Work, Holidays, and Work.

Hello! First of all, Happy New Year!! Can you believe it's 2013? I sure cant i'll have to get used ro writing that on my papers!
You probably hate me for the amount of slacking I've done these past couple weeks? Goodness if has been a long time however we all know how hectic it gets during this time of the year.   So many things have happened we've had about 5 get together a for my family and koltons family (Christmas) that's not even in with thanksgiving. We had wonderful holidays. I also got another job! I still work for the mayor and at the furniture store but I am also now an employee of the temporary ice rink we have in our downtown. And I seriously love it, it has got to be the easiest and greatest job ever. Right now we're just dead there's not a soul around.
I start school again on Friday. Which I'm not dreading but I'm really not sure how I feel about it. My LAST semester if high school. That's just weird to think about. I'm growing up and it's not going by slow at all. Here's some pictures from the last two weekish

A Packed Weekend

     Don't let the title of this fool you, this weekend was no where near as packed as last weekend when I did the Light UP thing however; it was still full to the brim! I haven't been getting very many hours these past couple weeks, so I talked to my employer about it and she said that it was because the manager (her daughter) didn't know how long I would be working for the City yada yada yada. Which is totally understandable. Anywho, so Friday I worked a couple hours and then headed home for a little bit before going to a new Bible study group on the last Friday of every month. We learned about Saul and can I just say that it was the most enjoyable thing I have done in a long time? I absolutely loved it and learned more about Saul than I ever have. But getting back on track, I had asked to call my boss that night to talk about the hours situation so I did. And the reply ^^ was the one I got. She then told me to come in Saturday. So I worked from 10-5:30 thankfully!! It was great, I mean don't you feel like a full day of work getting things done is completely successful and productive?! I was happy all day. PLUS I had a jesus hangover from the Bible study and I couldn't stop thinking about it and also thinking about how blessed I had been all day. 
     So after we both got off work Saturday I hit up the boyfriends house and we watched Courageous, now I didn't get to finish because I had to be home before 11, but boy was the parts I saw good! *SPOILER ALERT* when the little girl died I was like WHAT?!?!? NO!! She was so cute and that hair, that gorgeous hair!! Oh man it was so sad. **Spoiler is over now** anyways we watched that and cuddled up because I hadn't seen the cutie bear in a couple days! Then I went home and snuggled up in my bed because it'd been a very long day. So Sunday el padre woke up wayyyy late and we ended up going to the service and not sunday school which was chill with me because lets be honest ladies, who doesn't like getting an extra hour to get ready. Am I right? Then I camped out at church all day, no exaggeration there, I literally got there at 10:55 am and didn't leave until 7ish tonight. So needless to say I'm pretty busted. But it's okay because I love staying busy all the time. 

Bobby & Big Juicy <3

     But as if working all day Saturday wasn't awesome enough, guess what the mess I did? Bobby and Big Juicy from Lizard Lick Towing was in the neighbor hood for toys for tots and the marines signing autographs and what not. So, I'm pretty much famous now. Oh em gee, they were both hilarious and I couldn't believe that they were in our town! I got about 7 signed autographs to hand out. One of which will be part of my broski's Christmas presents because he loves that show. 
     For some strange reason I'm really not looking forward to school tomorrow, oh actually I know why. ITS BORING. Especially economics to make it worse the teacher has some kind of personal vendetta against me in his defense I always read in there.. But in my defense I've passed everything in there but one test that everyone else bombed and I made a 60 something. So haha. Take that son. Well, I'm gonna go to bed now, hopefully I'll get to work tomorrow which will mean I'll be needing some serious coffee and energy drinks! 
                    .Dueces. 

Gus & Relaxation

     I feel so relaxed! Sitting in bed blogging after a nice hot shower, putting on my Minnie Mouse jammies, and drinking the holiday classic tradition in this house, sparkling cranberry juice. Thank you Welchs, you're a genius and complete my jolly Christmas mood. That was not the case today however. First of all I was supposed to work for the second day in a row and I got sent home because they didn't have anything for me to do and that irritated me because I NEED A SCHEDULE!! Come on now. I need money, this whole only two days a week is seriously barely enough to give me gas money. Secondly I went to the Dollar General to get some stocking stuffers. Yeah, they had absolutely nothing to get for people. Or maybe I'm just older and pickier but I mean really. Get some cool stuff that parents would love too. It don't all have to be plastic junk. And thirdly people on the road are really rude. 

