What's new

Well, another weekend weekend gone; Another Labor Day survived in Auburn.

I quit my job last Tuesday. I actually did it. I dreamt about how I would do it and what I would say so often that when it actually came time to do it, I was nervous, and it seemed so surreal. I handled myself very well and I was proud of myself for the whole thing.

I quit Tuesday and started my new job on Wednesday. I am busy all day long! Who would have thought that a job as a secretary would be so much more demanding than that of a sales person? I am not concerned about the pay cut really since Jake was just given a promotion and a raise, but secretaries should really have a better paying salary for all that they have to do!! I do love the new job though, all of the people there are really nice.

The only thing that I don't enjoy about the new job is that I have absolutely no time for blogging! The last time I blogged was on the 22nd of August, and then it was nothing more than just a few pictures of things that we have done to the house. (Speaking of which, we have done quite a bit since then, stay tuned for more photos!) Now, it is not just my fault that I have not been blogging lately. This blog has a sister blog, one that was started by a friend. We started these blogs to keep an online journal together, (which is much easier than in our high school days when we passed a notebook back and forth between us, let me tell you!). Anyhow, we take turns picking a topic and blogging about it...lately someone has been slacking when it comes to hers. You know how things are, it's always easier to blame your laziness on someone else.

So what else has been going on since last I wrote...

Jake was diagnosed with bronchitis and missed a whole week of work.

Grandpa Doty is back in the hospital, (I am not sure why). When he gets out of the hospital he and Grandma are planning a move to Auburn.

Peanut got fleas, and then they went away.

We started looking for another house.

I got a haircut.

I drank an entire pot of coffee in about 3 hours and was accused of being pregnant.

Jake told me that if I were pregnant he would be excited.

My sister called me...to see what I was up to...

Jake and Sam started talking again. (Sam changed the brakes on Jake's truck and Jake loaned Sam his ID for the weekend...whatever works for them I guess).

I joined a quit smoking program, (and when I was on the phone with my quitting coach I couldn't resist the urge to light up).

I spent a whole afternoon going to garage sales and the craft show with Lana and I really enjoyed myself.

I bought a really old picture of a family living in the old West standing in front of their house with a goat standing on the roof. (I thought it was a really old picture, turns out it was a post card someone had sent from their vacation out west. The old man just put it in a frame and told Lana it was his ancestors. I paid $3 for a used post card in a frame...but it was worth it because the picture is hilarious!)


Jake bought me a cedar chest at a garage sale for $20! (He's been supposed to make me one for 3 years...)

Well, I think that is about it. I think I am going to go join Jake on the couch for a little History Chanel therapy, there's a special on about the real-life Dracula, Vlad the Impaler.
