Update!
It's been another long stretch since I've posted. Not that anyone reads this (except Karen because she rocks!), but here's a quick update on life since I last posted:
School's back in. Ugh! But I'm only taking two classes: Baroque and Classic Music History, and Architecture and Decor (which is almost kicking my butt). And I'm only working two, maybe three days a week, so that's not too bad except on the paycheck. I must be on someone's bad side, though, since they are having me work double shifts on the days I do work (like 9:30am to 1am this coming Friday, for example) back to back!
Hopefully, that will be fixed soon and I can get some sleep! Wicked is coming back to Tampa and I'm getting tickets for us through Busch Gardens. I'm so excited! On top of that, Joanna and I are going to see Jack Jones in concert (for $10 a ticket!)! Woohoo!
I may not be making more money at work, but I'm getting my financial situation in order. Always a good thing. I'm dumping a credit card that had an extortionate interest rate and I just got another card with a much better one to transfer most of the balance to. It's a happy day for me when my monthly interest rate fee is less than my minimum payment due.
Two CDs are coming out that I really want to get: Evanescence's "The Open Door" (already out, but I'm saving my pennies for Wicked), and Josh Groban's "Awake" (Nov. 7). The latter CD I will be purchasing the day it comes out! My willpower isn't quite that strong to resist the call of Josh. . .
And on a completely different note, why do animals and children always get the short end of the stick? Our neighbors have the sweetest dog. It's black and is a fairly large breed. They always leave it tied up outside, and the leash they use often gets tangled around the tree it's attached to and the dog gets caught up in it as well. I never see them play with him and he rarely has food or water outside. They treat him so badly and he's such a sweet-tempered dog! There is a chainlink fence between our yards and if he's close enough and there's no one outside, I will often go and pet him or give him a little treat. Whenever he sees me and Joanna, he stands up and his tail just starts going! If it wasn't illegal and we had room in the house, I'd say let's kidnap the little guy and keep him! Unfortunately, we don't have the indoor room (though we have plenty outdoors) and our four cats may mind a little bit, besides the fact that he's already owned and I would be stealing. . . Dang it.
As to our aunts' poor dog, Penny, she is at least 15 years old. She is a Lhasa apso and Daschund mix; she's short, long and has a lot of fur. At this present moment, she is nothing but skin and bones, has patchy fur to say the least, has no appetite, can't go outside by herself (most of the time, can't even move by herself!), and she is nearly completely blind and deaf. She's been having accidents lately, and since she has been unable to move she's been laying in them. They would give her a bath, but they say it would be too much for her. They say she has her good days and her bad days, but to me, they are all bad days! I know they don't want to have to let go of her since they've had her for so long, but they need to do what's best for her! She has to be suffering. Every time I see her, I wonder if it'll be the last time. The poor baby just needs to go to sleep. Why can't they do what's best for her and let her go? :*-(
