Just a quick update. I'll post about Christmas later, but I've been sick since Saturday so I haven't been doing much but sleeping, blowing my nose, wiping my watery eyes and not having an appetite! It's annoying and I can't wait to feel better!

We almost have all the presents underneath :) Just a few more to go and we'll be done :)

Since I'm off today, I'll do a post. I'll probably blab about a lot of different stuff so I'm sorry lol.
Let's see... I have to go get another Christmas present for Josh today.
I wish it was as nice as it has been the past 2 days but looks like the cold is back.
It got up to 70 degrees! I loved it!
At least I got to enjoy a little bit of it though.
Anyway, back to the present. I don't want to say what cuz I don't know if he might read this.
I still have to do some last minute shopping also. Not much, but a couple things on Christmas Eve, so hopefully I can get Ross not to schedule me the whole day so I'm actually able to.
I did most of my shopping in stores, and a few things online. So I'm hoping those will get here in time. They should, because they have already been shipped.
We both made Christmas lists, but I'm not just getting him stuff on his list because then he'll know everything he's getting and surprises are always fun :)
So I hope he likes everything he didn't ask for. lol

I don't know if I already said this in another post but we're not having the "traditional" dinner for Christmas. Julia doesn't want turkey again so we're going to do steak. Hopefully Filet Mignon :) Along with that baked potatoes and I don't know what else. It's really just way too much food for only 3 of us and that's why we're sticking to steak. It was different for Thanksgiving because there were 3 extra people. Cassie (Josh's sister) & her boyfriend and Josh's Grandpa (Julia's dad). He was too funny :) When I first met him he said he couldn't hear me well cuz he's deaf and he needed new batteries for his hearing aid. (which he wasn't lying about) haha

I was doing this survey yesterday about Christmas... and one of the questions was "What was your favorite gift received as a child?" I had to call my mom for that one lol. She said either my lite brite or my "My Kid Sister" doll. And then she told me all these different stories about when I was little. I asked her if they ever told us that their was a Santa Clause, because I don't remember ever believing in him and I've told Josh that I don't want to tell our kids there is one. My mom said I believed in Santa til I was 4. Because that's how old I was when we first went to church and she said I wasn't very happy. haha I love hearing stories about when I was little. They make me laugh. Me and Michael went with my Grandma one year to California and Caleb was still really little so he stayed home with my Mom and Caleb went in my room and brought one of my socks to my Mom and said, "Mommy, sissy's sock." haha hard to believe he use to be such a nice little brother. Now he's evil! lol. I know she told me more stories than that but I can't remember them all.
I asked her to send me any home videos she could find, cuz I can sit and watch those all day. :) Plus all of them have my Grandma in them and I miss her. She was the best Grandma ever. She always knew how to keep a smile on your face.

Well looks like I've blabbed enough. I'll probably end up writing more later. Gotta go grocery shopping when Josh gets home. Probably go to Target to get some Christmas cards to send out too. I got one so far. From Stephy and Alvin. It's a picture of them and it's so pretty :) I should just tell Josh all I want is a card for Christmas and I'll be happy cuz I looooovvve getting cards. lol I'd be happy if I didn't get anything cuz I'm sure there are plenty of people in this world who are getting exactly that. And they are probably the most appreciative people you would ever meet. Here I go blabbing again.
Really though I've had a lot of Christmases where I didn't get anything but it didn't matter to me, because that's not what Christmas is about. I'm just happy to be around people that I love. This is mine and Josh's first Christmas together. I mean we were together last year but we didn't spend the holiday with each other. But I'm going to have a very good Christmas this year although I miss my family, I'm definately going to have a very Happy Holiday.
and I hope the same for all of you
Ok, I promise I'm done now. lol

Here is the nice big tree they put up in the galleria. Just thought I'd share it :)
It's a little crooked but oh well. The galleria is 4 floors the first floor is the ice skating rink. That's where they put the tree.

Well I don't really feel like posting and I haven't felt like it lately either. But I suppose I will just for a quick update.
Been working of course and that's why I haven't posted much lately. It's just been so busy so by the time I get home I'm too tired to do anything.
I'm actually going to bed right after this. It's already almost 10 and I wanted to be sleeping already but oh well.
Gotta open in the morning so have to be up bright and early.
It's finally starting to get cold here (unfortunately), which Josh is happy about but I could have summer all year long and be satisfied. :P lol. I just can't stand to be cold. brrrrrrrr.
We got the tree up as you can see in the picture... I'll take more later and just make a nice pretty slideshow. Got a few presents under the tree so far, not much but there will be more within 2 weeks. It will be overflowing and Josh will want to rip his open already.
I wanted to talk about something that happened at work today. It was rude but funny at the same time. Some grouchy guy came through one of the other lines, a lady named Jackie was the cashier at the time. She speaks english, but not very good. Anyway, he was returning something without a receipt, so he was getting store credit. Well she didn't tell him that although that was his problem, he should have read the receipt and known he wouldn't get cash without a receipt. DUH. So he got mad and we called the manager up front. Well she is hispanic. So Nancy starts speaking to Jackie in spanish and the guy says ENGLISH! ENGLISH PLEASE. THIS IS AMERICA.
He ended up just taking the store credit after all the complaining and after he had said he would just go home and get the receipt. So obviously he was going to spend it anyway so what's the difference. lol
Just thought that was funny although I felt bad for Jackie. But then again, he's right.

This is Kelly and the choir at her church. Just thought I'd share cuz I thought they did an awesome job :)

AAAHHHH

The sound in my head. SCREAMING!!!
(and I'm not talking about the screaming kids, that's me screaming!)
Any young person that hasn't worked yet, don't EVER work retail.
At least not at Ross. lol
you are in for your worst nightmare if you do.
lol
Today was the craziest day.
We were soooooooooo busy.
And it's only going to get worse as we get closer to Christmas.
My oh my did I want to whoop some kids today.
Reminder to self:
When I have kids, they are not going to be spoiled little brats and get everything they want, because once I say no they will throw a fit and I'll have to whoop em.

PUPPIES AGAIN

Ok, I want opinions. Or just yours Naya. lol. I'm pretty sure your the only one that reads this.
Although I really want a husky, I'm sticking to a small puppy that will be easier to take care of.
Here are my 5 choices. Which one would you pick?

PUPPY & some other stuff... lol

We have been doing some Christmas shopping and Josh says he is going to get me everything on my list. One of those things is a puppy. I know he may not be able to get me one but if not, well I'll live, and if so, then I will be soooo happy!!! :)
I really want a husky, the ones I've been looking at really aren't that bad of a price. Right now they have some for 300 each!!! :D And they will be ready by Christmas so it's perfect. I want a girl, and they have one with the name I already want which is Princess. She's gorgeous.
They have 2 boys too that are sooo pretty. One is Polar Bear and the other is Blizzard and they are both white with blue eyes. Such gorgeous dogs!
I still have a lot of shopping to do for Josh, and I think he's just about got mine finished lol.
I'm kinda waiting til Black Friday cuz he's getting a Wii. So I figure maybe they will be a little cheaper if I wait. But then again I don't want them all to be sold out. Which I doubt it. There are plenty of places to get them from. So we'll see.
Me and Claudia are going to the galleria on Tuesday cuz it's my day off and I need Josh not to be there so he doesn't end up accidentally seeing one of his gifts, if I'm able to find any. Hopefully Claudia will bring her son Christopher, he's the cutest! I'll have to take some pictures of him. ANYWAY
This trip will only be for clothes though, unless I can find something else. I need to go to Pacsun and get him another hoodie, cuz they have nice ones there. Also he needs more jeans cuz he tore up his good ones. So I'll probably go to Aeropostale for those since they are so cheap. I guess I could always check at work too. He also needs some long sleeves cuz all he has are t-shirts & dress shirts. Which is fine, but he needs something more casual that will actually keep him warm.
It hasn't quite started to get cold but it will be sooner or later.
For Thanksgiving, Julia is going to cook. I'm going to make mine and Josh's deviled eggs though because he doesn't like relish in them and neither do I. And she told us to do dessert also. So I think we're gonna go with cheesecake and maybe I can find a recipe online for something else. Cassie & her boyfriend are going to be here as well. We might not be moving from Texas so soon after all. Julia isn't ready for us to quite yet. lol
Which is fine with me, cuz that means both her kids will be far away from her and she's not ready for that. So I definately understand. She said she likes coming home knowing that she's not going to be alone. That someone is going to be there. We still have to think of what to get her for Christmas. She likes anything, and that's the hardest thing to shop for! lol
We are running out of ideas!
lol
anyway I said more than planned, I was just going to talk about puppy :) but i can never shutup I guess. Well this chair is killing my back and I've been sitting here for too long so I'm gonna go!
Bye!
have a good night

