So it looks like i am going to be doing this once a month now huh?So what happened in April? I turned 22 and am starting to feel old! I had to file harassment charges against Frank and change my number. I cut my hair. I decided what i wanna be when i grow up. And i spent the last day in the hospital. So here are the details!

I had my birthday and turned 22. I had a great birthday. April went down hill fast from there. I realized that i didn't have all the time in the world to get things figured out anymore. So i am getting my butt in gear. I am going to go back to school. I'm going to be a thoracic surgeon. I'm going to be in school for ages. But oh well. I don't have kids, I'm not married, and if i gotta go into debt to go back to school, I might as well go back for something that i REALLY want to do, not just something that i could do. I talked to the counselor and i have to go back next week. so we will see!

After my birthday Frank started showing up at my apartment and blowing up my phone. When i continued to ignore him he called my boss and family to tell them horrible lies about me. I talked to my roommates, who are also affected by his insanity, and we decided that the best thing to do would be to get a restraining order, file charges and change all of my contact information. so we did. and now we are thinking about getting a different apartment so he cant show up here. Well if he does he goes to jail, but still I'm constantly worrying that hes at the door. I cant wait for the divorce to be final and him to just be gone!


I'm trying to grow out my hair. But something happened and the last six inches just started to fray. I tried everything to fix it. And nothing. So my roommate Elissa(who is also a hair stylist) cut it for me. Then we died it. so now i am starting over... but it looks cute! Sadly the ends keep fraying. So I'm not sure what to do about that!

So I have had a really bad cough and sore throat the last couple days. Bad enough that yesterday morning i decided i was going to go the doctor on Monday. Well Friday night at work i got really hot and couldn't breath So my friend Sara made me go sit outside till i could breath. She thought i was stressing over other things. When really i forgot my inhaler at home and my cough is just really bad. so Then Saturday night i got to work and had been there for an hour and i started coughing and couldn't stop. I drank three water bottles trying to cool myself off so i could maybe breath easier. and i just couldn't. I don't know why. It was just SO HOT! So Darcy was standing next to me in the kitchen and she looked at me and said are you okay? and i shook my head and started crying. I DONT EVEN KNOW WHY! so she said go to the bathroom and wash your face ill watch your table. So i started walking to the bathroom and i was dizzy and shaking and i was still not able to get enough air to feel right. And i had my inhaler on me but i kept using it and it wasn't helping. Well i made it to the bathroom and my crying got completely out of control which made it harder and harder to breath and i was so hot that sweat was just pouring down my face, well one of the girls was in there and she asked if i wanted Shelly (the manager) and i said no. So she got Darcy cuz she is a MA. Really i wanted to just let it pass. so she came running in there and was able to help me get my breathing a littte better under control, while Shelly called 911 because i was still not breathing as well as i would have liked and They wouldnt listen to me when i told them to jsut wait. The EMT showed up, made me get on the stretcher IN FRONT OF EVERYONE! and go with them. Well it turns out my blood sugar was really low, my thyroid is totally out of whack, I have a upper respiratory infection and was really dehydrated, and when i couldn't breath i guess it triggered a panic attack.I dont understand how i could be dehydrated though! I only drink water! I dont drink pop, I dont like juice. I only like water. and i drink about a gallon a day, without exagerating. Im alway thirsty, so i drink a lot. Even my freind that came with me was all, 'Are you sure she is dehydrated? she drinks more water then i have ever seen anyone drink.no lie' but whatever they put me on oxygen and gave me a IV. and about half way into the IV i felt FINE! So i guess they were right...I feel fine now, really stupid, but fine. they finally released me at nine and i went home and went to bed. but i have to go back to the doctor tomorrow. So we will see what he says.

So that's April. I'm crossing my fingers may goes a different direction!

