Updates, updates and more updates

Wow, its been over a month since I've last blogged. I really should update this thing more often. I just don't have much to write about I guess. Well since my last blog, Alex had joined the Army. That's right, Alex joined the Army. He is currently in Basic, and graduates on May 22nd. I'm pretty proud of him even though I don't like the idea of him being in any branch of the armed services. Otherwise, I'm still working the same boring overnight shifts at work. I still have my kitties. But we have added a furbaby to our household.

I recently adopted a 3 year old Alaskan Husky mix. Alaskan Husky means he is part Husky and part God (or Gods) know what. He is technically a mix. We are leaning toward Husky/German Shepard. But who knows for sure. He was not housebroken when I brought him home but is crate trained. He is doing good on his house breaking, at least he asks to go out. :) He stays in his crate when I am work. When I get home in the mornings (on work nights anyway) he gets to go out for a walk, then he gets to roam the house while I sleep. He gets along well with both cats. Oh yeah! I named him Tiberius. His previous owners called him Blaze, which he didn't answer too. That is him above. Isn't he beautiful? Notice how he is laying next to his bed instead of on it. He does the same thing with his crate. He pushes the dog beg out of the way or sleeps under it. He is a strange dog. :D

I think that is all for now. I promise more regular updates, not that anyone reads this thing. :D

Writing forums

Ok, so some of you know I write stories and such for fun. Some of you have even read some of the stuff I've written. Well, after much thought, I joined a writing forum. I know there is at least one writer (*ahemDANIahem*) on my friends list. I know Alex is working on a book. So for all of you writers here is the link: WritingForums.org. My name on there is Dunixi. If you join and can't find me, drop me a message with your info and I'll find you. So far I like the forum, you read other peoples work and get to critique it and vice verse. Now Alex, you can't complain about me writing for no reason. I'm sharing my work with others. =P I hope to see some of you there.

Hopefully more posts will come here, I am going to try to write a blog entry at least once a week. It may just be something I've written or a rundown of events. Who knows.

Wow...been forever it seems

Its been a looooong time since I've updated my blog. Alot has happened, well sorta. I am working nights taking hotel reservations now. Woohoo, I think. I only work three days a week then have the rest of the week off. So I guess its not so bad. I also learned that my little sister, Diana, is preggers with her first little one. I have been crochetting a blanket for her. I have to get it finished and shipped to her before June. My man has enlisted in the Army because he can't find a job up here. Sadly the work we did at ATX has made us over qualified for almost all the jobs up here. It sucks, but that is the nature of the area we live in.
My Mom and her fiance are getting married in May, so I have been helping her with the wedding. I am her maid of honor, which means I'll be all dressed up. Bleh. I'll do it for my mom though as much as I hate getting dressed up. They are having two weddings, one in May and one in July. The one in May is so Mom's family can be there. So I'll get to see my grandparents, my uncle John and his boyfriend. Then in July they are having a wedding so his family can be there. That should be a fun wedding. lol. I think that is about all for now. I'll add more later if I come up with anything.

woohoo for work...I guess

Figured I'd blog a bit while I'm sitting at work doing nothing. Yay for doing nothing. I am still working overnights and its ungodly early. In about 1 and a half hours or so the day crew will be coming in and then it will be almost time for me to go home. That means I can go to bed, and

maybe, just maybe, actually get some sleep. I mentioned in my last post that I had been in Vegas. I'll add some Vegas pics.

The first picture is of the New York, New York hotel and rollercoaster. That rollercoaster is awesome! I loved it! I ended up with a massive headache, but it was still alot of fun. The next picture is of the MGM Grand. Another really cool hotel. They have

a lion enclosure inside. The lines are cool. I have pictures (and a video) of them too..but not on this computer.

Last but not least is the Excalibur. I know...there are lots of other hotels in Vegas, but these are the only ones I have pics of here at work....actually I think they are the only ones I took pics of. I take that back. I have pics of the hotels on Freemont street. I'll have to post those tonight. =) I have some other pics they are all up on MySpace (or will be soon).

Viva Las Vegas

Well I survived my trip to Las Vegas. I got to work with two great photographers. I am excited to get to see all the pictures we shot. I also went to California to see some family. I got to see my Grandparents on my dad's side for the second time this year. That was great. I got to catch up with my Uncle John (Dad's brother) and that was also very awesome. I got to see my Grandparent's on mom's side for the first time in four years. I missed them soooooooo much. They even suprised me with a big mexican dinner and family I haven't seen in ages. I got see my cousins James and Amy. I also got to see my cousin Priscilla, her daughter Trina and my Aunt Debbie (Mom's sister). I didn't get many pictures of my family, I was too busy catching up on all the goings ons. Its hard to believe I hadn't seen most of them in years, but it was just like old times. James, Amy and I sat outside and chatted. Grandpa Martin took us shooting with one of the .22 rifles he has. It was a great trip, but I'm also glad to be home.

Yay for Overnight Shifts part 3

I have about an hour and half left of this overnight shift. I am so not looking foward to doing this again tomorrow. I am not sure what I'll do to entertain myself. I an fighting sleep so bad right now its not funny. Almost done.

Yay for Overnight Shifts part 2.

Its almost two in the morning and I have just about 6 hours left of my first overnight shift. So far so good. I have been keeping myself busy reading a blog I found at my old job. I adore June's blog. I have been reading the archives tonight to keep me awake and was actually laughing so hard my eyes teared up. The other guy working with me must think I'm a bit crazy. lol. Oh well. So go check out Bye Bye Pie at http://www.byebyepie.typepad.com.