 
     After I finished my shopping extravaganza I headed home and I was okay, relaxed. I am working on a new stocking because my other one which is still cute but it's a little babyish. My new pattern is completely genius. We all know.. well actually I'm not sure that you do or not but I love and I'm talking love owls and mustaches. So it would make sense to do nothing but make an owl stocking!! Ehmm. Check it out. The upclose of the owl is just to show you (though I'm not sure you can see it, sorry it's out of focus) the painstaking stitching that I did around every owl. Yes, it did take forever. But who has a more awesome stocking? Nobody champ. That's who. *I can do a tutorial on the next blog if you'd like.*
     I know what you're probably thinking.. Gus? Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I have FOUND the perfect name for my little beta fish. Gus it is. My inspiration you may ask? Well, as usual I was extremely hyper and I was thinking of Cinderella and I thought Gus, he was such a good guy and it's really a respectable name. So after a long discussion with Kolton (Who might I add preferred the name Tony) we agreed to that name since we are his parents! Proud ones too. He's just so adorable. He doesn't eat very much though and sometimes I think he doesn't like me because I don't feed him enough but that's because I put it in there and he lets it sink! But anyways. He's still a healthy little guy. 
    Brownie Pound Cake= Delicious. I felt festive 'cause who doesn't get tired of box cake? I will do a separate post on the recipe I used and how I modified it. Because BAM. It's tasty. And I made it all from scratch. I am on a conquest to start really cooking and not just getting everything out of the box. I'm sure my future husband will appreciate that. (:  I would also like to say that I'm pretty dadgum excited that 25 days of Christmas is about to start on ABCFamily! It's got to be one of my all time favorite countdowns. I got a candle for my birthday *sugar cookies I believe* my room smells heavenly. It's like a bakery in my room mhmm mhmm mhmm. 
     Okay I'm going to bed-but I'll be back soon! Don't get crazy. 
                                           

Victory Dance :D

     Oh yes I am SO doing the victory dance!!! Well see I had a puppy named Cooper about.... 2 - 3 months ago, yes had :( And I came home one day to his precious little self been kidnapped, boy was I mad. I was so upset and you can only do one thing to help out that hurt.
    Get another puppy! Lol. However my mom was not so keen on the idea and for a long time I have wanted and inside pet, now I was never really to fresh on the whole cat thing but then Kolton (my boyfriend) got a kitty and she's just too sweet!! She's so cuddly and fun. But that got shot down just as quick as the inside puppy. So what do I do you ask? Well I didn't get a hamster because I've been there done that and let me just say I will never ever go there again. You won't get any sleep at all. 

     Anyhow! I got a fish! I mean what more of a compromise can you get? Really now, it's inside. Not really that messy. He's a cutie bear! and I only had to buy one thing of 3 dollar food that will last me all year. I'm officially a mom. BUT I'm having a little trouble coming up with a name for him.. and I'm absolutely drawing a blank.. (so if you have any suggestions hit me up.) But for now Fishy will do. 

Today was my first day back at school after Thanksgiving break. Wow. It completely sucked. Getting up at 6:40? No thank you! But it was an okay day, I didn't realize how much I missed my people in the office that I work with. Jane is always soo sweet to me and spoils me wayyy to much. But hey, who's arguing? My mom made Girtle Buster the other day for thanksgiving dinner with her family and OMG. Let me just tell you it was amazing. I want to do a baking tutorial or something like that, I think it would be fun! Let me know what you think on that too. Well, I'm off to curl my hair for tomorrow and hopefully (but not likely) sleep like a baby!! Until tomorrow, Stay classy San Diego. 

Successful Christmas?

     Yes, you read that correctly. Christmas. I have been in the Christmas spirit for weeks now which for some people might be a little early; however, I for one could have it all year long because it makes me feel jolly. When mom was out one day this little girl took the initiative to go ahead and decorate that mess before she got home (might I add I did a wonderful job). I have been working for the city lately because my boss is the mayor so she just moves me to where ever she needs things done. So I'm like a personal assistant/city employee/furniture store employee/personal shopper.. whatever you need done, hit me up. I know how to get things done! Like I was saying, I have been working for the city for our Light Up (insert town here) as a manager of it and a coordinator pretty much. 
     When the time came for the parade line up I helped line them up, I confirmed vendors, I made sure all the equipment was working properly, I hung up thousands of posters, I mean I pretty much moved a couple mountains for this thing to work out. And enjoyed almost every minute of it because I love being in charge of things such as this and watching everything all fall into place. The only thing I didn't enjoy was freezing my butt off in 30 degree weather and printing pictures of kids with Santa. Other than that it was a blast. 
     Now I'm not really sure what I will do since it's over. Our town decided to bring in an Ice Rink for people to enjoy and hopefully I'll be working there from now on. If not then I will have to start looking and *crossing my fingers* I can find a job waitressing because OMG I would looooveeee to do that. It would involve people and tips and that's what I am talking about! haha
     Today I spent absolutely all day at church getting ready for our Christmas play which will obviously be in December but you gotta start early so that you can get some practice in. It went really well although sometimes we went off on subjects just chewin the fat. Anywho we got into an extremely deep conversation at the end of practice about the world and what is excepted these days and honestly it's amazing the things that people think are okay. And most of it is the Christians fault because we've let it  happen and not said anything. 
     The people in my grade and well every generation is getting worse. And it just makes me wonder how long will we be here? How long will all the terrible things going  on happen? The world is such a corrupted place and before I actually opened my eyes to all the chaos, I couldn't wait to have a kid and be married and what not. Now though? Do I really want to bring a child into this place? I can't imagine by the time the kindergartners get into high school will be faced with. I know at my high school smoking pot, partying, turning gay and raising cane is just the popular things that people do. So when they get into school will it turn into meth, coke, pills.. how far will it go? 
     If anybody wants to see a change in the world they have to start making it happen and not just wishing it would. Pray about it and take action. This goes for me too because I know I stand by and watch a lot of things that I know are wrong happen when I should stand up for what I believe in. I know this is deep but the world is just so terrible now with war and  hatred like I've never seen. And we teach little kids to love and yada yada and yet the people that they look up to don't live by example and we wonder why kids are doing the things they are and getting into trouble. 
     But anyways I have been very blessed with a job, clothes, a house, a car to drive, a conscious mind, a family, soap, water, electricity. Things that we really just don't think about to be blessings and gifts but every little hair on your head is a gift. I'm starting out my week with a new perspective and outlook on things. We've got to turn this place around and I plan on trouping out and leading that march (: 
     I've been on Thanksgiving break this week and tomorrow I have to go back to school (again another blessing) But I have really enjoyed not going to school and I was hoping to keep it that way. Lol but it's back to the grind tomorrow. Although I do have to admit that I do like being on a schedule gives me something to go by. In just a couple weeks I will be out for Christmas break and after that college, job, and high school everyday?!? I am so excited that life is moving forward! 
     Alright, time to take a shower but I'll be sure to blog this week!!! Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving and a blessed week! <3

