The test continued...

I got 100% on my test! Yay!

I went to lunch today with my mom, sister, aunt, cousin and grand parents. It was pretty fun.
My cousin is starting a business making hair bands for infants. I think it could be profitable for her! Hopefully it works out. Maybe I will post something later.

I want to start selling stuff I make too. I would have to get better at it in order to make it profitable, but that's ok. I think I could make a good amount of money. We shall see. Today I have cleaning to do, you know, it never ends. Cleaning just goes on and on.

I wonder, how does one set themselves apart when creating a business? Why would someone want my item over someone elses and vice versa. I have been doing a lot of thinking about photography recently, why would someone want me to take pictures of them when they could have someone else do it? I guess it's a process, putting yourself out there, marketing, making yourself known. Creating a name so to speak. Hmm... thoughts to ponder. I have been doing that a lot. Really looking at what I want to do. And moving forward in doing it. It is one thing to want to do something and totally another to actually do it. I am learning.

Just for those of you keeping track, I have been doing really well completing tasks I have started, I am feeling much more accomplished and very proud.

I also jogged a whole lap yesterday, I know that sounds so small, but that is a victory for me! I wanted to quit, I wanted to stop and walk, but I didn't! I pushed through and finished the lap! I was so excited I wanted to jump up and down, but was so tired. I am improving! YAY! And, my endurance is improving too. It is so exciting when you realize that your work isn't for nothing!

I just hope with selling things and photography, that comes sooner than later. I guess I am scared to go forward because I don't want to fail, I don't want to run and run and have nothing to show for it.

Hmm.. updates

It has been a while as Justin has pointed out. I have been busy. I have to relearn it feels like how to do all the things I have been doing till now, cooking, cleaning, etc. When you are a stay at home wife for 6 months, you get accustomed to a certain type of day, a routine if you will. But throwing in a curve ball, (ie. a job) throws off the whole balance of things. I am learning better how to balance back, but it might take a little while.

So, new job, I really like it, my boss is very friendly, he cracks me up, he will give me a task and then come and talk to me when I am trying to do it. So, I talk to him, and then I start doing the task again and he wants to continue talking. I guess that's good though, it means he likes talking to me. It's cause I'm awesome! :) And, it will teach me to be a better multitasker! :)

So, I do things like, put notices up in the building, file papers, organize stacks of papers, input data into spread sheets, I am pretty good at it too! There have been several times where he gave me something to do and I came back with it completed and he said, "wow, that was speedy" I was very proud of myself! So, he is teaching me more stuff and giving me more things to do, which I like, I don't like just sitting around twirling my thumbs. Not for me.

School... I graduate, or am supposed to graduate in the summer for my associates, it only took 4 years... :( ick. And I applied to SDSU and Cal State San Marcos. I got a letter, yesterday, from SDSU saying, "no thank you, we don't have room for you" Which has left me slightly discouraged considering when i applied last year I got in. Oh well, I guess I am not supposed to go there, I think maybe God doesn't want me there. You think He does that? Closes doors where you aren't supposed to be? I think He does.

So, anyway, it is up to San Marcos. Otherwise I will either, not go to school, or, I will have to end up going to a school like National, it's not that it's a bad school, it's just that I didn't wanna go there. So, we shall see. The sucky thing about colleges now, with the budget cuts and everything, they only accept fall transfers, so, you have to wait a WHOLE YEAR before you can apply again. Lame. I don't wanna wait another year. National is so expensive though. Hmm... We shall see.

So, I start work today at noon. I kinda dislike starting late, stupid morning class. Though, the semester is over soon, yay! And then I can start earlier. I must go get ready now.

Have a marvelous day!

I got the Job!

Remember yesterday how I said I didn't think I was going to get that job, well, I did! They called me this morning and told me I got it! Yay! That's super exciting! I've never been picked for a job that there is only one position available! It's kinda a neat feeling! So, tomorrow I have to go fill out paperwork and then I start learning stuff. I am very excited, should be a fun experience! I have to buy clothes. Lame, that's the annoying part, the lady said she would email me the dress code so I know what to wear. We shall see.

