The last day of September hard to believe it!
1. My workouts this week havent been up to what I thought. I kinda skipped around on them. I should have done them at least on Tuesday & Thursday. But then Thursday I was too tired. I didnt do one yesterday as it was my Grandmas birthday (see one of the numbers below) and I ended up sleeping in and dying my hair. We are less now than 5 weeks from our race I need to get on my game plan for real!
2. Rainbow has something wrong with her eye but unsure what. It was all red and bled a little now its okay just very watery. I honestly think its her allergies and she is always rubbing them on stuff. Keeping an eye on it (excuse the pun) and will maybe take her to the vet this week very unsure about it. I am just worried she is my baby and I love her so much. I dont want her suffering. So till I figure it out I am giving her twice a day starting today on allergy meds, wiping her eyes with towels not a washcloth and putting eye drops in. Praying this clears up on its own cause vet bills arent cheap especially when it includes getting cheaper care by going out to Orange County.
3. Well this has been a week for jobs for me. On Thursday I had a job interview that sadly didnt turn into a job for Party City. I am trying Halloween City (associated with PC) hoping to apply asap. I just need something in October to get me by during the week. On the weekends well I got a job at LL again just Saturdays and Sundays. I am very excited about it but nervous too. But since I got on so easily I am 99% positive I should be able to get back on with them easier in November then I thought which means something went in my favor at least after all the job crap I went through end of August with my review and such. I am nervous thinking about asking to be put somewhere else in the park. It will affect my hours (I wont get as many) and I will be sad to not work with all my favorite leads but it has to be done.
4. Finally made it to our Single Way Fellowship on Friday. We skipped the ones in August & July various reasons. But back at it. Was a nice message. But went over in a time a little which wasnt fun. I was super tired so I'm glad I was able to stay awake for it. The starbucks coffee always is a big help!
5. Yesterday should have been my Grandma's 100th birthday. But she died in 2006. I miss her a lot truly do and its not easier like they said. I think I was too close to her to be easier she was like a parent not a grandma. So maybe will never stop being so hard. We sent her two balloons to heaven which was fun to do. I love doing this. Our 4th year doing this. Hope she enjoys them as always.
Till next weekend gonna be an interesting week indeed...
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, Sept 23rd 2012)
And back to being weekend 5...
1. Celebrated Mistys birthday on Monday for real. Hard to believe my youngest sister is 26! So we gave her some gifts (she loved ours happy!). And got ice cream at Cold Stone. It was fun. Just a bonus day from Saturday before :)
2. This week I applied for a job with Fresh & Easy (again). I also applied for a job with Party City. A seasonal position only for October. Should they take me on and I get back on with LL then I would be busy next month but happy! Heres to hoping as PC hasnt called me yet (I will check back on Wed). I've been getting nowhere with LL so far. I called them Wed then again Fri. Good news: they havent called anyone (in fact they dont have ENOUGH people applying yet). Bad news: I still have NO idea what is going on and if there are issues with me. I will be talking to them again I hope for real tomorrow (mon)
3. Loving church. Then tried out this life group thing. I dont know if its for me. To be honest it wasnt what I thought and I wasnt so into it. So I am unsure if I will keep going back on Tuesday nights. We shall see I may give it a go one more time to make sure. But church is great. New series start today and hope to make it in person for every single one of it (8 weeks total)
4. Workouts are going very well! I am still at run/jog 4min walk 2. I could be up to 5 twice on Fri night I went past 4 without noticing. But I am still aiming to be doing 5 & 1 in Oct. I may up myself first week of Oct to 10 min total of each set and then second week start on 1 & 5 we shall see. Race is now just under 6 weeks away!
5. Said good bye to Summer and hello to Fall yesterday. Hard to believe we have come full circle in our seasons and time out here. Just hard to believe in general. I recall how exciting Summer was for me and how disappointed I was with it. I had to fight for hours at work and I worked all the time. I loved/love my job of course but sadly never made the beach to go in the water but ONE time. And I live 10 min from it. So Summer is gone and now onto Fall and gee whiz Sept almost gone this year is nearly done WOW!
Till next week the last week of September...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 16th 2012)
Second weekend in row I have more than 5 updates...lets call this the weekend 7!
