Yeah...
1. First off. We started the week out by going to the San Tan Mall. Well we didnt know till we arrived its an OUTDOOR mall. Similar to Kierland Commons and Temp Marketplace. But at least it was a bit more organized. Still it was nearly 113 and we spent a good 2hrs outside and in getting apps and applying. The whole thing wore me out SO bad I only dropped off I believe 3 apps plus Barnes & Noble. At Barnes & Noble I talked to a mgr when I dropped off my app and she thinks they might be hiring. It was like a mini interview where she asked me questions like my availablity, why I wanted to work for B&N (yet again cause she knew I had before), what I liked in movies, cds, books, etc. Who knows if anything will come from it. I will be calling back Bath & Body which was hiring and Disney tomorrow hopeful here!!
2. I found out that there is a BIG Lego Store opening up in Glendale in Oct. They are having a job fair in less than 2 weeks the 10th & 11th. Now Glendale isnt close to us its about 45 mint plus away. But it will be worth it if I get FULL TIME. I worked for Lego Store for over 2yrs and then Legoland for 3 months. That adds up to about 2.5yrs of Lego only retail experience!! I am praying this is the right full time job as Bookmans never turned out. (Mel had a creepy feeling she only recently revealed about Bookmans).
3. I had 2 job interviews 2 days in a row. I got done at my one at Claires which I got called back on Monday. It was from OUR mall which we had just given up on. I dont think I did so well with my interview I can tell sometimes. But the second one was the next day at Childrens Place. This one is more promising. Again at Arizona Mills my fav mall out of all of them so far. She was a friendly lady named Debbie. I love Debs, Deborahs, and Debbies that I have met so thats good. I should know by Friday for this one. She said Monday for Claires and just to let you know. I got NO calls today. Told you so!!
4. Our temps are dropping faster then is possible. I will be confused in the fall when we dont change back clocks, and it doesnt get too much cooler. But I am welcoming the below 100 temps. Tomorrow might hit 100. We did have some monsoon rains again but its okay. Lots of blue skies white clouds nice days and some windy/breezy too. Nice I love AZ :))
5. Went back to our church they are still doing the My Lame Sex talk. 2 more weeks. It wasnt so bad yesterday thankfully. We also got our FREE travlers mugs for being first timers. They were out 3 wks ago when we first came. Thankful they are SO cute
Thats all for now. Been in AZ 6 wks still no jobs. Keep us in prayers. Till next weekend :)

The Weekend 5 August 22, 2010
Hello!
1. The week started out not super bad. First up Mel got her computer fixed she thought. Not the one that had the bad virus but her old one. She just lost her whole hard drive but the computer is now "usable" well not really...you see it needs disc we still dont have so it cant go online, watch dvds or anything. While her other computer cant do wifi, or listen to stuff but at least you can watch movies in mute. So we are stuck for now till we figure things out going online at the library and once a week going to B&N and sharing *MY* computer.
2. I am sad to say I havent gotten back to my CU's. I had every intention in the last 2 weeks of going back to them. I cant promise anything but this week I shall try. Its making me sad. I mean noone really watched them but a piece of me breaks a part in the heart when I realize another week gone and no CU's.I havent done any since June so that is truly a very sad fact of life! Yikes!
3. No job yet. Yes I mean it NO. JOB. YET. Bookmans the one I was 99% sure I had it didnt ever call. Worse yet was I couldnt even get that reply from the MGR that I had my interview with. I called on Wed twice and he busy in a meeting. I was hopeful thought meeting meant=still deciding. Well he no call back. So on Thur I left my name and # and he still no call back. All I wanted to know was if he had decided. Its confusing too cause Sarah the MGR (hes the assist MGR) said in my VM that she hiring for "positions" yet he said "one position". Either way I am now 99% sure I wont work there. Leaving 1% that I could. Yeah right. Life sucks!!
4. Ah the lovely electric bill came and its very high and yet again we dont know how to pay it. How can you pay for something when God wont give you a job right? I mean I am not kidding when I say that. Me and sis have been on this horrible rollar coaster of constant crap since we moved to TN in 2007. Thats almost 3 yrs of this. I want it to end. Whats the lesson? Whos it for? Why are we still in this mess? Plus I have been out of college for 6yrs thats 6yrs of me trying to get a real "Career". I dont consider any thing I get now a career just a job. And we dont got it so we arent surviving so well...
