Welcome to the last one of these for July. Why has this month been so long? Then again now that August is coming so is school and all kinds of fun stuff. Maybe haha!! Hope you had a good week!!
1. Church was good on Sunday. As always it was. Before church was cool too. I was outside doing my quiet time and about to go inside when this hawk that I am sure is the one I saw the week before shows up in our tree. It yells lands and then flies away before I can record it on video. I got one picture of it. Later in the week my mom saw the hawk and also a wood pecker. Crazy. God is so good! I love His creation and I am thankful for each bird I get to see. Not just my humming birds ;)
2. Today marks a year since my PAIN really got bad last year! What a year it has been. That pain began with me going to the doctor pretty much every other week at least once. I had blood test, a physical and all kinds of fun. An ultrasound which showed nothing. In the end my pain had a name PCOS and that was it. I had stomach issues too. Last year was painful. Since then my pain hasn't gone away. But its changed. While last year the pain freaked me out and sent me into a major panic. Now I just trust Jesus even for the new pains and just let Him take care of me. I still don't fully know what is *wrong* with me but its more than just PCOS. Still I am here. Every day I am still here. No matter new pains old pains all kinds of pains. I am still here. So for every day I am here I know I am meant to be here. If this pain is serious or leading to something I am still here. My date is set I am unsure when it is. Most people don't know when their time will come. So I keep trusting Jesus walking forward and keeping my eyes not the only one I truly trust with my pain sickness sin and life. The one who died to free me. If you don't know Him friends I pray you will someday. Life changing for sure which is what it is supposed to be :)
3. Monday was a hot evening and my sister was home for no reason not working. So we went down and got ice cream at Dairy Queen aka DQ. Then we went to the beach by the harbor and even in the evening it was crowded. Took a bunch of pictures and almost got wet. Haha. Had fun!! Came home later then planned but still nice beach trip. Still need to do at least ONE real one this Summer where I get more than my feet wet. Working on it but unsure when. Hopefully before school returns on the 20th of August.
4. Show 6 was done and was fun. If you don't follow my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/djhollyhobbie I have my first hour live on there. Show 6 was a great time. I had fun with my movies and all that jazz. I had fun. Hard to believe how close to end we are to this. Then back to school and back to longer shows. This time its just 10 weeks (well 9 for me I didnt do it on the 4th of July).
5. Saw Mission Impossible 6 on Thursday evening. Was a VERY INTENSE film no joke! Not as *funny* as the others but still had its humor. I love these films. Ever since the 4th one been really into them. I loved the first one but have not seen the 2nd or 3rd one a whole lot. Unsure why. Different me different time different person back then. SO go see it very good in theaters!
So today marks 4 months since Babies R Us closed for good!! I am still so sad about it. :( I miss my job I miss my co workers. Its to be understandable. Its a broken heart healing thing. I have let it go to God and know it will be okay. I am still waiting for my job and barely living off UE but learning to balance my money again and knowing I cant spend it on pointless junk I don't really need is a very nice lesson I hate living. Gonna just say it. Yup. Its also been a month since Toys R Us closed for good on June 29th. I am sad about that too. Its like I forget and then get reminded again. Just yesterday walking around Target and seeing baby stuff put me into a moment of holding my tongue and breath and walking fast away. I am unsure at this point how long it will be till I am okay with any of this I might never be. It makes me human it makes me normal. And that is okay in the end it truly is. Well have a good week everyone. Mine will be more busy this time for sure. Even with my sister working so won't be doing as much with her several of my days will be full of stuff. God bless as always and see you all in August!! :)
Every weekend I write down the top 5 things that happened to me from the week it ends on (usually Sundays). Stole/borrowed the idea from author Sarah Dessen. Very fun!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 22nd 2018)
Welcome! We are speeding our way through July. WOW crazy!! Dealing okay with the heat. Best I can. Hope you had a great week. Mine was tiring as always but I had fun too. No complaints there!! God is good always no matter what happens He is in control :)
1. Went and saw Ant Man & The Wasp again. Same day as the guy coming back for our fridge. Ugh. But hopefully it okay for good for now! Ant Man was good :) and funny still! So yeah for $7 movies. Won't be back again to there for a few weeks at least. Next movie we see Mission Impossible I am unsure where we seeing it but probably at Carlsbad since its where we go for newer films.
2. Show 5 went great at school. I did facebook live on my fan page SO YOU CAN SEE IT TOO! http://www.facebook.com/djhollyhobbie I did it for 45min then followed up with like 5min on Instagram. That is temporary not on there more than 24hrs. But fun. My plans facebook live rest of the semester. Which is coming up fast. So yeah show 5 done and done. I need to work on my commercial and set up a time to do my thing with my manager.