HELLO WORLD
I am alive! Sorry it was been SOSOSO long since i blogged last! I have missed it! I promise to be a lot more better about it! I have FINALLY got Internet in the apt!I know i know about time! so whats new with me... I guess we will start in...
December. I moved out of Mine and franks apt and into my own. It was a tough month but i made it through. I got to spend Christmas with my family so that was great. I had a lot of fun. Then i worked like CRAZY!
January-January was hard. I worked way to much and slept way to little and just broke. Luckily i have great Friends who cleared my schedule and i was able to go home and spent good quality time with them. It was really good. I stayed only one night, cuz that's as much as i could smash in. i am so thankful that i live close to my mom and dad again. Sometimes all i need is to go home to find myself again. sadly i had to go back to real life. but i love having them close!
February- oh February was so fun! I loved February! It started out kinda slow at work so i was able to catch up on sleep and down time. then valentines day hit! And OH MAN! I was SLAMMED! we were SO busy at work it was insane! My Friend Elissa was my Valentine so we wouldn't be lonely! then i got bronchitis and wasn't allowed to work so i got to go to my parents! for almost a week! It was AWESOME! It snowed! and we got to build a snowman! like it really REALLY snowed! I was SO happy! i had a really good visit. I REALLY didn't wanna go back to Lake Jackson! but when i did come back everyone there had missed me to! So it was worth it. hah!
March was okay. Not great. Frank and mine third year anniversary would have been on the tenth. So i had a hard first of the month. But one day Flory surprised me by driving up for the night! so that made me happy! then spring break hit and work got b usy. so that was nice. Till it died! after spring break we have been the slowest ever! I went through a lot of doodle paper and caught up on my reading!Oh but i did get to go the Houston rodeo and see Gary Allen with one of my friends. It was really fun. I had a great time! but then again i did get in a car accident and now i have to drive a stupid rental for two weeks. Im okay. It wasnt my fault. SHe rear ended me going forty five and totalled her car. mine just had minor damage. so march kinda balanced from good to bad
Now its April! And so far its been.... AWESOME! I had three days off this week! THREE! I didn't know what to do with myself! and my birthday was yesterday and it was just fabulous! I have such great friends! I just love them! I dont kno what i would be doing without them. My birthday just was great. We didnt do anything dramatic. we went to dinner and a movie(bounty hunter with Gerald butler and Jennifer anistin) then a bunch of my friends from work came over and just hung out at me house. It was so funny. we just sat in a circle and gossiped forever then we watched phantom of the opera -well it ended up being more in the background- and still everyone left earlyish so i got a lot of sleep. then i woke up and it wa late and sunny and we went to lunch and work was good. So sofar April has benn awesome.
Thats whats going on with me in a nut shell. sorry this is rushed and crazy,. I am trying to squeeze this in before bed. Ill post pics on... monday. If im off!

