I can hear ryan creaking and talking upstairs..i bet he's having a nightmare..i'm glad i'm not up there right now because that is usually when his hands fly around and i get wacked in the face..usually..i'd just be annoyed..but tonight..i would have just killed him if it happened..

i got my wisdom teeth out on saturday..i'm all fat faced and in pain..i've never had a toothache trigger a migraine..for 4 days straight..someone please tell me there is an end to this..the only upside is that i'm losing weight..rather unheathily though..

sooo..update on life..

ryan and i are still together..still doing really good..he sent flowers to our house today while he was at work cuz i've been upset about this whole mouth procedure thing..of course we have our spats..but it feels like we are working toward a common goal now..

we bought a townhouse in squamish and moved in dec 1st...kinda nutty..23 and a mortgage..i still feel like we're growing up too fast..but its an investment..and hopefully real estate will continue to boom through 2010 and we can sell and make a huge profit and travel or we can rent out the place and travel...either way..we're gonna to traveling and i'm super excited that he's finally excited about it too..

i'm totally outta shape and need to exercise..riding is great but i don't get up on the mountain enough..especially cuz when i think whistler..i think work..and i dont enjoy commuting up there with the tourist traffic..its so crazy busy...i need to beg for a weekday off so there's no line ups..

work is good..still at the westin..i work in the sales dept now since december so that good..2 promos before i have even been there for a year..and i also got the associate of the year award..which means a glass plaque and a framed certificate but also $1000.00 cheque and 5 nights free at any starwood property in north america and mexico plus airfare for two!! SOOO excited about that!! we're thinking of taking off for 2 weeks to take full advantage of the free airfare and stay at other places while in the area..Any suggestions on where to go??

bunnee is doing great..i think we need to neuter him..he's doing this pee spraying thing which is kinda gross..but he's super affectionate now and makes little noises..such a handsome fellow..

chubbee is good..his allergies still get the best of him but he's healthy which is all we care about...cookee is great..i thought we nearly lost her during xmas because she had liver failure but she's good and well...blindcat had liver failure as well but it was way worse and we had to put her down during the xmas season..it was hard..we may have only had her for 6 months but she was like our own...

we have a new dog now as well, yoshi..pure bred shiba inu..super cute but super sketchy..i think his last owner's mom didn't treat him too good so we have to be super gentle with him..he loves chubbee although the two fight sometimes..two boys in the house..poor chubbs just isn't use to it yet...

i have not had cable a my house for over 2 months but that is ok..because andy lent me the office..which i am obsessed with now..and ryan and i watched that all and now we've moved onto lost..who needs new shows when there's millions of shows i still need to watch..when will this writer's strike be over?

i went to new york in november and had a fantabulous time..i watched spring awakening, chicago, avenue q, wicked, lion king, a chorus line, hairspray, the little mermaid and something else but i don't remember...then the stagehand strike happened and i wasn't able to complete my list of musicals to watch...i did all the touristy stuff like go on a boat to the statue of liberty and go up the empire state building and go to the wtc memorial and walk/get lost through central park...its such a crazy city..i loved it..i ate at sooo many good restuarants and spent more money on lunches then i ever have..it was nice to have a vacation to myself..my cousin lived there so free accommodations and she showed me around which was nice..definitely a good time..

my mouth is starting to ache again so its time for meds and bedtime..

cheers,
jen

feeling old..

i can't even remember the last time i wrote in here..

so job...i work at the westin resort and spa in whistler..got hired as a res agent and then got promoted within a month to group res coordinator..now they are looking to train me for res manager..its all moving really fast..and i'm handling it well..but at teh same time..i don't believe this is the direction i'm looking to go into..but then i think..more money and more experience so it can't hurt..plus the people i work with are great..so that makes it better..

one thing i'm starting to not like is the commute..about 1.5-2 hrs a day..the drive is beautiful and there have been bear sightings along the hwyside lately..but it costs so much for gas..its tiring to do after a long day at work..there are many idiotic drivers on this hwy..and i really don't wanna total another car on this highway..

i miss working with whistler eco tours who would love me back but i told them i would work with them when they got really busy and as long as i don't burn out..when the new resort opens in squish..i may apply and see what they can offer me..

so living with ryan for nearly 6 months now..its been going good..had our one year last weekend and had a free night stay with free dinner and breakfast in bed at the westin which turned into a great weekend..i got a tan..i got burnt..we went to the 4by4 rally and ryan is excited to have me race in it next year..driving his truck freaks me out..its just so tall..its different..he wants me to try driving some of hte trail tomorrow when we go up to hut lake..we'll see how brave i'm feeling..

we have our spats but we're doing good..but sometimes i feel like we're growing up too fast...joint bank accounts..looking into what we can get for a mortgage..looking at buying places...i wanna travel so badly but i don't wanna miss out on investing in a place that will definitely go up in a few years..i dunno..we'll see what happens..

we have a roommate..todd..he's a fun guy..and really chill so it works..

bunnee..the cutest bunny in the world..is currently running around the living room..he bit up one of the speaker wires and ryan got mad..but he's just a bunny..i miss my pets..chubbee and cookee are currently hosting two other dogs at our house this weekend cuz we're petsitting..4 dogs, 2 bunnies, and 1 kitty at my house..thank god mom is in hong kong or else she would freak..

that is basically my life...work and sleep..and eat of course..i eat like a pig..literally..finishing large pizzas by myself..haha..but its ok..somehow my body will need to deal with it..speaking of food..i am hungry..

anyone coming up to squish..do come visit me..=)

2nd week into the new job..

Current Mood: curious

still jobless

I'm having a super hard time with job hunting and i've done what i really did not wanna do..i've started applying to whistler for jobs..then i look outside at the snowy highway today and try to imagine what it looks like towards the new section and brandywine..and think..fuck..i would SO be afraid to drive up there..even with my superb winter tires..now if only my car was 4wd...

so..been sitting at home being unproductive for the past month..leaving all the bills to the boy...the poor boy..he says if i don't wanna work he'll get a second job..something he says he wouldn't mind doing and something i would hate him doing..i have too much pride to live off someone else..

talked to baby this morning..(UR FINALLY HOME!!)..so proud of that girl and can't wait to see her..she gave me some encouragement and said it'll come and keep trying..so thats wut i gotta do..i know a lot of people go thru these ruts sometimes..it just really sucks..cuz you go to school expecting something outta it but in the end..it doesn't really help at all...everything i'm applying for right now..i'm sure i coulda applied for and gotten without my recent education..but i don't regret it either..i don't think..

my friends are moving away..ari's moving to victoria for a front desk job she got at a super pretty hotel..sarah's moving back to whis for work..at least diana's still here...is it bad that i keep thinking that i only have to be here for a year...that i can save up money and go travelling in a year..i'm gonna do the one year work visa oz thing...maybe hop around depending on how much $$ i have...one year...to save money...

i'm hungry..i'm gonna go make myself a grilled soy cheese sandwich..(SOOOOO GOOD!!)..hopefully get an interview soon and have time to go riding this weekend..would be a good stress relief..
