Welcome to the HALF way point of this month. Yup we are now exactly half way through September and I still don't have a job...sorry to complain but its both shocking and annoying for me. And makes me nervous. Okay moving on...
1. Its been 12 years since September 11th and the memory will always be fresh in my mind right there. How I got up for school and my mom told me as the bus driver had told her. How I thought that Washington was our Washington and not DC and I thought a plane was going to crash on us. I listened to the radio as we went into school. Spending US Government watching the news, seeing the towers come crashing down live on tv. Watching people on tv jump from the buildings hoping to live but not. After that continued there was chapel full of crying, worship and prayers. And the rest of the classes cancelled for the day. Going home with the news on, the radio on and just trying to not think too much. Crying a lot. Poems. Wanting to do more. Prayers. Ending with my mission trip the following May for 10 days seeing ground zero, talking to firemen who had lost their brothers, and still crying and praying. I will never forget. What I was doing or how it affected me.
2. I had my interview on Wednesday for Barnes & Noble in Temecula. It was a good interview. And yet its a small world after all I learned when the lady who interviewed me knows a manager I used to work with at my job in Main Place Mall! Too funny he's still with the company like 10 plus years since I last saw him...Was fun getting to know Temecula especially if I get to work there. Not fun was trying to find 2 different kind of 2 atm's all because unemployment decided to not pay people on time again so I was paid on Tuesday night not Monday and I needed my money so I had to only send through some of it the rest taking out of the atm for one bank dropping in the other. So it was a nice long night. I got some job apps I dropped off today at the mall. Had every intention of dropping but ran out of time, energy and stuff. Oh well.
3. I have done workouts this week. HURRAY! NOT today or course. And we lost out on another bike ride yesterday cause the pump my sister got wasn't working correctly. However Monday I did a Zumba and a walk. Then on Friday I did a wiifit and a walk. I was so proud this week doing this. I am going to try to keep up every other time doing wiifit so I wont just do Zumba's. Wiifit whipped my butt on Friday I swear but it was way fun. I always forget you can do a real workout on that thing too!
4. Hard to believe its been 2 years since we moved out here. Crazy stuff. Crazy we did it, and still are here too and haven't moved again. It just is all crazy. I am unsure if it will ever not be even when we move on. So we left late at night on the 12th and came into California on the 13th around 7 or 8am early enough maybe 9 I am unsure. Was a long 6 plus hours coming into California with two check points plus a scary storm in the mountains with lighting that made us call our dad to pray for us because it was freaky. I am glad we were okay but still wish we didn't have to move in the first place life would be so much more different if things had worked out for us to stay in AZ...
5. Went to Art in the Alley today in Redlands. Was interesting seeing all kinds of art. I used to be so into art in high school but never kept it up after. Props to those who do. Only art I do is writing poetry if you call that art. Before we went we visited mall in Temecula again to drop off apps. Between there and Redlands the heat was too much really made me miss Arizona and realize how I am too adapted to California's weather 2 years later.
Till next weekend!
