I'm baaaaccckkkk! Did you miss me? Because I am certainly missing all of you! During the holidays it seems like a lot of us didn't have much time to blog huh? Well, so far this year, I have managed to completely spring clean my apartment (while my roomate is gone to New England until February). I have gotten every nook and cranny cleaned, bleached, dusted and organized. It feels fantastic to have all of this accomplished!
I will be moving to my own apartment in June and I can NOT wait! I've lived here for the past 5 years with my cousin and man have we had our ups and downs. But, she's moving to New England in June. I am so freaking excited about moving into my own apartment! I will be living in my same apartment complex but just to a one bedroom apartment. I absolutely love this complex as it is really nice and has a pool, pool house, putting green, brand new fitness center, post office, club house, car wash, storage room with each apartment and the management is beyond friendly! I know since I'm 32 I should probably be buying a house, but I have absolutely no interest in doing so. It's too permanent for me. I love the idea of when something breaks here, they fix it, they cut the grass, plant the flowers, etc. I just don't want to do any of that! I love the fact that I could pick up and move anytime I wanted (since I've lived her for 5 years, I don't have to commit to a lease anymore--I can leave anytime I want). Not that I would, or plan to leave--it's just a freeing feeling to have that option. I'm a creature of habit, so I'm not really looking forward to the actual moving part, but at least it's just across the parking lot ;). And...HPB just lives down the street from me, so it's nice! He can be messy at his crib, and I can be OCD clean at mine and we can see each other anytime in less than one minute. Seriously, one minute away!
I am also getting a kitty! I've never been a cat person, but lately they have just stolen my heart! I have been looking for the past 6 months and last night I almost adopted one from the Humane Society. She was a black and white medium hair female who was adorable. She had been declawed on all four paws and suffered some abuse. But....she was extremely snappy and was going to need LOTS of time and attention. Since I work 12 hour shifts, I didn't think it would be fair to adopt a special needs kitty. So, the search continues. I will ONLY adopt one from a shelter, Humane Society or a rescue. I'm not about to go out and buy a cat from a breeder when so many need homes.
In reference to the job that I was thinking of switching too late last year...I decided against it. I'm currently a Sergeant and run my own shift. I really enjoy this, and I feel like I'm good at it (they've let me do it for the for the past 4 years, so I guess I'm doing something right). The officers who work under me are a great team and we all get along great. So, I'm gonna stay where I am. I enjoy being a supervisor and the other position would not have afforded me this "luxury". I'm very blessed to have a job that's stable and though I may complain about it sometimes, I'm pretty content.
This post is pretty long, so if you've stuck in there with me, thanks! I'm looking forward to this year and what adventures it may bring! I should be back to regulary scheduled blogging from now on.
Smooches,
K~

Good for you for only getting a shelter cat! It's unfair to so many animals out there that need a loving home...
It is nice having a stable job that makes you happy! At least you know that each day on the job will bring you something different :)
I does feel good to get all those things accomplished. We got our kitty from our vet a few years ago. She had just been left in the street and we were looking for a new kitty, so - perfect match. Good decision about the job! Good to be a super :-)
Yay for all the fun things coming up!!! I love Gracie (my puppy) but sometimes I wished i had a cat instead! She's such a handful!!
And I am SO jealous! I can not WAIT until I get my own apartment!!
Sounds like 2009 is holding some fun cards for you!!
I wish I could be that productive with cleaning. Good job!
welcome back!
Welcome back! It sounds like you have a lot of exciting, fun stuff to look forward to in the upcoming months! And a kitty! How exciting.
Congrats on the kitty-hunt! I got my dear Wila at a shelter almost 7 years ago and she's been my constant companion. Plus, she doesn't mind if I have long shifts at work or stay out past my bedtime...or hers!! She's always glad to see me when I come home. Good luck! Those rascally felines are really good at pulling heartstrings!
I can't wait to adopt a kitty! But I live in an apartment where cats aren't allowed. But I may be moving in the spring/summer...I've already looked at a few...ugh I want one now!
Adopted animals are the best! Congrats on getting your own place!
So glad you are back. Can't wait to meet your new cat!
