people

I just vented on my myspace blog... just because it was the nearest one to vent to! lol I just don't understand people how they say one thing and do another. I was just going through some of my old posts and this seems to be a constant with a few people in my life. I think I am throwing in the towel and calling it quits. I am tired of wasting time and energy on these people. That doesn't mean they can't be apart of my life because obviously they will be. All, I know is I am no longer going to lose sleep over stupid crap. I actually love the life that Shawn and I have here. I love the fact that we have made friends with people here. I remember when we first moved here, I was miserable because i didn't have a job, I wasn't in school at the time, and I really didn't know that many people. Well since then, I am happy and I think this move has done nothing but strengthen mine and Shawn's relationship. I don't know if some people just didn't expect us to make a life here or what...but surprise we did. Don't get me wrong, I miss my family and all of my A-town friends like crazy...but this move has also showed me which friends really care about me and my husband. In fact, this move has not only strengthened mine and Shawn's relationship, but also my relationship with family and friends. Anyway it is late and I am spent. We are suppose to get some snow...I just hope it doesn't ruin our lunch on Saturday. I am really looking forward to everyone coming up. Oh and Twila I wish you could come too....

oh yea I am celebrating my b-day for a week this year lol! Shawn has to work the weekend of my b-day so my b-day party is going to be on the 13th. And I will celebrate until the the big day....after all a person only turns 23 once in their life. lol. I love love love birthdays!

Hope everyone has a great Friday and a great weekend!

wow 2 years today

Happy Blog anniversery to me! lol

Finally yesterday afternoon we got a phone call on Copper. Such a relieved feeling to have him back home!

Christmas was awesome this year. Finally a full day I got to spend with the family. Shawn and I recieved lots of gifts this year. My favorite is our microwave that we got. It is red and black and best of all, it goes with my chef stuff. It is soooo cute in my kitchen! Another item that I got was a Chef Santa. I was looking in November and the beginning of December, but I couldn't ever find any Santa Chef stuff. I did find a few items online but they were to expensive. Anyway, so I was really excited about that too. I never thought I would get excited over kitchen stuff, but I guess I have shown myself otherwise.

Christmas night Megs came and stayed the night with us, then on Monday my parents came up to get her and they had supper here. It was fun! Saturday, Shawn's cousins, aunt, uncle, and grandparents will be here for lunch. Shawn and I are making Spaghetti.



There really isnt much else going on besides working. Shawn worked his first sucide lastnight. I guess they got the call around 2 this morning. Anyway, I woke up around 7 this morning and saw he wasn't home yet, I just assumed he went to breakfast with the guys. He got home around 7:30 and just said he spent all night working a bloody sucide. Talk about a gross image. It didnt keep him from falling asleep. Once his head hit his pillow he was out. I on the other hand was laying there wondering why this guy commited sucide and what the scene must have looked like. I eventually just got up.

I finally have some pics.... that include coppers first snow, the ice snow/storm, and coppers return yesterday. Shawn and I forgot to take the camera with us to Amarillo on Christmas. I will have to get some pics from my mom or sis.

Copper

So Copper has been missing since Wednesday afternoon. I let the dogs out to go to the bathroom and while they were outside I went to go use the bathroom also. Well this time Minnie stayed in the backyard and some how Copper managed to get out. We are hoping we will get a call on him soon. Anyway please keep us or him in your prayers.

Thanks!

It feels sooo good to be home!

An ice/snow storm started Monday night but got really bad Tuesday night. Shawn had to work both nights. Tuesday I had a migrane so I was in bed all day. I think I finally crawled out of bed around 10 pm. Anyway when I looked outside tree branches were falling everywhere on our street. The light pole caty corner to our house fell across the intersection around 11. That was the first time of the night I got to see or talk to Shawn, even though he was just running in to use the restroom. The people across the street didn't have power after that until around 2 that morning. Our side of the street lost power at 4 am and it wasn't turned back on until 2 this morning. I have pictures of all the branches and limbs in our yard. When Shawn arrived home yesterday morning, he arrived to find a pretty good size limb on top of his truck. I think all of the ice and snow cushioned its fall. A couple of city trucks and cars got their windows smashed by branches. It looks like a war zone around here. Anyway we ended up going to a friends house around 9 yesterday morning and stayed at their house lastnight. I thought about going to Amarillo, but our cellphones were acting up so I didn't want to chance it. Plus, Shawn was on stand by for the day. I will post pictures when Shawn gets back. My camera is in the car. He is excited because his gun finally came in so he is at the PD signing for it and I think today is the potluck lunch or something. Anyway I need to go throw my work clothes in the dryer.


Update: So I guess my camera is still at Johnnies house. Opps I thought I put in the car. So I will have to post pics tomorrow. Right now in my front yard is Shawn, 6 or 7 highschool boys, 2 other guys with chainsaws and other kinds of saw things. They are cleaning up the front yard and cutting down some of the branches that look like they could fall any minute. I was dreading cleaning up the front yard, but God answered my prayers! I guess they love the goodies that Shawn and I made. lol Anyway I just love the sight of people helping people. :)

ah the Holidays! Such a warm feeling! :)

Wow this is my 302 post. Just noticed that sorry. Anyway, so how did I end the semester..... I ended with all A's! Normally I end up with a b in a class but not this semester. I am so proud of me!
Not much going on here. Thursday was my mom's birthday and she was off. So after I took my final Shawn and I headed over to my parents house. Shawn stayed at the house to take a "nap". My dad ordered flowers but wasn't sure if my mom was going to be home since she planned on spending the day christmas shopping. Anyway my mom and I spent the whole day shopping and then we went to Megs eye appointment. That dr. was something else. Anyway my dad got back in town around 7ish so went out to eat and then went and looked at Christmas lights. I had lots of fun spending time with them, I just wished Shawn didn't have to work. lol Anyway I stayed the night, then Friday morning, mom and I hit up a shopping center. We saw lots of cool stuff and had a very expensive cookie. Well we didn't pay for the cookie we just asked a price for a dozen and it was double the price Ihad in my mind, but it was a good cookie. lol
Saturday night, after I got off work Shawn and I went bowling with a guy he works with and his girlfriend. I lost but it was lots of fun. I have gone bowling before but it is with people that are very competive and I am not the best bowler and I joke around about it, and anyway I never really had fun bowling before. We tried to go look at Christmas lights but since it was after midnight a lot of them were already off.
We did go and look at lights lastnight with the same people. I was tired but it was fun.
Shawn and I baked this morning. Now he is taking a nap before he goes to work. It is all cold and gloomy outside. I think there is a chance of snow. I would like it if I didnt have to be at work in an hour. And guess what today is my day to do Short shift. Which means I will be outside. But after today I will be off for the next two days and no school!
I don't know if I mentioned it or not but Shawn finally has his own patrol car. It has to be parked in the drive way and accessable at all times, so it kind of gets annoying switching the cars around, but I guess that's life! :) Anyway, I better go finish getting ready for work!

I found these and they made me laugh, I am actually surprised that I haven't came across this movie, this year.

Yikes!

is tomorrow really Friday?

Have you ever had a week that felt like it was going fast at the beginning and then slow towards the end? Welcome to my week! So Monday night I stayed up till 2:30 studying for two chemistry tests I had the next day. I got up at 5 the next morning and left the house at 6.

