this and that

Apparently the bank and our accountants messed up our stuff.

Our accountants messed up our amount of taxes held or whatever and apparently my parents have to pay $40,000 on April 15.

crazy

Ive been under a lot of stress recently. Im also seriously considering a large life change soon and so dont think Im ignoring you guys. Im just really absorbed in thought and stress.

new pictures of cuppy though in his gallery.

the cowboy leg repeatedly is killing me

this is so funny that i was holding cuppy and laughing so much that he got pissed so i put him back in his cage and i keep bursting out with laughter and he keeps stopping eating and looking up at me from his food dish like im a retard

Click to see Cuppy!

We arrived safely today in Chattanooga, back at school.

[I forgot to mention that in the hotel we stayed at last night…when we walked in the door we smelled a weird bad like, body odor smell. then when ellen went in the bathroom, she realized after shutting the door that there were once white men’s underpants behind the door that SMELLED SOOOOOO BAD of BO. They were so heavily used and like, brown. It was disgusting. We got a new room.]

So on the way home, I decided to stop at Petsmart and get Cuppy a few things. I of course, had to take him inside because I couldnt leave him in a hot car. Plus, like, petsmart is always like “ooh bring your pets inside” so I did. I had a literal CROWD around me asking about him. I felt like a zookeeper holding an animal and asking tons of questions. Everybody loved him though, and surprisingly, Cuppy really behaved himself. He let people pet him and didnt huff once.

We got back to school after that and I settled Cuppy into his cage. I dont have a picture of it yet really for any reason. So far so good though. He has an adorable little house I bought him that he sleeps in. It looks like this:

But yeah…he’s doing great. He has newly sworn Godparents as well. Ellen is his godmother and Bjorn is his godfather. Ellen is the friend that went with me to get Cuppy, and Bjorn is her boyfriend. He’s Belgian and speaks like 500 languages and is super fancy and has a super fancy accent. Ellen and Bjorn are like the hottest, coolest couple evar and the best godparents ever. They look like this:

I love my Cuppybear. He is my hedgiebaby.

Today we slept in. Then we woke up and Ellen’s mom had left us delicious breakfast, including freshly baked blueberry muffins. They were delicious.

Cuppy was doing MUCH better this morning. It took a LOT of coaxing to get him out of the cage. First I offered him some food. He ate it out of my hand! Eventually he got comfortable enough to meander about the room a little. Within the hour, he was comfortable enough with me to let me hold him a good bit. He was very adventurous and climbed all over me. He’s adorable!

Then we had lunch. Ellen’s mom is amazing! The table was so prettily decorated that I took a picture, which will be posted in my gallery when I get home tomorrow. She even had a vase of fresh flowers that were GORGEOUS. Even fresh cherry blossoms. Emily loves cherry blossoms.  The lunch was great too. I had the best brussel sprouts of my life, and great eggplant parmesan. She even made us Pina Coladas to drink. She’s great! I also got to meet some of Ellen’s friends. Nice people.

We left today at 2pm and this time Cuppy rode in his snuggle bag (a little bag for hedgehogs lined in fleece that they like to snuggle in. hedgehogs like to be like in tight little places and cuddling) and that worked out much better. When in the bag, he felt safe and sat still and just played in the bag the whole ride, with no problems. I can take him anywhere in the bag, and he behaves. I took the bag into the gas station with me and nobody even know he was there. It was great. He is so comfortable with me now that he’ll actually sit with me. He is doing really well. He’s really warming up to me well.

We are now in Jackson, TN in a hotel. Cuppy is temporarily in his cage (I dont have bedding in it and everything…just a towel in the bottom. he’ll ride in the cuddle bag again tomorrow and then I’ll set up his cage with bedding when we get home tomorrow) and having fun drinking water and eating hedgehog food and napping. He’s so great.

Since he’s doing so well, stay tuned tomorrow for many pictures and a video of my dear Cuppy!

Today we arrived at Ellen’s mom’s house in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma is better than Arkansas, but still sucks. Everything is flat and brown and prairie-ish. This is my first visit to the midwest. I wasnt prepared for how flat and boring and brown it is.

Ellen’s mom is really nice. We surprised her by showing up and she was so excited to see Ellen that she was screaming and yelling. It was great. She took us to a spa! We went swimming and did a Water Aerobics class and sat in the jacuzzi and like went in the special eucalyptus infused steam room. I feel cleaner and less toxiny.

Then we went out to this mexican restaurant they dont have were I live. I had some kinda delicious food I’ll have to ask Ellen the name for. She’s sleeping.

