Saturday 9: Leaving on a Jet Plane
1. When was the last time you jetted away for the holidays? Does jetting away count flying to see family? If so, I have every year for the last 7 years or so. In general its always before or after Christmas though ... cheaper flights and/or easier flights to get on.
2. What is your fondest birthday memory? Uhmmmmm.. wow. My memory isn't so great. However, based off of pictures, I had a birthday several years ago when a bunch of friends came over to my parents house and celebrated with me. I don't really remember it .. but I've no doubt it was a good time. :)

4. What do you look forward to most in the next six weeks? Seeing my Mom, Christmas, starting my new job.

6. Have you ever had a scary stalker type? Yep, not a pleasant experience. At all.
7. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Hmmm, I have a couple, but I love my families pajama tradition. Every year one of us picks out pajamas for the other girls. We open them on Christmas Eve and wear them that night and the following morning.
8. What are two activities you do after eating Thanksgiving Dinner? Nothing that is super typical ... this year though I took a nice nap and then went to a friends house for desserts and movies.
9. What did your family do for Thanksgiving when you were a kid? Do you still do it? If not explain why. Eat a LOT. hahaha. And yup, I still do it!

Silly people, you have poo on your head...
... or so they should ... hehehe. So, I was informed today by a friend-type-person that she thought that Sean and I had broken up. When I asked her where she had heard that from, she couldn't remember. (though I have a sneaky thought that she does rememberrrrrrrrr) I have a few ideas on where she might have heard a rumor started, but I left it alone after telling her that the information was far from the truth. To be honest, I truly cannot remember the last time I was so content and happy. Truly, completely, through and through, HAPPY. :) :) :) I really believe that the love Sean and I share is completely different than any other we've both experienced. He and I both have mentioned this a few different times. Life is good. :)
I might as well give a couple brief updates since I'm actually writing. :)
The biggest change in my life is I'm no longer working for SunLife; much to my disappointment. I had worked for the company just over 6 years. Long story short is I screwed up and had to chose between moving back to Boston or resigning. After a few days of thought, I resigned. I have no desire to move back to Boston. I don't like the weather (to much snow!), I'm not a big fan of the city, overall people just seem more rude. The two things I would've gone back for are my dear friends in the area and the job. In Florida I have other good friends, weather I like MUCH more, Sean (though he would've moved to Boston with me if that was our decision), Sean's family, and horses. Horses Horses Horses! :) They've been nonstop in my life since moving down here and it's not something I ever want to give up. I gave my resignation, they gave me 4 weeks severance, and I went out on the job hunt. I'm very happy and thrilled to say that I got another job offer and start on December 7th. I had to take quite a bit of a paycut, but I feel so incredibly blessed that I found another position so quickly. I'll be doing the same kind of work as a Claims Examiner and learning a new kind of business that involves Medicaid and Medicare as well as Short-Term Disability.
Another change and an exciting one for Sean and I is the newest horse in my life. She's a 3 year old mare and her registered name is "TR's Bright Showydream" and she's an appaloosa. We're currently working on finding her a daily pet name. It's currently Suzie, but no one is a big fan of that. We thought we were going to use Sage, but when she got delivered yesterday we felt it just didn't fit her. She's being kept at the barn, "Three Arrows Ranch" that I've spent time at since moving out here. A woman named Patty owns the place and has become a great friend. The barn only holds about 14 horses, so it never get's insanely overrun which is nice. For those who know horses and are reading this and might want to look up her Sire and Dam; her Dam is "Bright She Might" and her Sire is "Stylish Dream". Dream Finder is fairly well known and comes from some high-end champions so we're excited to have her. Currently she still belongs to Triange Ranch, but we're hoping by the end of next year she'll officially belong to us. It all depends on how things go.
Anyhow, that's about it for now. Sean has a friend coming to spend a few days with us for Thanksgiving and he should be here just about any moment.
Happy Thanksgiving (1 day early) Everyone!

