Hi everyone, man it's been awhile since I've logged on to my blog.
First things first, I finally started working!! Andie's, which is the former Smith's, restaurant right in town. I'm waitressing about 4 or 5 shifts a week, which is great...it's with in walking distance, great people to work for, and perfect hours so I can't complain about any aspect of the new job. I'm just so grateful to be working period I don't think anything could make me complain, ok ok it's me I'm sure I could find something to bitch about :-)
Brian's been going to Jim's consistently for 3 nights a week, it's so hard. I feel like I'm always saying goodbye to him. I still have him more then Jim does but it just sucks having to share a child like that...I don't know if I'll ever get used to it. Don't get me wrong there are perks - It's nice usually the first night he's gone to be child-less and be able to just go and do whatever I want; but by nights 2 and 3 I get pretty homesick for him. Jim and I have been steadily improving, for the time being at least, as far as our relationship goes. It is what it is, and acceptance is definently the key term here.
We have a new member of our family. His name is REX (100% chosen by Brian.) I picked Rex up at the Adirondack Save A Stray in Corinth last week...he is a 9 week old mutt, cute as can be, but of course a pain in the ass ;-) He's a Feist/Lab mix. I surprised Brian last week when Becky dropped him off after being gone for two nights...the look on his face was priceless and worth every pile of crap I've had to pick up since. He'll end up a medium sized dog, nothing too big...and it's nice to have a pet in the house again. I just think every little kid should have a dog - especially at Brian's age, so it'll be nice for him. What's crazy to think is that this dog could still be around when Brian is learning how to drive!
I met up for lunch with Wanda Shapiro last week. Wanda is my friend Steve's sister (I've mentioned Steve, he was killed in a car accident back in 2002.) She was home promoting her newly published novel "Sometimes That Happens With Chicken." It's not like millions of people read this blog, so it's not great advertisement ... but I've started the novel and it's beautifully written and I'm blown away by it thus far so I highly reccommend going to Amazon and purchasing a copy...She's a Indie Author and published this all herself, so anyone who likes to read good works of literature go ahead and help support this friend of mine!! I'm not the only one raving about this book...she's even been compared to Hemmingway - yeah pretty impressive! The reviews that are coming in are all wonderful as well and she's done book signing's and reading's in NYC, North Creek this week, the Woodstock next week - she's in the early stages of trying to promote but I have high hopes for this novel really catching on worldwide and Wanda becoming a very successful writer. So much love to you Wanda! Thank you so much for my signed copy, and I'll let you know when I finish it - but so far I love it!!!
I better get going for now. I know considering it's been so long since I've written this is a pretty lame excuse for a post, but I have to take Rex out and I hate tying up the damn phone line - I hate dial up!! There's a lot more to write about though so I'll try to check in again very soon. Live, Love, have faith and hope - then it'll work!