So I could study for the tests at school. Then I went to my other classes for the day. I don't remember if I had told yall or not about the girl who was in our group presentation and then we ended up deleting her part out. Well if you even call it a part. Anyway apparently she had gotten her dates mixed up and thats why she wasn't there on the day of the presentation. She tried to lie to Dr. W and say that the paper was so much longer with her stuff in there and that we never called her. So needless to say after my second class, I along with the other 2 members that did the group presentation got held up. She started crying. It was alot of excuses coming from her about this and that. I don't even think Dr. W was paying much attention. I think she knew it was a bunch of crap. When I looked down at my watch and saw that I only had 30 minutes left to go get a scantron, lunch, and make a copy of the take home test for a friend (that was due in the next class), I finally said I am sorry that you got the dates mixed up, but it wasn't like we used your stuff in our presentation. We took everything out. So the grade we get on our paper and on the presentation its self is based on our work alone not yours. The group meeting you did make it to you didn't have your part of the paper done much less started. Then you emailed us your portion that was plagerized. You took it straight off the star sheet and didn't even bother to provide the source. So she interrupts me and says well that was only the first half. So that just proved our point from the beginning that she didn't put much effort into it. Then this is the kicker she says you girls are young and have all kinds of energy to stay up late working on these things. I started laughing because it was so ridicoulous. Then J said excuse me I have two kids 2 and under along with a husband. H then said she drove from_____ and I drove from pampa for these meetings here in canyon. You live here not even 2 blocks from the school and you couldnt ever make them, even though we did them around your work schedule. So then she starts pouring out the tears again going back to her mixing up the dates and all of the other things and then wants to say that it is much easier for person in their 20's to go to school. So I finally said why are you using your age as an excuse? I said not to be rude but it just makes you sound stupid. You are 42 years old and you would think that out of the 4 of us you would be the most responsible about calling people, getting your stuff done, and letting people know when you are not going to be there. That is when Dr. W ended it and let us go. As we were walking out she was trying to hand in her stuff and all we heard was so whats your excuse on this being late. Needless to say the three of us were running to the bookstore and then to our next class. I just don't understand people like that.
Anyway in my last class for the day we got to work on the second part of our take home final. I think it is awesome that he let us do it in groups up to three.

So Tuesday night I got back in to town between 8 and 8:30. I ran in to Shawn at the store. He told me he would be home around 9 for lunch and that is when I was going to help him with his online final. Well needless to say I came home and was just going to watch tv until he got home....I fell asleep and didn't wake up until 3:30 when he ran inside to get a few dollars for a snack or something like that. I remember sitting up going are you ready to take your test and he goes I already took it and then I realized the time. I felt so bad but I don't think I have been in bed before 9 in a long long time!

I think we have most of our Christmas Shopping done. We still haven't really came up with any traditions all thought I think the theme in our house right now is to have patience and don't kill the dog.
He broke a bowl today. And lastnight Shawn left them out (which they are gated in the kitchen) and some how Copper managed to lock Minnie in the cage, knock over the trash can, have it strung all over the kitchen, and he knocked over the basket of socks that were on the couch. So it was big mixture between socks and trash oh an a travel pillow that he managed to shred. Yes I freaked when we walked in the door. We came in the front and I could see Minnie in their cage whinning like crazy. Then when we made it in the kitchen I noticed she was trying to get out but couldn't and then I saw the floor! Shawn was great about the situation. He sent me and Minnie to a different part of the house. I felt so bad for her. Today I can laugh about it, lastnight I was in tears over it. All I could think was thank goodness we don't let him rome the house because one can only imagine. Today has been much better. I think alot of it is he is starting to get new teeth and puppies seem to like to chew on everything they aren't suppose to chew on. When we went to go get his last set of Shots last week the vet told Shawn the best thing to let a dog chew on is an old boot. So we may just have to go find an old boot.

Well enough about Copper. Sorry I didn't get the pics loaded hopefully I can tomorrow!

Is that the sound of the semester ending I hear?

Yes! Yes! It is!!! Shawn has finals this week. It kind of bites because two of them are only available tomorrow and Wednesday and he is working tonight and tomorrow night. Not much sleep for him. I think he will be completely done by Wednesday. I however, have class tomorrow and all of my finals next Tuesday. It will be nice to just go to work for about a month and not have to worry about papers, observing, and exams.
Most of our first snow has melted. There is still a patch of ice in our drive way. I think I end up breaking on it every time I pull in to the drive way. So tonight I stopped like 3 ft in front of it. lol...I just don't want to chance sliding into the garage.
There wasn't much this weekend going on besides work and school work. Shawn had the weekend off, but he had to go work a funeral Saturday morning. A local marine died in Iraq. He was 21 years old. There were so many people. The protesters were talking about coming so they ended up having so many extra officers on duty from the troopers to the deputies. Even law enforcement from Amarillo came up. The protesters never did show up, most likely due to the snow they received in Kansas. I was glad to hear that, I was also glad to see that the law enforcement was ready for them just in case. I understand protesters for the war, but why at some one's funeral. I have been reading up on these people. They call these people that die for our country unamerican, they also walk on the American flag. I just don't get it.

Anyway, Shawn and I have pictures of Coppers first play time in the snow. It was hilarious! I will probably upload them on Wednesday or maybe tomorrow night if I feel like it. He is now 4 months old. I think I will be ready for a 1 to 2 year old. Shawn and I never really had to go through the puppy stages with Minnie. She chewed a little bit, but Oh my Copper can make you want to pull your hair out. He has learned to use his teeth to open cabinets. In fact yesterday Shawn and I went to the store and he left the dogs in the kitchen. When we got back home, Copper had managed to pull the drawer underneath the stove that holds most of our pots and pans and had them all out. In one of the cabinets there is my blender, toaster, mixer, and waffle maker. This morning he had my mixer out. I let them out and went to go use the bathroom only to come back into give them their breakfast when I saw Copper dragging my mixer around. He also manages to hop on the chairs and then on to the table like a cat. One of my candles that sits on top of the table now has lovely teeth marks in/on it. He did that a few days ago. So if you ever come into my house and wonder why the chairs are pushed far away from the table you know why.
Copper does not like the Christmas tree when the lights are turned on. Well at least when the star on the top is lit. He just howls and barks at it. Sometimes he doesn't notice but other times he does and he lets us know that he knows. Oh speaking of the Christmas tree, we had bought some garland to go on it and then decided we didn't like it. So Shawn wrapped it back up and tied it with a twist tie. Copper managed to get it off the table and into their cage. I was looking for it because a person at work wanted some for their Christmas tree and walmart didn't have silver anymore. I couldn't find it and Shawn and I were sure we had set it on the table earlier that day. Well around 1:30 in the morning we hear Copper and Minnie whining and barking very loudly. Shawn gets up to go see what is going and he finds Copper and Minnie tangled up together in the silver garland. He yells for me to get up. It was mess trying to get them out of it. We ended up getting the scissors and cutting it. Shawn went ahead and let them outside for a few minutes and I took their blanket out to get all the silver scrapings out and under their blanket I find all kinds of stuff, including a case for one of Shawn's PS2 games he was looking for, and some of last weeks mail.
We didn't know for sure which dog was doing it. We thought it was most likely Copper and it turned out to be him. We have caught him in the act! We were folding socks and underwear when he tried to take off with a pair of Shawn's boxers.

