Home Grown Country Girl

Mood: Doin fine. Missin Otis so very bad though. =[
Listening to: She's My Kinda Rain by Tim McGraw. Steve is singing it to me. He's tryin to be sweet cause a while back when it came out, he dedicated it to me. I got mad at him earlier and hes tryin to make me smile and be nice. He doesnt realize that Im really not mad

Yeah, you read the title right. Class on a Saturday. That's Ok, though! It's only ONE time so I guess I can deal. It's 8:30 am - 5:00 pm. I'm getting certified in First Aid as well as infant, child, and adult CPR. Im getting  A LOT outta that class. It's a national certification! That makes two certifications I've gotten this year! Wahoo! Im *so* going to take a picture of my CDCA Certification and show ya'll. Im so proud. I finally got the actual certificate from the State of Ohio in the mail a coupla weeks ago. It's exciting! OH! Today is my Grandparents anniversary! They've been married almost 60 years now! I KNOW!!!! That's what I was thinking, too!

So, on July 10th - July 14th my momma, Steve, Cory and myself will be at Myrtle Beach.  I have tickets for me and momma to go on a casino cruise. We're going to go during the day. It's got a buffet that's out the entire time and everything on the ship is free, except extra chips for the casino. They give us forty dollars worth of chips when we get on, though! We're doing the day cruise [10 am - 4:15pm] so we can go on the deck and do the dolphin watching part of it. My momma *loves* dolphins and this will be the first time she's ever seen one! I really hope a bagillion of them jump along the side of the boat for her. Infact, I hope one jumps up and lands right in her arms! Im going to get a couple of water proof cameras as well as normal cameras so that we can take some pictures. I'm so excited for her.

I don't really have much to say. Mahahha! Today was kinda blah. Oh! Thursday Otis went to the vet to get fixed and his front two feet declawed. I went today to pay for it, as I'll be in class all day tomorrow so Steve is going to have to go get him. Im so homesick to see him it's unreal.  I could hardly sleep last night. I kept wondering if he was in pain, if he missed us, I missed playing with him - ok it's about to make me cry. Isn't that insane?! Got that attached to him since the end of February. Sheesh! When I went to pay, I kept asking if I could see him. She said that if *he* saw *me* he would get upset cause he couldn't get to me, but she let me peek around the corner and through the door at him. Love his lil heart. He was in the cage just lying there with this look in his eyes like he was going to murder the next person to walk through the door. I just wanted to snatch him up and take him home, but I couldn't. They keep them for 2 days after surgery. Steve will be here with him tomorrow for a bit after he picks him up at noon. Poor lil guy. He got so much done. Got his boosters up to date, his front two feet declawed, got fixed, he had a tapeworm  and they got that fixed...just so much. She said that tapeworm was from fleas, but he's never had fleas here. I bathe him once a week in flea and tick stuff and he's *never* outside. I found out today from Melanie that Otis' momma had fleas real bad and that she might've had a tapeworm when she was feedin her babies. Ugh. Those things are nasty. NaaaasssTaay!

See, tomorrow is Steve's baby sister's prom. This is her senior prom. She didn't go to her junior prom. For this year, she's had to buy everything herself. Everything. Her dress, her hair appointment, her nails, her tanning sessions, her makeup, her jewelry, everything. She's got a baby blue dress...so beautiful. Im going to try to get outta class around 4pm so I can see her. If I can't, I'll still get to see her. The grand march isn't until 6pm so I *know* I'll see her then.  Gonna get a camera and take lots of pictures. Note to self: Get a camera tomorrow. Mahahah! I guess I can run and do that on our lunch break in class. We normally get an hour for lunch when we have all day classes. Who knows though. So anyway - we'll be going to his parents house for a bit then to grand march so Otis will be here alone.  I think that would be good for him though. He'll sleep and that's whats important.

Well, I guess I had more to talk about than I thought. I've just realized that I can ramble on about absolutely nothing for hours and hours. Being that I realize this now, Im going to stop! Mahah! I hope ya'll are having a nice weekend. The weather is GREAT here. It's been in the mid to upper 70's today. Hopefully it stays like that for tomorrow at least! I remember those rainy prom days. It sucks. You spend a bagillion dollars to get your hair done, spend HOURS on your makeup only to get in the rain and it all smears and goes flat. That's about the time I'd go to the bathroom, wash my face completely [cause I do not normally wear makeup. Ever. I've worn it 3 times in my life. 2 proms and my wedding. my wedding I wore loose powder and lipstick. Mahahah!] and take my hair completely down and put it in a pony tail [which is how it is normally about 85% of the time]. See? I babbled again! Mahahah! Enjoy your weekend guys! I'll be updating this weekend!
