Okay, okay!  So I promised a real update!

Life has been pretty crazy, I dunno if it's good or bad sometimes!

I'm training another class for ATS, it's Worldspan, and I'm really having a blast with this bunch.  It's a lot of fun!  Joey's back in my class, and he's fun too.  I enjoy his sense of humor.

A little bit more difficult is balancing my workload, along with what the supervisors and my bosses need of me.  Training takes up 8 hours, which only leaves 1/2 hour to get stuff done.  I haven't been sending my end of shift for training because.. I just run out of time.
 

Need to stop doing that!

Anyway!  Looking to get another housemate, I hope it's Tink :D  I'd love to have someone living next door that we actually felt *comfortable* having there!

Work is DRAMALLAMAs like usual.  I just want to stay away from that stuff myself :p  Going to try and write more in this journal (IF I DON'T GET MOCKED!)  

It's almost October OMG!  

i want to dress up this year.  I wonder.. as what.
 

Zebra shark!  My fav from the sharks at PPG

So!  Went to the zoo today with countershade  and it was AWESOME!  Started out not sure if we were going to go or not, but brief talking resulted in the agreement that zoo = win.

So we made a pitstop at the store for tanktops for countershade  and necessary things for me.  Got there WIITHOUT GETTING LOST!  And proceeded to have a great time even though the zoo was PACKED (Saturdays in summer will do that for you).
 

But, since she had the brilliant idea to do it backwards, we only had to squeeze ourselves through crowds of people a couple times and didn't have to worry about hecka long lines.  Highlights of the day include

* Sandtiger sharks close enough to touch
* Polar bear diving into the water to roll around with a giant floating toy and toss it in the air and play
* Sea lion baby and sea lions barking and wrestling with one another
*Coolest shark I've ever seen that I don't know the name of (Yet!)
*Poison dart frogs
*Watching a zoo visitor pet the penguins
*Watching an adult correct their child for being rude to little people "They're no different from you", a win for parenting!
*Polar bear necklace!


The only not highlights of the day were:

*Large crowds and strollers that will NOT get out of your way
*Mr Monkey having fun jerking one ( next time, I will not look where countershade  points with that look on her face!)

Then, we headed home.  Did NOT get lost, and had entirely too much sushi, and had a waiter that was flirting so much with countershade  that he offered/gave us sake, and didn't charge us for it o.o;;

Saw a rainbow on the way home too!
 

Yeah, you  .  I'm sure I don't say it often enough, but I love you. <3

You are the center of my world, and everything that I find good about it.

Okay, as I have been reminded we have been back from vacation for *almost* a week, and I have not yet posted here.  So!  Here I am, countershade  <3

I got second degree burns on my shoulders because, apparently, I *am* an idiot.  No reapplying after swimming around in the water like a demented porpoise.   They are much better now though, they look ugly still and are shiny and peeling at the same time, but the hurt is much less :D

Had a fantastic time, AND!  coming back, the boss-lady that I work next to said that she was telling her (very) talented potter husband about the things that I make out of paper.

And he wonders if I would be interested in TRADING.

OMG!

So.  But.  Yes.  Awesome.  Off work today (weekend, yay!) and eating waffles made with love and batter by countershade  because she loves me <3

No more typing because I have more to eat, and I don't want to get syrup on the keyboard.  Bye!
 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!  OMGHJIPHIOHUOG!  Beach!!!  Beach this time tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dreamed about being two hours late for the class that I had to teach today.  Urgh.  Although, even in the dream, I kept being reminded "Just two more days" until vacation!

The drama of our drier.

Works for a while, breaks.  Gets fixed, works for 20 mins, breaks

FAILS TO WORK.
 

Get given a new one!  Wrong plug! :(  Have countershade 's father switch the plugs, it turns on!  

Doesn't heat.

He comes BACK, and finds our fuses... fused.

Wow.  Fixed that, drier works now!  Yay!
 

-yawns- Hello LJ. Sorry I'm late, but I seem to have the strangest dreams lately. It means I never feel RESTED because I'm too busy while dreaming.

Damn you dreams..

Anyway. This one involved the Fae, a spider and a hamster, the sun and moon taking the same lover and quite a bit of running and hiding and quick talking.

And now that I'm awake, I feel the need to be creative. countershade  is at work while I'm at home today, so it's either begging for writing or some art project.

Hmmm.

I'll get back to you on that when I decide.

Here I am :D

Have your seat belts fastened, and visas ready! We're in for a bumpy ride.
