Last one of these both for December and gasp THE YEAR 2015!?!? Yes friends in just a few days we will say good bye to this year. It has not been the best on record. It was long harsh, and somewhat sad about half the time. I will be glad to say good bye and hope next year is better than this!
1. My birthday was on the 20th and I turned 36. I realized oddly enough that every year I turn an age the same year to follow is that number. Weird huh? This is true for every year even back when I turned 1 in 1980 because few days later was 1981. Stop laughing I have to find humor about being this age and where I am and not in life. If I had just one of my bigger goals on its way or accomplished maybe it wouldn't hurt so much. But single, zero kids, zero career and in school still with nowhere closer to my future career then the year before. I am hoping I am wrong and next year will be THE year for me. Boyfriend, job, moving out! Imaging the possibilities that could come makes me happy but still worried as planning and hoping isn't the same thing as happening. I don't want to be super hopeful that so much could happen that I will be disappointed if nothing does happen. Moving on. For my birthday my sister and mom surprised me with the one gift I didn't think would happen: going whale watching! Back in August I saw for just $40 a person you could go in Oceanside where we live. But my sister got this *Good* deal off groupon and took me to San Diego instead just me and her. First we began with my free breakfast at Dennys. But due to a bad car accident and the 5 freeway being closed we missed our boat by 5 minutes! I thought this was it. But we still stayed in the area right there for 3 hours we waited on their wait list in hopes we might still get to go on there. Killed time sitting on the other side of the harbor area by a pool listening to kids play. Hoping this was not for nothing. We checked back a bit early and found nothing yet. Was losing hope but went to the car for our coupon incase and the guy working there had been looking for us. We got on the second boat! Sure it was freaking cold, we got late doing dinner with parents later on, and only saw 3 whales but we still had fun. The boat ride was so choppy the waves so big you could fall over if you not careful. But we had so much fun still. Sure the last hour felt like forever and just wanted to be on land. We hadn't seen any whales (the morning boat only saw 2 so there you go). I wanted to see Dolphins too maybe next time. We will have to go again it was so fun. Met with my parents at Red Robin for dinner. Then went home and that was that.
2. Work this week due to me getting my birthday off I only worked on Monday and Saturday. Both small 4 hour shifts. Next week I work more than less the following. How it goes. I got off late on Monday was just glad I still made my sprinter and got back to the area in time. Was a bit nervous there. New job in the new year yes please!
3. This month marks 20 years since my horrible snow fall in the mountains. I was 15 going on 16 and bounced down a steep very steep snow hill while riding a saucer. My sister made it look fun she had used the sled and smiled at me "its fun Holly come on!" Sure I thought it was fun for 2 seconds. That was how long it took to knock myself out. I bounced on my head several times, my boots flew off, my dang stupid saucer flew towards a frozen river but didn't go over, my ear muffs came off, my hair a mess and my gloves came off but stayed attached due to the Velcro. When I woke up at the bottom I sat up I heard people around me gasp. They probably thought I was dead or paralyzed. I can only imagine the guardian angel(s) I have putting their hand on each time I bounced so I did not die or get really badly hurt. I did fracture my ribs it hurt something horrible. We bought a wrap for me and I wore it for a few weeks after till they okay. But it could have been SO much worse. Sure it scared me off the rest of the trip from even small snow hills. I joked mom should have videoed it but they had seen it happen and been in such shock they thought I died too they couldn't pull it out fast enough.
4. Christmas came and went. Managed to do our church for Christmas Eve. That was nice. Going to church was nice too. We need to put fourth a better effort to go in 2016 a goal I will not write down but we agree on. Christmas did not feel like it was Christmas. We didn't get our tree till few days before. It just felt odd. I cant explain it. Plus we still miss our grandma it has not been the same since we lost her almost 10 years ago. 10 years ago was our last Christmas with her. I miss her still so much! Top off with no Maggie and my cousins cat is going to die in the next month or so. So she did not come over because I think she is broke (no shock) and just married and all that. So we didn't see her at all. Felt so weird.
5. Rainbow got her 6 month check up on Tuesday. So far no test results came back bad so that is good. They checked her blood and her poop. Ew. Still has heart murmur and now her two front knees pop out which is bad she could break her legs easier I am guessing on that one because she jumps down sometimes fast from places like the bed and the couch. Her lungs are clear and her temperature a little high but not bad high. Her weight just under 12 pounds is good I was worried she losing weight. I was just glad I didn't have to pay for anything I am beyond out of extra money so I would have to use my emergency credit card if she needs it. I love her so much!! Life is short I hug her every day you just never know.
Well our weather has been on the rampage. While the middle and east coast got warmer temps we got frozen cold weather. Colder here then there. And bad storms too. We have rain nearly once a week. Just a sign of things to come when it gets worse in January with El Nino already beginning her big show! We need the rain no complaints but prefer it when I am home and not out in it. Have a great New Years Eve & Day everyone!! See you all in 2016. Happy new years. Have a good one. :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 20th 2015)
The year is coming to an end. We are nearly in Winter. And nearly the end of this year. Just 1 more of these for 2015. Crazy stuff! Life is crazy like that. But learning to roll with the punches the waves is some good advice I made up but have heard before. I never understood that so much till I was on a boat with lots of wave action...
1. School is done pretty much. I finished up my last homework on Thursday. As worried as I was about my grades I am now coming in at a A, 2 B's and 1 C! That is after my withdraw for English and thinking I was failing my cinema. I am proud I survived and grateful I did not fail this was my first semester I thought I was going to fail at least one of my classes. Was not easy but I got out okay. I only have 1 more for sure semester unsure if Spring will be my last but if it its I am going out with a bang.
2. Work this past week has been odd ball like. No closings. I worked on Sunday, Monday and again on Saturday. None were closing. I had two later mid's and an opening. Next week I have less hours due to my birthday off. And then odd thing is I never gave them new hours for out of school but they assumed so now I am working more than I normally do the last week of December into beginning of 2016.
3. Wednesday went and saw my cousin get married. Done up in a courthouse her first marriage and she is 3 years older than me. It felt odd. Cant share details she has said she wants nothing online yet so I cant share anything. I must say if you have to get married fast and cant afford a real one the courthouse isn't a bad place to do it. It felt like a wedding just an odd one. Back in Santa Ana was weird as well. I used to work here. I worked at Barnes & Noble for nearly 4 years just down the street from the courthouse and I had never been there till I went that day. Downtown Santa Ana isn't all fun and games its crazy like a mix of all the old towns in the area and a piece like a town form the south. You can tell downtown from different parts of towns no matter where you go.
4. Thursday me and my sister did our Boomers time by ourselves again. Only did 1 round of golf on 1 side and then the video games upstairs. Only had 1 hour to do it. So we did our best and had some fun. After we got free o's kitchen dessert for our birthdays and some snacks. On Wednesday I managed 3 free items: Which Wich, Panera Bread and Del Taco. I have a few left but have used most of my birthday freebies now. Its nice that food places do this its really great!
5. Saw Mocking Jay part 2 and was very impressed by it. Sure it was none stop action and more violence then others. Plus killing off several people including the beautiful Sam Claflin aka Finnick and of course Primarose. I knew both of them were going to die but still. Spoiler alert sorry that shouldn't be a spoil the movie is a month old but hey. We went same night at Star Wars so everyone was out there standing in line outside and inside and we walked right in for our movie. Haha funny timing not on purpose but still.
Weather has been crazy this week. Twice it rained different days. This is a sign of rain to come. I shall see how it turns out and if they are right about the rains being bad next year. For now we need all the rain we can get. But snow in the mountain is all good indeed. Have a great week everyone. And Merry Christmas. See you for the last one of these before the new year!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 13, 2015)
It is raining now. And as mother nature throws us a loop not planned (rain? really?) I look down the last week of being 35! I want to reflect on this and say this much: the last year has been the most not fun in forever. I end without a boyfriend, husband, kids, or career and that is not fun. I will deal better once we reach other side of this but till then may the odds ever be in my favor and we are in the final count down!
1. Weather this week yeah about that. We have had days of sun, days of cold, like really cold. We had ice on the car Saturday morning! And rain we had that too. Thursday my last day of school it was really just pouring down. I had to walk to the Sprinter and it was coming down in puddles some spots had like 3" of rain puddles. Glad I had my jacket, boots and umbrella but still. If this is a clue of things to come for next year El Nino we are in for a bumpy ride kids
2. School this week has been hectic to the max! I had 2 finals on Thursday I am unsure how I did on either. And I had 1 on Friday. I did not know till Monday I was having a final on Friday I thought it was going to be online the teacher said this. I was getting a D in that class I am now getting a C and unsure how I will do if I failed like I think I did on the final. But we are close kids very close. I have still for that class 1 paper, 2 discussion boards. For my ID class I have homework and the last test. So hopefully I can keep my grades at A for TV, B for ID class, C for Sociology and C for Cinema I can dream. But an F I will FLIP out over that no pun there. For fun we did a WRAP PARTY for wrap of Palomar Live at Boomers. Sadly only 6 others showed up out of our class of almost 20. I was sad to not been able to say good bye to so many. Maybe if we had just done it at school instead (or both) we could have had more come. I'm sad to only say good bye to some and I will see my teacher for sure. It was fun playing golf with 8 people (me included) that's the most I have EVER done. I have done it with 4 total and 2 (me included in both of those) but 8? Wow fun but still bummer little came!
3. Work this week not like last week. I worked Sunday (my sisters birthday more below) which I did not want to. But blacked out unlike last year I cannot get anything off. Which is lame. And that is all I will say. I worked Monday and then again on Saturday. While it sucked opening at 9am it was nice a change to not be closing on a Saturday! Mid or opening I will take anytime and any day over a closing. There you go.
4. My sister celebrated her 33rd birthday on Sunday the 6th. Because I worked (see above) we only could do dinner late at The Old Spaghetti Factory in San Marcos. It was a fun time. Of course my youngest sister Misty was freaking out for reasons we don't get the place had no fans but she is getting odder and odder as she gets older with things like this. She freaked out for my dads birthday too in September. So back to this. We sat in the trolley booth and it was so fun! Never been they are so good on food. Had a lovely time. How is my younger sister this age? How are any of this age? Where is time going? As you get older time flies whether you are married or not. I cant image how it is with kids of your own
5. Saturday we went and saw The Parade of Lights in the Oceanside Harbor and it was FUN but freezing. My parents usually go but this was the first time we went ourselves. Boats with lights and Christmas stuff. Met my moms friend Susan and her two pit bulls who are dressed up like reindeer so cute awe. Cold short time but fun for real.
Sadly we don't have a Christmas tree this year and I am unsure if we will :( Makes it feel less like Christmas then usually does. Top off with less money, a stressful year has been playing out and still here 4 years later just makes me want to say good bye to 2015 faster then ever! Goals for new year thinking ahead include: internship, school, new job (PLEASE!!!??) and a boyfriend. Hey I am dreaming big this time! 36 I am not getting younger. Go me! ;) See you all on the other side of 36. Good bye 35 just 6 days to go...

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 6th 2015)
Welcome to December! First of all Happy Birthday to my younger sister Melody! Big shout out! Sorry I cant spend the day with you as my job (grumble) would not give me it off even if I asked. Will spend time later with you promise.
1. Work this past week was more busy than I thought. I was only working 3 days it went to 4. I worked Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I also gained some hours working 3 hours more on Saturday. So hope that helps me with my money but this is still not enough I still need a new job asap. For real yo. By the new year would be great. Or a second job whatever works! But work is work not super busy but still.
