The Weekend 5 (Sunday, March 27th 2016)

Happy Easter. Welcome to the last one of these for March. I know I cant believe it either. I was so looking forward to this month so much happened but its gone in a blur. While February crawled by THIS month did not. Wow. How about you?

1. The Hot Chocolate 5K was a blast once again. Our 4th year doing this, 3rd year doing the 5K. The day before on Saturday was such a rush that I didn't fully get to enjoy the whole thing. Which major sucked but the timing was off and such couldn't be helped. Sunday traffic was so bad for parking it took us over a half hour to get a place and ended up parking in a store lot blocks from where we were supposed to be, didn't pay because it didn't charge but bad side of town. Scary but we had no choice. We so late we were using the outhouses and they had done 2 letter sets before we got there. As always we last set G so still had time but not much. I had to pin my number on while standing there and barely got pictures before we took off. Walked the whole thing came in over an hour it was exhausting and my poor knee still hurts from it. But still fun! After we did Dunkin Donuts then came home and crashed and slept for 3 full hours of nice. I was so tired it was a fun time no complaints loved it.

2. Work was very slow last week. But I did work more than the week before. Last week I only worked 3 days due to the race. They cut my hours for reasons I don't get the race shouldn't be the reason! I only worked 13 hours while the week before 4! That sucked. This coming week hours aren't much better. I am once again relying on UE for one week the week before the race when I only worked just over 4 hours. Poo. Need a new job. Coming up to my 2 years with the company in a few days and still I am here sigh.

3. No school this week I was on Break but it was fun! I mean not going to school... Still I had my homework to do and just finished up that. And starting up 2 more online classes that look to be both very busy and very interesting I hope. I hope I pass them all ok I will try my hardest I promise. Cheers.

4. Did my first day of volunteering for the library last week. I came in on Wednesday. I learned a bit about publisher and then helped out with the teen book club. It was different as I wont be able to do that anymore as I normally in school Wednesdays. So I had a fun 3.5 hr time. I will be back again this week hurrah.

5. Today marks 4 years exactly since the 2 dogs from across the street attacked me and my dog. Tried to kill her tried to eat her while I held her above my head and the owner finally got them away. It could have ended so much worse so I am grateful still nothing bad happened. Thanks to Facebook updates I found this out it had been 4 years. Scary day never want to repeat.

till next week and APRIL have a good one. April will be a bit less exciting but still has something to it. Still feels odd Easter is gone and now no major holidays for a long time. Have a nice week everyone!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, March 20th 2016)

Welcome to the first day of Spring!! We are finally here aren't we? Been a long cold winter and we are back in warmer temps. But honestly the weather we are seeing it seems like Winter still. If not here then other places. Haha. But welcome Spring.

1. This week marks 7 years since our smaller tornado. It was about a month before the bigger one that actually almost hit us. This one hit the boys and girls club near by and the theater we never used and almost a few other eating places. The stories we heard after. But I had NO idea that day it was a tornado. We had severe thunder storm warnings and I was home alone with ALL the pets: 4 cats & 1 dog. Alone. So I am glad we were okay and I had no idea what happened.

2. School this week last before Spring break yeah! It was an oddly slow few days. On Monday we watched our projects that I still have no idea what grade I got sadly. But still got to show them off. After seeing so many I realize the way I did mine was way different so I hope I got a good grade. Online class is okay. I start a few more classes next week so that should be fun I hope. Ha. But anyways that is school. Off for this coming week

3. Workouts this week I did TWO real workouts. 45min each time and each one included 4 times me jogging/running for 1min. I threw in an extra minute on Friday. Then the race is today and well that is for next week. But yeah I prepared best I could for the race and that is all that counts right?

4. We set the clocks ahead an hour now we are enjoying our extra day light. NO complaints that it now gets dark at almost 7:30 the sun sets at 7 like that. On Thursday St Paddy's Day I went with my mom for a drive it was fun by the beach. Sure we saw no pelicans but had fun and a nice change since my sister was working and we didn't do nothing fun. Now it is Spring so that is nice. Looking forward to all the things Spring brings.

