Just call me Miss Demeanor


So I was sitting at a red light last night on my way back to work from my dinner break, when I got rear ended. Not very bad at all. I am fine and my car is fine. The girl didnt pull over though to make sure everything was fine so I got her info and called the cops. Officer Casey stopped by work to get all the info he needed. After he was done he asks me " is there anything you know about going on with your license?"

I had a speeding ticket not too long ago that I paid about a week and a half late because when I went to pay it on time with the rest of my bills, I had not put a stamp on it. Anyway I had been meaning to call the court house and see about late fees that I assumed I was going to have to pay. Apparently Whitman county doesnt fool around. They added the late fee, which they never sent me anything about, and when I hadnt paid it in ten days they suspended my license.

Thankfully Officer Casey was kind enough to not arrest me as it was a misdemeanor charge. He gave me strict instructions to absolutely not drive until I got it taken care of. I had Jacob come get me from work and he was kind enough to drive me to work today on his lunch break.

I called the courthouse and found they sent me to collections. You would think the collection agency would let you know they wanted money from you. Anyway I paid the late fee and now get to wait up to five business days for it to go from the collecion agency, to the courthouse, and then to the DMV. Fun stuff!!!

Not alot else is new. Artemis is doing great. She sleeps much longer if I let her sleep in bed with me. She starts out by my feet and I usually wake up with her on my head or across my neck. She is definitely part terrier. She jumps and hops like a little rabbit. Its so funny. We are working on teaching her to sit. Actually Jacob has done more work on this than I have. She is still not a yippy dog. She will bark outside at other dogs, or at the door when she hears the neighbors. She mostly barks at me when she wants my attention and I am not looking at her. She is spoiled and a mama's girl.

Jacob and I have been together for six months now. He is an amazing boyfriend. Work is the same ol stuff every day. At least I am still getting full time hours. Alot of the part time associates are only getting 14-20 hours a week. Its nice having a reliably sufficient paycheck every two weeks. Other than that nothing new. I miss my family. : (

yeah! I finally figured out how to upload pictures!





Jacob was so excited about the rock climbing gear I got him for his birthday he couldnt wait to try it out. He decided to climb the wall and hang from the loft in thier living room. When that wasnt quite good enough he then repelled from thier third floor balcony. He is such a boy.




these are the best pictures of her but I havent uploaded them all from my camera yet. she is full of attitude but a sweetheart too. her new name is Artemis....as in Artemis the goddess of the hunt. She loves to pounce and attack when you arent looking.

Puppy!!!

I got my puppy today! She is super cute. I drove all the way to Grandview, Washington to pick her up. It was a three hour drive. It was so hard to pick on of the three to take home. She doesnt have a name yet. She is really mellow and just loves to hang out on your lap. Jacob is the best boyfriend ever for getting me a puppy. other reasons too. More stuff for me to scrapbook!!

Snow Snow go away

We got another foot of snow last night somewhere between about midnight and 7 this morning. Jacob and I are snowed in until they plow the driveway. We both called in to work. It is such torture being snowbound together. heehee