2. School this week I am so sad it is over! We are at the end of our semester. This has been a long semester But had its fun. We did our last show of Palomar Live show 10 where I was assistant director. It was fun actually! I had fun doing that. Online classes are still going okay. How this will end your guess is as good as mine. I am trying hard to NOT fail my classes one mostly but still finals this week and next week, stuff due. Will be glad when we are done with this next week for sure. Relief!
3. Yesterday marked 14 years since my dog Cocoa died at the age of 13.5. She was old and a big dog but still it was sad when the dog I had since I was 8 left me. We buried her in the backyard. I used to talk to her she was a good friend. And I miss her sometimes. Years pass and you start to forget what they look like and how they were but I will never fully forget my first real pet!
4. I am still sick with this cold I got 6 weeks ago. I think it is a sinus infection NOT fun btw either way. I hope I am wrong and I cant even get to a doctor till next week so I hope it can hang on if its one till then and not bring too much pain. It is driving me crazy. I hate being sick like this. I cant even get a cold without it turning into worse. I blame age sigh.
5. SeaWorld we did that on Friday our last time (I think) this year. I love that place! 3 times and finally saw 2 shows. All Christmas like. Dolphins I love them still was so great. Shamu show was fun but the dolphin one was better if you ask me. Idk why I said that but I really liked it more. Helps them being my favorite animal as a kid and still love them tops. We got to see the sharks which was great, revisit some other parts. We did a lot in 3 hours which was shocking. Good time. Nice use of our passes.
That is all for now. I am off to work. No comment. Have a great week everyone! Will see you on the other side of next weekend. Till then take care!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday,November 29th 2015)
Our LAST one of these for the month of November! I am insane crazy insane that we are now a month away from end of the year of 2015. This year and a review I shall do one in December has been not the best year on record. Lots of crap. And not super lots of good. That is my year and review I shall write. Till then I am getting ready to finish my NaNo book my 8th year doing this! And I have begun to actually buy Christmas gifts. Well yeah go me! Not much this year gift wise due to being pretty darn broke. But grateful if I can get anyone anything at this point.
1. Weather has been frightful and weird. Rain here and there. No kidding. It rained before Thanksgiving when it might not of. On Thanksgiving night for like 2 hours it rained pretty steady. This was after last weekend where it rained some then too. Big mess of rain and we need it so no complaints. Its cold at night and remains cool most days. When the sun is it out it might feel hot. We had heat last weekend Saturday, Sunday and some of Monday. Then back to cool day and cold nights.
2. No school this week. While that was nice. I will be happy to finish this semester. Off school or not I still had homework I was doing half the time and a test. I am unsure how I did on that. As promised my link for show 9 of Palomar Live is here: https://vimeo.com/146675584 I just hope I pass all my classes. I'm not doing so hot to be honest. A D in one online, a C in 2 others. I am unsure about my 1 in person. I am signed up for 6 in the Spring. If I am keeping them all I don't know I could drop one online but really want to. But no $$ for books I hope I can get some help from the school. I sign up in 1 week for Miracosta unsure what I will get into but hope to at least do one or two with them as well. Shall see!
3. Workouts I managed 2 big walks. My biggest one was like 30min long on Wednesday. I was exhausted but it felt nice to actually work out. Due to my knees getting worse with arthritis I am thinking I should be riding the bike more often. So maybe I should try that. I wouldn't mind getting back to the wii games if nothing else but getting up energy to workout as well as have the energy to do other things is just not easy. Being in my 30's still more exhausting then my 20's forever more.
4. Work this past week. I worked TWICE. I worked on Sunday a nice short 4hr. Then I worked on Saturday a very long 8hr mid. I did not close so no complaints. But I didn't even work on Black Friday I have no clue why my job thinks I don't want to work on Fridays I never told them this but haven't worked a Friday since right around time I began to go to school. Sigh.
5. Thanksgiving was fun. Lots of food. My uncle came over. My parents went to a sale at Walmart got a dvd they wanted came back. Weird shopping black Friday on Thanksgiving. I miss my family that is no longer with us on holidays. I still miss them. Grandma Swank, Grandma Johnson. And family with other families, cousins mainly. Life is strange this age with no real family of my own and either losing family to death or marriage is just no fun. Well Black Friday I got my sales I wanted. I got some dvds I wanted yes! And from Petsmart for $23 I got my dog a new bed, PJ's so cute! and a toy.
Well that is all for this week. Next week is so busy. I am working a lot. I am back in school my last full week. Little time to sleep in. Busy busy. Student worker writer not enough sleep for all this. Good night all. Have a nice week. See you in December!

Life is strange this age with no real family of my own and either losing family to death or marriage is just no fun. Well Black Friday I got my sales I wanted. I got some dvds I wanted yes! And from Petsmart for $23 I got my dog a new bed, PJ's so cute! and a toy.
Well that is all for this week. Next week is so busy. I am working a lot. I am back in school my last full week. Little time to sleep in. Busy busy. Student worker writer not enough sleep for all this. Good night all. Have a nice week. See you in December!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 22nd 2015)
Welcome to the almost last of these of this month. November despite most of the year is flying by. Yes guys its almost the end of the year. The light is there the end of the tunnel. Incase your year is like mine kinda crappy and less good then you are in good company!
1. The 18th marked 9 years since we moved to Oceanside. Weirdness. I keep thinking its been longer but it hasn't. Our first move EVER. I know I moved when I was 1 years old but I don't recall this. I was in the SAME house for nearly my whole life. My 2 younger sisters neither had a life outside the house. Than we lost grandma :( And things changed. That was a horrible move btw. Our parents yeah about that. Things I wont just throw on this blog that lots of people read. But it was not a fun move for sure. I admit it now I own a lot of crap but I owned more back then that I don't own now. I am pretty good about being organized. Helps having all my stuff in storage and haven't seen like 80% of it in over 4 years now. But that move changed everything. The following November my sister and me departed for TN. Lived there 3 years. Then AZ for 1 year before we came back here. 4 years can change a person. I think maturity is overrated but I think that things can mature a person. I've known this since 1998 when my knee thing happened and I became forever handicapped in my knee. I was 19. Yeah about that...
2. Workouts this week include 2 walks. We lost our 10K race ended up not doing it yesterday. I am kind of sad. It would have been on Catalina Island our first 10K. We did the 15K in March that I only did 2miles of due to my sinus infection but my sister did it and I would give it a shot again next year if she wants to. The weather has been so odd. We had rain last Sunday. Today and yesterday 80's during the day what the heck. I swear today felt like freaking summer! I stepped outside it felt like July or June not November. I'm waiting for our mini heat spell again in December since the weather has gone wacky and we are supposed to get all this rain eventually too but maybe not till January.
3. School this week was okay. I found out I failed my midterm from last week and now I am getting a D in that class. Unsure how I did on my 2 papers so far. I have my first bigger of 2 papers due in a week. I do all the discussion boards. I don't get how I failed that test. I studied and saw all the movies needed. I don't get it. The next 1 better be online and I better not fail that or I will fail the class and there will go my GPA crash and burn. I registered last week for classes and added 1 more. I am now at 6 classes 18units. I am kind of sad this could be it my free money could be gone after Spring so getting all I can get out of Palomar. I register in December with MiraCosta but unsure if I will get into much there. I need $$ badly for books and I am so broke its scary. But back to school. TV was great. Tuesday we practiced for Thursday. I am still in shock. When did the 2nd show my little 2 minute spot I was so nervous that I shook like crazy and was so glad to be done. But this was longer I was the star and somehow I came out okay. Sadly I don't have a URL will try to post it next week since we off school this week nothing for my spot on here about it. The guy who puts it online when home early so HOPEFULLY it will be up tomorrow. I know I am a pretty girl but sometimes things like this really make me think about things. Like I should dress up more and wear more makeup little things. Maybe I could get a guy if I dressed more like a girl and not all comfortable tomboy like. But yeah HAD FUN! Last show is Dec 3rd I did segment producer and we will have 2 pugs on the show I am proud. I am doing Assistant Director the closest I will get to director of anything. I am sad sometimes I didn't do floor director at least. But its over and this is it...
4. Work last week is nothing to speak of. I asked for Saturday off and they gave me JUST last Sunday! NOT KIDDING! I can work Monday & Wednesday mornings and Fridays. They stopped giving me Fridays months ago NO idea why. I can work Fridays guys! So I worked just 4hrs. Reminds me I have to do my unemployment tonight. That runs out in January or February fun not really. I need a new job or a 2nd job as of months ago. Gotta look for one this week harder than I have been
5. I am now 1 month till my 36th birthday. I don't feel old btw. I know I don't look it. I don't feel old. I have gray hairs and some wrinkles. I am tired ALL the time and my body aches and cracks sometimes like rice crispys but frankly that is nothing. I might not be the same age of the majority of my classmates but I sure feel it. I look back and remember so much has happened. I am here at this age. Every year I hope for something magical to happen to push me closer to marriage or a career or both hey I would take both. Now I am just so unsure again. Will I ever be sure? I will always be the maturity of a teenager its possible I will never be anything more mature wise. But still.
Well deep sorry ha. Have a nice Thanksgiving. Somehow I escaped working on Black Friday. So maybe I will go shopping with my invisible I wish money. Just kidding. Be safe and see you all next weekend last of these in November!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 15th 2015)
We are exactly half way through the month of November! How crazy is that! And I'm speeding towards my 36th birthday. 1 month, 5 days let us sigh. Sigh I am getting older. Sigh I am not married yet. Sigh that I have no kids. Sigh I have no career. Sigh that I will be past my mid 30's now heading towards 40. Hurray for even numbers though right? ;)
1. Work has got me exhausted. My own fault but still. I worked Sunday, Monday and then again Yesterday. I am unsure if I can get time off for my sisters birthday, mine or the race in December as we are blacked out from asking for time off. Lame as that is. I am unsure if they did this last year. I got my sisters birthday and mine and no one said anything. Kinda unfair if you ask me if I don't get them off. Its not like I'm going on vacation or something... I don't work at all hardly next few weeks. I worked today than nothing rest of week. Week of Thanksgiving when I am free from school I am free from work. I am not even working on Black Friday! I work Sunday then Saturday weekend of Black Friday. Unsure past that. What gives job what gives? I need a new job. I am unsure if I will make it to end of year before I can get one but I want out now. Like yesterday. I need a none retail job but keep thinking how boring it could be. Unless its in my career field radio or tv then we can talk... Unemployment and my job aren't even supporting me enough anymore. I am unsure how I can do any shopping for Christmas this year. Last year I had less expenses and I worked more. I Do.Not.Get.It.
2. School has me on my toe. This past week was crazy. I did an online class for my ID class and did bad. I brought my current perfect A to a B in the class. Sigh. I did a midterm for cinema unsure how I did. I have a paper due tonight by 12am. Then another discussion board due tomorrow night after I watch something online. I am always doing homework. I try to take breaths but still it is a lot. For TV I am so sad we are ending soon it is almost done. Last week show 8 is online:https://vimeo.com/145569875 after we did practice for Show 9 aka my show. Yes I am hosting. Yes I can do this. I am hosting with Peter who has been on 3 other shows. I did a 2 minute stunt in the 2nd show. This is a real 30mint host thing. I am not as nervous as I thought I would be. I had 3 count them 3 smooth run thrus. I had several people tell me after that I read well. I don't stutter, I don't sound nervous. This isn't the first time I have been told that I read the teleprompter well. I did it well for my show on the 2nd one. It helps that I am not alone there as I was that day. I mean I wasn't alone I just meant it was just me. This time I have a partner. I have my outfit, I hope it works out, I have my make up and my plans for my hair. I am re-dying it tomorrow because my grays are coming in fast and its been 4 weeks exactly. I don't normally till week 6 but special occasion must do it. So please if you can watch me this Thursday, 9:30am PST http://www.palomar.com/pctv I would be honored!
