busy? nawww. hectic? to say the least

So....it's been too long. So much has happened, that I don't even know where to start. i will try and break it down in pieces so I am not writing a 10 page blog!! you can ask questions later! haha.

(ongoing) i got more job duties (as always)

(july 2nd) our neighbor called the cops on us and complained we were "trafficking"....are you serious right now?

(july 3rd) we ask our neighbor (aka drunk old insane crazy loonie bin guy) why he called the cops on us.

- he freaks out, tells us he is going to "take us out"

- it takes 911 3 hours to respond to 3 calls.

- we file a police report against this crazy guy because the cops tell us outright they can't do anything unless he shoots at us or breaks in our house.

(july 3rd & 4th) every time our drunk old insane crazy loonie bin neighbor is outside, he yells and taunts us to "come and get me....ill take both of you out"

- can't forget about the 4th of july!! fireworks!!!

(july 5th) ask allens parents if we can move in for a little while.

-e-mail, leave voicemails, fax letter twice to landlord.

(july 6th) pack

- talk to landlord. she has talked to the investors and tells me i have to give a 30 day notice and pay rent for the whole month.

(july 7th) move.

good times!!!!

(july 9th) say goodbye to allen's brother Tony, who was home for 10 days before he was shipped off to Germany. good luck!!!



so living with the parents is so nice, and so crappy at the same time. not having to worry about paying bills, is the best thing in the whole entire world!!!

not having pure freedom, is the worst thing in the whole world. allen, not having a job right now, says he works more doing chores for his mom than he does working a full time job. haha.

Allen cleaning the pool...

but, allens mom, being Thai, needless to say, we get good food, everyday!! i am learning a lot! today we made eggrolls.....pure heaven.

3 days until allens birthday, 5 days until Ty gets here, 6 days until we drive to utah, next month i get to see audrey!! wo0ho0!!

life is busy, but good.

still trying to figure out what i am going to do about my landlord. i haven't paid them rent, and don't want to. i have been researching a lot about the legal part of it. its the law to give a 30 day notice, unless other legal circumstances, including problems with neighbors. right now it stands if i don't pay rent, they will throw me into "eviction" ...help anyone?

more work....less money....what did i just do?

Ok, so the new job is a little stressful....no downtime whatsoever....lots of cattiness.....interesting patients.....all of what I said I wouldn't miss when I left Nordstrom. I am coming up on 1 month here and I'm hoping to get a raise like my coworker says usually happens. I should be making at least $5 for dollars an hour than I am right now. Easy. But every job has its ups and downs right? The greatest thing about my new job though, is getting to see my dad everyday. I love him so much and it's awesome to have him so close. I feel like I could count on him if I needed anything while at work. It's great to also be at the office everyday to know whats going on and try and make him a little less stressed out. 2 more days till FRIDAY!! wo0ho0!!

Birthday Weekend!! =)

Weekend #2

I'm beginning to like this thing called a weekend! It's nice!! I got caught up on a little laundry (still to be folded, but CLEAN!, thats somethin right?) Which brings me to a nice point.....only in my house, when you are emptying pockets, do you come across this....
Not keys, not receipts, not dollar bills.....but a screwdriver!! and change! I had to laugh....only Allen.










The rest of the weekend was relaxing. Our friend Kegan told us the the carnival (aka the ghetto fair as we call it) that usually is in South Sac, was actually in Rocklin....so I convinced everyone that we had to go!! Allen loves playing the games, but hates the rides. Needless to say, I coaxed him into going with me....he was nauseous the rest of the day! SORRY!! :)







Of course, after spending about $20 bucks and winning lots of little toys, we cashed in and got the frog....and don't forget, cotton candy, Allens favorite!

Momo

my favorite thing in the whole world about dogs is they can sense that you aren't feeling good....this dog has been by my side every single second for the past week, loving me. she usually always does, but more so since i havn't been feeling good.
by the way, i cant wait to get back into my workout routine, i need it so bad...i feel SOO much better when i work out in the morning....im hoping this thing goes away for good here sooon!!!

a WEEEKEND!!!!

you know....When I worked at Nordstrom I used to almost cringe when customers used to tell me to have a good weekend.....now......ahhhh.....it's the greatest feeling ever! I almost don't know what to do with myself!! If not apparent enough, my last day at Nordstrom was Thursday and my first (actually 3rd) but first official day at Enhance was Friday! I officially don't work for Nordstrom anymore....which is nice, but sad too.

My last day at Nordstrom, everyone was there....it was nice. My whole department was there even on their day off. It kinda sucked though because I have been in so much pain because of my tooth I didn't get to eat much, but I felt loved!
So....Monday I was eating some peanuts and then all the sudden my tooth started hurting....I kinda just brushed it off, until it started hurting so bad in the middle of the night that I couldn't sleep. I woke up on Tuesday and had to take Allen to turn in all his guard applications and then came home before I had to be to work and was in so much pain. I called work and told them I was going to go the dentist because my mouth started getting swollen. After waiting 2 hours in the lobby at the dentist I hate ( I hate all dentists, but I really hate this one ) he told me he had to refer me to a specialist and gave me antibiotics. Because I was 2 hours late to work, I didn't go turn in my prescription, and went to work.....bad idea. After work I went to go pick it up and they said I had to have an insurance card, which they have never given me and have always told me just to give my social. That didn't work....I automatically just get really upset....I wasn't feeling good at all. I was freeezing when everyone was roasting hot, my tooth hurt like crazy and I just broke down. My co-worker and friend came to Walgreens where I was and gave me some of her antibiotics and pain meds she had and I went home.

The first night of pain, I closed at work....

The next morning (Wednesday)...yeah, I still went to work

After going to work looking like this...I almost had to beg to leave (all my co-workers were telling me just to leave, but I wanted to make sure it was ok with the boss). This pic is right before going to the dentist the second time. I called a family friend dentist to see if he would see me the same day and they said come right in. Best dentist I have ever been to. He drilled me a little to get some of it to drain and then sent me home with another prescription for antibiotics and vicodin es. Not recommending anyone take that!!! I've never have taken any drugs, but on Friday I swear I was coming down from a high or something. I swear there were tons of little dogs at my feet running around. Havn't taken any since. Thank goodness I was at the new job with my dad next door I was able to go lay down and sleep it off on my lunch.



Thursday morning after 2 doses of antibiotics. Went to work and stayed the whole day because it was my last day.

Friday afternoon....didn't feel so hot this morning after taking vicodin, but feeling much better now! Swelling going down tremendously!!


Here are some pics from my last day at work....my face is huge!! :(

Good News!

So yesterday wasn't too bad of a day. On my way to work Lanie called me to tell me that her and Jared are preggo again! (which is why the reason for the picture) So their family is growing again. Really exciting, but sad at the same time since they now live in Utah and I will not be able to see the bell grow. I hope it is a girl this time! We need some more girls in this family.
Then on my lunch break I opened my paycheck...to my surprise, I got the raise I thought I was going to have to wait 6 months for. I've been in the Customer Service department almost 2 months now and am already topped out for my pay. It is so ridiculous how little the top pay is for our department.
Then after work we went to Fry's to check out any new deals they had for this week. What do we see? A lap top for $499. Ive been wanting one for a long time and I thought that I was going to get one on Black Friday but we ended up getting the 52 inch HDTV. Soo...we bought my early Christmas gift. I love it. I'm sitting on the couch typing :) wo0ho0.
All the Christmas decorations are not all out yet....maybe tomorrow after work....
