2 weeks worth in one felt better this way...
1. Last week I did not work AT ALL. I was due to work just one day on Monday when it got cancelled because of bad rain that caused LL to be closed. Mel got to go on to her job I was left at Target, and taken back home. It was not a good day. I was not called in one time and I was free to work Thur-Sun. I was hoping maybe something would happen this past week. And it did. God gave me a FULL day of work way plus on what I was to have the Monday before. I worked 7hrs 10 mint. I was going to get 4hrs 30 mint. Wow! I have worked every day this week. This being the first time this week I havent worked. It was hours spread out. It ends my two weeks of work pay so my check on the 30th will rock! I love my job. I am going to be SUPER sad if I dont work anymore after the 9th.
2. Last week we had rain for a few days. This week we had wind. The weather out in California in the winter is so odd. Yes this is me speaking from NOT being in California this time of year for 5 yrs. Its still all strange to me... I miss snow, I miss 0 temps and not being able to feel myself when I go outside. I even miss sleeping with a heater, in several layers and still not being able to stay warm. I'm strange but this California girl will always miss the cold probably the rest of my life!
3. I turned 32 omgosh yes I did on the 20th. I almost did this blog last weekend before my latest birthday. I am so confused as to why so much had to change between 31 and 32 and how most wasnt good but bad. Yes. God may have some great plans for me between 32 and 33. I pray they are good plans and good things and nothing major like: a move back to our old state at our parents house when we werent prepared, losing my best friend who ditched me after 13 faithful years, a bookstore I loved closing and going bankrupt. I think between 32 and 33 I want: a job in my career field OR AT LEAST ANOTHER INTERNSHIP, publish something or attempt to, start saving money would be a bonus. Yes those are MY goals. In the end it is God who plans not us I love that quote in Evan Almighty where God laughs when Evan is like upset about his plans that the ark wasnt part of his plans. And God goes "Yours plans. Hahahaha." Yes so true so true.
4. Last week we practiced our last Christmas Choir. This week we had our dress practice in on the sancturay. Then on Saturday (yesterday) we performed. We did two of them one at 5 and one at 8. It was the most fun I have had in a long time. I was just having a good time praising God with Christmas songs all about celebrating Jesus birth. If others were blessed thats great! But in then end its all for Him!
5. Well it is the end of Christmas and since its after midnight its not Christmas. But I am good to say its still Christmas. I spent it sleeping like 9hrs. I feel like I am getting sick which is not a good thing. But we opened gifts. I slept another hour. Then my uncle Mike came and we ate. Later Melody came home from work. Finally my cousin Jenny is just now leaving. We hung out, talked. Its not like the good old days as a kid when we had our grandparents alive and we would hang out with family half the day. But its better then nothing. Seeing this is only our second year with someone. We spent 2007, 2008 & 2009 just me and Melody. And we got used to it. I have to agree in the end that being with family of any sort is the best thing in the world during the holidays.
till next week I mean NEXT YEAR. Happy New Year to you!!
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 (Sunday, December 11, 2011)
2 weeks till Christmas wow!
1. Proudly I got through some boxes in the garage. I was SO happy to finally find things like my blanket for my bed, my last bathroom box, and my bed boxes. If only I had enough space to actually unpack the boxes. Instead I am forced to chose what I want most and put that away somewhere. On a side note: ants found their way to my bed few days ago. Really freaked me out and did not make me happy. I hope they dont come back and bite me as I sleep at night :(
2. Melody had her 29th birthday on Tuesday. It was a busy day including hiking at Torrey Pines which we havent been to in a year. And dinner at Mimmi's Cafe. It felt different celebrating with the parents since we havent done this in 5 yrs. Usually its me and Mel and some food place. Last year we went down to Flagstaff and looked at stars eating at Chili's before going home. How a year changes things...
3. We arent going to Disneyland now this month at all. I am sad to report even though it was supposed to be next weekend we would go. Suddenly stupid Dland goes and blocks all weekends and thats all we can do because my friends friend who was gonna sign us in only not works the weekends. Its a big mess and something I am NOT happy about. We have only 3 days in January we can do it before the holiday stuff comes down. Trying to be hopeful but still not happy :(
4. We only did one bike ride this week and it was simply to go to the store for something. It wasnt far away but something. I really need to be biking every few days if nothing else just around the neighborhood I am getting badly out of shape since we only ride ONCE a week if that!
5. I only worked twice this week but loved every minute of it. Doing it both times reminded me of 2006 when Mel would work before me and I would come in with her. Since both times I had to come in hours before my shift. Monday I slept in the car for a few hrs then went in the park to read. Saturday I just went in and sat at the cafe reading before my shift. Oh well love it still :)

Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 4th, 2011)
Did this last wk from my ipod was interesting back to the computer...
1. Its hard to believe we are now 3 months since this all began. I was just telling a friend on FB that its so strange to live in Cali. You just dont know what it is like. Its different then trying to live in a place we never did like TN and AZ. You get used to it. But here its like we should know these things. I still cant think where stores are, I havent been down to Orange County for a year now. We never made it that far in June. Living out here is different then visiting. Its different in so many ways. I like it a lot and sometimes I hate it more. I like some things hate others. Yes 3 months later sure has changed a lot of things and still some may never change...
2. So on Monday I was told my Fedex package would come by 3. It never did. On Tue I was told my Fedex package was needing to be picked up as the address was wrong (it was sent to our old one). All these msgs and I was wondering what was the package when I hadnt ordered anything. And my creditors havent done that whole kinda crap since we first stopped paying them in 2007! Turns out Carters sent me a check my last one early. I wanted to cash it and made 3 attemps on Thur none worked. I still dont know why. I'm gonna drop it today and hope it clears. The pay date is correct. If they are using my bad credit to not let me cash a small $25 check they are seriously screwed up. Sigh. But thanks for the check to the company I only worked a month with!
3. I worked off and on at Legoland this week. I never complain I love the job more and more every day. I am sad when I dont work or when I get cut short. I worked a few times this week. My last day being today. Then I work only twice this next week but hoping for another shift. I was thinking I should have kept my other job but I didnt like that job it wouldnt have been worth it...
4. On Monday we biked to the beach. What a joke! We orignally thought warmer day=lets go swimming and then ride back. But we got a late start. Then they were doing construction on the bike path which meant we had to spend an extra 15 to 20 mint both ways going way around. In the end we put our feet in the ocean and came back in the dark. It took forever. I hurt from that thing for 2 days with an extra half hour plus of riding in there. Still have sand in my shoes too haha.
5. I completed my NaNo book this week. I came in over my amount but still I finished it. I am proud to have done this again 4 yrs later. I didnt think I could do it but I did it. I wrote a book. And like last yrs the book is good enough I think to even think about editing it and trying to publish it. Will take time and dedication to work on them both.

Weekend 5 (Sunday Nov 27, 2011)
Been a long week...
1. I really missed a bike ride this week. At least one time we have biked for the past 2 weeks. But this last week no bike riding made me sad :( Price I pay I guess for having a job or two.
2. I have quit Carters instead of being fired for not showing. I worked one shift so my next check will be small. I called Wed night when we didn't get paid and quit by phone. I felt sad cause one of the two supervisors I liked was who I quit to. Oh well one month was it.
3. I have had a fun week working at Legoland. I had 3 shifts and been fun so much. Sister got hired at Sealife so it's been a very good week.
4. We did volunteer at the Turkey Trot right here in downtown Oceanside. I still wish we could have run in it loved those metals. We gave out snacks then hung out. Nice day
5. Thanksgiving was nice. But was strange. In a way I missed us on our own. Family is nice but one day again we will be in our own place having family over.

Weekend 5 (November 20th 2011)
One month till my next birthday. Yeah about that...
1. Me and Carter's are not getting along. They dont seem to like me and my hours suck. After I was cut last week I only had one shift this week for 3hrs on Saturday. Then I got to do a call in when I called on Tue they gave me 4hrs back. Well I lost my shift on Saturday (yesterday). I was calling in for the reason on the next thing here but they said they were "going to cancel it anyways and were trying to get a hold of me" (which is lame seeing they never called me I have NO missed calls!). Like I said...they dont like me and after this week I wont be working there any more :)
2. On Monday I applied for a job at Legoland. On Tuesday they contacted me to come in for an interview on Wed. I went down Wed and got told to come back for a group thing on Thur. I came down Thur and got hired. On Fri I did the drug test. I did my orientation Sat 9-3 and today 10-2. And my shifts start this week back at the Big Shop. Very cool!!
3. Thursday night we saw Breaking Dawn Part 1. I was very excited. We saw it at the Oceanside Regal in downtown. The theater was freezing. But the movie was great. I cant wait for part 2 but sad to have to wait a whole year. They did a great job :)
4. We only rode our bikes ONE time this week. Due to my sister trying to get her car taken care of (going down on Mon, Wed and Thur) and my whole job things. I love riding my bike, I missed it. And I hope we get to do it again this time to the beach since we havent rode there in a few weeks :(
5. Finally have wifi, cable, tv, and phone at home. I am VERY glad about that!! We only got this back at home yesterday. It was a long near 2 weeks. I cant wait to catch up on shows. I am glad I can do more than online at library as we couldnt make it often enough and doing stuff I needed by phone only was a true pain!
Till next week after T-day... eat some turkey!! :)

Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 13th 2011)
Doing this from another public computer sigh
1. I have been working my job off and on this week. Not much though. I have finally been on register and it was not a fun first day. I kept messing up and going slow. I hope next time I am on I will be better but no promises :( Plus very little hours so I am now looking for another job or a second one at least.
2. We finally moved on Mon night and Tue was the big one. I do not like the new house as much as our old one. Our room is so tiny we barely fit in there to sleep. But we are trying to get used to it and unpack best we can. Oh well its not forever
3. We had a big rain on Saturday and it soaked me bad. Made me lose hours at work I only worked 1.5hrs it was not a fun thing at all. I like rain when i'm not soaking in it...sigh
4. Sat as well on the freeway while Mel was taking me her car lost too tires went flat. She had to get towed and I got late to work. But we could have died so it was good God kept us safe.
5. It has been a harsh week. Due to not being able to get COX till later this week we have no tv, no internet, no nothing but dvds and wii. So I can not wait to get net at home again.
till next week...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 6th 2011)
Forgot to do it for last week so this is for Sunday October 30th as well combined in two weeks of 5 things :)
1. So I have worked my job now a total of 5 times. I have had 2 call in shifts as well. All my shifts so far have been only 2hrs each. The craziest was yesterday on Saturday when I came in Saturdays are super busy. They wanted me to be cleaning and talking same time back and fourth. It was super nuts. Then we had our meeting tonight and it kinda made me nervous to hear that Black Friday is beyond insane. I could get a shift the night before on Thanksgiving and be working all night. The store looks like a disaster. And I should know what I work possibly by this Thur which is odd as i dont know yet what i am working next week... I know I need a second job unless hours improve I can NOT keep doing only 10hrs a week when I am the only working!
2. We have had rain and VERY cold weather since Fri. They are calling it our first two 'winter storms' and I believe it. The heat does not work in this house so day or night its freezing. I am so cold sitting here doing this but even at 1pm in the afternoon it is so cold. We are moving we hope tomorrow & Tue. It keeps being put off. We wanted to be gone a week ago by the 1st so its been a crazy past few weeks things being pushed off and on and off and on... Shall see
3. Done some bike rides but not a lot of rides. We did a few to the beach but our last one was not to the beach. Last week on Saturday (not yesterday) we rode to the beach then to the downtown library, and got our Breaking Dawn tickets for the closet theater to us. Yeah we are kicking butt. Its a painful but fun thing getting in shape!
4. Halloween was last week. I am sad to say: I did not dress up, I did not carve a pumpkin, and up until LAST minute I did not have any candy for the kids. Although we usually dont give out candy at our other places. I really miss the whole pumpkin thing :( Our parents friend brought us candy and we kept a bag and some from the others but gave most to the kids so that was fun.
5. Been working on NaNo for a near week now. Its all good fun. I love writing a novel and knowing its crap but I really I would really love more to go back and edit it later on. Sucks. But anyways doing well and hope to keep it up despite trying to move in the next couple of days...
till next week & new house (hopefully)...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 23, 2011)
1. Began my week out with my ONLY interview of the week and it COUNTED good! I had my interview on Monday with Carter's the kids clothing store related to Oshkosh. They said if we (group interview) all passed the background checks they would call in 2 to 3 days so I figured by Fri if I hadnt heard back then it wouldnt happen. Imagine my shock on Thur evening when the manager at Carter's called me and said I was hired. Yes FINALLY. And checking my journal I found out that it was a yr and a day since the last time I really had a job when I got hired at B&B last year! Kudos. Orientation is on Tue 3-5.
2. Twice this week we did LONG bike rides to the beach. Total time riding is about 45 mint each way. 12 miles total about. So yeah. I LOVE it. The thing I dont love is the pain after my tail bone especially and my hands. My legs are getting muscles in them which is cool I love it. I really want to get in shape even if we cant do the bike thing this year because its coming up before I get paid. I would love to be in greater shape for it next year :)
3. I am sick of WellsFargo crap. First they charged me $3 in my savings account and when I called Monday the girl claimed they would reverse it. Imagine my shock when I called back Thur they said they cant reverse it. The guy was giving me the biggest line of bs I have ever heard. He tried to claim that it was because there was more than 30 days before my last time I did the month charge. Or was it because it was after the 20th. Which is stupid because i got charged before the 20th therefore its cause of Sept NOT Oct. Well I know the whole more than 30 days is bs because I looked at my account found FOUR times where I did more than 30 days between including one more recent. I did one on July 1st and then not again till August 30th. How is that different from Sept 1st to Oct 31st? Yeah its NOT dum a. So when I get a chance I will drop them I hate dealing with this and wish i could just drop them now UGH UGH
4. We arent moving yet. Yup. We will find out this week the date for moving and we are hoping and praying it will be before the 1st of Nov. But at the rate we are going yeah no fun...
5. As NaNoWriMo is almost upon us I took the time today in church to finally figure out my idea. I have two book ideas I have never gotten far with and plan to one day. i didnt want to use them I wanted a fresh idea. So it came to me. I just filled out my form on the site. I will just say its a YA Adult fantasy, and the title is "The Secret Door". Should be an interesting month doing this while moving & working a new job. Yes sir.
Till next time...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 16, 2011)
Okay...
1. After my whole kiosk thing I put off calling them until Tue was sure I had the job. Setting up the kiosk was fun. I got paid and I liked the people I worked with. Well they didnt like me so I found out Tue that I didnt get the job. I had an interview same day with Target. They now do them online, then you do their app in store which is half math. Then you get 2 interviews. On Fri they wrote to tell me I lost that job too. Not a great week for LOSING jobs!! Ugh
2. I had lots of fun with interviews though. My most active days were Wed when I had 3 and Thur when I had 2. I cant say I want one job over another but the Sketchers one where you get a free pair of shoes and more than likely its more than just holiday sounds good. Claire's I'd love but worry about buying stuff with discounts cause I love it there :) (unless its like B&B of last yr where I didnt work enough to use my discount and sadly had to be let go end of season having bought NOT one thing!). I wouldnt mind Torrid but worried I'm a bit not fashion enough. Candy store good job sure. Justice I love Justice but cant seem to reach that job each time I lose it. Shall see when I find out in the next week or two on jobs.
3. Only ONE bike ride last week very disappointing! We did have a heat spell for 2 days all while the job junk going on. But the reason for less bike riding was not home enough and too tired once home. Not fun at all. But the one bike ride was good as always :)
4. We did have good news on Tue. Very quickly things are moving my parents got the house. Their second house as they lost the last one. Very exciting news. We hope to move in by end of month. So next few weeks could be crazy. But I'm not worried. There will be a room for Mel and me to share. The last house it was going to be sleep in living room or sleep in garage no room. So I'm not complaining even if its one room for us both, two baths not used to that. But its still more than we would have had if we'd gotten the other house. So there you go. Good news there!
5. We did our first race out here finally on Saturday. It was the Del Mar Mud Run. We went there 6:30am-2pm. Our shift was done at 1 but we stayed for the free food and samples. It all good. Had a lot of fun. We didnt get put in the mud no we volunteered for registration and so we were free from getting mud. Although it looks so much fun I would LOVE to do this next year maybe get a group together. This is the 2nd yr of this mud run. We heard about it last yr while in AZ and SO wanted to do it. We couldnt even find one like it in AZ. So yeah fun race glad we did it even if I was dead tired :)
till next time...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 9th 2011)
Okay then busy week...
1. Last week was a lot of job stuff. There was a job fair for Godiva that was held on Wed. I let Mel try this as she has not done as many as me. She also without me tried the Stater Bros one on Fri. As for me well I did a lot of job stuff myself including applying on Monday with the rest of my apps to our mall. And a new cafe called "The Broken Yolk" opening a new location in a few weeks by us.
2. We got to experience our first real rain. It kind of rained on Tue but the worst was on Wed while walking around the Carlsbad Outlet mall. It was cold, windy, and raining pretty steady. We got pretty soaked. The hot chocolate was nice (thanks sis!) and I did apply to a lot of places. Waiting to hear back after all my hard work. STANDING for every application. Was glad for warm at home. Later we got to go and try to see the "Red Tides" but not much success by the beach. Once every 5 yrs. Odd how the first chance we had was when we first moved here 5 yrs ago. 5 yrs sure changes a lot... we might try again was fun on the beach at 10 at night :)
3. The North County mall is Escondido and let me say it is HUGE. Now Scottsdale sure has a huge mall. So is this! Its THREE stories yes three. It even has a Panera Bread, Red Robbin and a Bowling Alley INSIDE the mall. By far super cool. I'm so hopeful for the job at the calendar kiosk which I applied & talked to the mgr. She let me on Sun night help set up the game kiosk and still waiting to hear back if I'm hired or not...
4. Had another beach day this was more real the others. I need to stop collecting so many sea shells :p but othewise. Got mostly wet, walked around the beach by the harbor. Was a ton of fun. I love the beach I am so glad to be by it again :)
5. Still going faithfully second week in a row to Calvary Chapel Oceanside. This church has more good then bad memories. I kind of wish my sis would come with me so we could sit in the cafe. If only we could also get starbucks every sunday it was our tradition. We always came late, and ate our coffee cake and drank our coffee. Best times. But love the church always fun good people nice church all around
6. I had two experiences with B&N last week. First I applied at the same store I worked for 4 yrs ago when we lived out here. Since it wasnt all a good experience it made me nervous. They said they will be going over the apps this week so shall see. Then Thur I went to the one in Encinitas for a job fair. We got late trying. Then I didnt get the call back like I wanted. Why is this company that I worked for TWICE (admit only once) so dang hard to get back into? Its not like I dont have experience. UGH.

Weekend 5 (Sunday, Oct 2, 2011)
Back on track this wk...make it the weekend 6 this time :)
1. Days here are somewhat without order. I wake up, I go online, I watch tv. Then we go out, and then come home more tv, online and then bed. Inbetween I even read and apply for jobs. But life is so crazy. So on Tue I filled out apps for Target (need to check back on) and on Wed I filled out for Walmart. Was kinda shocked but happy for a call back that night. My interview set for Thur and it went okay. Except the questions went in circles, I was tired my ADD was a nervous reck and ended with me not knowing how it will turn out. Plus the girl told me end of week for decision which was like Friday. So I'm guessing she meant this week. Who knows maybe another Walmart will give me a chance. I need a job I dont care where. This was my FIRST Walmart interview so give me a break! :/
2. We have managed 3 bike rides last week. The longest one was nearly an hour. The shortest was a half hour. Each one fun as the last. Slowly we are creeping to where we were in 2007. I recall we have still yet to pass where we had been. It could take us a few hours if we did it at once but its still the goal by end of year. I LOVE bike riding. If I could do it daily I would. Its freeing, its painful but you dont feel the pain till you stop and I am 110% sure its good for you. Love biking :)
3. Spent the best time at the beach on Saturday. First feet in the water, picking up seashell I never tire of this I have a small amount now since we got here. Then we drove (with mom and sister Misty too but not dad) to this gazebo area and watched the sunset. Found the "oceanside" sign like the hollywood one. I really had a blast on Sat night. Love the beach!!
4. Managed to finally begin to apply for jobs IN PERSON. Before this it was online apps or sending resumes over careerbuilder & craigslist. We visited our mall the nearest one. I sadly was only able to drop off 3 apps but will be doing the rest tomorrow. Hurray for finally doing this! There arent AS many malls out here but there are a few I just need to expand beyond my borders which I didnt want to do in 2007...
5. Today I went back to Calvary Chapel Oceanside Church. It was a lot of fun. My sis did another day at the other church. But I went with the parents. This was our church for a year and I intend to make it that again unless I find something better. I like the pastor, I like the music. I like it a lot. I gave my sister two reasons I like this better then the other church: I like drums in worship not just guitars and they have it & Pastor Mike has a sense of humor. Plus the service is just over an hour which is just right for my attention spand. Its NO Cornerstone or New Vision Baptist but its not bad for now at least till I find something better...
6. Grandmas birthday was on the 29th. In 2009 we started this tradition Mel and me and my mom. Me and Mel would buy a balloon release it to the sky for her birthday. Mom did the same. We were in TN at the time she here in CA. Then in 2010 we did the same thing but in AZ. It was so hot we nearly thought the balloon would pop so we had to let it go where we got it at the dollar tree. This year we are together so mom bought a nicer cost more balloon, we drove to the beach by the harbor and my dad video us three (with FIVE strings on the balloon) run it to the ocean and let it go. But as always according to mom it does this it goes towards the casino so grandma. She did love to go and gamble. I miss her so much right now. 5 yrs and its nothing I miss her like it happened yesterday. Miss you Grandma Swank enjoy your balloon
till next week