Then we went and picked up Cuppy. All I have to say about Cuppy’s breeders is that I wanted to come home and take a shower afterwards *shudders*. Some of the hoglets I showed earlier were gone so I pretty much had two to choose from. The first one was pretty, but he kept totally freaking out on me. He wouldnt calm down at all even after holding him a while. He was one of like the plain creamish ones. Then the algerian cinnamon one was the other one. He was so sweet! He calmed down quickly and was very nice. I decided to get him. No pictures yet, or for a few days, sadly. He is totally traumatized right now and needs to rest a few days. He’ll be traveling all day and part of Sunday, so maybe I’ll have some pictures around Tuesday or so when he’s in his permanent home and gets used to his surroundings and will actually be doing more than crapping and hiding. And when I say crapping, I mean CRAPPING EVERYWHARS. I guess they do that when they are SUPERSCARED which I would be if I had to ride in a dark pet carrier on bumpy Oklahoma roads and was out of my environment for the first time. Poor Cuppy. He’s having a rough time. By the way, he is HaPo1 on the below post if you wanna get a general idea of what he looks like. The picture is crappy…he’s so much cuter…and sweeter looking.

And to end the day and the post…Voss Water completes me.  The bottle is so sexy.

Me and Ellen are at some hotel in Conway, Arkansas, after searching for a hotel for an hour and a half. blargh.
Arkansas is my new most hated state. Its terrible. Im not making it up. Everything is bad. And its full of mexicans. The roads are very crappily paved EVERYWHAR. It smells bad. There is a liquor barn.
We are having fun anways though. We have been dancing and screaming and singing. I know all the words to “MmmBop”. We cant decide if thats the best or worst thing about me. Quoth Ellen, “Emily, you sing on key and with perfect pitch. You are not tone deaf either”. Before today, I never knew if I was tone deaf or not. Nobody ever told me.
We stopped at an XXX store. On the way in, a hick stopped us and said “DONT LOSE YER MINDS IN THAR. I LOST MINE WHEN I WORKED HERE” then stared at us and kept walking and then walked into an ankle deep puddle, still staring at us. We saw some great things though. My favorite was a video series called “f*** me in the pooper”. How sexy. We are laughing and laughing about it too muchly.

Im collecting gay postcards along the way for my Gilly but he doesnt know because he’s a fag and doesnt read my blog. I love him anyways.

Tomorrow’s the big day.

I am in a McDonalds restaurant in Parkers Crossroads, TN. I am eating chicken fingers. They taste like crap.

We went through a very terrible storm.

In Nashville, we saw a white man wearing a do-rag with fake red and blue braids hanging off the back of his head. He had shaved legs. He was a freak. We laughed. Then we listened to Dave Attell. A good time was had by all.

200 solemn faces are you.

Roadtrip begins today. I’ll try to find places with wireless to check emails/comments/make posts, possibly with pictures!

if you have my number, give me a call sometime! if you dont have my number, you are gay.

ps
yesterday I watched every single episode of strong bad emails. Not like as in yesterday, I’d seen them all…but I watched every episode in one day yesterday.

wtf happened on the first sunday listed here?

I have all of these reserved. I cant decide which I want to get. Help me decide which. I think Im just going to have to handle them when I get there and decide then, cuz its too hard! Opinions plz!

I just called PETSMART and the woman on the phone called me a sir.

…but right now I just have to say…

this is going to be mine soon and I am dying of anticipation.

I did my hair today more like I’d normally wear it. Then tonight I got this idea to take pictures of it to show my dear, dear readers are more accurate idea of the cut itself. Since I am the owner of this blogatory, I can tell you to go look at me.

If you dont, I shall make this face. Click the picture to experience the hotness that is EMILY. If you dont, I will make this face at you.
ps
chris sidi asked me about what i wear to clinicals, so here is a picture of two friends of mine in our outfits. Its an SAU polo with scrub pants and lab coat and name badge.

pss
is blogatory a word?

I took one of them personality tests. I got weird results:

Extroverted (E) 50% Introverted (I) 50%
Sensing (S) 50% Intuitive (N) 50%
Feeling (F) 66.67% Thinking (T) 33.33%
Perceiving (P) 58.33% Judging (J) 41.67%

I got exactly 50% on two. That is odd.

I am wearing these shoes:

and yes, those are PENGUINS.

I got my hair cut. Its pretty short. Also, they effed up my bangs, so I am hiding them for now. I got pissed and decided to dye my hair electric red as possible. I accidentally bought dark pink dye though. So yah, now I have a funny brownish reddish purplish hair color. Its only for spring break though. They wont let me keep it. Im dying it back black after that.

And then I had mexican food for dinner with Nicole. Good way to end the day. Hot sauce.

Panera’s chicken caesar salads are more than excellent. So are my friends Rickie and Jessica. Shellina could not come along because she was sick. Poor Shellina.