3. Well the weather this week has been frightful. For real. Windy some days. We have a wind advisor tonight. On Monday it rained when I at work. I had to get a ride no fun. Today it rained. Windy too here and there. Cold at night. Then warm up in the day? For real. It is so odd. Not that warm but when its been cold than hot its like what is going on?
4. NaNoWriMo is going okay. If you are writing your novel you know my pain. I am in school I am working and I feel like I am dying. I am so tired. I've had this cold for 3 weeks. So writing my book is a pain. I love it but its a pain. A nice pain. Good luck if you are doing so.
5. Today marks 4 weeks since we lost sweet Maggie. I still miss her. It could be forever till I don't. I still have to remind myself she is not under the bed I keep telling myself she is still. Now Fresh & Easy is gone for good. I love that store! We fell in love with it back in AZ and than was excited it here too. Now its gone. Lame reasons. I don't understand. Sadness.
That is all for now. I am busy. SO much to do and zero energy. At least I have no work for a week. Not my choice but still its nice to know just school and relaxing and a break next week! See you next week have a nice one :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 8th 2015)
Welcome to the second one of these in November. Hope your week is going well! On time hurray and posted on time too. Goals. Cant promise this every time but will do my best.
1. Kinda hard that today marks 3 yrs since I began my job at Hickory Farms. Just to let you know I liked that job I had fun. The people I worked with were great I made a few friend. I knew the job wasn't forever but hoped it was something to get me to January 2012 where I would be closer to working LEGOLAND again. That was before I found out LEGOLAND did not want me to return which didn't happen till later in 2012. My job was going fine I was selling calendars but still same company, making okay hours, and learning new skills. I could open and close the kiosk by myself. My managers trusted me to do this so I was trusted with the money. I guess that could be my doom working the day someone stole $300 from our register a co-worker after I came in more than likely or someone that came as I getting off. I did not steal the money. I told unemployment that and I told HF that on the phone. I do not steal. Still 3 weeks early I was let go from my job. I collected UE for a full year in 2012 but still. 3 years ago I thought my dream had began and sadly it hadn't. Glad I don't know these things before they happen would make life much harder to live!
2. School this week has been interesting. I am doing okay in my ID class I still feel like its more of a psychology class not what it is. But the teacher is nice enough. Sociology homework was so little it shocked me. But that was nice. Cinema is introducing me to some movies I never would have seen probably. Hope I am doing okay. I do the Discussion Boards, the papers 1 so far next 1 due in a week. TV is getting interesting. I am now doing one more segment producer for the Dec 3rd or 10th last show. And I am now hosting the show on the 19th. I am nervous and excited all at once for this chance. I should have tried out our second day of class but got nervous and unsure of who I am and how I *LOOK* on tv. Okay I got issues. I know the facts. But you know what. 30 min is nothing I can do this. I already have my dress I will get a sweater today unsure of the shoes. I will have fun. I will do this. Hey if you want to watch show 7 I am on camera and stay for the credits I waved like 3 times they kept aiming on me with the jib check the link out: https://vimeo.com/144809782
3. It rained this week no kidding! We had actual rain. It rained the evening of Monday and then it rained over night Monday and into Tuesday. It seemed all gloomy all day long on Tuesday and rain was gone I believe that evening. But wow real rain. Was causing some flooding so that was scary! But glad we need it. Just sorry I thought it was gonna before I got off on Monday freaked me out seeing those clouds glad it held back
4. Work this week I worked a bit more. I worked an almost full day on Sunday glad to not close. But it gets dark early so I still came home on the sprinter in the dark. Monday I worked morning in guest service. It was Monday yeah enough said. I worked last night a long closing. I hate 8hr shifts when its closing the day seems very long and very stressful. Thankful it was slower the last few hours and we didn't get off early but on time for when we scheduled so there you go. New shirts today should be interesting never had to wear a company shirt before but they changing the rules!
5. Today isn't just 3 yrs since Hickory Farms. It marks 4 years since we moved into this very house. I don't know what it is about the 8th. 4 years I cant believe its been and I cant believe we are still here. I don't mean the whole family I mean me and my sister. And 8 years ago we moved into our apartment in TN. I miss that state I miss my life and city. I don't miss the bugs or the crazy apartment manager. But so much good outweighs so much bad there. We could have been there forever. But we chose and felt we were supposed to move back. Nothing held us there but a few friends and memories. We left with no jobs, having a mall we loved gone but coming back eventually. Neither of us found husbands or anything else to hold us there for good. If that had happened it could be different... Havent seen TN in 5 yrs and a few months. If we ever visit I am unsure if I would want to come home cause it will always be my second home.
Hard to believe been 3 weeks since we loved our beloved Maggie. I miss her so much still! A hole in my heart for sure! Year is wrapping up. Been doing NaNo and I am doing okay still unsure where my story will take me. Its an adventure for sure I try to just ride it for fun. Unsure if this a book or just a fun book. I need to stop being lazy and work on editing my books I think would be good like asap. Ha ha. Till next weekend see you all then. Have a nice week!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 1st 2015)
Welcome to November. Just think as I write this you are just 25 days from TURKEY TURKEY TURKEY DADY!!!! Bring it on baby. No don't. Although the break will make me be singing no school for a full week hurray! Moving on...
1. Our race The Awesome 80's Run was not so awesome. Not because we didn't have fun we did once we got there. But we got so late and we hadn't even picked up our packets yet. We have NEVER been that late to a race. It began and I mean BEGAN at 7:15am and we arrived at like 7:30am. We ended up walking just about half the way of the race (3.1miles) and turning around. I'm guessing we "walked" about 1.5miles total since we did about half total and it counted both ways. We still got our shirts, medals, free food and got to see in a time machine and hold a hover board. The theme was Back to the Future and boy it was just fun to be there! It was awesome! Once we got there it was awesome!
2. Did Sea World for the 2nd time this year. And still haven't seen a show. Didn't notice till this time they stopped doing the Shamu show much at all. Sadness. I wanted to see the dolphin one but we ended up seeing no shows. I did get some free candy for Halloween cause they don't care if adults get candy as well as the kids. I didn't get that much just a few pieces. We saw the killer whales some of them it was really fun. Man they are big in person. Such beautiful creatures. Saw lots of the aquarium stuff we didn't see last time. We doubled over and saw the penguins again and also made it over to see the beluga whale. The polar bears were not around probably nesting because they are going to have babies. But all in all it was a fun time even if done after the race and we were both exhausted. Much more crowded this time then last. Wanted to ride the sting ray ride but found out I don't exactly fit in the seat all the way. They have a test seat outside the ride its a good idea. I mean I could almost fit but dang my tummy just a bit too much. Sigh. I am sad about this I wanted to ride it eventually guess its for the best :(
3. School this week. I got my test back from TV I am enjoying I got a perfect 25 out of 25! I am unsure how I will do on the last test and the final (if there is one more test unsure). On Thursday our show went okay. Except I wasn't given any of my get ready to dvr instructions so I had to pay attention to when commercials or packages were shown. Next week doing camera for show 7. If you want to view the show follow this link copy & paste it: https://vimeo.com/144058759 For sociology I did my second test and got a C. I am glad with that. I got a D on my first test. I am joking I should get a B for my next one. I am doing okay on homework for other classes. But I need to dedicate more time to them and I am just doing so much last minute stuff. 5 weeks to go!
4. Work this week. I ONLY worked on Saturday for real yo. On Halloween there I worked. It was really slow my last 2 hours. I did a mid and glad I didn't close as I am back to closing again on Saturdays as of this week. I am working more this week but not much more. Really sucks. UE continues to come through for me but I really need a new job or a second job something because this isn't going to cut it forever its barely not even really cutting it now.
5. Halloween how was yours? Since I worked I didn't do much. It didn't feel like Halloween. We got no big pumpkin like we usually do. My sister got a tiny one we drew a face on and put on the mantel but that was it. Our rubber one disappear sadly. I didn't even put up our lego stuff. What is wrong with me?? My mom gave out candy and I got a small bag of cheap candy today but not much. I haven't been eating candy much this year sadly so really I have loads of left overs from all year long and no point in getting any even if I could afford it.
That is all for now. Long week ahead of me. I work and then school and such. Been so hot still during the day so confusing. I go under my covers at night and wake up really hot. Its like Spring on overload this is not FALL weather. We lost an hour daylight but gained an hour of sleep today. I felt that time change before bed even but unsure if the extra hour sleep helped me or not. Whatever. Have a nice week see you next weekend. I'm off to begin my National Novel Writing Month book. Busy busy.
1. Our race The Awesome 80's Run was not so awesome. Not because we didn't have fun we did once we got there. But we got so late and we hadn't even picked up our packets yet. We have NEVER been that late to a race. It began and I mean BEGAN at 7:15am and we arrived at like 7:30am. We ended up walking just about half the way of the race (3.1miles) and turning around. I'm guessing we "walked" about 1.5miles total since we did about half total and it counted both ways. We still got our shirts, medals, free food and got to see in a time machine and hold a hover board. The theme was Back to the Future and boy it was just fun to be there! It was awesome! Once we got there it was awesome!
2. Did Sea World for the 2nd time this year. And still haven't seen a show. Didn't notice till this time they stopped doing the Shamu show much at all. Sadness. I wanted to see the dolphin one but we ended up seeing no shows. I did get some free candy for Halloween cause they don't care if adults get candy as well as the kids. I didn't get that much just a few pieces. We saw the killer whales some of them it was really fun. Man they are big in person. Such beautiful creatures. Saw lots of the aquarium stuff we didn't see last time. We doubled over and saw the penguins again and also made it over to see the beluga whale. The polar bears were not around probably nesting because they are going to have babies. But all in all it was a fun time even if done after the race and we were both exhausted. Much more crowded this time then last. Wanted to ride the sting ray ride but found out I don't exactly fit in the seat all the way. They have a test seat outside the ride its a good idea. I mean I could almost fit but dang my tummy just a bit too much. Sigh. I am sad about this I wanted to ride it eventually guess its for the best :(

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 25th 2015)
Writing this early posting it on time main goal for today! Last one of these for the month hard to believe we are nearing the end of October. This year this month everything seems long drawn out and no fun. I don't like this year to be honest I really don't.
1. I miss Maggie. I miss her in the room and I miss everything we had with her. I mostly miss how quick she went and how unexpected. Our last pets we lost I knew it was coming eventually. Patches my sisters first cat was sickly. Princess was old and skinny and had issues. Even Cocoa my first dog had a tumor on her head and was old. We expected to lose these pets. Maggie was a big cat she weighed 14 pounds, she ate food and drank water and went to the bathroom fine. She wanted attention but hid so much it was hard to tell what was not right till that Wednesday night. Losing her like this barely 11 our youngest pet so far just hurts. I am still in denial and try to forget she is gone. Its easy if I just think of her as being there even when she is not. Life is unfair and Maggie we miss you still a week later! And forever in our hearts :(
2. Work this week barely happened. Next week even better. Not really. Unemployment continues to support me but at this point they are not helping because work is not helping me out. I am not complaining I need UE to get by but I need a better paying more hours job. Not one that gives little and takes much. I worked on Sunday and it was horrible working and then finding out before I off my 4hour shift the cat was gone. I was crying while straightening and so glad to be free. I went back on Wednesday and it was an okay shift was long and slow. I worked on Saturday got an extra few hours added to it. Glad to not close I do not like closings.