Josh and I both got the whole weekend off together. It sure was nice. Although we stayed in the whole time other than our trip to walmart, it was very enjoyable. He hadn't been off since 2 Sundays ago so it was definately nice for him. It would have been the same for me, but I ended up getting Halloween off.
Anyway I just wanted to share with you our night tonight. We had a date. :)
We didn't go anywhere, just stayed home but we had a nice dinner at home. Lemon Pepper Chicken & Rice. Played some love songs and actually ate at the table. It was very nice :D
Not much more to say but just thought I'd share.
Goodnight

I run to you

K so I'm going a little post crazy today
But just thought I would put this song up cuz I like it a lot :)

Ahhhh. I love this weather. It's November and it's been about 70 and higher the whole week. Definately doesn't make me miss Reno. lol.
Here is my list of things that I do miss about Reno
Family
Friends
& I know where everything is
lol
Things I don't like about Texas
Bugs
Stupid people (especially the millions that can't speak English)
Crazy drivers & people honking all the time for no reason!
And there's not much in walking distance from the house
I miss being able to go for walks and actually ending up somewhere fun or enjoyable.
But oh well :)
And next year we will be in Oregon. Or Washington. I don't know yet.
It all depends on work.
Just found out one of my relatives own two houses in Oregon, so if somehow, someway they are still up for grabs, well Josh and I will have a choice of a one or two bedroom.
:) YAY.
Just thought I would post something with a nicer mood towards it because that last post was not towards any good. I've just been thinking a lot and had to get it out. Josh was at work so I couldn't talk to him about for the millionth time. lol. Those feelings just come back every so often and it hurts to keep them inside.

How could someone try to take away the one you love?
How could someone believe everyone over you, even if they had never heard your side of the story?
How could someone say that you expect people to buy you things?
ESPECIALLY once you had the money, you did something nice for all those people that did so much for you.
And not only because you just wanted to be nice and pay them back for what they had done, but because you felt like if you didn't, they would always feel that way about you.
WHY do people think they know so much about people when really they know nothing?
WHY do people JUDGE you when they say you shouldn't judge?
That's what I would call a hypocrite.

hyp⋅o⋅crite

1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.
2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

So I ended up getting the day off... I was normaLly scheduled 9:30-5:45 but then they said I could go at 1 since that's what time Josh got off & then they had to cut some hours for the weekend so they said I would have to leave at 1. I told them that I didn't want to go in for an hour and a half, that's just a waste and they agreed. So they called the 11 o clock person and had her come in at 9:30.
Kinda nice since I have been working since Sunday and wasn't supposed to be off again til next Saturday.
Josh and I were going to go to Six Flags for Fright Fest but I would rather do Something that's actually worth the money. He's not a big Fan of coasters and neither am I, so that would be somewhat of a waste.
We're just going to tidy up the house A bit and then probably off to the galleria we go and who knows what from There. We'll see.
Josh is a retard he's over here making it sound like he's ripping paper but yet he has my phone in his hand. I told him I'd like to see him try and rip a phone in half. lol
Just thought I would share that with you.
Anyway. I have some thoughts that I want to blog about but don't feel like posting it this second so I will do it later. Bye :)

I suppose I will post and give a little update.
We only had Sunday off this week. Just stayed home and relaxed all day, didn't want to go out and spend any money, just enjoy staying warm inside.
Monday-Thursday is our 40 percent discount so we have been buying a few things.
Haven't done too bad, and have only been getting things we actually need.
Bought a memory foam thing for the bed and also a mattress pad. Oh and some pillows.
For the kitchen got some spoons, because for some reason we have plenty of silverware other than spoons. They just seemed to have disappeared. I found some decorative dish towels with snowflakes on them that will match once we decorate for Christmas.
Josh got himself 2 hoodies, 2 thermal shirts, 1 tshirt and a black dress shirt for work. I think that's all for him. And I got some socks, a shirt, a sweater, a cute dress some new shampoo and chonies lol. It came out to about 150 altogether so far I think. We probably won't get anything else. I need to start buying him some cologne for stocking stuffers, but that can wait cuz jewelry and fragrance are always only 10% off even during double discount, so it wouldn't make a difference. He likes the curve crush & Guess man so I'm going to get him those. I've been waiting for a shipment of Euphoria by Calvin Klein, because he really wants that. But we don't get it much. And once we do, it's gone. I'm not sure what else to give him as stocking stuffers. I was thinking I could probably get a couple Nintendo DS games too, I'm sure they would fit. There is a watch I want to get him only 15 dollars and it's Kenneth Cole. Everytime he wears metal now, he's been getting rashes so we'll have to stick to the leather bands which is what this one has. Not a bad deal at all, and it's a nice watch. Who says you have to pay a crazy amount for a good watch?
Well anyway that's all I feel like posting right now, and I'll post more later.
O wait. My Mom & Dad got there anniversary gift from me yesterday and they really liked it. So I guess I did good :)
Now I just have to remember to get stupid stamps so I can finally send their card that I got a couple weeks ago.
Ok Goodnight :)
gotta work alllll day tomorrow.

Today is my last day off for the week and I'm going to have to spend it cleaning. blahhh. lol
The rain is back, so who knows how long it will be til we get some sunshine again. It didn't even last a week.
I know it's still early but I cannot wait til Christmas!!! We haven't bought decorations yet, but we have everything picked out. We're getting a white Christmas tree and our colors for decorations will be this really pretty blue and also silver. It's going to look so pretty!
Hopefully I'll be able to find dining room decor that will match the tree. Stuff like placemats, dishes, towels, that kind of stuff.
I love snowmen and penguins but I think snowflakes would be our best bet.
But then again if I find something that's just too cute not to get then I'll have to get it lol.
Oh, my Mom & Dad's 23rd Anniversary was on the 10th, I forgot to mention that. Their present is going to be late, but it's already been sent. I got it offline at Things Remembered. It is sooo pretty I think. It's a snowglobe with a heart and a key inside & plays Love me tender and for the personalization I put
Robert & Melissa
Happy Anniversary
10-12-09
I wanted to put more but it's really expensive to personalize
The globe itself was only 25 dollars but it all came out to 40 dollars which really wasn't too bad.
Here's a picture if you'd like to see :)

Well enough blabbing it's time to clean. I'm going to time myself and see how long it takes.
Have a good day :D

Here's some pictures. Not really anything enjoyable to look at. I should have taken more.

Here are some better ones that I found online
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/pt/slideshows/2008/10/pho_101908_fairlastday/?ssfeed=yes

I promise I'm still going to get those pictures up. Like I said, it's not much but hey I tried.
I worked from 9:30 am to almost 10:30 pm on Saturday and I am sooooo sore from standing for almost 13 hours. I know there are people that work that and more every day but like I have said before, my body isn't use to that so it was definately tiring for me. Especially dealing with these stupid customers. Seriously, I have never seen such pigs.
I should take pictures so ya'll can see how the store looks before we recover. I just wonder how these peoples houses look.
Today I worked from open to close, but that's my usual Sunday hours. Just 11-8. 8 is what time we close but tonight we got done recovering about 8:35. So I only worked 9 hours today.
Josh now makes more than me, lucky him lol. One of the Loss Prevention guys found another job, so they gave it to Josh. It's only 2 dollars more than before, but hey that's better than nothing. I have worked there for 2 years and i make a whole 39 cents more than what I did when I started. I really need to ask for a raise, but they are a cheap company so I'm not so sure that will happen.
As I was saying I will upload those pictures tomorrow probably. I had sent them to my email that I send all my pictures to, but Josh won't let me sign into that email because he has been christmas shopping online for me so I can't see my own mail. lol
So I will have to send them to another email and will get those put up.
Goodnight all. or just Janaya I think.
lol
I'm tired :P

finally :)

We finally went to the fair yesterday. It's been raining so much and yesterday was finally the perfect day to go. Josh was supposed to work but they told him to just go ahead and take it off because we are always going in for them when they need us.
I must say that I wasn't very impressed. The fair itself was probably better than any fair I have ever been to, but, the prices are ridiculous. You can't buy bracelets, so we didn't go on any rides. It's like 5 dollars per person each ride. So if we would have went on every ride just imagine how much that would cost. I was fine with walking around and just eating the yummy fair food. I took a few pictures, so I'll put those up asap. I would have some of us in them, but apparently the camera didn't want us in the pictures because every one that we took with us in it was blurry. lol.
Oh well. So I'll put those up when I get a chance.
I have to open today so I better get going and finish getting ready.
Goodbye :)

