating in many situations. You do not tend to follow convention or take advice very well. Consequently, you tend to learn through experience; sometimes hard experiences. The 19/1 is a loner number and you may experience feelings of being alone even if you are married. You may take on a tendency to be nervous and angry.

Life goes on.
i guess that phrase is just hitting me now after almost 20 years. is that sad?
what i think is sad is that some of the people i considered my "best friends" only a year a go have seemingly forgotten all about me and moved on. i remember the last day i was at Malone. lots of hugs. lots of promises on both sides. i guess people shouldn't make any promises cuz theres a fairly decent chance they're gonna be broken. people get busy and time passes. Life goes on.
so speaking of life going on--short lived summer. i go back to school tomorrow for my summer class. i don't figure it will be difficult. its a seminar in english called women and film. 400 level but, from what i've heard, a good prof. its every day from 9:45 - 11:15. not too early but early enuf that i should be in bed right about now.
on that note, i'm off.

i think thats prolly about right...
its funny how by simply mentioning the words "conservative" and "liberal" people can get so worked up. u say u are a ______ and with nothing else to go on, people have already developed their opinion(s) of you.
well i will say this: i am neither.
i am just me.
i have opinions and ideas that may be more or less liberal or conservative than the next person's but i do not identify myself with one particular word. i think it is sad that we feel we can--or need to--define ourselves with one word..or even a few. "i am _____, ______, and ______." and thats the end of the sentence.
thats not me. -
why hasn't anyone been posting here lately? ok, it hasn't been that long but i'm doing everything in my power to procrastinate as much as possible: I have a little more than 50 words left to meet the minimum requirement on the AmLit paper i'm working on right now and i've been racking my brain for some other load of BS to throw in there but i'm stuck. and its not even like its this crazy length--only 750 words!! i can't even get 750 words out any more?!? man. def. time for the end of the semester. also, i've been trying to study for my linguistics exam which is tomorrow (TODAY).. i've made decent progress there but i just don't have enuf or a steady enuf level of concentration and motivation... its all gone.
o so tired.
i totally feel your pain, kitty.