We have also noticed that while Copper gets in to the cabinets Minnie surprisingly wants nothing to do with it and she will go lay at the opposite end of the room and sometimes under the table.
She has been doing great lately about not escaping when we let her outside. I think we have fully potty trained Copper not to go on the tile. I never let him on the carpet areas of the house so I am not sure how he will do and I really don't want to find out.

Anyway, enough rambling for now. I have some studying to do before I go to bed!

Hope all of you have a great week!

Its snowing its snowing!!!

I am so glad its snowing...for one it means no chemistry tomorrow! :) I feel bad for Shawn....his uniform coat does not fit him at all. It barely goes to my wrists so you can only imagine how short the arms are on Shawn. Anyway, he got home late for lunch tonight because he ended up spending the last two hours out in the blustery cold and snow, he has his long johns on, and he was wearing his gloves but he looked like an icicle when he walked in the door. I felt bad...but hey he has been talking about how he couldn't wait to work in the snow. He decided not to go for swat... he said he wants to get done with school. He talked with someone about it and they said they understood. Yesterday while I was in class, he went and talked to an advisor in the criminal justice dept. I had no idea, until he was talking about only having 1 1/2 semesters until he could transfer over. I said transfer to where and he said here, and I thought he was talking about transfering to the canyon pd. I know silly blonde moment for me.

Our tree is all nice and decorated. This morning/afternoon, Shawn, put the lights up on the out side of the house (that was before the temp dropped and snow came a blowing in).
I love this time of year, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I just hate the commercialization of it all. Hopefully I can get some pictures up of the tree soon. I will probably take them tomorrow.

So lastnight, Shawn said that he wants to have Christmas Tradition(s). We talked about some... like what our families did when we were kids, but he really wants to come up with something original I guess? So my question is are there any traditions that you started, that werent really passed on or changed up? like something kind of original? Does this even make since?

Anywhooo....I think I am going to go put on some warm pjs and watch some tv. I have some shows to catch up on.

Yeppee!!!

So I got my presentation out of the way. Like always I stressed out over nothing. It was a little stressfull before, simply because 30 minutes before class we had to edit our paper and our handouts from the power point. One of the girls didn't participate at all. Well when each of us was suppose to contribute a page 1/2 to two pages and all she listed was 5 bullets on her topic. We could never get a hold of her. So we and talked to the Professor and she told us just to delete. So thats what we did. Our group was the only interactive one. We did a few discussions with the rest of the class and that gave us bonus points...plus we thought you had to dress professionally so we got bonus points for being the only group not in jeans. lol so that is my good news.
Shawn and I got our first big Christmas tree! We are fixing to decorate! Well I better go put on some Christmas tunes!

Hope all of you are having a great week!


EXTRA EXTRA - READ ALL ABOUT IT!!! MEGHAN UPDATED HER BLOG!!!
And TWICE with in a week!!! Who knows it might just snow tomorrow like its suppose to! Thanks for bringing the chance of snow to us Megs :) Love ya!

okay so its been a while

Wow, this month has gone by fast! It seems like we just did Halloween yesterday. Anyway, its getting towards the end of the semester for me. Only two weeks to go! I have a group presentation on Tuesday. Not really looking forward to it, but that's because I hate doing presentations. Shawn's birthday party was fun. Not to wild and crazy! lol!
Thanksgiving was great. Wednesday night around 9 we left here and went and stayed at my parents house. I think we ate around 12:30 and then we left at 3. It was nice, but it felt rushed because I had to be at work at 5. I never realized how many people drink on Thanksgiving. Not that it is a terribly bad thing, I just didn't expect to be super busy all of the Thanksgiving night. This lady out of no where gave me and my co worker 20 bucks a piece, she felt bad that we were working. I tried to give it back but she wouldn't. Shawn is looking in to joining the swat team here. I think they have a meeting sometime this week. At first he was going to wait, but was told that he should "attend". So that always makes things sound promising. We have his Christmas party to go to next Friday. Apparently, if you are PO you eat and leave, they wont bring out any of the alcohol until all the POs and there family are gone. I think we are having a gathering at someones' house. I have really met a lot of people in the last couple of months. Its nice to have friends here. Anyway, I have some stuff to do before I head off to work! Hope all of you had a nice Thanksgiving!

oh so what do you think about the background? I decided this should last me through out winter. I was going to do a Christmas one but I like the snowmen...besides that I knew my mom would love this one. lol

The music player is at the bottom. You can actually scroll through the list of songs and select the one you would like to hear. Depending on time...I will probably be editing and adding them :)

Frustrated!!!!

Okay so I typed up a post for today and right when I went to publish explorer closed out on me!! URG! Anyway I just got back from meeting Shawn and his buddies for lunch. They ate at Golden Corral I think the service there just keeps gettting worse and worse. I was going to stop by the bank and see my mom but I forgot she was at a seminar again today :(. Oh well I got a big hug from her on Tuesday. So I went a head and drove to the house to drop off Megs' jacket and there was a cow in the middle of their street. It was crazy! However, I almost felt like getting a rake out and raking the front yard and the driveway just to jump in a big pile of leaves. Oh to be a kid again! I am sure their neighbors would have thought I was crazy. lol Anyway the leaves are sooo pretty right now and the big tree is beautiful. I tried to take a picture but my camera died. I wish my front yard had a huge tree like that.
Okay enough about the tree....whats new? Shawn is loving his class this week. Each night they have had dinner at one anothers houses. I went Monday night with him. Tuesday night he cooked and everyone came over here, we stayed home lastnight and cooked for my Dad since he is working in a town not to far from here. That was nice. I haven't seen my dad in a month and half or so. Same with my mom.
Tuesday I think I had the worst day of this year so far. I woke up late. Rushed to school, parked like 5 blocks away from the school. Ended up locking my keys in my car. Argued with Campus police that I was a student. I felt like I was a laywer. Finally they came and unlocked my car for me. I got my keys. Then I realized I left my jumpdrive and buffgoldcard at home. So I wasn't going to be much help to my group for our group paper and presentation. Then I studied competencies 7 and 12 for a test when it was over 7 & 11. I think I did okay on the test. So by the time I left school at 6:30 my head hurt. So on the way home I took a detor to my moms house. Got a hug, went to the bathroom, and got some tylenol. By the time I got home I felt much better. Which was good because I had a house full of people.
I was planning on doing something big for Shawn's b-day but I couldn't decide between going out to amarillo with a bunch of his friends or just doing something at the house. But last weekend a few of the guys thought that was Shawn's b-day weekend and they were ready to do something. So Shawn and I had them over Saturday night and since we had everyone over here a guy shawn works with and his wife are going to have Shawn's b-day party over there. So nothing for me to really worry about. I think that Friday before the plan is to have dinner with my parents or at least that is what Shawn mentioned to my dad lastnight.

Oh its official well unless something else holds me back but my graduation date is set Dec. of 08. God's timing is not always our timing. It will be different graduating at that time of the year, but pretty awesome at the same time, something different!