Slacking.

Okayyyyyyyyyyy. I know I know. It's been probably over a week since I wrote, however my life took an eventful turn, of course. 

Last week we had apply to college day at school which in itself is a task because you have to do everything specifically how the school wants you to do it. I applied to two so hopefully I will hear back from them soon. I am planning on duel enrolling next semester which would be amazing because it would get some of my core classes out of the way and cost me virtually nothing. So I figured I might as well take advantage of it. Also my literature teacher assigned us an essay on a zombie apocalypse. It's about what we would do if one ever happened and let me just tell you that's harder than it sounds. I pretty much just took everything that I have learned from the walking dead and put it into my life scenario. 

I switched jobs. I still work for the same person, but she is the Mayor so I've been working for the city for our Christmas program/parade this year. I've got to double check people's work and make sure that they did things correctly because they apparently don't listen. It's insane but I do love it. It's not like the furniture store when you have to wait for someone to come in, I'm constantly go go go. And I love it! Fingers crossed that everything will come out the way we want it to!

I've been absolutely ADDICTED to caffine. I mean I can't stop! Monsters, Coffee, or anything with the word caffine in it. I've been so exhausted the past two weeks and it's really the only thing that has kept me going. There is no such thing as sleep any more. 

That's pretty much all I can think of right now. Counting down until Black Friday Shopping!! It's my favorite thing everrrr!           Happy Trails everyone!

Eventful Day

  Do you want a piece of advise? Whenever you think you're not going to have a fun-filled day, think again. Usually my days are boring but no, not today. 
     First of all, I found out who our  president was and that people on Facebook are extremely rude and inappropriate. Let me just say that I can't vote yet, however, everyone is going to have their opinion on everything. That is the joy of America, we're allowed to have our opinion. Don't bash other people's thought's just because you don't agree with them. Also if you don't vote then why are you freaking out?! You probably didn't even follow their campaigns and you're more than likely only repeating what your parents think. And if you were a voter and your candidate didn't win, obviously you're going to be upset, that's understandable. But even after don't let you're pride get in the way. You should be praying for our country. The key word being OUR country. It's so sad that politics and religion can do such a fantastic job at completely separating people. We need to put aside differences especially now that what's done is done and come together, pray for OUR leader, and be glad that we live in a place that we can have an opinion and we can have our own thoughts and not forced into thinking others. I think that's all for that topic..
     Second on the list? I got pulled over at school, which wasn't a big deal cause I was almost late and I was feeling like "Hey, YOLO" and it's not like I got in trouble. He just said "You know why I pulled you over?" "yeah, I went through a do not enter spot." "Well, atleast you're honest with me. Don't do it again okay?" "Okay!" See? No harm no foul.. it's just the fact of getting pulled over by a cop that just put a damper on my day.
     Third. I got freakin wrote up. Not a big deal either because I never get into trouble (except for today that is). Wanna know what for? Saying the word freak. Now if you know me  the word freak is in my everyday vocabulary. I mean, it's probably said between 20-30 times a day at least  The word is just genius and fits pretty much every situation. But hey. Ain't no thang, That's my first write up and I'm a senior.. I think that's pretty good. 
     Fourth. It's just rainy and junky outside. 
     On the bright side I didn't have to work today AND It's Kolton's birthday! So we'll be having dinner later at his house. Chocolate Chicken? It sounds pretty disgusting and it's really a let down because apparently it doesn't even have anything chocolate in it. So it better be good! Cause I looovvvveee to eat.
