Quick update before I get some work done.

I did get that job I was interviewing for!!! Long story but I got it, then I didn't, but then I did! Lots of waiting and frustration. Been in school almost 3 weeks now. Trying to get caught up with all this stuff I missed since I was a late hire. Which has made it stressful and busy. But it is only a year position....it's a year that I didn't have with a position that will look good on my resume. I hope it leads to another job at the school.

My friend and I went on something called Letterboxing last week. It is like geocaching but you follow clues to these home-made stamps. You leave your stamp in a notebook and place their stamp in your notebook. You put everything back and go to the next one. It is amazing where these things are hidden! Right in the middle of everything!

Supernatural on Thursday! Wahoo! I am pumped! The gag reel on the DVD is hilarious!!!

13th vs. MBV

2009-06-28T22:39:36Z

Ok, so I am WAAAAYYYYY behind in my movies. My sister and I FINALLY got around to renting Friday the 13th and My Bloody Valentine. Saw FT13 on Friday (haha) and MBV on Saturday.

I have never seen any of the Jason movies so I was new coming into it and had nothing to compare it to. Overall I did not like it. Too slow, too perdictible, too much language, sex, drugs, and alcohol (I sound like a grandma). I just thought it took away from liking the characters and the "story-line." I did think Jared did great in his role but didn't like too much else.

MBV I was not able to see it in 3D as the rental box had no glasses with it. Eventhough there was nothing popping out at me, I still enjoyed it. I thought there was a story line and the characters were relateable. I also loved the twist! Was not expecting that!

Glad I am catching up on my movies. Now to get to the theater to see Transformers!!

I'm Out!

2009-05-22T00:28:42Z

Peace ya'll! Wait, I am not from Texas. *clears throat*

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day! My first day off from my 2 jobs since New Years! I am pumped! Headed to Utah to see my best friend! What will we do....who knows!

I am so far behind on posts and I will be gone for 4 days....I miss what you are all saying! Hope everyone is well! Have fun!

Not My Book!!!

2009-03-07T23:28:18Z

I ordered the SPN Companion for Season 3 through Amazon. They sent it on the 1st and sent me a little tracking code. I have not received it so I logged in to see where it was. According to the tracking, it was delivered to my house yesterday......

Um.... I don't have it. So, I just got off the phone with the post office. The lady was nice and said the carrier was not there and to call back Monday. What do you think they can do? Nothing? I have a feeling I am out that money... *cries*

Update

2009-02-21T19:39:55Z

Sitting here printing a bunch of resumes for the Teacher's Fair I am attending next Saturday. I am nervous. I think main reason is my old school district is going to be there. Now it comes down to getting what I need to get done and avoiding them. I really don't want to see them and I don't want them to see me. Such a sad time when you thought teaching was a safe field to get into. WRONG!

My bf FINALLY got a job! It is only seasonal but it is something. His first step to living in the real world (oh long story with him working for his mom....don't get me started!) Cool thing is it is something we both enjoy and he will be working with a friend of ours.

Snowed last night. Haven't seen that in a while and it really came down! Roads got icy pretty fast. Fun when I was out at 10 p.m. for a soccer game.

Trying to do my taxes as well. Fun times it is over here. I am starting to get a headache.

Hope all is well with everyone!!!

Random stuff

2009-02-08T17:47:43Z

Been a few weeks that I have updated. Hope all is well for everyone.

Past 2 Supernatural's I have really enjoyed. Sad that it is on break again. We just got it back! And who's idea was it to bring back Reaper? Man that makes me mad!!!

Going to start looking for a teaching job back in the districts again. Sad with the economy. They say education is a field that is hiring...reason is they are laying off a lot of the teachers they have now and hiring people from the corporate world!! UH! My friend found out she is losing her teaching job this year. Nothing is safe.

Saw Twilight for the second time last night. Went to the dollar movies. It was pretty crowded. Interesting seeing it after reading the book and reading the 2 other books after it. We shall see what the second movie looks like.

Sorry!

2009-01-16T02:25:13Z

I am here...really! Just don't get on daily like I used to. I try to at least once a week now.

Nothing like being head butted and slapped by one of your kids at school today...fun stuff! Think is it was a 3 year old too!!! CRAZY!

Supernatural in 30 minutes...WAHOO!!!

*runs out*

X-mas and a ?

2008-12-27T03:12:08Z

First off: Christmas-
It was pretty good overall. Weather was nice (no white x-mas), family came by, and I got some good gifts. Family got a Wii system (that was fun playing together), I got Dark Knight, and some money. My sister's gift made me laugh! She bought a blue/black heart shaped pillow and sewed on a pic of Jensen in the middle! She put it on an iron on. Too funny! I will try to take a pic of it. The other side is just the pillow so she said when my bf comes over I can flip it around so he doesn't see Jensen...LOL! But I will always be able to sleep with him....