Not much to post about.
Just about to go to bed.
I'm really tired, have to open in the morning, but at least I get off early.
We are supposed to go to the fair, it all depends on the weather.
So hopefully it decides to cooperate.
We'll see.
There's a guy named Justin that we work with and he also moved here from Reno.
Small world, I know.
But he was telling me that he wasn't too impressed, but I will have to be the judge of that myself.
He said really the only thing that was good was the food.
Stupid thing here is that you can't buy bracelets, you just use stupid coupons.
I should get going. Have to wake up bright and early.
:)

FOOD

You all know (whoever is reading this) that I am a VERY picky eater. Well, since I've moved here pretty much the only real meal I have had is if we go to a restaurant or if we have chicken for dinner.
I'm getting tired of it! lol
So I'm asking a favor.
Can someone please get me Sis. Neumann's recipe for the roast she makes?
She uses pepper or something, I'm not sure. If not well thank you anyway.
But I would really appreciate it :)
Oh and also, Sis. Alma's mole' :D
yuuuummmmmmmmm my favorite!!!!
Lol. sorry.
Gotta go to work, have to open again.
:/

Here I am, alone. We are having a big storm and Josh is at work.
Why does the weather always do that to me?
Can't it decide to do it on a day that I'm not all by myself?
It's not very nice.
I tried to take some pictures with my phone but one it will end up soaked and two you can't really see it that well.
Well that's all I guess.
Bye for now

Haven't really felt like posting.
Or felt the need to.
lol.
Not much going on
Went home sick from work yesterday and stayed home today.
Idk exactly whats wrong
and I refuse to go to the doctor.
Maybe kidney stones, not sure cause it's more common in males.
And I think I would also be in a lot more pain.
But I am starting to feel better, I don't like having to laze around all day.
I think we're going to head up to walmart in a bit, it's been rainy for the past week and today it is pretty hot outside.
So I would like to enjoy it while it lasts.
Although from what I hear, Texas doesn't get much of a winter.
So we'll see.
Well I suppose that's it.
Have a good day
O yah the fair started today, but we have til October 18th to go :)
So I will try and get some pictures from that when we go. :)

Last night, one of my managers got a compliment from a customer that she was very nice.
Lisa, (my manager) said, "I just treat people the way I want to be treated."
And of course I have heard that plenty of times before but it really got me thinking.
There have been times that I haven't treated people the way I would expect them to treat me.
But
A lot of times if someone treats me a certain way, I do it back to them just because well obviously if they want to be rude to me then I have every right to be rude back.
That's just the way I am.
Anyway my point is, I'm going to try a lot harder to treat people the way I want to be treated.
I know a lot of people that could and should do the same

Rain rain go away come again another day.
Actually don't, cause your annoying!!!
Although it's better than the blazing heat :)
Not anything to update on really...
got a lot of hours last week, worked all day Saturday, Sunday, Monday
and then also yesterday.
So, happy about that.
That's all I guess

Fair

The fair is coming up on the 25th and it lasts til the 18th of October. So at least that gives plenty of time to go :) I can't wait. ONE. because I looooovvve fair food so I will definately be pigging out. lol. and TWO because it is going to be WAAAYYY better than the one in Reno. I use to like the one there but once they changed the company that did it, it was terrible. So anyway. I'm not exactly sure if you can buy bracelets from what I saw online... but I don't see why not.

Sounds like there are going to be lots of rides :)

The MIDWAY features 70+ attractions, including the overhead Texas SkyWay®, the 212-ft. Texas Star® Ferris wheel and a 1914 Dentzel carousel. Adrenaline rushes are guaranteed in the extreme ride Thrillway section. Definitely one of the Fair's most popular destinations.

http://www.bigtex.com/

I can't wait :)

No one else is posting so I guess I will
:)
Not much to update on...
I worked all day Sunday & Monday so I'm going to be loving my next check :)
They are supposed to be cutting the hours but I've actually been getting more
so can't complain there ;)
I also got my new phone. yay! love it. Josh is using it til Julia is able to get my sim card which will probably be her next day off... so no more paying over 100 dollars a month for my phone bill yaaayyy!
I guess that's all.

Elaina

I miss you so much my beautiful niece.
Your growing up so fast and I can't wait til I see you again
I Love you baby girl

Here are a couple pictures that I took on my phone... I know it's not much but I am bored outta my mind and it gave me something to do for a couple minutes lol... O MAN! I just remembered I was going to put this video up of the ducks chasing us but Josh's phone had to go and break. so O well :)
and that last picture is supposed to say everyday at the end of the sentence...

phones again...

so I have decided on the samsung vu. I think. lol
I found a good deal on ebay... only like 170 for it so I think that may be my choice.
It's new, never used and I was going for cheap. That's the cheapest deal I have found so far.
BUT the eternity has better reviews and the cheapest i found it for was 200 which is only 30 dollars more so I DON'T KNOW!!! lol
why oh why can't it be more simple
and the samsung impression doesn't have the greatest reviews, I think the same as the vu.
O and btw
me and Josh want a puppy
but the bad thing is sometimes we work at the same time and so we don't know if it would be such a good idea because we just had the carpets cleaned and we want to make sure that the puppy isn't going to make messes everywhere...
:(
we found this one
http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=14157020
and it says she HAS to sleep with someone at night so that would be perfect :) a puppy that likes to cuddle is the best :D
and there's more but i didn't bookmark the rest...

phones

Went to look at phones today
and i have no idea what to get!
I liked the samsung vu
and the samsung eternity
and also the sony ericsson c905, which has an 8.1 megapixel camera BUT it didn't work so I wasn't able to check it out. I happened to find a video that showed everything about the camera but nothing about the actual phone itself. But it has a user rating of 8.3/10
Sooooooo I am stuck. lol
Hopefully I can decide soon. lol
Suggestions would help :)

it's almost 5 am and I got on the computer cuz I couldn't fall back asleep and this def. helped cuz im tired again lol
anyway just wanted to post real quick
I'm going to get at&t and have no idea which phone to get! We're going to the at&t store tomorrow so hopefully there's something that catches my eye.
something of course with cam & vid but I don't want an iphone cuz i think they are stupid and everyone has one. Well not everyone, but lots of people do.
soooooo
we'll see
At least I don't have to worry about paying over 100 dollars for my phone bill every month now. Thanks to Julia :) stupid verizon.
But I will miss my Juke :(

Pictures of you

So today Josh and I are sitting outside in front of one of the business buildings...
He starts singing this song "Pictures of you"... although he hates that song but Julia listens to it sometimes so that's how he knows it.
I'm guessing he started singing it because I was taking pictures of us.
Anyway... he wasn't just singing it like any normal person would, he was singing it in a little squealy annoying voice. lol
Little did he know, there was a person sitting behind him. I don't know if it was the whole time, but it was sooooo hilarious. And by the time I decided I would record him singing, he had just realized that the person was there so he stopped.

Before I go...

to work I guess I'll post.
This weekend is tax-free weekend so it is going to be soooo busy! Especially because everyone is doing back to school shopping. Here they go back in August because they get out in May. So anyway... today we had some running around to do. Had to go to Ross to get Josh's check and then to Wells Fargo, Big Lots, and Subway. That was on that side of town. Then from there it was to the mall to get a couple games because we just got a DS. So Josh got Final Fantasy 3 and I got Yoshi's Island. Don't know that I will play it much but if not I can just return it :)
So from the mall it was home to relax until we have to leave for work around 4. We were going to go in early but really don't feel like it. Yes more money, but didn't get much sleep last night as it was super stormy outside and it usually keeps me up all night and I'm tossing and turning. So we will def. go in early tomorrow and Sunday too :)
Well I guess that's it for now.
Gonna go finish getting ready for work. yyaaaaaay. not.

