I guess my boyfriend was craving Raisin Bran Crunch this week?

I wanna know, If you're thinking of me
So I decided I wanted to start blogging again, but I don't really feel like blogging about my non-existent diet @ My Food Blog, so that's why I created this one.
Right now, I'm listening to some awesome music on jango.com. I think I like this site much better than Pandora. Simple and plays music I like. I'm skipping a lot less than Pandora.
Speaking of Pandora, my original thoughts for name this blog was going to be pandorasjar.blogspot.com but it was already taken. I suppose my title will suffice.
It's kind of hard to blog, when you have distracting music in your ears and when you're tired because you never stay up past midnight (I know I'm like an old woman..). Guess I can start out by telling you a little about myself (although if you're reading this you probably already know me).
I'll be 22 on Aug 24 and my (not-so)little brother turns 21 on Aug 9. I wanted to take him to the WWE event at Arco Arena, but unfortunately I don't have $150 to spend on 3 tickets, especially if I want money for my own birthday or for school books.
Speaking of school, I am currently attending Folsom Lake College and majoring in Psychology. Eventually, I'll specialize in child and adolescent psychology and go into the counseling field to help the children. Right now I estimate that I'll graduate with my AA in the Spring of 2011. I don't actually know because I'm only going half time so I know it's going to take me longer so I don't really think about the completion date, just actually getting my classes completed. I did pretty well last semester. I got an A in my summer school class and then in the Spring I got an A in one class and a B in the other. That's good for having taken a year off, due to bad circumstances.
Those bad circumstances were pretty much my mom getting into an accident that left her disabled for quite awhile, but also they found out she had malignant kidney cancer and that was the scariest thing ever for me. It still is scary to think that it could come back anywhere in her body. They just found some polyps or something when she had a colonoscapy (sp?) done. Not sure if those were cancerous or not. I'm hoping not. She's taking it like a trooper, but she's probably more scared than I am. I can't stand the thought of losing my mom.
Speaking of family, to give you a little background, I have 5 sisters and 3 brothers. Sara and Rachel are from my dad's first wife. Marie and Jason are from my mom's first husband. Olivia, Jesse and Katie are from my dad's second wife and then there's me and my brother Chris from my dad and mom (his 3rd marriage, her 2nd). I love having a big family with lots of brothers and sisters. I can't really imagine it any other way.
A little bit of background on my work history. Currently I work at Il Fornaio as a hostess (which I can't say anything bad about because I signed a paper stating I wouldn't talk crap on the internet. haha) and at U-haul as a CSR. I used to work as a florist (wasn't very good at designing), security guard, and at the movie theaters. I had become an Assistant Manager when I worked at the theaters, but it was shortlived because they don't pay well and don't give benefits. I like my current job at Il Fornaio though. I've met a lot of cool people and it's a nice place to work.
A huge part of my life is someone that has been with me through all of this, Kevin. We've been together since April 2006 and have lived together since September 2006. Needless to say, he drives me crazy sometimes, but I still love him. Even if toothpaste gets on the counter, or he leaves the juice out, or his shoes on the floor, or doesn't replace the toilet paper roll (you get the point), he's still a really good boyfriend. He's smart and loves me lots. He's been trying to keep a smile on my face since the day we met with his silliness. I love his ambition (even if it drives me nuts sometimes), it's an integral part of who he is. He loves trying new things and learning new things, which I don't always like to do, so he helps push me to do that and sometimes I actually end up enjoying it.
What I enjoy doing for the most part is just hanging out. I like watching movies (especially at the theater with movie popcorn. yum!), having a margarita with friends, and hanging out with my cats. They're silly little creatures and so laid back (most of the time). I've had Pogo since like October 2006 and Jasper since 2008 I believe. Kevin decided one day that I would like having a cat, even though at that time I didn't like animals, and he brought home a little kitten. Tiny tiny little thing. We named him Pogo, because Kevin said he tried to jump out the car window when he was driving home with him. A few months later, we adopted his brother Coco into our family, but from the start he proved to be a little difficult to turn into a house cat. He always wanted to be feral, and in the end he got his way and is free on the streets somewhere in Rancho Cordova. He's never came home because we moved to a new apartment. There'll always be a special place in my heart for him though. Jasper came to us via cat fostering. I have no idea how I got into fostering kittens, but at the time I had two cats, and I wanted to foster only 1 kitten, but it was a package deal, you had to take the siblings. So, I ended up fostering 3 kittens. 2 girls and 1 boy kitten. We named them Jasper, Angel (his twin) and for some reason I can't remember the little orange kitty's name. The two girls got adopted out by a really nice lady named Kathy and I convinced Kevin to let me keep Jasper, which I'm glad he did because Jasper is such a wonderful cat. He has so much personality and so much love.
Well, that's about all about me for tonite. I'm getting quite tired and my brain is starting to work on autopilot. Have a good night/day everyone! Ciao!
