I've been distracted

I know I have been bad about posting lately. I have been distracked. I have barely even checked my email lately, but I have not cut back anytime with my friends, which I am thankful for. The last thing I want to do is make my new boyfriend my world and not leave any time for my friends. The great thing about my boyfriend is that he actually encourages me to spend time with my friends. Someday I will have him meet my friends, which I must admit makes me a little nervous. The last time I introduced a boyfriend to the group it was not a very good thing, but my new man is more like us so it shouldn't be a problem. Still, it is worse than introducing a boyfriend to the family in some ways. Mostly because there are so many of us and so many different personalities and everyone means so much to me and their opinions matter to me. So like I said, a little more nervous about him meeting my friends than my family.

So anyway, what has been going on...it was wonderful to see Mr. and Mrs. Poni. They are both such wonderful people, I am glad that I got to spend time with them. I had fun gaming with them and will probably be joining the regular game. Yes, I am a nerd.

Jennie's party was so much fun. Great times, great food, loved seeing everyone, catching up and reliving old times. Seeing Jennie was of course the highlight of the week. We have kept in touch, but due to living on different coasts for the past 2 years it had been sooo long since we had actually seen each other. I even got to see the dress. I must say, she looks gorgous in it. I truly felt honored that I got to be a part of the fitting. I am extremely grateful that our friendship has remained strong through the years and the distance.

I had Easter lunch (due to my work schedule we ate at like 1:30) with my family. My father came over and my brother and his girlfriend came up from Lincoln. It was very nice. My brother's girlfriend is sweet, I really liked her. There is still a lot of distance between me and my brother, but at least there is no tension. I guess it will just take time.

Wednesday night I went down to Lincoln to have dinner at my boyfriend's mother's house. It went really well. She is a very nice lady and parents usually like me. At least they seem to.

Since then I have been watching a lot of movies with 1031 and the T. First was Pirates, which is a very high budget porn. It was great. The whole thing. :) I didn't know you could use a burning candle like that. All I can say is I love being a pirate. The next day I went to Silent Hill with the boys. It was a good movie, probably would have liked it more if I ever played the video game. Still, it was cool. I really liked it. Tonight I watched Final Fantasy VII with the boys over at Rose and Roberts. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Since I don't play video games I thought that I would not really like movies based on video games, but these two at least were very well done.

My mother got a puppy yesterday. I found this out when I got home at like 2am last night and there was a kennel by the door that started to bark at me. She has wanted a puppy for some time now, but I kind of think that the fact that her dog likes me more than she likes her made her want a new puppy to love her even more now. Oh well, now I have another animal to play with. No complaints here.

I am now thinking of going back to school to become a veterinary technician. I really love working with animals, I wanted to be a vet growing up, but I am allergic to just about all animals so I desided against pursuing it years ago. Now, my allergies don't seem as bad, and it is what I really want to do, so I figure why not? I still have a lot of research to do in cost and schedules to see if it is really possibly. It may be a little difficult, but with some effort I am sure I could make it work.

So, that should cover everything that I have been up to in the last like 2 weeks. I will try to keep up with posting at least once a week, but I am trying to spend less time on the computer and more time doing things that are more productive. Hopefully I will start reading more soon. I was doing so well in California, but I had fewer friends out there so it was easier to read. I also got longer breaks at work, so there is like almost an hour of reading time a day right there that I am not getting. I should really try to get in the habit of reading at least a chapter before bed. At least it would be something.
