Big Change #2

To recap...the first big change in my life was selling my house in Mason. I should be closing on it here in a week or so. That was my first big life change.

Second big life change:

I would like to announce that I no longer teach at Mason. I resigned from my position....


However...I did get a new job. Actually two of them. I am now a part time professor at Alma College teaching Art Education, and I got a new teaching job at Holt! Go Holt Rams! That's right I am teaching in the district I graduated from. I am totally excited and can't wait. I actually have to be back next week...so much for summer.

Cedar Point

Took a three day vacation to Ohio this weekend. It was a blast. Holly and I took her niece and nephew. We stayed with her aunt and uncle. We spent yesterday at Cedar Point. It was so fun. We met up with her step-sister Fawn and her husband Darren. So there were 7 of us cruisin' the "Point". It was a day of first. Bradley (Hol's nephew) rode his first upside down roller coaster. Her niece rode her first roller coaster ever and cried riding on the Gemini but faced her fear. We were so proud! Like I said...good times.

Moving Party

If you want to be a good friend....then you should show up at my house around 1 pm on Sunday and help me move to my parents...there isn't that much stuff...but the more the merrier. If you want to be a super duper friend...then you will come over on Saturday and help me pack :o)

I hope to see you all there...let me know if you are coming so I can order enough pizza ;o)

Prayer Request...

I have a couple of big events happening in the next week or so. I just wanted to ask that those of you who feel compelled to pray that God doesn't let me into a situation where he doesn't want me to be...that he protects me from getting in over-my-head situations...that I don't go chasing rainbows and looking for fools gold. Some of you know what I am talking about and some of you don't. I won't post all of the situations that I am about to face...but one of them is moving...into my parents basement for a few months...the rest...I will get back to you on them. One is happening August 8th at 9:00am. I will keep you all updated and in suspenseful prayer...hopefully! ;O)

Flippin' Sweet Hot Tubs

My dad is now selling Hot tubs at his furniture store! They are sweet!!! and of course cost a lot less than other stores...the best part...they are about 1/2 of the retail value! They are factory direct with all their warranty and all that jazz! Mill Creek Depot Rocks!

Changing Dog food...

I have a finicky dog...and his name is Titan. He eats his frickin' food one nugget at a time. It is crazy...100lb yellow lab that eats like a dainty little old woman. My other dog scarffs his food down in less than two minutes...with Titan you have to literally sit there so he'll eat. He has anxiety or some stupid thing...it is ridicules! So I decided maybe it is the food.

I mixed some of his old little nugget food with some new Big nugget food. It was amazing, he just picked around the other food to ate the new food all up...and eventually all the food. About six hours later...it hits!

Holl..."Joey what the heck is that smell...."
Me...."oh my gosh...**gagging**...that is the most rank stentch ever!"
Holl.."Which dog is that?"
Me..."it's gotta be Titan."

It was totally Titan. He had/has the worst gas I have ever been sudjected to me all my life. It literally makes yours eyes water.

Me.."Let's take them for a walk"
Holl.."ok, but let's take bags in case of # 2's"
Me..**reluctant**"ok...it is the right thing to do...right?!"
Holl.."we need to be responsible pet owners...."

Ten minutes later...Cain takes a dump...I have to clean it up...should've left it, but I didn't...Holly and I both start gagging uncontrollably...it was pretty gross and funny at the same time. We were laughing at how pathetic we both were because other people always do this...and we had just decided to do this for the first time...it was kind of hillarious. When we finished laughing, we put the poo in the nearest trash can and proceeded.

Ten minutes later...a couple is walking behind us with a kid...Titan decides he need to defacate...and I am like damn! Sure enough...wretched stentch and runny nasty crap...and I have to clean it up.

As I am trying not to puke...

Couple..."Ahh...the joy of having dogs."

Me..face beat red and trying not to vomit..."yah...it's great!"
Holly...trying to not laugh at me histerically..."Dogs are great!"

As they pass...it is all I can do not to spew chunks on the sidewalk and I speedily get rid of sed dookie suprize into the nearest dumpster. Let that be a lesson to all you who want to do the right thing...sometimes doing the right thing stinks!