Multiple Daily Meme's!?!?! Could it be true?!?!
I found a website that has multiple daily meme's listed that you can go to and participate in. MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!! Now on the days that my standard ones just aren't my cup of tea, I can find others. Or.. Ooo Ooo!! .. I can do multiple meme's in one day! Oh the possibilities!
Ok. Anyway. If you feel like getting involved in a billion types of meme's this is the link. http://thedailymeme.com/
The first meme I found for Monday is, "Give Me Five", each week a question or comment is made that you then list five things for. So.. this was the one for this week, very appropriate for Thanksgiving week of course:
Give Me Five reasons you can be thankful this year:
1) I'm thankful that my family is healthy and all doing relatively well.
2) I'm thankful that I found Sean, he really is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
3) I'm thankful that I was able to find a new job quickly.
4) I'm thankful for Suzie (soon to be renamed), the sweet appaloosa mare that is now in my life.
5) I'm thankful for my family and friends who love and support me.
Another Monday Meme I found is called Question of the Week, or QOTW. This was the question they posed:
Would you rather work outside with your hands, or inside at a desk job?
I would most definitely prefer to work outside with my hands. All of my life I've pretty much done desk jobs, however, my dream job would be making a living working with horses. Horses are hobby and it brings me minor income at times, but oh if it could be a profession....... life would be grand.

Sunday Stealing - The Party Mummy Meme
Doing these questionnaires seem to be my thing recently. One of these days I'm going to actually write an update on life as well - until then - those who follow my blog, just know that life is good. :)
No clue why they named this meme what they did. Odd.
1. Name someone with the same birthday as you. Sarah, same date right down to the year. She's my birthday twin. :)
2. Where was your first kiss? Honestly I don't remember for the life of me. My first memorable kiss was in this little wooded area by my family's home.
3. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex? If yes, why? Errrm.. Yes. We'll just leave it at yes I have.
4. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people? When? Yep, a few times. Kareoke most recently.
5. What's the first thing you notice about your preferred sex? Height, body type, eyes.
6. What really turns you off? Someone being rude.
7. What is your biggest mistake? Ehh... some interesting personal questions in this aren't there. Biggest mistake - staying in an abusive relationship way to long.
8. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose? Good gawd! Really?! Bleh. Whatever. Yeah a long time ago.
9. Say something totally random about yourself. I want a cookie. A chocolate chip one.

13. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you? Hmmm... goodness. I've had a few romantic things in my past, it's not fair to pick just one.
14. When do you know it's love? I think this is something that everyone has to answer individually to themselves. I don't know how to explain it in depth. Though that might be because it's early morning and I haven't had coffee yet. lol. All I can say is you just know. It's when you feel something you've never experienced before. The feeling when it comes is perfect.
15. What's something that really annoys you? hahaha.. love and then right over to annoyance. Rude and dishonest people annoy me.

