No puppies

So I don't have any puppies in my lap right now, so I can update. lol.

Last night while Steve's mom was over, she told us that Steve's cousin Robbie is going through with getting married, he's only 19. I guess no one really likes the girl cause she can never make up her mind if she wants to be with him or not, but I guess now that she has a ring I think she'll stick around. I almost cried though while she was telling us about it cause he's 19!!! I am almost 27 and probably not even close to getting married :( I know Steve wants to get married someday but it doesn't sound like anytime soon. I was close one time to getting married, but it didn't work out which I know was for the better cause we probably would be divorced already. But I would really love to get married someday and start a family, if you know me, you know that I want a baby more then anything. I feel different with Steve, that we will make it there but I can't really tell him that cause I don't want to freak him out. His last girlfriend basically forced him into buying a ring, but I won't do that. I want it to be magically and special when it happens.

It seems like people are getting married all around me, Jamie just got married, Jeremy, Jenny, and Jodi are all getting married this summer, and I am like when is it going to be my turn?? I know I should be happy that I finally have a man that I am truly happy with and that we were basically made for eachother. Blah.

I start therapy next week Monday. Maybe this will help me. Actually I know it will.

Ok gotta get back to the laundry

Amazing

Had an amazing weekend with my hunny and our friends :) Sunday we kinda just chilled out and Steve's mom came over with the puppies and we all hung out and had dinner and played Monopoly. It was a good time.

Today is my last day off of my 4 :( I am at Steve's mom's house doing some laundry cause one of the dryers at the apartment is not working so I am going to do some here and then finish up at the apartment. The puppies were so excited to see me when I got here.

I need to stop at work and get some more dog food and poop bags. yay! hahaha.... Bailey is making it very hard to update right now, cause he's in my lap and wants to cuddle, lol. He's such a cutie. So I guess I will update more later. There's nothing exciting to say anyways, lol.

Steve's Birthday!

Today is offically Steve's birthday, but we celebrated with all his friends lastnight. It was a lot of fun. We went to Red Robin for dinner, which was yummy, I think we were the loudest ones there. lol. Then we all headed back to my apartment. There's were a lot of people in the apartment, lol. But it worked out really good. I had bought a folding table and it came with 4 chairs so we had that set up and they were playing Magic on it, then at the dining room table they had a game of Euchure going, and then in the living room we were playing Apples to Apples. When the euchure game ended them playing joined us in Apples to Apples. After a couple games of that and after some people left, Nick, Racahel, Rory, and I decided to play Cranium, and after a night of drinking this was probably not a good idea, but oh was it so much fun, lol. The dining room table didn't get used for much after that other then holding all the snacks and the cake. And after the Magic game, they were playing Catan on the folding table. After Cranium, I was kinda out for the count, cause it was like 1am, I couldn't even tell you the last time I stayed up that late, lol. I fell asleep on the couch until like 2am, then Steve woke me up and told me to go to bed, lol. I passed right the f out!

Woke up this morning at 10AM, haven't slept in that long in awhile. I was afarid to come out into the living room/dining room to see how the night had ended but it's not too bad, should be an easy cleaned. Which I should get started on.

I will update more later kiddies.

The Coloring Process.....

I started my day out by running to CVS to get some color opps, to get rid of this black hair I have. Then I hit up Sally's and I got a 3IR and I came home and here's what I started with...



Then after 20 mins of the color opps process here's what my hair turned into, the pic is not the best but it's all I could get



Then since my hair came out lighter then I thought it would, I went back to Sally's and got a 5IR instead and this is what came out, I wish it was a little lighter but oh well...





After all the coloring process, I met up with Jackie for lunch, we went to some Lebanese place, and it was alright. I wouldn't pick it as my first choice to go to for food, but I would go again if invited. After lunch I came home and cleaned the kitchen, bathroom, and living room/dining room. I still need to do a little cleaning here and there tomorrow before people come over, but most of it is done. I then went to Meijer and picked up pop and snacks for the party and some other things that we needed. Being home alone all night has really sucked, well actually being home alone all day has kinda sucked. Steve left for work at like 8:30am and still isn't home yet, and it's almost 10:30pm, I am really starting to not like his work, and I hate that because I want to support him cause I know it's what he wants to do, but I feel like they do not give him enough in return for everything that he does for them, like when he works 13 hour days. He's always stressed out, and then we get into fights cause when he's stressed I get stressed and it's just a mess.

I don't even feel like updating anymore.

Hello Weekend...

Yup my weekend has offically started and it's a 4 day weekend cause I have Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off, YAY!!!!!!!!!