3. Went to the GYM once last week. Sure I was exhausted after my show. I felt like death after 2 days in a row of around 3hrs sleep each. But I still went after my show. Met my sister and had fun somewhat. She took me shopping and that was done finally. So yeah for that. Tired or not I love the gym.
4. Comic Con on Friday. Went for the free area. Almost saw Conan show but decided not to NOT knowing the train came later then the last train we thought. It was not meant to be. Instead we walked round fried in the sun got heat exhaustion and were glad to get our donuts and head home. But yeah for that. Wanted to try to go back today for the show again but my sister works next two so doubt that happening. Today would have been cool IF we inside Hall H they had Fantastic Beast cast there UNFAIR! Its okay I know I will never see Hall H from the inside. People were living outside there in their tents that couldn't get in today. If you get in you live there too. So its awesome to get in I am sure but not so awesome to NOT get in. Like we didnt in 2013 the only time we tried!
5. This week had a mix of reminders. Its been 10 years as of the 20th of July I joined facebook. All for my ex best friend. I was on myspace till then. So many on FB and I got lots of friends fast. What a 10 years it has been. This week marks 10 years since I graduated from CSB I loved my broadcasting school I learned so much about radio & tv. Maggie's birthday was the 17th she SHOULD have turned 14 :( Miss you sweet Orange kitty. Never knew in 2015 she turned 11 and that was her last birthday with us. I planned to have her with us till she was at least 20. And its been 8 years that we moved into our apartment in AZ. Last week I remarked on the move. The move in and getting used to AZ was something else. WE loved AZ it was our desert home for a year plus. But in the end it was our last time out of our parents world for a while unsure when if we will ever move again. But yeah for AZ
Well church was good this week. And had a fun time as always. I ended up taking a nap after and this heat that was not a good thing. We are so close to going back to school while in school its crazy. But it is fine too. Life is good. God is good. And that is the most important thing to live in Gods will and be alive each day while knowing each day I am closer to going home. Yeah. God bless you all. One more of these in July. Till then bye!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 15th 2018)
Welcome Welcome. Slow week for me. How about you? Next week I mean this coming week will be a bit more lively but hey it was still fun right. I love it!!
1. Church was good this week!! We decided to sing hymns like not all of it was but hey. Takes me back to my good old days at the original Calvary Chapel in CM. Then I started missing Pastor Chuck. Its weird how time is when you get older. Days fly by years even more so. But when you really think about it years still feels long ago. That is how it is when you get older. The closer I am to approaching my new decade (Next year) the closer I am to realizing how numbers are just numbers age is nothing. And life is about what you make it. God knows we are are simply dust and time is flow and goes by fast. Like a wisp. We need to realize it to and ask God to help us number our days so they matter for Him! Yeah! Deep thoughts but true ones :)
2. Show 4 was great at school!! Just 5 more to go woohoo! I will have about a week point five break before Fall begins. Yes I know I am applying again. While its a blast doing this weekly I am truly working on my skills and upping them as experience for a future job in radio. I think I could do this. Which is weird cause 10 years ago since I graduated from CSB I thought I was for sure into tv and didnt care as much for radio. Mind you was I greatly disappointed when the school closed before I got a demo for my radio and left with whatever I had and nothing else. SO this is my big chance. I will try to do the TV thing one more time and I am keeping one internship I get one for tv I hope in the future. But for now radio might be more for me! I find the more I do this the more I love it the harder it will be to eventually say good bye. But hey long as I am allowed to come back I will!! :)
3. Went and saw Incrediables 2 again this time at Regal in SM. Its $7 on Tuesdays which is awesome!! Got Rubio tacos before yum. Was gonna do the GYM but time got away from us so only did the movie. I had to come home early for my show and I always get to bed late so why do I bother kidding!! But hey yeah love that film still.
4. Thursday my sister and me went off to the park with my dog. It is the one by us we do it like once a year at least. Fun to look at the water and chase the ducks and such. Saw some geese too they are HUGE compared to the ducks wow. And not so nice but funny from afar. Got slush drinks at Sonic before coming home. Yum
5. Its hard to believe 8 years ago at this time my sister and me were pushing our way across the country. It took us at least 2 extra days to leave TN for AZ. The trip was long and harsh. Different from 3 years before. Different state not going to Cali yet. We went where we were supposed to be. I always look back fondly with AZ. We learned so much about living on our own and not so much. Being closer to home. I got my internship and Mel got her first real job she loved and hated leaving. I used to question the why's like why we had to leave so fast or why I could never get a job. I know God had better plans for us. That is why just a bit over a year later we were forced to move back home. But yeah AZ I Love you miss you a lot. A year after we moved there at this time I was doing my internship still I loved so much and wanted so badly for it to turn into a real job...
