I am so anxious to get out of Des Moines. I think I am going to go work at this resort that I found in Utah until I hear back about the cruise line. I don't hate living here, but there's nothing quite like starting over fresh. New friends, job, lifestyle, etc. I'm getting a little worn out here being the one everyone turns to. I split my time between four different households to make sure I fit everyone in. My dad's, cause he has the house to himself and he gets really lonely. My mom's,  cause she and my sister want attention(not a bad thing). My cousin Jamie is really lost right now. I am trying to help her by showing her that living with the Lord is a lot easier then where she is right now.  And finally, Connie's. My cousins Andy and Scott kinda walk all over her and she doesn't feel loved and accepted by either them or our family. Maybe I just need a break. Mainly I'm just running out of ways to help and that makes me feel horrible. But keeping active , like with this new boxing class and being in a bowling league helps to keep my spirits up.

Oh my gosh! My mom is such a dork. She was baby sitting  my cousin Launa when I went over to visit. I was in my sis's bedroom watching a movie when my mom comes in and yells at me.  I have this ringtone on my phone that is a creepy laugh. I have it for when my cuz Jamie calls. Well a bunch of  Launa's dolls were on top of my purse and when  Jamie called Mom and 2yr old Launa thought that the dolls had come to life. Launa jumped up on the couch and hid while my mom started picking up the dolls one by one and throwing them into the toy bin. By the time she got to the last one it had stoped and she slammed the lid closed and put it away so that they couldn't get out. Then she heard my phone beeping, now having a voice- mail, and realized that that was what the laugh was from. She was so mad, but Katie and I couldn't stop laughing. It was just too funny. I thought I was the one that got freaked out by dolls but I guess I got it from somewhere.

This week has been a really hard one at work. I love my job, but the people that I work with are making things extremely difficult. People think that once they get out of high school that the drama stops, it doesn't. It just changes. Suddenly you find yourself dealing with new situations. In high school you could just blow it off. But work is a whole other matter. I think that is why I finally put in my apps to the cruise liners. I'm ready to start over somewhere else. I just hope I'm able to leave soon. A cruise line isn't where I want to be for the rest of my life, but it'll be so much fun to get out and see the world before I get to old or settled. Eventually though, I want to come back here and build my own house and start up a music store. We'll see how that works out.

Okay, I just sent in my application to 4 different cruise liners. I still need to go and get my child development degree in order to get the youth coordinator job that I want but I can start out as a hostess or crew. I can get my degree online and take the tests when I get into port in between contracts. I'm so nervous. I don't know if it is something that I can actually go through with. I have always lived close to home. I have a huge family and am very dependant on them. But I think that if I am going to get out there and see the world, it needs to be done while I am still young. I don't want to be with a cruise liner forever so once I'm done with that I'll come back here and take a few business classes and try to get on at the County. Well, fingers crossed that I hear something in the next month.

~Bye for now~

Okay, I have been friends with Brad for around 7 yrs. I just met his new g/f for the first time the other day. I can tell that her and I are going to have problems. She is the one that punched the whole in the wall at Brad's house on New Years. She is completely psychotic.  When I gave Brad a hug the other night before I left she totally freaked out and started accusing him of cheating on her. So I took her aside and tried telling her that we have been friends for a long time and nothing even remotely romantic has ever happened between us, that we were just good friends. If something was going to happen, it would have a long time ago. Oh my goodness, this girl started to yell at me and say that she didn't think all I wanted was friendship. For those of you that know me, you'll know I didn't take that to well. So I told her that she needed to calm down and that I was being honest. If she didn't like it, well to bad. Then I left not to long after that. Brad is my friend and that is not going to change because some skinny little nerd girl doesn't like it. So I'm not sure if I should say something to him, or just give her a wide berth so that neither of us does or says something that we'll regret.
