honest-to-blog overload

The husb and I have been all over the place this summer. I quit the the maid thing and found me a new job, but there was some time in between so the next few posts will be about our adventures this summa.

We spent the 4th of July in Idaho. We haven't been there for the 4th since we first started dating. It was nice to be back and see our friends and fam. My bro-in-law, Jason, lives in Driggs so we camped out in his yard. Driggs is great. I will move there someday. Or maybe Victor..

Anyway, we wanted to spend some q-time with the fam so we all packed our tents and hung out in his front yard for a weekend. It was superb. You walk out his front door and you are at the foot of the Tetons. No. Joke. The FOOT.

Glenn Beck was coming to Driggs and that made the trip even better! We planted our chairs in the grass and waited and waited until Glenn could finally grace us with his presence. He's going blind. Sad, really. He's wearing glasses on his talkshow now. :(

Thanks, anthro.

Future planned...

Well, kids, I've been accepted to culinary school and will start in the fall. I will be studying baking and pastry with 15 other students and the program is 2 years if I go full time. Yay for getting fatter!

I will be doing this.

And this.

And this.

And I'll be wearing this!


Wish me luck!

Seriously?

I just need to vent for a second. I hate my job. It's hard. 6% of the time, it seems like the perfect situation. The other 94% of the time? I'm in hell. Pardon my french.

I find that running a maid service is not for me. I run the entire business. It's not fun. I'm losing my mind. My hair might as well be half-silver. Just call me whitey. This job has taken such a toll on both my mind and body. I am trying to stay positive, but just when things seem to be working out, some unhappy girl ruins it for the rest of us. It's like a domino effect. Or in Logan's words, "A death spiral".

Does anyone out there need a virtual assistant? I am extremely qualified. More than you can imagine. Please help!!!


*On a happier note, we are going camping tomorrow night. Our phones will be out of service, so nobody from work will be able to reach me... :)