Weekend 5 (Sunday, Sept 25 2011)
Welcome back! Been near 3 weeks since I actually did one of these. And since so much happened I'm trying to stick with my top 5 even if its 3 weeks worth of top 5's. Now coming to you from California...
1. We had one week in Arizona and we spent well as we could. Including several free movies. That was my favorite thing. That and climbing the mt by the zoo. That was fun even in the dark. I tried to not cry when we ate at Cracker Barrel for the last time, Dunkin Donuts had a coffee. Seeing Arizona Mills & Tempe Marketplace. Maybe I should be glad we never made it back to Scottsdale Fashion Square or Chandler Fashion Mall. I pretty much cried a lot and if I think about it I will cry again at the drop of a hat. We saw Captain America which was excellent, Transformers 3 so glad to see one in the theaters and it was wonderful, and Fast Five which was great. I loved that one with the AMC Dine In we got a free movie, free meal (burger & fries & soda) all free. So our last week was full of packing, storms, panick, stress and in the end good byes. So it was mixed bag.
2. We got the moving truck on the 9th and thought we could pack it all up in 12hrs. Looking back it makes me laugh. It took us 3 days at least to pack up LARGER trucks in 2007, and 2010. And it took near 3 days to unpack it last year. So really did we think we could pack it up just us two in 12hrs? LOL. So no that didnt work out. We took 3 days to pack that truck up and leave. Inbetween we had storms, another few haboo's. Once we left at 8pm on Monday night we took till 8am on Tuesday to arrive. We hit a bad lightning/thunder/rain storm in the mts in San Diego was very freaky! We had two check pts we had to get checked for coming into the state. And when we pulled up to the house we left nearly 4 yrs before in Oceanside it felt like the strangest day of my life. It still hasnt fully hit yet that this is for GOOD we are here for GOOD its not a vaction we arent going back!
3. Once we landed here in Cali I feel like we flew in. We had to unpack. There was going to storage which we had to find a second one as the first one was crap. Then spend the day unloading there. Brought rest back to parents and now all we wanted here is stuck in boxes. We should be getting ready to go to the new house. In fact we should be moving on Tue. We arent. No we arent because of the tradgedy that came over the new house when 3 died in it last week. So now my parents are looking for another house and we have to be out of this place by Nov 1st. Moving is harsh I hate moving. I dont like it. I dont like packing, unpacking, whatever. And sadly I will be moving again within the next year. I try to not think about it too much :/
4. I love the beach. Have I mentioned that? I love the fact we are again living by the beach. I missed the ocean I missed the beach I missed the sand. Sadly I havent been to the beach as much as i wanted to since we moved here. But we are now riding bikes and working on eventually riding our bikes to the beach. Love the beach. LOVE IT!
5. No i dont have a job. Yes God brought us here for some reason and I am supposed to get a job here because I couldnt get one in AZ (not counting my 2 month 2 day really job at B&B or my 3 day stupid telemarketer one). So I will be very glad to get a job one day soon. Legoland, News station, newspaper, a store, a restaurant. I still up to anything whatever job God wants to give me.
Wow we did it 5 total long things. Back to norm next weekend till then...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, Sept 4th 2011) Last time in AZ
80s songs, Panda Express, Zoo (again), Moving, Church & lasts
So we are leaving AZ for good in a week...
1. I have been finding more and more 80's songs I just love. I am kind of glad I listen to Pandora so much on "80's Pop" and find that the songs on there though each repeated every day I am on (some not so much) are wonderful in their own light. I have been so grateful to be able to check out 80's cds from the library all the time. I will miss the wonderful selection these libraries have over libraries in the past. Then again I can't say completely since my music interest have peeked in the past few yrs & changed greatly. I am more into 80's, Smooth Jazz, Country then I was 4yrs ago. The lyrics of 80's songs just really get me. How can you beat this by Mr Mister: "When I was young I thought of growing old. Of what my life would mean to me. Would I have followed down my chosen road. Or only wished what I could be." Its profound, its deep. Its 80's music. What does it mean? I think I get it. So anyway I love 80's music more and more lately. :)
2. Monday was the worst day of this past week. Only followed by Thur. But the name alone says Monday sucks. I thought I was going to an open house job fair at Panda Express in Tempe. But first I thought I was going to talk to the mgr of the Paradise Bakery that is opening in Tempe as well. They are truly right across from each other. Mel dropped me off and did not realize how far I would have to walk in the heat. So i had to walk like 4 blocks to this thing arrived so sweaty it was gross. Only to find I could not talk to the mgr of Paradise Bakery. And the open house at Panda Express was for hiring of MANAGERS only! The sign on the door said they were hiring. Made me so made. I took their free kids sized drink got 4 refills before leaving for the bus. Not a fun day at all!
3. Tuesday was supposed to be go online then go to the Phoenix Zoo (again) for the concession job fair. We went late as my sister picked up a much needed shift at SL. So I go down there and imagine my happy surprise its a Job Fair for ALL areas including the one I wasn't hired for (they are still hiring and they did not hire me and said they had hired someone else why?). I tried for photography, concessions and retail store. Very happy day! Ended sad when retail said they would not hire me just two days later but hey happy on Tue at least
4. I dont want to explain the whole reason for it all but on the 1st we went down to the office to pay our half rent. We were told we could do so an come back with the second half the 20th. Shocking was told we had to pay nearly $900 more by the 10th. And since there is no way in h*ll we could come up with that we are now moving back with our parents in a week. Yes in a WEEK. Thats ONE WEEK to pack, to leave, to say good byes. Yes its insane. I feel like we are being punished for something and all this means. I dont know what or why either. Our pets will suffer most in a 3 bedroom and no room for us. Its totally unfair what is going on. I wont be online much after this so there you go.

Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 28 2011)
Long boring week...yeah
1. I've been doing this writing thing for two weeks now. I go to the library when I am alone (only) and I take writing notes. But I have yet to actually write something other then notes. I think I need to go about this differently. My next chance isnt till this week on Fri. I am aiming to take notes and actually write something. I dont care what something that will become something or edit something I have written. Its not hard seriously. Pick up the pen and write. Or at least the computer mouse & keyboard!
2. We spent this past week every day on a heat watch. When we moved out here last year it was hot half the time it wasnt. I guess not as hot as it could be since they claim that most records were only broke this time. Maybe as this is end of Aug its records for that time period. Either way we were at between 112 and 115 each day Mon-Thur and it extended Fri & Sat. This next week Mon & Tue are going to be close too. Ah. Welcome to AZ. I cant wait for it to cool down :)
3. We arent going to the new church anymore. We did it for two Sundays before giving up. Two guest speakers later we left scratching our heads. We did try the Chorale (Choir) too and it wasnt bad but since we arent going to the church doesnt matter. This was a trial. I did enjoy the free welcome coffee for visitors/first time people today. But when you dont have humor, when you dont use the Bible really, somethings gotta give!
4. I had a few odd ball interviews this week. I went to Chick-Fl-A for an open job fair time. I thought it was good news when I got a second interview. But I did have to stay back for that few hrs and it messed up my second interview which was at Crocs. But they didnt call me I dont like Chick-Fl-A now. I am upset that you have to have food experience for fast food. Its not a restaurant! Its not like I am asking to be a server before I am a hostess. People are stupid. The first lady liked me and had we had time we could have done first & second and I would maybe have been hired. Sigh. Crocs was not too bad. I sadly wont hear back for a couple of weeks. So there ya go!
5. I am sad to say I am not working at the Phoenix Zoo yet. It was a simple job at front they felt the need to interview me for with 3 people. I think its lame still it got me so nervous. I have NEVER interviewed with more than one person maybe two once or twice. What on earth? I did get to go in the zoo for free and ended up just visiting the Orangutans which I had been wanting to see. Saturday got the email that I was not hired.
Till next time

Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 21 2011)
Okay yeah
1. What a slow week its been. I know next week is coming up quick but when you arent working, hardly doing anything but going online its slow. Well I spent the past week going to the library where I took book notes from writing books and also from magazines. Its nice to do stuff like this I've been wanting to but havent. Then I will work on my writing. Step by step. I dont have anything to lose when its all I can do...
2. I miss interning this week. Its to the point where I cant really watch FOX news when I have the chance without crying. I'm getting better last few nights have peeked at the shows at least. But I truly do miss it a lot and hoping still something will change and open there so I can go back. Even as an intern sooner the better!
3. We've been having some crazy whether. We had our 4th haboob (pronounced haboo) this week! On Thur just as we were exiting Del Taco it came up behind us. This was the first time I SAW it coming and it was kind of freaky like some of the plagues from Egypt here come the flies run! We hid inside of Sprouts for a few mint then went home only to find it had only just begun and was SO glad to be inside at home for it. This next week we are having record temps between 113 and 115 each day till Fri. Excessive heat watch till Thur night. Ick.
4. So I talked to the guy working with me at CSB in GA and he is helping me get a job. At least I hope he is. I talked to him for 40 mint on Fri and now I'm looking into jobs for my career as well as jobs. Its confusing. I spend half my time online looking for jobs and past few days that included internships and bigger jobs. Its still not easy but my foot in the door with FOX hasnt gone away if anything opens up! Hopeful.
5. Saw 2 movies this last week. 1 good and 1 not as good. First we saw "Green Lantern" even in cheap seats it was totally worth seeing in theaters! I really like Ryan Reynolds for the main character he is growing as an actor and all the stuff of his I have seen I have loved. I love super hero movies and masks. So it was good. But cheap seats on cheap Tue always no fun thats all I'm saying. Then on Sat we saw for free the newest Planet of the Apes film. Now I must first say I am NOT into these films. I never was. I have seen the first one and never went past that. I am unsure if i ever finished the first one. But I went cause it was free and my sister wanted to see it and it had James Franco. But it really was just lots of monkeys and apes which I love cause I love monkeys. Well it was them getting smart and escaping and killing people. Saddest was Tom who plays Draco in the HP films dying. He never gets a break! I did like James Franco for the film and he is a great actor as well. So I would say it was okay. My sister who has seen all the other films to date (I think) said it was much like the original first one. I never get why they remake films all the times. Just leave the old ones alone! (True Grit just finished it on dvd and it was very good better then the original one!).
Thats the week in a wrap!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 14th 2011)
Yeah...
1. Tuesday was a super busy day for me! I had my second interview with Gymboree which turned out to be a real loser thing. I'm sorry I am not shocked at all when she asked me about my experiences as a supervisor fresh up and the girl before her made it sound like you DONT need that kind of experience for a keyholder. I think it sucks I will never be able to put my retail experiences to good use, and I REALLY wanted this job but sadly I did not get a call back on Friday.
2. I'm sort of missing our crazy storms. We only have had a few this Summer. Last year we had so many it was shocking to find this year there have been few. As long as I am under cover and not out in it I dont care for the weather. And its fun to try to take pictures of the lightning sometimes too :)
3. On Wednesday me and my sister went to a HUGE job fair in Paradise Valley. I got lots of free stuff but no jobs yet. I am still working on applying for the ones online I qualify for but have not gotten very far sadly. But it was fun getting free coffee (Dunkin Donuts & Starbucks) and lots of free stuff.
4. I have been encouraged to work on my writing when I am not doing anything else. But now I am baffled where I to start. Freelancing? Poetry published? Memoirs? Young Adult Books? I have all these ideas for years but to actually put them to use kind of baffles me. So I am researching books & magazines, will work on some ideas and in the end go with what I feel is the best first place to start. Shall see...
5. Sadly I am no longer interning at FOX. I was not hired as they had no openings and now I wont see them again till next Spring unless something opens up there. I miss them a lot and had a nice last week. I came in 4 times and had 2 days where I came in early for the morning show. I think I am now interested in productions which is a good thing to know seeing I didnt know that coming in. We shall see. I'm trying to be hopeful that someone will drop and I can do this in the fall. But unsure what the future holds.
till then...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 31st 2011)
Lets get to it!
1. My internship last week was only 3 days. Its hard to believe I am down to 2 weeks of this thing and that just makes me sad :( But I love going to the meetings, working on my writing (which is what I got to do), and I am getting withdraws since I havent been there since last Wed. Yikes! Come on hire me even for a little bit please.
2. The construction is getting closer to our apt. But according to our neighbor since we arent getting ourselves new machines she said they shouldnt make us get the pipes done. I'm praying she is right. Rainbow wont go potty in the other rock areas and I need to let her go some place few times a day! Bad enough she got ticks and cant go to the grass anymore :(
3. So on the job front. I got a call on Wed for a job interview tomorrow (Mon) at Barnes & Noble. The odd thing is I havent applied there in a year. I am excited for the possibility. I havent interviewed with the company since 2007 in TN at the Opry Mills Mall. I have tried mind you applied like crazy. I have been trying to get back in the company for a while now...so I am hoping its a good thing seeing its a year old app that it could be the real thing. Should know by end of wk if I get a second interview! Then there is the amazon.com thing I was so hopeful for. I got called last week and it was last Fri to come down at 1pm for a "prescreening". What a bunch of BS the whole thing was. I went down there at 12:50 and was told ALL the positions were filled 30mint before. They didnt call me or anything. I could get in line and wait for someone to decide to NOT take a position (hired on spot) but I would be behind 1,000 people. Yeah not fun nor happy. 45 mint drive to find this out. They were so rude too kinda glad I didnt get the job!
4. So we saw Cowboys & Aliens on Fri before the amazon thing. It was a very good movie! I am glad we got to go and see it. Its aliens so dont expect it to be pretty. But with the current James Bond actor Daniel Crag, and of course Harrison Ford you really cant go wrong. Unless you hate them, and aliens and cowboys...
5. So Sunday the 21st the church is starting this (unknown long) study for married people. I think its kinda of wrong for them to be doing this on the morning. Maybe at night, or the week. But making it the morning study is wrong to me. Sure its great save marriages. But why do that when people like us ARENT married. I know not everyone is married there. So now we have to figure out what we will be doing while its going on since there is no point in going. And I went to the sex thing last year too sheash!
Till next week...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 24th 2011)
Been a long week...
1. Monday I had an interview at the Lovesac in Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall. I hadnt been to that mall probably since earlier this year. It seems changed or just huge or something else. It felt weird going there without my sis I might add. I first did my internship for 3 hours then took the LR to the bus to get there. I was there about 2hrs. I filled out 2 job apps (waiting to hear back on those sigh) at places hiring. My interview wasnt bad I was excited for the chance to come work there. Then again it was a "selling" job which was iffy since my bad experience in June (3 day crap job). But I was to hear back on Wed either way. Guess what! I didnt hear back either way. So I was like its not to be que sera sera.
2. On Wednesday just as I was about to ride the LR to a small bus and take that downtown in Tempe to a pizza place I got a call for an interview with amazon.com. How great is that! I will be going in next week on Friday the 29th at 1pm. Sadly its very far away with buses will take me over 3hrs. My sister has agreed to come get me after its about 40mint from our house there and then 40mint back but buses would be another 3hrs. I better bring a book with me! Also need my usual id card, ssn card, and oddly enough (never had this asked before) a copy of my transcript from high school. Felt silly calling my old school CCHS to get that since I graduated 13yrs ago. Paid $2 for it (thanks mom!) sheash. I havent checked the mail I hope its there or will be soon...
3. I went to a job fair on Thursday. I worked so hard to get there and so hard to get back I am still hoping and praying something will come of it. I shouldnt have wasted my $1.20 on 11 resumes since I only gave out 2! So I had to ride the bus early to Mesa Library. The library was not easy to get to it was 2 blocks from where I was dropped off and I kept thinking how nice I get to finally see downtown Mesa. I love downtown areas. But I was hot & tired when I got the library. The job fair should have began at 10 but they doors didnt open till nearly 10:20 so by time they did there was a line of 40plus people (me being one of them) waiting to go in. I walked away with about 4 things to do online, gave out resumes only to the two temp places, and I got lots of free pens, a free pedimetore, and a free bag. Then I got to ride the bus to the LR to the internship. It was a long day needless to say. But I hope worth it more then just the free stuff (which is always nice!).
4. I did my internship 4 times last week. I am trying to do it 4x a week since I am running out of time both to learn stuff, get my hours, and just get in period. I am going to miss this if its over on Aug 13th I am going to miss it more than I can say or even think about. Its just a part of my life now, get up go to the internship. I have no job so its my job where my pay is experience.
5. Saturday (yesterday) was extra rain fire from heaven h*ll kind of day. Sis insurances expired two weeks ago but she couldnt afford to renew it. So when she got pulled over yesterday for having an expired and not even point CA plate on front of car (NEVER got pulled over in TN for nor the first year out here!). Then policemen gave her a ticket cause she couldnt find her registration, but she can clear that when she is. But she needed insurance now she has it (thanks to mom) but hoping this will be enough to clear that ticket. Oh wasnt he nice to give her a warning for the crack! I'm just glad she didnt get arrested or her license suspended as those two would have been worse then 2 tickets!
Yeah hope this weeks better...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 17th 2011)
How about the weekend 6 today? ;)
1. Today marks exactly 3 yrs since I graduated from CSB. Its hard to believe its been that long. Sadly the school wasnt even open another year before it closed for good. I was one of the last people to finish the whole thing. There was the set that fall and then the Spring got to finish eventually. I wish at times they would have kept it open. I loved the school, I loved my classmates. It would have made it 10x more easier for me to get help and such working with the people who I graduated with. But alas that did not happen. I hope my other classmates are working on the dreams they made and worked hard for 3 yrs ago now.
2. The 16th marked a year since we came out here. What a long hard and strange year it has been. 2011 itself was strange and sad all without the fact that we were living in a new place. So I am sad about the fact that I am not in work and all. But I am trying to honestly trust God for this. Twice now I have doubting and God has spoken to me. One to tell me He will provide for me/us, the other was last night saying He has not forgotten us. Heres to another year this time better then last one!
3. My internship this week I only did 3 days. I skipped out on Monday for a day off. And of course Friday after the midnight HP I didnt dare come in. But I had fun all the same. Sad to think I only have a month left and I am trying to make a dent in there to show I belong there for good in August!
4. So Tuesday was a very long day for me. I did my internship sure but first rode the bus down there then light rail so my sis could sleep in. After my 3hrs I rode the bus and LR to our mall to apply for jobs. I was there a few hours. Then the bus back home. I was out of the house 12hrs and so tired by time of coming home I wanted to die! Hope it gets me some interviews (still waiting...)
5. The midnight showing for the last Harry Potter film was on Thur. I am very sad this is it for the books/movies. I had just finished the book. I know we can go back and replay our wii lego game, reread the books, watch the movies (I dont own sadly the part 1 yet), and maybe see the movie again when/if it comes to cheap seats. But it was SO SO good. Sad, but good. So long Harry Potter...
6. My best friend Deb came down on Friday to see me and hang out. I hadnt seen her since Nov 2007 on our trip to TN from CA we stopped in Vegas. Since then she has gotten married and I have not. But we still had fun. With Mel too we saw "Mr Poppers Penguins" very funny film. Then we roller skated for 4hrs which was a blast. Followed up by going to dinner with her husband now too at Cracker Barrel. I hope to see her again sooner then 4hrs it was a lot of fun...
till next week...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 10 2011)
Okay
1. The 4th of July was a lot of fun last week! Well sorta. First I decided to skip out on my internship (heard later I missed the BQ dang!) and go with my sis to her mall. They only open til 6. I got a coffee at Quick Trip (so good). Then proceeded to go online all day. After she off we sat in Carl's Jr goofing till fireworks and then it was so crowded we ended up parking far from the lake and watching with some people. A storm almost we thought drenched us (later it didnt really rain for us so maybe not) and we had lightning behind us while fireworks in front. I hope next year to do it BY the lake it would have been great! Oh well (it wasnt a free event mind you)
2. I had 2 job things last week. Well 3 in a way. Tuesday I was to go to an interview that was way farther away then the one job I had last month. We gave up as I was late and never made it. I did schedule an interview for that day very short timing. The guy was really strange. He made fun of me calling a retail job "Sales Associate" which makes no sense as thats what we are called! "Do you consider this a sales position?" I hate when they call you down KNOWING you cant do the job but its as if they call to make sure or make fun of you! My second thing was on Wed. It was very hot. I had to walk from the LR at least 4 blocks in the heat. And the interview was so short by time I got out I thought I was gonna die. I had to get free water I almost had heat stroke. And of course neither of those jobs called me back...SIGH
3. Tuesday we had a HUGE dust storm. It made national news. It came around 7pm or a bit earlier. It was 50 miles long and coming in at 60mph. It looked like a monster and for us it looked like rain. We was at the library and about to leave around 7:30 I thought it rain I told Mel then we realized it dust. It kept coming in the library and making it look cloudy in there like smoke. It was very freaky. We had to go out in it the winds were horrible the car shaking. We tried to wait it out as driving it was like driving in fog. But ended up going home anyways. What a night!
4. My internship was done in 3 days last week. It was a lot of fun! Especially on Friday when I got my first ride along (ride with a reporter to an assignment). I love this its my favorite thing to do whenever possible :)
5. We skipped church today cause of my sisters awkward schedule. She had to work till 4:30 then be back by 7:30 for the meeting. So it was too much driving for her so we sadly skipped...
till next week

Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 3rd 2011)
Well Well Well
1. I interned not 3 times but 4 times last week. The most I have ever done since I began to work this job. I really love it. I dont care if I sit there just reading the news all day and answering the phone. I am just as happy as anything but I am willing to answer phones, listen to story ideas, call people for ideas, watch the shows, sit in on the meetings and HOPEFULLY before this is over do one ride along. Last week I had no ride alongs (even with 2 days and 2 chances) but I went to meetings a few and had so much fun I could hardly stand it. You have to watch me to see the SMILE on my face I look so happy to be doing something that it makes me want to cry to think in a month this could be gone...
2. I had an almost interview last week. I really need a few bad interviews to give me practice but I keep applying and after that whole joke of a job few weeks ago I cant get even an interview from anyone. Doesnt help that I dont want an telemarketing, am iffy on Sales jobs and dont have a lot of experience. I did have this thing on Tue where I went down there to find out you need to pay for their insurance license and a classes. Sure to some $285 and then $300 is pocket change but not to someone who sometimes didnt make that much in one MONTH in retail! I also almost had an interview on Thur but the guy wouldnt get back to me so phone tag just isnt fun. Hopefully next week will be better as I have one set up for Tue at another job. SIGH
3. The 28th of June will always be a sad day to me. It doesnt matter that Princess has been gone for a year and a half or Patches has been gone for nearly 7 yrs. I will always miss our first cats Patches & Princess and the joy they gave us the few precious or even a bit longer yrs they were in our lives. If they were alive they would have turned 19. I cant wait to see them again in heaven. I was just sad when they were separated for so many years by death too soon :(
4. July 3rd is always going to be 2 things. For my mom especially (and my cousins & their father) it is a day to recall Sherry who died on the 3rd of July in 1996 from cancer. I also recall that it was the day 7 yrs ago when Barnes & Noble I worked at closed its doors for good. I loved that store. I was hoping to have stayed with the company and that store a couple more years full time as soon as I graduated college. How ironic the year I graduated May 2004 they closed just a few months later. My still longest job on record and my only 2nd real retail job ever. Always in my heart B&N of Main Place Mall
5. Saturday was the hottest day on record 115 in some places higher. So hot that I decided to go with my sister to her mall. Mistake being 4th of July weekend and it so hot and crowded I had no fun. But before I was only too happy to find some cute shoes (a bit too big but still) at Good Will for half off & a belt. I needed both spent only $6 and I had planned for just shoes $11 so I saved $5 much needed savings :)
Till next week...
1. I interned not 3 times but 4 times last week. The most I have ever done since I began to work this job. I really love it. I dont care if I sit there just reading the news all day and answering the phone. I am just as happy as anything but I am willing to answer phones, listen to story ideas, call people for ideas, watch the shows, sit in on the meetings and HOPEFULLY before this is over do one ride along. Last week I had no ride alongs (even with 2 days and 2 chances) but I went to meetings a few and had so much fun I could hardly stand it. You have to watch me to see the SMILE on my face I look so happy to be doing something that it makes me want to cry to think in a month this could be gone...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 26, 2011)
Okay...
1. The first 3 days of my week last one was spent training for a job I was not going to keep in the first place. I look back now and read the "tricks" and "lies" better. For example: when my former boss tells a story where his nephew moves to a new city and has 2 weeks to keep up his sales or is let go...well there ya go! Plus he said to me last week "3 days then you are HIRED" not you are hired right then. The lame trick to all this is that we filled out paperwork and on Wed took a test. All before I was told I was not going to work there. I did get paid sure for the hrs I worked but still that job took me away from other jobs for 2 weeks. And cause of all this I am stressed out. Stupid Stupid telemarketing NEVER NEVER again! If God wanted me there I would have made a sale. But the way "former boss" was going HE probably wanted me to make MORE than one.... but telling someone "you DONT have to make any sales in the first three days" then ending with "well actually you SHOULD..." is a lie and lame too! Not happy with them still :(
2. I got to intern this week only 2 real days. I came in on Tue but was so tired that I left after an hour.5 Which means I lost out on stuff. Of course I still wonder how are they keeping track of the hours? I'm supposed to have "200 hours" by time this ends mid-August? But its not like we clock in or they write it down. So unless its a mental thing I dont get it... the 2 days I really was there (Wed night, & Fri morning) was a lot of fun. I want to go out for the ride alongs this week as well as go to at least one meeting. I am up for anything seeing I have no job and now have been paid for my stupid 3 day job. I am hoping its true and in August they will hire me. I dont want to beg but please let them please... love it all!!
3. Riding the bus for 3 days and the LR for some of those as well as after I have decided to keep an observation notebook for the Lightrail and the bus. Its going to be fun I hope keeping the tickets, making notes on people I see around me. Nothing major. And seeing this could end mid-august it will also be very short!
4. Celebrated 2 sets of pet birthdays this past week. Today is the cats 3rd birthday (we guessed they born in June just named a day for them in 2009). So happy birthday Rocky & Jackie. Rainbow on the other hand had her 9th on Thur. I'm not worried about her, little dogs can live to 20 and shes as lively as she was at 2 so dont tell her she is 9. Plus little dogs age slower then big ones so really she isnt 7 for every year in dog its less for little ones but cant recall what. I wont worry too much till 2013 when she should be going to the vet more often between ages of 11 & 12 so I read...Love the pets they are truly our kids!! :)
5. So I have been spending time this past week and finishing up this coming week on Supernatural (tv show) season 5. I missed this last year when we got into Flashforward the tv show that only lasted a sad one season and SN was on same time last year...so I am now almost done and enjoying every minute of it. That show can be gross at times (I'm getting used to it LOL) but other times the humor is up there. Plus you gotta recall if you get offended by the religious aspects of the show (I'm trying to not do so...) recall its a FAKE FICTION SHOW not something true. They arent trying to say Gods gone on vacation and doesnt care about the end of the world, etc. Plus 3 hot guys (who cares if they are all married to some lucky gals!) its like wow wow wow ;)

Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 19th 2011)
Busy week!
1. The week began with Monday me setting up a second interview on Tue. My only real relaxing day then was on Monday believe it or not. Tue I went to a job that I am going to test out this coming week a telemarket job for selling newspaper advertising. The pay is great $10 an hour, the hours are good 7-3. And I can work my internship around it. Shall see
2. Speaking of internship I did my first 3 days Wed-Fri. I came in around 9:30am each day and left around 1pm. I have done a lot of stuff. I havent been told I can or cant say about it online but I am keeping it pretty hushed hushed just incase. Let me just say I am in love with the fact that I can meet news anchors and reporters, sit at the desk and see just about anything at the station. I truly hope I can get a real job here in Aug. You know NOONE else ever got back to me about internships. God works in mystery ways (by saying NO to Fox in Nashville 2x) and now by giving me the only internship to get back to me. I love it I truly truly do!!
3. So because of this I am riding the lightrail and or the bus almost every day. I love the light rail mainly cause it reminds me of the subway in NYC which I fell in love with the 10 days I was in there in 2002. The bus on the other hand is okay. I only began the bus thing on Friday when my phone (which FROZE AGAIN on Tue) had to be replaced and I chose in person and had to take the bus to the Paradise Valley Mall after I got done on my internship. I will be taking it off and on this next week too with the light rail. But for $3.50 per day you can ride the bus and LR all you want unlimited so its not too bad. Sis claims it saves on gas not having to drive to Phoenix all the time (and my new job which is way deep in Scottsdale).
4. On Saturday we did the 50% day again at Good Will. It was a nice day. For $7.50 I got two shirts for my job & internship (both have same dress attire) and some pj shorts. I still need to find exercise shorts and exercise kapri's. I also need regular kapri's and a bunch of other stuff. Maybe I can get these new if the job works out... after the GW thing I went to Sonic used my free survey thing got a free 44oz drink and a coupon for a free corn dog. Went online for 4hrs. It was a pretty good Saturday!
5. Today is Fathers Day. I am sad once again not being able to see my dad on this big day. We bought him a card and hope to get a late gift for him soon. But I am glad to have seen him a few weeks ago in Cali and cant wait to see the fam again at the holidays :)

Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 12th 2011)
Okay...
1. Monday was our last FULL day in California and I feel we spent it well. We first went with our parents to San Diego to see a light house in Point Loma. It was very fun!! We had lunch at Norte's (we tried them last year in our last visit great mexican food!).
2. I shall miss the beach from California. Our only real day there to put our bodies and feet in was on Monday and it was a lot of fun. Much warmer then last year in May I might add. Even in the evening it was sunny. The waves were mean I got knocked over 3 times. I blame going in the evening where the tides pull in more. Oh well had fun. Later a walk on the pier and snacks at Ruby's :)
3. We finally got to see the Mission San Luis Rey. We only lived by it for a year when we in Cali 2006-2007 but my parents still live there. But we got to go INSIDE the mission! It was the best thing I had ever done. I cant recall last time I was in a mission in the chapel I mean not just the grounds! Beautiful and free at that time :)
4. I put off my intership again. I was going to do it Wed but was so tired so I put off till Thur. But then told to come in next week on Wed the 15th so we are all set! Cant wait!
5. Friday I went for a swim in our pool alone. Sis at work so just me. It was like 101* out so I was like why not and it was a lot of fun. Very cool and refreshing....
AND
6. My dog Cocoa went to heaven Dec 5th 2001 at the age of 13.5yrs old. But if she were alive her birthday was and will always be June 8th. She would have been 23 yrs old if she'd been alive. I miss her and think of her on her birthday. See you soon old girl!!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 05, 2011)
This is late sorry...
1. We left for California on Wed the 1st of June at 10am. Took us nearly 3hrs to load the car and finally leave. It took us almost 10hrs to get to our home in Oceanside. From stops for gas and breaks to driving through random towns we never been in. But we had so much fun coming it the more time was worth it to us (not the pets they hated it!)
2. The pets fell in love with the house in Oceanside. I mean just Rocky & Jackie. Rainbow always loves it but misses our old place (wherever that may be) for varies reasons like not being able to sleep anywhere or go under the couch or chairs. Maggie was hiding in her cubie the whole time no idea why we torturing her. But Rocky & Jackie seriously loved the place
3. The beach was the best. I wish we could have spent every day there as we joked about before going. However we made one actual trip there where we played in the water (and the water played back not fun!). And we did put our feet in too on the 2nd. All and all I miss the ocean, I love the beach and truly cant wait to go back again!
4. So on Saturday we did the Legoland theme park. But we did the water park on Friday. It was cute and easy to get through since not a lot to do (its for kids so you must keep that in mind). Legoland and Sealife were on Sat. I really love Sealife in AZ better. But Legoland which havent been to since Oct 2007 was THEE best. Especially with a huge group of friends like that. We had me, Mel, Nikki, Andrew & Amy, and Ryan. I loved it so much fun!!
5. On Sunday today my dad had a BQ. We invited Andrew & Amy and Jenny over. They came and we even got to go in the spa with them. I had so much fun it was hard to not want to keep hanging out. And I missed my dads burgers best thing about today.

Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 29th 2011)
Okay...
1. So Tuesday my battery came for my phone. And so far its working. Then again it was working when I put the battery in so I have no idea yet if this is the *cause* for the freezing. I guess time will tell. Hence why I'm taking my dads old phone to Cali incase it happens again while there...
2. I had an interview with Gymboree on Wed and I thought it went good. I mean sure I got there on time but the manager not there yet so when she came in it seemed I was 10 mint late but the girl knew I was there on time. But sadly noone called me yesterday or today for seconds (and they were hiring 3 or 4 people!). So this is my last shot at retail. Going out of town so its impossible to do interviews after tomorrow. Oh well there goes another one...
3. Our church finished their last day of the 5 week "End of Days" series. Ended it well I think. I will miss it. I know too much end times talk can be bad. But its okay I really liked and took a lot away from it :)
4. Saturday was two things: I installed my hard drive on my computer. And I dyed my hair. Well my hd and me arent friends yet so my currently hard drive still is full. And my hair didnt dye all the parts right. So Now its okay I think but I had to try to re-dye with left over the next day. Sigh.
5. I am very excited about my internship. I went down there on Thur after waiting down all day by the park and riding the light rail into town alone. Sure I got sunburned walking in the sun. But other then that it was a nice time and I really cant wait for next week to start working hard and hopefully get a job in the end...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 22nd 2011)
We are still here!
1. So May 21st 2011 was predicted as the day the rapture would happen. Although it wasnt as I have read in the Bible. There wont be a huge earthquake happening at 6pm in each time zone. It will be all at once in the twinkling of an eye and most importantly without anyone predicting it. Only God knows the hour not even Jesus or the angels. So am I shocked the world continues as of today the next day? No I am not shocked. If yesterday was supposed to be the day it does make me sad now it wasnt cause one guy decided to try to predict it was. You'd think he'd have given up after 1994 when he tried this the first time (which until Fri I wasn't aware of).
2. On Wed the day we were going to do our mall I had TWO calls from Arizona Mills. Yes two I had given up on as they werent hiring. The first one up was on Thur for Rainforest Cafe. I had to go with my sister all day just to have a 10 mint interview where the manager proceeded to act like it was odd I had lots of seasonal jobs. Even if I was with Borders for almost 3yrs! And Lego was on there too (over 2 years). "So, you only work seasonal jobs...?" huh? Anyways. The second one is on Wed at Gymboree at 7pm. I didnt heart back from RF on Friday for second interviews and hence have given up on them.... and NO we never made it our mall after all we joked God didnt want me trying there haha
3. I called American Eagle back on Monday as it had been almost 2 weeks and the guy who answered said the mgr is out on sick leave for 6 to 8 wks and he is in charge. Then he took down my info to check my file. I havent heard back from him yet so I am about to give up on this as well... and sick leave? Did it have anything to do with her bad foot/toe I wonder...hum.
4. On Thur I found out I may have an internship. I wont know for sure till I go to the orientation. Since I am going out of town for a week I told the lady that and she sent me the info for the orientation. Now waiting for CSB in GA to get back to me with my letter to print out (hurray up!) and then on Thur from 2 to 4 I will be doing that. It means getting up early again, going with sister for one hour then making my way downtown via the bus & lightrail. Praying this works out!!
5. Yeah is it shocking. Everytime I try to do an internship the devil decides to throw his spiritual attacks on me. My phone which has been fine for nearly a month now froze again. It froze and didnt want to come back so I called and talked to at&t. And I swear they put you thru such crap there. The guy tried to claim the reason my phone was frozen was too many text msgs? Huh? The first time it happened in April there were hardly any at all! So I did his little instructions (even though I knew they wouldnt work) as the phone had been dead when it froze and wouldnt charge but I told him this and he still thought plugging it in for an hour then taking out the battery all night would make magic happen. All it did was kill the battery cause I turned it on next day (Friday-still frozen) and had to call back again. Then the girl there was being a true pain. I think bigger then the guy. She told me that it wasnt activated till April 23rd even though I got it in the middle of Feb and so I cant replace the whole phone. She kept telling me (even though I told her I CANT) to take it back to where i got it from so they can replace the whole phone. Do they ever listen? UGH! Now shes sending me a battery on Mon or Tue and if its not them then I have to call and get rest of phone replaced. In the meantime it will be past the 23rd so if we had waited till Monday I could have gotten a full replacement at all! Lame Lame Lame. I think its lame. Oh and after doing it my way plugging phone in for like 8 hrs with it turned on it finally unfroze and is fine again for now... praying its the battery as our trips in a week and I cant handle this much longer AHHHHH
Last entry till Cali is next week!! I'm going to do it on Friday early cause otherwise I would have to wait till we in Cali to do it...stay tuned!!
1. So May 21st 2011 was predicted as the day the rapture would happen. Although it wasnt as I have read in the Bible. There wont be a huge earthquake happening at 6pm in each time zone. It will be all at once in the twinkling of an eye and most importantly without anyone predicting it. Only God knows the hour not even Jesus or the angels. So am I shocked the world continues as of today the next day? No I am not shocked. If yesterday was supposed to be the day it does make me sad now it wasnt cause one guy decided to try to predict it was. You'd think he'd have given up after 1994 when he tried this the first time (which until Fri I wasn't aware of).
2. On Wed the day we were going to do our mall I had TWO calls from Arizona Mills. Yes two I had given up on as they werent hiring. The first one up was on Thur for Rainforest Cafe. I had to go with my sister all day just to have a 10 mint interview where the manager proceeded to act like it was odd I had lots of seasonal jobs. Even if I was with Borders for almost 3yrs! And Lego was on there too (over 2 years). "So, you only work seasonal jobs...?" huh? Anyways. The second one is on Wed at Gymboree at 7pm. I didnt heart back from RF on Friday for second interviews and hence have given up on them.... and NO we never made it our mall after all we joked God didnt want me trying there haha
3. I called American Eagle back on Monday as it had been almost 2 weeks and the guy who answered said the mgr is out on sick leave for 6 to 8 wks and he is in charge. Then he took down my info to check my file. I havent heard back from him yet so I am about to give up on this as well... and sick leave? Did it have anything to do with her bad foot/toe I wonder...hum.
4. On Thur I found out I may have an internship. I wont know for sure till I go to the orientation. Since I am going out of town for a week I told the lady that and she sent me the info for the orientation. Now waiting for CSB in GA to get back to me with my letter to print out (hurray up!) and then on Thur from 2 to 4 I will be doing that. It means getting up early again, going with sister for one hour then making my way downtown via the bus & lightrail. Praying this works out!!
5. Yeah is it shocking. Everytime I try to do an internship the devil decides to throw his spiritual attacks on me. My phone which has been fine for nearly a month now froze again. It froze and didnt want to come back so I called and talked to at&t. And I swear they put you thru such crap there. The guy tried to claim the reason my phone was frozen was too many text msgs? Huh? The first time it happened in April there were hardly any at all!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 15th 2011)
Late Late :)
1. Its hard to believe its been a whole year since we flew from Nashville to California. I miss Cali and cant wait to go back and we are planning a trip there in few weeks. But its just so much has happened in the last year its hard to believe its been a whole year of all this!
2. Tuesday the 10th marked 5yrs since my grandma died. We were very close to her living in her house with our parents since I was a baby. So she was like a second parent to us all. I still miss her and even if 5 yrs they say you stop missing someone. I still have not :(
3. I spent Tue the 10th at my sisters mall. They were doing free ice cream at Hagaan Dagz and I enjoyed a free cone. Plus went only for a few hours. Even if they covered the switches (Lame!) I still found a way to enjoy lots of online time :)
4. We did an Excel class on Wed and it was a ton of fun! Tons!! I am so happy to have this stuff I can now use in the future for office jobs when I apply. I am glad to have this and will take a second one this coming Wed :)
5. Crocs didnt happen. I called the store on Thur 3 weeks after my interview and NEVER gotten a 2nd one as promised by phone. They arent hiring anymore. I am beyond pissed off at them and almost dont want to shop there. Why tell someone that and then not do it? Wrong so wrong :(
thats all...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 8th 2011)
Well...late one this week!
1. For 3 days last week we had heat as in 100 degrees each day. Norm is 91 and then next week for a few days gonna be 80's. Yeah our temp's drop that low and then climb back up few days later. Ah AZ still not used to it but so good all the same :)
2. So we are planning a trip to California for June 1st till June 7th. I am hoping by then to have a job so I can at least have something for souveniors :/ but dont know yet stuff's always in the air! I am excited to see some friends and family havent seen in a year since the wedding. Has it really been a year? Where does the time go? Scary how it flies!!
3. So I finally had my interview with American Eagle. Things didnt go well at the time. Lets see my phone rang when I first started (yeah I forgot to turn it off oops!) and I was 2 mint late. But the mgr seemed to still like me telling me after checking my references she would set me up for orientation. I still havent heard back from her. I am also still waiting on Crocs. I will be contacting them this Wed if I still havent just to see whats up cause 3wks later and nothing is just wrong. 2nd interview? Yeah right!!
4. On Friday I was NOT happy when I found a TICK on Rainbow. She hasnt had one of those since she was very little. We found 2 on her then when we first got her. Well we made it through nearly 3 yrs in TN with NO ticks. Then move out here and barely here 10 months and she got one. Freaked out. Sis helped me get it off her and now I wont take her to the grass area anymore till I can get some med's for her to keep them off her (and fleas too but not worried about them). I am grateful we got it off so quickly as it takes 48hrs for her to get a chance of lyme disease and i think we got it off within the first hrs it there. Still no fun and very nasty bugs!! ://
5. Finally got to talk to CSB in GA. I am happy to say they are helping me get an internship again. This time with NO time constraints of so much time to. In fact the guy I'm working with told me to say I havent graduated cause I still need the credits. This is a first noone told me this. So I am very hopeful by this time next yr I will have an internship and a job and experience I need to finally put my BA and CSB stuff to work! Patience....God is teaching me this I know it I just gotta learn it...
Till next week

Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 1st 2011)
Yup...
1. Due to the fact that I still have not heard back from Crocs Shoes as a second interview I was promised I am still waiting. I have been forced to keep looking for work. So Thur I was all set to do an interview at American Eagle. But then the day I was there all day at the mall they called to reschedule as the mgr had hurt her toe. So now my interview is next Wed. I was at the mall all day online and in pain after from the chair haha
2. I did contact CSB in GA to find out again if I can intern. I was originally only given till January and then we moved and I was unable to secure a job. I wish I had checked with them sooner as they are willing to try to help me out again. The will call me this week. I am very excited and glad I can still get an internship going but I dont know where it will be with. I will be researching this and awaiting a call from them
3. I found out that the holes in my mouth have not healed. The dentist said 7 to 10 days, but its been 5 weeks since the operation. And they are not healed. Now I hear this is normal and I will have to keep them clean still. I'm just annoyed at my dentist telling me one thing when it was not true at all :(
4. Friday night we did the Rock the Zoo at the Phoenix Zoo. We volunteered 9-12am and it was SO MUCH FUN! We were at the table where volunteers check out and it was a simple thing of just telling them to sign out and asking if they have radios. Very easy job. In turn we got tshirts, free food & free coffee. And we could hear the 80's bands playing. The event cost $75 (proceeds for the zoo) but we did it all for free. It was almost like attending but not seeing the bands. Cool!
5. So Osama Bin Laden is dead. 10 yrs almost since 9/11 and he is gone. I will never forget 9/11 and how it changed us all. And although it might be wrong I am glad he is gone. I hear he killed over 6,000 people. As well as we have been after him since the early 90's (I was unaware of this I thought it was around 1998 or 1999 but it was not). President Bush had to leave office and it was sad he didnt get the guy behind those horrible attacks. Now he is gone and we rejoice!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, April 24th 2011)
Okay...
1. On Wed I had an interview with Crocs Shoe store. I love this store. I own 3 pairs of croc shoes, I can do the job and its in my sisters mall. All plus. So he sets me up for a 2nd interview by phone but NOONE has called me about this. I dont know what is happening. I will check back with him by Tue if I dont hear something soon. Its really confusing...
2. Same day as the interview my phone went crazy. This time it wouldnt unfreeze no matter what all night and next day. It finally unfroze but I still called At&t. Somehow they fixed my phone over the phone. How? I dont know! Whatever they did its fine and I didnt have to replace it. Gad phones can be a pain!
3. So we were going to do another volunteer Saturday. But when we got there we were SO tired and no tshirts or anything. They didnt really need so us so we walked around the reserve instead then went back home to sleep. Its okay we got a Rock the Zoo thing on Fri and I'm excited about that!
4. My dad had an almost stroke on Saturday. It was really scary. He was numb on his arm and leg. They rushed him the hospital but then it stopped. Whatever it was they had him over night but it gone. I truly believe God answered our prayers and kept him from having a stroke. He went home on Easter and what a good day that way :)
5. So Easter was a lot of fun. We did the Easter service on Saturday night not Sunday cause sis worked. It was SUCH a good service! I cried yes I do that...anyways Sunday I slept in. Then we had Cracker Barrel for dinner (so yum!) and later half priced candy at Walmart. Was a good weekend especially once dad fine.
till next week...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, April 17th 2011)
Will be a short one...
1. My hard drive has finally come in. And I got it too. I'm excited but actually still havent got a chance to set it up. We have a visit on Tue and been trying to spend time cleaning for it. But yes I can finally have more room on the computer :)
2. It was so hot for the past few days almost 100 again. I cant believe still I live some place where it gets THAT hot this early in the year. Makes me want to swim every day and get tan ;) Ah AZ love....
3. My phone scared me so bad on Fri night. It wouldnt stop freezing and wouldnt go on nor charge. I kept taking battery out and back in at least 10 plus times. I thought I'd have to take in for sure but alas thank God it finally fixed itself. I've only had it 2 months I was like what the? ugh
4. So Saturday I went to Arizona Mills and filled out job apps. Took me about 3 hrs to fill out at least 10. Some are online and I didnt do that. But glad to get them done. And I have my first interview on Wed :))
5. Finally I saw the Sealife Aquairum and it was fun. Its where my sister works. I got in for free and I was glad. Different then the Cali one but still. Very cool fish ;)

Weekend 5 (Sunday, April 10th 2011)
Right...
1. I have begun to sketch again. When we were in high school in the 11th grade I was into skateboarding and would sketch pictures from picts in mags we got. Well now I'm back into doing them for ballet this time. Its really fun! I dont put faces on the pictures nor arms but they look really nice. I've done 14 so far and I am seriously thinking about looking into some pro art getting published. Shall see if it works out. Would rock since this is another talent of mine after writing :)
2. So Wed I went in for my follow up for the dentist and it went well. He said I'm healing and good blood clots. Even gave me a free water pik to use at night before bed. Its really funky but I am finally getting the hang of it. And the good news to follow is I think my hole has closed on my left side (the one that had the most decay and had a hole for a while before removal!). Cant wait to finally have them closed.
3. I did the job fair on Thur and I am very disappointed. Instead coming away with a job I came away with a headache. I have to work hard for this. Most dont have entry level. So I am trying to not get discouraged but instead use this as a stepping stone to future ideas for jobs. Prayers are welcome as I try to find work in my chosen field finally.
4. So we had this rain go thru Fri night and Saturday. It made it colder here. No joke last night 47. Even today only 67. Will warm up. I'm just not used to it being that cold in the Spring this late in the year. We were doing 100 just a bit over a week ago! Sheash.
5. Today marks 2 yrs since the tornados hit our little city of Murfreesboro, TN. 3 tornados hit the area one going straight behind our apt but we didnt even know it at the time as we were huddled in the bathroom. Our tiny bathroom with me, sister, 4 cats and a dog. I am grateful nothing happened. It did go thru on Good Friday so the name Good Friday tornados has stuck. 2 yrs later April 10th will never be the same again. (On a side note last yr on the 10th we did our second 5K in TN it was a lot of fun. I came in under 1hr and we had tons of free food after. Yum Yum)

Weekend 5 (Sunday, April 3rd 2011)
Long week...
1. I got my 2 top wisdom teeth out last week on Monday the 28th of March. The whole thing only took about 30 mint total if not less. I was awake for the whole thing. The one with the most decay came out but the other one took a few minutes to do. I swear he was pushing my head so far I thought it would come off. My head not the tooth. But finally done and glad there has been no pain since on them like I used to have. New pains but not the same...
2. Well this past week has been interesting. I've been stuck on a liquid diet and swallowing stuff whole if I cant drink it or swallow quickly. Making bread soggy has been my favorite thing to do. Last night I had fish which was interesting. My follow up is on Wed and I cant wait to drink soda and eat solids again. But it makes me nervous. A week later means less chance of Dry Socket which makes me glad. I'm glad its over with and been a week :)
3. I cant wait for the job fair this coming Thursday. I heard about it back in November and now its upon me. I am debating what to wear and how to look. In the end I cant wait to go there and show them I have something. Retail is at an end for me I can feel it. I am glad too. Now I can finally do my memoir in peace knowing nothing else to add. It will take a while but I cant wait to actually write it and put it out there for real :)
4. I am so glad about this. Found out last week we DONT have to do taxes for the state if we made under $5,000. Duh of course we didnt. We barely moved here. So no worrying about taxes is one more thing I am glad about. Even more glad we didnt actually go as far as to print and send it in before checking that because it was becoming a bigger pain the longer we went along. Of course next year we will probably have to file...
5. So we did church last night at night. It was different. Especially since the pastor isnt there for the night service. We spent the whole service thinking he was there not till the end did we realize it was a recording! He wasnt there. It made more sense he said "morning" in the beginning. It was too funny! If sis keeps up with this work schedule we may have to do nights on occasion if we want to do church more than once a month.
thats all folks!

In the end I cant wait to go there and show them I have something. Retail is at an end for me I can feel it. I am glad too. Now I can finally do my memoir in peace knowing nothing else to add. It will take a while but I cant wait to actually write it and put it out there for real :)
4. I am so glad about this. Found out last week we DONT have to do taxes for the state if we made under $5,000. Duh of course we didnt. We barely moved here. So no worrying about taxes is one more thing I am glad about. Even more glad we didnt actually go as far as to print and send it in before checking that because it was becoming a bigger pain the longer we went along. Of course next year we will probably have to file...
5. So we did church last night at night. It was different. Especially since the pastor isnt there for the night service. We spent the whole service thinking he was there not till the end did we realize it was a recording! He wasnt there. It made more sense he said "morning" in the beginning. It was too funny! If sis keeps up with this work schedule we may have to do nights on occasion if we want to do church more than once a month.
thats all folks!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, March 27th 2011)
Yeah...
1. I spoke to the dentist on Mon & Tue and thought I would not get to go in for my actual operation till April 11th which is not a good time since I wanted it done before my big job fair on the 7th. I went in Wed for my xrays and then on Thur when I least expected it someone cancelled. I'm now nervous as tomorrow (monday, 28th) I will getting my top 2 wisdom teeth out. 1pm PT. Wish me luck! :/
2. I sometimes do this when I can and have stamps. I will subscribe to a magazine that gives away free issues and then you cancel. So I get a couple of free issues all the price for a stamp. I havent done it a few yrs but am doing it with 3 mags now. Its probably a horrible thing but I dont have money and sometimes something almost free is a nice thing...
3. Finally got to see the Green Hornet on Friday at the cheap seats. It costs only $3 per person. We want to use this theater like we used to the one in HB, CA as much as we can. Not that $5 a person isnt cheap but if you add it up its still much cheaper this way. On Tue they do movies for $2. Its a really good deal!
4. So we went do our taxes on Sat only to find out we didnt have the state tax form. And now we have to find a way to print one out. Last I checked the site wasnt working and the library doesnt have any forms for free. So till we get this straightened out its a real pain in the butt
5. All the time I have these glimpses of things we used to do in TN. They come at all times and all hrs. I'm thinking of writing something down each time if I can so I can recall them better later. I can still see so clear so many things from our former state. It doesnt matter how long we've been gone or the fact we only lived there a few years. TN is like a second home to me and I miss it terribly.
Till next week I hope....

