Germany quick blog...

hey everyone
well im back from germany! it was a great vacation. granted robbie and i didnt get to really relax at all while we were there. there was to much to see and do. unfort for robbie alot of it was reputious from last year when he went with kiki and torey. and had to see it all over again with me. we did go to a few places that he hadnt seen yet. i got to eat food that you cant get over here! drink tons of gluviene, foot long hotdog, marshmellow things, and german french fries! it was awsome. we walked everywhere in each city. which was alot. i did loose some weight and now trying to keep it off. we saw castles, doms, and big cathedrals. pictures nor videos can protray what i saw!

robbies family:
we arrived at franfurt airport on the 11th and was greated by his father. after robbie greated his dad he introduced me to him. i being a polite woman extended my hand and said "nice to meet you mr. holl." which he told me to call him walter. :) wow! we then headed to his house in ortenburg. which is 404yrs old! wow! however it doesnt have any centeral heating or air conditioning. which was fine. we had our own pot belly stove in our room. which petra (robbies stepmom) kept going all day and our room was nice and warm at night when we got home. after being greated we walked around his dads town then came back and took a nap. after all you dont get sleep on a plane and it was along travel night. ive discovered over that week that robbies father was really funny and very sarcastic. which was great for me since im the same way. i did manage to get the man to turn a deep red at one point :). we did have a relaxful day one day while there with his father and step mom. we spent the day with them. these people walk for fun! seriously. and their dogs are well trained to be off leash and will stay with them. nothing like chase.

well it was a 6hr train ride from his dads to his aunts. and we switched trains 5times. something we wont be able to do if we go back and IF we have kids.

landsburg:
we arrived the following tuesday in landsburg where robbies aunt, which is walters sister, lives. we were greeted right off the train by grutron! she was so happy to see robbie and said he looked like he was happy and glowing. then she was just excited to see me. i have been emailing her for the past three months after all! his uncle wasnt due home for two more days so she took it upon her self to show us around to the surrounding towns. we got to see the new baby felix. and meet some of robbies other cousins! when his uncle arrived home a few days later the party started. i was introduced to german beer and wine!!!! yeppie! his uncle spent the day with us one day and the rest they were nice enough to take us and pick us up from trainstations so we could go to the major cities. it was a great time.

at either house there was so much to do and see that i cant type everything! robbie and i are having a picture and video party at both houses in january. where we can show and tell stories about what we saw!

to anwer the dieing question....no ring. he didnt propose which i kind of knew that wasnt going to happen over there. robbie was worried about trying to get the ring there, not loosing it or it getting stolen, and making sure i didnt find it. at one part i thought he was going to. we were in nuremburg and he said he wanted to take me somewhere special. which when he said that realized that what was going through my brain was that he was going to take me to propose. which then of course he clearfied that he wasnt. its ok. everyone is saying its going to happen. we shall see. the option of a ring and us getting married was discussed over there with both families. (robbies dad and aunt dont get along). both sides seem to have liked me and aprove if we decided to get married. i was told im welcomed back again. which is great!

so with that christmas was nice. we spent christmas eve at the apartment. which is when we returned to the states. and some of christmas morning there too. then head to baltimore. which i was excited about since that ment i could see chase! and we basically chilled all weekend to get ove the jet lag. which im still suffering somewhat with. this coming wednesday night is our one year anniversery! as many of you know robbie and i met on match.com and started talking a week and half before he left for germany last year. and continued to talk while he was there. he came to the states a few days before new years eve and that was the first day avaible to meet. so we went on a baltimore harbor cruise that night and rang in the new year! and a part of me that night knew that i was going to be with robbie for a while. :) again we shall see what the future holds.

well i have to go unpack and then repack. yeppie! lol if you want to see pictures they will be on snapfish i just need your email address to give you access. and i will be hosting the movie and picture night.

