PhD???

Today we asked a little girl what her life goals were (keep in mind she's 5). Her reply....

"Well I'd like to grow up to be either a fairy or a princess......but probably a fairy, cause you need a PhD to be a Princess..."

Who knew!!!

That's all it takes???

Apparently all i have to do to fix something/get my way.....is send it out into the blogospher (i have no idea how to spell that made up word!). I'm no longer thinking about cutting out my woman parts..... this will probably last ohhhh about three weeks and then some one will have to take the scalpel from me.

k well that's all.....

Me...being lame.

i know i promised something fun.....but i'm lame.

new job = no fun

well ok maybe i lie..... i've still had fun....but i've been sooooo stinking preoccupied with work (read...orientation...STILL) and plus they just scare you at new jobs with the whole BIG BROTHER crap.... ugh.

So the new job. Starting out...LOVED it! was busy, there wasn't much down time.... all the things i wanted...THEN, the uppers had different plans and moved me to another location (i've learned in the previous week or so that this has nothing to do with me, rather the other person...apparently i'm sooooo amazing at my job they don't think i need all that much supervision....which means i go to the location with less people....read....LESS THINGS TO DO!) I'm frustrated...they actually told me to bring a book to work....REALLY!!!!! i'm hoping i'm just assuming too much and there will be things for me to do, and if not, i'm not afraid to ask....beg.... cry....throw fits...until someone gives me work (is that sad...?) I just keep reminding myself.... ok abby, you were super bored at your last job and made less money with waaaaaay less benefits....it's ok....you'll survive. But frustrated i remain. This may be the rum talking....but i think i'm ready to feel needed....to feel like i'm actually doing something....making my mark. Weird. So we shall see how this all goes....

On a whole different note....i hate my body (not physically, so don't freak out sarah)....i'm considering having everthing removed.... do they do that???? I'll spare you the details....but just know this matter frustrates the bejesus out of me.

I'll work on pictures....i'm not dumb...i know everyone likes those kinds of posts better :)

My bad....

I've been a bad blogger as of late..... but i have good reason i promise!! With my new job my schedule has changed and it's sort of thrown me for a loop....plus at first i was scared to get on the internet :) Don't worry, i'm back to my old ways.....

I promise to have something fun and exciting soon.....

Short interruption....

Sorry to break up the Abby/Travis montage theme we have going on....but i just needed to state the fact that today is my LAST day here at the Holiday Inn Denver Lakewood. Bittersweet really.... i'm excited to be moving on to bigger and better things (more money, more pto...more stuff to do!) but at the same damn time i can't stop crying. The best thing about this place BY FAR is the amazing people. I've grown super close to my co-workers.... and they've grown to tolerate me...cusswords and all!!! I'm going to miss them....A LOT. I plan on popping back in from time to time, yelling a few F words just to keep them on their toes :)

Thanks for the memories HI lakewood....your top notch!!