Now for the question....maybe I am over reacting but I would like opinions!

My bf and I celebrated (sorta) our 1 year anniversary on the 18th (well, I worked until 9 pm that night). He was making a big deal about X-mas this year how it would be our first one together since he was out of town last year. He came over on X-mas Eve...and I have not seen him since. I knew X-mas he was going to be with his family. I could not join them because they have real x-mas trees and I am allergic, which he knows. He was going to stop by my house later. I get a call from him saying they were still at his families house and did not know when they would be leaving (he couldn't leave because he has no car) and he might not be able to come over. Ok...whatever. He calls me around 8:30 and says he was not coming over. He was going to stay home. Now, should I get mad over that? I think what I am most disappointed about is he made such a big deal about our first x-mas and I did not see him!!!! I don't think he realized how I feel. I have not told him either. He called me today asked how my day was and that's it. I might not be able to see him until Sunday either. His presents are still sitting under my tree.... thing too is next year he might be out of town and so might I. Our first x-mas together might not be for a couple more years.....hmmmm

Christmas and MTV???

2008-12-21T16:28:25Z

ok, so last night was my family x-mas party. Almost at the beginning of the party my cousin told us MTV will be stopping by. Our first reaction was to laugh. Then the question of WHY? Guess one of my cousin's sorority sister's applied for tthe show Engaged and Underaged and they were stopping by...which meant so was MTV.

About 6:45 they showed up! Crazy seeing camera people walking around....so I took some pics:

Guess my cousin has a part in the show so she was on camera a lot. Just say crazy.

Crazy Kitties

2008-12-21T16:24:03Z

Been awhile but I have some funny videos of my cats from this morning! Enjoy them!

Black Friday

2008-11-29T18:16:45Z

Did everyone survive it? Did you go out into the madness? What did you get?

We usually skip it or go out later in the day. But this year we spotted a few things.

My mom and I got up at 4 am (uh!) and headed to Sam's Club. They had advertised a Wii bundle with extra controllers, nunchucks, and 2 games. All for about $150 cheaper than if you were to buy them separately. So, we got there and they were letting us stand inside the store (weather wasn't too cold). They gave us a ticket for the bundle so we were excited. They let us in at 5am and we had to pay for it first. So, we did and I walked around the store with the while we got some food for the house. That is my sister and I's gift. Cool we got it. I didn't think we would.

Throughout the day we went to Sears, JCPenny, Kohls, Borders, and Michaels. Kohls was CRAZY! Stood in the checkout line for 30 minutes and this was around 10am.

But X-mas shopping is underway. Now to figure out what to get the familia. :D

Noooo next Thursday!

2008-11-01T18:48:24Z

We get another new epsiode on Supernatural but instead I will have a football game on here! When does the CW air football games and when do they play on Thursday nights!?!? I am so mad! I am hoping I can check out the show on the WGN station...still give it ratings. That means those in my area and surrounding won't have SPN to watch so ratings will be affected. CRAP!

2nd Job

2008-10-17T01:34:10Z

I have been looking for a 2nd job for a couple of months now. I really like my job where I am at but the salary sucks for what I want to do in the near future. You know, like buying a house, etc.

So, I have been looking at tutoring positions. Applied for this company, met them, went to orientation and thought it was really cool. Turns out it was too far North and I would be spending too much time driving than anything. Pay was about double what I am making now. So, I found a job posted on Craigslist. Applied Saturday. Got a call on Monday. Interviewed Tuesday and was hired yesterday. Yikes!

My boss at my job now was not too happy. I think she is afraid she will lose me so she was kinda nicely saying I could not take the job. Talked to her today and she is going to try to work a schedule out so I can do that job. I think she was just freaked. So, I will be making more than double my hourly salary now. Granted I will only be working a few hours a week....but still!

Yay! Now, off to prepare fo Supernatural!

Update #?

2008-10-07T00:22:12Z

Ok, um...brrrrr! I hate when it gets colder outside because I just stay cold. I am so cold blooded it isn't funny! I live in layers from Sept-May!

Completed the Race for the Cure yesterday. I was 1 of about 65,000! No pics this time. My sister joined me. Couldn't get a team going so it was just the 2 of us. It took us a little over an hour to walk the 3+ miles and it took us the same amount of time to get down there on the lightrail! Crazy!

Parentals are coming back from my cousin's wedding in MI today. Guess the cousins are headed out here for their honeymoon in the mountains. Supposed to drop by tonight but they are running behind so probably won't.

