Happy Halloween!!
1. I have given up on Borders! They didnt call me at all again and I decided to NOT call them back. Maybe next year I will consider them again but for now I will be content with B&B and then look for a second job from there. Sorry Borders but if you dont want me I DONT want you either!!
2. Wednesday I was more than glad to try out an interview with Build a Bear. I never get why I dont get past the first one. Seriously they are strange! But it was in Scottsdale. We rode the Trolley inbetween and it was lots of fun! And FREE. Mel also had an interview. We were glad to be done. I made another interview with Gymboree this coming week but I may cancel. As of Friday they told me at BAB I wouldnt be getting that second interview.
3. Justice is giving me an interview on Tue same time Mel has one at Cracker Barrel. I'm very excited!! One of my top stores to work at. Plus they are at our mall so swining them and B&B would be just fine. Shall see how it turns out. I am praying for happy results
4. We have been Pirates all weekend long. First on Friday we went to our libraries family day as Pirates but didnt do much. Cute haunted house but mostly it for kids. On Saturday we dragged Rainbow down to Fountain Hills and had fun at this dog thing contest. Spent $5 for just one catagory would have loved to try 2 more of them. But sadly she didnt win. But we did match and I am happy to say I crossed their stage without tripping up, down or across. Rainbow not pooping was a bonus! :) Sad to not win still :(
5. Today on Halloween we did the Autsim Speaks Walk in Tempe Park Lake. Never seen the lake before. We had lots of fun. Glad we went! They even let us be one of the walkers for our part keeping an eye on the people. Didnt plan on that. I got a bit sunburned, we only did the 1mile not the 3 mile. It was exhausting and a bit hot. But we got to do it for FREE. We also got tons of FREE food and our FREE tshirts. I forgot till now that ORANGE is an AUTISM color! So we were decked out in our pumpkin glasses, orange shirts, I had on my bandana and my orange socks. Much fun. Of course we skipped church. And not going to church tonight. Going back home to relax.
thats all. Have a good one!!
Every weekend I write down the top 5 things that happened to me from the week it ends on (usually Sundays). Stole/borrowed the idea from author Sarah Dessen. Very fun!

Weekend 5-- October 24th 2010
Alright...
1. Tuesday we had our "visit" and it wasnt fun. I got about 2hrs of sleep. While I sat in the car with all the kids Mel was inside waiting for the guy to come. He came about 9:30am and boy was I tired. He took only about 30 mint total to be done. First he checked windows/and pipes. Then he fixed my sis toilet. When he gone we came in and I slept for about 4hrs good. We left later and went out shopping but didnt really do much else. Tiring day!!
2. But then on Tue night during our show I got a call: I got hired at Bath&Body. Yes sir I am hired!! I was in shock for real and SO glad. My training would be next day. I almost died of shock. Its still unreal for sure.
3. Wed was two things. I was doing my 4hrs of training with B&B. Then we went to the fair. It was supposed to rain but it didnt but for like 5 mint. It was so much fun. We each brought in our dollar first aid items. Then rode 3 rides each (at $1 each). Got our cheap pizza and later we split a funnel cake. We didnt play any games like planned hence the extra ride. The first thing was the skii lift type. Its like a big skii lift. It was so much fun being up there looking over the fair. Next up was the 15story ferris wheel. It was fast and cold but we liked it. Finally was the swings. Now we did the normal ones not the really high up ones but they left us wondering if the high up ones were as scary. It was going slow at first then sped up. Mel was behind me and hit my back. I held on for dear life. Yikes!! I was so dizzy too this never happens. That was the end of that. We also saw all the animals and went in the petty zoo. I even accidentally kicked a goat LOL ;) It was an accident and he OKAY.
4. We got our Harry Potter midnight showing tickets. Very excited finally got them. Thats for now next month. We got the 12:01am showing. Our first HP in an AMC theater movie very cool. We love AMC so glad they have them out here :)) Also got a Marie Calendar Pie for pie month. So good Double Blueberry cream. Havent had a MC pie since I'd say at least 2007 if not later. Nice!!
5. With a new restaurant opening our mall and a job interview another one for me this coming week shall be interesting. I dont have hours at B&B until at least next week I pray its not two more weeks I need to work!! But I did get paid so I will have at least around $30 sometime on the 5th of Nov. Crazy times indeed. Glad to say I have work. Its still hard to believe. May take sometime to sink in but its for real for sure :))
Thats all for now till next week...