HAVE A WONDERFUL SAFE NEW YEAR!!!

germany bound

hey everyone!
well its two days before i leave for germany!!!! my mom and chase and i got the christmas tree this past saturday. i decorated all day yesterday (minus the tree which mom will do the weekend before i come home), chase got his anual christmas bath (something he hated), and im all packed and ready!!!! my lugage weighs abound 40pds which is good bc im allowed up to 50! so now all we have to do is wait till wednesday at 3:00pm for kiki to take us to the airport. i hate dullas however. i always get pulled to the side in security to be checked. never in bwi! grrrr so this will be intresting.

pray for me and robbie and us having a safe wonderful trip. ive had nightmares of getting seperated from him and them yelling at me in german. and not being able to let me find robbie or his dad. so yea. should be interesting. and to put eveyones excitment down...robbie will not be proposing in germany. hes to scared of loosing the ring, hiding it from me, and getting it past security. so we shall see what he has planned thats more romantic then germany. i have to admitt im dispointed. esp when so many people believed he was going to do it then and i kind of got my hopes up. but oh well. he has till jan 1, 2010 to propose. and he knows that i wont wait past two years. ive done the 5yr thing. and i refuse to do it again. i think 2yrs is good enough to get to know a person. but then again alot of friends of mine got engaged before one year. so who knows. two people have said they dont think he will ever. so we shall see.

anywho! see you all when i get back! give me some time after we get back to get pictures posted!

love you!
erin

is there any good thing about work???

NOPE!

good evening everyone
well i do have some thing to be thankful for. my mom, chase, and robbie. my friends are very special to me and im very very thankful for them! however i be even more thankful this year if some other office would hire me!!!!!!

so today i was at work. minding my own business....when wanda comes up to me asking to speak to me. so i follow her back to her cubical (not an office!) and ask her whats up. an patient complained about my body oder! wtf! and it getts better. it came from an india patient! now if you dont know about that race they stink! its the food they eat and they don believe in bathing very often! ok granted i didnt take a shower the past two days. however i didnt do anything this past weekend but sit around at jens house. on my ass! how dare someone say that. so i said ok. im the kind of girl who has a small bottle of loation and body spray in my purse. so i gave myself a little squirt. which then of course set off lois' "ashma". so then she of course complained! so i will be taking a shower every night. which of course will dry out my skin and hair. and i dont know what ill do about my uniform. we have 100% cotton shirts for work. which we only got three apiece. so if you wear one shirt twice a week the cotton soaks up the sweat and everything and keeps it in. so it doesnt 100% come out of the fabric. hence why i hate 100% cotton!!! germany cant come soon enough!

as many of you know victoria secrets is my favorite store! i only wear their underwear and love their clothes! i have robbie hooked on getting me stuff from there at times. but that might be coming to a stop. on black friday i bought a pj set and a robe for germany. well the robe didnt fit and i know i shouldnt have bought it bc i dont really have the money. so today i took the robe back (that being 15.00 more expensive then the pjs). well they started the transaction to return it and then told me that the robe wasnt on that reciet. that the pjs were and a bra. ummm no. i bought a robe and pjs. and the girl said no i bought a bra and pjs. then she went on to say "well do you think its possible that you accidently picked up the robe and walked out with out paying for it?" WTF!!!! ARE F*N KIDDING ME! so i asked for a manager. the girl explained to her that the robe wasnt on the reciet. the manager then went and asked me the same question! i said no its not possible bc one: theres no sensor on the robe! two the girl who rang me up had a mess on her counter and could she had possibly rang up the wrong thing! it was black friday after all! then they wanted to know where the gift bag was. i was like its at home! well according to the reciet says that "the gift may be requested to be returned if the transaction goes under $60.00" MAY be the word there! ok you can have to bag back i told the manager however its full of dog hair and the products in the bag are used. they finally said to keep the bag and the refunded my robe that i stole but it was really a bra. (according to them). so for right now i will no longer be buying anything from there. so if anyone has another nice store like vs that they like and as good please let me know. ive given my coupons away. which i was going to use to buy another yoga pants but that wont be happening. i do have a survey to do on the phone which i will be doing tonight.

let me just say that i cant wait to go to germany in 8 days. esp since robbie arent seeing eachother till the day we leave. yesterday was the last day we saw eachother. so it will be so exciting on the 10th! thats what im thankful for! being able to take a once in alife time trip!

