1. I have been working a lot this week. Sadly less next week. Starting to wonder why I was expecting so much from the Summer. Thought I could save for my ipod, computer, internship and still have money for fun stuff and the scratching post for the cat. Now I will be lucky to get the computer & ipod. And I wont be able to intern this Fall :(( Me not happy as its near impossible for me to think about saving for $$ during the 2 months in the Fall and now I dont know WHEN I can intern.
2. Been doing lots of workouts this week. Been exhausting actually doing that and working. Hard to be faithful for working out when I am this tired from working here and there. But I hope it pays off as starting tomorrow I begin adding in my runs/jogs with my walks. And I think I have a routinue finally to run for now at least. Until I start putting more than 30 mint out there. We look to pay for the race next month mid-month and cant wait. Just wish we could get some people to join us two more for a team. If we cant I guess we will be doing it with another person my sister is friends with they have a huge team so its still cheaper for us in the end even if we wont meet up till race day! Cant wait for November :)
3. Rainbow turned 10 on Saturday (yesterday). I cant believe she is 10. Its not that old as a "smaller dog" she wont even need yearly check ups twice a year till 11 or 12. She is good health wise if you dont count her allergies, her ear thing recently and she has fleas (meds are on the way hope here before Wed dont want them spreading). I love her so much and cant believe 10 years has come at last. I gave her a cute toy and some ice cream later on. But as shes gotten older I HAVE noticed she isnt great with people food and especially with milk products so her ice cream will be spread out for the next few days instead of giving it to her in two or three day pieces. Love you baby!
4. Its Summer hard to believe it. I cant believe it I am actually celebrating and in California FOR SUMMER! I havent been out here for Summer since 2007! You are looking at we visited both in 2010 and 2011 but both times came weeks before Summer. Its so different. I get the weather on my phone for both AZ & TN as well as here. Most days its 70 here, 90's in TN, and over 110 in AZ. There you can compare. Last year I was enjoying my internship but suffering in walking in downtwon Phoenix. I loved it so much. I hate the heat but I loved AZ a lot. Never will understand how much things can change not all for the good in a year!
5. Today we tried out a new church. I can finally say we may have found our for good church! Gone are the days of going to Calvary Chapel I'm sorry we spent 4 years not with that church and fell in love with the two churches we got to know in TN (Baptist) and Cornerstone in AZ. So going to CC off and on for the past 9 months hasnt been easy. You dont get the difference till you break away from CC and we knew it true. No offense if you love and go to CC forever. But its not the church for me nor my sister. This church is called "The Movement" its similar in its free stuff and its really cool! The music was loud and all that jazz. We caught them on the last Sunday at their old building of 9 years. Next week we get to join them at their new location. Fun times!
till next week and we begin July! Last Sunday in June!!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 17th 2012)
1. I have been working a lot this week. And I will continue. Its not a lot of hours per-say and I cant wait till they pick up and hoping they do in July as June hasnt been what I was expecting. Hoping my high expectations arent too high as it was 5 yrs ago it was really good in the Summer... but I love my job & I love working. Even in the morning when I am so tired I can hardly think straight. Its nice. I enjoy any time of day I work I LOVE my job. Please keep me in September yeah? :)
2. We had our BIG sale on Friday for us employees thats 1/2 off most stuff. It comes twice a year once in the summer and once at Christmas time. So it was a ton of fun. I havent bought this much lego sets probably since I worked here 5 yrs ago. I used to buy stuff all the time working for Lego and sometimes at the park too but yeah I cant when there is no discount or money coming in. I did try to get back with the company in 2010 what a failure that way...anyways I cant wait to build my stuff soon as I find time and place to do it (and put it when done!)
3. I have been faithful to working out EVERY other day this week. I am SERIOUS about this race in November. Zumba and walks every other day. Except today I only did a walk I ran out of time. One day soon I hope I will get back to doing wiifit too on the off days. I even did an MJ game I havent done that in a long time. Fun times! This coming week I walk again. And then NEXT week (end of June) I begin to do walk & runs too. Woohoo training continues :)
4. First Fathers Day with my dad in 5 yrs. And we cant eat with him cause he is going out to his fav place and its a bit costly ;) so eating out on our own but its nice to see him today which we havent. And give him a little gift :) Happy building dad! Got him a mini lego lighthouse (its tiny) and a gift card to B&N
5. I miss TN and AZ for their weather. Call me crazy but thunder storms, dust storms and blazing heat. I am NOT used to this lovely cool all year long weather in CA. Summers are a bit warmer but not that warm and its cold and cloudy about half the time. Will take me a LONG time to be used to this weather could be years sorry...
till next week!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 10th 2012)
1. Money has been SO tight lately. Not cause I am spending more but because I need a lot and the hours are so bad at work. I mean I am trying not to complain 20 plus hours is better then my 3 or 6 a week but I NEED and was planning on getting almost or more than 30 which I used to get back in 2007. I have so much I was saving for its and nearly impossible. Plus paying back for things like Rainbows ear stuff is killing me. Ugh. Praying hours pick up more soon or I dont know what I will do...