Today is laundry day. It was starting to overflow a little too much so I decided it was about time.
The bugs here seem to like me a lot. Or the spiders. I'm not sure what. But I think I have like 10 bites. It is not fun at all. There's one on the back of my right arm and it is huge!!! And if they are mosquito bites... I'm allergic to them, so it gets really bad. Looks like I have huge welts everywhere. And now the 3 or however many I have on my left arm are starting to itch! Althought it is really hot and humid here, I wore a hoodie to walmart the other night cuz I don't want anymore of these stupid things eating me. lol
Well I'm going to find something to take up time til Josh gets off work.
Bye :)

Ok so Friday we had an early start on our day. Josh got home at 4 in the am and I went to sleep at 5 or so and he woke me up at 8... he didn't go to sleep at all. So we got ready went to Walmart and then to Ross because his direct deposit still hasn't gone through (or the manager he gave it to never put it through) Then we went and ate at Cyndi's, where we got our food fast just like before. I had just a side of hashbrowns and a side of bacon, didn't really eat too much cuz the bacon was actually too salty for me, surprise lol. As much as I love salt... and the hasbrowns- I only ate the top cuz they were crispy and the rest of them were too soft. But oh well. Josh had chicken fried steak with some hashbrowns and eggs. Then back to Ross for some shopping. We both got some work clothes, and Josh got some cologne that I'm not a big fan of. Eternity for men (Calvin Klein). I want him to get the GUESS but we haven't gotten any in so we'll have to wait. So from Ross it was off to the Galleria. I just wanted to look at Aeropostale but they didn't have anything that caught my eye, I guess that's a good thing cuz I didn't spend any money lol. Then we went across the street to eat at Paradise (bakery & cafe) for the first time. Well actually I didn't eat, cuz a sandwich didn't sound appetizing at the time. But it is a nice place. Josh had a salad and sandwich... cost like 15 bucks with a drink but he got a lot of food for the price. After that, we went to the mall down the street. I went to Sonic to get a mango limeade and then to Wetzel's Pretzel for a pepperoni pretzel. Then to see Funny People. By the time we got home it was almost 7 so we went to sleep, woke up at 10. Left for walmart sometime after 11 and got home at 1. I fell asleep, Josh didn't until 10 am then I woke him up at 1:30 because we had to start getting ready for work. We both closed last night... got home around sometime after 10 went to sleep after 1... well at least I did. Woke up at 8 this morning because I worked open to close (11-8:30) and Josh 11-6. So he hasn't had much sleep at all. He's off tomorrow and I get to sleep in because I don't work til 5. yay. And now I'm going to stop because I typed a whole boring story.

I hate these stupid overnights!!! lol
Josh was asked to work 3 of them this week... and yes of course it's more hours= more money but I CAN'T SLEEP!
The first night I fell asleep 2 hours before he got home... and he got home at 6
and this morning he got home at 7... i was only asleep for an hour before that...
but this is the last one and idk when he will be home. It depends on what time the guys that are doing the remodeling or whatever it is that they are doing get done.
I'm going to try and go to sleep here soon but who knows if that will happen.
We're both off tomorrow :)
Payday yay! lol
I told him that he can plan the day out since I'm always the one that does it. So we'll see what he plans... hopefully to go get some good grub lol

So today was my Grandmas memorial service and how badly I wish I could have been there. But money doesn't just fall out of the sky. They recorded it for me so hopefully it doesn't take to long for me to get it.
I was wanting to write something and they were going to read it for me but I just couldn't put into words everything I wanted to say. I guess it's partly because I'm still dealing with the fact that she's gone. It's just hard to believe that I now have no Grandma alive. :(
But like I said, I'm glad she's not suffering anymore.

Anyway...
From what I heard there were a lot of the family that got up and said something. My Dad sang "This world is not my home." I had a gut feeling he would end up singing. :)What he does best. Guess that's where I got it from. haha
i'm not the best... there are A LOT of people in this world that sing a million times better than me. But I do love it :D
My mom read what she wrote this morning, I know she didn't get up and say anything, I'm sure someone else read it for her, but she's like me when it comes to getting up in front of people.
Although I'm a lot less shy than I was before, I tell the people I work with I use to be shy and I wouldn't talk to anyone, and they find that impossible. lol.
well I am starting to blab about absolutely nothing but just for the sake of an update.

I miss you already Grandma
I'm sorry I wasn't there to see you before you left us
I'm happy that you don't have to suffer anymore
And so thankful that you got to see my Dad
Thank you for being strong, Grandma :)
I will always remember everything about you
and of course I will always remember my favorite story
When Caleb was a baby and he got in trouble and you got after him
And I put my little hands on my little hips and said with my little attitude
"He's just a baby you know!!!"
:D
And also
I'm always going to eat what I always wanted you to make me
refried beans and cheese w/ La Victoria mild red sauce
I love you so much Grandma and you will always be in my heart

January 2nd, 1944- July 29th 2009

I am so irritated with my aunt right now!!! She asked me if I was going to go up to Oregon to see my Grandma before she passes...
Well yes, of course I would if I didn't live a million miles away and I wasn't working and money was falling out of the sky.
The whole point of me going to Oregon last August, was to see my Grandma. I had the opportunity to go then, so I took it. (and thank God for Tara who made that possible!)
Besides, it was heartbreaking to see her the way she was and she's even in a worse condition now. I don't want to remember her that way. I don't want to have to see her suffer.
Don't want the waterworks to start so I'm done for now.
So my day today...
I can actually for once say I am exhausted. I worked from 10:40-8:30 today. (I know, nothing compared to what a lot of people work, but when your not use to it... it's tiring) Plus I was sick the whole day, which made it worse. Being dizzy the whole day didn't help either. I am ready for bed! O so ready. Those pillows are screaming for me. So I'm going to sleep now. :) Goodnite all!

soooo

the fam bam is moving back to Good ole Hermiston.
Somewhere I never plan living again.
There is nothing there.
Maybe Portland though :)
Because there's more than just a walmart and a cow there.

Just proves...

how stupid they are.
Today, I went to walmart, and they thought my id was fake, so they rejected my purchase.
Keep in mind, Josh and I go there almost every day.
My head was about to blow off. And I wanted to blow the stupid guys head off. lol
I'm not that violent though, and trust me I tried to be nice.
Apparently there was a bubble on my id so it was fake.
I told him I've had the same id for 4 years. I was 17. Now I'm 21.
I'm sorry IDIOT, but I'm sure you didn't look the same 4 years ago!
Some do, but not everyone.
If I wasn't white, he would have HAPPILY taken my purchase. Goodness gracious!!!
uuuuuuuuuggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
lol

The people in Texas

are stupid. Most of them at least. They don't know how to drive. And when they see people walking, it's like they've never seen anyone use their legs before. HELLO. that's what they are for. Maybe if you got your fat lazy butt up and walked around you could lose some weight! lol. I'm sorry but it's just so annoying! Most of them don't speak english, and when they ask if you speak spanish and you tell them no, they still talk to you in spanish! If you haven't noticed, I am white. So I'm not going to speak spanish, because I don't live in Mexico. I know that probably sounds horrible and racist, but I am not racist. Just annoyed. Ok I think I'm done. For now.

Just a quick update...
My Grandma (my Dad's momma) isn't doing well at all. Doctors say she may not make it through the week. Thank God for my Uncle Dennis & Aunt Wendy who drove all the way from Arizona to go get my Mom & Dad.
I'm really happy they get to see each other. I think that's whats kept my Grandma is the fact that she's been waiting to have the opportunity to see my Dad one last time.
But my Dad is having a very hard time with it, as well as my Mom considering that she lost her Mom just almost 2 years ago. I talked to him just a little while ago, he said that he had to go because he was going to start crying again.
:(
Well I don't know what more to say.
So until next time...
:)

Another day :)

Hello everyone... I don't think I've posted in a while so I suppose I'll do so.
Other than working, haven't really been up to much.
Putting up with this heat, of course. It's been over 100 all week so far...
which isn't all that fun with the humidity.
Now, Josh didn't like Reno but he does miss it now because of how much he can't stand the heat here. Once winter comes around though he won't be complaining anymore. lol. I read that it doesn't snow here much but it gets below freezing. So I know I'll be wanting summer back once that cold weather comes around.
We had a busy day today... sorda... lol
We have our 40% discount this week so went shopping today. First we went to walmart because my stupid card doesn't work at Ross so I got some cash out... and the little park we walk through has a pond. The ducks there really seem to like us. It's always the same ducks. They will be on the other side of the park and they see us walking through so they get in the water and start swimming towards us. Then they get out and follow us til we cross the street to walmart. It's the funniest thing ever. lol. I do have a video but Josh told me he's tried to send video to the computer from his phone before and it didn't work so I will try and see if I can get it to work.
So, we didn't do too bad at Ross. Instead of spending 120 we spent 70 so we saved 50 bucks :)
After that, we had to choose where we wanted to eat and there are a lot of choices all around Ross.
McD's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Burger King, Sonic, Arby's, Pizza Hut, Subway, Church's Chicken, Popeye's, ummmmmmmm KFC aaannnd... o Braum's (really good!!! kinda like Dairy Queen) and Sis. Cyndi's lol... no that's not what it's called but that's what Josh and I call it. It's actually just Cyndi's (Restaurant). They have really good food and excellent service. But we chose Subway because we wanted something that didn't have to be cooked so a sandwich was perfect :)
And then after that, back home it was. Josh had to go to work 2 hours later though. But at least it went by slow.
So now I'm here all alone :( and bored. Which is what I always am when he's not home. There is NOTHING TO DO!!! lol.
This is as good as it gets, and I hate staying on the computer for long cuz it's boring and I don't like sitting here forever. He won't be home for about 3 more hours. So I will probably sleep that way I will be wide awake when he gets home. Yaaay. lol
So that's the update of Sarah's life.