5. Well to pass the time I love reading so I keep getting books. More and more Young Adult. I love the bks would love to write them someday so I keep reading them. They come out with new ones all the time. I am pretty much into anything fantasy like: magic, elves, faeries, vampires, werewolves, shape shifters. I have read a few adult ones mind you and I did pick up a few chick lits. Plus I'm reading Sherlock Holmes. I am addicted to bks so I am reading all kinds but YA is the ones I read the most. And I am not ashamned to admit that either :))
Thats all for now. Till next week see ya!

The Weekend 5 August 15th 2010
Okay...
1. First of all I thought I would write my first of 5 on the fact I just got kicked off the computer. I dont know where you even go to make a reservation but I just got kicked off the computer I on when I decided to end early and it wouldnt let me back. I think its super super lame! Why is it busy on a Sunday? Come on! We've been coming here wks now and no problems at all I cant believe I got kicked off. So my sis let me on hers and said it wasnt important but if it renews me in 15 mint I will let her back on. I truly just wanted to get a little done on a regular computer. I love my laptop I DO but their wifi is crap and slow and I cant get that much done. I probably get as much done on my laptop as I do these computers. UGH
2. So poor Mel got a nasty virus a very bad one on Monday. SO bad it took her nearly 3 days to get it off. And now her poor computer is still disabled. She cant do anything much. She can watch dvds but has no volume its mute for good for now. Then there is no wifi cause its disabled. Point being the whole computer though fixed (which is GOOD) is pretty much screwed up. Its just crazy I feel so bad for her she has no computer now and I have one still. We each lost a computer in the last yr sad fact there.
3. My poor sister Misty the handicapped one from California. Well she fell last night down the stairs HEAD FIRST. Shes at the doctor now but I'm still worried. Mom thought she was dead. My poor dad still recovering from his shoulder surgery in May hit his bad arm on the wall and was swearing like crazy in his office for a while. It really sucks. I am praying she is okay and hope mom lets me know soon the results. Why Misty why? I dont want to loose my sister or her to be hurt. I love her very much so and was so glad to see her for a week this past May.
4. Our church today began a new series called "My Lame Sex" I think the site is http://www.mylamesex.com check it. Well so far I am not super interested in it. Seeing it doesnt do anything for me. So far its about having sex or if you have had it. Yeah sex in church. I might go off on this more in my new diary of a single girl blog. Shall see. But for now we will keep coming to these even though for now they are not of any use to us. But its not a bad talk and it was a good message. Kinda good but not so cause not for me. Still...if you in the area check it out next week!
5. Finally I had 3 job interviews this week. Two were on Tuesday. The one I want the most is a used bookstore called Bookmans. They have one up in Phoenix and one in Mesa which is the one I applied at. Well I will hear back on Tue if its the job for me. Full time 40 hrs a week $8 an hour. Come on God please. I mean I love music, dvds, books, video games and magazines. I doubt buying back stuff could be hard. My 3 references should come up easy. And I think almost 8yrs in retail and two stores were MAJOR stores Barnes & Noble and later Borders that should count for a lot. Bath & Body I'd love to say I want to work there cause I would. They are hiring 2 to 3 people but the thing is I had sugar before and answered one of her questions all sugary. She asked why I wanted to work there (it was a group interview but just me and another girl so a mini one) I told her the store was "bright. I've never been in a store thats so bright" LOL too funny! Well not funny is she said end of week and I never heard back. So I guess not. Icing my last one that just happened two days ago on Friday I wont hear back for another week or two, plus you have to be pushy and wear 4 things that are all jewerly or hair stuff they prefer they sale there. They arent going for looks but seriously I dont know if its for me. So I am still praying for Bookmans since its the best match and has all I want. Will know Tue so by time I write again I could have a job Lord willing!!
Okay I gotta get going incase I get kicked off here in 7 mint. Till next week!!

