So...


I've been in Utah for about a week and half now. I have this gut feeling that
I need to call my dad to let him know I'm here. Considering I was going to stay with him.
But things have changed. Apparently. Everything has. I wish I could say that I have a job
right now, but I don't. 

Although, I did have a job interview this afternoon. I have never, in my life, 
have had a job interview on a Saturday afternoon. I don't really know how it went. There was a girl who was being interviewed right before I got there. Totally cute and peppy and I couldn't help but think, "She's totally going to get the job. Here I am, sitting in at a smoothie bar/sandwich shop, pretty much overqualified. But I need a job, so stay. Don't leave..." Yep, I had that conversation with myself about twice while I sat there waiting for her interview to finish. Apparently, she showed up half an hour early, thus, pushing my interview back about 15 minutes. It was annoying. 

I did, however, score a free smoothie. In my efforts to getting back into shape, I got this smoothie from the "healthy" section called Peach Lovers. It was surprisingly delicious and not at all sugary or ice cream-y. Once I know whether or not I get the job, I'll let ya'll know where this place is so you can enjoy a Peach Lovers smoothie.

Other than that, my days aren't filled with much of anything. Well, the first week I was here, my nieces had a few days left of summer vacation before school started up again, so I got to play with them and stuff. But now that they're in school, my days aren't really filled with much excitement. I wake up. Sometimes I'll eat breakfast. Then I but my bed away and sit on the couch while my brain and my body catch up with each other. Then I'll either take a shower or do some job searching on my laptop until lunchtime. After lunch, I'll either do more job searching or I'll play with my kindergarten-er niece. After that, my older nieces get home from school and it's pretty much pointless to do much else because of interruptions. The rest of the day, if I haven't taken a shower yet, I'll do that and then hang out with my nieces and nephew. Help make dinner sometimes, watch a little t.v. with the kiddos or take a walk with my kindergarten-er niece. 

Pretty boring, yeah? Although, what I do all day sounds like what a lot of stay at home mom's do all day, I don't want to discount their efforts, I am just used to a completely different routine.

Anyway, tomorrow is an early day...bleh. Hopefully I'll be able to get a Sunday afternoon nap after church...*cross my fingers*

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...

No time

It's been roughly 5 weeks since I last posted anything. Work and school have almost literally sucked the life out of me. My dad and I just got internet at the house, which does make things a lot easier. Even then...I really don't have time to do any real studying. Here's a typical day for me: 7 a.m. alarm goes off. try to wake up. press snooze a couple of times. wouldn't be human if i didn't, right? 7:15 a.m. actually get out of bed 7:20 a.m. shower 7:30 a.m. get dressed for work 7:40 a.m. try to remember to: fill my water bottle grab a can of soup & crackers for lunch grab CNA books & supplies eat something on the way out the door then curse myself for forgetting to grab my smock and name tag. unlock/lock the front door, again. 7:45 a.m. drive to work 8 a.m - 4 p.m work 4 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. take coworker(s) home. 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. CNA class 9:15 p.m. change into pj's. find s...

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]