Happy Birthday to me :)

Wow. what a day. Been running around since 1 or 2 today. and now it's 10 and we are done! lol. First, went to Ross, found me a summer dress. Then went to the mall, ate and saw Year One...
So other than the dress, I got a blanket(blue and white zebra) because Josh always wants the air on and I get cold so I needed a me-sized blanket to keep me warm. :)
I got a new shirt also and slippers.
I had told Josh that the only other thing I wanted from him was something sentimental and thoughtful, so he drew me a picture :)
Which I have been bugging him about for a long time, because he can draw. It's a picture that says "I love you Sarah" and then has a teddy bear and a heart at the bottom that says around it "Josh & Sarah forever"
And I also am going to be getting the 3rd Twilight book which is Eclipse. I don't want the hardback though so I need to find a paperback. I finished the 2nd book (New Moon) a week or so ago... so I need to know what happens next lol. Those books are addicting! lol
Finally, I find some books that I actually enjoy. Stephenie Meyer is a good author :)
Anyway it's been a long day but I thought i'd post real quick. goodnite

mae mae

This is something Malea wrote about me and I just thought i would share it just because I miss her so very much. She would probably be the only other person I could count as a best friend other than Josh.
(excuse the nickname she gave me, she's retarded) lol...
MY BUTT CHUBS<3 Your nothing less then amazing.I hate that your gone from me. I never knew how hard it would be for me untill the day i seen you off. i cryed for hours.I miss you so much.I could not ask for a better sister. Sarah i know we have been thru everything but my love for you will never change. I wish i could have you back here so we could just sit & talk for hours=] We had some pretty good time's<3 Im so happy that you finally found that {one dude}& your happy=] He better not ever hurt you or i will kill no joke<3 Someday's i dont remember your gone & i look at the clock & think your just at work but then again your like 50,0000000 miles away from me. I dont think your ever going to know how much i really do miss you=[ Im crying while writing this

Wow, am I tired. Not that I have been working like crazy, but it does feel like it. Guess the heat just makes it feel more that way. Makes me more tired. In fact, I'm fixin to take a nap right after I'm done writing this :)
We don't work tomorrow, with it being my birthday and all :D I have been tryin to look for a cute summer dress or a birthday dress, because I'm sure we'll go out to a restaurant tomorrow night and I don't want to dress completely casual. I found a few, but my debit card is stupid and don't like to work at Ross so I have to get the cash out and get it tomorrow.
Work has been good, Josh and I are going to work open to close on the 4th so from 10-7 or whenever we're done cleaning up afterward. It's time-and-a-half so the extra money is always good. I was told today that our district manager said not to give any extra hours because all the other stores went over their payroll, but I talked to the manager who will be opening on Saturday and he said that he'll just say he called us in :) Our store is like 1500 in the green so we have extra payroll. So I am getting my hours! lol
Anyway I'm going to take a nap now :D

UGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! The one thing I hate about birthdays is I never know what I want.
Josh was going to get me a DSi BUT. It's not what we thought it would be. I mainly wanted it just so when I'm bored I have something to do and also because it has the built in camera, which is only VGA – 640x480. Less than a megapixel. So that's a waste. Another thing, I'm not the biggest fan of video games, so I wouldn't want all that money going to waste and not even really play it. So I don't know if I just want a camera or something else. More clothes are always nice :P. I had to leave some in Reno because I already had 4 suitcases coming here that all added up to about 100 pounds. I also had to leave a lot of my shoes :( So I brought the ones that I knew I'd wear the most. Most of them are heels. But I miss them. lol. I have a lot and they weren't cheap...
So of course, another year and I don't know what I want. The last time I remember actually really wanting something for my birthday was when I still played with dolls and barbies. So about 10 or so. I guess I'll just have to put some more thought into it and hopefully I come up with something. I'm not sure what else Josh has planned, but I'll just have to wait and see :)

Here I am, have to leave for work in an hour, and I'm ready already so I suppose I will blog. I slept for a good 7 or 8 hours and I'm falling asleep right now... I remember when I could be wide awake off of 4 hours of sleep or less. I guess it's just because I would do it so much and it finally caught up with me.
Anyway, there is a reason I am posting, not just to blab, but I was just thinking about something so I figured I'd post about it.
:)
I never realized until now what a best friend really is. I must say, up until a little less than a year ago, I never had one. When your little, your best friend is the one that your around the most, your always with them, but you talk bad about them behind your back. I hate to admit, but yes I have done that before. Haven't we all? I know that every person that has considered me their best friend has done that to me. (just about) Almost all the people I know. I met my friend Nikki in 5th grade and we were truely what I would consider best friends. Up until middle school. Because she moved so we didn't see each other much other than on our birthdays. Neither one of us have ever talked bad about the other and we only argued once over a very stupid thing. (i dont even remember what it was) I'm starting to blab... but anyway,
I really only have one true friend. He may have talked about me, but that's in the past and he told me everything that he had said. I remember when I would be around others that would just sit around and gossip the whole time, I wouldn't just sit there and listen without my 2 cents worth. My point is that when other people are doing it, of course your going to. And that's the situation that he seemed to end up in a lot. Those people know who they are. And like I said, I'm not guilty of it, I just hate how it seems to be a necessity for some. It's ridiculous!!! As I was saying... He's been here for me, knows more about me than anyone else in this world and if I didn't have him as my best friend, I don't know what I would do. Of course we have our differences, doesn't everyone? But we work them out right away.
Well this wasn't worded the way I'd hoped for it to be, but oh well, it still makes sense.
I love my best friend :)
I love you Josh :D

Josh and I are both off today. I wish I would have slept longer, because I was still tired when I woke up but 11 is late enough and I didn't want to sleep my day away. Haven't done much today, it's 99 outside so I'd rather stay in. I was going to go swimming but there's always someone down there. I went earlier for about 5 minutes and then of course someone showed up so I left. Plus it's just so hot out, almost unbearable sometimes being in that sun for too long. We're going grocery shopping here soon, because the refrigerator is empty and so are our stomachs :P lol. Mostly have to get stuff for lunch when we're at work, since we're hardly home anymore. My birthday is next week, it came way too fast. I am so frustrated because I tried to look for my birth certificate before I left Reno but had no luck. My Mom is on the lookout for the stupid thing, but so far no luck. I really don't want to have to pay almost 50 dollars just to get a new one. So hopefully, she can find it. I wouldn't be so worried about it, but my id expires on my birthday so I need a new one :) My oh my, I'm getting old!!!

No work today. Got called in but told them I wasn't available, because I had a heat stroke yesterday, so I don't want to be out in the heat at all today. Don't want that to happen again because it was not fun. But I'm off tomorrow also and told them if they need me then, I'm sure I will be feeling much better :D
Anyway, Josh is at work so I won't be doing much today. Just been cleaning up, straightening the closet, organizing everything. Listening to music. Wish I would have brought my cd's here with me, because what I want to listen to isn't something I can just search for online. Oh well :D I will live.
Well I'm going to find me something to eat. Got some breadsticks left over from Pizza Hut last night :)
Goodbye

So, tonight was a break from the hot sunshine. I was inside at work, so I'm not exactly sure if a tornado was close by or not. The closest one I know of was in Forth Worth. Close enough. So we were slow at work for the night, but it gave us a chance to clean up earlier and get out before 10:00, so that was nice for a change. It was nice and quiet too. And we still made sales.
I'm not up to much right now, just have a headache. Josh is making me some french fries. On my next day off I want to go grocery shopping, which isn't til Tuesday... so maybe we'll go Friday, idk. I need to buy stuff for enchiladas, since I have my fav. recipe now. :) Thank you Mexican Mom. I can finally enjoy some real mexican food. Real goooooooooddddddd. yummy. (I just hope it turns out as good as yours!)
Anyway, Saturday I have a meeting at work bright and early, then have to work after that...not sure what time I get off but Kelly will be here so we're probably going to dinner. I haven't seen her in 3 years!!! Been a long time. So I am definately looking forward to that :D
Well french fries are done and I'm just about ready for bed soon here anyway.
Goodnight

Short day @ work today... just 4 hours. It was kinda nice. BUT the store was a mess!!! Lisa(closing manager tonight) tried calling me in early but the number on the computer is wrong and she forgot to check the other file with my cell number. I was in shoes & accessories, which was probably the worst department when I got there. But it looked great when we left :) She was helping me face all the shoes forward and told me I was a hardworker and that it's good I keep myself busy and I use my time wisely. Feels good to get compliments sometimes. Especially since my hard work went unnoticed at the Ross in Reno. All the lazy people were favored there it seemed. But anyway. Josh is going to be working with me. YAY! He had an interview Thursday, and Lisa asked me tonight if he was ready, and I said yes, he's been applying pretty much everywhere but no one is hiring. And she said the background check should be done by Monday or Tuesday at the latest, and that Nancy (hiring/assistant manager) was going to hire him and then some other guy. So he was happy when I told him the news. Although I already knew he was going to get the job because my store manager asked me if we'd be okay working together. And we'll probably be working pretty much the same shift because they like me closing since I actually do my work And when he had the interview, Nancy told him they need closers. Anyway. I should get going to bed. Gotta work all day tomorrow. And might go in early to get some more hours. :) Goodnight.
o and btw. i saw some really yucky bugs today. and so i ran off the sidewalk into the street.

