9 to 5

I had orientation tonight at my new job. Filled out all my paperwork, and I have another training class tomorrow! I get my first check like next week, true it won't be very much but I'm making some and that's the important part! I also found out that I still have this weekend off so Joshua and Jason can still come out! I miss all my friends but those two are the ones that I talk to the most so I'm very happy to see them. Mom and dad are still leaving either Wednesday or Thursday. I'm hoping Wednesday! It'd be nice to have some time away from them. I helped mom pack the truck today. I'm almost certain that she's packed everything including the kitchen sink. I just hope she needs everything and that all goes well for them.
It's supposed to be so nice tomorrow! Like in the 90's. I might wear shorts tomorrow, but I'm still pretty white so you never know. I need some serious sun, but hopefully I won't burn like my shoulders did. But I think it did leave a nice looking tan. I always have to been careful when I'm in my sun, especially on my shoulders. I have sun bumps, and I burn very easy. I guess it's a mild form of a sun allergy.
I'm not going to be up late tonight since I have to be at work at 9 am for my first training class. I got two classes tomorrow. I should be done by like 2 pm or so. I don't remember exactly. But I will have to fill up the gas tank tomorrow. I'm at half a tank right now. I should be able to get to Garden City and back on that.
My friend Josh said that he might be able to pick my up some clear lip rings. That way I can still wear my lip ring at work but it's not as noticeable, but I can't take my ring out for too long or else it will close up and that would be throwing forty dollars down the drain. At least here at this company they aren't as pushy with the dress code as Starkey was. I have show any or all tattoos as long as they aren't offensive, and they really don't care about piercing as long as they are tasteful and not offensive. I can wear shorts, as long as they aren't shorty shorts. But I can't wear any flip flops or sandals. I have to wear closed toe shoes. I'll have to buy some new sneakers sometime soon. The ones I have are good but just a little worn in. I normally wait until they're falling apart, but comfort is key. Maybe I just need new inserts. That's probably it. Maybe tomorrow after work I'll take another walk around the zoo. I wanna see if I can get a photo of the Mountain Lion. It's my favorite animal. I know it's not the typical animal but they're so beautiful, and they really are the calmest of all the big cats. I think they part I love most about them is their eyes! Big, golden brown! I did a report on them in the sixth grade. I think I got an A, but I really don't remember. I was always a good student, and I guess I always liked school. I wont' to go back and get my CMC, CNA, or even my RN. But for sure my CMC, and CNA. That way I get a job working pretty much anywhere in the medical field. But only time will tell just how that goes.

Monday Monday!

In a way I'm copying my friends title, but I just heard the song playing on my computer. I don't know if that's exactly what it's called but it's sung my the Mama's and the Papa's. I really like them, it's too bad that one lady had to die.
Tomorrow I start my new job and I couldn't be happier or more excited. I worked on straightening my so that tomorrow it's not so hard to do. I do like my curls but they make my hair so hard to deal with. Oh the feeling of straight hair! Straight hair people don't know how awesome it feels to run you fingers through your hair with no knots or rats or anything to stop you. And it feels so soft too! I thought about getting highlights actually, but a dark blonde color so it looks more natural.
I baked a cake tonight too! I really do like baking, but I don't think I could do it everyday.
Well for once I think I'm done with today's' post. I know a miracle that I didn't take up nine pages, but it does happen. Mark you calendars!

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!