Anyway, I have a test tomorrow I am SUPPOSED to be studying for, I should do that.

Side note: Veggie soup = yummy dinner!

Running and tummy...

Today I ran a mile and a half, a half way through the year kind of thing and did it in 17:53! 3 minutes faster than last time! YAY! I am so excited and I don't even feel terrible like I did the first time. It was difficult but I jogged pretty much the whole time, and I found that when I was jogging consistently it was easier to do finish because I didn't feel like I was gonna die! I actually feel good today! I think maybe I could like exercise... shocking, I know!

I have not heard anything from the job, so, it seems that it is a no for that job. That's OK, I am sure I will find something. I look forward to what God has in store for me in that area!

Anyway, I have been feeling kinda, icky the last few days, kinda nauseous and such, I am not sure why and thinking it might be a good idea to go to the Dr. I really hate going to the Dr. but I guess if they can help me feel better, that would be good. :)

Weekend Overview

Weekend:

This weekend has been the busiest I have had in a long time! On Saturday we went to Mission trails and walked around for a while, I twisted my ankle a zillion times, but it's OK. We then taught Sunday school, came home and I made super yummy Carne Asada Fries and we played Wii boxing, which is super fun! Though I think I pulled something in my arms cause they HURT! Anyway, fun day!

Then on Sunday we went to church and then went to the Organ Pavilion and listened to some guy play a really big organ. It was very enjoyable, for me, Brad got really bored. :) We then went over to the Zoo to see some animals, we went in the humming bird aviary and also walked through the reptile section. We then went to WalMart and the grocery store to get some stuff. Then we came home and ate Pizza and watched 11:14, that's kind of a weird creepy movie! I had some WEIRD dreams last night, pretty sure it's because of that.

Monday:

Today is looking up to be an exciting day, I am working on my scrapbook and think I am going to make some aprons to sell. I want to improve them but can't quite figure out exactly how to do it. I'm sure I will figure it out! I am waiting today on a call for a possible job. They said they will call today, so, we shall see. :)

So many projects I want to do, but I am getting better at finishing what I start, I am beginning to have discipline in that area, finish the one thing before going on to the next. It is almost painful how much I don't wanna do that, but I will win! Anyway, off to do those things I need to do!

Thoughts and stuff

So, it is already Tuesday afternoon and I haven't blogged in several days. I have thought of many topics of possible bloggage, including, but not limited to, the fact that we as a people are compulsive multitaskers, and that I think it is to a fault. That I dislike looking for a job, that my days have kinda been odd recently, busy but not, long but go way too fast. I'm not exactly sure, but I do know that in spite of having thoughts swirl around in my head all day every day I can't really think of anything that I would like to write about today. So, this is my blog! :)

Maybe tomorrow I shall elaborate on one or more of these topics, or maybe another, like that I finished my scrapbook! YAY! Well, I finished with all the pictures I had printed. Scrap booking is a funny thing, unless you have a designated stop point, it just keeps going and going and going, cause as long as life continues, so does the scrapbook.

I want to do a wedding scrapbook, with pictures only of the wedding, my favorite ones. I will have to go through all 900 and pick like 80 of my favorites. should be interesting. I also want to work on that frame. I bought paint! I'm kinda excited to work on it and see how it turns out. Maybe I'll post before and after pictures, we will see!

Anyway, off to make dinner!

Life

So I go to class today, all is normal. I actually make it to class on time today and had a moderately good time. I get in my car to leave, I turn the key and.... nothing, I turn the key again... nothing. SHOOT! My car didn't start. I called AAA and they came to save me. Well, jump start my car. Apparently it was my battery, almost completely dead, it is supposed to have 12, something, volts maybe, and it had 2. I guess that's not enough to run a car on... I dunno. So the man jump starts my car and tells me, "Don't turn it off!"

