Its the LAST weekend of January 2013 that is just crazy!! :O
But so much has happened or not so far this year...
1. My workouts this week have been VERY bad. I mean it. I didnt really do anything hardly. I did one workout and that was it. I should have done more I know I should have but things happened. Guess I will be walking this run next weekend because I am NO WHERE near ready. Although probably more ready then I was for the jingle bell run in 2008 my first 5K I walked the whole thing, it was freezing and I carried my dog instead of letting her walk haha. Oh well I am sure it will be fun. Next time I write it will be over so this is my last time to brag about The Electric Run before I do it ;)
2. Well job news is slim. I honestly applied to a few jobs on craigslist.com. Jobs that were sorta interesting, and I thought I could do. I got one call back. And its for a job in San Diego and it wasnt listed like that on the site. So sadly I cant do it with no car and shouldnt drive so far :( I had my interview with SubZero ice cream. I might try that place but I was afraid of them. It wasnt like I thought. It wasnt coldstone, baskin robins or dairy queen. So I was a bit relieved they didnt call me. I would have taken it had they I'm not stupid. Plus they wanted me to get my food handler license before I could work. Maybe thats why he didnt take me because I didnt have it. I think its kinda lame to expect me who has very little fast food or any food experience just have a food handlers card that cost me $25 when I am unsure if thats the kinda work I want to do! Oddly enough I would have one if I had done hickory and not daily treasures (life is really ironic like that). So there ya go. I have my unemployment interview on Tuesday by phone between 10am and 12pm. I need to get to bed early I will have to be up for 2hrs waiting for a small interview. IF I get it i will get $88 a week which is not bad I dont need a lot right now so I will take anything praying I get it please. Also found out this week that I can re-apply for LL but not till May due to two bad reviews. Call me crazy but I miss that place and want one more shot at them and last October was NOT what I would call another shot (in fact it was a failed attempt that recked me having a job there). Its harsh waiting that long to get a job back and having to start over but I thought I would never work for them again after last year....
3. Well the weather has been crazy this week. It started raining on Wednesday night already and it didnt really stop raining much of any till today. It was raining this morning too. It was supposed to continue till tomorrow so stopping early is a good thing. Poor sister lost 2 shifts at work cause of it ah I dont miss that about LL. Well nicer weather this week and better behave for next weekend!
4. I got my first W2 from LL this week. Sadly I know that my last job wont send theirs till the 31st but it will be online by the 1st so i will just use that I guess. I need to do it soon as possible especially if I hear I wont get UE I need some money coming in I am nearly out of money and need more soon into Feb. I hear you cant file now till the 30th so I am kinda glad I dont have mine. Lame I know its the whole fiscal thing with the government. I guess usually they open it up on Jan 22nd.
5. Well I almost got to meet the two main stars of Beautiful Creatures on Friday. They came to La Jolla mall for a signing. It was free. But due to the rain and not having our own car I bailed out last minute sad :( I stole a picture someone posted on fb but its not the same as seeing them in person and getting autographs. That is one of my first movies this year I REALLY want to see in theaters!!
Till next weekend, busier week sorta and the beginning of the new month...
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, January 20th 2013)
Just one more weekend left in January 2013!!! Wow...and I'm 11 months till my next birthday...
1. Went to church again last night. Its such an accomplishment. I better watch out I'm becoming addicting to going again so if it goes away I will be seriously sad. Hope to keep this up but unsure for how long we can keep going EVERY weekend!! Love you church you rock :)
2. Well I am not working. Its been a rather rought week. I found out that you can get fired for any reason they want in CA as an at will state. Then my unemployment I have tons of paperwork to mail in to prove I am me. My W2's wont be here till Feb. I hear taxes are worse this year coming out of checks (I will see this soon). I have an interview for UE on the 29th between 10 am & 12 pm. Inbetween I do have an interview (finally) for the new ice cream place opening up at the Carlsad mall I was just working out a few week ago called "Subzero". Its a new thing for me if I can get a job in food maybe it will make it easier for me in the future since i have no real food experience and most fast food places want that. Its at 6pm this coming Wednesday. The kiosk closed on the 17th as planned but I wasnt called in. I called my ex-job headway and they told me that its all hickory farms and not them that does it. My favorite was that she claimed its still being investigated, I am in the clear and if I want I can come back next season. For real?? A job claims I stole money from them, suspends me 3 weeks before I should get off and never calls me back and they think I would WANT to come back?? Anyways... I applied 3 x to LL and unsure why they wont give me a shot! I will be calling them this coming week to see what is up and why they keep doing this!!
3. Workouts have been okay. More walks then Zumba this week. I am failing badly. I tried to walk for 45 min the other night and ended up only going 30 min. If I walk the whole 5K in now less then 2 weeks I will be going for an hour of this. I am hoping if I am in shape i can power walk it faster. Maybe I should just powerwalk it and not try to run. I was gonna try to run yesterday but got late and never got a work out at all.
4. Didnt make the Flower Fields meeting yesterday. So we probably cant do the FF this year. My sisters car been having issues and now its dead maybe its better this way. We had some beautiful weather this week half way in we are back in the 70's during the day. Its still cold at night but nothing worse then before. So Spring just a few months off :)
5. I havent done good with my free time. I should be working on job books, looking for a job harder. But I do play with legos sadly waiting for a missing piece to come in the mail. Still hoping to volunteer for comic con soon as that opens. We had a race we were supposed to volunteer for this coming Saturday but probably not since my sister works. I am hoping to go to San Diego to meet the characters from Beautiful Creatures and get autographs. And our church is doing this free chess thing and unsure if we doing it but could be fun.
till next weekend last in January...