The Weekend 5 Aug 8th 2010
1. Began this week at an interview at Charlotte Russe. What a crappy thing it was. 18 people were there get it 18 people for a group interview. They came in all shapes and sizes, me and two others werent the skinny. And yet she made 9 of us leave and I was one of them me and those two. All girls of course all dressed nice. I havent been to a CR interview before and I NEVER wanna go again. I think I am ruling out most fashion stores because they judge you on looks. It wouldnt have mattered had I had worked for all kinds of clothing store jobs she judged me based on looks and that is WRONG. OMG. So she said if we 9 didnt hear from her by Friday we didnt get the job. Well DUH. Cause she kept the other 9 she'd chosen and talked to them for at least a half hour plus. Really got me P.O.'ed and I was upset too at her and them! GGGRRRR
2. We spent all weekend trying to find jobs to apply at. Called a few here and there. Not with much success. But on Wednesday we went down and I tried to apply at this bookstore out here called Bookmans. Needless to say they were hiring but needed a resume and cover letter with the app. So we vowed to come back on Fri. The day was long and we didnt have the energy to come back there again.
3. Mel had her first real interview of the week on Friday and we spent most of the day down in Scottsdale. Seeing the Kierland Commons was nice though. Its an interesting place to go but not a lot of familiar shops persay. You know the kind I knew what they were. As with the ScottsDale Fashion Center like the city itself its a bit more for those with more money if you know what I mean. But I did apply at the B&N there just to get my app in to as many B&N's as possible. I have exactly one left and then I gotta make more copies. If we go back there next week will apply at Crate & Barrel which might be hiring in Sept and also at Victory Secreties who said they didnt know.
4. Poor Rocky developed a bad case of diarreah and over 24hrs still has it. We took away food this morning around 2am and hope that it helps to start back on "light" food later tonight. Please keep him in prayer. We think its stress that cat does NOT deal with stress well. He used to barf a lot during thunderstorms as a baby! :(
5. Finally I got my interview at Bookmans. I applied on Fri and was called on Saturday. Its on Tue at 1pm MT/PT. I am very excited to finally have an interview I really wanted. Both Hallmark and CR werent super high on my list. I would have prefered B&N but will take this too. I am excited!!!!
Also a side note 6. We got to try out a new church today finally a church in AZ for us. Called Corner Stone right here in Chandler. Very excited nice church and will be going back next week :))
Thats all for now till next week!!

The WeekendS 5 (past month)
The top 5 things that has happened me since I last wrote on July 4th :)) Enjoy. Back to the weekend 5 next week!!!!
1. We spent our last week in TN mostly getting job apps worked out. Then we got the truck on Saturday July 10th. The 26' truck was HUGE!! Very scary seeing last truck was 24'. Needless to say we dont have that much stuff so it was too big for us, we had to rope it down at the end and stuff kinda flew all over the place.
2. Rain was our worst enemny as we packed up our truck. We began packing it on Sunday July 11th and finished on Tuesday July 13th. We got the car on the truck just before they closed and finished up late Tuesday night. We began our trip to AZ at 3am on Wednesday July 14th.
3. Drove 27hrs till we hit New Mexico. Its all a blurr but it was crazy too. The animals didnt like it. None of the cats would pee in their box and thought we were insane. Rainbow went along with it. In NM I had to mail back 2 books and a dvd we'd kept from our library by accident. Our fines at the library in the Boro between Mel and me reach almost $15. Yikes!! Oh well never going back there so why does it matter?
4. Got our truck and us moved in barely by time they closed on July 16th. Unfortunetly the truck took too long to unload so we had to drop it off LATE on July 18th and it cost us $64 :(( But it was done and we were glad. Of course us getting complaints cause the truck blocking cars was lame as our new apts have NO place for a moving truck of ANY kind! Wth? Yeah unfair of them. In the end it was how we had to deal with it.
5. Since then we have applied at jobs at 4 malls. I have had 1 interview, Mel none. But I have my second one tomorrow. We have more places to apply. I'm trying to not get discouraged as time is running out. God has been faithful to us and I doubt he will let us down but still I am a bit nervous now. But we are trying and not giving up. Otherwise enjoying fast foods places, mostly sunny days (but some rain due to monsoons of the season) and even our tv is plugged in. Lots to unpack, dealing with bugs that snuck in with us isnt fun but we are getting them all slowly, and just learning to live here. We love it here otherwise and TN and our former lives are fading in our minds piece by piece.
