"workin in a coal mine goin down, down, down...."

i have been so spoiled this summer with only working a few days a week and only putting in 5 hours each day. i'm in for a big shocker when i start school along with work, being married and oh yeah, fun things. this past week i was able to pick up some extra shifts (which i'm very thankful for) and even though i still worked 5 hours or less each day, it's been awhile since i've gone to a job 5 days in a row. *sigh* sounds pretty pathetic huh? this week as also been teaching the kitten what not to do. she was really good at listening at first, now she's wild and likes to test us. oh the joys of a little pet! she's still cute and it's hard to get mad at her for too long once she cuddles up next to you for a nap. for some reason her favorite place to sleep is on our night stand with the computer. nick says it's cool there, i think she's just crazy. today is our last wedding of the "season". well, the last one we can attend. we will have been to four and missed six. can you believe we were invited to that many? insane. in a few years we'll all be having babies together. but let's not think about that too soon. nick and i want to do a 5 year anniversary cruise with all of our friends who got married this year (plus dave who will be in march or something soon and micah who was two years ago). going by ourselves would be ok, but to have everyone with us - now that would be fun. we all have to start saving now - i'm really looking forward to it so i hope it really happens.
