Life's Twists and Turns

I have not blogged in a while, but I must say, my life has been nothing short of interesting lately. Last week, the hose to my toilet burst, flooding the center portion of my house. Luckily, I caught it early and nothing needs to be replaced.

My never ending quest to fulfill my need for a soulmate continues. While my life with the pets is fulfilling, the joy of spending my life with someone remains a desire of mine. I am certainly not getting any younger and the thought of a steady relationship is quite appealing. Hopefully, someday soon I will find that special someone.

In other news, Aspen is a couple of weeks into her advanced training at Pet Smart. She did pretty well this weekend, mainly working on her reactions to distractions and other dogs. I am hopeful that, with practice, she will eventually get over her barking at other dogs. Connor is still the old, lazy bum that he has always been. Lois is still a crazy kitty, but stays out of trouble.

I recently noticed that AMU finally started offering concentrations for history majors, so I decided to drop my minor in Intelligence Studies and change my degree to a major in history with a concentration in early European studies. By doing this, I get to take more classes pertaining to ancient and classical history, which are the eras that interest me the most. The change added two classes to my degree, but I will still finish sometime in 2012, hopefully that spring.

Work is work, still get picked on a lot, but it appears people have stopped spreading nasty rumors about me. It was beginning to get rather irritating and childish, but maybe my time on dayshift has proven beneficial, as the majority of the office has begun to see the real me.

Well, it has been fun and I hope to keep everyone more updated in the future. For now though, I bid you all a farewell. By the way, if you have not caught the latest and greatest trailer to Iron Man 2, you must watch it. If trailers are any indication, that movie will be epic! Ciao!