Sitting here doing nothing so I might as well post something. :)
No work today but tomorrow 2-10:30 i think lol. maybe 2:30 i can't remember.
Pretty much relaxed today.
Went to the coffee shop right next to us and got some frolattes yummmy.
Saxby's. waaaaaay better than Starbucks.
They don't put a million pounds of coffee in one cup.
So you can actually taste everything else lol.
Other than that, went up to the college then to subway, best buy and home.
Josh got me Sims 3 :) I love that game
Probably the only type of video game I will ever play in my life since I'm not too much of a video game person.
I like building houses and decorating them.
Good practice :D
Right now just waiting for dinner. Put some chicken in the crock pot (the way Julia makes it) the best! can't wait to chow down ;)
Well that's about all for now.
Love<3

Just thought I would add that my cake is black tie mousse cake, I couldn't think of what it was at the time and I didn't feel like getting up and going to the fridge to check. It is sooo yummy. It's taking me a while to eat it though.
Also, it was really hot today. Probably the hottest it's been since I got here. So hot that I actually wanted to go to the pool and get in the water for once. And I did. This time there was only an old lady there so we went ahead and went.
I believe it was about 100 degrees maybe hotter today. Of course the humidity just makes it 10x worse. It was almost unbearable.
I need to go to bed now. Have to get up bright and early for work. Goodnight :)

Decided I would post since I'm not up to much else.
Yesterday was Josh's bday.
We got up at 11 and hurried, got ready and went to the mall.
He filled out about 5 apps and then 2 or 3 online.
We ate there... I got a pepperoni pretzel from Auntie Anne's I think it was
And Josh got Subway.
Then after that, we came home and relaxed for a while.
We were going to go to the pool but there were tons of people there, and we both prefer not to be in a big crowd.
Then we (Julia, Josh & me) went to Olive Garden. That's where he wanted to go because he said he wanted something with chicken, although he ended up eating shrimp. lol
Juilia got some ribs and I got chicken fettucini. Of course, probably the only thing on the menu I will actually eat lol. Julia told us to pick out some dessert to go... I She got some lemon cake I think, I got some cheesecake and Josh got coffee cake. I can't remember the exact names of them all but that's what they were lol.
I got my nice rebate check for my phone today, 400 dollars. yay. That's always nice :)
The verizon guy told me it wouldn't be til July but hey the sooner the better :)
well im gonna go now
and finish enjoying (of course) my white cheddar popcorn and vanilla coke.
Buh bye :]]]

Love my sissy

Me and Malea's song
She heard it after dropping me off at the airport the morning I left for Texas
and I heard it yesterday in Subway after I got off the phone with her
Love and miss you aleamae <3

More shopping today, didn't really get too much... just a couple things.
We got up bright and early @ 8. Well Josh did. lol I slept til 8:30
heehee
after going to bed at 4 this morning, but I just couldn't fall asleep.
I was wide awake. So I just went on the computer for a little while
cause I knew it would make me tired.
Anyway, we didn't get back til about probly almost 2 hours ago
So we were gone all day for the most part... 7 or 8 hours
then we were going to go swimming... or at least just go down to the pool
but the sun was pretty much gone by the time we got ready
but o well the pool isn't going anywhere
there's always tomorrow
maybe...
I FINALLY heard from Ross, I get to start tomorrow! yay!!!
I'm a little nervous, just because of the fact that I don't know anyone
but at least I already know what I'm doing :D
well that's all i feel like posting right now.
so bye Janaya. lol. I know you take the time to read my blah blah blahs. lol
love ya miss u

Today was shopping spree day lol
We had planned to go to the mall yesterday
but we were just so sick of walking that we changed our minds
and of course today had to be rainy
but Julia dropped us off, since she had to go out to Arlington
First we went to eat, because it was 3 and we hadn't had anything to eat yet
So we went to this place inside the mall
the Grand Luxe Cafe
Very beautiful place, not too pricey for how much food they give you
Every single place we have eaten at has had awesome waiters/waitresses
So of course we have to leave a nice big fat tip :D
Josh can't stand this mall, though
(and I don't blame him)
most of the stores are stores like louis vuitton, juicy couture, coach and blah blah
blah
other dumb ones like hollister and abercrombie & fitch(hate that store!)
waste of money
ANYWAY
the only place I found any clothes was Aeropostale
cheap cheap cheap! i love those clearance racks lol
Josh found some at Aeropostale and Old Navy
all the other stores were retarded
so Aeropostale is the only clothing store I'm ever going in for myself
because we walked around for 4 hours! and that was the only store worth going in
Then Julia called at 7 saying she was on her way back so she was going to come pick us up
so we got us some Jamba Juice (my favorite!)
:D
and then went and sat for a little while until she got there.
And now here I am, it's 11:25 and we are just now going to eat some dinner lol
had to go to walmart to get some food
because we are just about sick of eating out
it gets old after a while
thats all for now!

Here I am. Again. I'm super tired. This morning, I woke up at 8 because I couldn't sleep because I didn't feel so great, so I just layed down until I fell back asleep & ended up waking up at 2. Which I'm glad I went back to sleep because I slept through our nice big thunderstorm. Josh and I didn't have plans today, but decided we would go up to walmart. As much as I hate that walmart, because it's kind of ghetto, we spent over 2 hours there. lol. Ridiculous. Me. In Walmart. For 2 hours. Never thought that would happen. At least we didn't leave without getting anything. And it was all stuff we needed. We also ate at Taco Bell/Pizza Hut express before walmart... Josh had Taco Bell I just got a breadstick combo from Pizza Hut :) Then, we went home for a while and after a few hours I was hungry again, so Denny's it was :)
And it was YUMMY!!!
Probably the nicest looking Denny's I've ever been in.
It was about 9 when we left the house and we got back home at almost 12.
Just a little update
Goodnight!

Went to the pool to get some sun today. Yesterday too. Think I stayed out a little too long today lol. I look like a lobster. But it will tan over either by tomorrow or in a couple days. After that, Josh and I went to Chili's. Now we know where even more restaurants are because we went to Walmart with Julia the other day and she showed us where they were. So now we definately have more choices :) I get sick of fast food all the time, and I always prefer an actual restaurant...
So anyway not much more to update on so I will post when I have something

For the sake of an update, I suppose I'll post.
Not much going on, can't wait to start work... I have to wait for them to transfer everything over, and knowing my manager in Reno... who knows how long that will take.
Josh and I finally found some restaurants! And it's really not too bad of a walk. Probably about 20 minutes- 30 at the most. Last night we went to Ihop, we did have plenty of choices, but of course I am the picky one and can't try anything new. Someday. There was an Olive Garden and Denny's too, which we would have gone to one of those but since we kept walking down further to see what else there was, Ihop was the closest, and we were really hungry by then, so Ihop it was :D Never again though. The food wasn't the greatest. Good but not the greatest. We did get a drink I think it was called a sparkling cherry. That was good. Just like a Shirley Temple.
There is this place called Duke's I believe, and I'm guessing its a bar- it was really loud, loud music and there were tons of people outside. And TONS of motorcycles!
I can only tell you one thing about Texas that I absolutely DO NOT like.
THE HUGE BUGS! yuck! lol
well that's my update goodbye!