So today I am thankful for the changing of the seasons! God makes it so beautiful!

thankful

I am thankful and blessed for Husband that stands up for me. He loves me for me, he understands me, he doesn't care about other peoples opinions about me. He obviously has his own. He even moved across the southern part of the country for Me and FOR US and OUR FUTURE! I am thankful for our first two years of marriage and I can't wait to have children with him, raise our kiddos with him, and then watch them have children of their own, and grow even older with him!

awww life

School is starting to wind down but that just means more to do. I talked to my advisor and got some kind of iffy/ bad news. I guess since I want to graduate a semester earlier than I was suppose to I have to go get it approved from 3 different people. And she doesn't think they will approve it since it requires me taking 18 hrs next semester and 15 over the summer and they also look at your commute time and mine is over an hour and she says that isn't going to look good. So that kind of bites.. but I know I will eventually graduate...I know it will be no later than Dec of 08. I wish it was spring of 08...and who knows maybe it will be. Like I said before, I guess this is what happens when you change your major so many different times. I guess another postive is that I will have more time to focus on each class and hopefully can remain on my all A streak.
Not much of anything going on this weekend except school and work. I have to study for a test, get my part done for a group presentation, and catch up in chemisty. I think Shawn is going to the firing range (I hope that's what it is called?) on Saturday. He is going to a fire arms instructor class next week. Which brings overtime, but he will be leaving at 6:30 in the morning and getting back at 6:30 Monday-Friday and then he has to work half the night Friday and then Saturday and Sunday. So he won't get his Wednesday/Thursday off next week. Plus he has school work, but I think he is planning on doing that all this weekend.

This is a pic that was taken last weekend at the Rainforest Cafe.

And the question ya'll have been waiting for? What do you think of the new background? It took me from 6 to 10:30 to get it done. Explorer made me really mad because it closed out like 3 different times and I had to keep going back and editing...finally I started saving after every little edit. Then another reason it took a while was because I was talking to Nyki on the phone. Has anyone updated to the new blogger? I have I like it because you don't have to wait to republish. I went to there new form of templates and if you don't like using backgounds with pics and stuff it is really simple to use because you just click on colors and it does all of your html stuff for you. However I didn't understand all the coding in it so that is why I reverted back for now.

This month I want to end each post with something I am thankful for:

1. I am thankful for my parents, because with out them I wouldn't exist. :) That and I wouldn't be who I am today with out them. I am greatful that I was blessed with parents I can discuss anything with. I know no matter what I tell them, they will always love me for me and they will never try to change me. I am also blessed that they love my husband just like one of their own and even when there were people who thought Shawn wasn't going to make it in the police academy before he even began, they were very supportive and awesome supporters just as his own parents were.

Stay tuned for 2...

btw just incase you didn't know...if you dont like the song that is playing you can skip it and go on to another one and if you don't like any of them click on the square button. The way I see it this is Shawn and I's blog so don't send me emails about how you dont approve or like the music.

tired...

So today I am exhausted!!! So I have made it to where I can fall asleep between 12 and 1 which it works and I feel like I am getting more sleep but for some odd reason last night I was wide awake until 4. I think I finally fell asleep watching richie rich. I don't remember Shawn coming home at six, but I do remember the alarm going off at 8 so he could get up and get ready for court. Then the phone rang a little after that and I end up having to work today. Oh well I got a 10.00 gift card and extra hours out of it. Today was a beautiful day outside. But I did leave work with one of those uneasy feelings.
I know I haven't worked at my job that long but their are a lot of regulars which I guess is what happens with a small town. Well one guy J he is an older man probably in 50's maybe 60's anyway he normally comes in the evening and gets an ice cream bar and a coke. He eats his ice cream bar inside the store and usually talks to me or whoever for a good 30 minutes. Well during the week he comes in around 2:30 and gets a lil debbie cake and a coke and does the same thing. Today he tells me that this morning he found out that he has throat cancer and they will be removing it on Tuesday. Then his friend B comes in who is about the same age and he gets his diet drpepper and beef jerky and tells J and I that he found out this morning he has Colan cancer. I was at a loss for words, two guys in one day. I just kept having a flash back memory of when Stephanie told me her leukemia is back, and it made me sick to my stomach. All I can do is keep them in my prayers. It is just crazy...how one day your life can change in a moment. I mean I thought I have had major problems these last two weeks being sick but that's nothing compared to that.
So today I found out that I am working Thanksgiving evening and Christmas Eve, but the good news would be I get Christmas day off. Shawn works Christmas Eve and 6 hrs into Christmas day. Well I am going to go to bed...now that I have typed a novel.

NO fun!!!

Watching Shawn eat when I can't is not fun!!!!

What are you looking at?

Well we are off

in about 30 minutes~ Hope everyone has a great weekend.....I am wondering who is going to last longer....I slept from 3:30 to 5:00 and Shawn has been up working all night...it will be interesting!

Yea

So I was right and I have strep and guess what it got me? A shot in my rear! It hurt like crazy, it even made me cry. Anyway I shouldn't be contagious after today. Which is good since I missed school on Tuesday, I really don't want to miss tomorrow. I thought I would be feeling better today but I am not, I actually think I am feeling worse. Just thought I would give yall an update~

2 am randomness

Have you ever thought that you were completely over something just to disover by one small thing happening that the hurt and anger and the why questions come back? Does one ever really truelly get over something and move on?


btw...this has nothing to do between Shawn and I so don't go thinking that something is horribly wrong between us

Yea, so I think I have strep...I am going to the doctor tomorrow.... so no school for me. I felt fine when I went to work but by the time I got home I had a headache from hell, my throat hurts, my stomach is upset, and I have a fever. So I went to bed and now I find myself awake...and then I came across something that just got to me. I think only a few people would truely understand me on this one and I am sure if I get to feeling better tomorrow I will be talking to those people.

So....

What do you think about the new look?

I have lost 2.4 lbs. I know it isn't much but it means that I am on my way to shedding the lbs. I was doing so great before we moved here and then all of the sudden the weight I lost was back again...which is due to a number of reasons. I think one of the reasons was lack of sleep, which meant lack of energy to do anything. Anyway I am proud of myself! My goal is to loose 12 lbs by the middle of Nov. So that means 10 lbs to loose! I just wish I could find a work out partner here or something, it would make going to the gym easier. I like to go with Shawn but he likes working out at the PD with his work buddies and I really dont like working out in front of them.

Scarecrows are too cute to scare!

Can you say over stressed?

lol anyway, So I studied studied studied for most of the weekend and guess what? I think I over stressed myself for no reason. I knew the stuff. I do have to say that my hand did hurt writting out those essay questions. I never really understand the people that turn in an essay test with in 10 minutes. So I finished my essay test in 50 minutes and some people got done in 30 to 45 minutes and then there were like 10 people still taking when I left, but I just don't get it. lol I guess it isn't my grade. Anyway thanks for the prayers and I know you can do it! I am so glad Shawn is off tomorrow even though he will sleep most of the day. I got to see him for 5 minutes this morning I was gathering my stuff up and he was undressing and crawling in to bed. lol I guess the good thing was that I didnt have to make the bed! Then I didn't get home until 7 and he was at work at 6. The sad thing is, is that it will only get worse next semester and really bad in the summer. So I don't know if I told yall but it looks like I am graduating in Spring of 08 instead of December 08. Pretty much a year a way!