Let me just say.......

hello everyone!
let me start by saying HAPPY THANKS GIVING!!!!!



now on to the good stuff. as you all know i work in higschool. meaning we have assigned lunches, smoke and bathroom breaks, and we wear a uniform. and as more of you know i always go shopping black friday. well this year robbie and i are going just to laugh at the idiots. since we leave for germany in two weeks. meaning we will be up at 3:30am. its cold that time of the day! so i planned to wear jeans and a sweat shirt and a coat. well friday we have no staff here. so i thought ok maybe we can wear jeans. the people who are working are mature people who wouldnt wear crap to work. so i asked judi cut-thoart if we can wear like anything but our uniform. YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I ASKED FOR HER SOUL!!!!!! my god! the look on her face! so needless to say she said no. we have to be in our uniforms on friday. we are open from 8am-2:20pm. about 30 patients all day. and one doc, and two midwives. a total of 10 employees! whats the big feaking deal! so i will be changing in the car on the way to work while robbie drives. since i refuse to wear the uniform starting at 330am! one day when i get back from germany ill get a mature job. where people are allowed to be treated like adults.

germany is two weeks away as of today!!!!!! yeppie! i have one thing checked off my list. a ride to the airport thanks to kiki. packing will start next saturday. next friday my mom is taking me and my grandmother to the hippodrom to see "a chores line'. which is great but it intrupts my decorating and packing! lol. then sunday before i leave my mom decided we can go get the christmas tree. :) guess its hitting her ill be gone for two weeks and wont be home till christmas morning. oh well.

ok let me get back to work before i get detention or a demaret for blogging.

does good things ever happen????

hey everyone
well since people take 12 smoke breaks a day and then decide they dont want to work on black friday...im going to blogg. :)

this weekend was pretty laid back. robbie and i did very little. saturday we went out with my mom and grandmother to valley view farms. robbie was amazed to see all the christmas decorations and told me that it was alot like what ill see in germany. :) sunday, we headed to amber's for evan's 1st bday! it was so cute to see him open presents and shove cake in his face! robbie did survive it. but he was worn out when we got home. lol it was great to see emmy & josh and jenna & benny. but it also made me realize how much i cant wait for it to be my turn to get married and children. robbie is still excited about hopefully that happening one day. he just wont say when. but i have the funny feeling it will be soon. my mother is still asking me about reception halls and my dress. and now she is asking if my cell will work over in europe. im like nope. ill have to email you from houses or call you at times from his family house. she seemed disapointed. whats the big deal if my phone doesnt work? if she knows hes going to propose over there, then whats the big deal if i dont call? i just dont get it. clue number three is that he said to me lastnight "You dont know how hard it is for me not to tell you some stuff." WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN! he wants an open and honest relationship.so do it! lol i dont know what ill do if he does it over there. ill be happy dont get me wrong. but if ive been stressing myself out about wondering and knowing hes going to do it in germany and worrying about my mother giving premision for him to do it...im going to be upset. anyone who knows me knows i hate surprises! esp when it keeps me from planning! lol

so we shall see. germany is coming soon. and im excited and from emails so is his aunt! her last email to me seemed like she couldnt wait!!!! his father on the other hand....yea....if he is the way he is towards me like he is with robbie i dont see myself liking him that much. i plan not to be at his house that much. just to shower, eat dinner, and sleep. fine by me! i know if i was him i would be excited that my son is coming over for the second time in less then a year. and that he's brining a girl who i would guess is special to him! who knows.

work is getting worse. the same stuff happens everyday. and now with it being thanksgiving. wanda is in vegas. people are doing whatever they want. meaning people are taking off now black friday who were spost to be working. i refuse to be the only one here answering phones and checking in patients. i will pretend im sick and not come in if i find out that will happen. im tire of being a team player and not having anyone else help out. hence another reason i want to know when robbie will propose. so i can start getting my life in a VA together. and get a new job.

ok well thats all for now. im so excited for GERMANY!!!!

grrrr on doctors!!!!

hello everyone!
well this is for amberly since she wanted to know about how my "job" aka highschool was going.

