I am so freaking miserable! The Beau and I have been together for 7 years in December. We starting dating my Sophomore year of high school. We've been through thick and thin and always had each other around. We've never gone to bed without at least a quick phone call and a good night. And rarely ever more than a week without seeing each other. And thats only because he moved an hour and a half away a few months back. But we still talk all the time and text each other all the time.
Sunday morning I had to take him to the airport for a business trip to China. He wont be back until the 24th... :( I'm super excited for him and I know he's going to have fun and its going to be great for him to get to go and to suck up to the boss some. But I am freaking miserable!
His flight left at 8:40 yesterday morning and he didnt actually get into the apartment until around 1 this afternoon... I have been a nervous wreck since I dropped him off! I've gotten a few texts saying where he was and how he was doing and a quick phone call before he left Minneapolis but thats it. I've done nothing but mope around and cry! I am hoping that I get to talk to him on Skype before bed but I'm not sure :(
I dont know how I'm going to last 3 weeks! I need some ideas to keep myself busy :( I have a feeling I'm going to be eating a lot and doing nothing but sitting around on the internet if I'm not careful...
Maybe I can get the girls together for a girls night or something... I hope so
Home: Bristol, TN, United States
About Me: My name is Jordi and I'm currently looking to get certified as a pet trainer. I work with dogs on a daily basis and I adore all sorts of animals and right now have 2 cats that our mine and 2 that are my roommates. I love to bake and to cook even though I dont think I'm very good! I ADORE interior design and anything design related! I've been called a shoe whore on multiple occasions. And I do not go out of the house without looking decent.

I have in 1 month went from working 2 jobs being happy to having to not work currently and being miserable. I have also become very against the medical field. I'm sorry it should not take someone $150 to look at a CT scan report and say oh hey theres something here that shouldnt be... How does that equal to $150?? Maybe I should give up on this dog training and pet store dream and become a radiologist... Oh and I'm still waiting for the actual bill from the CT scan. Thats going to be around $2000. *sigh* oh well. Other than that I'm pretty okay now. Its weird knowing that I have something the size of a golf ball in my chest but oh well.
I'm trying to figure out how I can earn some extra money to pay for this crap. If you think of any fundraiser style ideas please let me know! I'm thinking I need to start an etsy shop...
I am however freaking out about The Beau leaving for China for 3 weeks. It scares me beyond belief to know I wont be able to text him or talk to him if I need to, and that we wont be able to spend a few weekends together. I also know I'm going to cry like a baby at the airport... :(
Not much else has been going on... just the usual amount of crazy. I'm hoping to keep up with this a little better now too! Hopefully...

I became an official member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) yesterday! I am super excited to be starting officially! I have a business plan worked out and cannot wait to get started. I will probably be starting a website for it this weekend! Right now I am learning a lot of training methods and will be taking some classes with Tila and working with another trainer before I take on any clients but I am doing something else in the mean time! I will be selling home made dog and cat treats, biscuits and cakes at some local places and possibly online! Needless to say I am super duper excited and cannot wait to actually get started!
So keep an eye out! Waggin' Tails may become a household name before long!

I have always been an animal lover. I was raised with an assortment of Great Danes, Poodles, Schnauzers, Cats, and more. I want to get into dog training in the very near future as a way to help those that feel that their dogs are the worst ever. And I plan on getting a great dane puppy within the next year! That I cannot wait for! Now to only get the Beau to agree to that!
During the past years I have acquired 2 cats:
Joey was in our flower bed after being tossed out at around 4 weeks old and he has been the sweetest cat ever! Unfortunately he is declawed and has had some very serious complications from it. He is also incredibly attached to the Beau and will wedge himself between me and the phone if I am talking to him. Joey is also trying to get used to being in a harness and on a leash so he can become a therapy pet and bring some joy into the lives of sick children, now if only he didnt want to kill the harness....
Kahlua we stole. She was our neighbors kitten that they got in late October when it was already getting pretty cold at night. Instead of keeping their new kitty inside they just left her outside to fend for herself. We took her in and have kept her ever since. And as for the neighbors, they came and asked once if we had seen a calico kitten, we told them no, afterall she is a tortie. They never put much effort in it and got another cat the next spring. Kahlua is not a fan of most people, she loves me and thats about it. She is also very persistent when it comes to petting and doesnt purr but makes an odd little bubblying noise that gets very loud!
There are also 2 other cats in the house. Keiko and Google. Keiko is the normalish one, Google is just a freak of nature that would need a whole post to himself to explain!
All in all our house can be a lot of entertainment with all of them being so freaky and crazy, but mostly it feels happy, well unless you count Keiko hating Google... Most people think we are crazy for having 4 cats. But we think its perfect!

Ever had one of those days when you look at the clock and realize its almost 4 and you are still in pajamas and havent accomplished much?
Today has been one of those...
I started off with good intentions, woke up at 8:30 with the Beau and fixed a quick breakfast of Apple Jacks, dont judge I was still sulking over the fact that he was stuck working on one of the 2 days he gets off He'll get a proper breakfast in the morning!
And after seeing him out the door instead of washing the dishes from dinner last night and now breakfast cartoons seemed like a better option. But I didnt want to waste the entire day so to the internet I have ventured and have searched for what to fix for dinner and still have no ideas what I'm making. Doesnt help that its 5:30 and still no word as to when the Beau will be getting off work.
Although I did bake a cake and 6 cupcakes (well there were 6, now there are 5) and managed to hurt myself opening a thing of baking cups.
How you may ask? Well, trying to open then may thumb slipped and jabbed into my pointer finger and slashed it open. How odd is that?
Although now I think I have decided on Lobster Alfredo for dinner and I should run out and get what I need for that!