2. My reading hasnt been much anymore which is kinda sad. The moment I started working more and especially in the mornings was when my reading went down the drain. I do read when I can and force myself to read books due. But lots of my bks are going back and i have to wait to get them back out again which sucks. But I am trying. Like I am trying to get sleep when I am not really. Its harder to not get sleep when you get to this point in your life like I am age wise. Its just hard to only go on 5 or 6hrs of sleep and have to live on that for the whole day when your body craves 7 or 8 or more hours. I need 8 hrs or I feel bad 7 maybe but 6 (or less) is not fun...
3. I have worked a lot this past week. It feels more but still. I worked nearly every day last week spreading them out thinly. I even added a day (yesterday) which was great. I am hoping that in two weeks I can pick up a shift. They are giving us our schedules so far in advance I can see how my next check will be in 3 weeks! Which is good in many ways. I am hoping to switch a shif tomorrow for Wed but unsure if it will happen as manager hasnt approved it... My workouts have suffered too this week. I only did ONE and that was yesterday. Hoping even with lots of early shifts this week again I will still be able to fit in some workouts.
4. Planning to run/walk our (meaning my sister & me and hopefully 2 other plus people) a race in November. On the 3rd which is 21 wks from yesterday. Its only a 5K but you still need to train for these things. I dont want to go into it just walking the whole thing. Jogging is better then nothing so starting this week I need to at least start walking more like every other day and next week running somewhat again. Plus my Zumba and would love to do wiifit & my MJ game. On top of working and reading yeah busy busy :) Its called "Color Run" and it looks SO FUN! Need to plan and sign up before August 1st for one of the cheaper deals. Hoping a team will form so we can save even more $$$$ :))
5. Wow its June. A year ago at this time we had gone back home but we was out here the first week of June not even DREAMING we would be living out here months after. My favorite Summer was last year the interning thing. Dreaming of doing this again if I can just save up the money for it. One of the 3 things I'm saving for this Summer: money for gas/transportation to intern, new ipod, new computer. June is an interesting month. We recall Michael Jackson died on the 25th. I remembered my dog Cocoa's birthday on the 8th she would have been 24 that day if she was alive (she died at 13.5yrs on Dec 5th 2001). Rainbow turns TEN (where did the time go?) and the cats turn 4 (yikes!). Yeah thats June for you. Also will remember Patches & Princess birthday (the 28th) both now in heaven. This is the life of my pet children...I miss the ones gone and celebrate the ones here still.
Till next weekend...

Weekend 5 (Sunday June 3rd 2012)
Welcome to June, May was a long month wasnt it? For me at least...
1. I have managed to workout every other day this week. And that was with me actually going to work those days too. Just small things one Zumba and then a quick walk. On Friday when I didnt work for the first time in a week I did a long 45 mint Zumba and a longer walk. I still my wiifit and need to find a way to do it as well on my less active Zumba days. So hard to do both!
2. I've been working A LOT this week. And more next week. I am enjoying all the hours and days. I dont mind being gone all the time. I had two days off and didnt know what to do with myself. Friday was a nice rest but yesterday was hoping for a call in. So I spent the day not feeling like or doing anything really. Sigh.
3. My poor wrist started hurting on Thursday before work. So I had to put on my wrist band again. I hope its just carpal tunnel. It seems better so I'm keeping the band with me but off my wrist. Heres to hoping. I hated working like that but was on floor so it was okay just a bit ackward.
4. While my dogs ear is better, and her meds and pills are now done. The flowers are blooming the daisys and the sunflowers continue to grow. I feel bad for my sisters forget me nots as they need lots of shade and water which killed one from too much sun and now I dont know what to do with them. So I have been watering them and putting them inside or outside in the shade much as I can. No clue where we will plant them if they get to that stage since most of the yard gets lots of sun when its out all day long... sigh
5. Didnt do the Rock n Roll marathon volunteer AGAIN. Last year we bailed after we got down there. This time we just had to tell them we couldnt yesterday. I hated it. I really wanted to. But I wasnt giving the day off like I asked and my sister forgot to ask for it off. I needed the hours but still wish we could have. Maybe next year? Hoping...
thats all for now till next time.