every day we checkin patients, and they sign something called a fee ticket. this is sent to the insurance agency after they are seen to be billed to the insurance agency. at the end of the day the front desk (my "position") is spost to get them back so we can balance the copays we collected. YEA RIGHT! im spost to stay late bc the doctor has yet again run behind and they cant get the fee tickets done by 7:30am the next morning! UGH! every morning i come in, and have to run a report with all the patients i checked in and then compare the fee tickets to that report to make sure that the idiots have turned them in. bc when they dont the insurance doesnt get billed, we dont get paided, and i end up getting .12 raise every year! but its ok for me to stay late to wait to check out patients when you run-behind! and you want to know why they run behind. its bc they sit around chit-chatting about cases! wtf! do it on your own time. im sick of working 730am-???? and heaven forbid if anyone else at the front desk stays. lois stays on monday. traci on friday. i stay tues and wednesday! i need to get a kid! this is their excuses for not staying. that and school. one day ill get a mature job. where people are professional to eachother. oh yea and i forgot. when you have at 9:30am doctors appoitment, you need all day for it! wtf! but i have two weeks off for germany and thats thrown in my face all the time! god let me get engaged while over there so i can come back quit and move to va and get a real job! i hate hopkins so much!

and let me just tell you no body follows rules set by the superviors! and now the hell bitch (my new practice manager) is here. so ill post more later!
thanks for listening to me vent.
hugs
erin

ps 19 days as of today till i leave! THANK GOD!

November News

hello everyone!
as germany getts closer the exciment builds. this weekend kiki (robbie's sister) is coming over to help us get last minute stuff planned! theres lots to do over there but we are only there for two weeks! if all goes well we are considerating eventually going back. however this depends on house, kids, and other stuff. i will enjoy everything on this trip. even going through security to the flight!!! :-)

work is the same. the new practice manager is trying to put her beliefs (which is jewish) and customes on every one. yea not going to work on me. i cant stand her and will be thrilled when i leave. im hoping to get a job right before i leave so i can give my two weeks notice as i leave for my flight! robbie did get out of jury duty. he was worried about that and i was also. even though he would be done a few days before we left but i was worried that he would get chosen and he would miss the flight. but hes reschedualed till febuary!

the only thing im worried about when we go to germany is chase. he already getts upset when robbie and i go away for the weekend. and thats even when i call him at night and talk to him. but that wont be possible while in germany. when my mom went to alaska he was depressed for a few days looking for her. my mom is worried he'll be worse when i go bc he's closer to me. but theres nothing i can do. my friend linda is going to bring her puppy over a few times and hopefully that will make it better for him.

my grandmother is getting better. slowly and surely. shes still not driving on her own however she is making dinners and other kitchen things. we are still going out this year for thanksgiving and hopefully this will be the last year. hopefully this time next year robbies family and mine will be having thanksgiving together.

speaking of all that...i think he's up to something. bc my mom is starting to act weird. as you know perry (the prince) had bought a ring and asked my mom for premision. nothing ever happened with it. like my mom never asked me what i wanted for a wedding. like where and stuff. the past two weeks she has been asking me questions. for example where would i like to have my reception. i said wakefield valley where amberly had hers. she then asked how much per person and about how many we would be inviting. ok......how come this is all of the sudden coming up! and all my darling bf is saying hes going to shock me! the man cant. i read him like a book. but all i know is that when he does it i hope someone getts it on video bc i wont remember what he says! ill probably be crying tears of joy. keep you posted on it.

this past weekend i headed down to christopher newport university in newport news. this is robbies alumi college. it was cool to see where robbie got his degree in and meet some of his professors. one who he worked closely with is from germany and told me stuff about germany! i think robbie was a little disapointed that none of his friends showed up. we did meet up with two of them. but didnt get to ask them out to dinner after the game. which was ok. i got to spend a romatic weekend with him in williamsburg.

congrads to my little adopted niece lace! she got all A's and 1 B on her report card! so amber and i are taking her out to dinner next week. this might be my last blogg till after germany. i have alot to do in the next 28days. between work, packing, and decorating my house and robbie's apartment. and im house sitting for my xboss. :-) so we shall see!
ttyl!
loves and hugs!!!!!

the end of october....

hello everyone!

well october is over! and what a busy month it was! between going to the farm, hayrides, carving pumpkins, planning germany, and heading to the haunted mill, its been a busy month! we are continueing our count down to germany!!!! and thats what our main focus in november is. getting an itarenry ready for his family so they can get their scheduales set for us.