*Test day*

Yea so this really is test day!!! I walk in to chemistry to find out we are taking our test today instead of Thursday! Anyway she was nice and let us use the book but the book wasn't that much help since it was formulas, but I know I did great on the vocab. Can you believe that I am making a high A in this class. It feels great! So I know I should be studying but at this point I feel like I either know my information or I don't. And in my next class this is the first time I have ever taken one of her tests so if I don't do to well on it I will know how the next couple of tests are formated. I am not really worried about Dr. Thomas because I just realized that the essay portion counts for 40 points and I know that I know enough information to get 30 of those points. I can't wait until I am completely done with today! My next class is at 12:30 so pray for me, then I have my following class at 4 so pray for me again!

All about me and my hair lol

 

Help Help I'm drowning

A take home test due on Tuesday and two tests on Tuesday. One of them has a review that looks like a review for a final exam.... the other is all essay but you have to know research and who and what it says while answering the essay questions. Thats all for now...hopefully I can swim to the top. See ya Wednesday if I make it to the top.

Once again the sleepless nights come uninvited

However, it is different, I know the reason. But I don't really care to share right now, perhaps another post for another day. Long-long story and when I have more energy I might post about it. Just know that I always knew what being a cops wife meant, but experiencing some of it, is totally different than just knowing about it. And I am greatful to have two awesome loving parents that no matter what time of night/morning it is are totally there for me and I thank you very much for that!!!

Anyway, the reason I am posting is to vent...
My headliner on my myspace is the following pic:



So a person I will not name, just know this person is not yet married, sent me a message telling me she thought it was inappropriate for it to be my headliner since I am married and "supposed" Christian. And I should not post icons like that.

I just simply replied... Do you not plan on marrying your future best friend? Is God not one of your best friends, and who are you to decide whether or not someone is a Christian?

Their reply: I'm not stupid! I know that when I am married I will not put my bestfriends before my husband. That will make my marriage last longer than yours.

Okay I didn't reply tonight, because I had a feeling it would start an even bigger thing but here is my reply that I wanted to send... Obviously you don't get it. Shawn is one of my best friends, he is besides God the top priorities in my life. And Where in that icon does it say that I am putting my other friends before my marriage. And Where does it say that my marriage is in trouble or that it isn't going to last???? So I know people have different thinking patterns but really the icon is what it says, it isn't a piece of art work that has some underlining meaning behind it and who has time to try to analyze someones life by a simple icon they post? If you ask me maybe you should analyze your own life instead of mine, because really all you are doing is assuming and you the old saying that when you assume you are really just making a ... yea so hopefully you get the point.



So I am just curious what people get from the icon....what it says, or do you find yourself trying to analyze my life over it? Because maybe I am wrong and thats fine its just something I never expected over such a small pink icon.


So anyway I feel better that I have vented...
Here are the lyrics to my newest favorite song. It has been on there all day... maybe she should have listened to it. Okay enough about it!


"Isn't That Everything"
by Danielle Peck

I might not have a million dollars in the bank
But Ive got food on my table and gas in my tank
I might not have designer sheets on a king size bed
But I lay down at night with a roof over my head

Yeah Ive got friends who love me
And a big blue sky above me
And your two arm around me baby every night

Isnt that everything
I dont need anything
Its only the simple things I believe
That matter most in life
Im more than satisfied
All that I have is all I need
Isnt that everything

Im not saying I dont dream from time to time
Every girl I know loves the way a diamond shines
But when the partys over and the glitter starts to fade
Its all about your peace of mind at the end of every day

I know Jesus loves me
Up in that sky above me
I see that morning sun again and feel alive

Chorus

Yeah Ive got friends who love me
And a big blue sky above me
And your two arm around me baby every night
I know Jesus loves me
Up in that sky above me
I see that morning sun again and feel alive

not much of an update

Yesterday I was going to do the thursday thirteen thing and update, but blogger was acting up, and by the time it finally loaded I had 10 minutes before I had to leave for work. Anyway we are getting our first bedroom set today! I am so excited! We moved beds around lastnight we moved the twin bed that was in the 2nd bedroom to the back bedroom and then our bed to the 2nd bedroom. It actually turned out great in both rooms, I thought it would be way to crowded but it wasn't! We were up until 3 this morning doing that. Then we woke up about 9 and finished it. They are suppose to be here between 11:30 and 1:30 so we shall see. We told them before 3 since Shawn has to take a nap before he goes to work. School is going really fast, the next 3 weeks it is test after test pretty much. Oh I found a great find yesterday at a garage sale. There was an unopened queen comforter set and then the unopened sheet set, I could tell the brand was from walmart. The lady said she got it for her daughters room but her daughter hated it and she never went back to walmart. I got it for 25.00! Lastnight after I got off work Shawn met me at walmart because he needed a few things. So we went ahead a bought 2 new pillows and Shawn called me over to the other side of the bedding isle and that bedding was 54 (I think) for just the comforter set and then another 20 something for the sheets. I guess he really didn't believe me that I thought it was a great deal. At first I thought it was that he didn't like the bedding because it is a funky polkadoted pattern. But he said no he liked it, he thought I had just paid way to much for it at a garage sale. Anyway, we put that in on the bed in 2nd bedroom. I will post pictures as soon as our bedroom is put together and all of our clothes and stuff are out of the second bedroom. I should probably just take pictures of the whole house that way you can see the plate hanger in the kitchen and other stuff.
Minnie and Copper are doing great.

Well I have some homework that I was going to get to and then I remembered I hadn't updated this week.

Life just passing by....

This last week has gone by soooo fast! I can't believe it is already the weekend again.
Shawn and I finally celebrated our anniversary. He got us a suite at the Ambassador, it was Awesome!! They served us breakfast in bed, aww it was so wonderful! We stayed there Tuesday night, then on Wednesday I went and got my eyes checked and I now have classes to wear in class and if I think I need them to drive. She said I barely need them, but she thinks this will alleviate the headaches I get while taking notes off the boards and over heads in class. Thursday I just had a test in my class, so I didn't get to see if it worked or not, I guess we will see on Tuesday. Shawn switches to nights on Wednesday. Next week will be very interesting for him. Because he has to work all night Thursday gets off at 6 am Friday, but has to be at a class for work at 8am and go until 5 and then he is scheduled to work the football game Friday night at 7:30, and then today he got subpoenaed (sp?) to go to court on Thursday during the day after working all night on Wednesday. Surely that won't take all day. But I guess that means lots of over time. The following week he has another class for work that works the same way. Also in October or November he will be going to a week long class in Austin.
Oh yea, last Saturday Ashley Furniture was having this garage sale type thing. So Shawn and I went and met my mom and Meghan up there. That place was packed, but anyway, I found this black plate hanger thingy, well the other plate hangers were only marked down to like 15.99/19.99 and some other prices well the one I found didn't have any kind of sticker on it, so they told us to go stand in line. I love my husband, he stood in line for like an hour for me. Then after I looked around with Meghan and Mom, I went and joined him where we finally made it to the front and the lady didn't know what to charge and her boss really didn't know so he just looked at us and Shawn jokingly said how about 5.00's and the manager said okay. Anyway as soon as I get my chef plates on it I will take a picture. So here is the reason the line took forever...they had to enter everyone's information in the computer like they would for a big furniture sale so Shawn and I had to sign like 2 different form things and then they have to print off the copies all just for a plate hanger.
We have a new neighbor and she has a 4 month old part yellow lab mix female. Well yesterday she got in our yard and Minnie was just begging to go out and play, but the lady also has a male dog and right now we have to keep Minnie away from all males, so we went and checked and her male dog was still in the house so we let Minnie out and she was running around the yard with the puppy, then she was at the backdoor like she wanted in, so I let her in. She went and got her dog bone and wanted back outside. So we let her out, she took her bone over to the puppy and the puppy picked up and started running with it and Minnie would chase her. Then she would drop it and Minnie would pick it up and the puppy would chase her. It was really cute!! We misplaced the digital camera and by the time we found it they were done playing.

