The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 30, 2014)

Last one of these for November. Month has flown by. Hasn't been easy. I've been trying to be thankful when it has been hard. But we made it through the end. One month left of 2014 wow that is crazy! And on with the show...

1. School not really this week so this is my first one. We are on "break" although I do have a paper to write due tonight the 30th. Otherwise I have had no school and no classes. Sadly cant register still for my MCC till the 8th of Dec and will be lucky to take even 1 class since both have wait list I want and cant do more than 1 wait list. Lame I know.

2. Work has been busy crazy stuff. But not as much. I worked Sunday an opening. Then I escaped again not till Friday again on Black Friday. I worked a closing it was nuts. Not like busy but cleaning up was nuts there was so much mess happening glad that good. Glad today last day of our sales from BF because not the best day today glad that done. I do work tomorrow part of next weeks lots of hours week.

3. Workouts not really. I did a walk this week and that was it. I haven't felt myself and been sleeping bad. I hope I am okay I don't think I am sick maybe its allergies but still no fun. I did walk to the Spring on Sunday and today.

4. I did another LEGOLAND interview on Monday and it was pointless as can be. I did retail maybe that was my issue. Maybe not telling them I have a job was the problem. I am unsure what the problem was. Either way still not hired on the spot and I even gave them full availability so that was not the issue. I guess I should stick with admission or attractions which is what I will do in the Spring see if I can try again. I really need a job not retail anymore I am kind of over it and really hope to get out of retail asap.

5. Thanksgiving was lots of good food! My uncle came over. We had dinner and it was wonderful. Did turkey left overs the past two days. It has been a long thankful month but I am thankful for the little things like school, work, my family, pets, God taking care of us. I try to be thankful all year long even if its not easy.

Well that is all for now. I turn in my NaNo tonight. I have one day left to write. NOT easy doing this all month while school and work. Seriously thee most stressful November since I began these back in 2008. So I am glad to finish another book unsure if this will become a published book. I liked the first one but this one felt like I was pulling at strings and they weren't to be pulled. Starting to wonder if I should ever write a series. How do authors do it? Two was horrible sometimes but several more? More props to authors of series they ARENT easy at all! Well that's all. See you in December!!!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 23, 2014)

Hey there! 1 more of these in November weird. Been writing my book, going to school and working. And what are your plans this week? Thanksgiving is coming! Black Friday (I care not for) and all that jazz. And then we say good by next weekend to November for good. The last part of this year is really taking off.

1. Workouts this week just 1 on record sorry. Things happen. But I did manage one real workout. This time was Zumba, walk and bike. Zumba wiped my butt. I was so sore. I felt like 20 minutes was that 20 minutes too much. So I am unsure why that made me so tired. But glad I tried. This week isn't looking too promising for workouts. I have plans now on Monday, Wednesday can do something but Friday I work in the evening. C'est la vie haha.

2. Work is going okay. Yup okay. Hours kinda not fun this week. I worked on Sunday a closing. Then I only worked Friday a 4hr and Saturday a 4.5hr. I am used to full shifts so these small ones were flying by. I did enjoy not closing I love that. One more opening today (Sunday). I close on Black Friday and open Saturday. Unsure after that HOPE my schedules up soon! But yeah work is work.

3. School we did our last class on Wednesday. I almost shed a tear. Sure we come back on the 3rd (off this week for Thanksgiving 'break'). We filmed my script and it turned out so much more different than I pictured. But I was just glad to get that over with get the spotlight off me. And again I wonder how I will make it in this business if I am going to do this for a living I gotta get used to this. So yeah that. Online is going okay. Glad for a week off soon. I still have homework tonight (Sunday). Then nothing this week till next weekend! But I still will be busy doing a paper for another class. College papers=no fun ever!

4. Weather has been odd. Finally cold enough for blankets at night and less fan time. Then warm again during the day. Oh and rain which pops up at odd times on odd days. Never will figure out California weather. I miss cold nights, snow, real seasons. This part of the state will never see things I have seen when I did not live here. Love you Nashville!