3. Workouts not really. I wanted 2 or 3. I got one walk in that was it. We have our race today more about that next week. I had fun getting out. I need to begin to work out at home again more and I hope to do so. But the race will be great. One more next month unsure if we can do one in December we shall see.
4. School this week. I had my test in TV again odd one. We had to draw much and do little else. I was confused why I tried to study and lost sleep trying and did not have anything like that on there. I shall see how I do. Our show on Thur 5 was great. You can see it online anytime at: https://vimeo.com/143325272 Half way there just 5 more to go! I did DVR boy that was fun. I get to do it again next week. Online classes next Sociology test doing tomorrow (Monday) getting into my new 2 as well. Register on Nov 12th for my Spring semester.
5. Parents have been gone all week with my youngest sister. What an odd week it has been. They left Sunday and came back Saturday night late. It was nice and quiet but not so nice either. Tough on the pets and us we lost our cat and had no one here. I know they are having fun. As much as it is nice to be alone having them around is important and I am glad they are back. It has not been easy!
That is all for now. Hope you guys have a nice week! We will have fun on the race. Halloween is next weekend. I don't work much. But that is how it goes. See you all in November. See you then!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 18th 2015)
Writing this one day late as yesterday was not a fun day at all. I will be writing more about it. I hope everyone is having a great month. I cant believe how close we are to Halloween and we don't have anything up yet. I am going to try to get a pumpkin this week and pull out our stuff. But its not much. If I wanted to decorate for this holiday it is harsh as my parents don't like the holiday and we do. Maybe we can decorate it or not. I cant be here to give out candy and am unsure if I can get myself any cheap candy after the fact (or if I want to). Yup doesn't feel like Halloween.
1. Workouts this week I managed to do three days of power walking and bike. Not bad for me! I am trying to train for our race this next Sunday and especially for the race in November we hope to do but harsh to do as getting money at this point is no fun. I was going to actually begin to run again soon but tonight didn't work out. Might do it tomorrow night and Thursday instead. Trying for twice this week of something more than just walking but even walking is better than nothing at all.
2. Work this week I barely worked so its hardly of note. I worked on Sunday an odd 4.5hr shift where I got off 30min before the store closed. But I didn't close and I could not stay. Then I worked on Saturday a mean closing. By mean I mean it was harsh cause we short handed, I stuck in service and only got 1 lunch not a break and a lunch. I am pretty sure I should have had a break and a lunch even for a 5.5hr shift. Unemployment continues to support me small like but I take all I can get even the $13 I got for my last set of weeks. This next one will be more because I am hardly working at all this week or last week. I can tell you that much. But UE isn't forever and I NEED a real job. Like yesterday. Hours suck at mine and they keep hiring more people and then giving little hours to those of us there already.
3. The weather has been so odd this week. Lots of heat and very little cooler. Then as the weekend approached we got cooler temps which is so nice. Finally. But heat during the week no fun. On Thursday we got some rain but that didn't cool it down and it wasn't much. Instead it was gloomy, some rain and hot. I was like what. Plus it didn't even rain in Oceanside where we live just in Vista/San Marcos when I at school. I came back to OS and it was like sunny? For real?
4. School is going okay. I have a test this week which I am not looking forward to. Last week in TV class I was on camera on Thursday so Tuesday we go to practice for that. In that room is different then the tv studio. I am doing DVR this week hope I don't mess up. After this week just 5 more to go. Almost to the half way point. Week 9 and wow where does the time go. Online classes I began to watch movies for my one class. And trying to keep up with homework.
5. I write this one last. We have lost my sisters cat and it happened so fast that I have not processed yet that it happened. On Wed night she was acting odd and we were worried. Right before I about to go to bed early for my getting up Thur so I lost sleep that night worrying about her. Thursday we got bad so my sister took her to the vet on Friday. Saturday she took her to the emergency vet. And on Sunday she had her put down. Lots of underlying issues I will never understand. What she hid from us till the end. She was barely 11yrs old. I miss her a lot. I keep trying to pretend she is still with us. I spent all year since April worrying we would lose Rainbow my dog and in the end we lost our oldest cat instead. Now we hug our two cats and dog tighter, try to be more to what is going on with them and pray we don't lose them at a young age. She should have hit 16 she was supposed to not die till after she calmed down at 16... love you and miss you Maggie forever.
Well that's all for my week. Parents gone on vacation this week. And we have our race next Sunday. I work a bit more but still there you go. Have a nice week everyone stay cool. Glad finally cooling down here hope it sticks!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 11th 2015)
Welcome. Posting this on time is my goal so I am putting it up 1 day early so I can post it on Sunday! It feels currently like August not October our new heat wave is blah no fun! I want Fall not Summer!
1. School this week flew by. Hard to believe we are half way through the semester. Class on Tuesday we practiced for our show. On Thursday we did the show. And it was INSANE! Last minute I was put on doing mics for guest and due to having only 2 spare mics and each set of guests (3 total) were 2 people we were literally pulling mics off to the next guest fast as possible barely enough time to get them on the set in time. Next week I do camera! Yes I volunteered. I don't mind just hope my arms can hold out for it. We did 2 practice runs and I am doing fine. Steady. Sure I am not breathing much... I am more nervous about doing VTR which I had NO idea till Thursday doesn't just hit "record" but actually puts the commercials on and the song and such. They put the stuff on we see that is not part of the actual show (which is scenes and credits). This will be a one time thing and hope I don't screw it up. Gulp. Next week begin 2 more online classes and 1 more the following week. Pretty soon will be doing 4 online and 1 in person. My sociology current online is doing okay. I got 15 out of 20 for extra credit which helps I hope. My next exam in 2 weeks not looking forward to that at all. But at least I know what to expect.
Don't forget to watch our show if you can! Our show 3 is now online here is the link: https://vimeo.com/141848388
2. Workouts I did 1 walk this week. Today SHOULD have been our 80's Race. We signed up a week ago and found out it was moved till the 25th not the 10th. So I lost a day of work for no reason at all. Not fun thanks! I did 1 walk this week. I hope next week when I am both not working and not in school those days to do 2 to 3 workout days. Heres to planning! We are trying to do another race in November and maybe one in December. I don't think we have ever done (not volunteered) so many races in ONE year. This 80's is the 3rd there will be 4 next month and a total of 5 if we do one in December. The weather today is just gross. Yesterday too. Some stupid hot front is over us and Texas, New Mexico and Arizona making us all suffer greatly. Amazing is how last weekend it was raining and a bit cooler. It didn't rain super much on Sunday. But Monday it rained half the night before and then part of that day. It was gone by Tuesday. Now this heat since Thursday started getting warmer. It will be warm all week not super hot but warm till Thursday then drop back to 70's. I just want fall weather guess that asking too much.
3. I worked three times this week. I worked on Sunday an odd ball 4.5 shift. Then I worked my usual 4hr shifts on Monday & Wednesday. Next week is BAD hours. I literally work today (Sun) then not again till Sat. What gives? From 20hrs to like 8 isn't great at all poo! I do unemployment again tomorrow I am HOPING to get like $13 for this last week but unsure. I know I wont be getting anything for the week I got 20.5 hrs which I was not expecting. But I need all I can get.
4. Worried about my Rainbow still. I did not take her to the vet on Monday. And then I have not taken her yet. I was going to maybe try on the 16th but decided to just watch her. She has her good and bad days. I just wish this heat would go away. She never has a chance to recover before back to heat which makes her breath heavier while sleeping and cough more. I still think its something like allergies or kennel cough and not her heart. I love her so much please keep her in prayers!
5. Took a drive today by the beach. That was fun! I really wanted to get out and put my feet in the ocean but we never stopped. Still got out. It was mostly cause of the heat. It was 91 inside today the hottest in a while. Yesterday it only hit 88. Yet at night it drops. But the beach was crowded so that was nice change. Took my little Rainbow. Had some fun either way. Took some pictures.
Well that is all for now. I am getting my NaNo book in order. I will be doing another new story in Nov. If you don't know about NaNoWriMo check out: http://www.nanowrimo.org you have 30 days to write 50,000 words a novel. You can write more but that's the goal you need to reach. Its fun and I have written 7 books so far a few I think are winners and if I could just edit them as hard as it is and such I could try to publish them. The book is called "Don't Blink Twice" and if you go on there follow me: monkeywritergirl . Till next weekend stay cool. Hope it is cooler where you are then it is where we are for real! Have a nice week!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 4th 2015)
Welcome to October. Say what? There are 4 of these for this month. And crazy as that sounds we are getting closer and closer to the end of the year. It was raining today and then it wasn't. If you want to know why Cali is in a drought watch the 80% drop to 60% to 50% and it still not rain that whole time! I remember it being 10% in TN and actually freaking storming things are so different here then there...
1. School this week was busy and crazy and gone too fast. My script was changed so many times the final script I used on Thursday was only 1 part mine. I wrote part of another but it was re-written. Then 2 other parts were written for me. But I had fun. It was nerve racking. But glad that I got through it, I was ON TV and yes I was https://vimeo.com/141205237 That link should take you to the video its 30min and I am on about 8min in. I might do it again so don't think this is the last you have seen me on tv haha
2. Work this week has been more busy! I worked 4 days Sunday, Monday, Wednesday & Saturday. Sadly this week down to just 3 days. Our race got moved to the 25th so I have no work this week on Saturday. Unemployment was kind enough to give me money for both my weeks which shocked me when I hit 11hrs I thought for sure that meant NOT ue that week but they gave me $13 and I needed it. I was still short on my check but making do best I can.
3. Grandma Swanks birthday was the 29th. Per norm we took some balloons and let them go to heaven to her. It has been 10 years since we last celebrated a real birthday with her. I miss her so much. We sent her 4 balloons and we let them go from the park by our house. I even brought Rainbow I never bring her but I did this time. Love you grandma Happy 103rd Birthday.
4. Rainbow gave me a fright on Friday. She had a bad coughing fit that did not seem to end and then came back again. Then she stopped. And nothing since like that. I made an appointment for this week I am going to reschedule as I don't feel comfortable making her stay down there for 6 plus hours while I am at work. If something comes up before our regular vet comes back on the 16th. I love my baby girl and ask for continued prayers.
5. My poor left shoulder. I have spent all week dealing with pain. At night losing sleep during the day suffering. I finally bought a wrap and I use it at night and it helps. But during the day it could hurt again badly. It was so bad that on Wednesday my 4hrs at work felt like 400. It was pain from bed time till bed time. The wrap helped and I can sleep which is good. But I wish I knew what I did to it. If it was work or it was me or both. Sigh.
Well that's all for now. Entering a new week. Hope you all have a good one. See you next weekend!!