Warning: LONG!!! lol

I actually woke up before 1 today so I guess I will post on what we've been up to.
A LOT of walking, I'll tell you. The 2nd day I was here we did have plans but they were ruined by the nice big thunderstorm we had. We did try walking after it had stopped but then it started raining again so we figured we should walk back before we get caught in it. Good thing we decided on that. :D So we stayed inside most of that day, except later that night we went to Subway and then to Walmart so I could get shampoo for my retarded hair for this retarded humidity. And we got a case of Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper- which didn't last long because Josh chugs his drinks. lol as with me, I limit it to one a day, if that. lol. So we get up the next day, and it does look like it's going to rain, as it does almost every day, but we go anyway. And it didn't rain at all :) Our first stop was to get something to eat, but who knows where they are hiding all these restaurants that I'll actually eat at. All we saw on our way to the mall was stupid bakeries and cafes. But we wanted an actual restaurant. So we just went to the Galleria first. O my. WAY better than Reno. It's huge! 4 stories, although Josh says there's 3 but I'm sticking to my side lol. Tons of stores, an ice skating rink, not much food to choose from though. We were going to go to Grand Lux Cafe but of course, nothing I would eat. And I didn't want a sandwich because I had just had subway. I finally got my jamba juice :) To me, that's what a lot of people's starbucks is. When I worked by jamba juice, I got one every day. I got strawberries wild and Josh got Strawberry surf rider- mine was better, his was too sour. lol. So after looking around at all the stores trying not to get lost, we go to the other mall. Which isn't as big, but still a good size. This is the one that has 3 stories with a movie theater. We looked around for a little while and decided the food there didn't sound good either, so we went home and rested after all the walking. I think we waited a couple hours and ended up going to subway again. Because by then, anything sounded good.
We went back Monday, only because we had to go get Julia's Mother's Day present, because she won't be here Mother's Day because she has to fly to Houston for work. And also we had plans to go see a movie. I wanted to get her something from the Galleria, seeing as we had more choices of stores. But that was not fun for me. I get upset when I can't decide on what to get someone. After walking back and forth, we decided on a "Heavenly" perfume set from Victoria's Secret. We go over to the other mall, eat first, because we had to kill time til 3:45 because that's when the movie started. I had Wetzels Pretzels and he had, OF COURSE. Subway. lol. I think he's going to turn into a sub sandwich. lol
After the movie, we went home... And i'll post more later because I'm sick of typing! lol

Finally here!!!

So I made it here safe and sound... I was more worried about getting lost switching planes in Vegas than flying. I liked it though. Favorite part was taking off and landing :D It's just wierd, I keep thinking it was all a dream cuz I always said, I will NEVER fly!!! lol... The only thing that was annoying is I get motion sickness so my stomach was turning. But once they came around I got my Dr. Pepper and some wheat thins and I was fine :D From Reno to Vegas, I sat by 2 middle aged ladies... they all talked really annoying... Like omg totally! lol anyway... switched planes in Vegas, found my gate ok- they were just neverending hallways!!! Although I did ask someone just to make sure I was going the right way. That flight was delayed by about 20 minutes or so because we had to wait for the pilot coming from another plane. From there, it was to somewhere else lol idk how to spell the place... but I didn't have to switch planes... it was only a 45 minute flight from there to Dallas though...I ended up changing seats so I could be closer to the front, that way I could hurry and get off the plane so I could see Josh faster lol... They put 2 little girls next to me because they were minors. The younger girl kept hitting her sister, then she was eating her boogers, they came around and asked what we wanted to drink and sometime passed by, the flight attendants had to sit down because of turbulance, and the girl asked me "Where are our drinks?!" lol... so I told her we weren't getting them because we were about to land and they couldn't finish serving. So yah overall it was a pretty good flight :D
And now I'm with Josh and I love it!
I'm as happy as can be :)

Don't really feel like posting but I'll do it anyway...
On my way to work.
Just a few days left
ugh i am going crazy!!!
im starting to get sick tho...
im hoping that doesn't last 2 long.
cuz I dont want to be sick when I get there
anyway
finally getting outta this town
away from these people.
can't wait

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah)

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah yeah ea ea)

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Wow. So. I'm pretty sure I have the date set for when I leave. The 1st of May. And my o my, am I nervous. Because I am flying. And I never have. So I'm a little scared. I have no idea what in the world to do. I have already gotten rid of so many clothes, which is not easy for me. I even got rid of shoes. BUT. I still have soo many of both! Josh is not too happy about that. lol. He wants me to get rid of more but I just can't convince myself to do that. Now, if all of them weren't new, or if I all of a sudden got fat, than yah, no problem. It would be a lot easier. But I don't see any of those happening so I am keeping them. So I have in mind who to give everything to, question is how I'm going to get it to them. Because I would rather them be used for someone that needs them other than throw them away. I would even sell them, but I just don't have time for it. Dallas is definately going to be different, but I've been here long enough, so something new will be nice for a change. I'm going to transfer to Ross which is a 6 minute drive, so it won't be too long of a walk since I won't have a car right away. Then there's always the bus :D

...
Just realized I haven't been finishing my blogs lately... lol
I always end up getting caught up in something but neway...
I have no idea what else I was going to put on here... but I already started packing although I have 16 days left til I leave. But with me working, it's just better to have it done and not do it all at the last minute. I am having trouble with luggage, I just have too much stuff. I decided it would probably be better if I got a nice huge duffle bag (on wheels) instead of a suitcase because I can probably get more to fit. Plus, it's waay cheaper. I found a nike one I like for 20 bucks... plus my discount so it will be like 16. But, I want to make sure it doesn't look stupid with the rest of my luggage, which is pink & zebra... so I'm going to stick with black. Well gotta go... Work at 9 today and get off at 1 but I told the other girl, Jamie who got in a car accident that if she doesn't want to come in then I will work for her. So I may be able to stay til 5 :D
BYE!

So here I am. AGAIN. lol
Wierd thing is, I'm hardly on the computer.
Your probly thinking, yah right, but really the only thing I do on here is this.
I remember when I used to be able to spend hours on the computer,
but now, I'm on here for 5 minutes and bored out of my mind.
I will sit here forever though and just look at the screen lol.
So, I was only supposed to work from 9-2 but they asked me to stay til 5. 3 extra hours no problem, plus they went and got everyone lunch. Crossiant sandwiches, chips, fettucini alfredo, chicken, coleslaw(yuck!) lol and i think potato salad.
I stuck with a turkey croissant chips and then had the alfredo on my break...
It was all very yummy.
Good thing they got that too, because I wasn't supposed to have a lunch so I didn't bring one, but since I stayed I did :D
The day went by soooo slow though. I doubt we even made near to what sales were supposed to be. It seemed busy to me, but that's only because I was pretty much in customer service by myself all day. Which is not all that fun, because the day drags. horribly.
The other girl that works in customer service was in a car accident I believe Monday after work. Her kids were in the car. Her daughter is probly 1 and her son about 4. I think she got hit on the drivers side... She's really bruised, her kids are okay. But i'm pretty sure she'll be recovering for a while. We'll see. Just hope she's alright. Especially since not even a few days before the accident happened, her Mom was in the hospital, and she's not expected to live very long. So things are not going so good for her.
Well I need to go clean and get rid of more stuff so I have less to pack!!!

Family?

Ok, so I'm back.
Like I said before, this is for my personal use because I can type wayyy faster than I can write so this is where my thoughts go. And complaints I suppose.
So...
I just found out something that really made me mad. I mean on fire mad. If your reading this, some may know that I helped to bail my brother (if that's what you call him-wish I could say he wasn't) out of jail a few months back. Keep in mind, that he is the BIG baby of the family, so how horrible would I look if I said no. And I mean, I had all this money falling out of the sky (haha!NOT!) so hey, I could do it no problem. I did NOT want to do it, and I regret it every day, but there's nothing I can change about that. On with my complaining. Come to find out, if I had not given them the money, I wouldn't have had anywhere to live. Wow. what a family. Not mine, that's for sure. I just can't wait to get out of here so I don't have to be with these people anymore because I am getting sick of being walked over and no good until there's money involved. I AM DONE! doing nice things for people, because it does me no good. I hope it ALL comes back to bite them. And when it does. No pity from me.

Getting ready for work :D
I don't mind these early days, because then I get off early,
and it's always nice to have the rest of the day to do whatever...
I open aaaallllll next week. I have more hours yay :D
The only thing I hate about opening is that it is so slooooowwwww in the mornings so there is absolutely nothing for me to do, because I can't leave customer service. So I stand there for a couple hours wandering and it just makes the day drag a bit.
I'm hoping to get more than what I'm scheduled for, which I most likely will
As long as the customers keep wasting their money :P lol.
You know, I've heard so many ppl complain about retail before I started
but I don't know why
Once you get used to it, it's not so bad.
I can say there are times I may not like my job, but there's one reason for that.
LAZY people.
You figure when you're a supervisor, you get that "title" because you work hard.
That's how I got mine.
But there's a couple ppl I work with, I would have to say it's because of favoritism.
Wow, can't say I have never experienced that.
Because I have been around favoritism my ENTIRE life.
It's like a neverending cycle in my life.
No matter where I was, it was there. Everywhere. And that's not excluding any place. I won't mention them though, but like I said. Everywhere.
As I was saying... I like my job, and other than a few lazy people, I love working with the people that I work with.
It's nice when you work with people that make your job fun.
Well I gotta finish getting ready, Maybe if I think of more to blab I'll do that later.
Buh bye

Some people...