robbie headed to his first club this past saturday night! it was very intresting. needless to say he didnt dance but was tapping his fingers and bobbing his head to the music! he said he would go again with me. thats progress! :-)

we are heading to his college this weekend to go to his college homecoming! i will be surronded by geeks from his department. at least its free food and tickets to the game! i love robbie enough to hopefully survive being surronded by computer people! :-)

work is the same. people can take 5 5mins smoke breaks in the morning and afternoon, an hour lunch, and leave at 430pm and nothing happens to them. but heaven forbid you come in late on election day bc you need to vote in the morning bc you have to stay late on tuesday! grrrrr. one thing i cant wait for when i get back from germany is serious job hunting. the reason im holding off is bc i want hopkins to pay the vacation time. of course this is the same girl two weeks ago that while i was at the other office decided to feed the fish (which btw that is assigned to somoene else when im not in the office which she did already that day). she gave them about half of a can of fish food saying well they looked hungry! we have gold fish....and if you arent familur with them, they will eat themselves to death. which one of them did plus the alegy sucker. isnt that nice. she didnt pay for them. im surprised her kids are still alive personally.

on a happier note, i just cant stop talking about counting down to germany!!!!! i have been emailing robbies aunt and uncle in munic the past two months. getting to know them and sending them pictures. :-) i cant believe the time is only alittle over a month away from today!!!!

my friends are starting to guess when robbie will pop the question. since it obvious that he will be doing it in the very near future. and youre probably wondering how i know this....well one i can read the man like a book. two hes asked me several times of what kind of ring i want. that kind of gives some ideas away. but as i said my friends are starting to guess when he will actually do it!!!!

anywho since im at work guess i better do some kind of work!!! :-)

October update

hey everyone!!!

well its count down to germany! robbie and i are getting more and more excited as the day that we leave draws closer! i thought we would be relaxing before leaving but we have had so many invites and fall activity ideas that its just not possible! but we are excited never the less either way!

work is about the same. my boss is having her dental surgery done this week. so i hope all goes well for her! my grandmother is slow recovering and doing better. she will be moving upstairs back in to her bedroom hopefully this weekend. she is driving alittle with the supervision of my mother in the car. she is using her cane and walker less around the house and has actually walked down to the basement to do laundry! bryan is still at safeway and decided to take the night shift. he works 10pm-6am 6days a week. he got a big pay raise for this. hats of to him. one day ill get a real job with a real paycheck! lol

robbies grandparents are back from a month long trip in italy safe and sound! which is awsome news! we are looking forward to hayrides, haunted houses, skyline drive, and many other things this fall. we are heading to his alumni college of christopher newport on nov. 8th for his homecoming! we are heading to skyline for the day this weekend to see the pretty leaves change color! and then next weekend to pa for a trip to the haunted mill! i love the fall! wine festivals are over for the year. :-( last weekend was linganore's last festival. it was chilling but hot spiced apple wine helps alot to warm you up! ok off to pack for the weekend. enjoy the pics!

Quick Recap

hey everyone!!!
well on thursday was robbie's 26th birthday!!!!! on wednesday i arrived and set up the presents for him. which included a 19inch flat screen tv for his bed room, an engraved mug from things remembered, three picture frames i built and painted, a beer glass from hallmark (one of my favorite stores), and a small photo book of our adventures so far. i did take him to dinner on wednesday night to the melting pot in reston which he totally love. on thursday we packed up and head to luray for his bday camping trip. noreasterns i thought were spost to stay on the coast and not come to the mountains! well we got up there and it was all clouds on skyline drive. which of course ment rain. we set up his small tent (which we were planning to use for storage and emergancy incase friends who didnt rsvp (which ill get to later) showed up. and then set up my tent in the wind and rain. well after all that headed to luray to get a huge tarp to put over my tent. it took us over an hour to get back to the camp site. bc of the clouds on the mountain of skyline drive. yuck!!! so we just went to bed. slepeing in the middle of a hurricane is not something i recommend! i can camp dont get me wrong and robbie is an eagle scout. but all my god! i didnt get any sleep all night. listening to the wind wip the tents and the tarp that was over our eating area, and then fear of wild life freaking out and running through the camp site. so friday we woke up wet and cold. kiki and torey were due up that night and knew we had to make a decision about that. so we headed to the ranger station and found out 60% chance of rain every day this weekend and lows in the 40's. yuckie! so we packed everything wet up in black garbage bags and headed home. :(. on the way home we decided to invite kiki, torey, stephanie, john and robbies mom over saturday night for a bday dinner. which worked out for the best. i love my potential future sister in law bc she was still willing to come up and camp in the rain for robbies bday :). but she didnt have to. so lastnight we had the dinner party. which turned out really well. and let me just say cleaning a one bedroom apartment is hard. what am i going to do when i have a whole house to do and kids running around! so all turned out well for his bday even though it wasnt exactly how i planned. we are heading to bmore for the rest of the day to dry out the tents and stuff for next month. we are planning to try again for camping on skyline to see the leaves change and taking chase for the night. :) ill have pictures up soon. i just hope robbie was happy with his bday. next year ill be planning better for weather!