1. School this week was busy and crazy and gone too fast. My script was changed so many times the final script I used on Thursday was only 1 part mine. I wrote part of another but it was re-written. Then 2 other parts were written for me. But I had fun. It was nerve racking. But glad that I got through it, I was ON TV and yes I was https://vimeo.com/141205237 That link should take you to the video its 30min and I am on about 8min in. I might do it again so don't think this is the last you have seen me on tv haha
2. Work this week has been more busy! I worked 4 days Sunday, Monday, Wednesday & Saturday. Sadly this week down to just 3 days. Our race got moved to the 25th so I have no work this week on Saturday. Unemployment was kind enough to give me money for both my weeks which shocked me when I hit 11hrs I thought for sure that meant NOT ue that week but they gave me $13 and I needed it. I was still short on my check but making do best I can.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 27th 2015)
Last one of these for September. Time really flies! Watched the red blood moon haven't had one of those since 1982 and since I was like not even 3 I don't recall the last one... hope you got to see it! I didn't get a good picture but I did see it right when it happening and I didn't even know it at the time...
1. My dog Rainbow has been on my mind this week. The heat is making her cough so much. I just keep seeing pictures of her and thinking about a year ago at this time life was normal. And now she is like this. I know shes not sick yet like that but shes not well. I give her meds, I pray for her to be with me for a couple more years. But life is so short with animals. Then again not even people get a promise of 80 plus years. Parents lose their kids when they are babies and toddlers to things like cancer or other horrible things. So we are not promised anything but this moment in time. I am grateful for every day I have my baby. Every day I wake up and she is still there. Every night before bed. I give her love and appreciate her in so many ways because life is short no matter what or who you are...
2. School has taken an odd ball turn. I dropped my English class on Monday. I went through the first hour of class and I just snapped. I was over it. Over figuring out what is a noun and verb. Taking apart every sentence I see and read to make sure its okay or not. I get it. I am bad at grammar stuff I learned in grammar school probably. And its not for me anymore. Yes I took a W and wasted $50 for books. I did okay on the first test. But we would have another test TOMORROW and frankly I am just over it. So now I am down to again just 1 in person. 1 online. I have two more online in just 2 weeks. And 1 with MCC. What I have left is keeping me busy but still its how this year is going. Did our first show for my tv class. And next week well this week I will be ON tv. Please watch me live at 9:30am PST http://www.palomar.edu/pctv I did teleprompter this week and I was so nervous. But our guest came and we all had fun. Being there for 5hrs was exhausting but hey I survived. Just 9 more to go haha
3. Fall is here and don't tell our weather that. Still 80's all week long. We are heading towards October and still suffering like Summer. I am over sweating all the time. So welcome to Fall and good bye to Summer. And please say the weather will feel like it too very soon
4. Work this week not so much. I worked on Saturday and on Sunday. Only 11hrs. Still not enough but too many for unemployment. Unemployment speaking of I do another report tonight. I should get another $38 fast. I don't mind mid's and even long days suck but closing long sucks which I had yesterday worked nearly 8hrs and closed. Next week I am working no joke 20hrs. Well this week but still. Yeah there you go.
5. We have had Jackie & Rocky for 7 years now. Crazy. 7 years since our neighbor Sandy abandoned on our doorstep and never looked back. I am glad we got them and kept them. But we did not know then what I know now how much we would need those crazy kids.
Well so long for now. And see you all in October. Promises to be a long and busy month for sure. Be sure to watch the show thanks so much. See you all soon!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 20th 2015)
I am just 3 months till my next birthday. Let you know I am failing badly this year and hoping something wonderful will happen in the next 3 months but I am losing hope. What can I do yeah.
1. School is going okay. I mean its fun and all. Just exhausting at times. But I am learning a lot and I am going to be on TV yes real TV in just a little over a week. More details next weekend! English is going okay still debating if I a keeping this class. 1 more test and we shall see. I passed my test of last week so that was a shocker. 18 of the 26 in class failed and I passed. Just 3 weeks till we start up fast track. So I will be doing 3 more online. Crazy stuff man.
2. Work is going okay. But I am not really working. Just twice a week. Yuck. Plus Unemployment is paying me and I wont complain I actually need the extra I get but only if I don't make what they promised on my own. So if I make over $90 I get nothing. If I work and make less than I get less than $90. The most I have gotten is $42 and the least is $38. Tough cookie. I need a better job a full time job asap. Trying to slowly make steps towards that with school and ue things.
3. Weather has been crazy this week. We have heat spells right and left. As I type its nearly 90 inside and it was hotter earlier. It will be hot all this week too. Last week heat and then on Tuesday we had some rain. Enough to flood stuff badly. My poor sister don't ask it involved a slip. I got wet but made it out okay. But then when the sun came out and it got all hot again it was like what state am I in? More rain this week shall see but they are saying it might...
4. Workouts not really. Just less than 3 weeks till our next race. I cant wait to do that. I hope I am okay in shape. But its only a 5K. That's less than our last race of 4 miles. We are trying to do a 10K in November which is like 6 miles. Since I didn't really do the 15K like I wanted it will be my best race of the year if we do it. Just need the $$ to do so.
5. Misty my youngest sister celebrated 29. Her final age. She is now forever like all of us 29 years old. Although mentally she is only 2. We had some fun. After school we met up at home with our parents who had gone to San Diego earlier. We went and got dinner out, ate by the Harbor and then got ice cream. It was only a few hours but we still had fun. Happy birthday little sister.
Well that's all for now. One more of these in September then we done again. Crazy stuff. Have a great week everyone. Stay cooler then I will be!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 13th 2015)
This week was so full of stuff I think I might call it the weekend 100. Let's stick with The Weekend 6. And some change! There you go. And moving on...
If you didn't notice last weekend quickly before I put it out this page said it was the 13th. I got SO confused when I was posting my blog I thought it was the 13th not the 6th. Yup it has been that kind of month so far!
1. It has been VERY HOT this week. Most days going towards 100. Inside hitting mid 90's. It made it impossible to get sleep both at night or during the day if I was lucky enough to be able to sleep in. Really no fun in general. I love Summer but I hate the heat. Yes I lived in AZ for a year but the heat you just got used to it. This not so much. And more fun was on Wednesday. My sister had her visit on Wednesday. It was not fun on our part cleaning like mad and just ending up with most of the stuff we have out in our living room on our beds. I was so glad it was over and I was more glad that I had the stuff put back. Cleaning and putting it back in the middle of our freaking heat spell was not my idea of a good time. I didn't really work out last week I took maybe 2 walks neither of which were much more than walks to cool off and then get hot again once back inside!
2. Work this week I worked 3 days. Shocking was that. 3 days but under 20 hours. So sad I want to cry. I am barely getting unemployment help either. Forget $90 per week. Its only $90 per week if I DONT work my job at all! I am not about to lie for extra $$. If I make under $90 before taxes at work I get paid about half of what should. I got $42 already. I am about to submit my thing for past 2 weeks and need and better get as close to another $42 as possible I am counting on it. Hours are horrible and I really think its unfair that both my job and ue are punishing me. Just another sign I need a better paying more full time job ASAP. Being a student while working is harsh. Being a student while not really working and trying to depend on the government to fill the gaps in my $$ is way harsher. You have no idea. TN we got partial ue this is not that this is Cali version which is truly just crap and that is just what it is. I had my in person interview on Thur I had to reschedule it from morning to afternoon barely making it on time after I got out of class flew on the sprinter and walked across the street coming in 10 mint before I was due to begin. WAY different then 2013 they have changed their rules this all began beginning of this year. I never dreamt I would be dealing with UE again so soon. Like never is better then ever thanks.
3. My dad's birthday was on Monday. This year I worked and my sister did not. I think last year she worked and I didn't but only cause they had screwed up my schedule thinking I wanted to only work early mornings for like 4 or 5 hrs. Anyways. I worked 4hrs. Then my parents got me. We hit up Ruby's at the CB outlet and had fun sorta. Then on to Boomers haven't been since 2012! Played a round of golf and my sister did the batting cage. Interesting and fun.
4. It has been 4 years since we were forced to move from our apartment in AZ to our house in CA. We came back to California on the 13th of Sept to the date today! I cant believe its been that long nor that we are still here. Except tech we have not been at this house 4 years yet. Otherwise yeah 4 years wow!
5. Every year after my dads birthday I recall losing our cat Patches. It was my sisters cat and my cats sister. She meant the world to us. She left us on the 8th of Sept 2004. We got Maggie a few weeks later to keep my cat company. While my cat stayed with us until Jan 2010 she always missed her sister. I think she put up with Maggie eventually along with Rainbow and even Rocky (not Jackie NO ONE liked(s) her of the cats!) just cause she missed her sister. The whole thing was a tragedy. Whatever took her from us in the end was just the tip of the iceberg. She was the stronger of the 2. Princess depending deeply on her. Our current 2 cats Jackie is the independent one and Rocky depends on Jackie. When in pairs. Miss you pretty Patches see you again someday!
6. Sept 11th came up and we recall 14 years gone. I will never forget that day. Instead of talking about how it affected me the past few years I just remembered it with other things. I put up a few pictures I found online. My favorite part of the day since I had to work and was out and about after work was that our bus system all the buses I saw had flashing where they were going after or before "9/11 We Will Never Forget". Beautiful. I will never forget it. I will recall everything that happened that day and how it affected me doing my mission trip the following year. And seeing ground zero up close. I will never be able to explain how I missed two buildings I never saw in person and how I mourned for so many people I had never met. We came together that day. It was a sad fact that someone pointed out on fb how today we are so different then back then. So divided. Our nation is far from being together anymore. Yes we recall but we have forgotten as well so much has changed in 14 years and its not for the good at all. Dear country that I love!
Okay I got very little sleep last night and I felt super crappy today. I got some h/w to do and then try to get more sleep then I have been. HOPING we really start cooling down soon. Slower week this one. But all the more reason to keep going. And never give up! Till next weekend just 2 more of these in September! Have a great week!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 6th 2015)
This my 2nd weekend in a row that I am doing this ON Sunday! I wont be next weekend but hey few times isn't bad... when work doesn't give me hours what can I do? Welcome to the 1st one of these in September falling on Labor Day Weekend. The "unofficial end to Summer" is tomorrow. You'd think our weather would think otherwise but it isn't...
1. So the weather is misbehaving again. When we first began this season before Summer it was like this. Cooler at night and hotter during the day. Few days ago I thought we was finally FINALLY seeing it become cooler all together. It was around 80* inside all day long. Then today came. Cooler last night when I went to bed 78* first time in weeks months even it that cool at night. Got up today back to 83* inside and about 78* according to the weather bug outside. For real! I didn't really do any workouts this week. I did one small walk the other day and waited so long that it was only around the block cause it so dark. Dang dark early I do hate that about Fall coming...