Went bowling on Sat and did pretty good.

Supernatural is full to AWESOMENESS this season!

Yayness!

Update (and pic!)

2008-09-13T18:42:40Z

Quick update....

B-day has come and gone. Nothing special. Another year down the drain. I was kinda grumpy that weekend so I didn't feel like celebrating anything. I did get the SPN DVDs and the Bone Key book from my parents and sister.

Weather is changing and that means I will spend now through April cold! I hate being cold blooded!

Going to the Santana concert tonight with my bf, our friends, and his nephew. I think I will enjoy it. I like Santana but he is not my first choice for music. I just hope I don't freeze because then it won't be fun.

Here is a pic of me and my cousins from my sister's last show. I didn't want any pics taken so I was forced into this one....

I never post pics so I thought I would change it up a bit.

Update

2008-08-30T20:16:07Z

Haven't updated in awhile so thought I would for those who do read this....

I am done with my weekend job. That was interesting. I worked my last weekend but decided to keep my key in case they needed me for anything else. I get a call in the middle of the week from my boss there asking for my help. Now, he never calls anyone and I didn't think he knew my name! I said I could help train a new girl part of that coming Sunday. He asked if I knew payroll and I said no. Now, I get in there and the girl said I am supposed to train her on something I don't know about. She is the weekday girl and they wanted me to train her on payroll. I never had to do that on the weekends and I told them that! Neither one of us could get ahold of the boss's so I finally called the former weekday receptionist. She was nice enough to come in and train. She left a nice little message on the boss's phone about him wasting my time beind there. I ended up staying and working the rest of the day. OH and I find out from the other receptionist that I couldn't get my last pay check until I turned in my key. They never told me that! I left the key and asked for my pay check. Got it the other day and today got a $25 gift card for PF Chang's. Nice surprise.

Went in Wednesday for my clogged oil gland on my eye again. The Dr. wanted to cut it to drain it but she couldn't see a good spot because it was too swollen. So, she gave me the shots in my eyelids again! OUCH! This time she did the inside and the outside. I have a nice bump that is orange/white from the place she inserted the needle and a bruise on my bottom eyelid! Looks like I got in a fight! Sucky!

Had orientation today for a 2nd job I am taking up. It's tutoring. We are basically freelance contract workers but get paid really well. I am excited!

Labor day is Monday. Only have plans to meet with a teacher from my former district. She is only in her 2nd year and hates it there. Nect weekend I meet with another teacher from there.

Tuesday SPN is released to DVD. Say it with me.....YAY!!!

Stupid people

2008-08-17T15:34:39Z

So, was finally sleeping last night. Nice and sound....when at 2:30 exactly, the doorbell rings! I start freaking out. Last time we had such an early morning wake-up it was a notification that my cousin had died. All that early morning stuff with the door and phone calls freak me out. I really started thinking about my sister.... anyways....

3 of us go running downstairs. We get there, and no one is at the door! We sit and watch outside for awhile. Nothing. We go to the back and see a bright light on the block behind us in the corner. I go running upstairs but can't see anything. 2 go outside to check the cars...make sure nothing has happened. I look out my bedroom side window and see 2 cop cars sitting on the street, only parking lights on talking. Someone must have called them.

Probably some stupid kid doing Door Bell Ditching in the middle of the night! I worry because we have a lot of retired folk in the neighborhood. Don't want them having any heart attacks! If it happens again, I will see if a pattern emerges. If so, I will sit out there, tie some fishing string to the tree and pull it when that punk goes running across the yard! Tie him up in it and hand him over to the cops!

*stomps off*

Crap!

2008-08-16T17:01:28Z

That's what I feel like.....CRAP!

What is the saying.... "feed a fever, starve a cold." Is that it?

What if you have a fever and a cold?

One of my little ones was gone for 2 days then came back to school with a runny nose and a cough (and of course kept coughing on me!). I have a soar throat, small cough, some aches, and I am sure a fever. I also didn't sleep well last night either. Never fails I work this weekend too. But my last weekend for my weekend job! Yay! (drama let me tell you!)

Thing is I am hungry...I've got the muchies!

Weather probably isn't helping either. Went from mid-90s to low-70s to upper 50s.... all in 3 days! It has been raining for the past 2 days. So gloomy.

Now off to check my flist. I feel so far behind!

What do you know!

2008-08-04T03:08:07Z

I am finally caught up with the rest of the world! Just got back from seeing Dark Knight.....awesome!!!!

Was not expecting a lot of stuff in there. Difinately kept me guessing and wanting more. Way better than Batman Begins. Phew..never thought I would see it without being spoiled! Yay!