Weekend 5 Oct. 17th 2010
Yeah....
1. Began the week out with going to the dentist. It was all I didnt and did expect and more. Cost $175. And truly I am not sure if that was for just the filling OR the one in the other part of the tooth as well. I didnt tell them I had a cavity there but if they filled them both so be it. Ever since my painful visit (which left me numb and winking my right eye for over an hour) all my other teeth have been hurting. You see... I NEED lots of dental work done. And well...truth be told I cant afford it. So this was all I got and all my other teeth arent happy at all :((
2. Tuesday was two things. My job interview at Bath & Body and finding out Lego AGAIN didnt hire me. Yup. In ONE week they got 5 people and didnt include me. As soon as the store opens (and after I give it time for them to see my app I just did online) this week I will be complaining come next month to Lego itself about how they are treating a former employee who both rehirable and a good employee with no problems in the past. Will it matter? Dont know. Either way I will be doing this cause its NOT right!!
3. Job interview at Bath & Body wasnt too bad. Except to hear they will be doing interview thru beginning of Nov (and I need a job NOW) and well its a short term job till end of January. I knew this possibly. I mean it would be a great second job. But a first one? Plus the girl didnt have the thing for seasonal help so I dont know if she asked enough questions for our group. I didnt get to answer any of her 3 questions cause the lady next to me took 2 answers. NO fair. Shall see. I also dropped off my 6 other job apps.
4. Lets see. No other jobs called me and since thats the fact I will be spending Mon & Tue calling back jobs (including Borders ugh). I am not happy. I am trying to be patient now knowing in the end I can only apply, call and interview and the rest is up to God. If I am to have the job I will GET IT no matter what. So only time will tell...but I pray its soon. We are edging up on the holidays and I will cry if I cant get people gifts for Christmas especially since I have had to skip three birthdays since moving with no gifts to give at all!! :((
5. Finally. I have a leak in my bathroom ceiling. We call and find out it will take 3 days to fix and it shouldnt be a problem. So we cancel them coming and then next day get a note we have an inspection coming up on Tue. Yup. They are coming to look at the pipes and windows?? Not good feelings about this and hiding things we shouldnt have. I dont think I shall sleep much at all and will need to rest after. Hope they come closer to 9 and not 5. Sheash
That is all till next time :)

Weekend 5 --Sunday October 10th 2010
Okay...
1. On the way home last Sunday I crunched down on a soft oatmeal cookie and actually took out one of my fillings in my teeth. Its in the front on a tooth has a cavaity in the front area. So I thought at the time my cavity had a hole and was finally really hurting. Nooo it wasnt. I didnt realize till Sun night that I had lost the filling. We rushed to Frys where I had to get cement to put in it and make an appointment Monday. Now I will be going to the dentist tomorrow. It doesnt feel good and I hate dentist so tomorrow doesnt make me happy.
2. Add to tomorrow is that my ceiling in my bathroom is leaking!! Ever since we moved in the ceiling looked "soft" but I hoped the problem would go away. Its right under our neighbors bathtub. Well lucky me. Yesterday I noticed a little water in the tub and turns out the ceiling is leaking. Now I gotta clear a path and tomorrow call them at the Office to send someone in to take care of it. NOT a fun thing to do after the dentist!! :((
3. Monday was an odd day. Not only did the dentist thing get moved around a lot. I got a call from Lego (by us) to interview on Tue and I made an appointment to interview with Borders on Thur. Mel later would on Tue get an appointment for an interview with Eddie Bauer also on Thur. So my interview with Lego was short. Hiring 5 people, only had my resume. I have NO idea where my application went. Now the mgr whom I was trying to work with for the other store is supposed to call people back. Ugh. Borders was another story all together. The manager told me that another guy would interview if he not there. So he wasnt there. But this guy didnt know I was coming, had to make up questions and didnt even know if they were hiring or what for if. I wanted the calendar kiosk which is CLEARLY not open yet in the mall. I'd take the store where he said they give 25 to 40 hrs a week and start off at $8 an hr which is more than I began with at Borders in 2007. So I dont know what will come from it...
4. We had crazy weather on Tue & Wed. Tue we had all these storms coming on top of each other. Lots of hail which AZ doesnt usually see especiallly not this time of year. And believe it or not some hail was so bad it was golf sized hail. Glad we didnt have hail by us just lots of pounding rain. Ugh. And Wed they had 5 tornados touch down north of Phoenix up by the Flagstaff area. Unbelievable!! Then you hear they get 4 a year average but not all at once. Its just crazy stuff. I'm glad not near us. This week is lots of sun and mid 90's. I love the cooler weather. At night its in the 60's.
5. I am missing TN a lot latelly. All kinds of things. I miss the weather, the trees, the kiosk, our friends, work, borders, going online at different places, our friends at the library. Dont get me wrong. I love lots of stuff about AZ but without jobs and so new here its not hard to believe that we arent used to this area yet. Soon. It could take a while. We are a month with a few days till parents come. The place isnt together yet. Out here 12 wks and yet still we arent in the right place. So yeah...I miss TN sometimes
till next time...

The Weekend 5 October 3rd 2010
Okay then...
1. Monday we went back to the Scottsdale Fashion Square. It was a lot of fun. This time around I talked to two places Bath & Body and Victoria Secrets both hiring and will be doing call backs this week. If I dont hear from them by Tuesday trust me I will be calling them. I actually talked to the managers which is a good thing!
2. I gave up on Lego. I tried of course to call them Monday but phone issues made me think I should just let them come to me or not go to them at all. Its the truth. I am sick of trying to get to them and having them push me away. If they call me I am fine but if not I am trying to let it go. But its really hard to do so.
3. Great message at church today made me wonder why ADD is never addressed at church. You might not get it but its really hard to have ADD and be a Christian. Its hard to remember things you learned, or even learn things when you are always forgetting. Its something I struggle with daily. I think someone should write on a book on it. Maybe that person will be me and my sister or just her. And no matter what it should be addressed. Christians have ADD too!
4. We saw the movie on the owls you know the one I think they called "The Guardians". Well its a great series and a nice movie. We saw the non-3D version. It only cost us $5.25 each its a great price for AMC love it!! Wondered after why the 6 previews all were about 3D flicks. But cant wait for Harry Potter.
5. Well its been 11wks since we moved here, its October and still no jobs. I dont know what God is doing. But in the end I am trying to learn He is in control and will work things out for us His way. And just to rest in Him till it comes to pass. Till then praying for support for our money and how to keep going. Its not easy but we do try
Thats all for now...till next weekend