2. Work this week is crap! I worked on Monday for 4hrs and then again yesterday I worked another 4hrs. 8hrs for ONE WEEK is just not great. Worse yet is unemployment. I was promised I would get $90 per week then they set up 2 different interviews and refused to pay me. I thought I was fighting for $180 and 2 checks so a lot of money. I managed to get the call on Thursday and they are like okay you will still get it. I have an in person this week that I hope to reschedule as it falls again when I am in school. Then I find out that I ONLY get $90 a week if I am NOT WORKING AT ALL THAT WEEK! This was NOT and repeat NOT explained to me! I even looked to see if it says that. It does NOT. IF I work and make MORE than $90 that week then I DO NOT GET THAT MONEY! IF I work and make LESS than $90 I get less of my money. I am ONLY not kidding for the past 4 weeks OWED $42. I've been fighting for so little. I'm not ungrateful I need the $$ but I really think its unfair I don't get what I was told I would get. Why not tell me I will get more then? Raise the bar so I get a better shot at getting some if I do work? They aren't gonna give it all to me. I think I should and I repeat SHOULD get $45 even if I work over $90 and if I work under I should get $90 that would be FAIR. After all this is my $$ its coming from. I am back to not depending on them and needing a real job ASAP. One that will give me hours and work around my schedule. Prefer not retail because retail is the most unreliable job you can have (fast food too maybe but never done that). SIIGGGHHHH
3. This weekend marks 8 years since our 2nd trip to TN. And boy was that fun. We found our apartment, spent time in down town Nashville and simply fell in love with that area! It was really hot though like 110 and my face felt like it was melting. My first experience with that much heat (ironic was just a few yrs later I was in AZ and it was hotter!). Only bad thing about that trip was losing our luggage for a few hours when we came back. It got sent on the wrong plane and eventually found its way back to us. That sucked. The rest of the trip didn't. I miss that year and our state!!
4. Our doom was 4 years ago this weekend. Beginning on the 1st we went through h*ll as we had 10 days to pack up our apartment and bolt from AZ faster then lightening. It was the most saddest move I have ever done. We loved that place, it was our, we moved in there and had zero time to say good bye. So much lost. And so many memories stolen from us. I will never stop questioning why we couldn't say why things did not work out and why we had to leave so fast. It will never make sense to me. 4 years looking back it still doesn't!
5. School is going odd ball fast. I dropped my 2nd online class at MCC. I loved that class I wanted to learn so much. I still have my book I can read that. But it was going very deep in math questions and I could only imagine it getting worse. I am horrible at math. And being forced to do all these math questions for homework that was due in less than an hour freaked me out. So I said good bye. As for PC I am doing okay. I am getting my homework in on time for my only online so far. 5 more weeks till my only MCC and other 2 online PC. I have my 2 in person. The tv station one is fun but a lot of work sometimes. I feel like I am losing it. And English I feel so dumb and I better pass my first test. If I don't I might bail again and just not do this for this semester. I hate doing it if I do I spent so much $$ on the books. But if that is how it is going down better bail then fail. So hoping I don't do that but might just might sigh.
Well that is all for now. Going to do some homework and clean. This week is promising to be so busy I will let you know when I am done which wont be sadly till next week and not even then! Have a great week and nice day off if you don't work on Labor Day. The one day celebrating those who have a job :)
1. So the weather is misbehaving again. When we first began this season before Summer it was like this. Cooler at night and hotter during the day. Few days ago I thought we was finally FINALLY seeing it become cooler all together. It was around 80* inside all day long. Then today came. Cooler last night when I went to bed 78* first time in weeks months even it that cool at night. Got up today back to 83* inside and about 78* according to the weather bug outside. For real! I didn't really do any workouts this week. I did one small walk the other day and waited so long that it was only around the block cause it so dark. Dang dark early I do hate that about Fall coming...
2. Work this week is crap! I worked on Monday for 4hrs and then again yesterday I worked another 4hrs. 8hrs for ONE WEEK is just not great. Worse yet is unemployment. I was promised I would get $90 per week then they set up 2 different interviews and refused to pay me. I thought I was fighting for $180 and 2 checks so a lot of money. I managed to get the call on Thursday and they are like okay you will still get it. I have an in person this week that I hope to reschedule as it falls again when I am in school. Then I find out that I ONLY get $90 a week if I am NOT WORKING AT ALL THAT WEEK! This was NOT and repeat NOT explained to me! I even looked to see if it says that. It does NOT. IF I work and make MORE than $90 that week then I DO NOT GET THAT MONEY! IF I work and make LESS than $90 I get less of my money. I am ONLY not kidding for the past 4 weeks OWED $42. I've been fighting for so little. I'm not ungrateful I need the $$ but I really think its unfair I don't get what I was told I would get. Why not tell me I will get more then? Raise the bar so I get a better shot at getting some if I do work? They aren't gonna give it all to me. I think I should and I repeat SHOULD get $45 even if I work over $90 and if I work under I should get $90 that would be FAIR. After all this is my $$ its coming from. I am back to not depending on them and needing a real job ASAP. One that will give me hours and work around my schedule. Prefer not retail because retail is the most unreliable job you can have (fast food too maybe but never done that). SIIGGGHHHH
3. This weekend marks 8 years since our 2nd trip to TN. And boy was that fun. We found our apartment, spent time in down town Nashville and simply fell in love with that area! It was really hot though like 110 and my face felt like it was melting. My first experience with that much heat (ironic was just a few yrs later I was in AZ and it was hotter!). Only bad thing about that trip was losing our luggage for a few hours when we came back. It got sent on the wrong plane and eventually found its way back to us. That sucked. The rest of the trip didn't. I miss that year and our state!!
4. Our doom was 4 years ago this weekend. Beginning on the 1st we went through h*ll as we had 10 days to pack up our apartment and bolt from AZ faster then lightening. It was the most saddest move I have ever done. We loved that place, it was our, we moved in there and had zero time to say good bye. So much lost. And so many memories stolen from us. I will never stop questioning why we couldn't say why things did not work out and why we had to leave so fast. It will never make sense to me. 4 years looking back it still doesn't!
5. School is going odd ball fast. I dropped my 2nd online class at MCC. I loved that class I wanted to learn so much. I still have my book I can read that. But it was going very deep in math questions and I could only imagine it getting worse. I am horrible at math. And being forced to do all these math questions for homework that was due in less than an hour freaked me out. So I said good bye. As for PC I am doing okay. I am getting my homework in on time for my only online so far. 5 more weeks till my only MCC and other 2 online PC. I have my 2 in person. The tv station one is fun but a lot of work sometimes. I feel like I am losing it. And English I feel so dumb and I better pass my first test. If I don't I might bail again and just not do this for this semester. I hate doing it if I do I spent so much $$ on the books. But if that is how it is going down better bail then fail. So hoping I don't do that but might just might sigh.
Well that is all for now. Going to do some homework and clean. This week is promising to be so busy I will let you know when I am done which wont be sadly till next week and not even then! Have a great week and nice day off if you don't work on Labor Day. The one day celebrating those who have a job :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 30th 2015)
Welcome to the LAST of these for August! The last full month of Summer is almost gone POOF as of tomorrow. Crazy huh? I've spent half it melting, half it in school and part of it working. How was your last full month of Summer? Depending where you live I guess you could be having heat waves or nothing special...
1. Speaking of heat. We have been in a BAD heat wave this past week. So bad I think I am melting. today it is supposed to be cooler? The weather bug reads 76* at 4pm (yes I am writing this the day I post it rare but true). But this past week there were days I thought I would die. Monday it was very hot my walk to the sprinter and then school were painful. Worse was Wednesday by time I arrived at school dripping in sweat from the walk to the sprinter from work it was 89* out. Thursday was super hot too. As was Friday our hottest yet some places reached over 100* we got around 90* inside and I am unsure about outside. I just know it was my only sleep in day of the long week and I got less then I wanted ugh over the heat. Its just a part of the Summer months.
2. Had our race last Sunday and it was a BLAST! It was fun. When I did the hot chocolate 15K in March I only made it 2 miles and had that horrible sinus infection. Looking back I bet I could have walked the whole 10 miles. I would have been in pain but I would have done it had I not been so dang sick. I think I had that thing for 3 or 4 months before I felt better. Now I still have allergies and I know how to deal with them. And hope it never comes back. Okay so the race was fun. 4 miles from La Jolla to Pacific Beach. Me and my sister walked the whole thing (she claimed she was gonna haha *run the whole thing* but didn't). We weren't even the last ones in according to our numbers there were like 30 people after us (unsure how that worked since we had the ambulance and shuttle behind us guess they behind that??). I am just proud for my metal and proud I walked 4 miles. I felt it after but yeah. That was my only real workout for the week so there you go. After our race the shuttle didn't come for us like promised which truly SUCKED and ruined the whole fun of the race. Waiting 1.5hrs for nothing and then having to take a taxi to our car back in La Jolla was NOT my idea of a good time! I did not get my free beer again but I did get my free sandwich, medal, shirt, tea and all that jazz.
3. After our race we hit Sea World. Yes I have been there again it has been TEN YEARS since last there. When we last went it was with my parents and other sister. My grandma was still alive. It was before cell phones. She still had the video camera we gave her that broke a few years later. Our trip Sunday was fun but short. My sister bought us the tickets for like $89 each but we can come back rest of year. It wouldn't be so bad to do this again next year. Its more than the zoo & safari park (that was $110 for us both for the whole year) but still. We didn't see any shows. We did see penguins, sea turtles, dolphins, sting rays and flamingos. I am still getting my pictures ready to post online. FUN FUN times. I support SW and will always. I love that place and all they do for animals out there. It was fun. SO much fun! I am disappointed they don't sell postcards anymore? What is up with that? I was hoping to get a few and maybe a keychain. I got a keychain and nothing else. Every place but them has them which is odd...
4. Work was busy last week. I SADLY lost my Friday shift knocking out my $30 I could have used for gifts for people. Now I will be short still and was not happy at all! I did work Monday & Wednesday before school for 4 hrs each. I got off on time Monday but had to fight for Wednesday got off few minutes late. I didn't work Friday. I did a full 8hrs on Saturday and then nothing today. This coming week as in starting today hours suck! UE is playing games with me. They want me to come to an in person interview on the day I am in school so I have to tell them I cant. And then they want me to a phone call interview when I am also in school. They keep picking Thursdays. I just don't get why they told me I was going to get it, I have to keep reporting I am looking for work but they didn't give me a phone interview first. And NOW I have to get both? NOW before I get any money? I am so short and so broke it makes me want to cry. Of course I am looking for a better job but when will that happen? Before or after I have to eat into my savings for my dogs stuff next year? Money doesn't rain from the sky for me and sadly the one thing I thought I would get is gone. I just wanted a few checks one or two and that way I could balance out some of my expenses and now I don't even got that. Please pray I find a job or UE comes through. I am NOT counting on them at all. I will continue to report but without doing the phone or in person I have no idea if they will even think about giving it to me. I can say I am working as I am working this week and next. I didn't lie on that thing at all. I think its lame how they are treating me like I lied to them or something instead of paying me. Unemployment SUCKS! :(
5. School this week has been interesting. Monday after my hard work to get there from work and the sprinter I arrived to find class cancelled. I guess the teacher had it emailed but I never saw it and neither did at least half my class mates. Tuesday I dropped my 2nd class I am down to 1 in person for Tuesday & Thursdays. I might take that one again in the Spring if its offered it was just too much for me like this too much going on. I am trying to be involved in school. I am getting excited and trying to take classes next Spring too that will broaden my aspects on work jobs. I will always keep dreaming of being on tv and working with celebrities and will never give that up but at this point experience a foot in the door I need that too. Maybe even do an internship in the Spring WE SHALL SEE! Also Mira Costa started so I am doing that online 2 classes. In October I will up long as I keep them 3 more classes. 1 more MCC and 2 more PC. I am coming in at 16units long as it sticks at PC and 7 units at MCC. School is keeping me busy. I need to make time to read and sleep too. Its just hard. 14 weeks to go haha!
Well that is all for now. I wrote a lot cause I could. I need to do homework. I have the house to myself for a few hours pure silence but still fill it with the fan and music. Its who I am. The pets and me. On a cooler but still warm Summer day. Have a great week everyone. See you next weekend in September!