Well I need to go get ready for work!

7. It is hard adjusting schedules to see everyone, but at the same time it is a two way thing...
8. I have become a stronger and more independent

Wow 2 years!!!

I can't believe that on Monday, Shawn and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary! I was just thinking about where we were and how soo much has changed since then. I would have never thought a year ago that we would be living here. A year ago we had no idea what God had in store for us. I don't think it was even a definate at this time last year that Shawn was going to go to the academy. I remember trying with all my heart to trust God and whatever happened with Shawn going to the academy that everything would be alright, and you know what? It did, even though Shawn and I hardly saw each other we made it through that and I don't think we could have done that with out God's help! Here is a slide show that I made like a month ago. It has been on my myspace, but some of you have not seen it....

Anyway, lately I have been wondering if my sleep thing is God's way of getting me to talk to him more or something.... I kind of think the sleep thing is worsing. Lastnight, I felt bad because I had to pull over half way home so Shawn could take over driving. It really scared me. When we got home I went to bed, but 2 hrs later when Shawn and Minnie came to bed, I woke up and I was wide awake. I just don't understand it. My body is hurting and aching from being so tired and I just keep finding myself breaking down over the smallest things. Like yesterday, I hadn't seen my mom in like 2 weeks and I was just crabby to everyone including Shawn and I hate that because that is not who I am. So anyway, lastnight I just found myself once again crying and praying for sleep and just answers. Its not that I haven't prayed lately because I do, and this may sound crazy to some, but before I use to write/talk to God about my life and what is/was going on at the time and I don't think I have done that in the last month. So lastnight I pulled out my book of letters to God and I just wrote until 4:00 this morning. After I was done, I went and crawled into bed, and fast asleep I went, and I slept peacefully for 6 hrs, with out waking up every 2 to 3 hrs. Tomorrow I am making an appt with the doctor. It just scares me because I am not a pill taker and I am so afraid that he will put me on sleeping pills and the thought of me being on them makes me think that I am some what of a failure. I know you guys are probably tired of me talking about my sleeping problem but lately it just seems to be becoming a bigger and bigger problem in my life.

On to other news, I am already really busy with school. I guess I expected it to be like most semesters to where the first couple of weeks are kind of slow, nope, it is the 2nd week and I already have so much stuff due by Tuesday. One of the big things is that I have to type up this interview. We got a paper full of questions our future employers will be asking us and we have to answer them and it goes into our file and when we go to do our student teaching the principals/teachers of the schools we go to will be reading them. It looks like, if all goes to plan, I will be starting my methods in the fall and student teaching next spring so I will be graduating in may of 08, which is better than may of 2010. Not that I was expecting it to take me till 10 but sometimes it just felt like it. I could start my methods next semster but I would rather just finish up on the rest of my degree plan and just focus my time on methods and getting ready to take the tests for certification, because I am going to try and study so I can also get certified to teach technology classes and hopefully get both tests out of the way.

Shawn switches back to nights on the 20th and then he will go to days sometime in January. He is working the football game on Friday night for over time, which he is pretty excited about. Anyway, I have some reading for school I need to get done.

YUCK

When we got back from canyon this afternoon around 3:00 we discovered that our air conditioner is broken! So it is really really hot in this house. Which really sucks when you have a hard time sleeping anyways. I came home from working at pakasak and went to bed and I actually fell asleep before 1 and here it is after 3 and I am not wide awake, but I am awake enough that I can't go back to sleep. I tried reading for the last 3o minutes, but it is just soo hot! Hopefully the airconditioning people will be here in the morning! So far the first week of school has been great besides being tired. This morning or yesterday morning Shawn went with me and while I was in class, he was reading and doing some of his school work. It was nice to spend most of the day with him. I felt bad because I kind of dosed off and on the drive back today. But lastnight I didn't fall asleep until after 1 even though Shawn and I were in bed by 10:30. It was like I couldn't shut my mind off. Random stuff would just start popping up. I thought being in school would help, but I think it is just making me more and more tired even though I am loving my classes. I have even stopped watching tv in the bedroom because I have had a few friends tell me that is like a big no no or something and thats why I can't sleep. So I don't know? I don't think I have ever been this tired in my life.
Every summer I would go to church camp for a week. Pretty much the whole week except for probably one night we would stay up and it was pranks and raiding all night long back and forth and then we were up at 7 for morning devotion and breakfast. I could do that no problem. When my mom came and picked us up at the end of the week we would go home and crash the rest of the night in to Saturday afternoon. I feel like I have had a week like that over and over, with out the fun. Now, I just want someone to come and pick me up and take me home so I can sleep and sleep and sleep. I feel like I am going crazy or something, you would think me crying over not being able to sleep would help put myself to sleep but it doesn't help it just makes me even more tired. Anyway, I am going to go start reading chapter one for my EDSP class. I might as well do something productive.

Toodles~

Happy Friday

btw, it is time for all of my blogging people to update. It gets kind of boring reading the same thing over and over again.

Sleep Insomnia?

Shawn shocked me lastnight by telling me that if in a couple of weeks I am not back on some sort of sleep schedule that he is taking me to the doctor for sleep insomnia. Which lastnight I laughed about it. Someone had told me to take these sleepy time things that are suppose to make you tired I guess? They were like 2.00 at walmart for 24 capsels. I took 2 lastnight around 9:00, yea they didn't work, however I did fall asleep a little after 12:30. But I was also wide awake at 3:30. By the time I went back to sleep after I read for a while it was 5:00 so the alarm just went off at 5:15 and I crawled out of bed at 5:20. So of course this morning all I hear from Shawn is your going to the doctor if it doesn't stop. I guess, I didn't realize it has been going on since May. About the only 3 times I have fallen alseep and was able to sleep for long periods of time was when I took nyquil, but there is no way I am going to get myself addicted to that stuff, besides that I wouldn't be able to function during classes and such because it makes me drowzy for two days. Well last Friday I was able to get a pretty good nights sleep. We stayed at mom's and I went to bed a little after midnight and woke up at 9:30. But Shawn said that is only because the two nights before I had only gotten 3 to 4 hrs of sleep. UGH I don't know... I just think it would be silly going to a doctor because I can't sleep and I think the only thing they could do is give me sleeping pills and aren't those things known to be addicting and I am not trying to do anything like that.

So I left _____ at 6:15 and I got here at 7:30.... my class isn't until 8:40 but I didn't want to mess with parking after 8. So today is my long day I have class until 6:30 tonight. My schedule today:
8:40 to 10:40
12:30 to 3:00
4:00 to 6:30

I can only hope it will be a short classes since today is the first day but I was looking at the syllabus for my classes and it looks like we will cover a lot today in my last two classes. But they are only once a week, so I guess that is to be expected.
I worked at Pak-a-sak yesterday. It was pretty fun, except for going in to the freezer to restock stuff, I didn't like that part at all, but I guess it is part of the job. My last day at Hastings was suppose to be Sunday, but now I am on the schedule to work on Wednesday. Saturday I was suppose to work 2 to 6 but ended up working 2 to 12:30 because this girl decided she was going to pull a no show, I quit thing. People irk me when they do that!! Anyway, that is pretty much it for now.

