Better Days

Siiiiiiigh!  I survived another long work week.  Today wasn't that bad actually.  But I still don't think this will be my career.  Not that there's anything wrong with my job, other than the fact it's not my favorite, it's just not what I want to do with my life.  I like to be out and about in the world working and not closed up in an office all day long.  The Lord just didn't make me an office type of girl.  Oh to go back to the days of being a lifeguard, spending my days by the pool and getting a tan, and getting paid to do it... the good life.  BUT hopefully in November I will get to try out an all new career adventure and I'm sooooo excited.  Just gotta get the gear I need and take a lesson from a really amazing, sweet girl and I'll be ready to go.  I can't wait!!  Brad told me of a saying his grandmother used to tell him and it's so true.... "Find a job you love to do and you'll never work a day in your life." 

I'm looking forward to a lazy weekend and I'll finally have time to clean this house!  I got used to having all the time in the world to clean while I wasn't working and now I am too exhausted by the time I come home from work.  So that's what I plan on doing on my Saturday.  Sounds fun, huh?! 

Last Saturday I went shopping with my mom and I had such a great time.  We never get to do that anymore.  Before I was married, my mom and I went shopping together just about every other weekend.  We spent a lot of time together and I loved it.  But now it's hard to get the time to do it because I only get to visit her about once a month.  I miss our shopping days together.  We hadn't been since probably last march. 

 I wish we lived closer to family... I know I say that a lot, but I never stop wishing it.  I'm missing my niece and nephews growing up.  Zoe started preschool today!!!  I can't believe it!  It seems like just yesterday she was bald and toothless, haha.  And Peyton has grown even more!  He's as big as Zoe and he doesn't look like a toddler anymore, he looks like a boy.  Jonah, I don't even know where to start with him.  One weekend I went to visit and he couldn't even crawl, then next time I saw him he was crawling everywhere, and the next time he was walking!  WALKING!  And now he's 15months old.  Seriously?  I thought he was born like 6 months ago... 

Okay, so I know I've mentioned halloween before, but OH MY GOODNESS I got SOOOO EXCITED to see that SPIRIT Halloween is now open!!  It wasn't even there 2 days ago and today when I drove by, there it was!  I CAN'T WAIT to go in there!  I feel embarrassed that I get so excited about Halloween, especially because it's more than 2 months away, haha.  But let's just face it, I've been shopping online for halloween stuff for about a month now.  It excites me so much.  Last year I bought a fog machine and I can't wait to use it this year.  I didn't get to use it much at my party last year because it was indoors and it kinda stinks, but this year I have an all new plan.... Oooooo I'm excited.  I already have my house decorated in my mind.  Yup, this might be the best halloween party yet!  People are usually shocked to find out that I love halloween, I guess because I'm not a dark person?

Well, I suppose I'll take my pup on a walk.  She's giving my pitiful eyes.  I hope you all have a great weekend!  Peace out blogger friends!

Uuugh!

This is a neverending week.... Please Lord, let me wake up in the morning and it be SATURDAY!!!  But more importantly, Lord, let me just wake up. Thank you, Amen. 

I thought that maybe, just maybe work would get a little better for me seeing as how I've been for 5 weeks now.  5 WEEKS!!  Already!!  But I still hate it.  It still stinks.  And honestly I feel like I know less about my job today than I did in my 2nd week.  Just when I started to feel confident at my job, I realize that I wasn't taught everything that I needed to know and so I'm even more confused now than I was before.  How the heck does that happen?  BUT I guess I'm just happy to even have a job.  This is only temporary until my future career presents itself to me... whenever that may be. 

Brad's birthday was yesterday... and a happy day (after 4:30) it was!  I took him to our favorite mexican restaurant and of course I had to tell them it was his birthday.... SOOOO the waiters sang to him and made him wear one of those huge sombreros, haha!  And they brought him an yummy delicious dessert that we shared.  We went shopping at the mall and he picked out his birthday gift (a new tree stand.)  I knew that's what he wanted and I just don't know anything about tree stands, so he had to pick it out.  He's so excited about it... it's like Christmas time, haha.  He's cute.  : )  And he's mine, yay!  And thank goodness he's turned a year older.  (For those of you that don't know, he's a year and 10 months younger than me and he never lets me forget it.)  He applied for his dream job today, so please say a prayer for him to get an interview... I know he wants it reaaaally bad.  Plus if he gets it then we would get to move back towards Knoxville, yay!!  Johnson City, I love you but you're not my home. 

Well people.... I'm exhausted from a long and stressful day.  Have a wonderful weekend!! 

Just Take A Deep Breath

Another two weeks have gone bye, big surprise!  However, my days have slown down since I started working... I knew they would.  I guess first off I'll tell you that my job sucks.  Yup.  It's no fun and very, very stressful.... AND a doctor has already made me cry at work (BIG jerk!)  So to say the least, I'm looking for my next career.  I get sick to my stomach when it's time to go back there.  No joke, I really do.  That's a first for me.  I've had jobs that I don't like before, but they never made me sick to my stomach when I thought about going back to them.  The girls I work with are really nice, but when you work for 30+ doctors it gets a bit hectic.  But no worries... my future secret plan is still in the works!  Just waitin on November so I can get some great training! 

This last week has been very emotional for me... not only because the job, but because it was my Nan's birthday on the 28th.  She would have turned 66.  She died too young and I didn't get enough time with her.  I miss her so very much! 

BUT this weekend was very relaxing.  My hubby and I spent the entire weekend just hanging out watching movies and taking long walks... and of course we had to throw in a few hours floating on the lake.  It's been a great weekend to catch my breath. 

I can't believe that it's already August!!  Wow!  And I'm already planning my halloween party, haha!  But it's not totally my fault... Stores are already putting out their halloween supplies and decor and seeing that halloween is one of my favorite holidays, it's hard to resist!  I just can't help myself!  I loooove it so much.  I'm planning a big shin dig this year with the boggtrotters.  I can't wait!  Last halloween I had my 25th b-day party (which was a blast!)  But this year I'm going even bigger!  Oooooo I can't wait.... I would start decorating my house now if people wouldn't think I was a freak, or a witch.  Most people act this way with Christmas, but for some odd reason Halloween is was gets it for me.  There are no explanations other than I love to dress up and I love candy. 

I hope you all had a great weekend!!  And say a little prayer for me that works goes well for me this week OR that I find a job that I will love.  :-)  I'll leave you with my favorite moment from The Office... it always makes me smile no matter how many times I watch it... take a peek!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX7iwwB9zQ4&feature=related
