I have no idea

So, I realized my last post for 2014 was not that good. It wasn't written well and well, basically sucked. So, for those that have read it, I have deleted it and am just writing a new one starting now.

Last year had ups and downs, but I always managed to land on my feet, thanks to my wonderful family and John. John, as you may know, is my boyfriend. We've dated on and off for 5 years and as of July 2014, are actually a "real" couple as we put it. We now have taken several trips together, hes met most of my entire family, only a few cousins left to meet. And I've met some of his. 

I even got to go to the mountains twice with him to see his "family", once at thanksgiving and once a couple of weeks ago.

Last year I got to visit mom and dads' several times to see Laird, my only nephew, and of course, see Alex too, my younger, but taller sister. That was a lot of fun. I got to go to CFA several times, the gym, Marbles, Yates Mill, the fire station, trips to the grocery store and other places with Laird. I had fun. Right now, I only get to see pictures of him, sigh. Oh well. Sooner or later they will return to the states for a visit or be here, who knows.

And I got to help celebrate Lairds' 3rd birthday, chase him around the house, walk up and down the driveway with him, play in his fort, watch countless tv shows and movies with him. And I wouldn't trade a second of it for anything else. I still miss him like crazy and once in awhile will watch those tv shows, but mainly I watch my shows on tv. It was always fun to walk in the house and see him and immediately start chasing him, running around everywhere, getting my face smushed with the pillow. Or even having him jump on me, NOT.

Last  year I also moved in with Aunt betty, which has been ok. 

I also could finally say I have had bed bugs and it was not fun. I went to work with all these bites in my head, arms, legs and back, I looked like a connect the dots book. Those got gone, and I moved not long after that. Oh well.

I worked at NCSU for a few minutes before quiting because it wasn't my cup of tea. Oh well. I've been putting out applications out like crazy, but not real bites yet. We'll see. I did get one job, but because of transportation issues, ended up not taking it. Who knows. Can always try again another time.

For new years eve, I was at Moms with, Mom, Dad, Pat, Joyce, John, Cindy and Jynx. then came home and slept late then went back and saw Alice, Alister, Betty. Went back to work January 6th and that lasted until March 3 when I quit.

So who knows. I'm writing this from Johns because yesterday I went home to hang out with Mom and visit and help take down and hang up curtains. That was fun and easier for her. Then we watched Flip or Flop for several hours. Fun. Then John and I came home, watched tv for several hours then I crashed. He did too, he had to work, of course, today.

Today I am either going to talk to a lady about a job or interview again for it, we'll see. Not sure. I've also emptied the dishwasher, loaded it, cleaned the counters and picked up a little, as I live here half the time to and should clean stuff as well.

I'm washing my comforter that John shoudl've washed a month ago, but I will, so I can make my bed here.

Thats all, will update soon. And maybe post pictures from my trips. What originally was going to be my spring break, was just a week  off, since I had quit just days before, John took me to the mountains, Boone, Valle Cruz, Wilmington, Durham, Raleigh, Garner, Garner again, Knightdale, so most of the state and county, but I had a blast.

Run, Sam, Run

Yup, 3 words my nephew Laird loves to say and I happy oblige. We run around the kitchen, the living room and back to Gmas and Papas room as well! Laughing as we go. I went home-home last week for a over nite stay to visit and keep Laird entertained so Mom and Alex could get things done, then Mom and I went shopping and back to the apartment.

Then Thursday-Sunday I worked and it was busy.

Tomorrow I am cleaning the apartment, around what little is here and doing laundry. Then going to Johns house so I can sort through stuff before August. Then a nite at home-home.

Tuesday-watching Laird if hes there then back to Raleigh.

Wednesday- the doctors office and getting meds.

Then its back to work.

Next Sunday I am heading up to Camp Oak Hill with one of my friends, I hope to get some great pictures.

So basically I have been working and getting the apartment ready for a move!!!

Thats right, in August I will be moving into a 2 bedroom which I will be sharing with my Auntie Betty. She is moving up here, along with Maggie the cat. We will be getting a two bedroom and I will be able to cook!!! Not that I can't now, but leftovers don't cut it for me sometimes! So, I will become Chef Sam. I am just happy to have CABLE TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunburned and Happy...

Since my last blog, a lot has happened. It was discovered I had Bed Bugs in my apartment, but don't worry, the exterminator has come, so I pray they are gone. After it was discovered I had them, I had to wash everything 500 times, get it out of the apartment, sleep on my couch for a week. And if it weren't for Mom and John, I would've gone broke and crazy. So both came over an let me wash clothes at their house and store stuff there and mom helped me clean up, pull furniture away from the wall.

And in between I worked with what looked like a zillion bug bites, but were bed bug bites. I had them on my arms, legs, back and probably on my head too.

Now, they are gone. Then after all this, I went to the eye doctor, my left eye is bad and I couldn't get new glasses because the prescription was so strong. So I am going to order them online. So I paid for my eye exam and left. Then mom and I went to Kohls, Wendys and by the apartment to get more done. Then the doctor and Rite Aid. Then after that, I took stuff to Johns house then went home for the nite, I wsa on call the next day and they did not need me, so I came back and did more.

Then I worked on Wednesday, then finished up at the apartment and went to mom's house.

Thursday was up early to get ready to leave for our camping trip! It was awesome, 4 days at Kerr Lake. After Lunch Mom, Dad, Alex, Laird and i headed up there pulling the boat. We got the site up and ready, explored and sat in the water. On Friday Ali and Alister got there with the dogs, so we took the boats out, as well as Dad putting ours in early Friday. I ended up sunburned but had a blast. Friday nite also brought a huge severe thunderstorm for like 2 hrs, so I stayed in the camper with mom and laird reading and talking.  So this put a damper on our cook out so some of us ate in the camper, others outside as the rain had passed. Saturday was fun in the sun. Spaghetti was for dinner.

Sunday we did pancakes and bacon, thanks Alistrer and Alex. Then we packed up an headed home, I also had to get back and put my bed together.