in other news...germany is counting down!!! im so excited! we are now thinking of going to berlin for a few days, frankfurt for two days, and the rest of the time in munich! kiki is helping me plan days out and what to see and book a hostel (yea thats how its spelled. they arent hotels. ill explain later) for berlin. robbie and i are starting to save. since all our gifts to friends and famiy will be from germany since we are getting home on christmas eve! im very excited and i know robbie is to. his aunt and uncle are excited to welcome me into their house and family which is relaxing me about going more and more. lets not talk about his father right now. l

ok thats all for now. have to get ready to head home with robbie following behind me. :) cya!

Anywho back to Highschool (this is now what I call my "job").

Working with thieves....

Hey everyone,
Well work is getting worse. When Hopkins bought the practice they said they got rid of all the employees that had criminal records. I think they didnt. Fast forward to a few months ago. A friend of mine was set up by another co-worker. My friend ended up hitting it of with this guy. Well the co-worker didnt like it after all and started drama. This has been going on for a while now. And the co-worker decided she was going to get revenge on my friend anyway she could. Fast forward to last month, my friend (ok her name is Lisa) got Lourainne in trouble. The co-worker is part of Lourainnes possy. Lourainne was very much a gosiper, so if you told her something the whole practice would know. Well as you all are aware Lourainne quit (due to pressure). Fast forward till today....This morning the front desk had a staff meeting. Lisa and Wanda came to the meeting together. Lisa put her cell phone down on a table by where she and I was going to sit for the meeting. The only people that were in this meeting were the front desk staff. No patients in the lobby however two people from Lourainne's possy are there. At the end of the meeting, with the doors still locked Lisa got up to get food then went back to grab her cell phone. It wasnt there. So she thought she left it in her car. So she went out to look for it. Not there. Its no where down in the lobby where the meeting was. I asked her if she was sure she had it when drove in today. Thinking she left it at home. She said she's knows she brought it because she talked to her mom on the way to work. So we dug through the trash, recycle bins, shredding bins, and I tore her car apart. It wasnt there. Enter Jessica. She said she saw Lourainnes possy huddled together looking at something. What she doesnt know and coulnt get close enough. So Wanda and Judi (our new practice manager) sent out an email saying that a cell phone was lost and if found to place return it to Lourainnes empty office. NO QUESTIONS ASKED! A way for the person not to get into any kind of trouble. As of the end of today at 545pm no phone was returned. I now thing it has been dumped somewhere else or distroyed. However I do have a patient who is good friend of mine and her husbands a cop. We find the phone we will have it dusted for prints. I just dont understand the person(s) had the balls to take the phone while no one was looking, have the freaking balls to put it back. Keep you posted....


So Robbie and I decided to go to Kings Dominion this past Sunday with his sister Kiki and her boyfriend Torey. The tickets were cheap. So we get on the new roller coasters and I'm perfectly fine. Having a blast. Getting on Dominator, Volcano, Anaconda, that kind of stuff. Then we hit the wooden roller coasters.....Robbie is alilttle bigger then me. So I get into the car on the Hurler. Robbie sitts next to me and off we go. The first major turn with the momentum and turn Robbie accidently slams into me. Which in turn slams my left side into the car. Right on the breast! And two more turns follow. By the time I get off the rid I can feel the breast bruising. We go to get onto the Grizzly. Ok alittle calmer ride. NOPE! Again slammed. By the time we left the park to go to our picnic lunch I'm now in serious pain. And it just got worse as the day went on. By the time we left I could no longer raise my left arm, I was hold the breast up and had the bra off. It was so painful I couldnt twist at all. I didnt drive home that night I stayed at Robbies. He had to help me get undressed and into bed. I couldnt lay with out pain. This is still going on today.
Its finally starting to turn purple. I think I bruised the breast tissue and muscle. UGH!!! But I still had fun! And I dont blame the man I love. He did take care of me on the way home.