*slinks off to bed*

Damn Kidneys!

2008-07-26T17:36:52Z

So yesterday about 7am I was laying in bed thinking about how I have to get up for work when I had this pain in my side/back. I thought "uh oh, please don't let it be what it feels like." So, I got up and it hit me.... intense pain on my left back all the way to my front...KIDNEY STONES! Crap!

I had them 4 years ago and was in the hospital for the pain. This time I didn't want to go in. I started drinking water and was just pacing. It is so hard to get comfortable. I turned really pale and then began throwing up from the pain. Sucky thing is you need liquids to try to flush it out but it is hard when you can't keep any down! After I would throw up it was like the pain stopped. If I felt pain I knew I would throw up. So, I went through time when I had no pain. About 10:15 it got really bad. I gave in and my mom decided to call my Dr. Luckily she works in the Urgent Care in the same building so we were going there. I threw up one last time (lovely huh?) got in the car and left. I got to the parking lot and felt fine. I sat there for awhile and then told my mom to just go home because I felt fine. Got home, kept drinking liquids and was able to keep them down so I ate and kept that down.

Sitting here at work and am pretty much fine. Still drinking a ton (why don't they make smaller port-o-potties?!) and little pain. Very odd. Sucks though.

Got through the afternoon watching Third Watch and Supernatural. hehe

2008-07-15T23:15:16Z

I know I promised you all awhile ago I would post a pic of my bfs new kitten...well...finally got one! Right now, they call him Squeaky Bear (named by his 3 year old niece) but are looking for another name. He is so playful and yes, he squeaks all the time!

Update

2008-07-05T17:52:13Z

Happy belated 4th of July! How was everyone's day?
We had a bar-b-q with my grandfather. That evening I went to my boyfriends and we went to his brothers. They had fireworks and we were able to see a couple of the big shows in the surrounding neighborhoods from where we were. Was in the 90s during the day but it made it nice in the evening.

At my weekend job (boo!). Only 2 more weekends after this. Making the same amount that I started making over 5 years ago isn't worth it now. But I am leaving at 12:30 tomorrow to go to the baseball game! My aunt got tickets 5 rows behind the visitors dugout from her boss so I am going! Will be on tv too when they show the batters. All you CO people I will wave to you!

My bf got a new kitten and I was playing with it last night. His niece named him Squeaky Bear. He is a long hair gray cat. He is about 9 weeks. So cute! So playful too! He was running and about a foot away from me decided to jump and stick to me! He landed about where my shoulder is. Was so funny! I have a picture on my phone of him, will try to upload it soon.

I'm here!

2008-06-26T20:49:49Z

I am, really, I am! I have just been so busy I haven't been able to check my flist to see what is up with you all!

I started my new job last Wednesday, was a bridesmaid in a wedding on Saturday, back to work, and I have another wedding to attend to tonight! I am currently sitting here with my hair up in curlers. No, I am not going to supply a picture of that! I will try to post some from the weddings.

I am hoping to play catch up on my flist this weekend with my bf being out of town. Maybe I will just lock myself in the computer room and get it done! Hope all is well with everyone!

Sevendust & pics!

2008-06-17T22:39:43Z

Last night was awesome!!! Yes, I have seen Sevendust before in concert but it is such a different experience when you are with a band that is playing that night!

We got there about 5 (doors were at 7). The tech and sound guys were still setting up so we waited and put together my sister's drum set. While waiting we had Clint, Vinny, John, and LJ come up to us at different times to say hi and thank the girls for coming out. They just said thank you to them for letting them play! LJ ended up coming over to me, gave me a big hug and recognized me. He called me beautiful and I told him to stop it. lol. He said if we needed anything to just ask.

Got to sit through their sound check and that was entertaining. Mini concert but also they were messing around with stuff so it was a lot of fun. No pictures of that because the camera was packed with the merch :(
After sound check my sister's band was rushed through theirs because they were running behind. The girls went on around 7:30 and got a great response from the crowd. Better than the other opening band. I packed up the merch and headed out there to watch Sevendust. Great show!

After we went to the parking lot with the gear and just waited. We let the other fans get to the guys first. All guys said bye before they took off. We were able to talk to Morgan for about 45 minutes. He was saying the girls did great. Guess all the guys were watching them when they were playing and were blown away by their performance. Bus call was at 1 but they left about 1:45. Great night and it was fun hanging out with everyone.
Now for some pics! I didn't get a lot because of the situation with everything....but here is some!

To introduce:
Blurry pics of the guys but L-R: John, Clint, Vinny, LJ, Morgan
