I Urge You to Adopt a Shelter Pet!

I came across a pet listing on Craigslist.org for a local shelter in the state of GA, but it had a heart breaking story to it!  There are thousands, upon thousands of pets euthanized in the United Statet every day, simply b/c there is no room for them and the shelters are overflowing with stranded animals!  So, I went to this site from Craigslist.org and was outraged at a page I found on this shelters site ...... all of the animal euthanized from this shelter, simply b/c no one wanted them!  Link to site ----  http://www.shelterrescueinc.org/id6.html .    This saddens me so much.  I litterally cried for about 30 minutes while looking at this page.  I just believe that there are so many forgotten animals out there that need us.  Could you imagine your family pet being lost and picked up by a shelter to only be euthanized.  This makes my heart very saddened.  I am a animal lover and have 4 dogs.  So, to see all of these poor defenseless dogs/puppies/cats/kittens killed for no good reason, outrages me! 

So, I ask you, if you are looking to get a pet, PLEASE, PLEASE go to your local animal shelter / pound / animal control and save one of these forgotten angels!  If you need links to a local shelter in your area, please comment me and I will find one for you!  PLEASE save an animal at your local shelter or if you are looking for a good cause to support, I suggest your local Humane Society or event volunteer at a local shelter.  Give anything you can to these shelters.  They simply have to euthanize these animals b/c lack of funding.  If you love animal like me, please find in your heart to do this for a good cause! 

PLEASE ADPOT A SHELTER PET!!!!!!!

Busy, Busy .....

Hi all!  I feel I have neglected this blog lately and I so need to try and keep it up to date!  As for all the happenings, Summer has been such a busy time.  Too much things to do, in too little time!  I have been working more and have added another 4 hour day (Mondays) to my schedule at work, so that bills will be paid of sooner!  I am now working 32 hours a week, still part time!   I have FINALLY decided the route I want to go in school and will be starting Phlebotomy classes in the Fall.  I have to take 1 semester class and then the next semester will be the clinical and I will have my degree.  Only 2 courses to take and I will be done with school, well at least for now anyways!  I really sat down and thought, "Hmm, what do I want to do" and "Quit procrastinating and get on with it, Jennifer".  I am so looking forward to starting anew and being able to buy a home and pay off my car and "maybe" buy a brand new Kia Sorento!  I am sooo tired of my current job and there are lots of changes coming and they are cutting positions like crazy!  I mean, I have a great job, don't get me wrong, just not something I want to do for the rest of my life and at least with Phlebotomy, you are always up and dashing around!  I hate the 4 or 6 hours of sitting with my current job! 


I want to really get this degree over with and start working, so I can start helping my parents out more, with my uncle, grandma and cousin living with them, things have been pretty hard and it would just help out soooo much.  I have wonderful parents!  Especially my mom!  I was talking to her this morning and said "I wish sometimes I had my own place", to which she responded, "Well, if that's what you want, I will help you  get a place and help you out as much as possible", really mom, I love you, but you already do too much and with everyone else living and sucking my parents dry, I would in no way even fathom doing it!  Just, wish I could get away sometimes!  You really don't know how much you enjoy you alone time, until there is NONE!  Someone is always complaining about something or in a bitchy mood or just hateful or ungrateful and sucking people dry or fighting or arguing!  It seems, I am living in the real world now, only which I though was a fantasy as a child! 


On another, more pleasant note, My BFF since birth, Stephanie is blessing me with a niece in December and I am so excited!  I can't wait to hold her in my arms and spoil her!  Steph says it is now my turn to have one, so that they can grow up together like we did.  Slight problem, no male figure and to early for me, even though I want a baby so bad, not in this situation!  Still, I think the sperm bank in the route for me!  I see nothing wrong with it and if "Mr. Right" comes along, then I will be more than happy!  I just sometimes forget who is in control and when he, GOD sees fit for me to have a baby and find the right person, I will be there willingly!  Just, sooner than later, hopefully!  I know his plans are far greater than I could imagine for myself! 


Well, ta ta for now!  Hope you all are well! 


Much Love,

- Jenn

Happy Father's Day!

So, today is officially Father's Day today!  I just want to say Happy Father's Day to my dear Daddy!  I love him so much!  He is pretty great, even though he can make me so mad at times, I am just so grateful to have one!  He means the world to me! 

Also, Happy Father's day to my dear grandpa!  He is amazing and one of the best you will find!  Such a hardworking man!  He indeed has been the best g-pa I could have asked for! 

So, today, take time to give thanks for all the great father's in your life and appreciate them while you have them!

