Oh What A Monday

So much for the updating daily idea. Believe it or not, I actually had a busy weekend.

Saturday we woke up late, like 11ish. It was great! Jason mowed the lawn and I cleaned the kitchen and vacuumed downstairs. Went to El Camino for lunch. I was kind of disappointed, my food there is normally really good, but it lacked a lot that day. After lunch we headed over to Lowes to get supplies to make a toss game for ourselves and one for my grandpa. I'd just like to thank Lowes for having the wrong parts in the wrong section. We managed to pick up 4 of the wrong pieces. And of course Jason threw the receipt. So we now have 4 plumbing elbows we will probably never need. But on the positive side, I finally convinced Jason to look at paint colors. :-D I'm going to paint the bedroom next to the green bathroom, and we decided on a light green color called "Lettuce Alone." Pretty cute, huh? Jason has decided not to sell the house, at least I'm pretty sure that's what he's decided. And I'm glad. I love this house, it's gorgeous, and I know he loves it. Anyways, back to Saturday. After we left Lowes, we decided to go to the horse races. I didn't do too bad, but of course Jason won most of the races. LoL. As always, it was a good time.

Sunday I wanted to go to the zoo, but it rained. :( Booooo rain! We went to lunch at J Alexanders. I absolutely love that place. I could eat spinach con queso dip EVERY day! Then we decided we wanted to go to Paint Your Masterpiece. Drive out there, yeah, they are definitely closed on Sunday. Booo to that also!! So now we have a project for next weekend! Yay! So we didn't really do a lot of anything yesterday afternoon. Then last night we met my sisters and my dad at Olive Garden. That was a good time. Allison's stories are pretty entertaining. Haha. Then it was home and bed EARLY. Too bad I couldn't fall asleep. I think I finally dozed off at about 2. Then I don't know if Molly made a noise or what but I heard something and it woke me up again. From there on it was like trying to win an uphill battle on ice. I woke up about every 30 min. Needless to say I'm tired now.

I had an interview this morning @ 8 am at Toledo Express Airport for National Car Rental. Yeah, talk about mis-advertising. The ad said it was a full time position. WRONG! It was only 24 hours a week, ALL weekends, and it only paid $8 an hour. I don't think so. I was really disappointed. So I guess it's back to searching. I would really like to find a new job.

Well, I think that's enough for now, I'm hungry and I need to switch the laundry over. Until next time my lovlies...

Day Number One

Well, I officially have a "grown up" blog now. Nothing against my beloved Myspace, but the blog there comes off to me as a bit juvenile. I'm hoping to blog almost daily, although I'm pretty sure it won't be daily, but I want to blog as much as possible because I really think it's a good way to help clear my mind.

The job situation is looking up, finally. I had an interview with Owens for a clerk/receptionist position on Wednesday morning. The job sounds fun and the hours are great. They offered me the position but I don't think I'm going to be able to take it because it's only a contract position through the second week of October. I need something permanent. I have another job interview Mondy at National Car Rental at Toledo Express Airport for a service agent positon. I'm really hoping that this pans out. Please keep me in your prayers, I really need to get away from Speedco!

I've finally chosen my major. 100% serious this time. I plan on majoring in Network Administration. I will basically be doing similar to what Jason does, but more focused on just networking computers. I know it's not going to be easy, and I want to say thank you to everyone who has reminded me of that about 1,000 times now. I'm done taking the easy way out of things, I've really grown up and I know what I want in life now. This whole going back to school situation and such has really taken an emotional toll on me, and it's not just the stress of figuring out how I'm going to pay for it or the level of difficulty I'm facing. It's the fact that no one believes I can do it. I know I've disappointed people in the past, but that was then and this is now. I want to make everyone, and myself, proud. But the lack of support really does hurt. The people who I thought had the most faith in me now seem to have the least. Maybe I'm asking or looking for too much. Perhaps I'm too co-dependent on others. I don't know.

I have this weekend off!! Woohoo!! I really want to go to the zoo! So hopefully we're going to the zoo tomorrow. I can't wait to see the baby polar bears!! Then tomorrow night we are going over to Mike and Liz's for margarita's. Yum!! Sunday I plan on sleeping in. We're talking like 11am. Haha. Then Sunday night I'm hoping to go to the horse races. Yay! Such an exciting weekend planned, yay!!

Well, I should think about cleaning around the house a little before I get ready for work, so until next time my lovlies....
