Takes the cake

Friday, I went around looking for a place to cut my hair. I couldn't find the first place, and the second had a wait. Since I had to pick up Brad from work, I decided to try this new place by my house. I was nervous when I was in there b/c the lady didn't take me to the back to wash my hair. She cut my hair dry. I was freaking out. It didn't turn out too bad. I think I might cut two more inches in the back. Pictures to come soon. My mother-in-law ended up not coming to our place. We spent the rest of the evening hanging out.

Saturday, I had work from 10-2pm. When Brad came to get me, we checked out 2 apartments. The first one was nice. Had a big leasing office/clubhouse. We checked an apartment that had a lot of space, and storage/closet space. And the price was reasonable. But, to our dismay we made "too much" money. Then the next one we saw was really nice, but it costs more. I'm torn. I like the last one we saw, but I want to be able to take the extra money that we will have and put towards paying stuff off. After apt hunting, we played frisbee and football in the park. Later that night we watched the UFC fights. INSANE! We ate too much on Saturday. But it was a good day.


Sunday was interesting. We practiced for the Primary Program on the 13th of September. Then we had a meeting with the Stake leaders. I only got to sleep for 3 hours before I had to go to work at 10pm. We had to do the new floor set. We didn't have enough people and we were suppose to get out at 3am, but we didn't get out until 5:30.

CRAZY CRAZY!

WOW!

My work called me and said that they needed me to come in at 11. So, I went in and stayed until 5-5:30. We went to the Darnell's for dinner and Temple Prep Classes. All I can say is WOW!

What I like about ot is that there are two other women who are taking them too. What is reallt great is that we know there family. The women are sisters and Brad's family and their family have known each other for over thirty years. Anyway, we went over some things, and I already knew about them, but it was nice to have other people there discussing things. I also had some light shed on me about questions I had.

I'm on call tomorrow from 10-7pm. I want the hours but my mother-in-law is suppose to be coming, and I want to get my haircut as well. I will write more tomorrow!

Time changes

Hey there! The reason for my title is because what I am writing about happened on tuesday and Wednesday, but I'm writing it 1am Thursday. LOL. Well, Tuesday I Had a Primary Presidency meeting at 10am. It went well. Then I went Apartment hunting. I thought it would go well, but then I became discouraqged. I don't want/need anything fancy. The first two places I went to look at were nice and had a good amount of space at a decent price. The problem with them is that in order to get into them, you need to make a certain amount to live there. Brad and I make "too much" to live there. We aren't on the bottom of the barrel, but we aren't rolling in the money either. And what gets me is that other apartments check your credit score to get in. So there is another barrier that blocks us. My credit isn't so good b/c of my school loans. I am all for helping people who need it and try to better themselves, but i'm upset that there are people cheating the system, and get to live in a nicer place. Yes that might be jealousy or envy, but why should I get stuck in a cruddy place and pay for others to be able to pick their own customized colors on their walls? I'm stuck in the middle. I pressed on in the day and found two places that were decent. Both were townhome layouts. I still have more hunting to do. I hope I can find something soon.

After walking around in the heat andpicking Brad up from work, I took a nap and Brad went to Scouts. I was asleep for maybe 15 minutes when all I hear is a loud siren outside. I pop up and look out my window. Its 2 firetrucks, an ambulence, and a cop car right in front of my window. I'm still half asleep mind you, and I'm thinking my place is on fire. I have a Cami and boxer shorts on, so I rush to get dressed, grab all the cash we have in the house, my VonZipper Debutantes, and my purse. It turns out that the people in the apartment above and behind me decided to BBQ on there patio, which is a big NO NO. They put it out in time. Not too much damage.

