The month of August isn't even close to over yet and it's already been extremely chaotic for me....But in a good way at least.

On the 1st my friend Richie from New Jersey came to visit and we had all kinds of awesome fun just hanging out and joking around. He got to stay for an entire week this time, it's usually only a couple of days, if that that he stays. So he got here on Saturday the 1st and on Wednesday the 5th, Adam picked me up from work and when I came out, I gestured for him get out of the drivers side so I could drive home. When I get to the window he tells me that I can't drive because we have one more stop to make and he can't tell me where it is, so I get in the passenger seat. He starts driving and tells me that we're going to play a game and the game is, Richie is going to play a sound clip (I'm assuming from his cell phone) my job is to guess who said it, how long ago I heard it and where it was that this happened. So I'm thinking "okay this is weird but whatever, might be fun". Adam tells Richie to play the clip and I'm waiting to hear it but I don't hear anything, so Adam tells him to play it again and suddenly from the back seat I hear my friends voice say "Hippopotimees" (I know that's not spelled correctly I did it on purpose because the word was not pronounced correctly either ) and I just turn around and my best friend in the entire world, Heather pops up from the floor of the car where she was hiding under a blanket. I was so happy to see her that I started crying and laughing at the same time. I hadn't seen that girl in 3 years. It turns out that as a birthday gift, Adam flew her out to visit for a week from Michigan. So all 4 of us were having the time of our lives until Richie left on Saturday the 8th and Heather on Wednesday the 12th. I miss her like crazy now that she's gone, but it was good to have her here while it lasted.

During that time period, Richie paid for me to get a new piercing (spider bites on the left side of my bottom lip) as a birthday gift. Heather being here was a gift in itself and Adam got me a ton of other stuff. My actual birthday was yesterday the 15th and I turned 21 (FINALLY!) and tonight Adam and I and a TON of friends are going to a (for lack of a better term) strip club in Springfield Massachusetts called Mardi Gras for drinks and tons of fun. So all in all it's been an amazing 16 days so far.

Hope you're all well

So after about two months of waiting and getting highly annoyed and frustrated on a daily basis, I finally bought a car. We got it yesterday after everything was squared away and settled down...now all I need it my drivers license hehe. But I'm working on that, I'm going to be the one to drive pretty much everywhere until I feel comfortable enough and ready to take the test.

Also, things at work have been going well so not as many people have been getting on my nerves, I would like to find a new job preferably one that pays a little more but I don't see that happening anytime in the near future. I've also been shooting a lot more lately and am just waiting to get photos back from photographers and stuff.

Adam, Austin and I are going to New Hampshire this weekend took, for the Fourth...though I'm not going for the same reasons they want to...I hate fireworks (well the noise at least)I'm just going because I haven't been camping in so long. Anyway, enough of this....(I don't really like updating but I feel like I need to sometimes to let you all know that I"m at least alive). I hope you're all doing well, and that you have a wonderful Fourth.

As usual, not a whole lot has been going on, but a few things have happened in the last month or so that possibly bare mentioning in a journal. For one, Adam and I no longer have a vehicle. Our car decided it was done and died on us so now we have to use our room mates car or his girlfriends to get me to and from work...annoying. As soon as Adam gets his next payment though, we're getting a new car..or more like a new used car since neither of us can afford anything brand new.

Other news: My kitten is doing well. She's a monster but she's adorable and I"ll be posting some photos to my scraps soon. I've had a few shoots lately that went nicely, now I'm just waiting to get the photos from one of them. I got a raise at work...after having been there for a year...I"m starting to sell my crocheted and knitted garments, blankets and amigurumi, and have had business cards printed for this that should be arriving in the mail any day now. And for the best and most exciting bit of news, I'm getting my first tattoo done today. It's a large Celtic knot work piece and it will cover my right side. The artist is the ever amazing Kevin Stiles I can't wait to get it done and get some photos taken to put up, I"m super excited and little nervous...but I think I can handle it. Anyway, enough rambling from me. I hope you're all doing well, take care.

Okay so we're pretty much settled in the new place now, we still have a few things to unpack but it's all coming along nicely. The unfortunate thing about our new residence is that it's now 20 mile further from where I work, so it's costing me about $80 a week for fuel and that's pretty ridiculous. I'm searching for a new job in the area and hoping for the best...meanwhile I'll just have to deal.

Today is Adam's 34th birthday (though he doesn't look 34 at all...maybe 24) and I'm spoiling him rotten. I got him a t-shirt he mentioned and he seems to love it, I baked him a lemon cake and we're going to dinner later on also. When we get home from the restaurant, we're gonna watch a movie and gorge ourselves on junk food.

Today I'm also getting a kitten, I"m leaving shortly to pick it up and then I'm going to the pet store to get food and stuff for it...I'm super excited because I've been wanting another one since my last was catnapped by some woman who lived in our complex. I can't wait to bring the cuddly little thing home

A couple of weeks ago I also got my hair cut short (okay not short short, just shoulder length) and it's all blue now, no more black. This had to happen because we had a bleaching accident. we usually use a 20 volume bleach on my roots before we put the blue in, well this last time we did the 20 vol. on my roots and my friend Addam (the one who does my hair) decided he wanted to get some of the black out. So he used a 30 vol. on the black portion of my hair (like the instructions said to use) and we put a bag over my head to let it process....well about 5 mins later I could feel the heat from it but didn't think much of it until I got an itchy spot and I reached up to rub my head (no scratching I'm a good girl) and it felt like the bag was melting to my head, so I told Addam and he pulled the bag off....my hair was steaming! so I jumped in the shower to rinse it out and when I conditioned it I was pulling out large clumps of hair...everything was breaking off from the black down. I guess what happened is the bleach reacted with the metal in the black hair dye and it burned the hair (I didn't know there was metal in the black dye) so I lost all the hair in the middle of my head from the black down, and went to the salon the next afternoon for a nice new haircut that I love....but anyway sorry about the long story, I just thought it'd be kind of fun to share. Hope you're all doing well take care.

Blessings,

So my computer has finally given up...I'm probably going to be using Adam's until I get my new one, I've almost got the money saved for it so it shouldn't be long....still kind of sucks though but when I get the new one I'll be able to upload once more woohoo!


There have also been some problems with the moving. The closing date was supposed to be today but because somone screwed up the paperwork it looks like it'll be on Tuesday. We can't stay here past the 28th (tomorrow) so we'll most likely be staying with some friends for a couple of days or holed up in a hotel until the closing happens and I have to go back to work on Sunday grrrr....I need to find a job in Colchester....