I got a call from Annette at Mosaic!! I start my new job Tuesday night at 6 pm!! I must say I didn't scream, mom and dad were home but I did run back to my room and jump a few times on my bed.
Today was a pretty good day too, besides the job offer. Woke up and mom was cooking breakfast. I'm glad she cooked the bacon today, it wasn't burnt! Dad worked on the boat some more today, and fixed all the poles that he's going to be taking with them. New lines, and jigs, etc. Mom is organizing the list of all the clothes, groceries, and everything else they might need. She's a big list writer, and it's a good thing too. She's known for always forgetting important items when going on trips. A couple of years ago they went up to Wilson Lake just like they are next weekend, and mom forgot to pack the tent poles for the tent. So they ended up buying this really little three person tent that was just big enough for the two of them. I wish we had a video camera, it was a site to see. We could have been America Next Funniest Video 10,000 dollar winners!
Mom and I went into town to get a few things, and her and I finished emptying out grandmas house. Afterwards, mom bought us some ice cream. She got me a large, but I only wanted a small. I couldn't finish all of it if I tried. Especially after all that hard, long, and hot work. A cold rush of sugar and ice cream isn't quite what I was wanting. Didn't want to make myself sick or anything. Now we're just wanting to have the auction at my great aunts house and we'll put all the stuff from the garage in that auction to sell as well. Then everything will be done!!
Well other then doing all the heavy lifting today it was pretty boring around here. I stayed in the house, it's been windy all day, but sunny which is always nice. Well tomorrow I'm going to just make sure all my stuff is done and I have everything ready to take with me to my first day of work Tuesday. Make sure my clothes I want to wear are ironed and look nice, and see if I can find my clear lip ring, so that I can really make a good impression. I'll have to try and straighten my hair, it's not hard but it just seems to take forever. Well I should have pleasant dreams tonight even without thinking about a cute man, but who knows one or two might pop in there too. lol jk!

Cold

Today was very, very cold! I stayed home and in doors most of all day. I wasn't really being lazy, I did do some house chores. Swept the floors, cleaned the bathrooms, ironed my dad's work clothes, put food in the bird feeders, and helped momma cook dinner, and set and clean the table, and do the dishes.
Dad worked on the boat today, got a new horn to put on it before the big fishing trip next weekend. Finally an extended weekend away from them. I could really use the break. My friend Jason said that he might be able to come out and see me that weekend too. It'd be nice to see a friendly face. Josh said he wants to come see me too, but hopefully I'll be working soon, and if so I don't want him to to drive all this way for me to work and not see him. Wouldn't be financial fair and I'd want to spend as much time with him when he comes, not just a few hours, but then again I'll take what I can get. But it is a five hour drive, so it really isn't fair to the driver, well anyway. Mom and dad bought supplies to take with them when they go. Grandpa, Uncle Larry, and Jay, Larry's friend, are going to. They're going to meet mom and dad up there at Lake Wilson. Mom doesn't know yet if she wants to leave Wednesday night or early Thursday morning, I'm hoping Wednesday, and I'm praying for good fishing! The more fish the longer they'll stay Sunday before coming back. Plus the bigger the fish fry when they return. Actually they usually have a fish fry for their anniversary. It's on the 4th. of July. I was told that dad was working in the oil fields at the time and the only days off was big national holidays, so it was then in July or waiting til thanksgiving. I think they made a good choice. Fireworks are so pretty! But I'll still take Christmas over any other holiday in the world. I love buying gifts for everyone that I love. The lights and decorations! It's the one time of year that everyone is in good spirits and seems to care more for everyone else then themselves. So often people lose sight of what should really matter in the world, and that's sad.