1. Speaking of heat. We have been in a BAD heat wave this past week. So bad I think I am melting. today it is supposed to be cooler?

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 23rd 2015)
Today as I post this will be a busy fun day. But I will be tired! More about that next week. On with the show. One more of these for August and then BOOM we in September! And Summer is nearly gone. Wow sad!
1. Workouts not really this week at all. I waned to try something before school few times this week. It just didn't happen. I was going on very little sleep all the days I went and the two I could have was less sleep then wanted without getting up earlier for a walk even. On Friday I did a small walk and bike and that was all. Big race this coming Sunday that I am ZERO prepared for. I am glad that its not the 15K and I am not sick with a bad sinus infection that thing was nasty. PLEASE don't come back next Spring! So 4 miles and I am walking the whole thing. I wanted to bring my dog it is allowed but sadly the race has a shuttle that takes you from finish line to start line that does NOT allow dogs! Boo!
2. Weather this week is behaving oh so Summer like. Its Summer still and we had a nice heat wave going on most days this week. I know cause I was OUT in the heat for school. Every day. I live close to the beach so on Tuesday & Thursday when school was earlier we left when it was overcast and cloudy but not cold. And then got to San Marcos where school is and there was the sun. It never left our side. Cooler this weekend is nice but since I am not in school and not working that much yeah. Back to heat again next week thanks a lot LOL.
3. The 17th I remembered the date took me a second to figure out why. It finally came to me. It marked 11 years since I got hired on at The Lego Store in downtown Disney. I loved that job. And it loved me. By far one of my favorite jobs ever. I mean I loved working at LEGOLAND till they kinda booted me out with their hate. And B&N was great as was Borders. But the thing with Lego was the managers all loved me, I had nearly zero issues ever with anyone, I had great discounts, free entry to both California Adventure & Disneyland, fantastic co-workers, I fell in love with legos like never before and still have so many things I bought there. The list goes on and on. They were so sad when I left Robert nearly cried, I got a cake and flowers. Things I have never had from a job I left on my own that didn't leave me. Which is rare. I stay at jobs long enough but most I either lose or I go on terms not my own. This was sad. The thing is it was supposed to be temporary and I tried for a while to get out. The hours were okay but sometimes conflicting and we were open all the time so I had to work holidays. These things I hated. I wanted a job for my degree and I think if I had never HAD to move to Oceanside when grandma died in May 2006 I might still be there. And the store went to pot when I left bad stuff happened, many of the managers were fired, someone new took over and not one co-worker I had back then stayed much longer. All were gone within a year or two. I am friends with a few on fb I know these things! But yeah I was hired on the spot, my boss loved me and never even gave me a 2nd interview he liked me THAT much. That rarely happens!
4. Work this week not that much but more than the past 2 weeks. I worked on Sunday a nice long mid day of 8hrs. I was glad to be not closing but tired the whole time. I worked on Saturday a nice long 8 hour opening on a busy Saturday. And got to ride the Sprinter on the way home. This next week I work 4 count them 4 days and I am going to school too so this was be a really long week. But bring it on I need the hours! I am still waiting for unemployment to send me my first check. I sent in my first set of 2 weeks worth and I am unsure how long the first check takes. I need it badly actually so yes please oh please!
5. School I left this for last as its been a crazy crazy week! I went to school Monday by myself rode the Sprinter there and back. I had just my one class English10 and I feel dumb not only that I am taking this with so many kids straight from high school. But its the bottom English class and we are learning what nouns and verbs are and why cant I remember any of these? I graduated high school English has always been my favorite class. I had English classes in college. But 15 years later why cant I remember this stuff? I am a writer with bad grammar and cant spell half the stuff. So I need this class. I love English I will pass this and move on. My sister got tested in to the one above me so she is in English50 while I suffer in English10. On Tuesday I liked my first two classes. It wont be easy lots of work, homework and test. Plus running the TV SHOW that they run for my one class. And early early classes on Thursdays beginning in September no comment. I dropped my 3rd one because I am unsure why they combined the 4 levels of this same kind of class in ONE class. It freaked me out. Too much. I had too much on my plate so I dropped that. Glad I had no book for that class yeah about that. So now I have just 2 classes on Tuesday & Thursdays. We dropped (meaning me and my sister) our math15 class after the meeting it was online the teacher is a bit nuts and frankly I think its better done in person. Will try again in the Spring. Wednesday repeat like Monday. So Thursday I had just 2 classes and that was nice. I tried to add another 2 online but only got one added. So I have dropped from 19units to 16units. I have 2 that wont begin till October around time my 1 for MiraCosta starts. Speaking of MCC I begin my 2 online classes with them on Monday so I will be busy really much all the time. I am glad I had no school and no work today as of tomorrow I will be non stop till Sunday and who knows past that (will know tomorrow). Yeah anyways.
Well that concludes week one of school. Just 15 to go! I wanted this but still its a lot. I need to go to bed earlier, but still make time for reading books and having fun. I cant be just working and school like I have been doing. I just need to recall all this is for getting experience, and fun and not so serious. I have a BA degree. I wont die if I don't get to keep doing this or if I don't do super great in my classes. So there you go. Perspective I had some this week! Till next weekend see you. Have a nice last full week of August!
1. Workouts not really this week at all. I waned to try something before school few times this week. It just didn't happen.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 16th 2015)
Welcome to the 3rd one of these in August. There are actually 2 more of these wow August has FIVE Sundays did you know that? Crazy stuff!
1. Work I will start with this. I haven't been working ALL week. Unlike last week I was not called not even ONCE. I just don't get it. 2 weeks and no extra shift. They are killing me. I worked on Sunday this week and it was a long day and we got off a bit late. And thus ends my 2 weeks on 1 day each coming in at 15hrs (the amount I am working just next week and not the following). Smallest check in forever sigh. However I am glad to report that unemployment is going to be helping me out with $90 extra per week. I am unsure when it begins but it all helps. And of course I am looking for a better replacement job for sure. You know one that pays better and gives me hours. And hopefully not retail but who knows...
2. Hard to believe this weekend 14th, 15th & 16th marks 8 years since our first trip to Nashville. We spent more time in Memphis then Nashville and only saw a few apartments. We got lost a lot. But fell in love with so much. Beautiful state, friendly people and cheap everything. Gad. I miss it so much. I love you Nashville! Just crazy been over 5 years since last saw it...
3. I worry about my dog Rainbow. She has been increasing her coughing not decreasing it at a bad rate. Yesterday she ended at 5 coughs, the day before a record 6 coughs. Her resting rate has jumped up and down the past few days. She had teens for 2 days and then 25 for two days and then yesterday she went back down to 19. I am keeping track as long as I need to, forever if I have to. I love her so much and just want to get through this year and her be okay. An xray if needed isn't cheap. I have that health thing I pay for each month but its still close to $100 for an xray. My extra money is going away too fast and I am unable to pay much back. I am beyond not wanting to touch the remaining $600 in my savings so she can have that for her next echocardiogram next year in June. Its just no fun. I love my dog. I want the best for her. But its really just stressing me out she has so much needs to be paid for and I have so little to give her. I give her love and prayers and do all I can for her. Keep her in prayers please.
4. Workouts this week not so much. I tried a walk and bike twice. But for some reason my dog wouldn't really walk last time I tried it few days ago. I think her arthritis is acting up or something poor thing :( Today on my last day to not be called I went on a ride with my mom and sister by the beach. Took my baby with me. So hot out. We were over 90 when we left thankfully dropped to below 80 now inside it is still 85. Last fun trip for a while no time as of next week.
5. Wednesday last minute decided to do the water park at LEGOLAND we did not get to do last week. I thought we doing it on Thursday but we did it on Wednesday instead. I was not planning it and was super tired but no calls and lets just do this. Good thing cause sister had to work on Thursday after all that. So we went for 3hrs and it was so much fun! Sure it was exhausting but had fun. Did all we wanted to. Even tried the Chima park the wave pool was not super deep but still fun. Makes me miss like Ragging Waters pool it was way deeper! After we got crepes and then left to go home. Got to see the Carlsbad Library first time since the Spring when I rode a bus there to get stuff. But this semester will be harder to do that kind of stuff as I get off school so late. So got some books been reading them too.
Well that is all for now my last week before school. Yes SCHOOL begins next week. Unsure if we keeping our pre-algebra online class the teacher is a bit nuts. Will decide after our meeting on Tuesday and seeing how the free trial goes and homework. We have till end of month to decide. I vow to keep reading books but need sleep too and it will be exhausting. I am taking IF I keep math 19 units at Palomar and then another smaller amount of online at MiraCosta. My sister cant do MCC this semester they are keeping her from it due to grades lame stuff. I will be busy busy but will make time for the little things. And fall is coming bring on cooler temps and our shows coming back on the air!!! Have a great week everyone see you on the other side of my first week of school and a busy one at that!
1. Work I will start with this. I haven't been working ALL week. Unlike last week I was not called not even ONCE. I just don't get it. 2 weeks and no extra shift. They are killing me. I worked on Sunday this week and it was a long day and we got off a bit late. And thus ends my 2 weeks on 1 day each coming in at 15hrs (the amount I am working just next week and not the following). Smallest check in forever sigh. However I am glad to report that unemployment is going to be helping me out with $90 extra per week. I am unsure when it begins but it all helps. And of course I am looking for a better replacement job for sure. You know one that pays better and gives me hours. And hopefully not retail but who knows...
2. Hard to believe this weekend 14th, 15th & 16th marks 8 years since our first trip to Nashville. We spent more time in Memphis then Nashville and only saw a few apartments. We got lost a lot. But fell in love with so much. Beautiful state, friendly people and cheap everything. Gad. I miss it so much. I love you Nashville! Just crazy been over 5 years since last saw it...

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 9th 2015)
Welcome! I should be at LEGOLAND right now but they changed their dumb rules and cost us getting to do the water park today even if we planned it a month in advance they changed the rules few days ago NO free days for employees and the pass on Saturdays till end of Season. This is a new dumb rule! Trying to do it next week when I don work and my sister doesn't or its not happening as school is a week away!
1. The 6th marks 7 years since my Tinkerbell hamster went to heaven. I loved that silly little thing for the one year and a half I had her. I got her in April 2007 and she died in 2008 the day after my parents anniversary. I walked in the bathroom downstairs in our townhouse in TN where I was keeping her to stay cooler than me hot room upstairs and she was not moving she looked asleep. I cried and cried. I was all alone my sister at work till later. That night when she came home we buried her in an old check box in the dirt riverbed where the trees were behind our apartments. Afraid someone would see us and that the coming summer storm would get us. Often wonder how long it took for that box to be revealed we buried it deep but not that deep. Her sad death led to a month of planning to buy 2 gerbils (you have to get them in pairs but they are illegal in California!). I had the money saved up I was just days from getting the stuff and then some in September when Jackie & Rocky got abandoned on us. I call it that. Their owner left them and never came back for them expecting us to rehome them or keep them. God works in mysterious ways the timing was there that we got 2 cats not 2 gerbils! Miss you Tink!
2. For the past 2 months our neighbor next door has been having her whole yard re-done. She thinks its pretty we think its annoying. It steals our sleep when they are working on it EARLY in the morning. Their favorite days are Saturdays (7am NOT KIDDING) and Sundays. Sometimes in the afternoon. I thought it was done when the front yard was done as they are right by our window its Summer of course its open so its extra loud. Now they are in the backyard and its still loud they are doing more and more. Joking a pool is next haha NOT. Now our parents get to hear what we have been for months. Half my lost sleep is from the heat this Summer and half from that stupid building going on forever. UGH UGH why me.
