Almost done! 12-9-07

I can't believe I've let the time just fly by without blogging anything! I don' t think I even have anything about our Thanksgiving. About a week before Thanksgiving Scott's dad died. The whole Bushee family had to make an emergency trip to ND. He died of heart failure. Anyway they ended up having their Thanksgiving in ND, so dad was supposed have his at their place, then it changed to him going to Uncle Ron's... well he got the flu that Sarah and Kristy had so he ended up staying at home alone :( *poor dad* The four of us went to Jeff's mom's house for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time, we spent several hours there then headed too Brian's parents. we had more desert there and just hung out. We had a fantastic thanksgiving!!
Laura's 24th birthday came and went real fast! we had Brian over for cake the next day so that was fun!
Work has been absolutely crazy! we are getting 6 trucks a week and we just don't have the man power to get things done. The backroom is so full of backstock you can't move around. Today was interesting I actually took some pictures of work in progress... it didn't really show much but hey now I at least have pictures.
Our going away party given to us by Patti,Brian,Terri and Abbi was awesome. we got there right at six. Brian, Terri, Josh K., Patti, Malcolm, Mandy, Gary *our head boss*,Stephanie, Loretta, Ross, Abbi, Laura, Mom, Debbie and I were all present that night. it was so great to see everybody come and just hang out. Alot of the gang got together and bought us Pittsburgh things, we got a mug that says Pittsburgh, a bumper sticker that says Yinz Pittsburgh, a magnet picture of Pittsburgh city at night, a blanket that had Pittsburgh city on the whole thing, a teeshirt that has Pittsburghes on it, it says alot of the strange words you hear here. for example Yinz... means you all. we all got our own gift bag with all these items in them. It was a great shock that they got us things! we have been to alot of going away party and nobody ever got anything.. they even paid for our food! we didn't spend a dime there!! it was so great of them, I';; remember them for ever *even without the party* we really had a great time, we got a group pic Gary had already left though so he wasn't in it , the Rochester Inn. was great to us some people were their form 5pm till after 1 am.. we all left about 9:45pm we had to work the next morning. they didn't complain that we took the room and seats all night :)
After work on Saturday *Debbie's 20th birthday*, we plus Kathryn *whom drove my car so we could sleep* went to Ohio. We went to Karen's office and spent the day getting pampered. We all got massages, facials, steam shower, hot rocks and our hands neoprene waxed. It was so great I now have had an official massage! I loved it and the facial too. I think we are all addicted to it now. The weather started out cold but nice. then on the way to where Brittney works it turned real bad. the wind picked up and then rain,sleet, and snow all started at once. My car handled terrible!!!!!!!! it was all over the road and the black ice caused my anti-lock breaks kicked in about four times. It wasn't fun! we tried to get to Brittney's work before 8pm so we could make the last seating. we made it there at 8:01 so they turned us away. we were able to wave Brittney down and talk to her, she is a waitress there. we ended up eating at Wendy's and getting home about 1am. we celebrated Deb's birthday on the 2nd, we had Brian over for cake,a movie and dinner. it was fun all hanging out.. *talking about work of course* ( Brian has come over for all four of our birthdays now :P.....) He has become family! a great Uncle figure and a Brother figure to mom.
April is sick again. I have come to the conclusion that she has to be put to sleep. I have called around and found the best place to have it done. I look at her and think .... she's to young to die.. all because of an eating problem... :( I have had her on different meds she doesn't get better with them. by the time they kick in she is already in her healthy eating state. then a week later she goes back to being deathly ill. I have pulled my hair out worrying about her. I hear her barf in her cage through the night and I clean her litter box twice a day cause its mostly black slime and some blood mixed with it. To look at her people would not know she is extremely ill. But I know and so does everybody who cleans up after her. The other day she actually went poop well if u could call it that *I call it slime*, on my bed! I couldn't believe it!! I broke down Friday just before school, cause I finally decided to really have her put to sleep.. I made alot of calls and talked to several vets and techs and they think I'm horrible for having my 3 year old cat put to sleep....I am looking at her now and I'm not sure if i will be able to go through with it, just yet. I wish I knew just what was wrong with her.. I wouldn't mind paying high dollar for food if it was what she needed.. so far I haven't found anything that she doesn't get sick on. I should have her put to sleep this week but.... well see.....
Debbie had her wisdom teeth extracted Wednesday, they were impacted so the Dr. had to go under the roots of her other teeth and scrap her jaw bone to get the teeth out in pieces. She is still in alot of pain. she hasn't been able to go back to work yet. Thursday and Friday she had blue box alot of the day and didn't participate in the Friday Alexander class at all. She had a tough time coming outa the sleep, the Dr's were a bit worried. a nurse asked her my mom's name and she signed ASL to her without even thinking. lol thats just crazy... the nurse knew what she said so it worked out anyway. She is recovering slowly.... but surely...
I bought a new laptop! finally broke down and got it! I like it... I'm adjusting to it slowly. we were so busy with school and other activities such as homework and work, that i didn't open it for a week! after i did open it I didn't use it cause I was annoyed with eh Vista windows. I still don't care for it... the laptop has a webcam, so i got to use it when I talked to Ada a few days ago. it was great i felt like we were really close and not 5000 miles away. Debbie got me a bluetooth for my birthday/ Christmas present! I love it so much!!! its pink of course! weeee.. mom, Deb and I all bout cheap GPS car systems. * they were all black Friday sales.... yes I went shopping that day...* Not early in the morning!.. I bought a new camera too, its a Kodiak 12mp. I LOVE it!!! it records video in HD so it is nice!!! * I spent alot of my saved up grooming money that day* hehehe....
Saturday was my last day at the grooming shop.. it was so sad packing up all my things! I got a lovely Christmas card from Babe and Sue. I had no idea that it had money till i opened it tonight! it was so sweet of them!!.. I'm really going to miss them! I told them that when I visit Pittsburgh that I will defiantly come see them.
This week is our last week at Target, the new schedule is out and we aren't on it... Its kinda a sad sight.. we are having everybody sign our shirts form the party so that should be nice!
We were going to go to Brian's to help him decorate for Christmas today but Deb isn't good enough to do that.. so hopefully Tuesday will work. Tomorrow Dave and Heather are coming so thats going to be fun! it will be our last time of seeing them :( ... we are down to 2 weeks till we Graduate and start home!!!*this month is full of sadness...* anyway Love to All ~Dream Sweet TCaGB ~Julie~
