Weekend 5 (Sunday, April 28th 2013)
So long April this my last entry for this month. HOPING May brings better days and greater news...
1. April is going away as of 2 more days. This month was kinda fast which shocked me. I didnt get a lot of good news. No one did. But I am hopeful that May will bring better news. There is a lot going on next month. Movies to see, remembering a death in the family, mothers day. Plus trying to do the zoo and the aquarium. I am trying to be more organized so I am hoping to be closer to some good news ASAP
2. The weather has been mostly beautiful this week. Some days were more warmer then others. This next week will hit 80's as we enter May. Very nice. The only difference was on Wednesday. It was cloudy all day nothing unsual. Until night hit and thunder rolled in. Off & on we had thunder, lightening, and then some rain. It went on for about 2hrs not bad. I missed it when it left. Nice change. On Friday got to enjoy a walk on the pier in downtown by the beach. What a nice day it was. Had a fun time viewing the ocean and the beach from high up.
3. Workouts this week havent been much. My biggest workout was on Wed when I left the house for reasons dont care to mention. Anyways. I walked 45 min to the starbucks by us (really not a bad length of time). Had a coffee and came back. That is the longest I have ever done for a workout almost 2hrs. Before this was an hr and it including some running in too. This week shall see if I can get a few real workouts in. But I always aim for walks every other day whenever possible.
4. My toothaches have been getting sadly worse. I cant go to a dentist of course but the pain sucks. Some days I feel none. But if I get really tired for a few days or a lot in one day my bad tooth the worst of the two I chipped off when I bit down between 2011 & 2012 will hurt so bad for hours that makes my whole head hurt and I end up crying. It got so bad on Monday the worst yet and I thought it would never end. It makes my silver tooth hurt too that worries me. I tried advil last night for a more minor just silver tooth ache and it didnt help me. So I am on my own when the pain rolls in. I just have to try to not get too tired or I will be sorry
5. Jobs this week have been more interesting. On Tuesday I interviewed for Disney Store. A job I wanted till I heard they only give you 4hrs a week with a lot of on calls. Its okay come Wed they told me I didnt get it. Then yesterday I had another interview with Childrens Place. I will know next week when I do or dont get it. But the hours wouldnt be great there either. I can hold out for LL its just another few days if they hiring I can apply they will respond. May is almost here.
Till next weekend and May begins

Weekend 5 (Sunday, April 21st 2013)
One more Sunday left this month for real!?
1. Since its still on my mind nearly a week later. The thing that happened in Boston is the first thing I wanted to talk about. I am sad about Texas too dont get me wrong I am keeping both areas in my prayers. But Boston is something else. I have been volunteering along with my sister since 2008 at races. So when this happened I thought about all the races I had done, how this could have happened at any of them. How those people hurt could have been volunteers! And how I could have been in a race like this. Races mean a lot to me. They bring people together to celebrate. I would love to see the Boston race someday in person I could never dare to run it. Either way the sad events hurting something I love both as a volunteer and sometimes runner (of 5K's) really affected me. I am thinking about you Boston city I havent seen yet. And praying for you all!
2. The weather has been pretty awesome this week. Had a few times this week at least twice where it hit above 80* outside. I have my fan out and have used it the past few days. I love the cooler air but I love the warmer weather too. Enjoyed a nice day today at The Avocado Festival in Fall Brook. First of all it wasnt that special. If we had come say earlier not at the last hour maybe. But to us it was just a bit street fair like in DT Oceanside. People selling stuff. Sure it included avocado's and I wish I had $5 for 25 at once. All we ended up buying was splitting a lemon aid and getting a $1 ice cream pineapple same kind they have at disneyland. They made floats too. Well it almost over so they sold it cheap and we got to try it! Awesome! Got a few free things nothing special. The walk to and from was too far. And we didnt walk the whole thing as they closing up there was no point. But took some pictures. And best of all we got to see Fall Brook an area I have never been to before and now can say I have. What a cute little town. I am unsure about avocado fudge or honey. But there you go.
3. Last Tuesday got a free meal at Sprouts. They been doing them all month every Tuesday. Just didnt see the sign till this last week. Plan to return this coming Tue and the last Tue of the month. You get for free: cheeseburger OR hotdog and some chips, a bottle of water. They play music like an actual DJ is there and have tables set up. What fun. And the burger was excellent better then the ones we got at Burger King day before!
4. Workouts this week no thank you. I havent done anything really. A small walk here and there. I think I went out twice. And the walks were less then more. I am okay. I am hoping and I mean it HOPING this week to start real workouts. Not tomorrow (we taking dog down for her shots) but Wed and Fri. I dyed my hair last week finally so that threw off my workout/shower schedule.