3. Work is unexpectly not happening much. I got called twice this week both small shifts I missed the chance at. Next week I am FOR SURE putting my phone on. I am pretty free Mon, Tue, Fri, & Sat. I want either Wed or Thur for the water park. So I only work last Sunday and it was not super busy and the day seemed to drag on. My feet were hurting so bad from working Fri & Sat IDK why but it was horrible and being tired only added to my pains. I was so glad to be off. Hopeful for a week of calls and disappointed the two I got I missed I would have done them too not even closings sigh.
4. Workouts not much this week. I managed two walks this week both about 20 mint long and each followed by a 5 to 6 mint bike ride. I also managed on Friday a 20mint Zumba, plus 4 Michael Jackson dance games. It was exhausting I felt that pain! Pretty sure we doing a 4 mile walk/run end of month I am in NO way prepared for. If it happens it should be fun but I will be walking the whole thing. Wish I could take my dog they never allow that around here...
5. Wednesday was exhausting but SO MUCH FUN! I didn't get much sleep then took a Dramamine for a boat ride around the harbor. My parents celebrated their 37th and let us (me and my sister) ride for the hour in their boat they rented. Adorable thing had shade and all. We went around the harbor and close to but not the ocean. Got some waves at one point. It was the most fun I have had in a while! Then while they headed back out to Dana Point I waited for my sisters van to come home. I slept a lot off and on due the Dramamine it killed me man. I slept good that night simply cause of that stuff! But yeah fun.
Well this week I did not do a lot much. Hope next week for water park, at least one or two extra shifts, and do some cleaning and get ready. School is soon so soon. Keeping an eye on my baby girl my poor dog and her coughing. Counting her breaths when she sleeps 1x a day. Giving her pills and trying to not stress out with the time I have with her. Prayers its many more years she is my kid. Have a great week everyone! See you next weekend before school begins :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 2nd 2015)
Welcome to August! This is the last full month of the Summer and usually the most hot. Shall see. So far its looking like July hot enough to be annoying but not so hot you are dying. I still miss a/c at home and at work it would be nice to be cooler there too!
1. Rainbows vet visit is weighing heavy on my mind and heart. I am really stressed out about this. Hard to believe April which seems a thousand years ago was only 4 months ago. Just 4 months ago our lives changed forever. Thursday I got Rainbow in to the vet. The visit was very fast. With her pee sample I managed to get that morning no problem actually. They got her in and out in 5 min. I didn't expect that. I was hoping and praying for miracles (her kidneys not affected badly). The vet called me shortly after I had left and gave me not such good news. Her kidney levels are elevated in a way that is a concern. She told me that we may need to change dosage on her meds but would be talking to another vet the next day (yesterday). So I went home that night not knowing what to expect. Yesterday when she had not called me the whole day I was off work and they were about to close in an hour I finally talked to her. The guy she called (one of the people that did her test in June) had not gotten back to her. So she told me to change my dosage on her pills immediately! Just wanted to note here she takes 3 pills a day twice a day. 1 pill is cut in half so is half in the morning half at night. The other 2 are regular sized twice a day. Well the one I cut in half I am now to not give AT ALL. The smaller of the two I am now to give her ONCE a day EVERY OTHER DAY. I am leaving alone the largest, most expensive of the 3 for now that is okay. She hopes the vet will get back to her this weekend. If I don't hear back by Monday I can check back. She will have to talk to another vet about this if they don't get back to her by Monday. For now this is how we are doing this. Another possible test coming up. Hours are crap at work and I am stressed out we might need another test each one cost me $70 she has had them twice now. I'm trying not to stress trust God about this and how to pay and stuff but its just not easy for someone like me. Ye of little faith why did you doubt? Sigh.
2. Heat has been a big factor this week on sleep. The days I can sleep in are not easy. When it pops up to past 80* and up to 85* its just not easy to sleep. I even tried using my cold pack which usually works and it didn't. I know some Summers we have it hit 90's and even 100 I have seen that before. But everything counts. So my lack of sleep this week is in part to the stupid heat. Ah Summer fun but heat not so much.
3. Saw Ant-Man on Tuesday night. Finally saw a movie. Havent seen one since we saw Avengers a 2nd time. It was EXCELLENT AWESOME AND SO GOOD! Had to see it in 3-D so I am unsure how it is in 2-D. I would see it again in regular of course and cheaper. But unsure if that will happen while it in theaters. So yeah go see it. Paul Rudd is thee most adorable older actor out there. He ages beautifully and looks better at mid 40's then he did mid 20's in Clueless when we first noticed him!
4. School is COMING SOON! No kidding we are just 2 weeks away and a day from school beginning. Palomar is what I am talking about. MiraCosta is the next week and not only am the only one of us 2 taking classes this time there. All mine are online (3 at the time I am hoping for a 4th). I have ordered my only book I am renting. My sister and me are sharing a math book. And I have one more to rent on my kindle. If I get in the one I am waiting for I think that one is a kindle too but I could be wrong. I added 1 more at PC but I am unsure if will keep it. Wont start till October and needs a book as well. But if I get in the one at MCC I want I will drop this one. Its like my odd back up that I could find.
5. Work has been busy this week. Enjoy that while I can ha not really. I worked 4 days and the 2 I have closed so far we got off half hour later then I thought. I am sad that my job has dropped my hours to nearly zero. This week and next I only work ONE day a closing 8hr shift which means I could only get 7hrs each week and I count on nothing more. I am praying they call me this week and I will do my best to pick that up if I can. I am doing something this coming Saturday and also on Wednesday. But Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday I am open to work. I am also gonna use this time to look for another job because I cant go on like this sad but true :(
Well that's all for now. Gonna post this on time tomorrow! I hope you all have a great week. Stay cool. Welcome to August. See you on the other side of next weekend!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 26th 2015)
Sorry this is late. I wanted to do it early like I usually do but my week was so full that I wanted to include all the details. And my poor hand is still hurting my thumb and all! Sigh. Otherwise doing okay. Tired not super busy lazy summer...
1. Work kept me busy last week NOT really. I only worked twice for real yo. Lately if I ask for a day off they give me hardly anything. So this coming check and my second in August too will be so small. I need a new job please keep me in prayers. I need to get motivated to get one. I only worked twice Sunday and then again on Friday. I asked for Thursday & Saturday off. They tried to call me in on Tuesday when I had plans and both Thursday & Saturday. I would have considered had they tried on Monday or Wednesday but NO they chose the days requested or the one I had plans. Bummer all around. Repeating last Summer for hours not cool. IDK how I can get less hours when I am open all the time then I do for school when I am limited to just 3 or 4 days... anyways
2. It has been a hot hot Summer for past few weeks. To the point where it is sometimes hard to stay asleep past a certain time. I am all for putting the bigger fan in my room if I have to sleep. While it sucks when I cant sleep in its nice to not be trying to sleep half the day in this heat. This is NOT like 2012 or 2014 when it was very hot months and months. And we get rain too its so odd. Wonder how fall will be we need the rain but the heat no thank you!
3. Thursday did the Adventure Run again for free in Carlsbad. Got super late due to my sisters car oil change taking nearly 3 hours (they were busy but still it was annoying how they made us wait a good 30min longer cause they dumb and couldn't figure out to back the car out when the car in front of it wasn't done yet but ours was NOT COOL!). We did take my dog which was fun. She is awesome. She was more active then me. We decided to not go to a lot of places for tickets cause of how exhausting it was but then I hurt my foot some how (still hurts) and went to one less place. Still had fun. Didn't win anything neither of us did. My dog was the life of the race everyone loved her :) After we did Blaze Pizza again just sat outside and she sat in a chair. She was nervous at first but I think being with us and knowing it wasn't a bad thing even if the crowds made her nervous she liked that. A guy even said to us at the pizza place that she was well behaved he wished his dog was (dog was with him there and in the race too). Sadly cant do these runs anymore this year. I have classes starting in August on Thursday nights so there you go... but at least we did 2 not bad for us!
4. Tuesday was an interesting day even if we got a late start. A first in forever a day with the girls. Mom, my sister and me went up to La Jolla. First we hit up Nordstorms got some ice storms (Frappe's) we missed having. Then we went to the cove and walked on the beach and got close up to some seals. It was fun. Not fun was the traffic on the way home, stopping at a starbucks to use restroom before home and van got hit (not a bad dent just small but still) and of course sunburns from being outside 1.5hrs during the prime sunburn times without block cause we forgot it. Still fun day glad we did it
5. Saturday was going to be a way different day then turned out. We were going to do the LA Zoo then Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach with my sisters friend. Then her friend bailed. So we found out the aquarium cheaper 5-8 just $15 so we planned to go there after seeing our cousin. Sadly traffic was HORRIBLE we were in it nearly 3 hours from here to orange county. So we missed seeing her. And only got to the aquarium for 2hours. But we still had fun. Ate at Chili's for the only second time in my life that I can recall (last time was in AZ in 2011). Not bad food. Came home and bed late exhausted day.
That's all for now. Last one of these for July. Cant believe we are at the end of the month, Summer is half way over and I still haven't bought myself a container of ice cream. What is up with that? Keep my Rainbow in prayers vet visit again on Thursday this week (more about that next Sunday) checking same stuff as last month. Getting a pee sample wont be fun. Have a nice week. I work more and am busy but alright. See you in August!!!!
1. Work kept me busy last week NOT really. I only worked twice for real yo. Lately if I ask for a day off they give me hardly anything. So this coming check and my second in August too will be so small. I need a new job please keep me in prayers. I need to get motivated to get one. I only worked twice Sunday and then again on Friday.

A guy even said to us at the pizza place that she was well behaved he wished his dog was (dog was with him there and in the race too). Sadly cant do these runs anymore this year. I have classes starting in August on Thursday nights so there you go... but at least we did 2 not bad for us!
4. Tuesday was an interesting day even if we got a late start. A first in forever a day with the girls. Mom, my sister and me went up to La Jolla. First we hit up Nordstorms got some ice storms (Frappe's) we missed having. Then we went to the cove and walked on the beach and got close up to some seals. It was fun. Not fun was the traffic on the way home, stopping at a starbucks to use restroom before home and van got hit (not a bad dent just small but still) and of course sunburns from being outside 1.5hrs during the prime sunburn times without block cause we forgot it. Still fun day glad we did it
5. Saturday was going to be a way different day then turned out. We were going to do the LA Zoo then Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach with my sisters friend. Then her friend bailed. So we found out the aquarium cheaper 5-8 just $15 so we planned to go there after seeing our cousin. Sadly traffic was HORRIBLE we were in it nearly 3 hours from here to orange county. So we missed seeing her. And only got to the aquarium for 2hours. But we still had fun. Ate at Chili's for the only second time in my life that I can recall (last time was in AZ in 2011). Not bad food. Came home and bed late exhausted day.
That's all for now. Last one of these for July. Cant believe we are at the end of the month, Summer is half way over and I still haven't bought myself a container of ice cream. What is up with that? Keep my Rainbow in prayers vet visit again on Thursday this week (more about that next Sunday) checking same stuff as last month. Getting a pee sample wont be fun. Have a nice week. I work more and am busy but alright. See you in August!!!!