I am getting ready for Robbie's bday. After trying to email some of his friends for the past two months and having no response I decided to tell Robbie about the surprise part. Then this past Monday night I get an email from one of them! Saying sorry he hasnt responded and blah blah blah! So I emailed him back and told him that people were still invited however I wouldnt be able to provide food and emailed him a list of what Kiki and I decided to cook. Needless to say I havent heard anything back yet. WHATEVER!

Germany: Robbie has gotten an invite for Germany from his aunt and uncle and dad and step mom. We have two possible dates in mind. December 26th-January 12th. Or December 28th-January 14th. The difference is about 180.00 to go later. WOW ! Thats a big difference. IF we go we will be going to Munich first since his uncle might be going away after new years for business. So we shall see.

House hunting...Winchester, VA. Cute town. Pretty cheap for us, but not sure yet. The commute still has Robbie worried. But we shall see.

Ok thats it for tonight. Have some projects to work on.

The begining of September

Hey everyone!!!!
Well its the 3rd of September. So let me say this now HAPPY BIRTHDAY MINHEE!!!! (even if it is tomorrow but I'm posting today.)

Life is the same. Mom has been in Alaska for about 11 days now. She's home on Friday. Thankgod. I might kill my brother! He thinks just bc he drives my grandmother around for an hour that means he can go out for 8 hrs every night. I have gone to work for 8hrs a day, run home to sit down stairs in the living room till midnight watching my grandmother. I have had four hours of freedom this past weekend with Robbie and that was like pulling teeth from my brother to stay home. But I'm down Va for the weekend this weekend. I'm not even coming home Friday after work to see my mom. She can wait till Sunday. She has been having fun. Seen whales and other stuff. I'll have pics up later. But now I'm thinking I want to go to Alaska. :)

Work is the same. The one good thing is that Lourainne is gone!!!! She was the one back in May that almost got me fired. Wanda had left for her wedding and it was no secret Lourainne was waiting for the perfect time to get me. And she got her "possy" to help her. She's the one who had me go to downtown Hopkins, have two drug tests done, make me see a phycologist, and had me on probabtion for two weeks. Then told people about it at work. Now what ever happened to employee/manager confindentiality? Then denied it when I took it to the top of Hopkins HR deparment. Well long story short she had a nervous break down and had work release for about two weeks. I still talk to the last practice manager Jenn who told me that Lourainne had been job hunting. Well three days later she gave her notice. Guess stuff was getting to tough for her. And heres the kicker. Wanda said she was crying. She brought this upon herself. Nobody mad her discriminate against employees she was in charge of. Let alone gossip about stuff that she shouldnt have. Boo-who for you! Good luck. Everyone who has left under pressure hasnt had it that good afterwards. Steve the practice mananger before Jenn has gotten fired from two jobs since leaving. I WONDER WHY!!!! But thats another story. And all I know is her little daughter wont be safe anymore either :-D

Robbie news: Well we are back to house hunting. Again this is the worse thing in the world! We both hate it! But its something that needs to be done. Anyone want to give us a house for a gift I would apperciate it. We are looking for a 4bedroom 3.5 bath, finished basement, hardwood floors, Chase friendly yard, single family house! Move in ready! I dont think thats to much to ask. I have seen friends who live in a town house. With Robbie and I talking about marriage and kids in the next two years I fear a townhouse. Thanks to Amberly btw about showing me that and the cheap birthcontrol! Two kids thats it! :-) Love you girl! I had been planning a surprise bday party for Robbie when we go camping in two weeks however that feel through. Alot of his friends never responded to me. So I ended up telling him and he was shocked. So it might be Robbie, Kiki, Torey, and me. Or just the two of us. Oh well I tried. I have gotten to meet a few more of his friends other the Tray. I met Will one of his other childhood friend. I'm looking forward to meeting some more of them. Robbie and I are also planing a camping trip in October in Virgina beach and going to Hollowscream in Bushgardens. Let me know if you are intrested. You dont have to camp. It's just cheaper. :-) And with trying to save for a house and Germany, cheap is good. Depending on what it is of course.

