Long time no type!

I've been so sidetracked lately. First was the holidays, and then was the fight to secure a new job... which, I'm happy to announce, I finally did! I start at Cox Communications (cable company) in their call center on March 5. I need to figure out what to do with myself in the meantime, but at least there's some sort of end in sight.

In other news, I've FINALLY found a doctor who is willing to help me get approved for weight loss surgery! She got me a refferal on my old insurance, but it ran out on Jan. 31, so it looks like I'll be waiting until my insurance through Cox kicks in once I start, but its not all that far away.

I dont have any other news... just thought I'd catch up.

edit: by the way, just for the record, the sleezebags who shot at our house back in November hit us a SECOND night in a row! I just never updated with that info.

Someone shot at our house!!!

HOLY COW.

Someone just shot at our house... 4 times! We've got 4 BB Gun holes in our front picture window! The police are on their way to check it out. Why are people stupid... WHY?!

We were really startled... we couldn't figure out why our window was cracking. We thought "is it really that cold... maybe its just a temperature thing" but sure enough.. there are perfect little holes that go through our screen outside and then through the glass.

I took some pictures!

Sorry about the poor quality... its night time!

Ahhh I CANT BELIEVE IT. My heart is racing and I'm all shaken up. What a bad freaking week. I need something GOOD to happen for a change!

Get down with the SICKNESS...

Has it really been 8 days since I posted? Big oops on my part. I've been sick... some sort of tummy virus. Anyone who knows me well knows I NEVER get nauseated or vomit... and I've spent most of the last week with one big bout of nausea and REALLY bad stomach pain, paired with excessive exhaustion. The stomach pain was almost as if I had swallowed a knife! Ugh. Well, now I feel MUCH better! I've been trying to stay hydrated and whatnot, and so far, so good.

Jason and I only got 4 hours of sleep last night, because we were up at 5am to clean the house. Richard just stopped by to check up on our cleaning and drop off some boxes he'd picked up when he went to Nantucket. I think I might go take a nap. I'm pretty beat, and my tummy is acting up again... :-/

I'm not nuts, just ECCENTRIC!

I want to be internet-famous. I want people to be like, "OMG, Nicole, I wanna be JUST like you when I grow up!!!"

*clear throat* Ok, I'm kidding. I do, however, like people commenting on these blogs. I may only have one or two people who read it right now, I understand that... it's new. Everyone loves a little admiration, or even just pointless little rambling comments. Anything. It definately makes me happy!

I've become semi-obsessed with doing all sorts of graphic design, lately. I like being creative. I've got all this crazy creative energy that I don't really know what to do with, so it gives me something to do to occupy my time. This whole not having a job thing sucks. I'm still waiting to hear from Cox (JR suggested I call them tomorrow, and gave me the name of a woman in HR...) but in the meantime, I'm broke and bored. Eugh.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is on. I need my weekly cry. Later!

Laziness amplified.

Jason and I both didn't get to sleep until 6ish this morning... he couldn't sleep, and I was up ready to vomit at any given moment. I NEVER puke. I barely have the mechanism that even allows it. (Yet, I'll gag when I take pills... but when I NEED to puke to make myself feel better, my body refuses to agree. Figures.) I didn't drag my ass out of bed until around 3pm, and Jason just got out of bed at 8pm. Yes. 8PM! Lazy boy. I'm now begging him to go to the store to get drinks and snacks (we've got NO food in the house!).

And at some point in the next 22 hours I need to do a sinkfull of dishes. Ick.

Jumping right in...

Grr, people make me SO MAD. The news in Tucson tonight is about two Rottweilers in South Tucson who escaped their fenced in yard and were tormenting kids on their way to school. When the cops got there, one of them showed aggression towards an officer so the officer shot it. What I *DIDN'T* know is on Monday, a little boy was killed by his two family Rotties, and again, it was in South Tucson. Now, I don't live in the south part of town... I'm very centralized, but I have two wonderful, loveable, cuddly Rotties, who couldn't hurt a FLY. I'm so afraid that there is going to be a backlash against Rottweilers, and someone is going to say something about my dogs. Like I said, they are harmless, but Piper is NOISY. She is very playful, and barks at just about everyone walking by the house, hoping they'll come over to her and pet her... but she's a big dog, her playful bark could be miscontrued as aggression to someone not familiar with dogs. Jason and I know better, because we know her. *sigh* I don't know. I'm just worried for my girls.

Obligatory Welcome Post!

I love new blogs. :)

I love tweaking the design until it's JUST PERFECT, and then giving all my friends the link. I've typically used Myspace for blogging, but sometimes, there are things you don't want just ANYONE knowing. There are people on there who I barely know, but have friended, and I really dont think they need to access the details of my personal life. So, if you're reading this, consider yourself part of the "in" crowd... the people who I'm up front and candid with.

I really try to stay on top of things, and post daily (sometimes more, sometimes less... it evens out) so if I seem to dissappear for a few days, SAY SOMETHING! Leave a comment here, and it'll get emailed to my inbox. Say, "Nicole... get off your ASS and tell us what's going on!" I dunno if there's actually who CARES that much, that they'd get so antsy for a Nicole post... but hey, it'd be kinda cool if there was. It'd make me feel awfully special!

Anyhoo :) That's enough for now. Remember: I love comments, and I know you LOVE leaving them... SO DO IT!