5. Well Thursday I went down for a LEGOLAND job thing. And I didn't get hired because I didn't give them full availibity. Yes they are finally letting me come in again for interviews TWO years since last worked there. I am grateful for that. I am trying again Monday for a different department and telling them I can work any time. Then try to work THAT around my current job. If they did hire me and kept me after holidays I would say good bye to my current job. So anyways wish me luck. I try again tomorrow-Monday.

That is all from me. I am actually writing this Saturday night but posting it Sunday online link. Have a good week. See you next Sunday. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 16th 2014)

Welcome to the half way point of the month of November. I am still in school, writing my book for NaNo and trying to get sleep. How you doing?

1. School has been okay but it is almost done! Crazy! This past week at class we began to work on my script I wrote. It is so weird watching them perform stuff I wrote. Yes I wrote that. It might suck (but who cares right?) but it is all me! They film this week. And then we are done. We are off for Thanksgiving break then on the 3rd come back to watch the final 4 shows, eat food and relax. NO final for this class! Online is going okay. I am unsure if I will pass all my classes at this point. I am already signed up for classes at Palomar. I cant do Mira Costa till Dec 8th unsure why (I couldn't do it till 28th as I didn't have enough $$ for the fee). But still. Hope I survive these classes okay and pass them all

2. Work this week has been crazy. I got a lot of hours. I worked a closing on Sunday. A mid on Thursday (LONG day), and two more closings. I also closed tonight but that isn't part of my week. My hours are dropping still and I am unsure why which truly sucks. It is the holidays and I need extra $$ for gifts. Sigh. Hope they pick up soon. But work is work blah.

3. Workouts I did 1 real one awesome. I used the wiifit and boy was I sore after it was for sure a real workout. I also did a small walk before. It gets dark earlier so I had to do that before not after which normally would have. This week I might do two workouts. I don't work Thursday so I can do one Tuesday & Thursday. Exciting!

4. The weather is so odd. It is finally cold not hot. Which is great. Then it goes and rains randomly few nights ago in the middle of the night. But time we got up it was gone. So weird is our weather. I miss fall and winter real seasons that this part of the country we don't get...

5. Kinda hard to believe we are in the 3 year mark for moving into this house. Weirdness. I just also realized this is about the time we moved to OS from our house in Anaheim in 2006. So 8 years later and here we still are. Different house but still. Weird times. Moving is odd weird and odd too.

Well that is all for now. Sorry this is a bit late. I had homework due by midnight I did first. Till next week see you soon!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 9th 2014)

Welcome to the 2nd one of these in November! The month is flying by. Before you know it we will be in December than 2014 is gone. Longest year of my life I swear so much stuff… I may need a review at the end here haha.

1. This last week the 3rd marked 7 years since our move to our new apartment in TN. We left on the 3rd and checked in by the 8th. It is hard to believe that something that meant so much to us then and still does it gone and done with. It was the scariest thing I have ever done. A true leap of faith. Taking all our stuff, our pets and moving without jobs without rent past the first month. We had faith and God took care of us every step of the way. I look back and wonder how we made it without much gas or not getting much sleep. Insanity is strange, being young is strange. I will never regret our move. I only regret leaving I miss it so much. I truly do. We left behind so much leaving in 2010 we left behind friends, jobs and all that we came to love about the music city country area of Nashville. I will always be a southern girl at heart.

2. Work this week has been crazy. I worked last Sunday. And then I worked Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I did a mid on Sunday. Followed by an opening on Thursday and two closings. I close again tonight but we are in the new work week so I never count it even if I write these on Sundays. My weekend is always Mon-Wed. Although next semester I will have a different schedule (classes Tue-Thur). Work is getting into Christmas mode. We have had Christmas music playing (not all the time its mixed in) since November 1st. We have a new section, lots more toys. Its no BIG toy store but it something else to see for sure.