Well our fridge was on the fritz for a while. But worse each day. Mainly our ice machine. So a guy came out on Tuesday to fix it. It cost a lot but would have cost more to get a new one. It was a crazy stressful day was so glad when it was over with. And we could safely disappear to our movie that night. Yup. Well have a great week everyone!! I have a few days doing stuff so that is cool. It still hot out but baring with it. My bird bath came I still take nightly and daily picts of my birdies. And love watching them all day long. Still no job but God is good and in control. And one day I will look back and realize why I had to wait so long for a new career to begin. Till next weekend stay cool and God bless you all!! :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 8th 2018)
Welcome welcome to Summer!! I only say that because of the HEAT WAVE we are experiencing as I write this. Heat wave for us beach people is anything 90* or higher. I know inland is suffering deeply. This takes me back to my good old days of living in Arizona but not so much as they are suffering too way worse than here. Still 90* inside yuck. I am stuck together and long for the days of cooler temps. My favorite season is Spring. What is yours?
1. Monday we went to the Del Mar Fair. I didnt know for sure we would get to go this year. I am broke and no job of course so that was fun still I found money even if I have hardly any extra left. We went earlier too so there was that. All to see a concert which took our extra time. Normally we arrive around 3:30 or 4. This time we made the 11:08 train so after bus we got to the fair about 12pm. And stayed till 8:30. This is the longest we have done for the fair I think ever maybe around what we did for our first one out there the free one in 2014. So after we there and we didnt ride much. In fact despite arriving so early we didnt see the turkey trot or the pig race. We never made it to the animals. But we did ride our ride, get some odd food the cheap food isn't but on Thursdays so we paid more. It was hot so we spent time inside. The candy theme "How Sweet it Is" was everywhere. So much unicorn stuff. But we only tried the ice cream it was a bit sweet. We split up and yeah that was good but yeah a lot of sugar lol. After walking around and buying a few small things and some food. And our ride just one way. We saw The Ojays. Sadly the concert didnt start at 7 but 7:30 and we had to leave by 8 so we could make the bus by 8:30 so we only heard a half hour. But it was nice and cool up there for the time being. And had fun. I honestly think I know 2 songs by them and heard one. By end of day I felt horrible. Tired from two days of lack of sleep. The heat and odd food selections. It made me glad to be home when we got home that night. OH well had fun no complaints. Glad we got to go!
2. July 3rd is a sad reminder each year of how far and long I am from my first job closing a store. B&N closed their doors the one I at 14 years ago on July 3rd 2004. I want to tell you had sad I was back then and even now when that happened. I was about to graduate college. I had plans. I was going to go full time till I could save enough money to move to LA to pursue my dream of entertainment broadcasting (not knowing how hard it is and how much you need actual experience which I didnt have yet) when I found out my store was closing for good. I could have moved on to another store store but with few options I ended up not. I lost my store my co workers and my broken heart at closing a store for 3 weeks. I was only out of work a month before I got hired at Lego Store my beloved downtown Disney job. But it felt longer. I will always recall the last day we open July 3rd and how sad it was to say good bye.
4. 4th of July long but fun day. We shortened a bit. Originally we planned to go to San Clemente Beach for the whole day for swimming chilling then fireworks. Then we decided to go later and just put our feet in the water. After looking for shoes for my sister and me at this outlet mall never been to... we parked and got situated. At the beach like 3.5hrs from 6 to 9:30. We didnt get to the beach till like 7 after walking and such. Put our feet in the water, got a slice of pizza each and waited for the fireworks. We sat on the beach a first we usually just walk up as they begin and barely see them. Had fun!! Then Dennys before we headed home. Nice night loved it. Happy 242nd USA!!
5. Thursday I had an interview at The Animal Keeper which is like a place people leave their pets when they go on vacation. I am unsure if this would work out. They would have to be okay with me not working Sundays or Wednesdays. And in the fall it would be Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. They have odd schedules. Well Thursday night after that interview we went and saw Ant Man & The Wasp. Good film very funny!! I almost liked it better than the first. Truly would see it again if I could :)
Church is good as always. Had a guest speaker on Sunday so that was different but fun. Well I will see you all next weekend. My show will be back on the air DJ after taking a break for the 4th of July. As always I am working on my show ideas, looking for a job and trying to stay cool. Next week after this FULL week will be a lot less not so full. Hope for the beach maybe or the gym or a movie but not much else. Till next weekend have a good one. Hope you have AC and are staying cool wherever you are. God bless!! :)