1. Workouts this week werent as many as I wanted. I ended up only working out twice skipping yesterday cause we was out of town all day. But it was nice. I am now up to 4min 2min still. The heat kills me but the evening is nice. When I get into the groove of things I really love it. Yes its truly working out is a joy for me. Its fun and flies by. I will never be a real "runner" I will always be a jogger. Mainly cause of my weight & also cause of my bad knee(s) but I am okay with that. Cause its fun and I dont mind
2. On Tuesday me and my sister had a very fun day out. Well most of it. We started out by driving out the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla an honestly only 30 min drive (thought 45). She treated us but we had a buy 1 get 1 free so it wasnt too bad. Not a huge aquarium but like zoo's I always love aquariums and had a real fun time. My favorite time was seeing the seahorses! And the HUGE aquarium tank that reminded me of a mini but still aquarium in TN. Also the baby sea creatures they were caring for was so cute! Never seen such tiny things. If I had money I would have bought more at their gift shop! We HOPE and I say HOPE to maybe do the haunted thing they do end of Oct but it would be $17 or $19 a person so we shall see... Later on we did Olive Garden. A friend gave us two gift cards $25 each so we had fun eating all you can eat pasta. I was in love so much and only could eat 2 bowls taking a third with us. Fun times!
3. I applied on Friday finally for a job back with LL next month for the events. This is the halloween thing they do on the weekends. I am really hopeful they said they will talk to me this week once I apply. I just hope and pray it wont be bad with my bad review. We shall see. Hoping also someone gets back to me about that review as my sister talked to a higher up to look it over. Hoping and praying for good things ahead for me coming back to the park and doing something been wanting to do since I knew about it would be dream come true :)
4. It was so hot for Friday & Saturday I thought I was back in Arizona! Even now on Sunday its ONLY 84 while that would be hot after 2 straight days of it being over 100 in the house even I think this is a well deserved change as we speed this week towards fall kissing good bye summer it was like the last thing. My parents say it NEVER been that hot in this area so we actually brought it with us. Horrible heat so glad you are gone
5. Spent yesterday heat & all up in San Diego. A year later again for Mistys birthday (her bday is this year tomorrow it was on Sat last year). First we went to the La Jolla lighthouse was a ton of fun seeing it a third time. Heat was a killer I was inside partly to get away from it. Then we did up Shelter Island found a beach even to put our feet in the water (wish I could have swam in it) it was too hot. Also went to Seaport Village we havent been there in a few years it was fun and even got to buy a few things.... All & all a whole day out was a ton of fun :)
AND
6. Tuesday marked 11 years since 9/11. I wasnt able to properly think about it last year or anything as we was in the middle of trying to get out of our apt in AZ very quickly. I remember every detail still from that day. The events and things I did that day. I have always said it and I will always say it. I wont forget that day & please dont forget either
7. Its been ONE full year since we moved back out here. Its been one heck of a year too. So much has happened so much hasnt. I still cant believe we are still here and not moved again. I cant believe we made it a year its just crazy. I dont know the lesson we are meant to learn before we leave again but I am praying it wont be another year till we are back on our own. I miss everything about AZ and even TN. Wonder sometimes how things would be if we had chosen to stay in TN or if things had worked in AZ. Playing the what if game might not be smart but sometimes I do it all too much.
Till next week super boring probably compared to the last two but yeah...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 9th 2012)
So this blog date falls on 2 things: 1 year since we got our U-Haul to move quickly back to CA. And its Grandparents Day even if I have no grandparents left to celebrate :( Btw this is like the weekend 8 so much to say which is shocking but true!
1. After my last day of LL I had some last things to do. On Monday even though I could have worked I wasnt scheduled on my last real day. So instead I tagged along with my sister who was working in the morning. After spending my last time in the wardrobe area working on reading a book & taking notes off phone I went into the park. First visiting the SL aquarium first. Then I walked all of the park taking pictures of everything unsure if I will be back. Talked to a friend/former co-worker who moved to another part of the park about my situation. She only kinda helped me feel better. Then had my last dessert & ice coffee (the coffee wasnt as great as I was hoping ugh lol). On Friday I had to drop off my clothes, id, and MMP. I got my last check which was almost what I thought. It was a sad week last week really hard trying to get by and being hopeful for getting back on as soon as possible! But this week I have missed working in general...
2. I took some book notes last night! Go me. Book notes mean: take a book from the library and take notes about stuff I want to keep so I can use it for the future without buying the book. Been wanting to do some for a while. Its usually writing books although in AZ they had such a great group of dummies book I havent seen in the libraries out here I really miss book notes on them. But glad i am finally starting to get stuff done again!