5. Jobs have been more eventual then I thought. UE sent me my paperwork I asked for it on Monday, came on Thur, mailed on Fri. I hope they pay me by Tue. I have an interview that lasted 5min at American Eagle. And I have another one this coming week on Tue with Disney. I hope for MANY MORE or at least a few and be paid on time. May is coming and then LL will look at me again so I am hoping by this time come next month to be working again somewhere! Please?!
Till next weekend last one in April

Weekend 5 (Sunday, April 14th 2013)
Half way through April HARD to believe!! :O
1. The weather was beautiful this week. Wonderful. Sunny and warm. I loved it. Then yesterday and today been gloomy and cloudy and cooler. But I actually like it too. Its different not the norm more like June gloom in April typical CA weather especially near the coast. But it makes for nicer times sleeping at night, good walks in the evening. And hey there you go! This weather reminds me of another thing this week. I recalled 4 years since the bad tornado in Murfreesboro April 10th 2009. I wont put all the details here. But it was not a fun day. Hiding in the bathroom me, my sister and our 5 pet kids. Scary stuff. I am just grateful that God kept us okay and the tornado that came the closest ever came to us while out there, didnt turn and hit us. I have to believe from living out there. That God knows what we can handle. If we could have handled it hitting us at any time in the near 3 years we there it would have happened. It never did so we couldnt handle it. Nature is both scary and beautiful. It became a part of life tornados and thunder storms. I miss the t-storms I dont miss the scares of tornados but still want to *see* one someday in person (I am strange I know lol)
2. Workouts this week sucked. I did a few walks every other day almost. It was okay. I should be back to wiifit, zumba or even some jogging by now. Nope. It wasnt the best week all around. We did manage to see "The Host" on Tue. Excellent movie played well like the book. I loved it a lot! And do recommend it. I continue to read the book should be done with it by next weekend :) (I read it back in 2009 and want to own the movie version soon as I can!)
3. Jobs while I dont have any yet ha I had some news. Last Monday The Mission called me but never set up an interview as the day I couldnt do it didnt work and they never called me back. Unsure why. I went to two malls for job apps in person. I also have a good handful of places I need to apply to online. On Tue I went to the Carlsbad Outlet while my sister worked at LL. I applied at 4 places, plus had coffee, panda express, read some of my book and hung out. I didnt get any sleep so it was a tiring day for me and we did the movie later. On Friday I went back to our mall the one I used to work at last season at HF/DT. Well they had more places to apply for. I tried to apply to all the places hiring at least I wanted to apply to 11 places (well 13 but 2 had no app's I'm supposed to print them online and apply that way). I applied to 8. Most were hiring. I am hopeful! I also had coffee and cheap food at mcdonalds. I miss that mall it wasnt a bad day and my ipod survived and came home with me I guard that thing so carefully now especially at the scene of the crime from the last one! As far as UE. I filled out my paperwork wrong. On Mon they sent it back I sent it back on Tue. And got paid finally on Thur. That was the good news. The bad is they didnt send my paperwork for filling out for this last two weeks. Its NOT the same thing as what they paid me for so its not right. Now if they dont send by tomorrow I have to call them. I do not look forward to this. Both my checks in April were important. IF this one is late I will be in bad shape. My dog needs her shots done by the 23rd and her license paid by the 30th. I have a friend I am mailing her bday package before end of month. And I want to have money to buy my ticket for midnight showing of Iron Man 3. All depending on the check I wont get now till end of the week if they send by tomorrow :(
4. I am SO tired today. I got 3hrs sleep last night. We had to do church in the morning not Saturday night because my sister worked. Unless someone switches her next weekend will have to repeat. I do have to agree it was fun with all the treats we got before church and coffee. The Pastor was hyper more than usual but still. Tue I didnt sleep at all so its been affecting me all week. My tooth the worst of the two I bit down on 2011 & 2012 till I got a cheap mouthguard was hurting VERY badly Thur and all of Fri. I am glad it didnt hurt Sat. I need to get some advil to see if that helps me. I am thinking it was partly because I was so tired. I was suffering with tired headaches all week too. I need to get back to getting sleep. My body now needs 8 to 9 hours to be okay. Below 8 and I feel it. But not sleeping one day and less sleep rest of week really didnt help. More sleep will be a good thing
5. RIP goes out to my old laptop. While its still alive and isnt dead fully. It has gone possessed now and we cant sign in it. I thought it was a fluke on Fri night when after a few days of not use my sister said she couldnt sign on it. I went on yesterday and nothing works. Its got a new weird sign in box. "Other User" and I dont know who they want me to sign in as because my names dont work. Even in safemode. IF I had known this would come so soon I would have dedicated more time this week to getting flipvideos off. I am SO SAD if I cant get them off :( I can try my external hard drive again but no promises. I will have lost several videos then including christmas 2010 (I believe) and especially our trip to CA in 2011 the beach, legoland, etc. I was in the middle of moving those when I stopped and now I cant anymore. I am beating myself up over this. I cant do anything and I cant afford for it to be fixed. I am unsure how much it would cost but it could be thousands of dollars to fix it. I hope thats not true but I am unsure. In TN we priced a place to get the hd off my old laptop (before this one and the one thats dying) because I cracked the screen. It would have been $100. I wish we could have just done that at least for that one. I had no idea we would move back to CA where every place is costly. I hope they exist cheap places out here or I will be screwed. Things I try to not think about...
