Fundraiser for Camp

Posted in Family, YouTube on May 18th, 2010 by admin

Well this past Sunday my family and I went to the Trek 4 Kids. It’s a marathon which raises money for kids to go to camp. My son Darien is going to camp for his second time this summer because of programs like this.

So here is a video of the day, also with interviews with Darien and I:

It was a great experience. We did the 5k walk…. which tired me out. But I’m hoping next year to go even further. :)

Best Dating Site Ever!

I was reading some Zombie blogs and stumbled across this dating site, ZombieHarmony. It’s not a real site so you’ll notice when you click anything it just will refresh the page. But it’s so hilarious!

I found a date through zombie harmony - one of the best free dating sites for zombies

The best part is the disclaimer under the profiles. :)

Aren’t These Fricken Cute!

I love window-net-shopping. You always find the cutest things and you never have to leave the comfort of your chair. :) Here are some cute tees I found at Threadless.com:

I’ve actually thought about taking some of my old tees and cutting them up into cute shirts. I just hate how tight they can be around the neck, and there are some good videos online on how to do that. Hmmm… feeling creative. :)

Well I’m off to make some dinner but I got more to post very soon. Byes for now.

Random Late Night Rant…

Posted in Family, Random Rants on May 3rd, 2010 by admin

It’s now 1:40 in the morning, so if this isn’t too coherant, I’m sorry.

I just can’t sleep. So much stuff has been going on lately and I just really feel the need to rant it all out. I know I usually don’t blog about personal stuff, but hey, it’s my blog lol.

Pretty much money sucks. It sucks even more when there is a lack of it. I’ve been working at a pet store for over 2 years now. When I applied I wanted full time. I was told I would start off as part time, which was fine with me. Over the past 2 years my hours have gone down, more and more each week. Next week I have two 3 hour shifts! Argh…… Now I know a lot of it has to do with some new scheduling, and a lot of people are pissed. But six hours? I won’t even make enough to cover groceries for that week!

Now please don’t get me wrong, I know I’m lucky right now to even have a job. But still I can’t help but be freaking out a bit. And it’s not just that, things are hard all the way around. Jay (my husband) got laid off last year. He was at his company for 11 years and they shut down. He was able to get another job (thank god) but of course is making a lot less than before. It’s really starting to catch up with us. Right now my biggest fear is that we may have to sell our home. We bought it 2 years ago when we were both working and things were good. But so much has gone on since then.

I am looking for a second job. As much as my current one lives me disgruntled, I’m not about to quit any source of income. It’s just nerve racking to go through this process all over again, and find something that will work around my current job, Jay’s work schedule, and taking care of the boys.

Bah…. anyways that’s my little rant for now. I’m going to drink more coffee and look for more jobs. I’ll be sure to post something more interesting soon. Nighty night all.

EDIT: Well after doing my nails and visiting GivesMeHope I’m feeling much better. Really there’s no where else to go but up. :) Thanks for tolerating my ranting hehe.