3. Workouts not so much. I had one day of workouts and it was a walk only again. But I loved getting out. I even did some bike after and my knees thanked me. They have been feeling funny forever and a day and I was like nice. But I wish I could keep it up. I don’t know how I did this in TN. We used to work, I still worked out before work (mostly on the wiifit) and didn’t sleep much but still I did stuff. I feel so lazy around here. I am totally serious.

4. School is going alright so close to done. Registering soon for classes this week I hope for all of them both schools. Shall see for sure but I hope to get in what I want and some I missed out on last semester. I also hope to pass all my currents. I think doing so many online is really throwing me through the loop. My one in person is almost done. This coming week we practice my tv show and gulp next week film it. Then we are off for Thanksgiving (yikes it is coming!) and then on Dec 3rd we watch our shows, get copies of dvds and enjoy food. Than no final and done. I have ONE real final in person for Sociology followed by a few online ones. Exciting. Not just kidding. I love school its just stressful and takes all my time and energy. I hardly read for fun anymore and mostly do homework daily to keep up. That and work really keep me busy

5. I had two medical things this week neither of them fun. On Monday I went down to the dentist in Escondido to get my bad tooth looked at. Unlike the one in Oceanside they didn’t take my blood pressure they just did x-rays of the tooth. The good news is I can get it out as soon as December. The bad news? The tooth in front of it with the big filling (This one I lost the filling way back when we in Orange County by chewing on taffy NEVER again!) well if I get the tooth out BUT don’t get a root canal done on that one and crown I will just start chipping that tooth away again when I chew on it. So I can get the tooth out and still not chew on it or I can just deal. Cause I don’t got $1700 NOT kidding to get that root canal done on my own as dentical only covers so much. NO fun. So for now I am just trying to get my gums to stop swelling or get a deep cleaning if I have to and not do much more. Sigh. On Friday I was at work and I have NO idea what happened. But I suddenly got so dizzy I almost fainted I really did. I think I am anemic a little bit. I left work after only 2.5hrs. I felt bad leaving but worse staying. I was okay after I sat down but still felt funny. I went home and just rested, got more sleep and was okay yesterday. It was still embarrassing everyone yesterday asking how I was and I was wondering how many people knew about it? They understood. I’ve been there 8 months never left early never called out. I do not do this but felt I should. Scary stuff! Glad I didn’t faint sheash.

Well that is all for now. I am super busy today. I work, come home and write my novel for nano. I am really running behind on this but hope to catch up this week. I had so much going on I am doing my best. Well off I go. See you next weekend! Our half way point of the month!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 2nd 2014)

Welcome to November. Hard to believe we are just 2 months from end of one of the longest oddest years of my life. This week has been its own crazy.

1. We got some actual rain in the past few days. It rained some on halloween night then it kept up off and on for two days. It rained mostly in the evening on Saturday when I was off work then while we slept last night. Got up today all clear out. So for now rain all gone. Our drought isnt over of course but every drop counts right?

2. Halloween it didnt not feel like it. We didnt get a big pumpkin (my sister got a tiny one we didnt decorate it came pre decorated with paint and hair). I worked so did my sister so no one gave out candy. Didnt even go out for half off candy. Got some next day but not the same thing. So I worked and there you go. How was yours?

3. Workouts this week not really. I did go on a walk one time. I walked at work and to the sprinter but not much else. This week does not promise to be much different. Oh well.

4. Work this week yup. I worked last Sunday than Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Glad today yesterday both not closings. I get enough of those. I dont work again till Thursday so there you go. And getting crazy till Christmas gonna be nuts. Kinda glad I am not at the actual toy store I bet its worse.

5. School this week I made it so that was good. I am doing okay online just overwhelmed a lot. Taking it one day at a time. One step at a time.

Well that is all for now. Busy week done. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow hope I get answers on when can get tooth out. Till next week have a good one