So, there was this boy

So, there was this boy and I thought that he was great, but the more I talked to him, the more I thought "Is this really what I want".  I mean we got into some deep conversation and it just didn't seem like me.  And I said some thing that I never thought I would be thinking about, right now in my life.   So, needless to say, he is no longer in the picture. 

But, there is this other guy and he is really the one I think I am meant to be with forever.  He has like me since softmore year in highschool, but I was really mean to him and now that I look back, I really think I missed out on a great guy.  But, I am still friend with him and am trying to obtain the courage to tell him how I feel and ask him all these questions that run through my head all DAY and all NIGHT!  He is always there in my mind and I can't get him out of it!  So, I think maybe he was put in my mind constantly for a reason.  And hey you will never know unless you TRY right? 

Anyways, other than that life is pretty peachy at the moment.  Getting ready for summer and vacation!  I LOVE summertimes here.  They can be HOTT as hell sometimes, but pretty much are great!  I need to get my butt back into school so that I can get out of this craziness at work and finally be doing something I love.  My dad keeps telling me I can't be a career college student, but I think  I can ... LOL ... Just kidding.  I am undecided on which major I want to go into and I have to transfer to a college closer to work and home.  It is a much bigger college and on a different schedule.  I don't take to change well, but this one will be okay in the long run.  Plus, the new college closer to home, has a lot of people there / friends I went to school with and it will be great to see them again.  I am such a dragger, but I will finish by 2015, as I have made that my goal.  Sooner, by 2012 preferably. 

Goodnight dear readers and remember No Man Is An Island ....

So, there's this boy ....

And he kind of makes my heart sing.  He makes me feel all better, even when I have had the day from Hell!  I think he is my drug and I just can't get him out of my system.  He melts my heart. 

So, I am trying some new things in life.  New adventures and better choices.  I think my life is finally moving in the direction I want it to go.  Now, I know that it so isn't going to go the way I always dreamed of or what I planned, because God has better and brighter plans for me.  But, to think that he knows and I don't is kind of amazing.  I am ready to settle down with the right guy and start a family.  I am finally making my own way in this world and have some major life decisions ahead of me.  I am currently saving every extra penny I make, so that I can number 1, pay of my car in half the time and number 2, build me a house and 3 have emergency money for the unexpected expenses. 

This would not be possible, if not for my wonderful, loving parents.  They have given me everything in life and I will be forever be greatful that God chose to give me these parents.  I want to give back to them in the future for all that thet have done for me.  They are some awesome people.  They have worked very hard to be where they are today.  My mom is an amazing woman and sometimes I think I take her for granted, but she will always be here for me and I hope to always be here for her.  I hope that I can be half the woman/mom she is when I have children of my own someday. 

So, I leave you with this ..... love the ones around you as much and as hard as you can.  If there is a guy out there and he makes your heart sing ... then love him as much as possible and don't be afraid for without love, we have nothing. 

Blah

So, I have had this awful crick in my neck for the last 3 days and it is driving me nuts!  It hurst so bad.  I will take something for it and it will wear off, only to come back at night and I haven't been able to sleep b/c of it hurting so bad.  I hate being couped up in the house all day long, and try to spend as much time outside with the doggie that I can, but it has just been so HOTT lately or RAINY that it is useless.  Plus with there being a housefull of people here, i.e. me, plus the parents, plus my grandma, plus my uncle and plus my cousin - that's right 6 people, you never can find a QUIET moment.  And lately my cousin has been a little witch when she doesn't get her way and on Friday / Saturday I snipped at her b/c she pouts and is a total b***h if heaven forbid you ask her to do something.  I mean its not like she has a hard life - she goes to school and comes home to get on her laptop.  So, I got fed up with it and had had enough and snipped and she got the idea, b/c she asked my mom, was I mad at her - Hello - YEAH! 

Anyways, things are better now.  I just get so tired of cleaning, cooking, people complaining about what I cook, people getting mad b/c you are up and about when they are trying to sleep.  Hello, you are the ones who have uprooted my life.  I try to be as non interferring as possible and spend time to myself reading or being outside, but sometimes, I oh so wish that it was just ME again or me and my parents.  Never take living alone for granted, as you would not want to be living in my house right now.  Plus, everyone is making my mom crazy, as they are dumping all their problems on her w/o comsidering her needs and she just need to be left alone, as she CANNOT handle everything.  Her and my father are working thier asses off to take care of all of us and me working helps them out a lot ... but the others seem to care less that my parents especially, and me are keeping a stable, safe home for them and attending to thier everyday needs.

I wish I could just go away and lay on the beach for a few days and be just me alone! 

So, hope everyone is enjoying themselves and remember God loves you and will work everything out in due time! 

Xoxo