Work was retarded today, I went in at 11am, washed one my manager's dogs, then one of the groomer's dogs, and then I did call logs, then I basically just dicked around for a few hours, then I took a 15 min break around 2:30ish, then I took my lunch at 3:30pm and when I came back my one and only appointment was there, so I bathed her and made her all pretty, and then I basically dicked around again until ablout 7:10pm and then they let me leave, whoopidty doo 20 mins early, should have sent me home at 4:40 when I was done with my dog, but whatever I needed the money.

Tomorrow is a busy day... I am going to color opps my hair, and see how much of this black I can get out, and then I am going to try and do an Intense Medium red brown on it, I am hoping for the best, I will post pics for ya. I am meeting Jackie for lunch around 1pm, and then I need to clean some of the apartment up since we are having people over Saturday night for Steve's birthday, I figure I can clean half tomorrow and then the rest on Saturday before everyone comes over. I also was thinking about rearanging the bedroom, and maybe painting the one wall like I wanted to a week ago. We will see how much time I actually have though :) Cause I still have to go buy the hair color and crap.

Saturday we are going out to eat for Steve's birthday and then having people over afterwords to play games or whatever, it should be a good time. And then SUnday we are meeting up with his mom and grandpa, cause it's his actal birthday and then we will probably just relax and play WoW.

I am feeling pretty tired at the moment, for some reason I woke up at 6:30am and could not get back to sleep, I laid in bed until 7:30am, and then just got up and took a shower.

I am going to go play Wow and hopefully finish these last 4 quests I have then take the dogs out then go to bed. I will be updating tomorrow kiddies :)

Worst Day Ever

I thought today was going to be a good day, but oh was I wrong.

I had to work 9:30-6pm today which is the closing shift, and Sundays usually are not as bad as Saturdays but today was worse then yesterday by far.

It started out ok, I had my dogs getting done on time, but then I fell behind because of I don't really know. At one point I had one dog and I was just waiting for him to finish drying, and then two more dogs showed up and then two more, and then one more, and none of them were even close to being done, and my shift was over half way over and I still hadn't taken a lunch, and I was getting very frustrated. All my dogs were bad for at least one of their services, and I was going nuts, then I smack the side of my face on a cage door, I was picking up my dog to put him back in and bam! there it was. And it still hurts, I didn't think it was that bad. When 6 o,clock hit I was very excitied.

I wanted to come home and relax and just be alone with Steven, but I get home and he has a couple of friends over, but I don't want to be that gf that bitches about having friends over, for sure since they are friends he doesn't see a lot.

Oh back to work stuff, I decided that I do not want to be a groomer, I want to try and get a job in a salon. I will stay at Petsmart part-time so I can keep my insurance.

I really need to start therapy, I am calling her tomorrow with all my information. And hopefully we can start up something soon.

I can't focus anymore, so see ya kiddies

i hate saturdays

Have I mentioned that I really hate Saturdays??? Well I do. I work Saturdays 12:30-9pm in the grooming salon, and let me tell you, Saturdays are nuts! I had 3 dogs at 12:30, then 1 dog at 1:30, then two at 3pm, then one at 4pm, and then 2 at six and inbetween all of these I have to do any walk in nail trims, which there were probably 6 or 7 of those. I walked in at 12:30 and I thought I was there for like 5 mins and I look at the clock and it was 3:30, I mean that is awesome, I love that time flys by, but I hate being pressured and I hate getting behind.

We actually got to leave on time tonight, I thought for sure it was going to be a late night again, like last weekend. I come home to Steve and his friend Louis, I really didn't want to have to deal with having someone over, but I just am doing my own thing. I took a bath and then I watched some tv, and now I am here updating, and they are being pretty quite so going to bed shouldn't be a problem, here soon :)

I really don't feel like working tomorrow, but I gotta. I don't have a day off until Wednesday now cause I switched days with Kristen. But Wednesday is my mama's birthday so I am going to go see her. And give her a hair cut. And I hope to surprise her with either a edible arrengment or flowers.

I am going to take the dog out and then get into bed, so nighty night kiddies.

Survived

I survived the airport yesterday, I was shocked lol. I was so nervous to drop Jackie off, because I had never been there before and I thought for sure that I would get lost trying to get out but it was actually pretty simple.

After the airport I went to my brother's house and had dinner with him and Mandi, and then I cut Mandi's hair for her, and then I went to my parent's and visited for a little bit and picked up some stuff that I needed to.

Then I came home and Steve and I laid on the couch for a bit and talked and then we decided to crawl into bed and we were both out like a light at like 10:30pm, we are such old people, I swear lol.

Woke up this morning, at like 8am, but laid in bed until 8:30am, I was feeling a bit dizzy this morning so I took a pill and I am feeling a bit better now, my back is sore though which sucks, cause it's just going to get worse once I get to work :( I really wish I didn't have to work every Saturday and Sunday. It's so tiring.

