Thanksgiving was great!

Christmas, here we come!
On Wednesday, I worked. I went home, picked up the hubby and we drove 2hrs, 45 min to Hanford, CA to spend the night with my Grandma. Then next day we went to breakfast at IHOP. Then we dropped off Grandma at home and the two of us went to my cousin's house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was us, my Aunt Nina, Uncle Dave, Cousin Roddy and his wife Kim, their kids, Brianna and Joseph. There was also a neighbor kid named Jonathan and Kim's parents. And one other lady that I don't remember her name or relation (sorry).
We ate til we were stuffed then we got out some cards and played Nertz until 8 or so. Kim was going to go to a movie around 9:30pm and then she was going black friday shopping! Crazy!
Joam and I went back to Grandma's and sat with her for a bit. The next day we went to breakfast with my Aunt Nina and Grandma... then we went to JC Penney's so Grandma could buy me some work clothes for Christmas. (: I saved $158!

I think I'm missing some things but I have to go. I'll edit and update soon.

My New Job

I love my new job! I sit in a cubicle and I have a stack of papers with a number on them. I put that number into a program that pulls up a person's name, address, dob, and dl#. then i enter that info into another form on my second monitor. then I click print and put the report with the first paper. then i'm on to the next one! haha, super boring, but awesomely easy.

BUT after lunch my boss stopped by my desk... which is a rarity. I really could go the whole day without talking to a SOUL! anyways, she stopped by and was like, when you get to a stopping point and need a break, come by my office.

My heart started pounding!!! Did I mess something up? No, she would have told me. She wouldn't have let me continue doing something wrong. I was working fast to finish my current pile to get in there to find out. Twenty minutes later I pop in there and she's like, First off, let me tell you that you are doing a great job. (: Well, the short version is that I'll not be doing the boring data entry anymore. I'll be moved to the scanning room! Which is sorting, scanning, filing, etc. I'm going to consider it a promotion! (:

I now have to show up at 7:30am instead of 8am. Which means I'll have to leave at 6:30am instead of 7am. Which means I'll have to wake up at 5:30am instead of 6am. crazy.

Some of the things I like about waking up early: coffee, having a schedule which helps me remember to take a vitamin, listening to www.robarnieanddawn.com (:

The things I don't like about having a job: not having as much time online as i was spending, not having time to hang out with hubby who just got back from hawaii, not having as much time to watch the television that i've been sucked into! I used to watch 2, 3 shows at the MOST! and now, there's something "good" on just about every night!

ok, i'm off to play left4dead with my little brother and husband.

I got the job!

I start today. How crazy that I've been looking for a job for about four months now and I finally get one that starts the day my husband gets back from a two month trip to Hawaii!?! ):

AAAAAAAAAnd, I got a call from Target offering me a job about thirty minutes after I accepted the temp one! Which is probably a good thing, but hey... target! I could have had a discount.

...to bring awareness to people who deal with self-injury, depression, and thoughts of suicide. There is help. There are people who love you. And God really does love you.

birthdays, birthdays

Tomorrow is my aunt-in-law's birthday (Chris) and my cousin's (Michelle) and then the next day is my sister's (Jamie) and then a few days later is my mom-in-law's (Teresa) and my friends' birthday (Liz and Andrew) and the day after that is my cousin-in-law's birthday (Kelsey)!

What happened nine months ago? Valentine's Day, that's what. At least that's my theory. Nine months prior to November is February, right? I have one word for you, "ew" (;

haha, just kidding about the "ew," I think it would be kind of cool knowing that you were the product of celebrating love. Well, I guess baby making is a celebration of love, usually. But you know what I mean.

I just wanted to give you something to read!

almost home!
