Proud

  


Mitch graduated advanced training and also passed his Canine Good Citizen test. I couldn't be prouder, it seems like just yesterday he was a little puppy,unable to control his bladder, and could never satisfy his teething.


Mitch at 2 months

home :)

I took a weekend off work and I got to go back home to Kalispell to see my family and their new house. I saw the whole family except for Sabrina (she was out of town). I got to go shopping, out to dinner, and lounge around! Sounds like a perfect weekend to me...

My voter info pamphlet

I received my voter information pamphlet in the mail today (Well to the MT voter at Beckwith). I didn't know it was mine until Dan brought it to me and said I should start reading. This whole voting thing is new to me- well government voting (I take it years of voting for prom court or "if Britney will make a comeback" doesn't count as experience). I registered to vote last spring when I realized it was an election year and I am finally legal to do something worth bragging about (tobacco, alcohol and gambling don't do it for me really).

Surprisingly, deciding on who to vote was difficult. I went as far as to take a little online quiz to find out if I am republican or democrat, I wont say who I am voting for until after I submit my ballot though (which doesn't make my mother too happy).

So flipping through this pamphlet, I am starting to feel dumber by the minute. I should get a dictionary out and look up "referendum", "grandiose","viactical" and "biennial" before November 4th. Just watch, I am going to forget I.D.

Mitch became exhausted from trying to understand the confusing pamphlet lexicon!

Hot chocolate and thoughts...

I just got off work and I am surprised I was only there for less than 3 hours. Every day the restaurant is getting slower, my hours and my tips have basically been cut in half because it is so slow. Everyone is fighting to take more hours or at least to hold on to their own. When the managers call everyone over to send more girls home, we all run and hide, or act like we are so busy we cannot possibly go home yet.


I had expected the excitement of the new restaurant to fade, but this much? It makes me nervous, I just got a car because I thought I could afford it...


Alright, enough financial-concern talk, wasn't it just last week I wrote about my new perspective? I am standing by what I said, I am taking one thing a day at a time, so today I didn't make much money...tomorrow is a new day right? Also I would like to mention that along with a new day- the MINNESOTA VIKINGS ARE PLAYING THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS FOR MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL! Hopefully there will be Viking fans to tip me!


School seems steady this semester, with the right amount of a workload I can keep up working and school at the same time. I have already had 3 tests and have another this week! I cant believe it is almost midterms!


Mitch has started his third week in advanced training. He is a little rusty from his month vacation but is catching on okay. Can you believe he actually stayed put (in a sit-stay) while getting pets from a stranger? I am so proud, but he has a lot more work to do. And to prove that I am proud I am putting his picture up! Yay Mitch!