Meme for Monday and other stuff
Why is the Manic Monday Meme always so short? I think that it's supposed to inspire longer and more creative writing, but I've got to say, after going through a mind numbing, exhausting, not wanting to be there because it's Monday workday -- the furthest thing from my mind is writing my intellectual <--(I'm so spelling that wrong) thoughts on something. (just saying...)
Even so, here we go:
Do you read an actual print newspaper? If so, how often? Nope.
What is your main source of news? I get CNN updates in my work email, I see the headlines on the front page of Yahoo, and once in awhile I watch a portion of the evening news on TV.
Do you believe that it's possible for the media to be unbiased? No. I think it's possible that a person can write an article from an unbiased standpoint. However, verbally, visually, and personally on the inside I don't believe a person reporting on the news is going to be unbiased.
------------------------------
On another note. Life seems to be going pretty darned good. Random lists of updates.
-Dave and I are offically divorced.
-Sean and I are living together and talking about our futures a lot. I'm happy. I'm excited for him to come home every day. I can't get enough time with him. He expresses the same feelings constantly and I love it. We're both aware that the giddy twitterpatted stage doesn't last forever ..... but the happiness and love ... I don't feel like that will overall ever fade. We're seriously like two teenagers a lot of the time and I can't even begin to say how much fun it is to have someone that has a goofy silly personality so insanely similar to mine. I think he might even be weirder than me sometimes. I love it.
-I'm currently working with a new horse named Suzie. Funny, I've said I don't like appaloosa's and I don't prefer mares. She's both. AND .. she's amazing. Sean loves her and treats her like a pet dog. It's adorable. He gave her a treat a couple days ago and told her to "sit", like he was talking to a dog. I crap you not. "Sit!". It's hysterical. I love it. I love him. I love them. :) She's for sale and I so wish we could purchase her. She's 3 yrs old and has a lot of potential.
-I was riding a horse named Red for about a week. She also was a mare. (weird). Except she was a thoroughbred. WOOT! She's definitely for an experienced rider, but she was oh so sweet. Unforunately she was not treated well for several months and is now on stall rest for several months. Long story short, she was given away to someone else today and I couldn't be happier. Her current owner was not physically abusing her, but by not taking care of her was inflicting abuse.
-Today I let my Mom know that Sean and I were living together. Ugh. Ouch. I hate hurting her and making her sad ... and it did. However, I hate lying to her even more. She'll adjust and she'll be okay, we just have very strong different view points on this matter. I love her dearly and she's one of my best friends; we'll work through this too.
Oooooooooooooo.. Sean just texted me he's going to make Top Ramen when he gets home from work and he's not sharing. I've got a wicked craving now. I'm so making my own. Muahaha.
Even so, here we go:
Do you read an actual print newspaper? If so, how often? Nope.
What is your main source of news? I get CNN updates in my work email, I see the headlines on the front page of Yahoo, and once in awhile I watch a portion of the evening news on TV.
Do you believe that it's possible for the media to be unbiased? No. I think it's possible that a person can write an article from an unbiased standpoint. However, verbally, visually, and personally on the inside I don't believe a person reporting on the news is going to be unbiased.
------------------------------
On another note. Life seems to be going pretty darned good. Random lists of updates.
-Dave and I are offically divorced.
-Sean and I are living together and talking about our futures a lot. I'm happy. I'm excited for him to come home every day. I can't get enough time with him. He expresses the same feelings constantly and I love it. We're both aware that the giddy twitterpatted stage doesn't last forever ..... but the happiness and love ... I don't feel like that will overall ever fade. We're seriously like two teenagers a lot of the time and I can't even begin to say how much fun it is to have someone that has a goofy silly personality so insanely similar to mine. I think he might even be weirder than me sometimes.
-I'm currently working with a new horse named Suzie. Funny, I've said I don't like appaloosa's and I don't prefer mares. She's both. AND .. she's amazing. Sean loves her and treats her like a pet dog. It's adorable. He gave her a treat a couple days ago and told her to "sit", like he was talking to a dog. I crap you not. "Sit!". It's hysterical. I love it. I love him. I love them. :) She's for sale and I so wish we could purchase her. She's 3 yrs old and has a lot of potential.
-I was riding a horse named Red for about a week. She also was a mare. (weird). Except she was a thoroughbred. WOOT! She's definitely for an experienced rider, but she was oh so sweet. Unforunately she was not treated well for several months and is now on stall rest for several months. Long story short, she was given away to someone else today and I couldn't be happier. Her current owner was not physically abusing her, but by not taking care of her was inflicting abuse.
-Today I let my Mom know that Sean and I were living together. Ugh. Ouch. I hate hurting her and making her sad ... and it did. However, I hate lying to her even more. She'll adjust and she'll be okay, we just have very strong different view points on this matter. I love her dearly and she's one of my best friends; we'll work through this too.
Oooooooooooooo.. Sean just texted me he's going to make Top Ramen when he gets home from work and he's not sharing. I've got a wicked craving now. I'm so making my own. Muahaha.
