Last weekend & last entry in Octobor? Crazy stuff!
1. Spent the first part of last week trying to NOT get the stomach flu bug that my youngest sister brought home. SHE got it on Saturday night. And by Monday night my mom got it too but she was the end of it. Thank God that my dad, me and my middle sister managed to escape it. Twice I thought I was going to get it really worried. I was still working and we have a race in a week it would have NOT been good timing. Plus I hate the stomach flu. I havent had it since 2006 when I got it so bad that I popped the blood vessles in my eyes and they were bleeding. It was freaky looking. I had to work for a couple of days like that. No fun at all!
2. I worked my last two shifts this weekend. I got shifts both days again was very glad for that. Last night (Saturday) we was the busiest yet. I spent the whole time either restocking the "stock" area for the closest trail. Or putting together glow braclets. Today I was back in the houses again after a two day break (yesterday & last Sunday). I was in the drink house but they moved me for SOME reason unknown almost 2hrs into my shift. My review was horrible this time around. They wont even take me back at events and I'm hoping that doesnt mean the whole park! I'm calling HR tomorrow cause I need to know if I need to look for work elseware. I have applied because they are hiring at attractions, retail & admissions. I think they are getting ready for holiday season. I am secretly hoping they will take me back on sooner then later. I honestly NEED a job by mid November or I'm screwed as I only saved for so much non-work over the Summer and that ends by mid month. We.Shall.See. Sigh
3. I havent been doing good on workouts this week. Funny thing is next time I write this I will have done our Color Run. SO I really need to get going with this. I mean it! Tomorrow & Wed are my last two workout days. But I am aiming very high to do some light workouts on Tue & Thur with a walk only on Friday. We get our packets on Friday and we go and do the Color Run in San Diego (see website http://www.thecolorrun.com ) the 1:30pm set if you want to see me race :)
4. All ready for Halloween we are. This year only small amount of candy might last an hour two if we are lucky. All from dollar store or 99cent store. So its real candy just smaller amounts and none of the good stuff. We have a pumpkin we put stuff in. Cobwebs on our bushes. My three lego halloween things up. We are set. I cant dress up, I cant go to a party, I cant do too much, but hope it will be fun! Love Halloween.
5. National Novel Writing Month begins this coming Thursday. While I had my idea near month ago for my book I havent planned but one thing for it. So this week I literally have THREE days Mon-Wed to plan the rest of it or be screwed. I dont want to do NO planning or I will be a dead repeat for my first year in 2008 where I planned nothing but some names if that I dont think I even planned that. I went into it blind. While the story idea was good I believe the story itself was biggest crap I have written. I seem to improve over the years. 2010 & 2011 I love so such I want to make them books if possible. We shall see. And hope this year I dont screw up too much or November will be a long month indeed. I MAY try to do the poem a day too but only if I can stretch my creative juices that much more.
Till next week aka next month AFTER of which I will have ran my race and began my book!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 21st 2012)
Okay then...
1. Work outs this week have kinda sucked. I did one total yes one. I worked out on Wednesday. I skipped Monday, I skipped Friday and I skipped today. The next time wont be till Tuesday. We are now less then 2 weeks from The Color Run and guess what? I'm unprepared. I may be walking and running what I am doing now 4R/2W if I dont pick things up. If I want to be running more I HAVE to be at 5R/1W starting Tuesday and keep it up till race day. We.Shall.See.
2. I worked both days again this weekend. Woohoo for me. I worked yesterday 5.5hrs in house #5 again pretzels and glow sticks. But it was fun. Except when the lights went out, the fact it began to drizzle & rain an hour before we done, and the fact that two spiders joined me and I had to shoo them out ew. I worked today as a stamper, stamping the kids hands as they came in. Was fun. Slower today due to the weather but all good!
3. Jackie is doing better. A week after we began the hairball meds she is doing fine. As of this week I will drop her down to once a week. And keep up with the brushing every day. Not always easy but I hope worth it. She feels better and cost less for me.
4. I went to Legoland on Friday for 4hrs. I did have to get my paycheck. But I also came to buy the Brick or Treat cup I wanted, one Halloween cookie, and a surprise unplanned pumpkin shake. Fun times! I had a lot of fun. Plus I got to catch up my church notes, read, write and relax.