Tired and Bored

I decided to post early tonight. I didn't get much sleep last night, it started getting very windy and rainy. Plus, my stomach was upset all night and my arms were very itchy, but they are both much better today. I did find some liquid benedryl lotion to put on my arms and I took some claritin. It helped me sleep a little better.
Today, I drove mom into town to pick up some groceries and we ate lunch with dad at a Mexican restaurant. We all had the taco special, but mine was crispy and they had soft. After lunch I drove back home, did my laundry and changed my sheets to a pretty yellow pair.
Mom and dad had another meeting tonight so I think I'll just have some leftovers tonight for supper. It's pretty boring out here. It's still very windy and it makes it rather cold outside. I would go out for walk, but it's just too cold and I'm too tired. I haven't yet heard from Mosaic about my next interview. I know Annette told me that they were having a fundraiser this week and things were kinda crazy, so hopefully by the first time next week I'll hear back from her.
Earlier around 4:30, Tyler finally responded to me on messenger. To make a long story short I told him if he can't tell me the truth and stop making excuses to see a friend then he would lose out on one of the best friends he will ever have. He said it was just easier to have a friend ship through a phone or messenger, he was a afraid that I might be scared of him or something, he said he was too lonely and too vulnerable to meet me in person. I told him that those were the dumbest excuses I'd ever heard of. He told me it'd be at least three or four months before he'd be willing to see me in person. I told him again that that's the dumbest thing I'd ever heard of. I told him that when he wanted to grow up I'd be here to be his friend. He told me he'd never grow up, and I told him then that I couldn't be friends with a liar or someone that would make excuses not to see someone friends or not. I deleted his phone number and both of his messenger names.
Today my best friend, Joshua, got into an accident. He called me on his lunch break from work. He said he was OK, but he was in his dads car. I kinda got choked up, but I'm really glad he's OK. I know a car can always be fixed, but a single life can not. Being a health care worker, I always feel bad for anyone that's hurt.
Well I'm hungry so I'm gonna get something to eat, and take a nice, long, hot bath tonight before bed.

Whoa Momma!

Well today I cleaned a little around the house. Mom got home around 10:30 this morning and already started bitching at me. I had already swept the floors, did the dishes, and started the laundry. But she didn't care. Sometimes I feel the harder I try to please her the more it back fires on me.
I did take my car into town to auto body shop to get fixed. Said it would take about a week or so. Paint, parts, and labor Brian from BK Auto said it would only be about 3000 to fix. That's pretty good. Paint and labor are the killers. But as long as it gets fixed who really cares. In my mean time I've been using my moms Mercury Sable to drive around. It's a pretty good car, but I wish it had a CD player. The music stations in this area suck ass! I normally listen to 99.9 it's a rock station. They play mostly classic rock but play a new rock single about once an hour.
After we got the car dropped off, my mom picked me up and I drove. She bought me a frosty from Wendy's. Then we went to the post off, she works there. There's a man that drives a route from Dodge, Garden and to Tribune and then back to Dodge four hours later. His name is Jarad. He's super tall like 6'7" I think, breathe taking bright blue eyes, no too skinny, and nice arms, he wear tight wrangler jeans everyday. He so sweet, and smart. My mom has been trying to get him to go out with me for the longest time, but I don't think that I'd be his type of woman. He's so cool though, I could see him and I kickin' it watchin' a game and drinkin' a beer. Well I told my mom that she needed to stop trying to play match maker, and she took it so wrong and got pretty upset. I think that's why she's so upset tonight. After watching CSI, I had to go outside and take a walk. I sent a few text messages, and talked to my friend Jesse a little bit. After about an hour, I went back up to the house.
Oh well, I hope I get a call back tomorrow from Mosaic for my interviews and screenings. Hopefully my arms won't be as damn sore and itchy as they were today. I wanted to rip them off today, but I kinda need them, but I know that's just sign that they are healing. There's a lot of storms north of here tonight, makes the sky very pretty to watch. I hope the storms aren't too bad and that everyone that is involved in them tonight is OK. Thoughts and prayers!

Ouch!

