Peachy Keen Jellybean
Posted by: Robin Sommer on: December 18, 2009
If you follow my facebook you have no doubt seen pictures of our new baby German Shepherd Dog, Peach… Formally known as Peachy Keen Jellybean RO. She’s AKC and UKC registered and comes from a pretty long line of working dogs.
I’m going to get her into obedience and agility competition, maybe try out the UKC dog show circuit (she’s not showable in AKC because she’s white.)
She’s a cute little patoot… but pretty naughty. She’s constantly finding new ways to get into trouble. I have to admire her tenacity.
In other news…
The new job is going well I think. I did cut myself really badly the other day though. Ouch. Other than that it’s pretty fun. The other girls in the grooming salon are nice and funny and almost as inappropriate as I am. Yesterday my boss and I had a conversation about how drinking alone was the only way to do it, because social drinkers are really just amatuers trying to keep up with eachother in a bar. 
I’m probably in the bars a lot more than I should be, but I feel like there isn’t anything else to do. I know that living back in the QC affords me plenty of chances to do whatever I like, but nothing seems interesting when it is actually time to figure out a plan for the night. work, drink, watch CSI and/or Law & Order……that’s my life….oh, and there’s some lovin’ thrown in the mix too. Oh, and raising naughty dogs…
fancy date
Posted by: Robin Sommer on: November 24, 2009
Last night Dan and I went out on a fancy double date. Expensive dinner and a movie, then cocktails. I really need to stop drinking so much. Ugh, my head hurts…
I am now trying to decide if I should bring the dog into the house before or after I get up and take a shower. Probably before… I don’t want him to eat anybody.
Speaking of dogs…
I got a new job. I start working in the Petsmart grooming dept. on Monday. woo hoo.
I don’t feel like blogging much right now. Off to the shower
Ahhh!

It’s been soooo long since I have made a post. I need to get back into this shit.
First off: NEW HOUSE!
Dan and I are all moved into our new house in Illinois (1802 3rd St, Moline, IL….. if you wanna visit us, or send me expensive gifts)
It’s a pretty big place and we lived here for like a week without any furniture. Now we have some things to fill it up, and a crazy ass dog that makes any space feel 10x smaller. I’ll get to HIM in a minute.
Anywho, here are some pics of the place which you have probably already seen on facebook.
Then, there is Chuck the Dog. He’s a bad, bad, bad dog. I have written about Chuck before. He’s the sweet and innocent puppy that Daniel rescued from certain doom in Afghanistan. He made the difficult 7000 mile trip to America to live in peace and comfort. He’s doing that…well… the comfort part. He sleeps on the couch and eats deliscious bones and plays with toys
"I'm Chuck, I destroy things"
trouble with Chuckles is that he is quite mean. He’s VERY bad with strangers and gets pretty scary sometimes. He’s also taken to being a bad doggy at home, mostly via humping and challenging me to duels. The other night he went completely psycho and bit the shit out of my arm. It was bad. He is now on doggy anti-anxiety/antidepression drugs. We hope these thing work because if he can’t live calmly in this house there is no place for him to go. He’s on doggy death row.
Oh god…..
he’s trying to hump me right now….
*sigh*
I suppose he might need a walk.
It’s official

I am moving back to Illinois, yay!
This means I will be much closer to my friends and family (except my parents) and that is awesome. Well, not the leaving my parents part, but the other part.
Speaking of “coming back” …………. can anyone tell me when BOB Prom is?
considerations
Posted by: Robin Sommer on: October 6, 2009
I’m thinking about moving home to IL. It’s exciting and scary at the same time. While I promised myself (and others) on multiple occassions that I would not live with a roommate ever again, I think I may break that rule. I think I might…………well, most likely will……..take the “move in together” step. There are a lot of things to consider here, but over all I feel really good about this idea.
I know people there, I know where things are, I would feel secure. Security is something that I think I’ve been missing for a while now. I don’t know, I might not have any idea about where my life is headed in the long run, but I like the idea of being sure about one thing, one person that can just be there for me, no matter what.
I do feel confidant and secure in my relationship with Dan, it’s really nice to feel that way.
Plus…
I would LOVE to be so close to Jessica and Kristin again. I miss those girlies. I didn’t get to see them for my birthday like I had hoped. I still need a girl’s night, but not so much right now. Maybe I’m just all excited about the possiblity of moving “home” and being with all of my friends and Dan and all of the things I used to know. I sounds so nice. I really dislike MN.
can’t think of a title

I’ve been feeling sort of strange lately. I guess I’ve just been working a lot and stressing over school and being lonely. I go out with people from work a lot, but it usually just involves me drinking too much and feeling sort of bad the next day. A girl from work wanted me to go out tonight, but I really am tired of the Duluth/Two Harbors bar scene right now… and I have to work at 7:30 AM tomorrow.
I should have used this afternoon to clean my room, or do laundry, or clean my car, or do one of the other hundred things I SHOULD be doing on my time off, but I really just wanted to lay around and sleep.
I had some more dreams about my teeth falling out, I read that it means I have high anxiety. I guess I really am an anxious person most of the time, and maybe a little obsessive.
I’m going to Iowa for my birthday to see JJ and Kristin. I really think that’s what i need right now. I need to see my girls and let loose and laugh and have girl talk.
I also need to see Dan, like, very badly. I have so much to say to him and it’s just not the same trying to talk over AIM or a static-y cell phone. I miss him a lot.
Also, I ate grouse for lunch today that a friend of mine shot. It was actually pretty good, like chicken but tastier. I have a feeling that living in Minnesota will mean that I’ll have a fall full of eating wild creatures that my friends and co-workers have killed. Delicious.
last night I nearly hit two deer right in the middle of town. they were super lucky that I was driving so carefully because I was drunk…
phew

been working a lot this month. like….A LOT!
not much other than that going on. more to follow at a later date, because right now i have to put my laundry (work clothes) in the dryer and talk to my snuggle puppy via AIM.
roller derby
Posted by: Robin Sommer on: September 8, 2009
remember when I said I wanted to form a roller derby team in Kville? Man, that would have been fun.
there’s a woman in my psychology class that is on the roller derby team here, the Harbor City Roller Dames. That’s pretty hardcore and I sort of want to check it out. I wish I had a girl friend here that I could take with me. I don’t think that Renee would go for that sort of thing, she hates showing off.
I’m also a terrible skater.
btw

My tum tum hurts. I thought my insides were all falling out this morning, but I feel much better now. I think I’m going to take more pain killers now though. Oh, and a hot bath would be nice.
Mmmmm
bath
done and done