Next week, I am only working two days so far, Tuesday in the salon and Wednesday in the hotel. I asked Kevin if he wanted me to come in and work for him on Thursday because he wants to go down to one day a week anyways, and I could use the extra hours, but he nevr answered me. So I guess we will see.

Steve's birthday is next week, and I already spilled the beans to what I am getting him, but I do still have one surprise up my sleeve :)

Well I am going to go relax and spend time with Steve before I have to head into work. Working 12:30-9pm sucks!

HP Mini

I am updating from my new HP Mini Raspberry Netbook, that I just got today with my tax money :) I have been missing a laptop for awhile. I had a Macbook but it was like 5 years old, and the tings I wanted to do with it I couldn't and Steven ended up putting Windows on it for me, and I used that more then the Mac OSX so I decided to sell it, and I have been without a laptop for about 3 months now. And I figured it was time to get a new one.

This one is super cute, it's pink and it's 10" very small and light weight, and it will be perfect for my blogging and for when I do hair clients, because I keep track of everyone's information about what we did and when we did it. So it will be very helpful since I travel around.

I woke feeling ok, and then I all of a sudden got really hot and dizzy and then sick to my stomach. I took one of my pills and the dizziness went away and my stomach is alright, but I am still super hot. I have the windows in the apartment open, the fan on, I don't know what else I can do other then get naked, lol.

I didn't go to lunch with Steve's mom. I still am taking Jackie to the airport though I think, I did tell her I wasn't feeling good, but then I said I was feeling better, but now I just want to stay in bed with my dogs. Steve is all about me taking Jackie to the airport I am not sure why and I don't want to ask cause who knows where that will lead. I am waiting for her to get back to me about what time she needs to leave.

I feel so bad for leaving again today, and leaving the dogs home alone. They were basically alone all day yesterday and now again today :( It's super nice out too, I wish I could let them out to play. Some days I feel bad for making them come and live here in the apartment. I feel like they hate it sometimes. I am sure Peanut is fine but I think Nelly misses having a yard and the other dogs. Hopefully we will get a house after the lease is up here. We have to. Or I will hate myself lol.

Ok I need to get some food and possiably take a nap. I am feeling like crap.

♥ You Know You Love Me xoxo

I want to be LAZY!!

Woke up this morning with Steven around 8amish. I got myself ready after he left for work, and then I had to hit up CVS to get him a Rockstar and some pop cause we didn't have any at the house, and hit up the ATM for some cash. I dropped off his stuff and then hit up Meijer for some much needed groacery shopping.

About a month ago, I applied for a Bridge Card, just to see if I could get anything cause right now we are hurting for money, with his debit and mine, and then bills on top of it, it sucks. So I had my interview, had to fax over my proof of my lease, my pay stubs, and proof of my renter's insurance, and then on Monday I got a letter in the mail saying that I was approved for $151/month for just food, which is fine with me, that will help us out so much. So I got the card yesterday in the mail. Grocery shopping was wonderful today cause all I had to pay was $18 and some change in cash, probably for the cleaning supplies and the gift bag and birthday card.

Now I am just kinda chilling around the apartment which I would really like to do for the rest of the day but I have two hair appointments out in the Garden City/Livonia area, I am doing highlights and probably lowlights on Lori, and Mandi wants a hair cut and she said she would cook dinner :) and maybe I will be able to see the Wings games. I also want to stop by my parent's house and drop off my mom's birthday present and get my mail cause my checks are there, and Steven's Valentine's/Anniversary present. I feel like i am always on the go. I hate it sometimes.

Tomorrow is going to be the same way cause I am meeting up with Steven's mom and then I told Jackie I would drive her to the airport, ughh why am I so nice? lol.

Ok well I am going to go and relax now while I can. And probably take Nelly for a long walk since I am going to be gone for awhile.

Too much drama... in the WoW

I was really excited to play WoW with Steven and all his friends, My character hasnt reached level 85 yet though, we are working on it, but after the last few nights of raiding, there is so much bullshit, and crying about stuff, that it makes me not even want to play. It's a game, and yes I understand that others take it more serious then I do, but c'mon it's a damn game, why get into a fight with a friend of so many years over it? Seems kinda dumb to me.

Work was alright tonight. I ended up getting a headache, and started feeling dizzy like half way through, and then my stomach decided to put it's two sense in and make me feel sick and want to throw up. Steve ended up letting me cut out a little early.

So, now I am home and feeling a little bit better, since it's still nice out I took Nelly for a long walk which I thinkt he fresh air helped my head cause it's starting to feel a little better. I love that at 9pm it's 43 degrees out, I know it's so sad, lol. I can't wait for Srping Time, I promised Nelly once it got warmer her walks would get longer lol and I want to try and train Peanut on the leash. I wasn't doing it in the freezing ass cold, lol.