3. Wednesday I had a phone interview with Crate & Barrel. Only my second phone interview ever. But I am not hopeful because she is only taking on 1 or 2 people and I'd need it to be full time. Its nice they start at like $10 an hour. As much as I would love this job it would only work if they kept me FT as its 40 min from home. And I havent heard back. She had 38 people apply including me so there ya go. But at least I'm out there trying. I have applied for one actual job so far but not heard back will check back this week. Its a tough time of year inbetween Summer & Seasonal Christmas time and this is the time we came out last year and tried for jobs so yeah...shall see.
4. I worked out this week twice which was great but not the three times as planned. I do plan to go workout again today. I am now up to 4min run/2 min walk. Its not easy but getting closer to my goal. I know this race isnt timed but I dont want to walk the whole thing either. I would rather enjoy it, run part of it and walk part then just walk the whole thing.
5. Celebrated birthday with dad on Friday first time in 5 years. Too funny is the fact that it fell on a Friday in 2007 the last time we celebrated with him. Had fun going to Islands and then later on Boomers for mini golf always a blast. I love mini golf. Good times
AND
6. This week marked the 5 year anniversary of our 2nd trip to TN. It wasnt much of a success as I didnt get the job at B&N I'd gone for the new one opening. We did find our apt but no openings (one opened eventually). The B&N thing caused issues at my current B&N job and in the end well we know how it turned out. But hard to believe 5 years ago and here we are again truly surprising
7. The bug guy came and sprayed for fleas on Thursday. We had to be out of the house with all the pets for 3 hrs from 12-3. So me and my sister had coffee from starbucks. Then lucky us Arby's chose that day for them to give out their NEW turkey sandwich for free. So that was lunch along with some fries. We spent the rest of the time around 2.5hrs hanging out at this park near by called Budd Todd never been to. It was a lot of fun just relaxing in the shade, reading and thinking. I wouldnt mind going back. Hope this worked cause it was a much bigger pain doing this then the bug/ant spray we had done few months ago. We had to move everything off the carpets and away from walls on the floors. Lets hope this is never repeated again!
8. The weather today (Sunday) was just so great I had to write about it at the end here. I was on my workout and there was thunder and the clouds were coming in towards us. But that was it then it rained a little bit. We went off to church (First time in months btw great time!). And heard it rained a lot in our area but we was in San Marcos so it did rain just not as much. Came home to lightning cool in the clouds, then its been kinda raining off & on past hour. Hope it clears by tomorrow but really enjoying this change of weather. Here in this area especially we usually either get: sun, overcast, or rain. There isnt much other kinda weather in Cali all year long. Missing TN & AZ tonight but this will have to do. Bring on the storms! :)
Hoping this next week my first real one not working or going to the park will go alright...till then

Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 2nd 2012)
Not a good week, but welcome to September
1. On Monday my cousin finally had her baby. A nice 8lb 21" daughter named Audrey Shay. She is simply adorable. They have yet to put up picts on fb but I saw them on my phone :) I cant wait to meet her! I am glad they had a safe delivery and seh is home now doing well!! Congrads again to them both
2. I worked out only ONE time this week. Yeah I suck. I blame my reason below on this one. I will be back on track this week as I wont have much to do for the next few months...sigh. I did however beat my cough FINALLY its gone!
3. I worked a lot actually 6 full nice shifts. And that made me happy. What didnt make me happy was Wed finding out I wasnt being taken on even though they took on EIGHT new people and one more got what my sister got (yearly-can come back in Oct for weekend events). And Thur my horrible review told why. Full of lies that I dont believe or get and ending with I can only MAYBE come back in the fall. Things are so unsure I am now only buying a laptop and not my ipod even though I still have $$ for both for fear I might not have work in 2 months time. I now hate my job and I am very upset in general. Sad how one person can go and do that for you :(
4. Went to the beach on Fri on our day off. Didnt go in the water but walked the pier which made me happy. I love walking on that thing. Saw the sunset and saw the ocean, smelled it. The beach always has and will always make me super happy :)
5. Its been one full year since we found out we had to move back to CA in a weeks time. What a crazy insane not always fun year its been. We have had so much to deal with. Sad that a year later we are still in the same state as we began: mostly in boxes, at home with parents, not in good jobs, not leaving anytime soon. I cant even get an internship because I didnt get enough hours this summer to save for one! God has plans for us but again I am doubting, and wondering what they are. My faith is always being tested and this past year has been the hardest for me in a long long time. Praying things look up soon and start working out and maybe would be nice to finally see the real reasons behind such things that happened.
till next week will be boring no work nothing much at all...
