r, with a glass of chardonnay. I am completely nostalgic about High school and college, but realize more and more everyday that ha...I am getting old. Update- Well it is the new year and let me fill you in on what is new in my life. I am still in the same house and and sadly I am down to one cat. Custer had to be put down on Monday and it was a very sad and difficult week for me. I know it sounds crazy but when you have a pet it becomes part of the family and it is difficult to say goodbye. Work is good, starting off the new year busy. I took a few vacations to end the summer to warmer places...that was nice. Otherwise life is about the same. I am a year older, quickly aproaching a birthday...now on a lighter note I am in the process of adopting another cat from the humane society. His name right now is Dustin and he is a siamese, maincoon mix. He is adoreable but the name will have to be changed pronto...Ok I renamed him Patton, sticking with the tradition of naming my animals after generals. I am officially a year older today and it is still too soon to tell how I feel about this. I will let you know in a month or so if I feel any different! Well it is summer 2007 and have things changed for me lately. My job has been done away with so I am being gently forced to take a new position within the same company. It has been an interesting two weeks with all the training I have had to endure. Unfortunately there is lots more where that came from. I celebrated yet another birthday and spent it in sunny California. This was the perfect distraction from turning 40, yes I admitted it, I am now 40 years old. I flew into LA, spent a day there before going up to Bakersfield for an AFI concert (my favorite group), then back down to LA for a movie premier, came face to face with my favorite actor. Now that was cool! Eventually we made it up to San Francisco, driving pacific coast highway 1 and when I say it took hours to drive, I am not kidding, nine to be exact. Went to Alcatraz and really enjoyed my stay...ha. It was beautiful though. Loved California, could move there tomorrow to be quite honest with you. Otherwise, the boys are all doing well, health wise I am doing well also. Still in Waterford and loving the summer weather. I have a fun car (mazda 6) that I pull out when the weather finally breaks for the better. I will update you all again once something real exciting happens in my life. Aug. 3, 2007 Not much new to report. Continuing to endure endless hours of training. I will move into my new position officially in September and moving to a new location, Wixom. Still enjoying the "dog days" of summer. I have a vacation coming up but have no idea where to go for it. Thought about Vegas but it is so hot out there right now and I have been there a few times already so it might be nice to go someplace different. Thought about doing a whirl-wind trip to Europe (Paris or something) but haven't made up my mind. Still mad at the french for hating Americans...ha. Otherwise I continue as always, working, living, enjoying my car. I just got my hair cut off short for the end of summer. Love the style, very trendy...I can liken it to Victoria Beckham's hair (since her picture was the inspiration). I love it, Mike hates it, School My biggest highschool crush was John Miller. A year behind me but I didn't care. I used to follow him around in the halls and hope he wouldn't notice that everywhere he went, I seemed to be. Now I guess they might call that stalking.Ha. I loved school, crazy huh? Who would have thought. If you consider how much I didn't study, if I actually had I could have been an all A student. I really have nothing bad to say about my four years at Walled Lake Central. My teachers were helpful and more than pleasant. College My roommates in college were also my sisters. It saved my parents from having to buy three of everything. I absolutely loved the college experience and made the most of it. Staying up too late, getting up too early and never getting enough good food or sleep. I met a lot of really great and diverse people but I learned through the years to appreciate everyone for their gifts, talents and personalities. I met some great guys along the way, and if any of you read this, thanks for the memories. I do wonder sometimes where I got the energy to stay out so late and where I found the time to do any studying. Workplace I work for a credit union doing Indirect Loan processing. It has nothing to do with my degree but it pays the bills. I don't mind my job and it is not too long of a drive, so that makes it rather convenient.
