Ok so they just lost 12-4 to the Phillies, but they had one hell of a series in Philly. NOBODY ever expected the rockies to be in the thick of it this late in the year. I must say that I think that they are going to fall short of the playoffs, but DAMN this was one hell of a year.

I remember at the beginning of the year, all the news people and ESPN analysts didn't give the Rockies a shot for anything. Basically they were saying that the Rockies will again be in the basement in the NL. WRONG! So maybe home grown talent isn't so bad!

The pitching is what has surprised me the most. We actually have consistent pitchers (thank god for Jeff Francis!) and our offense has finally been helped. Gone are the days of the 20-19 Rockies win, where no pitcher could get anyone out!

I'd like to say this. THANK YOU TO THE ROCKIES! You have made baseball interesting in Colorado again. Keep it up and you guys are rocking the house! AND who knows maybe you can turn heads in the NL and try to become the Wild Card!

OMG I was in Wal-mart the other day and Christmas stuff was already out! CHRISTMAS!!!! Already. I mean they had halloween in this little section, and almost one whole side of an aisle dedicated to christmas. This is a bit MUCH, don't ya think?

Although it did get me thinking. Every year when I send out my christmas cards (late by the way) I have always wanted to send a yearly update sort of thing...just because I am sick of answering the question when I talk to family at that time of year. So maybe I should start now by starting to write the letter and then add the things that happen in the coming months. I am a horrible procratinator...so maybe I could start this. HAHAHA! we will see.

Plus since I am broke just about every month I am thinking about saving as much as I can so I can get a few people some gifts.

In other new my apartment lease is up soon. I need to go and talk to management about how much my rent will go up. I pay $703/ month which is about $80-$100 per month below what market value is for my apartment. I am wondering if I could continue to pay what I am paying.

If my rent goes up...then I am going to have to move in with my grandma. I could get another apartment, but I would have to move in with Grandma for a month till I get my deposit back so that I have a deposit for the new place. Or I have to live with her for an extended time. WHICH will KILL me if I have to live with her again. I love my Grandma, but my Aunt is there 5 days a week and I CAN"T live with her. Plus I am almost 28 years old and I have enjoyed living by myself. My cats love it as well! They are more sociable and playful.

So I am apartment hunting and this weekend I am going to talk with my management company. FUN!

Just a line to tell you nothing special has been going on. I just work and that is about it.

I am hoping to find a new job, but nothing has been out there. And if by chance I hear about one...I apply and never hear anything. I almost hate doing it electronically because it is so impersonal. I would be open to tips on how to get recognized. I have re-written my resume and I follow up on everything. So I am at a loss as to why I don't get called at all.

In other news, I have been chatting with this guy online. His name is Chad. So far I like him, but I am a bit hesitant to meet him. Last time I showed up to met someone I got stood up...well I saw him there and when he realized it was me he left. So I am treading lightly. It is almost like I am afraid of that rejection that I will not even give it a try.

And on Friday and Saturday I got to watch Gregory (lazypuppy's little boy). My mom was impressed about how well I handled Greg and played with him.... She said that when I am ready to have kids, she knows I will do well. I love my mom so much! She really knows what to say. A lot of family members have been hounding me to get married and have kids. It is refreshing to know that my mom is not that type at all. But I had so much fun watching the little guy, cause I never get to watch him.

Oh and this past Sunday was a mini family reunion. It was good to see my aunt and uncle from Farmington, NM. It was also good to see my great aunt who lives near me. Despite the fact that many of us in the family are not talking to each other, this day went well. I actually enjoyed myself.

DO you ever have those days where you just feel lost or never quite feel right? Well I have those all the time. I need to change some things in my life. Here is my brief list that is very rough...

1. Change my stupid job. I like being a designer, but I actually want to design. I want to go back to residential, model homes to be exact.
2. To achieve #1, I need to realize that maybe I need to move. I need to go somewhere the housing market is booming...so that I can do models.
3. I need to realize that where I want to live (i.e. Montana or Idaho) that there are not a ton of Interior Design jobs. If I truly want to live in western Montana then I need to get into a field that has jobs there.
4. I need to get more friends...or at least ones that are more available and willing to do stuff.
5. I need to first and foremost take care of myself. Healthwise and Mentally.

SO I am not happy and I need to change, but I am at the stage that I am asking myself, "Where the hell do I start?"

Can you believe that? The end of July ALREADY! I am thinking I might actually make it one whole year on my job. Amazing. We are SO busy here at work. My Project Manager (PM) is out for the whole week, so between fielding all of his phone calls with Marcy and doing all of the projects he promised we are slammed. But then again when are we not that way. All I say is that it makes the day go by faster. I am headed into a CAD meeting. Should be informative. We are trying to get our two teams here at work to have all of our drawing look uniform, so far it hasn't been but slowly it is starting to fall into place. But it will never be perfect. Oh well nothing I can do about except by making my drawings look great!

So since Sunday my tooth has been hurting. I was breaking down and considering going to the dentist, but I found out it was the problems with my ear that is cousing it. So I am treating a cold I have (minor) with my ear problems and the pain in my tooth is minimal. On a side note...I would hate going to the dentist, because i need SO MUCH work done, that I don't have the money for, that my dentist would have a hay day.

Here I am slaving away at work, but hey it is almost the end of the day. My Best Friend (lazypuppy) is going home this weekend. I hope she has lots of fun spending time with her family! Gregory will be the center of attention.

I went to the doctor for my post surgical check-up. Everything looked good, but my blood test for my liver came back today. Basically it isn't what my doctor would like to see and I am anemic. So I have to retest in 3 months, then they will go from there. Kind of scary!

Well this one is a short one...I have to get back to work!