Wednesday, nothing major. I didn't have work, so I bummed aroud the house until Brad came home. We went to the outlets and we each got a new pair of running shoes to work out in. They were 40% off! I am horrible at making decisions and out of 6 pairs, I made a choice. when I was gathering the shoes that I didn't want, brad points out a pair I didn't try on. WHAT WAS HE THINKING? So then I was there contemplating between 2 pairs. I chose the pair he said I didn't try, and now I'm regretting them. LOL> I blame it all on him. After the 10 minutes storm that rolled into town we went for a walk. I didn't like the way the sneakers felt, and I had a tiff. We cut our walk short due to the lightning still being close to us. I will try the sneaks out a little longer, Hopefuly my paycheck is good, because I might have to get the pair I chose first.


Tomorrow , or shall I say today, If I don't have to go in for my oncall, I am going to get my hair cut. Nothing too drastic, just some layers and thinning out. I will write more later!

I'm a survivor!

Haven't written in awhile. I am glad to say that I survived Tax-Free Weekend. I worked the Friday and Saturday. I worked 7am-4pm on Friday. It didn't start to get bust until 1pm. I was working with the denim my whole shift. Sometimes I get frustrated with it b/c there are some people out there who have no manners and think they can throw things around. And I think that some people don't think before they speak. That has happened to me a couple of times, I'll admit it. But to ask me what size comes after 7/8 is ridiculous. LOL. I must say that when I am working in the denim is always a mess, but it wasn't that bad. It's been WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY worse. For some reason, the last hour of my shift took forever to end. Once I got out, I went to support a friend at his Eagle Scout Court thing.

Saturday, I had work from 8-1. I got to be on register. I like working in other parts of the store, but the register is my favorite. I like to help people out with sales, and see where they are from. One time there were customers that lived in the town right next to mine up in Jersey! I don't know if anybody else would think that was cool, but I thought it was. Back to Saturday, It went by fast. And then my mother-in-law satyed with us that night. After working in the San Antonio temple, she will drive to our place and stay the night.

Sunday, was kinda hectic. We only had one class that had their teachers so we had to scramble to find subs. We made it out ok. We are practicing for our Primary Program September 13th.

I will write more tomorrow!

People these days!

I had an interesting day at work. I work at Aeropostale in the outlets In San Marcos. My days are usually interesting there. What gets me is how people complain about things that aren't even their's yet. Sorry I dont have any more large hoodies or 7/8 Long jeans in the store. Or the best one which has happened to me plenty of times, but I got to see it when I was on the other side of the register. When I came intowork to buy some items, there were about 4 women at the register next to me (for some reason even though one person is paying, some people feel the need to have a family runion at the register. But that's another story for another blog post). Anyway, the cashier rang up there items, and told them the total. Pretty standard, nothing out of the ordinary. They handed him the cash and he gave them the change back. He didn't rush or pull a fast one on them. After the whole transaction is over, THEN do they feel the need to say that he overcharged them. He didn't, but they want to return some items. What gets me about the whole thing is Why didn't they say anything when he told them the total? They wait till everything is done. I CAN'T STAND THAT!!!!! That really drives me NUTS!!! Anyhoo, work is work, and I like the people I work with. Have a good Night!

Today was a blaaaaaah day. At least I had the day off. I was actually trying to get things done today. I went to the convenience store by me to get a money order b/c I didn't feel like paying 4 bucks at my bank, to find out that they don't do money orders anymore. The other gas station across the street does them, but I didn't feel like getting hit. So on my way back to my place, I stopped in the Education Station store. It's a store where teachers or anyone else can pick up supplies (stickers, boards, project ideas, etc). I saw some things that I could use for Primary. Then I walked back to my place to make some calls. That's about it. lol. Tomorrow I should be able to write something more interesting.

Back on track

I gave up on this blog last year and I am going to try to get get back on track again.


So many things are going on right now and I have to get my act together. I end up putting things off and start falling behind. I have a calling in church. I am the 2nd Counselor in the Primary Presidency in San Marcos and we have a lot of things planned. Now matter how much I wish I can be organized, it's not in the cards for me. Plus, we want to move out of the apartments we are in now, budgeting finances, trying to keep the place clean, its never ending. I know it's apart of growing up, but I wish i was able to plan my days better.

I'm going to keep this one short. It is getting late.
