Last one of these for 2012 CRAZY!!
1. Well my job this week was going alright. In fact my hours werent so bad at all. I worked 5 days total which was good of last week that is. But I havent worked since I was called in on Friday to work a closing. I am grateful for that shift even more now that I am JOBLESS! Yes *I* am. Why? 3 weeks before I should be I was suspended from my job when someone stole some money from our register and I happened to be working THAT day. I wasnt working with it was taken, it happened during the afternoon or at night. But they want their money back and so I am suspended. But in this company's terms that is fired. I have one more check now on the 7th. I was counting on money coming in till the last Monday of January. 3 weeks worth of pay, 3 weeks worth of checks DOWN THE DRAIN! ALL cause I *happened to be working that day*. I am just trying now to look back and maybe there is a reason God yanked me out of there so fast. Something horrible. I have to believe there is a good reason that I lost my work, my chance for saving for anything past January except storage unit in Feb, for my ipod, etc. I have to believe it but its really hard. It keeps hitting me. I dont have a job, and the reason is thee most unbelievable thing to ever happen to me. I would NEVER EVER STEAL from a job. Not even a penny! They want their money & info on who took it. I just wish whoever took it, and I suspect who would have just given the money back. Then I would still have a job. UGH. Okay I have said enough unsure how much I can say but who cares I'm fired why does it matter :(
2. We actually had rain past few days. Even tonight. Its making it really feel like its Winter. Funny thing is the world didnt end on Friday like they said. So the world kept going, its Winter. And its been raining. I love this weather because I am not in it nor have a job that depends on it. But I still wish we could have snow. I miss snow. I miss REAL winter!
3. The hunt for calendars was my fun on the 26th. I got some at our kiosk in the mall (not OUR kiosk). I got some at another kiosk not the one we planned on. And I got one more at Barnes & Noble. I got MOST of the same calendars I usually get. The only one I didnt was my ballet one which I have now replaced with Supernatural and my Meerkat mini box calendar which I could not replace decided not to. So thats all good... I'm pleased with the ones I got. I got almost all of them so very glad indeed :)
4. Christmas was a lot of fun actually. I can now say what I got yeah! From my aunt & uncle I got two regal movie tickets (debating what two we will see) as did my sister. So we are seeing a movie later this week! From my parents $50 (spent all on calendars). Mel gave me two movies the first Dark Knight Movie Batman Begins, & Captain America, my friend Nikki gave me a gc to target, a gc to mcdonalds and a gc to starbucks (already used almost or all of each of them), my cousin Jenny gave me a gc to Target. It was a fun day. We opened gifts. My sister worked at LL so I went back to bed got up later. Our uncle came over we had dinner. Then he left. My cousin came later on and we hung out for like 4hrs. Then bed right after! :)
5. I wanted to try to review quickly some of the stuff that happened this year:
My best friend dropped me on fb we was friends 14yrs it still hurts what she did and why I will never fully understand, I spent all summer saving and got myself a new computer and a new ipod touch. Only to lose my ipod few weeks ago and never got it back! :( We had bugs but the bug guy sprayed them away (mostly ants) & they havent come back. I worked a lot at LL from March-Sept then Oct too. I worked at a calendar kiosk again till I lost my job. My cousin had a baby little Audrey a pure joy I want to see again soon in person my cute second cousin. We went to Disneyland & California Adventure for the 1st time since May 2010. Saw the madam tussads in Los Angeles and hung out in hollywood for the day was super fun! I aged another year gulp 33! Rainbow turned 10, Jackie & Rocky turned 4, Maggie turned 8. We had an election and the current pres got re-elected (no comment). Went to the Wild Animal Park for the first time since we was kids for FREE all cause we volunteered at the race. We also saw the Birch Aquarium which was a blast. And we volunteered for a race in January that took place inside LL so we did that in the rain. I read a lot of books, got really into good reads & get glue checking in is simply addicting! I gained and lost friends on fb my gains higher. My sisters car troubles top our ending here. I cant think of anything else but I am sure more happened for sure real stuff!
Happy New Year 2013! See you next year everyone :))
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 23rd 2012)
First of all Merry Christmas to all!!
