Slowing down...not a good thing. ((sigh))

Well, work is going to be slowing down for probably a while as of now (for me...sadly already has for Tom). He's been scheduled only a couple days a week for a couple weeks now and up till now I've still had full time hours. Next week though I'm down to 4 days and have over 10 hours cut from the week. The following week Tom and I both only have 2 days. I work that Sunday and Monday and he works Tuesday and Wednesday. So it's not even like they could at least be nice to us by helping us save on gas money...they are still making drive the car all the way in to town over a duration of 4 days. ((sigh)) How troublesome... -_-
Thinking about it...it might have been better to wait to do our Utah trip until this time that we wouldn't be missing out of work hours anyway since we don't have them to begin with. Eh, no use crying over burnt toast. Besides, I had a great time in Utah (other than the whole 'getting sick' ordeal...)! ^_^ I just wish we could go more often.
Tom made pitas for lunch today and they were scrum-diddly-umptious! Okay yeah....it's almost 2. I seriously need to go to bed.
We're planning on going to Tom's grandma's tomorrow evening for dinner and to watch a movie with her. We were trying to decide between tonight and tomorrow....but with how late we're getting to bed....yeah...tonight isn't going to happen. lol
KK, my eyeballs are startin' to get that hazy feeling so I'm going to go take out my contacts which mean...yep...bedtime. G'night all....or I guess for you guys it would be G'day! ((yeah, tired))...

Home

Well, we got home from Utah this morning. I'm not sure what time it was cuz I was so out of it, but I do remember 2 dogs here that we all sorts of excited to see us. =) Lilac stayed true to form and slept in on the bed with Tom and me today. Dang, that little dog sure does love down. LoL. She's curled up in a ball right by my leg on my down comforter as we speak. (I have my lappy sitting on my bed. Comfy!) So, I miss Utah (of course) but part of me is happy to be back in my little trailer. I'm not at all excited about going back to work, but life is life and we still gotta live it, right? So I'm just chillaxin her on my bed with lappy, listenin' to some youtube toons and posting this blog. ^_^ Yeah, at the moment life is good. Maybe I'll watch some tv on hulu or something tonight. ((shrugs))

Also I've been thinking about starting a weight loss journal like my sister and cousin both have, but I haven't decided for sure. I don't think I have to lose a lot of weight, but I do know that I am at least a little overweight. So we'll have to see. Well, I'm out for now.

24 hours!

Well, we will be in Hurricane Utah in hopefully about 24 hours from now. Yay! I finally made it through the work week and now I just have to make it through the rest of today and of course the drive tonight. Two weeks with my family will make this last day of wait totally worth it though. I'm so excited to finally be going that I can't even describe it. ^_^

Tom's gonna make pound salsa soon and I can't wait cuz it's nummy and I'm hungry. LoL. Also soon we gotta go outside and clean out the car a bit and put in some oil. *nods* I've already put gas in so we don't need to worry about that. *shakes head* and then (hopefully not too late) we'll go to bed so that we can get up this evening, load up what we haven't already and be on our merry way. *nods again*

So, I'm going to keep myself occupied until Tom says it's time to start doing stuff (or until he starts making the food). To my family, I love you guys and I'll see you tomorrow!!!! -hugs-

2 nights left. Hell? Very well could be...

Well, I have 2 nights of work left before my vacation starts. Part of me is saying 'Woohoo!' like it's nobodies business... but at the same time I'm so tired that the thought of having to go 2 more nights is almost overwhelming. To top it off we are going to reset the sporting goods section of the store and it's not like they're making it easy on us. A bunch of the aisles (sp?) are switching around and such. Aye aye aye! I just can't wait to get to Utah. I so need this like you wouldn't even believe. *yawns* I think I'm gonna try to go to bed soon. Seriously.

2 down 3 to go.

Okay I have 2 nights of work behind me and just 3 to go. Damn, it seems like this weekend is never go to get here! I know it's just that I'm excited about going to Utah, but of course that's something that can't be helped. I wish that we could just leave for Utah on Friday morning right after work...but I don't want to drive during the day and we should try to get some sleep before we go anyway. I know I'm going to be way excited that day though and probably won't sleep very well. LoL.