OK for now I am done! This week will be interesting but nothing exciting not even a movie. Maybe apply at another mall and try to start bike riding again shall see! And hope UE sends paper by tomorrow... till next weekend!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, April 7th 2013)
Welcome to APRIL! It truly is my favorite month for several reason: I love spring, I love even numbers and April is the ONLY month fully in *SPRING* that is an even number :)
1. Unemployment this week has been a PAIN. They made me send it on Monday not Saturday (even though I usually finish the 10 spots for 2 weeks worth before Saturday). Then they didnt pay me. I have to wait 10 days to call them. This is the first time they ever went more than like 5 days since sent out to pay me the latest before this was a Thursday. So as of Friday nothing. They dont pay you on the weekend. I called Friday and its still "current" so its just not paid just late dont know why. Really makes me mad when you count on the money and you havent been paid in 2 weeks its not even a lot of money to just not give me it on time is really really annoying! I dont have any jobs calling me none this week at all. Its rare to be called. I now use snagajob, craigslist and careerbuilder. You'd think I would have a job by now. May is coming LL will give me a chance again and I wonder in the end if the reason I am not working is because I am supposed to be back with them...sigh
2. The weather was beautiful all week. Today we decided to go to the beach. Well it didnt turn out like we hoped. Besides getting worren out walking one way up the beach and back. My sister lost her flip flop it fell out of her bag. Where did it fall out? Not close to where we stopped to walk on the pier but didnt. No. It fell out where we turned around. So we had to walk that beach TWICE. I found it just as she had given up. It was wet and sandy which means it had fallen out and been beat up by the ocean but it had not been taken out THANK GOD for that one! After we got that and decided the pier wasnt happening. Found out for the first time ever we were locked out of the jeep. After waiting over 30 min our parents brought the spare. Got to try a yogurt place we always pass to and from the movie theater which was fun. Mostly to get warm. And there ya go. Odd ball Sunday!
3. Workouts this week not really anything. Unless you count my walk on the beach four times (back and fourth twice) then I did 2 walks this week. While walks are beautiful and wonderful I am glad for them. Its not runs. Its not the wiifit, or zumba. I need to get back into workouts this week starting Thursday as Tuesday will be out all day. I have gotten back to being lazy since the races are done for now. Which is bad because we could try to do a race in like 2 or 3 months I need to be staying in shape somewhat so I can just start training not starting at ground zero, again, like I had to in January after not doing anything November or December.
4. Well the LL hotel is up and running. Wow. I cant believe it. I watched that thing being built in 2011 and 2012. And not only did I not get a job at it because they are ignoring me till May. But I wasnt working the park at all. Rejected twice. I do not like that. I hope the hotel brings lots of money and people in. Maybe more hours for us who work there or want to! Also the 5th was a memory I dont care to share that happened to me 7 years ago. It was a good day I dont regret it at all just how I acted that changed something with someone greatly after it was done...
5. We did the Safari Park for the first time with our passes on Tuesday. Its been nearly a year since we last came. We did it for free last year in May after volunteering at the race. This time we used our passes. We stayed around 5hrs came in at 2 left at 7 when they closed. And fun was bringing our favorite cousin Jenny! Yeah :) We didnt see all the park but go to see a lot. Got to ride the tram. She did the zip line thing we watched her do that. I wouldnt ever want to do that but I wouldnt mind doing something extra next time we go. (Our next date is probably in May the zoo again with my sisters friend). Honestly if we had more money, lived closer I am sure we would be using our passes several times a month isnt of once a month if lucky...
till next weekend. Long boring week ahead. Hope tomorrow my UE is here, and Tuesday we are seeing a movie and I'm getting out to apply for jobs so theres that...