Happy Birthday!!!

EEEE! :)

The PHONE CALL

So I called and finally talked to the senior pastor from this church. He acted like he was really concerned until the end of the conversation then I felt like he was just trying to get me to visit this church. I said I probably wouldn't visit the church and he then went on to talk about forgiveness. I guess he thought he could tell me to forgive her and then I would go to this church, whatever, sorry ummm no. Anyway, all I can do is pray that this lady gets talked to and learns from this. I am not really angry about this anymore, it is more concerned than anything. Just thought I would let yall know that I did call.

So anyway I started at pakasac today. It was fun!!! After the night I had lastnight at Hastings I wish I could have walked in and said I quit, but I am just too good to do that. So I will work Saturday and Sunday and then most likely say farewell to that place.

Well Shawn has a chat with his online teacher in a few minutes so I better get off of here!

Toodles~

What is a person to do????

Seriously, I think I have been erked today like I have never been erked before. I am usually one that can take and take and take, and just blow people off. Okay so you are probably are wondering what happened. Well it all started yesterday/ lastnight at work. This youth group from one of local churches came in. I had just spent 30 minutes straightning boutique well they went back there like they do every other sunday night and messed it up. Whatever, annoying as all get out, but really no big deal I just have to restraighten. Well, the youth pastor's wife is at the counter. And she asks me how long I have lived in this town, I tell her since the end of April/begining of May. She then says, "So your husband is one of the Rookies right?" I said yea, I guess you can call him a rookie? She says ya, I know who your husband is, he is the one that had an affair on you and now has a baby by another woman in town." I said no, my husband has only been working here since April. She then tells me I don't have to hide it, that everyone in the "elite circle" knows about it. I said, no I think you have him confused and as far as I know the other 3 people that were hired at the same time with him. One is married and has lived here all of his life, the other two are single parent fathers. None of them have babies. She then says well if you feel the need to keep lying to yourself, you go ahead, but the whole town is going to find out about it sooner or later. So I tell her when her movies are due back, (keep in mind there is a line of people behind her and of course they are listening) whatever! I am actually laughing about this woman and so is the girl I am working with. So, it really isn't until this morning when I was telling Shawn about it that I really got irrated, just because I could remember the way she acted about everything.

Okay first of all my thing is a youth pastor's wife~ with the youth group standing there listening and you are talking about this???? I know everyone makes mistakes but come on!!! Set an example!!!!

Secondly, after I said it is not him, don't just keep accusing me of playing dumb and my husband of something that he wouldn't do.

Thirdly, how does one get pregnant in March and end up with a 2 month old in August... it just doesn't add up....

Okay, so I go to work tonight, and about an hour until closing she comes in to return the movies she brought back. The girl at the counter asks her if she would like her to check them in. She says no. I am walking up to the front and she asks me to check in her movies. The other girl I was working with kind of looked at me funny. So I am checking her movies in and she says so did you tell your husband that everyone in this town practically knows about his affair and his child. I said, no you have him mixed up with someone else as far as I know, no one on his shift or at the PD has recently had an affair on their wife. She then tells me that denial is not good for a person because it causes more pain later on in life. (Okay my irration level is going up and up at this point) I then said you can believe what you want to believe but the truth is, is that you don't know me or my husband. Then I asked her if there was anything I could help her with. She says well I just want you to know that my husband and I council couples and try to help them with their marriage problems, here is our card. (Irratation/anger at extreme level, about to explode) I took the card and ripped it up and threw it in the trashcan right in front of her. Then I said excuse me I have work to do. She followed me while I was putting rentasl up and she says can I say a prayer of peace for you. (can you see the smoke coming out of my ears???) I said do whatever you feel the need to do, but while your praying why don't you say a prayer for yourself! I then went straight to the bathroom. She actually left another card with the girl I was working with and asked her to invite me to that church on sunday. I think my coworker knew I pissed and I said please don't tell me you believe any of that, and she said that she hadn't heard anything like that and she doesn't see Shawn doing that. I said I KNOW for a fact that Shawn is not doing that.

I seriously feel like calling the senior pastor of this church. You dont get church members by going and running your mouth about something when in fact it is nothing but lies. When I came home Shawn knew I was mad. I think he was mad because this lady showed up like 10 minutes after he left, but it was probably good that he did leave. I wonder if this lady would have accused Shawn to his face. I wouldn't doubt it just because she kept telling me I was in denial.

But seriously who does that???? I know this town isn't like this. For the most part this town has been nothing but nice to Shawn and I. I have heard some town gossip but it is mainly about a persons business closing or not closing. I mean I hear stuff from Shawn, but never any names, or anything like that.

I guess I just feel like me, shawn, and our marriage was attacked! Normally I can blow these things off, but maybe it is the fact that she is a pastors wife. What is she trying to do build up the number of couples she coucils, by trying to start something that has no truth to it at all. I seriously don't know whether to drop it. I just have a feeling that she will keep going in the store just to see if I am working.

Anyway, we really didn't do much this weekend, except work and sleep. Shawn and I went to Amarillo to get his books and canyon to get my books. His online classes started today. I am actually excited to start school next Monday. Anyway, my head is hurting, probably due to the rise in bloodpreasure. I don't think I have ever had a problem with my blood preasure being high, but I am pretty sure it got to that point tonight. God has blessed us with lots of rain! It has been so nice!

I hope everyone has a peaceful week!

Toodles~

have I mentioned that Nyquil and I don't mix...

If you read the post below, you would have seen that I had a headache last night, instead of taking 2 nyquil I took one, well I tried to cut in half but really it was more like 3/4 and a 1/4 so yea, I took the bigger one. Big mistake I got up at 5 b/c of Shawn and then I went back to bed and woke up at 10:30 when work was calling. I finally crawled out of bed around 11. I thought I was doing pretty good, went and took a shower, got ready for the day, and now it is 3:38 and I am sooo sleepy again and I am starting to get another headache! Anyway, I am going to take a nap. I hope I hear the alarm clocks and get to work by 6. I was back to my normal sleep schedule. Anyway I am off to take a nap~

It's Thursday

This week is going about just as fast as last week. I was suppose to work tonight, but one of the girls wanted more hours and I gladly gave them today's shift. Lastnight at work was sooo dead, which was good and bad. I had a really bad headache and the other person I was working with had some family issues going on so mentally she really wasn't there. I felt bad because she was actually called in to work for another person. Anyway, we had like 500 books that were recieved yesterday since they are expanding the stores book section. I quickly found out that the two people that supposedly alphad the book section 1) either have no idea what the alphabit is or 2) they just don't know it in the right order and they need to go back to pre-k. I keep telling my boss that he needs to get the border of the alphabet and hang it up somewhere, that or make them sing it. So anyway, needless to say, I didn't get very far in to the books. Although I did get them out of the boxes on to the cart catogorized and alphaed correctly. It was just putting them away, I ended up alphing 2 sections lastnight. Then around 9 a phone call comes in and it is the floor people who are wondering if they are coming. My boss did not tell me anything about it. So I call him and he is like oh ya the floor people will be there at 10:55 to do the floors. I then ask so how long does that take and he says oh 2 1/2 -3 hrs. GREAT! He knew I had a headache so he got up there at 12:30 to sit for the last hour to two hours. It was still soo boring though, and I don't think putting up books helped my headache any. So one good thing about leaving this job is no more alphing projects :).