OK, yes I forgot about the blog post yesterday so I apologize if today is specially long in length, but I'm going to try to do a two day summary. So here goes!
Yesterday was a great day overall. I got up early so that I could drive to Garden City for the Job Fair. I was supposed to spend the morning with a friend of mine, Tyler, but he couldn't get off work. Then he told me that I couldn't hang out with him cause he and a friend went golfing, but instead he lied to me about the whole golfing thing. He just didn't want to hang out. Normally this wouldn't bother me, oh well someone doesn't want to hang out. What bothers me is that he made up a golf game and was lying. If he truly wanted to be my friend there's no reason for him lying to me. Anyone that knows me knows that I am one of the most honest people that they or anyone else will ever meet, and therefore I in return would demand that from those I meet. Honesty is a make or break with me. I'd like for those that know me or have meet me be able to say that I was always honest with them and that I never lied, with the exception of Grandma's cooking. She had a tenancy to burn things and forget important ingredients, but she did try and that's the important part.
Well since I didn't go with Tyler I spent a good amount of time walking around the Garden City Zoo, Lee Richardson Zoo. I should have worn a t shirt instead of a tank top. I got one killer sun burn. But stupid me I knew that would probably happen. I burn very easily, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it turns into a tan, but I doubt it. The worst sunburn I have ever gotten was in Burwell Nebraska when I was a kid in 1992. It was for my mother's side of the family family reunion, Partridge Family. Yes like the TV show, but we don't drive around a brightly colored bus lol! I remember we spent ALL day outside, first mistake. Then while crying I managed to put on this pretty nice black dress for the family photos. After the photos they always play cards and I wanted to change. My arms were so burnt, sore, and stiff from staying in that dress for so long I couldn't raise my arms up high enough to take it off. My mother ended up using my dad's pocket knife to cut the dress off of me. It was a fun reunion, but not so fun week after. We got advice and every home remedy for treating a sun burn. My mom eventually took me to the doctor where they told us I had a two degree sunburn, and they gave my mother some extra extra strength aloe vera lotion, and I have to keep cool wraps on my body for about two days after that. It sucked! I know this one isn't that bad, but it does sting and I'm a little sore. Plus, I LOVE animals and I wanted to walk around and see them all. Since my moms' cat died, it was nice to be around them and feed a couple lol!
Around 1 pm yesterday I did attend a Job Fair. I walked around many of the booths they had and one in particular caught my attention. It's a company called Mosaic. I filled out an application and handed it to a gentleman. He looked it over and asked me if I was busy, of course I said no. I was a job fair looking for a job, I had all the time in the world lol! He took me to meet a woman named Annette. I sat down and the man left the room and closed to door behind him. After a quick glance at my application we sat around and she told me that she was VERY interested in me as an employee and wanted to do an in person interview right then and there. I thought this is AWESOME! And then I thought oh great I look like crap. Jeans, tank top, my hoodie was one over my tank top, tennis shoes, my hair was a mess, no make up. Just a bad appearance, overall. But we talked and laughed for about an hour and a half, and she loved me. Told me she would definitely forward my application to her supervisor and be in contact tomorrow if not before the end of the working day. Well I didn't get a response this morning so I called her just after lunch and she called me about about 3pm today. She said that she spoke with her supervisor and if I am as good as she was describing me he didn't need my interview and trusted her to make the right decisions. She asked if I would be available for a spontaneous, like interview if she called me and said can you be here in two hours. Of course I said yes I could do that, and I reminded her that I do live in the country and live in Scott City. She said that was fine. I got excited and I'm glad no one was home cause I started to scream and jump up and down, after we hung up. She said that when I get called in, I'd of course want to look nice, but she wanted to do my person interaction interview, how well I act with person served, a drug screening, and a physical assessment. So yes dressy, but functional to do a physical assessment as well. I think I can swing that lol! She said as long as everything passes I can start orientation as soon as Monday! YAY!! So I told my mom and dad when they got home. They went to another meeting tonight so I was home alone again. But two of my favorite shows are on Monday nights. Ghost Hunters on SciFi, and American Idol! DAVID COOK IS SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh he's so hot, and he can sing!!! Plus, through many of the interviews he's been on I know he's single and 25 and from Oklahoma!!! Oh man more great dreams! lol!! jk! It's very windy today, and this evening it's been very rainy. I love rain, but it's going to make it cold tonight, it'll feel good on my arms, but not my legs. Extra blankets!!
Tonight I also made a spice cake, and I made a homemade butter cream icing. It was pretty damn good, if I say so myself. lol! Feel free to kiss the chef, or baker in this case lol!