Chase is doing fine. He went for a two hour walk this past Monday with us to Hapers Ferry. He loved it. But really tire the rest of the day.

Well thats all for now. More later this month. Remember tomorrow is Minhee's bday! And on the 25th it's Robbies! :-)

Loves and Huggs

weekly update

Hey everyone
Well lets see. My grandmother is out of the hospital after falling twice in one day last week. But shes still not up to full par. So we are waiting to see what else we can do. My mom leaves in 4days for Alaska. Got to love that 4:30am flight on Monday I have to drive her to. :) Work is the same bs. Tedra girl who I cant stand at work decide to see if she could micro-manage me. Well I found out bc getting my original computer back from when I had first started with the practice. I went on the desk top of the computer to clean off junk that I didnt need and saw a file named Tedra. So I opened it up and there were some word documents in there. Ok I'm nosy. But I had said before I believed she was out to get me. Which Hopkins said I was just being paranoid. So I clicked on a file named "Hmmmm". And up popped 16pages of my daily activties from the moment I walk in the door till the time I leave. Every minute of the day! Even when I went to lunch and went shopping and brought the bag in to work bc I didnt take my car that was in there! 16 PAGES!!!! Including if I txted, called a friend, checked my bank account. Everything. Time stamped and what I did. So I took it to Wanda this morning. She was shocked. And I believe that she didnt have anything to do with it. This is the pettiness I talk about all the time. Wanda said she didnt know about this nor asked her to do this. We have decided to leave it alone for now. Not confront her about it or anything . But I will keep my eyes open from now on. I feel like I commited some horrible crime and now being watched on probabtion. I had told the HR people in Hopkins I felt like someone was out to get me and they informed me that I was just paranoid. Hows this for proof!

Anywho, I'm gearing up for Robbies bday. :-) I'm excited about it. We are going camping for his bday. Even though some of his buddies never replied to my invite. So who comes, comes, who doesnt, doesnt. We will have fun regardless. :-) We also planning a few other camping trips by the end of October. Saving and also planning our trip to Germany.

Well have to go take care of Chase. More later!!!

Zales to Jared! He went to Jared!!!!!

I have had friend buy stuff from Zales and never had a problem with them. So my birthday Robbie bought me a Aquamarine pincess cut pendet. Which I love. Then for our 6month anniversery he gave me matching earings. I wore them on night down in Myrtle beach. Actually on the beach. Got up from watching the fire works. Checked my rings, my necklace, my earing in the cartledge, and got to the lobes. The earings werent there. On my left ear the only thing left was the small piece of white gold that goes through the ear. The right one was falling off as I stood up. There's a flaw in the earings. So we looked for the other one and couldnt find it. Luckly Robbie had insurance on it. So we took the earings (or pieces of them) back to Zales the sunday after I got back from the Keys. The first thing out of the sales woman's mouth was "So you bought the earings, broke them, then bought insurance. So youre creating fraud." Ok strike one. Then she told me there was nothing they could do with out the other half of the left earing. I said ok give me $289.00 and I'll be happy to go to the beach and dig in the sand for it. I said its a flaw in your design of the white gold. Then a guy sales person came over and said they would sell us another set of earings for half off. WTF! Um that would be a no. So after fighting about that they said they would just replace them. Fine. So I go to put them in the box to make sure they clasp close. The first one did...however the second one did not. I told the guy and he said "Oh no problem I'll bend the medal.". I said youll be the what. Umm you cant bend 14kt white gold. Its a weak gold at that level and it will break. Which I told him. So here we go again. Finally he refunded the earings and the money Robbie paid for the "insurance".

So we walked around Dulles Town Center to 4 other jewelery stores. We did find some at Shaws which we did like but it was on back order for 8wks. Possiblity. So we found a Jared outside of the mall. Lets just go see what they have. Went in and told the sales lady in the store about the earings from Zales. She showed us two pair of earings. Needless to say we did buy a pair. The insuarnce was alittle more expensive. However the insurance covers, the stone, the settings, the gold. The only thing is I have to take them in every Febuary and August for a check and cleaning. FINE BY ME! They even cleaned the necklace for me.

HE WENT TO JARED!