Weekend 5 (Sunday, January 13th 2013)
Boring week...
1. Of course I am not working yet. I have been looking but my time this week got zapped right and left. I need to get on it this coming week calling places & applying more often. I did apply for unemployment and I am HOPEFUL I will qualify. Even a little bit every week would be very helpful for me to use and put some away too till I can get a job. IF I was still working I would be closing the kiosk this coming Thursday. I was looking forward to finishing this job and it still saddens me what happened. I havent heard anything from anyone there. I talked to a co-worker the only one they kept because she wasnt there that day. She let me in all the details about whats changed, who's running the kiosk, etc. Details I dont care to share on here but these little clues really just help but confuse me all the more....
2. My works this week have been going well. I am hopeful by this coming Saturday I will be able to start running/walking again. I will keep up my every other day walks for 30 min including later today. I do Zumba's but will discontinue them again once I begin to train. But I am trying to find a way to keep doing them too we shall see. I will try both next weekend and see how it goes from there. Helps I'm not working just need to beat daylight hours so I dont freeze
3. The weather has been behaving oddly for us. We had some rain this past week but not that much. However we had winds I love wind its beautiful. But it was so windy on Thursday and Friday especially and its a bit breeze today. It was a cold storm that is now sweeping the country and hitting my fellow friends in TN with chances of tornados. NOT unheard of this time of year. Our first tornado scare came in Feb 2008 what a freaky night that was! We have had unusual cold weather too at night dipping below 30 in some places. Man if it rained we might just get some snow. I'm just wishful thinking :)
4. Saw The Hobbit again in 3D. We wanted to see Monsters Inc. I read the 3D wasnt worth it so was going to see it in 2D. But even though it only came out last month they got rid of 2D and now the 3D is gone too. So we did the hobbit. It was okay in 3D not the best I've seen. It was better then Tron in 3D but not as great as Avatar or Alice in Wonderland. My eyes kept getting sore I would take off the glasses but found the movie blurr when not in the glasses. Plus I was tired so I almost slept twice and I dont do that often but the glasses werent helping me at all. So yeah last movie for a while sadly even if I have some coming out in Feb hoping I can have money coming in again to see them
5. Been an odd end of good stuff for this week: we went to church last night our first time in months. It was wonderful! Cold as nothing but warm inside. Awesome message! I need to try to listen to last weeks online for sure. Also had lots of starbucks coffee this week. Finished off our giftcards last weekend but our friend gave us $10 each more so we had those plus I used some of my own money for the last one. I got to try nearly every holiday coffee but eggnog or pumpkin which I am cool with. Was a fun unexpected lots of holiday coffee this time around :) Also last night managed to find 5 movies at Walmart for $5 each. Btw I wanted way more if I had the money or a job with money coming in I would have gotten at least 3 or 4 more! I got: Date Night, Country Strong, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (my sister got me the first one now I just need the 3rd one!),The Other Guys & The Switch (GOOD film!!). So it was a good little week with some surprises along the way :)
Trying to keep busy not working. Working on my books, finishing our lego ship, watching movies and tv shows back on, looking for a job of course and trying to be hopeful as we speed to the second half of the first month of this year!!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, January 6th 2013)
Welcome to 2013. Been a rough start so far to my new year...how about you?
1. Today it has been raining. The first time this week. We have been having nice sunny days, sometimes cloudy. Always colder at night. I truly miss snow. I miss a reason for it being cold at night. But our weather has remained the same. I dont mind rain when I am inside its a nice change. I love listening to hear it pitter patter outside. I expect it to be gone by tomorrow.
2. I have actually begun to do workouts again real ones! Twice now I have done a Zumba for 20 min, followed by a 30 min walk. On Thurday I even did 2 Michael Jackson games. Really fun! I am trying to get in shape at least a little bit. We are now signed up for The Electric Run on Feb 2nd so I want to be able to at least walk that. We want to do the Hot Chocolate on in March if we both get enough tax money back. If I do that one it would be nice to run/walk it not just walk it. We shall see!
3. For my ipod of the futre I got a new case, some protectors for the cover and a few new stylus. I am waiting for most but the case finally came to me. Its great! Unsure when I will get it. I have now used up all my gift cards. Starbucks, McDonald's and Target. But I had fun doing so I love giftcards they are simply the best! Oh and used one of my two movie tickets we saw Les Miserables it was so excellent. Very sad but very good too :)
4. The new year is here and it was fun! Sorta at least. I didnt really do much on New Years Eve. I wasnt working or anything of course. So I relaxed, we had pizza hut it was good, then at midnight some sparkling apple cyder. Watched NYC count down. All good. Welcome to 2013! I have several new years resolutions it would be nice to keep them all year long but we shall see...
5. I have had no job things at all. I applied to a few jobs no replies. My former job is in silence. I got paid my last check on Saturday. I am writing to the company an actual letter as of tomorrow sending it out. I have no idea if this will do me any good. I am just so upset still. Losing 3 weeks worth of work and pay is just not right at all. I dont know why I still have no job. I look daily. I need to up where i look for work and not be lazy. Its so easy to get lazy but I have no time to waste with money slipping away from me fast. Hope for good job news soon! Anything better then nothing.
Till next weekend another boring one ahead...
