Woohoo first day of work!
So I finished my first day at work and it was great! I think I did a pretty good job and got the hang of a few things fairly quickly. I really love working there! It’s the best job I’ve had. The staff there is GREAT and everyone is super friendly and really chatty. The customers are all really cool and I’m having fun helping people find games and such! The only bad part was I worked a 12 and a half hour shift on my feet and they are so sore. Its because I haven’t been on my feet all the time and I’m just not used to it. It should start to wear off soon once my muscles start strengthing up. Tomorrow I only work from 3 to close (so around 9:30 or 10). Its going to be fun!
I am so excited about Monday! I can’t believe it’s already been one year. It just seems like it was yesterday we were sharing our vows and stuffing cake in each other’s face. I love him so much… he’s anything and everything I could want in a husband and so much more. I am glad he’s enjoying the gift of Suikoden II that I got for him. It makes me happy that it makes him happy.
Squeeeee its getting closer to Ashley being here! I need to finish this anime quiz, but it’s getting there. Out of ten rounds I am on round eight. I can probably finish it… Yah, I can… but the apartment so won’t be clean. It will be… not as messy. At least Ashley and I will have something to do and it will feel more like the dorm did.
FINALLY my cats are getting along much better. Jasmine still doesn’t snuggle with them or anything, but she lets them be around her without beating the crap out of them. They chase each other and play tag and Jasmine seems to like them a lil more. Gwen warms up to everyone and Pino is trying, but shes still a little skittish. Shes really starting to love being in laps and getting her ears scratched, even by Gino, which normally she would just come around only me.
Woohoo I love my hubby!
Working… tomorrow!
So the owner asked if I could come in on Friday instead of Thursday which is fine with me. My mom found a place to put the kids for the afternoon while shes in court, and now its even easier to avoid my father and his family! Everything works out for the best! I don’t have to see or speak to my father, the kids get a fun afternoon of play at a local day-care kinda place and I am sure my dad is going to lose his case and my mom get some of the money she is owed.
Working on this huge (and very cool) anime quiz on powerpoint. I want it to take more than 5 measley minutes to complete. Its going to be fun with all different kinds of questions! Woohoo its going to be fun! Less than a week and she’ll be here!
So Gino got his copy of Suikoden II and this one isn’t broken, woohoo! He played it all day yesterday and I am sure he’ll play it again tonight (or this afternoon). He’s REALLY enjoying it, which makes me very happy. I’m glad he likes his early aniversary present <3.
Working!
My first day of work is on Thursday at 10am and I work all the way til close at 8pm. Thats a full 10 hours! I am excited!!!! Lets just say the job pays minimum wage (which either is, or is going to be this month sometime $7.25) Hack off the .25 since taxes hate everyone and to make the math simple. If I work ten hours thats 70 bucks! Thats 3 DnD books AND the shipping! Is it sad thats how I measure money… how many things I can buy with it… hrmmmm… yes… this is bad for saving. I need to save monies!
I’m so excited that I finally have a job and its possibly the best job I’ve ever had! I can’t wait to start working. The best part? I can wear JEANS at work. How cool is that?!
I’m excited about the coming weeks. Gino and I have our aniversary on Monday, I am finally working again and Ashley is coming to visit. I’m muchly pleased!
New job, New finances
Ok, so I got this job on Sunday and I should have my first day at work sometime this week. With a new job it means more money coming into the house and we’ll finally have a little to spend on things just for us instead of bills. However, we really need to save so we can one day get to Virginia. That being said, I am TERRIBLE with finances… really, really bad. Thankfully there are sites out there like www.personal-finance-guide.org that can help you out with your personal finances. I seriously need some help with that so we can save up some money and still have some to spend on dates or little gifts.
Anyway, what else is going on… ohh my wedding aniversary is coming up on the 13th. It’ll be one magical year that we’ve been married, and I couldn’t be happier. I love him with all my heart and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
And yes, I still want a Papillon puppy.
8 days til Ashley comes to visit! SO MUCH ANIME TO WATCH!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I GOT THE JOB!
