My first week of work was a success. I organized my boards on pinterest, planned my primary lesson for tomorrow, successfully stalked on facebook,  oh and i guess wrote up some quotes and sent in purchase orders. the perks of having a desk job. amirite?
in all seriousness, the first week was weird, but good. i got a free pair of running shoes to test out. i like my coworkers. oh, and i have developed a new obsession with having a kitten.
i love cats more than anything. okay, more than most things. but anyways i have had to suppress my love for them because Justin doesn't understand it and we are not allowed to have pets in our place (dumbest rule ever).   My love for kitties resurfaced and is now at an all time high. it began with my co-worker talking all week about how bad she wanted one of these
----------------->
Gross right? I pretended like i thought it was as cute as she thought it was, but i am pretty sure she saw right through me.

All this talk of cats led me to create a new board on pinterest titled: kitties. and i proceeded to look up cute kitten pictures to post in it. (note: you can never be sad while looking at kitten pictures, it's just not possible).  Then my friend Kaylee sent me text yesterday this is what was in it:

and this message: "My parents cat just had kittens.  You don't want one do you? I think there is one white and the rest might be siamese.  They are so cute and I really like the mom."

uhhhhhhh..... YES I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ONE!!!!!!


and here are the pictures that followed.

How can i deny these creatures? As you can probably understand, the culmination of all this kitten talk in the last two days has just left me feeling kitten hungry.  screw being baby hungry, i want a kitten. 

This would probably be the ideal situation to have in my backyard (yes there are 8 of them). 

 

I don't know why being a "cat lady" has such a negative connotation.  I personally think that having multiple furry creatures that love you and cuddle with you and look cute all the time sounds like a dream come true.

I am going to try to convince my landlord into letting me get one. any ideas people?

TOO MUCH! too much has happened in the last couple weeks! i finally graduated with a bachelors in environmental studies (what do you do with that you ask? i would like to know as well).  i finished up my collegiate running career with a individual conference championship in the 10k and a second place finish in the 5k, and the first team conference title.  so bittersweet. i love this sport and i love competing.  I have the best teammates a girl could ever want. i feel bad because i have totally taken advantage of the fact that i get to spend 2-3 hours with my best buds everyday, without having to put any effort into organizing things.  

I start my first grown up job tomorrow at icon health and fitness in the freemotion section.  I can't wait. it is pretty much a dream job for me right now.  i get to do desk job stuff (not too fun) but also test out some equipment and work with really great people.  i am nervous to start a new job, mostly cause i am scared of being the new girl and not knowing people/ not having people to eat lunch with/ making a fool of myself.  

umm... Justin and I teach primary to the 11/12 year olds. i feel completely inadequate and if it is a preview of how my life as a mother is going to be then i know i am going to fail miserably.  when i ask one of them to do something and they say "no." i just kind of act like they didn't totally just act like the brattiest kid in the world.  i don't know what to do. i bribe them with food (which would always work for me), i am way nice to them, then i am way mean to them. NOTHING WORKS! i feel like they are like dogs and they can sense the fear in me.  

crazy life.
