2 weeks worth in one felt better this way...
1. Last week I did not work AT ALL. I was due to work just one day on Monday when it got cancelled because of bad rain that caused LL to be closed. Mel got to go on to her job I was left at Target, and taken back home. It was not a good day. I was not called in one time and I was free to work Thur-Sun. I was hoping maybe something would happen this past week. And it did. God gave me a FULL day of work way plus on what I was to have the Monday before. I worked 7hrs 10 mint. I was going to get 4hrs 30 mint. Wow! I have worked every day this week. This being the first time this week I havent worked. It was hours spread out. It ends my two weeks of work pay so my check on the 30th will rock! I love my job. I am going to be SUPER sad if I dont work anymore after the 9th.
2. Last week we had rain for a few days. This week we had wind. The weather out in California in the winter is so odd. Yes this is me speaking from NOT being in California this time of year for 5 yrs. Its still all strange to me... I miss snow, I miss 0 temps and not being able to feel myself when I go outside. I even miss sleeping with a heater, in several layers and still not being able to stay warm. I'm strange but this California girl will always miss the cold probably the rest of my life!
3. I turned 32 omgosh yes I did on the 20th. I almost did this blog last weekend before my latest birthday. I am so confused as to why so much had to change between 31 and 32 and how most wasnt good but bad. Yes. God may have some great plans for me between 32 and 33. I pray they are good plans and good things and nothing major like: a move back to our old state at our parents house when we werent prepared, losing my best friend who ditched me after 13 faithful years, a bookstore I loved closing and going bankrupt. I think between 32 and 33 I want: a job in my career field OR AT LEAST ANOTHER INTERNSHIP, publish something or attempt to, start saving money would be a bonus. Yes those are MY goals. In the end it is God who plans not us I love that quote in Evan Almighty where God laughs when Evan is like upset about his plans that the ark wasnt part of his plans. And God goes "Yours plans. Hahahaha." Yes so true so true.
4. Last week we practiced our last Christmas Choir. This week we had our dress practice in on the sancturay. Then on Saturday (yesterday) we performed. We did two of them one at 5 and one at 8. It was the most fun I have had in a long time. I was just having a good time praising God with Christmas songs all about celebrating Jesus birth. If others were blessed thats great! But in then end its all for Him!
5. Well it is the end of Christmas and since its after midnight its not Christmas. But I am good to say its still Christmas. I spent it sleeping like 9hrs. I feel like I am getting sick which is not a good thing. But we opened gifts. I slept another hour. Then my uncle Mike came and we ate. Later Melody came home from work. Finally my cousin Jenny is just now leaving. We hung out, talked. Its not like the good old days as a kid when we had our grandparents alive and we would hang out with family half the day. But its better then nothing. Seeing this is only our second year with someone. We spent 2007, 2008 & 2009 just me and Melody. And we got used to it. I have to agree in the end that being with family of any sort is the best thing in the world during the holidays.
till next week I mean NEXT YEAR. Happy New Year to you!!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 11, 2011)
2 weeks till Christmas wow!
1. Proudly I got through some boxes in the garage. I was SO happy to finally find things like my blanket for my bed, my last bathroom box, and my bed boxes. If only I had enough space to actually unpack the boxes. Instead I am forced to chose what I want most and put that away somewhere. On a side note: ants found their way to my bed few days ago. Really freaked me out and did not make me happy. I hope they dont come back and bite me as I sleep at night :(
2. Melody had her 29th birthday on Tuesday. It was a busy day including hiking at Torrey Pines which we havent been to in a year. And dinner at Mimmi's Cafe. It felt different celebrating with the parents since we havent done this in 5 yrs. Usually its me and Mel and some food place. Last year we went down to Flagstaff and looked at stars eating at Chili's before going home. How a year changes things...
3. We arent going to Disneyland now this month at all. I am sad to report even though it was supposed to be next weekend we would go. Suddenly stupid Dland goes and blocks all weekends and thats all we can do because my friends friend who was gonna sign us in only not works the weekends. Its a big mess and something I am NOT happy about. We have only 3 days in January we can do it before the holiday stuff comes down. Trying to be hopeful but still not happy :(
4. We only did one bike ride this week and it was simply to go to the store for something. It wasnt far away but something. I really need to be biking every few days if nothing else just around the neighborhood I am getting badly out of shape since we only ride ONCE a week if that!
5. I only worked twice this week but loved every minute of it. Doing it both times reminded me of 2006 when Mel would work before me and I would come in with her. Since both times I had to come in hours before my shift. Monday I slept in the car for a few hrs then went in the park to read. Saturday I just went in and sat at the cafe reading before my shift. Oh well love it still :)
till next time...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 4th, 2011)
Did this last wk from my ipod was interesting back to the computer...
1. Its hard to believe we are now 3 months since this all began. I was just telling a friend on FB that its so strange to live in Cali. You just dont know what it is like. Its different then trying to live in a place we never did like TN and AZ. You get used to it. But here its like we should know these things. I still cant think where stores are, I havent been down to Orange County for a year now. We never made it that far in June. Living out here is different then visiting. Its different in so many ways. I like it a lot and sometimes I hate it more. I like some things hate others. Yes 3 months later sure has changed a lot of things and still some may never change...
2. So on Monday I was told my Fedex package would come by 3. It never did. On Tue I was told my Fedex package was needing to be picked up as the address was wrong (it was sent to our old one). All these msgs and I was wondering what was the package when I hadnt ordered anything. And my creditors havent done that whole kinda crap since we first stopped paying them in 2007! Turns out Carters sent me a check my last one early. I wanted to cash it and made 3 attemps on Thur none worked. I still dont know why. I'm gonna drop it today and hope it clears. The pay date is correct. If they are using my bad credit to not let me cash a small $25 check they are seriously screwed up. Sigh. But thanks for the check to the company I only worked a month with!
3. I worked off and on at Legoland this week. I never complain I love the job more and more every day. I am sad when I dont work or when I get cut short. I worked a few times this week. My last day being today. Then I work only twice this next week but hoping for another shift. I was thinking I should have kept my other job but I didnt like that job it wouldnt have been worth it...
4. On Monday we biked to the beach. What a joke! We orignally thought warmer day=lets go swimming and then ride back. But we got a late start. Then they were doing construction on the bike path which meant we had to spend an extra 15 to 20 mint both ways going way around. In the end we put our feet in the ocean and came back in the dark. It took forever. I hurt from that thing for 2 days with an extra half hour plus of riding in there. Still have sand in my shoes too haha.
5. I completed my NaNo book this week. I came in over my amount but still I finished it. I am proud to have done this again 4 yrs later. I didnt think I could do it but I did it. I wrote a book. And like last yrs the book is good enough I think to even think about editing it and trying to publish it. Will take time and dedication to work on them both.
Till next time...
