Moving on....
I'm not going to delete this journal, but I have been wanting to get back to using my livejournal and I'm finding it hard to use this one.
So I decided to make a fresh start.
Please add me on my new LJ which is ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=88.8) treesofmchinery
Hope to get back in touch with everyone. <3

So look how much Dingo has grown:
He is now just over 7 lbs. The vet says he is fat. We call him the Fat Baby, so duh! But anyway, he's on a pseudo "diet" meaning I have to watch what he eats, only give him treats during training and make sure we aren't over feeding him. He's so adorably fat, though. But I don't want him to get actually fat because fat dachshunds aren't cute.
So I have a 2nd job interview today. I have met with this lady once before. I would be a secretary and webmaster for a lawyer. I also have a 2nd interview tomorrow for a job I interviewed for last Friday. That is for the Univ. of Phoenix. Anyway, both good jobs. I think the UoP job pays 25k. Not sure what the lawyer pays but if she wants to hire me it also has to be 25K.
So we are going to start trying to get our home lone in the next few weeks. We picked out a house, it's very interesting. We'll see what happens, hopefully we can get approved.
OH! And Mine and Wills one year Wedding Anniversary is this weekend. Sunday t be precise. We are staying a night up in Sedona where we honeymooned. Very romantic and I can't wait.
Tonight we have our second dog training class. Me Will and my Mom all go together with all three dogs. Tofu and Dingo were the most well behaved dogs in the class which was awesome. Doesn't mean they will listen and learn the tricks though.

Lately this is how all of my posts are.. several months apart saying how sad I am that I have fallen out of touch w/ everyone and that I miss reading everyones journals. I am going to catch up. I have still been reading a lot of your journals, just haven't been posting or commenting.
I can't remember if I mentioned this but for graduation Will got me a Dachshund puppy. I named him Dingo.. here he is:
Isn't he adorable?
I still haven't got a job. Basically I have been doing nothing all day long.
I also lost a whole bunch of weight since the wedding. I have lost over 60 pounds in the last year. I'm like.. sort of skinny now. Weird, huh?
So anyway, that's that. Hopefully I will be updating more often. I would like to, really. I miss everyone I need to get motivated. Anyway...
WHAT'S UP?!?!!! :)

But anyway.. this has been a very interesting weekend!
On Friday Will and I went with my Mom, Dad and brother to the shooting range and I kicked ass. We shot a 22, a 9mm, a 40 caliber and a 44. I can't remember which ( it was either the 9mm or the 40) that I short first. I had two rounds and I got four head shots and the rest body shorts. I killed that motherfucker. It was actually really fun. My parents have a family membership to the shooting range so it was super cheap too. We wanted to get a little experience because we are borrowing a gun from my Dad when we go camping over spring break. I'm just paranoid because a few years back two people were murdered (shot in the back of the head) up in bumblebee while camping. And also mountian lions are known to attack people in these parts and while I would feel horrible if we had to shoot a wild animal, I would do it to protect myself or Will.
And theeeeen.. I, yes me, for the first time ever in my life made something from scratch. Yes, I did. I made a nice, delicious, low-sodium vegetable stew (well I bought an already roasted chicken and added chicken to Will's before I served) all by myself. I peeled and cut and cleaned all my own veggies, I added all my own spices and I did it all by myself. Note: I can not cook. I am a horrible cook and I know nothing about cooking. So for me this is something of a triumphal success. I am just really excited. We ate the first batch and then with the left over ingredients I just made another potfull, this time trying to make it more flavorful because it was slightly bland the last time. Anyway. I am so proud of myself.
And today we took Tofu to the dog park and for a nice walk after that. He isn't as freaking pooped as he should be, the little bastard.
Oh and on Sunday morning we went to the junior League Rummage sale and came home with 25 new books (1 dollar a piece for paperbacks.. and I'm not talking the 6 dollar paperbacks im talking about those 14 dollar paperbacks.) and then we purchased a framed Monet print to match our other one and I couldn't believe it but we also found a beautiful framed Mucha print. (Mucha is my favorite artist) The frames were really nice, too. Not ugly as they usually are at rummage sales. So we did pretty good I would say. I think I cleaned out all the good books from the book section. ehehehehe.
So that's that.

This was my first print for Adv. Screenprinting. I intentionally choose to use a pitbull as my dog because if you have ever been in the pound or a shelter you'll notice that for every other breed of dog there is 5 pit bulls. You walk down the line and it's like lab pit pit pit pit bassat hound pit pit pit pit, if you know what I mean. And it's so sad.
Anyway... I used my tablet to draw the dog (his name is Brutus, I actually used a real dog as my model that I found in Petfinder) and then I turned my drawings into transparencies and burned them into screens. :)

Will and I drove up to Prescott yesterday, on a whim, for lunch and some antique shopping. I picked up this cute Occupied Japan Teapot.
In other news....

| Pan Flute.... |

 ( check out http://pan-flute.com/ to hear it... also that is where this image is from. :-P )
So I have decided I want to learn how to play the pan-flute. The way I understand it, it is not that difficult to play and it makes beautiful sounds. I know I am a strange girl, although I do have some motivation behind wanting to learn.
Reason 1. If any of you actually read my journal, you'll know my favorite author is Anne McCaffrey and her pern series. If you ACTUALLY read my journal you'll also know tha every year at the big Sci-Fi convention called Dragon*con that there is something called the Weyrfest, where all the crazy obsessive pernese fans get together and pretend to be actual pernese! Well, as my character will be a Harper with a gold Fire Lizard, it would be totally appropriate if I could actually play an intrument and also really fun! So that is my first reason.
Reason 2. I am twenty one now, and almost 7 months married. In the next maybe two, three years Will and I will mostly likely have a baby. I want to be able to play lullabys and songs for my baby. I know it's a silly, sentimental reason but it's my reason and I claim it.
So there ya go. I am going to buy one in the next week or two and get a good book to teach me how to play and maybe I will record myself if It sounds okay. Anyway, how do I know everyone will skip right over all this text and go straight to the puppy picture...
My Moms as of yet unnamed long-haired chihuahua:

Is it fucked up that I am graduating in may, meaning I have one semester left and I wish I had majored in something else?
I wish, with all of my heart, that I could go back and become a vet tech or perferably a veteranarian. I really really wish that. I mean, I love art and photography but I love animals more.
But that sad thing is I am too afraid to tell anyone who matters in my life this. I haven't told Will or my Mom. Or even my best friend Molly. I have no idea what I am going to do with my life. I'd like to be a fiction writer and a writer and illustrator of children's books. If I could make money doing something at home like that I could do other things like have an animal rescue or whatever.
I could countiue going to school after this but it wouldn't be fair to Will. He has worked really hard all four years we have been together. I have lived off his money exclusivly (except for the financial aid that I get which pays our rent) for the last two years because I couldn't have a job and go to school at the same time.
I just wish I knew what I should do.
In other news I went to the Doctor yesterday for my "Women's Wellness" exam.. AKA my pap and they weighed me and since the last exam which was last march (So not even a year ago) I was 30 pounds heavier. Yay.. I have lost 30 pounds.
p.s I am not spell checking this because I dont care.