Well, I'm going to do some other stuff I think. Mostly just wanted to make a quick post to let you know that I'm alive and kickin...or kicked back at least. ^_^

O(")_(")

Happy weekend! Oh my gosh it was another looooong ass week at work. (You know one of those weeks that makes you want to quit...until you get the paycheck with all that lovely overtime on it?). Hahah! At least it's finally Friday, though and I (thankfully) have the next 2 nights off work. Damn, I think last night (this morning) was the only day this week that I didn't have at least 40 minutes of overtime, and most days this week I had at least close to an hour!

So here's a run down for the next 7 days.

Tonight and Tomorrow night: I'm gonna sit on my lazy butt with the exception of cleaning out my car so that its ready to make the upcoming trip to Utah.

Sunday thru Thursday night: Go to work (with some comp stuff and sleeping during the day) and likely wanting to pull my hair out. (It's another 40 hour week....so I'm expecting at least some OT again...)

Friday: Sleeping (or trying to cuz I'm way too excited to sleep)

and finally Friday night we are leaving for Utah!!!

Then it's 2 full weeks of sweet vacation and I can't begin to tell you how much I need this. Seriously work has my completely exhausted and if there had been any way I could go THIS week instead of next and take 3 weeks off work I SO WOULD! But I know that I just have to get through one more week and then I'll be able to relax a bit.

Okay well I'm going to do a few more things perhaps and then I think I'm going to go to bed. I'm pretty tired. -hugs to all-

=)

So, I've just spent the last...oh hour so so (maybe longer) doing some cleaning in my trailer cuz I'm managed to misplace my checkbook (perfect), and I'm really due for a good spring cleaning anyway. I was standing there picking stuff up when I looked up to where I have my family pictures sitting. It's a photo frame when spots for 8 photos that Jason got me for Christmas a couple years ago and I think of everything I own it's probably the only thing I've never lost at least once. LoL. Granted I still have yet to fill the last photo spot with my own photo I love looking at the other pictures there. One picture is of my whole family on one of our Disneyland vacations we love so much. I think that is my favorite picture there simply becuz it's all of us together. Then the other pictures are of the rest of my family individually aside from Mom and Dad being together, and Shane is in Jason's photo & Emily is in Jessicah's photo. I feel really bad that I haven't added a photo of Tom and me to it, but I guess I just haven't really found a good one yet. Which is hard enough since we really don't take pictures. One of these days though.

So, we did finally manage to get in our papers to take time off at the end of the month and we got the managers signed approval so pending some freak reason our trip to Utah is going to happen. ^_^ I can't begin to describe how excited I am. One reason being that since I moved to California the longest time I've seen my family in one visit is one week (sometimes it was only 2 to 4 days depending on when the visit was) and this visit is actually going to be 2 whole weeks! Yesss! I'm getting so psyched up about seeing everyone that I think my heart my explode! Yeah, if you can't tell I miss them a bit. Heeheehee. I've got so many things I'd like to do while I'm there too. I can't really think of a lot right now... but they're floatin' around in my mind somewhere. LoL.

It's going on 1:20pm now and I really should be heading to bed so I don't get too off schedule, but I magaged to sleep from (I kid you not) 1pm yesterday till almost 6am today. Yeah. I was damn tired. It's kind of good though cuz I was actually scheduled a full 40 hours this week (and I know I got at least 2 full hours of overtime in there) so I was pretty damn exhausted. Good thing I also have tonight off. I don't want to sleep as last as I did yesterday, but at least I don't have to be up by any means 'early'. I'm due for another 40 hour week this coming week so my paychecks should start looking somewhat nicer than they have been. Thank goodness. I was beginning to feel poor.... well ... poorer. LoL!

Well, I guess I'm out of things to write about right now. But at least I got an entry down even if I did a very little actual update on myself. =) Love you all! <3