The beauty control party I had Tuesday night turned out great. It was fun and relaxing. Iris is coming up to see the house today. I am making lemon chicken with herb rice for dinner. Shawn starts school on monday, he is taking 4 online classes. I start next monday- well actually tuesday :). Can you believe we are coming up on our 2nd wedding anniversary. If time keeps going this fast it won't be too long until I am an actual teacher and have a kiddo or two running around. I can't wait for all of that too happen, but I am not rushing any of it.

So the otherday, I was working on a new background and I was going through all of my trial and error pics and deleting them, well I deleted that one. So, I just did this one. Anyway, if you don't see your link send me an email. Shawn was cleaning up the computer the other day and deleted a folder full of my old templates. I will also probably be adding and taking away things for a while.

Oh I use to have one of these long ago, but for the life of me I can not remember my password and the email addy I used to do it. So please take the time to fill it out. If you have kiddo's enter in there birthday!

Whoa What A Week~

So here is kind of last week in a review.......

Monday- I think we just stayed home and cleaned up the house and then I went to work.

Tuesday- We went to Amarillo/Canyon. Helped my brother get his school stuff together. Oh keep my brother in your prayers he is going to try to walk on WT's baseball team?
I think we ate lunch with Nanny and PawPaw. Hmmm....we went to my parents house, then Shawn went out to Nanny and PawPaw's house, while I went to Walmart with Meghan, then I fell asleep at my parents house, until my mom came home from work. Then I spent time with them. Drove back that night with Meghan. She stayed the night.

Wednesday- Shawn went to work, I was lazy laid around and watched tv all day, and Meghan went home.... however, I did cook dinner that night.

Thursday- Shawn came home told me that the owner of PakaSak wanted to talk to me about a job? I went to work, worked till close......

Friday- Early morning....went to Pakasak got a job offer paying better than hastings(never filled out an application) and I would only be closing 2 nights a week..... so ya I took it..... went to Amarillo to a friends yard sale, then Shawn and I took Megs out for lunch.... well sorta see I had a hair apt at 2 and the restaurant's kitchen was backed up so Meghan drove me to the hair place went back and ate with Shawn. They got my food to go... Oh ya, soooo instead of getting low lights, I just went for dying my hair a darker color. I absolutely love it!!! I will get a pic up soon... ( I was going to get a picture today but the camera batteries were dead :( ) We got back Friday around 5:30 and I went straight to work. Shawn started painting the second/middle bedroom. I got home around 1:30 am and went to bed.

Yesterday (Saturday), I got up and went to work from 9 to 12:00 we finished painting the bedroom, went to walmart, I got a dark reddish curtain (it matches the red color in my chef stuff) and curtain rod to go over the pantry doorway. Then we got a dark reddish rug, tolietseat cover, and hard ware (toliet paper holder, towel bar, ect...) for the bathroom across from that door way. I think it is cute!! now if we can just get the wall paper out of the other bathroom. Then I went to work at 6. Called the cops on some kids that were trying to steal stuff. People are sooo stupid!! Anyway, Shawn's sergeant was having a get together at his house with his shift and the night people on that shift. (speaking of which, Shawn will be switching to nights in a few weeks) One of the girls I closed with followed me home and took me to Shawn, that way we only had one vechile over there. I laughed alot, had fun, and I met more people which is always good.

Today~ Slept in until about 10,then we got up, went and put gas in the gas can, raked the front yard, mowed the front and back yards, weededed?, watered, and put the middle bedroom back together. I went to work at 5 and Shawn relaxed.


Other tidbits of info or stuff that I feel like sharing....
1)So on Friday I put in or at least tried to put in my 2 week notice.... well in two weeks another gsm is taking vacation and with out me there that only leaves two people (managers) to run the store. So as long as I work at least 6 hours every two weeks I can keep my discount there... I am at least going to try help them out while the other gsm is on vacation, but I let him know that if I say I can't do it with school and that other job then I can't do it and I will have to leave for good. He said he understands the money thing, but I am a very valuable employee, I told him he could bump up my pay, then today I found out that he actually tried but his management won't approve it.... so anyway we shall see how this all works out....

2) So today I am in the restroom at work, which is located through a door at the end of the hall. So I hear the big door close and I thought it was one of the gsa's putting up her vest. But then I hear this giggling and then it stops..okay whatever... So when I open the door I was not expecting to see a guy and a girl in this hallway, and the guy has his hands up this girl's shirt. The girl looks about 15/16 and the guy 16/17... so all I can think of to say is Can I help you, well then they try to go in to the bathroom, so I immediately say you are not going into the bathroom together, so the girl mumbles "b****" under her breath and they both walk out of the hall. So I go up front, there is a line and I start checking people out and this lady walks up and says Do you know what they are doing, so I peek in to the office to look at the computer screen with the cameras and those two are making out and then I notice what the lady is talking about he has his hand down her pants and at the end of the isle is probably about a 4/5 year old girl standing there watching them~ So I radio to the gsa I have on the floor and she says excuse me to them and the girl says what the F* are you starring at... so I tell the girl and the guy that they need to leave the store. About 45 mins later her comes her and her mom. Her mom is screaming at the gsa that said excuse me to her. So I get up to the front and she says that we had no reason to kick her 14 year old, yes 14 year old!!! out of the store just because she didn't have an adult with her. So she really isn't letting me get a word in at all and there are several customers around. I am sure my face was red, the lady was soo mad at us, that half of what she was saying was in english and half was in spanish. The girl is just standing there smirking and then her mom said something in half eng half spanish and the girl lets out a laugh. I guess that was my blowing point. So I just ignored the mom who was still going on about her daughters rights and looked straight at the girl and said do you want to tell your mom what really happened or do I need to show what the cameras got? The girl all snottys says something to the extent of you don't have any real cameras. It was my pleasure to lead this mother of her daughter that is such an angel that never does anything wrong.....to the office where I rewound the screen and showed the mother exactly what her daughter was doing. I really didn't think the ladys face could get any more redder or her daughters face anymore whiter. Did we get a I am sorry from the mother? Nope...but I think that was because she was so embarrassed and mad all at the same time.... lets just say the cameras in the store showed more than I even knew or thought had gone on, but I will say that they never had actual intercourse. About 20 minutes before closing the boy's mom showed up to see the tapes. Her son did not want to go in to the office. She apologized for her son's behavior and she too had an awful face color when she left the store. So we should have gotten out of the store at 10:30 but since that took up sometime we got out of there at 11:30.
I guess when I seen them in the hall I got them out of there because I was thinking I am not going to be responsible for this teenager getting pregnant while I am on the clock in this store, but at the same time I could soo see her mom trying to blame the store because her daughter got pregnant. Also her age really gets me.... 14 and acting like this in public~ I don't even want to know what goes on in private.

Anyway just like last week I am soo glad to be off the next two days!!! Tuesday I am having a beauty control/spa party in Amarillo. I am also in the middle of doing a new background/template....

I am going to bed now....

sorry for the spelling~

Toodles~
