Ashley

I PET LARRY TODAY. And he LOVED it. I was so giddy I could barely keep my noises to myself and was almost brought to tears. He was playing with my glove, while it was on my hand, and noticed the button on my sleeve and worked his way to that. I started to lightly scratch his chest while he chewed on my sleeve. Then he stopped chewing and sat down so he could fully enjoy the scratching. He let me scratch his sides, the top of his head, and he loved having his ears rubbed/scratched. He even laid his head down on my leg while I rubbed his ears.
THAT is the best feeling in the world.

I am so thirsty but nothing tastes good. I hate being sick. I have the flu now. I can't remember what it feels like to feel well/healthy. I haven't had a flu this bad since elementary school. I can't remember the last time my symptoms included diarrhea and vomiting. I was so dehydrated yesterday my eyes were all sunken in and I was a complete mess that couldn't keep anything inside of me. I was about 2 seconds away from telling my mom to take me to the hospital. The only thing that stopped me was the IV I would have to get.
And now I feel hungry but nothing sounds good except something that would quench my thirst but that thing does not exist on this planet.

I got a call on saturday from Katherine "There was an incident". Mo was killed by the dogs in the stall next to ours. The rodeo was in town and the cowboys were setting off fireworks RIGHT outside the stalls and I think it spooked the dogs. The dogs next door, Brownie and Bluff, freaked out and pulled Mo's hind leg through a break between the boards. They ripped a board away from the wall trying to drag my dog into their stall. They gnawed on his leg for god knows how long and he was found dead by the feeders and cleaners the next morning.
I am so upset I don't know what to do. And I'm stuck at home with the flu and can't go visit my other two boys today. Mo would have been the BEST dog. Everytime I came to the stall he would bounce up and down on his four legs and wag his tail. UGH It's not fair. It's not right. This could have been prevented. If someone had BEEN THERE they would have heard my dogs freaking out. I'm sure the cowboys heard it and thought nothing of it. I'm so devasted and heartbroken. :(
I never got to say good-bye. The county wouldn't allow it. I miss him so much.

It's my birthday soon!!
Christmas party on sunday. I'm taking Katie as my date since Troy will be with rachel. Luckily I have a date because a coworker noticed I had one but still felt the need to mention that he was going to ask me to be his date. keep in mind he has a girlfriend/possible fiance and still flirts with me and constantly checks me out. and it's not just me getting the impression that he wants to sleep with me. another coworker liked to remind me of it constantly. kind of creepy.
crazy snow storm here this morning. luckily i was in my hair appt. the whole time. then I get a text asking if I could do porter tonight. meaning set up meeting rooms, shovel snow and drive a van along an icy road with barely two lanes on the way to and from the airport. I chose to ignore the text. you know sometimes you just have to be a little selfish and think of yourself. I don't do think I do it enough.
I met the man of my dreams last night. his name is pickles. he's a huge turtle from butte and I must get one for myself.
I also tried chocolate covered cinnamon bears and my life is now based around this new candy. best munchie ever!! combination of my two favorite things in life. mostly just cinnamon bears.

Today was a good day. it felt like my birthday. got my hair cut, eyebrows waxed, oil changed which means a free car wash, katie treated me to sushi and I got new books! good day.

So the friend who had me star (a girl can dream haha) in his short film is entering in the dorito contest for the super bowl. His commercial is really funny! you should watch it and click on the heart on the lefthandside under the film. and then leave a comment!!!

you'll need to join the internet site but there are actually some really cool videos to watch, sort of like youtube but it's more for people with talent. you probably won't find someone filming their sleeping cat for 10 minutes. haha unless you're into that thing.

you should use this search engine powered by yahoo. for every search entry $.01 is donated to a charity. specifically the Carribean Conservation Corporation which is dedicated to ensuring the survival of sea turtles.
okay, that's all.

It's so fucking cold here right now. I need to start wearing underarmor under my jeans. My ass and legs were completely numb by the time I got to class this morning in the -10 degree weather. If you breathe in too deeply your lungs reject the air and you have a coughing fit.
It's my birthday in 19 days! so that means I come home in 21 days. I can't wait.
If all goes well with finals and last papers I will hopefully get 3 A's and 1 B this semester. This would be my dream come true. I have to get mostly A's to get into nursing school. So obviously I'm working my ass off on the last assignments.
I've eaten spaghetti for lunch/dinner for the past few days. I've had it 5 times in a row. hahaha I'm turning into a noodle.

True story. Only in Montana..After following us and checking us out in target for a half an hour, 4 high school boys threw a deer leg at us. all 4 boys are now banned from target.
I've cut back on smoking and I'm so much happier now.
I'm so fucking pissed off. thanks to stupid GSR employees I am not longer allowed to do hw at the front desk. i can't read textbooks up here anymore. so I'm going to give them two options. either I remain at the front desk for 8 hours with a textbook or I sit in the back office with a bell at the front desk so I can do my homework. this is fucking bullshit. being able to do hw is the reason I got this job.

I think tonight is going to be trouble. We are trouble.

I hate it when I don't understand why someone did something or said something. something that was just so fuuucked up that you just ponder over the issue for a long time until you can't take it anymore and take out the spy kit which never works, but it's fun in the process, and then you just end up asking someone who might know, just secretly questioning them while trying to act casual, but will the news be good or bad? and then you wonder if you should even has the person. haha and tomorrow night is the night

I decided what I'm going to be for halloween...A DEVIL! haha I know. original. katie is going to be an angel and we're going to be rachels conscience! haha you have to admit it's funny...

December 20th.
Ashley's Celebration of her 21st
Bend, Oregon

I am coming home December 20-28!!

What/who are you being for halloween?!

Rachels birthday is on halloween so I need a fantastic costume.

Here are my ideas....Margot Tenenbaum. stripped polo dress, fur jacket, fake finger, lots of eye makeup, cigarette in hand, stick straight hair with a barette. Although I would be by myself and I'd really like someone to dress up with me but people aren't that cool in bozeman... 

OR the crazy cat lady from the simpsons. pink/purple attire. cat attached to my shoulder. bag full of stuffed cats i can chuck at people. mumble and yell all night. crazy hair that sticks out everywhere. hahaha it would be hilarious because it's me in 35 years (according to zeke). 



I'm thinking margot because the joy of halloween for college girls is dressing like a skank. and I'll be attending a costume party at the R bar so I'll really look crazy next to them. and my roommate is wearing super short shorts and a shirt tied up so I'll look fantastic next to her..haha I'll really pick up lots of guys. although why would i want to pick up the kind of guys who would talk to me while I'm looking like a skank.

For the girls who own frye boots.
Have you spilled beer or anything on yours?! if so how did you get it off?? I'm freaking out because it was my second time wearing them.

guys like to bitch about girls when in reality guys are the fuckers. some just never grow up.

I just got to Bend last night and I'm here for two weeks!

Okay. Both of my roommates are gone august 22-27. come visit.

Would anyone like to have a garage sale with me this saturday august 5th?
my parents are letting me keep the money if I actually do it. And I should probably make at least a little bit of money while I'm home!

someone should come visit me around august 18-22. both of my roommates will be gone!
