It’s snowing outside, and I’m on my lunch break doing some cleaning up on here. I deleted quite a few posts just because I don’t like them anymore.

My work now can be nerve wrecking. I get all tense when I’m helping a customer and I’m not sure exactly how to help them. And when I say that I mean how to change the codes and things in the computer system. So by the time the store closes, I’m pretty tense and just need to relax.

I’m very very determined to work on my writing skills and find a writing gig to help supplement my income. I’m not money hungry, I just have a huge amount of debt to pay off. I’ve also FINALLY decided that I want to be an accountant so I also need to save up for tutition.

That’s Super Bowl Sunday at Freddie’s Casino in Fife. I’ve been memorizing a bunch of acronyms for training(I’m going to be working for Comcast for awhile. Weee!) and I thought I’d throw a few into my post.

So here I am spending the above mentioned event at the above mentioned place. I’m a little tired because we just ate and my tummy is full from the yummy food here. It actually wasn’t too crowded and pretty relaxing. The guys drank $1 draft Coors light and I had a few jello shots. And since it was Sunday, we played free pool! Well I didn’t play… but everyone else did. We also got raffle tickets for being there to win things, but we didn’t win. Overall I enjoyed myself even though I don’t like football that much.

It’s fun to go out and have free fun and cheap good food(and drinks!). I look forward to finding more places to hang out like Freddie’s.

That’s why I love her.

I totally love the song “Miss Independent” by Ne-Yo.  It’s almost the epitome of what I’m striving to be.  Add something about being an awesome mom in the lyrics somewhere and it’d be perfect.

I haven’t written in quite some time and you’re all due for an update.

I GOT A POSITION AT USPS!

It’s only for the holiday season but it’s something.  I’m supposedly starting this week.  Unfortunately I thought I was going to start last week and quit my job already.  So I’m unemployed for a whole week.  But I’m excited that all my hard work is almost paying off.  It’d be a whole lot better if the darn economy wasn’t down so that I’d be pretty sure I can extend my contract.

I swear that I say this all the time, but I have been working on the layout and I’m pretty stuck.  So it might be awhile, but since I have the week off I should be really productive.

Well I’m off to pick up the kids!

I haven’t written in awhile.  I’ve got a new temp job that I’ve been busy at, as well as household chores and such.

I’ve started off with an assignment at a warehouse in Sumner.  I hate to say it, but I really couldn’t do the job.  They expected me to unload trailers full of dinner table sets.  So there was a whole table and 4 chairs in a box, dissasembled of course, but still impossibly heavy.  I’m just not that buff.

So I was sent to a different warehouse in Sumner and the job is easy peasy for me.  I just finished my second week and I’m already training and taking charge. I am a little bossy, but there needs to be some leadership and I wouldn’t ask someone to do something I wouldn’t do.  But I don’t want to stay there because the pay isn’t that great.  Luckily I met a woman there who’s a supervisor at this other place I applied for, and she’s all for helping me get a position there so wish me luck!

I’m trying to stay positive and relax and get all my ducks in a row.  I need to run some errands and see some friends and cook dinner for my lovely bf.  Toodles!

I found a cute site about food today.  Bentō is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine.  I always love ordering a bento when I’m eating out at a Japanese restaurant because it usually has a little bit of everything so I don’t have to choose just one thing.  These bento lunches are a little different, but uber cute.

I should show myself some food love and try to make bento lunches for myself(and maybe if they’re good, for my family).

Today we celebrated my nephew’s third birthday.  And yes, I forgot my camera.

He is SO adorable.  I believe I say that about every little kid I meet.  He loves Thomas the Tank Engine, so I bought the new movie that came out this week called The Great Discovery.  Now, as you all know, I’m on a budget and I tried to get the best price I could.  I was tempted to drive to different stores to find the best price, but with gas prices the way they are it didn’t make any sense.  I just searched online at the different stores I planned to go to and tried to find the prices that way.  It really doesn’t work, at least not around here.  The best price I found was at FYE.  I went there and it was more expensive than the online price.  I ended up going to Target, intending to look for something else, and the DVD was actually cheaper there(and the product I was looking for was more expensive than it was online).  So fortunately I got a good price, but I learned that online prices DO NOT match store prices.  At least sometimes.

The kids had tons of fun.  They had so much fun, they already cleared their calendars for Ethan’s fourth birthday.  Man, I love my kids.

This is a short film that my good friend Adrianna created for her film class. I love it!

I finally have a website again! But now that I have two jobs, I won’t have a lot of time to do things with it. But it will be nice to have a place to vent and such and experiment with again.

Many thanks to Harkey for hosting my site for me!
