Watch where you put your cheese...

So Kyle and I went grocery shopping a few days ago. Just a normal shopping trip, nothing unusual about it. Kyle pushes the cart, I take charge of the list and put everything in the cart. Sometimes I forget that I have someone following me with a cart though, so I tend go through areas that maybe a cart won't fit. Well it was time to pick out my shredded cheese. Kyle was right behind me with the cart, or so I thought. I went to put my package in the cart before turning around. I realized too late that it wasn't Kyle behind me. So I just had to say "Oops, you're not my husband," and I took my cheese back. It made it so much worse when I realized that Kyle had seen the whole exchange. It took him about 5 minutes to stop laughing, and then another 5 minutes for the blood to drain back out of my face. Whew! Anyway, how cute are my chocolate covered cereal treats? I made these for my last day of work, they went over quite well too. There's going to be a craft show here in Knob in a month or so, and I think I may try my hand at that. Try to sell some of my cereal treats and what-not. We'll see though. So here's Bandit. He's begging for a treat. We've taught him how to sit and shake. Now if we could only teach him that biting isn't nice, we'd be all set. Kyle's still on his crazy shift, and from the sounds of it he won't be done with it for at least another week. I still don't have a job, but I put in a few applications around town here. I'd just prefer to work in Knob Noster for now, so I don't have to drive more than two miles to get to work. Other than that, nothing new here. Goodnight! -Jess

Siamese Twins

Seriously, this is how they fell asleep. This is nothing new though. They're best friends now, they're actually chasing each other around the house right now, leaving destruction in their path. So I'm unemployed, last Friday was my last day at Embarq, and I really do miss everyone there. I'm thinking about just putting in an application for McDonald's until I get my CNA license. It's about 1/4 mile away from where we live so it would be super close. Plus, I don't want to get involved in a job where they are looking for a permanent employee. School is going great. I really like it. We just toured the nursing home that we will be doing our clinical training in last night. It's amazing! I don't know what I wouldn't do to work there. They have what they call a "bail-out" program. You work 12 hours Saturday and 12 hours Sunday (so 24 hours) and you get paid for working 36! Now that would be awesome. I just finished my second week of class, and at the end of this month I will be done. Bandit is doing very well. His owner finally came for him about 3 weeks ago... a month late! He said "I see you've been keeping an eye on my dog," but I had to tell him no. A man that cares that little about his dog doesn't deserve to have a dog in the first place. This second picture is just a normally everyday thing. It's not a joke, they really fell asleep like this. She uses him as a pillow quite often. Kyle has been on another one of his crazy shifts. He's working 12 hours, and I've been leaving for school before he gets home most nights. So the only time I really see him is when he's sleeping. Good news though, he passed his big test that he's been studying for since we moved here 9 months ago, and he ranked up on Wednesday! So instead of Airman Miller, he is now, Airman 1st Class Miller or A1C. Something else crazy, Kimberly is gone. About two weeks ago I noticed that she wasn't next door anymore. I hadn't seen her kids in a while either. I caught up with her last night on Yahoo! Messenger, and she said that she filed for divorce the other day. Torey, her husband, is still next door though. Kyle hangs out with him on the weekends still. Things are really starting to change around here. Well, I hope everyone is still doing well. Talk to you soon! -Jess