new job

okay so i know i said i would put pics up. but i seriously havent had time. I will take one tonight and post it, haha. here is what is new with me.... I started a new job and its really a lot of fun. Its a Japanese hibachi place and sushi bar. Its a lot of work though. It just opened last monday and i have been working everyday. here is what i do...
I get there about ten (nine on wed and Thursdays) First thing i do is get a big pan thats about four inches deep and over fill it with steamed rice get a bunch of eggs and veggies and go put it out on one of the hibachi grills so a chef can cook it (the hibachi grill is when the chef come out and cooks in front of you) then i cut about thirty cucumbers and two huge bowls of lemons and two bowls of tomato's so i can make at least eighty salads (which will only last till about 1230. and we open at 11)
I have to heat up the sauce for... well actually i dont know what its for i just know i have to heat it up.
then i fill all the dressing jars-there is 10. getting the dressing is the hardest part. Why you ask? because i have to get into the walk in and find it. Our walkin is TINY and nothing is where you would think it is. If you ask one of the kitchen guys they will walk in there with no difficulties and get whatever you need like it doesnt weigh eighty five million pounds. when i try to do it i often get stuff and end up tied in a knot trying to lift something. when i finally make it back out nine times out of ten i find out i grabbed the wrong thing... i am getting better. At finding stuff. not at getting stuck. The chefs all think its hilarious.
then i make tea and about fifty or more soups(which again will be gone by 1230) i have to get out the edemame(soy beans) and put them on ice.then i fill all the soy sauce while watching my friend cook the fried rice.
when all thats done i put my uniform on-technically i am sopposed to have it on this whole time... but i dont like to so i dont.- and make sure my tables are clean and all that.
Then we open and its CRAZY! I usually only do hibachi so its not hard. I have two tables that can hold twelve people each and they always have at least ten. I get the drinks then i take there order and go get there salad. which i have to get on this tray thats bigger then me. I have tokneel down to get enough leverage toget it on my shoulder. i am getting super good at it though. I can get it with one hand now. which if you saw this tray you would understand how impressive it is.
I burn myself atleat twice a day on the grill cuz i am not tall enough to reach over it to hand people there stuff. also i forget its hot. Even though i am the one who turns it on...
Then the chef comes out and i watch the show. I still really like watching them. and i have seen over a hundred for sure. I still always jump when my friend slaps the knife on the rim. and when then they throw the empty egg. each cook has kinda there own show. They do a lot of the same but in there own way. Its fun.
At the end of the night we turn off all the hibachis clean up all the rice(which is everywhere) clean all the tea and pop area. I have to clean out the salad cooler and the dessert area and the rice makers. and clean all the trays and all that. pretty much everything idid that morning but in reverse. I usually get out of there at eleven-eleven thirty at night. its a long day.
but we are all friends now. Mostly cuz we all havent had time to have a life, or sleep, so we all kinda lean on each other to make it trhough the day. our poor cooks never stop going. My boss is really cool. He gets stressed during our rushes but by the end of the night hes joking with us. My managers are way cool too. We all goof off together. its a lot of fun. by the end of the night we are all hanging out in the back just munching of whatever the one cook who doesn't talk, well i assume he talks but i have never heard him, made.
Im past the point where im tired and sore and im just numb now. Since last Tuesday i have worked ninety two hours. and lost over ten pounds and three pant sizes. also i have learned that those five hour energy shots really work. I am a kinda bizarre person to begin with and always am kinda going to my own beat. Well when i take one of those i really cant sit still. One of the girls at work asked me why i walk so funny. Haha. I dont. Im just loopy from no sleep and hyper from taking those to stay awake. Haha. But the last couple days i think people have figured it out. cuz they start walking/dancing/whatever you call it that i do right along with me. haha. That or we have all lost our minds.. haha.
I am really enjoying it though. I have even tried Sushi! the raw stuff. It wasn't bad. Im not saying i am going to eat it everyday. but now know i could eat it without dying haha. I am also trying to branch out on eating the sushi rolls. But for some reason those freak me out. probably cuz the chefs keep freaking me out by walking up behind me with crabs and squid and octopus. ggggggaaaaagggg.
So today is my first day off. And i couldn't be more excited. But i have no idea what to do. I am going to clean my house and go get my nails done. and i probably should go grocery shopping. and not put any makeup on. haha. but i feel kinda lost. Its weird. I will put pics up of my uniform tonight.

Long week.

Okay so i dont have any pictures for this week. But it has been a very long weekso i decided i would give an update.

Monday Frank got to go pick out all new things for the gally that they are remodeling this week and i worked.

Tuesday we drove an hour to my doctors office to get all my bloodwork and checkups done. then went out to eat. AND DUMM DA DU DUMMMM Frank quit smoking!

Wednesday we went to a food show in Houston with Frank boss and by that night i wanted to kill him. He is not a nice person when he wants to smoke.

Thursday was the first day of two weeks that frank would have to work every day so by the time he made it home that night he was tired and very mean.

Friday we had to go back to the doctor because this time the right one would be there. We got all my blood back and of course my TSH is low again so i have to go back in two weeks. but thats nothing new.

So that brings us to Saturday. Nothing exciting happened Saturday or Sunday expect frank is getting a little less testy.

