Insurance means commitment

My Boy and I have been living together for a little while now but nothing says commitment like getting life insurance on each other so that if something were to happen to one of us the other would be taken care of. We also both admitted that we were telling people at work we were engaged, the boy more for the HR people and me so that when I am sharing a little about myself with older clients I think it seems a little less living in sin to add to the story that we are engaged...isn't it romantic.

Billie Jean is not my lover.

So I finished my months and months of bank training in Denver. I get to now live again full time in Loveland with my cats and not commute and live out of a hotel! Woo freaking whoo! In other news it is almost the 4th of July and me and Billie Jean (wait I mean, bf who is my lover) are going to see the Fam in Kansas! Also Michael Jackson died today....sad sad day. :(

moving on

I am so surprised how different my life can change in a year. Since July when I left California and Tim behind, I felt like I was suspend in some sick joke impersonation of my life. The job thing was so bad that I didn't know how I would ever claw my way where I was. You go to college and job after job you make a little bit more and a little bit more and then you are suddenly working for slightly above minimum wage. For awhile my life sucked beyond the telling of it. My head is above water now, I am in love and I didn't know I could trust anyone like this but Steve makes it easy.

Random Product Plug

To all my female readers, I am in love. With my new birth control! If you haven't tried NuvaRing yet you can go to their website and you can get a coupon for a free trial. Plus my Doctor gave me a sample one too...so in 3 months I have only paid for it once. Anyway it is pretty darn fabulous to not have to think about popping a pill everyday. I just thought I would share. In other news there has been a lot going on in my life which at some point I will actually sit down and blog about.

The Economy Freaks Me Out!

Sometimes I think ignorance would be bliss. I know too much about economics to not think that we are going into the next big depression. I currently have 2 friends who think they will lose their jobs shortly and I myself know economic hardship as my current job is a 30k pay cut from my last job and yet....I am employed, thank the Lord. I keep thinking that I need some extra money so I'll sell off some of my stocks and then I remember that they aren't really worth anything anymore.

I Fail At Life

Yesterday getting home from work at about 20 past 11, I decide to go ahead and get my mail. I do this mainly because there are 2 things I'm waiting for: Tax return stuff and grad school stuff. Well I got my first response on the latter. A big fat rejection from K-State. Now did I really want to head back to Kansas? Maybe, maybe not....but c'mon, K-State is my alma mater. If any school should want me as a grad student it should be K-State didn't I already give them tons of money for my undergraduate degree...they know I'm good for the cash!!! I still have 2 schools I haven't heard from yet, but this was sort of a punch in the face or the gut. I feel sort of queazy. I'm afraid my next career move will include the phrase "would you like fries with that?"

Frog Prince

My mother got me this exact stuffed animal frog when I was hospitalized with kidney stones the first time. I named him Mr. McFrogger and this little frog is so dear to my heart. She told me that I would need to "kiss a lot of frogs" before finding the one that is a prince. She gave it to me about 2 weeks before Tim and I started officially dating. I thought I was done kissing frogs but it was not to be. I have since kissed more and more frogs and I just would like to be done now.