Tomorrow is my semi-day off, I have to run and get a birthday card for my mama, I still haven't decided if I want to mail her, her gift or just give it to her tomorrow when I am out there. Probably give it to her tomorrow cause I hate having to wait to give gifts, lol. I am going out to GC to do up some hair, Lori wants some highlights and lowlights, and Mandi, my sis in law needs a cut, that's why I say it's my semi-day off, lol. I think I might paint the wall I want to in the bedroom, I'm not 100% sure. I want to liven it up a little bit :)

Friday I am off of work also, yay!!! I am going to have lunch and hang out with Steven's mom Lynn, and then I am taking Steven's friend Jackie to the airport, that should be interesting since I am terrified of the airport, but I have another excuse to stop and see my parents :) And maybe I will see what Ricki is up to and maybe stop by over there, and see her and the girls. And Tom, lol.

Then I am working the rest of the weekend, in the grooming salon. YAY! hahaha....

Alright, I am done updating for now.

♥ You Know You Love Me xoxo

Hello There.

Ok so this probably should have been my first post instead but oh wells. I have no idea if anyone else will read this other then my best friend Ricki, but that's fine with me.

I'm Jess, I'm a 20-something female, living in Michigan. I am a license cosmetlogist, Pet Care Technician, and Veterinary Assistant. I can never decide what I ant to do with my life, so I keep learning, lol. Right now I am currently working with the animals, and trying to decide if I really want to go to grooming school or not, I just found out that in about a year, Steven (my boyfriend) will be making enough money, hopefully so he can cover things so I can work less and go back to school, I would really love to go back to Douglas J, that's where I went for cos school and get into the educator program, and become a cosmetology educator at Douglas J.

I have worked in a few salons, but I haven't found one that I fit at yet, so I took a little break, but I have been doing hair and make-up on the side, and it just makes me miss doing it everyday, like when I was in school, so I think I might start looking for a salon job again, and work there part-time, and keep working with the animals, cause they give me insurance even if I am part-time, and once you get to know me, or if you already know me, you know I need insurance, lol. I think I can't find a salon I like because of the school I went to, they were really into eaching us siccsoring techniques instead of clipper work, and a lot of places want you to use clippers and I am just not that skilled with them, but if a place is willing to teach me so I can work there, I am all about it.

Steven and I have been together for 6 months and two days :) I know I am lame, but that's ok, I really really love this guy. I know I have probably said it before about a guy but I have never felt the way I do about Steven with anyone else. We started talking on Match.com on August 8th, we exchanged numbers and text and talked basically 24/7 for that whole week, and then we went on our first date on August 14th, and that's when the magic happened, lol. We have basically been attached at the hip since then, we have only spent about 5-7 nights apart since we met. We are currently living together with my doggys in a cute apartment on the east side. We plan on either buying his mom's house after the lease isup, if she wants, so she can move to NC or we will find a house we can rent to own in the Royal Oak area. Steven and I are such a great fit, it's kind of disguting, lol. He has gotten me into a lot of things that without him I would have nver of tried, and surprisingly I love them, like WoW, hahaha.... if you knew me a few years ago you would have never thought I would say that because I always made fun of the game. BUt we are doing great, Like all couples we have our ups and our downs, but we always talk through it, and get past it which I feel like it makes us stronger as a couple. Both of our exs have damged us in different ways, but they were alike by never wanting to talk about problems and fix them, they both just wanted them to magically dissappear but they never do, and I think that's why things get better between us after we fix any problems we have. Communication is key right?

Ok so I haven't actually mentioned where I am working, well it's a Petsmart. I work in the PetsHotel, and the grooming salon, I love it there, and I love the people, but it does get stressful at times, like all jobs do. Between the two, I work about 37-39 hours depending on the week, which is great cause when I first started I was only getting 20-25 hours a week, and having these new place and being on my own I needed more money. Tonight I am working in the PetsHotel. It should be a good time.

Well it's almost 10am, and I haven't had breakfast yet, so I am going to get to that. And I will for sure be around more updating, I have had this blog for awhile and just stopped updating, but I think I need it to help keep my sane, lol.

That's all for now.

Had a great Valentine's Day

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and mine and Steve's 6 months. He had to work durning the day, so I cleaned up the apartment, and Jenny came out so I could highlight her hair, and once Steve came home we went to dinner at Marinelli's where we had our very first date, and then stopped by Best Buy and bought some movies, and then we came home crawled into bed and popped in Kick Ass. But we were both falling asleep around 10pm. Steve says it's because we are old people now, lol. He got me a great necklace from Lucido. I have been wanting something from there for awhile. I would make a better update since it's been awhile since I've posted but I have to start getting ready for work. So a better update will come later tonight or tomorrow.