5. Work this week was NOT BUSY! I asked for Sunday and Saturday off this weekend and so I lost all these hours. I worked last Sunday and then nothing again till tomorrow (Monday) that is SO ODD! My job could have easily given me hours Tuesday, Thursday or Friday. But gave me barely under 5hrs last Sunday then nothing. Poo. Not much next week either. I need a new job BADLY!

That is all for now. Hope you have a nice week. Next weekend last of this month and it is Easter. How is that possible? Crazy stuff. Till next weekend see you all then. Good night!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, March 13th 2016)

How is it raining again on Sunday night? For real? I cant believe it is raining again. I'm still gonna have to go to school tomorrow in my boots aren't I? I did this last week on Monday it was zero fun. Sigh.

1. Weather is my number one pain so I am bringing it up. Yes we need the rain. So I am not complaining but still am too. Yes we need it but why does it come when it is most annoying to me personally? I mean yes I get it. Next weekend would be worse. But still. Rain why are we getting off on the wrong foot?

2. Wow the Sprinter is 8 years old as of March 9th. Hard to believe this lovely piece of whatever it is made of has been around so long. It came when we not here. And for nearly 2 years I have been riding it. The 9th also marked 7 years since my lovely school CSB closed. Sadly our opened only for a few days then gone again. I got my demo I had been working MONTHS on but never got a radio demo out of it. Sadness. I wonder often how different life would have been had they never closed like they did...

3. Workouts this week NOPE. And that is not a good thing. We are one week from our race. Less than. A week from now it will be done. Yes Hot Chocolate fun is coming soon. Cant wait! Yes I cant wait! Just sadly never trained for it. I will try to throw in a few long walks this week nothing fancy but that is all I can do.

4. Work this week has been BUSY. I worked THREE shifts of 8 hours of length. And 2 shorter ones. I am coming in this week alone around 28 hours. Insanity. This is not me. I do not get this many hours. This week not so much so enjoy it while I can. Still yes. Big check. I needed this and I am getting it. Money for the race money for my school books for my fast track in 2 weeks. Yes yes. Thank you. I still need a better real job. Full time. Not retail prefer.

5. School this week. We had a test on Monday unsure how I did hope to find out soon. And Wednesday turned in our first project. I hope I did great on both and will find out tomorrow I guess. Yup. It was fun editing that one. I hope the next project is fun too.

That is all for now. It is super late and I still have a ton to do. Till next weekend. Have a good one. Stay dry. And eat chocolate!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, March 6th 2016)

Welcome to March. Cant believe we are in this month. So much happening this month. St Pattys Day, our Hot Chocolate Race, Spring, Day Light Savings, Easter. That is one full month!

1. School this week was fun. I had fun learning to edit my new pieces and put my music to the way they move. I cant wait to continue. This coming week I am calling library back. No library calling means I don't know. I need to figure it out. Hope for answers asap. I did drop my ENGLISH 100 class. That is my big news. Yeah. It was time. It was only getting harder. My paper I got a C I was getting a mid C in the class with still 2 more essays and 4 more smaller papers. I wasn't learning much but how to be annoyed by taking tons of notes that get graded and then learning to write essays for college again. I am okay with this. It is fine. Life moves on.

2. Work kept me busy for sure this week. Yup. I worked on Sunday almost 5 hours. I almost got late coming home to see the Oscars no fun. I worked in the morning on Tuesday and again on Thursday. Both days yup. Inbetween I was in school. Worked a long shift on Saturday glad to be done with that. Busy. This coming week busy again began today yup continues.

3. It has been 7 years since we went to Chattanooga. That was such a fun trip. Took place on March 5th. I had my flip camera by then and we got to see ruby falls and go hiking in rock city. And see the Aquarium. I will never regret that trip one of my favorite things we ever did while we lived in TN.

4. Workouts this week nope. I went on a walk on Friday barely. We are 2 weeks now from our race and I haven't trained. I cant do anything about this. Still trying to get over getting sick. Been working a lot. It is just hard to train for a race when I am so busy all the time. And I haven't even started my volunteering yet!

5. Rained last night more rain today. And more tomorrow. Havent seen rain weeks so this is a good change. I am just glad it cooled down when I not working. We had one down pour today but more over night. And more tomorrow shall see

that is all for now. I am going to go. Homework to do and such. Till next week have a nice week see you then. Stay dry!!