Are so stupid!
Ok, so today @ work, I opened in the fitting room.
Today might as well have been national let's steal holiday
because we had a few try.
TRY.
but I'm not an idiot & they made it so obvious. At least, it was obvious to me.
Considering I've been around ppl that have stolen things, my uncle has been in & out of prison his whole life for stealing, and I've had things stolen from me.
I may have not caught them in the act, because I wasn't there, but when something has been stolen from me, it doesn't take long to figure out who it is.
ANYWAY.
These ladies were retarded. I'm not going into details but they just were.

Just a quick update.
I open and close today.
Yay hours for me :D
It's a good thing I like my job
& that there's some that aren't lazy
and make it fun for me that way I don't always have a bad day
:]
That would mainly be Felisa my little filipina ;)
aka Lucy Liu lol
It's funny how the lazy ones always get recognition for things
but the ones who work their butts off get absolutely nothing.
I'm sure it's because the ppl they get recognition from are lazy too.
yah that's definately it.
Wierd how that works. But oh well. At least we know we're doing our job.
...
I'm off work now I never finished posting because some handsome hunk called me :D
anyway...
I got off at 6:30 instead because they are too cheap to give overtime, so why they scheduled me that way. who knows?
It wasn't too bad, my feet are killing me, and I'm tired. Have to open tomorrow. And Wednesday Thursday. yeehaw. definately need to be going to bed early all this week.
Don't feel like saying anything else. I'm hungry so I'm going to feed myself. Lemon pepper chicken sounds yummy so that's what I'm having.
And YES. I can cook it.

Sleepyhead!

(just a warning. this is long)lol
Wow I am so ready for bed!!!
Yesterday I was scheduled from 9-5:15 but ended up leaving a little before 2
I didn't feel good at all. Felt sick to my stomach.
I don't really know why other than the fact that I could not sleep the nite before.
I think I slept a whole 3 hours.
So anyway.
I went to Josh's from work, decided I would just take the bus, which I hate doing by myself, but did it anyway. It wasn't bad at all. It was actually pretty nice. It was my me time I guess you could say.
So that took an hour. Not too bad.
So I got to Josh's and not too long after I got there we decided we were hungry. So we ordered pizza. Neither one of us like to call, so we were thankful for Domino's. lol. Super cheap and you can order online. lol
If you stay on the website there's a tracker and it tells you when the order is placed, bein prepared, baked, boxed and delivered. It was funny because it told us the name of the person that put our pizza in the oven and who was delivering it.
I think it probly took a whole 30 minutes if that for us to get it.
We got the 555 deal. One pepperoni (both of ours)one pepperoni with black olives(that one was mine lol) and one with chicken (Josh's)
We ordered a drink thinking it was a 2 liter and when it arrived I told Josh, "well here's your 2 liter". lol. It was a puny thing. lol
So enough of that.
I'm just blabbing. Nothing new there. That's what this is for.
On with my day yesterday.
I slept for a couple hours after that then woke up, cleaned the kitchen, Josh fell asleep. So after I'm done cleaning I go back to sleep.
We woke up at 5 because I had to work 9-5:15 again today. So I wanted 2 make sure I wasn't late since I had never taken the bus that early from his house to work. So we walk to Scolari's at 6, get some donuts and I wanted Strawberry Milk, but of course, they had none. It was rude. So I got water and a snapple. And he got chocolate milk and orange juice. Life story. lol
Once we got back I had enough time to eat and then get ready for work.
I left a little after 7 and got to work at 8:30 so it wasn't too bad.
Had a pretty good day at work. It went by faster than I thought it would. I was in customer service from 9-2. Didn't take my first break til 1 but HAD to take my lunch at 2 because I had to go in the fitting room at 2:30. I was freaking out about being in the fitting room because I'm just starting out in there so I'm always scared that I'm not going to get all the clothes put up and in the right spot before I have this huge pile. But it was fine. The day went by smooth which I'm glad. So now I'm home, and I've been typing too long and it's making me tired. So I'm going to try and take a nap. We'll see how that goes.

Hello All.
Or maybe just hello to myself lol.
I'm so sick of being stressed out!!!
I'm too young.
Well then again, I'm not.
lol
I'm old
at least I feel old.
All the idiots at work
The idiots at home.
I'm sick of it all.
I can't wait to get out of here.

my goodness I post a lot. lol.
At least lately I do.
Busy day at work. They had me running back and forth.
I got there, was in customer service.
Then in the fitting room and on the floor sizing dresses.
And in fine jewelry.
Then on a regular register.
And after that had to run 3 nice full racks of clothes.
One in Juniors, one in womens and one in mens.
FUN FUN!!!

Here I am, posting another blog.
Just got finished getting ready for work. I'm not as tired as I thought I would be after being on the phone for a total of 5 hours and not going to bed til 5 or so.
lol.
I don't mind though :D
Anyway.
I just wanted to say what's on my mind...
About those people that are liars, and try to take the one thing away from you that makes you happy. I'm just so mad and frustrated about this I seriously think I could go punch someone in the face. But that wouldn't be doing me any good unless it was the people that said it.
UGH!!!!!!!!!
It just makes me want to puke because of how FAKE people are. How they are supposed to be good people but they go behind your back and talk garbage about you to him. Or about him to you.
I was holding a conversation with someone and come to find out, the whole time I'm wondering why he isn't talking to me as much is because of lies that he's being fed about me. Oh, she can't cook, (well hello! last time I checked, I was white, so obviously I'm not going to know how to cook every single mexican dish there is on the planet) she's a slob (have you looked at your house lately? I would be embarrassed if my house looked like that!) and last but not least, She's planning your wedding already. Calling wedding planners, ordering flowers. WOW!!!
Seriously how low can people be?!?!
Just because obviously your not happy, don't ruin everyone elses life.
We are in love and we are happy. End of story. So nice of you to try and ruin it for us. Good try.
Now go do something better with your life and live up to the way your SUPPOSED to act. The good person your SUPPOSED to be.
Hypocrites.

I noticed I have been posting a lot lately. lol.
Guess that's cuz I've actually been at home considering I'm getting more hours at work again.
We'll see how long that lasts.
Well it's early, Josh called so we talked for a while. And now I think it's time for me to go back to bed. I actually get a full 8 hours tomorrow at work so don't want to have a headache all day from being too tired.
So goodnight all!
or... good morning? lol not sure exactly how to put that.
heehee
:]

Well I just noticed my guestbook is gone. lol
so I'll put that up now :D
let's see if i can remember

Ok so I'm FINALLY done.
For now.
Not liking the background on my playlist too much.
But I don't feel like looking for another one right now, so I will change it later.
And for now I'm just going to leave my guestbook the way it is.
Well hope you all like it :D

New :)

So I finally decided to change my blog. But I'm not so sure I like it all that much. I wanted lots of color and no black but that didn't happen. lol.
So if I have enough patience to change it later than I will. I really don't want to change my guestbook background but I have to have it all match :D
Going to put a few more things up and we'll see how it turns out.

I just read my previous blog and wanted to add that the cat food was not for Josh. lol
Just thought I'd clear that up.
heehee
:D

Is it at all possible to die of boredom?
lol
I really don't like posting these things but when there's nothing else to do, hey, why not?
I've been getting along with Taylor more lately. I'm trying to and I must say it's not that easy. But much easier than I thought it would be. I guess after our big fight we just needed to cool down. And although I got in her face and told her that I hate her along with some other not so very nice things, I really don't hate her. I just hated the fact that I had been trying before to get along with her and she ruined it.
Things happen, though. Just gotta get on with your life, and not make such a big deal out of them. Not so easy all the time. At least, not for me.
It's so boring being here at home.
My sister never wants to talk to me, she's always a grouch.
I work the whole week so I can't stay at Josh's.
I did go over today. He needed some cat food and toilet paper, so I took care of that for him.
:D
Julia came home yesterday and so I was able to see her today.
I got there a little before 2, had bought me and Josh some BK, not knowing that she was at In & Out getting some food for the both of them. lol. So he got 2 meals lol.
On Friday I'm off so we will be going to get his game that he's been so patiently waiting for who knows how long. Been counting down the days, I'm sure. I really need to get me some more games for our 360, because it's all games that he plays. I only play one of them, I had bought one for myself but it stopped working. At least that one was only 10 dollars. Unlike the rest which were mostly 60 dollars for each one. But I do enjoy watching him play. I'm not too big on playing video games but I can sit there and watch someone if I'm interested enough. And since he knows what he's doing, I don't mind it.
K well I'm talking about absolutely nothing interesting like always, so I guess that means it's time for me to shutup.
Goodnight all.
If anyone still reads this? lol.