So, I made my way ALL the way around the city, I got all turned around and stuff, distracted by my car not working properly and made a lovely circle. When I FINALLY got to Wal Mart they said it would take 45 minutes to replace the battery. Well, that's kind of a long time to take one out and put another one in, but oh well. So, I walked and walked and walked around Wal Mart. An hour and a half later, I got to leave. Golly, I was STARVING! I was thoroughly annoyed at the length of time it took to put the battery in. They LIE, but I guess, it's Wal Mart, what do you expect?

Anyway, I bought some things we need/wanted, so I guess that's OK. Still annoyed though.

I got home and ate! Took a shower, cause I got very icky in P.E. today and now it's 2. Got almost literally nothing done around the house today and Brad's gonna be home soon. Though such is life, sometimes it sucks more than others! ;)

Though, being Thankful in the midst of a nuisance helps, ya know, thankful that I have a car that needs a new battery, I mean, lots of people don't even have cars to complain about, so, I guess it's OK! :)

Sore

Not like deathly sore, but like I can tell I worked out sore. That's the kind you're supposed to be, it means you worked out the appropriate amount. My thighs and calves mostly sore (probably from running and jumping and such).

So, the dishes problem did not get fixed yesterday, I ran an empty load of cleaner through, thought, this will help! Right? Wrong... it's as if nothing changed, they came out just as icky dirty as when I put them in. So so so sad! Eh, oh well, guess that means a little extra elbow grease!

I think today is going to be a good day! I decided! My sister is coming over to cook tonight, I don't know what to do, but it's gonna be yummy... cause I said so! I do have to say, I think I'm a pretty fantastic cook! I will have to be slightly creative considering we need to go shopping REALLY bad!

I have much happy in my heart today! God is so good! He is so faithful even when we aren't, gosh we suck sometimes, but God is always there and always pulls us through! I love that!

Looking for a job is kinda lame. Though I feel good when I am doing it, like I am doing something. It's good, I like it!

End :)

Dishes Dishes Dishes

Today I went to class again! We played tag. Ha ha, like elementary school kids! It was rather enjoyable. We also did a variety of other activities, like running, jumping, hopping and skipping. We also talked about the amount of sugar and salt that are in items and she had the amounts in little baggies. Some of the stuff has SO MUCH salt! Eww! You know when people say, wow, that has a lot of salt, or a lot of sugar, you say, ya, but really, what does it mean? What does THAT look like? Well, today we got to see what it looks like and eww!

I also found out today that to loose one pound I will have to work out for 10 class periods while also maintaining or lessening my caloric intake. I feel very defeated! Considering, I wanna loose like 15 by summer. I feel as though that goal is out of reach... so sad! Should I keep on keeping on, or give up? I haven't decided yet. Maybe lengthen the goal, give myself longer to accomplish it? I don't know, but what I do know is if I decide to do it, it's gonna take forever! Especially if I keep eating ice cream, which is really what I want to eat! Or maybe a candy bar, maybe cookies? Yep! All of the above.

Anyway, today I have a sink full of dishes and finally my dishwasher seems to be working. Yay! I have a love hate relationship with that dishwasher, it sorta saves me time. Cause in reality, I think it eats up more time, the dishes come out dirty, I have to rewash them, while all the while, other dishes are stacking up. They come out dirty again and I have too many dirty dishes to keep in the sink anymore, so I take out the "clean" dishes and put them on the counter and wash the dirty ones. They come out "clean" so I put the "clean" ones back in and rewash them... and again, dirty dishes stack up! Sheesh! Oh well, least I have dishes, right?

Well, off to face the pile!

Tears that don't come...

Today has been a pretty good day so far! It's monday, there is a lot I need to accomplish! But that's ok. All I can think about today is my sister. I have been praying constantly. I love that kid and don't know what to do. I wish I could just fix it all. But I can't. It's lame. That's what's on my mind today.

I also have to edit pictures of the shoot that we did yesterday. It was a maternity shoot and she was very cute with her pregnant belly! Anyway, off to do dishes, and several other to-do's today!