Hurray! I am so excited!!!! I got a called today from Game Point asking me to come in and fill out one of their applications and quizes, and the owner wanted me to meet his wife because she likes to meet all the new hires. He gave me some of the official Game Point shirts/uniforms and said he would give me a call when he needed me to come in for training. It won’t be a HUGE amount of hours, just a part-time job until the Christmas season hits, which is great. I can ease back into working and not get overwhelmed. Honestly, any extra money would be great because then Gino and I can afford some more video games and D&D gear. His copy of Suikoden II is shipping tomorrow, so hopefully it should be here before our one year aniversary <3.
Puppy Rescue!
I rescued a little lost dog today, a Papillon named Mario to be exact. When I got home from my mom’s today I noticed a little black and white dog bounding for my car. I opened the door and yelled “Here puppy puppy.” as I got out, and the dog jumped right in my car and was ready for a ride. I scooped up the little thing and called the number on his collar, only to have it go to voicemail. I was dismayed. I couldn’t leave the poor thing outside alone, but I don’t think my cats would be pleased if I brought him in either. I snagged Jasmines leash and hooked him up so he wouldn’t get away from me and called my hubby (who couldn’t answer at the time) and my mom to see what I should do. About ten minutes passed and I got a call from the ower: she was over an hour away visiting family for the weekend. She said she would come get him as soon as she could but would give her friends a call and see if they were in town. I scooped up the little dog and headed in to grab him a dish a water.
I was nervous that the dog would start barking when he saw my cats, or my cats would have a fit, but surprisingly, neither happened. The dog just looked at them with a smile and kept panting. Jasmine acctually followed me around and wanted to see him. I put some water in a dish and brought him outside to walk again. A call came in a few minutes later from the owner, her friends were in town and were on the way to get lil Mario. Sadly, my new black and white friend had to go home and my cats couldn’t spend more time with him. When I got back in after sending Mario on his way home, Jasmine was all over me, meowing, wanting to know what happened to her new puppy friend. Shes so strange. She doesn’t like other cats, but somehow Papillons are ok. This only strengthens my case for when we get our own house, we should get a Papillon.
The waiting game…
Alaska time is three hours behind us… so its almost 6:30 am there.
I guess explaining that would be good. An Illindir player and good friend of the staff, Sam, went out boating at about 3:30 am on Monday (Alaskan time) and then his partly submerged boat was found about 10:30am by a bystander. He is still missing, and I am waiting to find an update on if they found anything yesterday. Ashley and I are searching frequently for any information on whats going on, but he lives in a remote part of Alaska, so info is hard to come by. Part of me is tempted to call the Coast Guard and see if they found anything. I hope we hear something soon.
Saving the environment AND time!
So I found www.hotwaterlobster.com and I really want to look into getting one. Essentially, it really helps out the environment by helping to save hot water and heat up the water quicker. I waste so much water when I do the dishes just waiting for the water to heat itself up. Saving water is really important, not only for my budget, but for the environment as well, which is always a plus.
The Hot Water Lobster is only about 179.95 so its not going to break our budget if we get one, and then its easy enough to install I can even do it. I also very much like the fact it comes with a 30 day money back guarantee and a 10 year parts and labor warranty. Thats always nice so I know its not a rip off like some of those other products on the market. I am for sure going to get one when we own our own house, but I am really thinking of getting one now and even get one for my mom!
It’s Official.
I didn’t get that job at Target. Great. On a bright-ish note, I am almost guarenteed a job in October at Game Point, however, thats quite a ways off. Hopefully I can at least find a temp job before then, that would be nice.
Damn.
Its just been a bad few days…
Still waiting to hear back from Target, so its not really bad news, its just waiting news. Hopefully I can get that job because I neeeeeeeeed it badly.
Got Suikoden 2 and guess what: It doesn’t work. It freezes at the first battle, how great. Now I have to ship it back, get my refund, and either buy a different copy or buy something else. I don’t know what to do, I am just so frustrated about it.
My friend had to put down one of his dogs and I feel terrible for him. I know how animals can become a major part of your life. We’ve had the cats for a long while now and they are part of our family and I could never never never give them up, they are my precious little babies… even if Jasmine bites me.
Hopefully the days shall get better soon… that would be good.
