I haven't blogged in a while and this morning seems like a good time to do it! First of all Ruby is pregnant and going to have puppies! She should start having the puppies in about 3 weeks. I am very nervous and excited for her. I hope nothing goes wrong cause we already decided we are not taking her to the vet for them to deliver the puppies. Everything I've read online says to, but everyone I have talked to in person has said the dog can have the puppies because its a part of their nature. I am going to make sure I am home all the time when she is due to have the puppies. I don't want her to do that alone just incase something does go wrong. I have read about what my role is and it sounds like i will have to pull the placenta off of the puppies when they come out so that way they can get their first breath of air. (the mother can do that but it takes alot of work for her cause she doesn't have hands haha). And just be there to help clean the puppies off and if a puppy gets stuck i can help pull the puppy out. I think I can handle it, I have to be strong for my little best friend.
Alex bought our tickets to Vegas!!!!!!!!!! I am beyond excited. He is in a wedding on January 6th in Vegas so we are going on the 4th, sightseeing on the 5th, wedding on the 6th, and on the 7th we are somehow going to California to see Alex's family for the first time since April! We both miss them alot so that will be fun. We haven't bought our tickets home yet because we haven't figured out how long we want to stay. We will probably be there 2-3 weeks. Originally we were going to go later in January so that way we could stay for my birthday but the wedding through that off a bit. Oh well I wouldn't mind spending my birthday with my mom or with Jess :] Here is things I want to do while I'm in California:
-see as many Betsey Johnson stores as possible because there are shit tons of them over there according to her map.
-thrift shop for goodies
-tan
-stick my toes in the pacific
-i really really really want to see the golden gate bridge but alex says thats impossible and we would have to fly to it because its far away. i really wanted to have a moment like in full house where danny, joey, jessie, michelle, stephanie, and dj go over the bridge listening to music...whatever haha.
-walk down Rodeo drive! i think thats in LA...
-go to Hollywood
-see those trees that are older than dirt and were in the Bible...can't think of what they are called...Joshua Trees! yes those.
So thats what I could think of off of the top of my head. As soon as I get my luggage back from Dale and Carminda who borrowed it I am going to begin packing. bahaha.
Lets see here what else is new...Oh yes, Alex bought $600 worth of pots and pans (that equalled to a skillet and a pot!) We were invited to go to a Simplicity Gourmet show and if we sat through the 90 minute presentation we got a 3 day, 2 night stay in a huge choice of locations both in and out of the country. So before we went it I said, "Ok Alex we are not buying anything and if they ask for money we are just leaving. I am not getting conned into this trip." So right off the bat they went around the room and asked how many times a week each couple ate out. Some couples said everyday, some said 5 days a week, some said 3 and to myself I was thinking, "I cook all the time so we definitely don't apply to this first point the guy was making" Then it came to us and Alex said, "Oh we eat out as much as the rest of everyone" I am pretty sure that I gave him a look of fuck you in the the least confrontational way I could haha. I cook all the damn time! I make about 8 meals a week including lunch and dinner. We eat out sometimes none, sometimes twice, sometimes three times but not every week! I was so mad. It made me upset because I felt like he doesn't acknowledge everything I do for him. Anyhow, they did the presentation and Alex was obsessed with this cookware. I was moderately impressed. This cookware was cool but I really felt like anybody who knows anything about cooking wouldn't have been that impressed. So Alex wanted to buy the $4000 package and I said No, and I said no to the $3000, $2000 and $1000. I told him if he wanted to buy one or two pieces that would be ok but I wasn't paying for it. So the cookware should be here in 2 weeks and he will be paying 25 dollars a month for years to come on this damn stainless steel cookware that isn't nearly as great as my Mommom's pots and pans that she used the last 30 years of her life and that I have now inherited. Afterwards he admitted that he wished he listened to me, but whatever thats his first lesson of Jamie is always right. :]
School is going so well! I am acing everything in all of my classes, Im sucking up daily to all of my teachers and I am set to graduate December 17th. This is so cool because the past 4 years I don't know how many essays I have had to write about my 5, 10, and 15 year goals. And this year I will FINALLY complete goal number 1- Graduate College!!!! I am having as many people that I can think of to invite that night for a graduation party, so mark your calender "jamie finally graduates- time to partay"