Weekend 5 (Sunday, March 20th 2011)
Okay... boring week :p
1. I finally got to use our weightroom on Friday. The machines arent bad and the room has a lot of nice features. But I have to admit I still miss our old weightroom in TN when we had a tv. Here I had to bring my music. And the machines I used one didnt have a place for water and I needed water so half way I lost my time cause it didnt pause right. Otherwise weightroom is nice and will try again soon :)
2. Spring Wipeout is now on tv. I have to say I really like this show. I loved the Summer one I got into yrs ago, saw some of the winter ones and now spring. All they need is fall and we will hit all the season. I could never do the show. So its fun to watch people who can and do ;)
3. Welcome Spring. In TN that meant welcome Tornado season. Here it means warmer temps. Although we have rain tomorrow (monday). Otherwise 90's coming soon and I think probably 100's as we get closer to June. I dont mind 80's or even 90's but closer to June makes me think of summer and 117 yikes haha
4. I love the harry potter wii lego game. Its addicting. Which is why we limit our game time to Friday nights only. Sometimes we pass a level so we can save in an hour but Friday it was 3hrs. Which was a bit annoying. Still we had fun and I am glad we actually did play the game till we finally could save. Its a lot of work to lose it like that.
5. We finally made the Phoenix Zoo on Saturday. What a blast we had! Sure it was 4hrs of walking around but it was a nice day for it too. Overcast and cooler like 80's maybe. But the clouds helped. Saw most of the animals. And will return. We wanted to go before the Koala's leave on the 31st and we did. And I'm glad. Wouldnt mind going back and volunteering sometime if I could pick any primemate area would rock. But the Monkey Village where squirrel monkeys ran free and all over and could land on you was my favorite. I wanted to take one home they so tiny and cute :)
tis all

Weekend 5 (Sunday, March 13th 2011)
Right on...
1. I made an appointment to go get my wisdom teeth out. My first thing is x-rays and this will be done next week on the 23rd at 7:40am. I dont look forward to this. Its only the top two I wish it was all of them. Thinking of doing this twice isnt a fun thought but they need it more then the bottom two. They hurt like crazy like last night especially the one that has been rotting away in there for 3.5yrs and still not gone :( Ugh teeth!
2. Wednesday night I didnt tell a lot of people that I had an interview at Gymboree. Its in our mall. I also applied for a new opening Disney Store but havent heard back. I really would love this job but as of today no call backs for second interviews. Maybe tomorrow or later this week...If God doesnt want me to have a job till the Job Fair next month for broadcasting I will wait patiently as I can...
3. We FINALLY got Jackie fixed. We got Rocky fixed March 13th 2009 and almost 2 yrs later Jackie on the 11th. We dropped her off at 7:00am and Mel got her after work at 5pm. She has healed nicely and only was shaved a little. Hard to believe after over 2 yrs of her being in heat she wont be anymore. I am glad this is done. She was peeing on stuff while in heat and her heats were lasting 2wks at a time mostly and then only a week break. Thank God its done!
4. Also got Rainbows shots updated. She now is all up to date on her shots and it costs me only $36. I am using my tax money wisely. She also has her license which I purchased later that day online and waiting for that to come in the mail. Now shes officaly a resident here even if my ID card wont be traded in till 2014 from TN's ;)
5. Finally we did our race for March on Saturday. The Nun Run in Tempe not at the lake surprising but a near by park. Only their second yr doing this. We did registration so we stood there and gave people bib's with their number, their timing thing for their ankle and tshirts. Then me and Mel got asked to do finish line. She held a clipboard and I called out numbers so she could write them down incase people forgot to take off their chips. Was exciting when they used our info to confirm a winner for the ladies 10K. The race was 10K, 5K and 1K. It was a lot of fun!
Till next week which is a whole lot less exciting... :p

Weekend 5 (Sunday, March 6th 2011)
A day late...
1. We skipped church today. Sis had some stomach issue. I was kinda sad as they were doing some big annoucement I wont ever hear now that we didnt go. But it threw off my whole Sunday cause I slept later. I didnt really want to do much and actually I didnt do much at all. Oh well I read a lot for sure :)
2. Thursday we finally made the Scottsdale Artwalk. We got there late so we missed most of the stores being open. But got some free food snacks and even got to try a little fizzy wine. It was okay. I prefer the ice cream we got after in downtown it had alcohol in it and it was really good! Very nice place wouldnt mind coming back. The artwalk was fun too. Saw Borders probably last time and it was sad I really love that two story place :(
3. I've been trying to get in shape again. I mean trying to try to get in shape again. So last week I went on two walks, did wiifit twice. Its not easy to do this. But since I dont work I just sit at home when not online so thats just me reading books and watching tv. I prefer working out and feeling better about myself! Here Here
4. The Oscars were really fun last Sunday! I really enjoyed them. I also thought Anne & James did a great job. I know James is a bit out there but its how he is. Have you seen him act? Its just how he is always not there. But they were funny together. I havent seen a lot of the movies that were up to win the big picture. But on my way to seeing #2 Social Network. I am up to #14 on the list and I only put myself on the lists last week. Nice!!
5. Finally last Tue was March 1st National Pancake Day. So we did make IHOP for once for the free pancakes. It was crazy busy. We had to wait 20 mint to sit down. But got out of there quickly once we ate. I am glad we finally made it. Been wanting to do this for a few yrs but never seem to be able to make it there on time. Yum Yum. I love them pancakes :)

Weekend 5 (Sunday, Feb. 27th 2011)
Yeah...
1. So today its nice and sunny but cold only around 55. Last night we had our little rain storm. I'm never gonna get used to this. We've been out here 7 months now going on 8 next month and still not used to up and down weather. I know maybe in July it will stick we live out here and its how it is. But for now its just crazy and its taking time...
2. So our friends in TN got their first almost tornado last Thur with chance #2 tonight. I dont miss all that crazy but I'm glad they are okay. I might on occasion miss crazy thunderstorms and snow but I never upon NEVER will miss tornados. Its just not possible to miss something that horrible! Cramming in our tiny bathroom with all the pets and not being able to breath it so hot.
3. So I spent half this week home and half not. Monday was a holiday so we did only at B&N then sis worked on Tue, Thur & Fri. But Fri we got a little online at B&N. So its been a crazy week. This coming one I will be actually online maybe every day possibly which is cool! I miss going online its never fun. One day wifi at home will be nice!!
4. I'm really excited they finally posted the job fair that I've been waiting for, for months! Its for the broadcasting thing for tv stations and radio. I am so hopeful this will lead me to a job I can hardly stand the wait. So much so I didnt see on their site so I emailed them they got back to me to tell me that its on April 7th. :))
5. Finally got to church today. We only went once last month and hadnt been really much since. Between them changing times on us and we doing races sometimes on Sundays we keep missing. Nice to be back. Only to see they dont do our month mag anymore and now have gone like everyone else to a bulletin. Like the church and annoucements on a big screen its a colorful little shiny two sided sheet of paper. Its better actually but I will miss the mags and glad we at least got to see a few before they stopped them. They havent had a new one since I think Nov of last year!
thats all for now...see you in march!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, Feb. 20th 2011)
1. I got my tax money this week and I am happy. It came in on Friday but I was not online all week. Then I see the date reads the 22nd so I was not able to still use the money. Its not a lot of money and most of it is already spent before I got it. But its important stuff the most important. I would have gotten more stuff but did not make that much. I still have to file my state tax one. I have been waiting for my sister to get her taxes done then we can file our state taxes together. You learn every day and we will learn from this too sadly.
2. Our second walk/race of this month was today (Sunday 20th). Sadly it was raining even though it wasnt a huge chance of rain. It was only a 30 to 60% chance and usually in AZ that doesnt mean rain. But of course it does mean rain when it shouldnt and was a bad time to do so. It rained a lot on Saturday and we thought Sunday we would have a break so we left early to see the walk and then had to park so far away a good 20 to 30 minute walk so we missed them starting. This walk was simliar to the walk in October for Autism we did last year. So we walked around instead got free dog stuff for Rainbow like treats and toys. We signed in early at 11am because it was pouring rain and we got soaked coming there to do it thinking we wouldnt be needed or get our early. We then left at 12 when we were supposed to start mostly because we were so cold and wet still and worried we would get sick. It took forever to
get warm in the car but we got warm and did a little shopping. That was not a fun race/walk. But we got two free shirts each out of it. I am going to need to start hanging these shirts there are SO many since we began this in 2009 :)
3. Wednesday two things happened. But the first was I found out Borders Books is now bankrupt. They are closing 200 of their 665 stores. And of all stores to close includes all in our AZ area which means I am glad I didnt get a job at one. And the other is our former store in TN. The one I worked for nearly 3 yrs. I cant believe it. Not one store but theirs in TN is closing. Sure they could get jobs at other stores if they wanted and they would take them on. Worse yet is that if the company does not get it together ALL the stores could close. I loved shopping there even if I was not working there. The thought the store we worked for will be gone deeply saddens me. We cant visit anymore and all our friends will lose their jobs. So this is not great or good news. I'm SO sorry Borders Books!
4. Last week was Valentines Day. I hate that day. I have been single my whole life. There is no other day where people are so excited about being in love then that day. So to me its just "Single Awareness Day" because no other day do you feel so single. One day sure I will get to celebrate it for real but for now nothing is great about that day. It is however my moms birthday so we do celebrate that she had fun. But although we had dinner out at Mimi's Cafe it was my sister and me and not a guy. You get the picture...
5. So Wednesday I also found out my phone was broken. Simply put. Tuesday night early Wednesday it was plugged in. I unplugged it and about an hour before bed I then plugged it back in and it wouldnt charge no matter what. I tried 3 different chargers and then hoped it was the charger itself. I woke
up too early on Wed and decided to see if my sisters charger worked well it did not. So my mom said I had to take it to an at&t on Thursday. Well we did and the charger she had worked but the battery she could not test it because she had none. So mom said go to best buy to upgrade for free since we havent gotten new phones since 2006. I did get my replaced in 2009 but not the same thing as this. Best Buy had some nice phones one I was okay with. I wanted a smartphone but its $20 a month and sadly I cant get it. So we almost got it but the computer down and my sister had to work. So Friday we went back to there and got me a new phone. Its blue and its called a Pantech Pursuit. Its more oval then rectangle and it fits in my palm of my hand. I got a case for it and I am anxious to get it protected as I am worried I will drop it. Sure I miss my other phone but I am getting used to this. It still has the keyboard, it still has a touch screen. It has some cool features too. Oh and we tested my old charger on my sisters phone and it charges that one JUST FINE! Yeah I dont get it either. She will upgrade hers too she found one she likes but we dont know when that will be. It was free just $18 to activate it.
Till next week...