Or so i thought till Monday morning when i asked when he was going to take a shower and he blew up. apparently he is meaner in the morning. I hadn't noticed because He usually leaves while i am still asleep but this is the week they are tearing the gally down and putting it back together but bigger and nicer so he didnt have to go to work till ten. So we got ready for work together

Last night Frank decided to spend the night at work so they could get more done (the faster they get done the more days they get off) so i got a lot done here. I cleaned the carpet in the family room. worked on laundry and went to bed early. IT was a very relaxing night.

So thats what happened this week. not super exciting. But for me it was very busy. Hope everyone elses week went good too! and i promise next post will have pictures!

MR hendrix

Okay so i dont have any kids and nothing super exciting happens at our house. So when anything does i take advantage of it. It was Hendrix birthday on saturday. He turned two . And yes he is my dog but if it werent for him id go crazy. We didnt have a party (Honestly we would have if i had looked at the calender at least once the week before... )But i did get his a gift and gave it to him while frank wasnt home. Cuz frank tends to steal them and take the noise makers out... Even thoguh the noise makers only last about five minutes. He has very sharp teeth. and he loved it. SO here are some pics of him killing his toy!

This is him opening it! Still opening it, and tipping over the newly folded clothes
He got it open! Ypu cant tell but it is a zebra that makes horse noise And by the time he made it to my bed he had crushed the noise maker.... Ignore the dates on the pictures. I changed batteries and didnt set the date....

I decided its been a while since i updated my blog. I dont have any pictured to go with it though. So sorry about that. I havent uploaded new ones yet. next timei will though.
nothing really new is going on with us. Frank finally got his glasses in augest. The ones that he ordered last december. Gotta love the Military. So he is Finally out of his BC glasses, and very grateful!
In september Our friends Ren and Monica came up and visited for labor day. It was a lot of fun. We went out to I-Hop and the got sick. On sunday i started having a horrible tummy ache and thoguth i was just regretting eating there too. But by monday morning i had a cough and sore throat and pounding head. By monday night i was SICK! they had left that morning so i stayed in bed and felt like dying. for the next two days my temp didnt drop below 101 and i was missrable . I couldnt get up to do anything cuz i was so week and it would make me so dizzy. Finally wed i had had enough and frank took me to the ER. wher ei waited Four hours to see someone. Wehn the doctor finally came in she didnt even take my temp. She said you have the flu and handed me a script for a Z-Pac and walked out befor i had time to tell her i cant take Z-Pacs. so i went home mad that i had waisted four hours. its took about another week for me to get over it completly. So September was not a fun month.
This last week though we did go visit my parents so that was fun. we stayed five day. Me and Mom went shopping for Autumn decorations one day then another me, dad, Brandon, Devon, Frank, Ren and Brandons girlfriend went shooting. It was a whole lot of fun.
I also got my glasses fixed!!!! WOOHOOO! they broke back in January and i had contacts for emergencies but they were in my purse and when i put my purse on the top of the car they fell out and baked on the roof of the car for two day. So they dried up. I didnt really wear them though cuz my eyes just get irritated really easy. So i have been seeing everything a little fuzzy for a while. I didnt want to get new glasses because i loved my old frame. They fit just perfect. My eye lashes didnt hit the glass. They didnt put a lto of pressure on my nose and they fit my eyes just right. I knew i would never find a pair i liked that much. Thats why its been three years since i got them. Thankfully dad was able to get them fixed! so now i can see again! WOOHOO
Thats about it for now. I will do a better update later next week!

Franks 22 Birthday.

I think i am getting the hang of this... Maybe



Yesterday was Franks Birthday. We didn't do much because he had to work. But he had already gotten his present last week because it was a griddle and i was hungry... so i gave it to him early to get him to make me something. It worked. He made Burgers. and Getting the griddle put him in a cook at home mood because he made ribs too! in our oven that only works half the time so we ate dinner at eleven at night. haha. but it was worth it! They where AMAZING!
So we had ice cream cake yesterday but i forgot to make him blow out candles! When i remembered i was getting ready for bed so i went and got a Cinnamon roll out of the doughnut box and put the last two candle on it and made him blow it out. and we are going to see District nine tonight as the real celebration.