1. Saw "The Hobbit" on Monday. Wanted to watch a midnight showing but never could so we saw it on Monday instead. It was less crowded and during the day. But still fun! Well the movie was excellent. I am lucky I read up until almost the end of the movie. I promise to finish the book before the movie next year. Although at this rate I guess I should read just the next part (kidding) . Do be sure to see it especially if you like the lord of the rings films before this one (well tech they come after this one but hey)
2. Tuesday was the most fun day of this week. Early Birthday present in some ways. We went to Disneyland and California Adventure for FREE! There for over 12hrs between 9:30am and 10:30pm. Left a bit early got tired and I had to work next day. I love both parks. I miss what they changed but will deal with it best I can. Fun times SO glad we got to do this after our failed attempt last year!
3. Been working less this week but doing okay. I worked last weekend and then not on Monday nor Tuesday nor Thursday. So I worked 4 days total. Work drama is crazy this job is nuts. HF will be gone this coming week but glad my job will last till Jan 17th and I will have $$ coming in till end of month!
4. My birthday was on Thursday. Yes I turned 33 there I admit the number. I might not look my age some might say my 20's most are shocked how old I am. For my birthday this year I didnt work yeah! I got it off. We went to Balboa Park in San Diego. It was a cooler day but sunny and nice. Was there a few hours. Then we went to CiCi's endless pizza for dinner very yum. Came home for cake and bed early. GOOD birthday loved it!!
5. The world didnt end on Friday the 21st. I didnt think it would. No man knows the hour. I have been hearing about this date since I worked at Borders so between 2008 and 2009 I heard about it. I knew it wouldnt. There was just foolish people. And of course it is now WINTER and feels like it trust me. Been using blankets and the heater for a good couple of weeks now. Winter has finally arrived. I wish we could get snow here :(
till next week the LAST Sunday in 2012 crazy this year is almost over!!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 16th 2012)
This is the last blog before my next birthday. Breath deep, gulp and well move on...this coming week is super busy but last one was kinda boring lol
1. Workouts this week have been small. Due to weather and such I think I went on maybe 2 walks total. Kinda getting nervous as I am still planning this race in Feb and neither me nor my sister have tried to train. Its kinda confusing. I need to get moving soon. I cant make work my excuse or its never gonna happen as this job is another month long and the race is on the 3rd of Feb oh dear :/
2. Work is a headache. I cant really say too much. Except how much this job they put too much pressure on themselves and us for a seasonal job seriously. Drama all the time. More drama I than I have ever seen at any of my jobs. This is even beating weird drama we used to get at the kiosk when I worked for Borders! I hate change and these changes rocked me this week and left me very sad that they ended like this :( I am grateful for more hours this week and two days off I asked but still ugh. One more month I dont want the job to end but the drama I really wish it would!
3. Its been raining a lot this week off and on. Here and there. I swear one day it was fine now its raining now its not. And inbetween this its cold like cold at night and cold during the day. I am making good use of my Rainbow Brite snuggie when I am home. At night sleeping under the covers and doing my favorite winter thing: cuddling with my Rainbow who loves warm covers at night just like me! I prefer cold over heat ANY day thank you (due to my hotter blood temperature I naturally hate too much heat thanks)
4. As I stated I am one week away from my birthday, well tech thats 4 day more. Its been one heck of a year and the journey towards my 33rd yr on earth is really just rocky all the way. Wondering what the next year will bring me. Let you know how I come out on the other side of this odd ball of a number. I will be an odd age heading into an odd year fun times (I hate odd numbers). With all this odd numbers maybe I will end up with an even good time and something WONDERFUL will happen especially something unexpected!
5. My dog is the last thing on this list but I have to say her *issue* isnt going away. And I have TRIED everything. All but getting more pumpkin which cost a lot and she hates but actually works. Doesnt help the cats keep throwing up even though I give them hairball stuff we need to start brushing them. These are our kids so there you go dealing with their little issues best we can
till next weekend busy week ahead!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 9th 2012)
loooonnnngggg week
1. Workouts kinda suck. I couldnt even pull a zumba this week. I am hoping to be working out for real soon since our next race is less than 2 months away. Way we are both going (sister and me) neither of us will work out much and be walking a whole lot. We shall see!
