Lately, I have been excited to announce that I am moving in with my boyfriend and his roommate here in November. I'm nervous only because we have such a small amount of time to find a place that makes us all happy. We are looking for a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment or house with relatively low rent rates and reasonable utilities.

i'm actually pretty pumped to just live with Raynor. I'm over at his house 85-90% of the time anyway. The only times I stay at my own house is when I have to work in the morning at such an early time that I would much rather take the short walk than force Raynor to wake up and drive me.

I'm excited to have groceries in the same place as him. He does his own grocery shopping as do I. But since I spend so much time at his place, all of my groceries go unused. When I am at home, I make myself dinner every night. And when we are his apartment we usually have a light, less-than-desirable meal because we lack groceries, we go out to eat which adds up quickly, or we go grocery shopping specifically when I want to cook something special.

it'll be nice to just have groceries all the time.

speaking of groceries (i must be hungry!), I quit target. I have until Oct. 1st before my discount because unusable. So next week, Raynor and I are going on a major shopping trip so that we can use my discount to its fullest one last time. He did that right before his last day by buying an iPod.

Raynor and I are really happy right now. We had a day last month where we started discussing his belief in Polygamy. I don't put it against him because his dad was and being raised around something, it's hard to see where and why it is wrong.

We were talking about the fact that our 1 year anniversary is coming up on Oct. 13. And he was just like "well, you know...if you ever wanna ..." and we got into a pretty large debate/fight about "why can't my love be enough to satisfy you?"
and i think he thought i was going to break up with him.
it really shook him, that idea. he even told me so.
he has been particularly more attached than normal, which is not a bad thing by any means. I wished that he would be.

i'm not saying he is clingy. because he isn't. he is just right. gives me my space but if i don't text him for a while, he'll remind me that he loves me and/or misses me and/or is just thinking about me.

after about 3 or 4 days of not seeing him (which is rare but is happening more frequently because I am currently employed in 3 different locations), he starts to call me and text me more, simply because he is missing me more than he was at first. and that makes me really happy.

i'm happy all around right now.

except for Target. Target is honestly the most depressing thing in my life. Next comes Deb. Target sucks the life out of me. It is no fun anymore, and compared to subway...it just doesn't compare. I am absolutely head over heals in love with Subway. I'm sure that will wear off eventually but right now I am just in love with the people, the owner, the concept, the comradery (sp?), the team work, the effort, the environment. I love it!
deb, well, it was drama right from the get go. We had only 2 managers - one general manager and one assistant. Well, the team was really short staffed and they were able to hire a lot of new people. Davina (asst manager) and Jess' (general manager) management styles differed but the store ran pretty smoothly. Our district manager Rhonda had been in a few times and had said that our store looked really good and she was really proud of our development.
the next day she fired Jess.
that same day a new manager came in who had all these horrible opinions of our store.
the next week Rhonda came in and told Davina the store looked great.
the next day she told Debbie (new manager) everything that sucked about our store and made her fix it...automatically pinning the two managers against each other.
two sales associates have quit due to the drama and I'm going to be behind them here shortly.
I do not want to leave them short handed during the holiday seasons but i'm pretty sure that as soon as december comes and goes, I will quit. I do not enjoy the job, the customers, the new manager, the district manager is rude to me.... Subway is my dream job and I cannot wait until we have our own store and are not training out of the small store in the mall.

There still isn't an opening date but it's soon and I'm SOOOO excited.
The point of this blog was to just talk about everything on my mind lately. Not for anyone to read. hopefully i didn't bore you to sleep if you did read all of this.

signing off. gonna go see Scott Pilgrim vs the world again with Raynor, Chris, Domino, and dustin.

will talk later about how much I love my friends.