5. The weather this week is SO California. We had a heat spell since last week till Wednesday. On Wednesday it was 94* that is just wrong for CA this time of year. I am so glad it dropped. Then it rained last night and part of this morning. Just grateful it went partly cloudy while I worked my shift. Hoping soon this will be cooler temps only I can handle cool not hot then rain blah
till next week!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 14th 2012)
Boring week I guess haha
1. My workouts have been not super grand. I have tried so badly to get in my workouts but something seems to cut me short. I did not work out yestersday I was too tired. I worked out on Tuesday but it was cut short when I went out too late. I did manage 8 sets in but I am still at 4min run/2 min walk. I did better on Thursday pulling in 10 sets my goal. We are now less then 3 weeks from the race and I am still not where I desire time wise. Tomorrow my *GOAL* is to be running 5min/1min walking but I am unsure yet if this will happen. I could extend my time to 5min run/2 min walk and just do less sets which I guess would be 8.5 sets total (so I could round to 9 or down to 8). I guess we shall see how I do! And go from there sigh. Glad this thing isnt timed gee whiz
2. We had some REAL rain this week. Not kidding. But it didnt last long. It rained some on Wednesday night. Then on Thursday at 11am LOUD THUNDER like Southern TN kinda stuff woke me up. It freaked out my poor dog as it didnt end with the first one kept going that for about a half hour with pouring rain. Then the rain was gone. It came back that night but not for that long and gone for good. California storms are so odd. And now today and tomorrow back to early 80's in October. Ugh bring on the fall weather please
3. I worked more this week then I thought. I actually picked up a shift on Monday helping build the 10' Lego Vampire (well helping the guest help build it). Sadly my shift was cut short. I was going to work 8.5hrs so with lunch 8. Then after I took my lunch they cut me down to 4.5hrs (5 if I hadnt gone). Ugh. However this weekend I pulled in two shifts not one. I worked yesterday my same 4-9:15 shift (actually didnt clock out till 9:37 it was BUSY!). Then today I worked 11:30-5:15 no lunch. So that was good. I know for a fact I'm pulling in more than likely 23.5hrs total on this check that i thought would only be 10hrs if I was lucky (Saturday 2x and that it). So I am happy with that even if I did loose 3.5hrs extra. Two more weekends to go sadly and this will be over. Its weird having only a weekend job it feels like I dont have a job till I work once or twice.
4. Friday was fun. I wanted to dress up to join the people dressed like Vampires at LL but I couldnt find anything cheap to use for make up so I didnt. But I did go to the park for the event from 3-5:30. I watched the 700 plus people dressed like the living dead pose for pictures and walk around. It was a blast! Yeah vampires :) (these are the regular kind not the Twilight kind haha)
5. Jackie is what rounds up my top 5 this week. Yesterday we got up and she was acting funny. She couldnt seem to throw up any hairballs. She was throwing up liquid just a little here and there and that was it. She wasnt eating just drinking water. Laying around acting funny. Got very worried she never had problems before with hairballs. Rocky & Jackie never had issues so bad we had to take them to the vet so far in their 4years with us so guess it had to end. Well thank God we got some stuff from Walmart for hairballs and she seems better. I will be treating her for the next few days. She did wise up to me today and scratched me when I went to put it in her mouth. But last night she had no clue I was coming till I did. I worry about our kids all the time. Rainbow, Jackie, Rocky & Maggie are our kids. I know we now live back at home but they will always be our kids till they are no longer with us and God willing that wont be a long long time for any of them. Love my babies
till next week

Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 7th 2012)
Welcome to OCTOBER!
1. My workouts this week SUCK! I didnt really do any. I went on Monday but not Wednesday or Friday. I'm doing one today if it kills me later. But seriously need to get on my game plane. We are now less than ONE MONTH from The Color Run! I'm excited but nervous same time. No clue why. Maybe because of how unprepared I am to run this thing. I never really run I walk/jog ha. I am up to 10x at 4R/2W. I SHOULD be up to 5R/1W by now. My goal is to start that this week sometime or next week at the latest. We shall see!
2. The weather is finally cooling down. Last night I had to use the fan again (I do this if its at least 80 in the house and it was). But the night before it was only 77 when I went to bed so I didnt use the fan till I woke up in the afternoon. I look forward to not using it at night anymore. It helps when its cooler I sleep better and longer. Good thing when I'm not working much. Plus I keep going to bed too late again I started this naughty habbit and cant seem to kill it unless I have to (aka have a job or a reason to be in bed earlier and up earlier next day). But at least its Fall. Last year at this time it was cooler and raining. Three days ago at this time last year was the day I went to the Carlsbad Outlet in the POURING COLD RAIN and applied for jobs. Which lead to my interview and hiring for a month at Carter's Clothing store. Proof it was either colder last year or warmer this year (I have no clue I'm still new at this living in CA by beach thing)
3. I got to meet my 2nd cousin Audrey on Wednesday. Originally was gonna use this day to take Rainbow to the vet in Orange County (Garden Grove) but her eye thank God is better (been taking good care of her daily giving her allergy pills, cleaning her eye with water & drops lot of TLC & prayer). I am in love with that baby. And babies in general. It makes me even more want kids and wonder when that will happen. I held her twice, second time was better cause she wasnt all upset. And I still can do the baby whisper an calmed her down once when her daddy was holding her. It was fun hanging out. Everything about the day warmed my heart towards her and future kids I want to have :)
4. Orientation for Brick or Treat was so much fun! We got paid to eat pizza. Then hear about the event, see the comedy show "Mail Order Monsters", watch the "light show" on the castle, check out the two brick or treat (trick or treat) paths, and watch the Witchettes perform. I was SO excited about the event from just Thur night :)
5. Saturday I worked my first shift at the park. I was there 4-9:15. And it was FUN. My arms were super sore after giving out my food for 4.5 hours but otherwise had a blast. I gave out pretzels and starting at 5 glow braclets (sticks). I love the costumes, the people, the events, and the park in general. I get an extra shift tomorrow helping build the 10' vampire. It unusual to work during the week but I need the $$ and cant wait. This is the most fun I've ever had a JOB. I volunteer for races an do simliar stuff with no pay. I'm getting paid to have FUN. I love Halloween, LL, Brick or Treat. I'm SO SO happy still I get to be a part of this!!
Till next weekend