2. Well work is okay. I keep getting extra shifts but none are helping. Especially since I planned to be working at least 20 hours a week and now I'm fighting just like my former job for my hrs. But they are nice and they do come. Its not easy because I had to add in there getting a new ipod. I really am aiming for the newer one so thats like almost $300 more sometime in January. Here's to hoping I can save for all I need with such crappy hours at a temp job that ends on January 17th. I love who I work for the job is easy just wish the hours would be given more to all of us because we are working hard and doing not too bad
3. I was just thinking today about getting my other ear top of pierced. Its a goal to do this for my birthday. But I got all nervous. I really need to stop wishing and doing things and then freaking out when the time comes. I hope I can pull through I did this fine in 2001 or 2002 and it turned out well. A matching set isnt bad. And its not a tattoo the one thing I really want but can never save for....
4. My sisters birthday came and went. She is now 30 wow. I cant believe that. I cant believe my younger sister has just stepped into the 30's with me. It doesnt seem possible. We went ice skating but she skated 20 min I pulled myself around the rink one time because they paid and couldnt get money back. Truly sucked. I hate ice skating. Not because its not fun I swear if my bad knee I mean if I hadnt had a bad knee I wouldnt have worried so much but I was parnoid. Not a good experience. Dont think I will ever do that again. Well we did that and lunch out. Fun continued next day
5. On Friday Rubys Dinner from this part of the USA celebrated their 30th birthday. The day after my sister of all times. So they put their prices back way cheap to when they opened back in 1982. So we had food after work it was fun! And cheap man. We paid just around $14 with tip for two cheeseburgers, two shakes, two coffees and two fries. Yummy! And fun :)
till next time

Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 2nd 2012)
Well December has begun with a not so good note...read on. Oh and the world ends on the 21st for real! Haha
1. Workouts this week I kinda did a few. Not really much. I wanted to do more. Might get back into Zumba. I am totally serious and committed more and more to the race in February so that 5K is going to be lots of walking if I dont start something soon! The workouts I did this was for Rainbow. Getting her on 15 min walks are best I can do every few days. More later I hope
2. Well work was okay when I went in on Monday. Then it went not so okay. Of all days to pick on all the kiosk they pick on cyber monday. Tell us we cant have more than one person open, one person close and one person mid. Shifts must be 4hrs no longer. Yeah fun stuff like that. Thats how my week of originally 31.5hrs down to 28 dropped to 23. Sigh. I dont look forward to this next week (I began that on Saturday) already shaping up to be worse then last week. I will be lucky for 24hrs a week and I will be in trouble this week if I go under 21. I have lots to save for and its really not cool. Especially since I was hired full time. Drama at work sucks. I really like who I work for and with no complaints, I dont mind the job its easy way easier then the kiosk in TN even if we are small and dont make much. But this sudden shocking cut like that really didnt make this week easy at all. I worked a lot of days but not a lot of hours :/
3. Well we had some actual rain this week. Wednesday night, Thursday off and on and some of Friday too. Yup. Rain real rain. It might come back tomorrow or it might not for a while who knows. My sister gets her car taken in again tomorrow but shorter time. This last week she dropped off Monday and supposed to have back by Wednesday? They took till Friday no joke at all
4. I got a new phone. On Monday crap as it was I was gonna try. I was kinda upset so I didnt pay attention to the kind I got and could have gotten updated versions to my parents (unsure if they include flash). So I got a samsung instead. Its okay. I 'm getting used to it but its taking time. Give me a few weeks or months or whatever.
5. My bad news for this month so far is: I lost my ipod. Although my supervisor is checking the kiosk again tomorrow I doubt she will find anything as she didnt today. I brought it to work but I overslept major and put it not thinking in my front pocket. It fell out. Somewhere between the house and work. It wasnt with me at the kiosk cause I took my bag out twice and the pocket was empty. So I thought it was at home but its not. Its not outside the house either. I checked security in the mall nothing. I paid nearly $215 for that thing and only had it since mid-September and now I will have to replace it. Yeah right. IF I do it wont be till next month end of thats if I get enough hrs and stay thru to the 17th when we scheduled to close. I have to save for other stuff too. I could save sooner but my hours are so crap it will be very hard to get Christmas gifts, calendars I want on the 26th, pay for our race for both of us, and save for the future. AND save for an ipod. There goes the cats scratching post again I was dreaming of till now. Life just turned bad on me and I cried a whole lot I'm not lying. Some dumb person stole it from me headphones and all like it was a gift. I feel punished, wronged, mad and depressed. I saved all Summer for that ipod and my laptop. To have that taken from me because of one tired mistake really just not make me a happy person :(
till next weekend doubt it could be worse
