I'm lonely

Cory left today for Lake Powell for 10 days. While I am happy that he is getting the vacation he needs, I am completely bummed because as my friends have gotten married they apparently don't think that it is important to keep friendships alive. I was talking to one of my single friends and she agrees with me, that there must be some secret that people are told when they get married to not keep any of their friends. It like I have lost all of my friends and it is very lonely when the person that you spend almost everyday with is gone, He is my best friend. I want to go line dancing and I can't get anyone to say that they will come with me. Its fun and I haven't had fun like that in a long time. So if you want to go let me know.

Will you move out already!

So for those of you who don't know. I normally have two roommates. My good roommate moved out so she could be closer to her job, and I miss her dearly. My other roommate makes me mad and frustrated majority of the time that she is home. Normally we ignore each other, literally. We don't talk, we don't interact. Nothing. I don't understand why she lives there. She doesn't pay her own rent...then again she doesn't ever pay her rent on time. My landlord who is a nice guy got sick of this habit of not really paying rent, and called her mom to give her 30-day notice. Her mom began to explain to him that the rent isn't due until the 16th of the month (or actually the 1st). Well pretty much what happened is she threatened to take him to court if he gave her a 30-day notice.

This is frustrating because she disappears for weeks at a time (I'm not complaining about that), she is completely inconsiderate to myself and our landlord. She will cook and then leave for a week. And she cant even hold down a job. Her parents are wasting their money and no one wants her to live there anymore but she wont move! I am getting to the point that I might move because this is rediculous. I like my house, I've lived there for a year now and I liked the idea of not having to move every 9 months to a year but I cant handle her anymore. Any suggestions.

doctor and bad news

So I heard back from my doctor that I am not allergic to anything. While this seems like great news it makes me a little sad because that means that I have to go back to the terrible GI doctor (gastro intestinal doctor). I also realized that I made my appointment on the same day that I have a conference to go to for my company. So that will be an interesting day.

Also at work Cory found out that a company that they buy material from lost a guy at work. I will spare you the details but it is just terrible that it happened and I feel for the guy's family. Also his boss's daughter's boyfriend's sister (try following that train of thought) was diagnoised with a brain tumor. Here is the e-mail that his boss sent out updating everyone (Kelsey is his daughter).

"We need your help. The last 10 hours has taught (re-taught) me to appreciate life and the fact I still have my children. I know if I were to ever lose one of them I would trade anything for one chance to have them back.

Kelsey’s boyfriend Jeff, whose family lives in Glendora, has twin sisters. One of them is named Lauren and I don’t know the name of the other. A few days ago Lauren was (seemed) perfectly healthy. Last weekend their family was in San Francisco. Lauren became sick and was diagnosed with strep throat and given medication. When she came home she was not getting better and she went back to the doctors. A brain tumor was discovered.

She was in a hospital in Los Angeles having surgery last night. Christy went to visit and came home with this report… the doctors were not able to help her and expect her to be brain dead this morning.

You’ve witnessed miracles before. Please pray for her.

Lauren and her sister are going to be a 7th grade students at Sonrise Christian School this fall."

Pray for her please. This is striking a little close to home for most of us. She is so young and I pray that a miracle does happen for this family and someone else's

I hate stupid people

Let me start with I like my job a lot. I don't love it mostly because of its not what I want to do the rest of my life but it suits me just fine for now. The worst part of my job is that people call in with the strangest requests or they are rude. A couple of day ago I got a work order faxed to us telling us to lower the spa temperature 1 degree. Can you believe it? its ONE degree people just deal! Or the call I got yesterday was complaining about one of our guys that clean the pool. Apparently he interfered with a mother disciplining her child. However all she could tell me was that he was driving a white truck (5 of our guys use white trucks), not what he looked like, not what he specifically did, she couldn't tell me what pool it was at, NOTHING. She said she was a visitor and was "deeply appalled" at this and next time she is going to call the property manager and tell them. After I apologized for one of our technician's behavior I could help but thinking "are you serious lady? you cant even tell me where you are at or what the guy looks like what is the property manager going to say, especially since you were a visitor." I agree that he shouldn't have interfered with anyone while doing his job, however if you are going to call and complain at least call within a week of the incident, know what the person looks like, and be able to tell me what exactly happened. Stupid people!

Can I eat yet!

Ok so most of you know that i typically dont eat red meat, but since I met Cory and his dad cooked me well anything, i became in love with red meat. I am probably writing this probably because I havent eaten today. But Bruce is in the process of smoking a brisket for tomorrow and all I can smell is deliciousness! I am super excited for tomorrow when I get to partake in eating this amazingness. I can only hope for you to try this sometime.

Also I am going to see the Dark Knight in about an hour and im really excited!

I guess I'll join the family blogging scene

Since all of my siblings have a blog i figured maybe i should make one too. We are so far away after all that we might want to keep in touch on our lives.

Lets see what's new is...I have been having stomach problems once again. So I got a food allergy blood test done and am waiting to hear back results so I can show the GI doctor (who I've been to before and deeply dislike) that she is wrong and she needs to run more tests or I can just stay away from those foods that apparently my digestive system doesn't like.

Since this will also be about Cory, I will update you on him as well. He found out less than a week ago that his job where he has been working for 3 years is going to lay him off at the end of summer. This has come as a big surprise because his Uncle owns the company, his mom is in charge of HR and his uncle's other nephew is the VP of operations. We have found out that the new president doesn't think that Cory's job is valuable, but he does have nearly everyone in the company fighting for him to keep his job. This is what Cory was planning on doing when he graduated until he got his master's. So his whole plan for this year and the coming years was destroyed last Saturday. He is very sad, and while I feel bad for him there is a part of me that hopes that through this God is giving us the opportunity to move to Oregon when he is done with school. Although his family would not be thrilled at the idea, I'm sure most of my family is jumping for joy that I have been thinking about this.

That's pretty much what has been going on with us in the last couple weeks.
