Carpe Noctem

(Seize the night)

So Im all settled into the new apt in Milwaukee. I have to say, I do love it here, just sucks that I don't have a job yet. I find myself quite bored quite often with Shane working his two jobs daily. I feel like a stay at home mom with 2 kids, meaning the 2 kitties we have running around. Mine, and the new addition as of last night, shane's new kitty, which right now is tearing apart a feather toy and cant figure out how to get the feather out of her mouth......

I had a few job interviews so far, all of which seemed interested but I havent gotten a call back from any yet. Im really hoping for this spa job that I recently had an interview with. Seems abouot perfect for me.....so keep your fingers crossed for a call back from them!!

I debated going out and sitting on the roof to write this, but as usual, Im a lazy pile and didn't feel like walking all the way up there.

Milwaukee's good though, I really like it. Ive always liked visiting Shane up here, but never really thought Id be living here one day....Im proud of myself though I must say, I finally made it out of Iowa. Kinda surreal to think about....even though its only a state away, it's still a step. I lve the big city, I dont think Im meant for small town living. I love it to a point and Ill always be the small town country girl that I am but Im not meant for it thats for damn sure.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate my aunt for letting me live with her this past year. She's helped me SO much and I honestly can't even describe how thankful I am for it and for her. When I packed up all my stuff and started putting it in the truck to move up here, she told me if it didn't work up here my room there would always be there....and as corny as it was, it made me tear up. I just really appreciate people being like that towards me....I don't get hospitality like that a lot, so I guess it's just nice. Makes me feel worth a little something anyway.

So this new addition, yep...new kitty :) She's adorable, but looks a little too much like my cat haha. I think its funny cuz Im already mixing them up. We haven't 100% come up with a name yet for her so any options are well appreciated if you send them my way ;) hint hint....I posted a photo earlier on twitter of her if you need/want to see what she looks like. She's not a "kitten" persay anymore, shes 1 year old, but she was only $25 to adopt so it was one of those things where we were like, dude, $25....get her. She's REALLY sweet too..Something Im definetly NOT use to all the time with my bi-polar pysco cat. Which speaking of her, she hates this new kitty...but imagine that right? Her hating something? Who woulda thunk it....

So i really should put more stuff away in the apt, we have boxes still everywhere lol, but I really have no ambition too. I am yet again a lazy pile.... my excuse is there's no where to put everything yet...because mainly the boxes I have left are stuff that should go on shelves, and we don't have any shelves, therefor I cant put it up now can I?! We hung pictures and stuff up the other day though so thats out of the way, now I just need to invest in one big book shelf, or a bunch of wall hanging shelves........this is why I need a job.

I really do miss my old job, the people there were beyond amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect for a job....It was great, and I miss it...ALOT. But what can ya do, right? Ya gotta move on sometime....

In other news, Shane and I decided to check out the casino here in Milwaukee when we were bored one day....very random trip over there, we spent like $40 between the 2 of us and I won Shane $100 on a lucky spin haha, so it was a good trip :) Went out last night to "Dinner With The Schmucks" which was a pretty funny movie I must say....AND we went to a movie tehatre that had a bar in it and let you drink IN the theatre while watching the movie....Im sorry, But I thought that was quite AMAZING! Anyway, I had a lot of fun last night doing that, I love date nights :))

I don't really know much else that has been going on lately....I need more friends up here I think haha! Or you old friends of mine need to get your butt up here to visit ;)!
I guess that's it :)

NEWS!!

So Ive taken the step (giant leap) and decided to move...out of state...FINALLY! Ive been saying since I was in 3rd grade that I wanted to move out of state and I always said the day I graduated I was OUT OF HERE! Well graduation came and went and now its been almost 5 years ago and Im STILL stuck in Iowa.....so this is it, not quite the "Florida" I wanted to originally move to (which could potentially happen), but its still out of state and Im happy for the move. Its a big step but its not TOO far from home, which I think will be good. That way if need be, I can get home in about 4 hours. Im moving to Milwaukee, WI to be with my boyfriend. Sounds silly, but you don't know my position and you don't know how desperate I have been to get out of Iowa. So before anyone starts saying it's a stupid idea, just don't. Its actually what I want to do and Im quite proud of myself for FINALLY having the nerve to move away.

In other news, I officially booked my first magazine spread!!! I dont know if youd really count it but I def am and I am very excited about it!!! My shoot is tomorow morning so you'll hear all about it soon enough!!!

One more thing.....American Idol. My oh-so insistant mother is making me audition for American Idol...ok ok I kinda want to as well haha! Well anyways its in 7 days.....EEK! I still am trying to figure out what to sing, I think I have an idea but who knows...I tend to change my mind a lot lol
