HAPPY HALLOWEEN

sports night

Tonight is a major sports night!! It is the first regular season game for the Suns. They are playing the Spurs and I am VERY excited. New coach... so we shall see.

Also, the World Series might end tonight. They are gonna attempt to pick up where they left off on game 5 from Monday night. According to my sister, its still raining in that area, but not as bad as Monday. I really hope that they do get to play. I want the Phillies to win.

I guess I'll be doing a lot of channel flipping and picture-in-picture.

edited to add: Suns won & the Phillies won! Great night.

to my dad

My dad has a job interview today. Sending good thoughts, dad.

hair cut

The haircut has happened. I have no hair.

Ok. That isn't true. But it is soooo short. I haven't had it this short since I don't know when? High School maybe?

I love the cut, but the way it was styled kinda makes me look like a mom. A total mom hair style. When I wash it and style it myself, I will like it better.

augh

I have had a horrible night. Had a argument with a friend. Not fun. Lots of crying involved on my part. But I know that it will blow over.

I am trying to think of things I am grateful for today, even though today has been a bad day.

1. Gold Canyon Caramel Apple candle. It is seasonal and only comes out this time of year. I am obsessed with them and have been buying them for the last 5 years. LOVE LOVE LOVE

2. Heard quickly that I did not get the job. At least they did not drag it out.

3. Smiles and understanding from Chris.

i really needed this today...

other random things

I had a job interview today. It went well. I guess I am not too enthusiastic about it because the hours are not ideal (nights & weekends). But it would be a job. So, I am just gonna wait and see what they offer me as far as a shift and pay. They say I should hear within the week.

It is 2 weeks until my birthday. It is one day before the election, so it will be overlooked in the media. hehehe. In my dreams.

My mom came home from visiting my sister today. They had a good time, but I am jealous I was not there with them.

When the hell is it gonna cool off? It was in the 90's today! It cooled down into the low 80's and high 70's for a few days, but back up it went. wth? Its almost Halloween!!!

David Cook is gonna be on Saturday Night Live on November 1st. I am so excited for this! While he was not my favorite idol (thats an understatement!), I still really like him and will probably buy his album. That comes out November 21st, btw.

I am chopping my hair off on Thursday. Ok, so not ALL my hair, but a lot. I hope it turns out like this:

camping

So, yeah... we went camping over the weekend. Believe it or not, it was my idea. I felt like getting away would do us both some good. Chris had been gone in Arlington for so long and I have been stuck in this house. Well, turns out it was a good idea. We packed up and left Friday afternoon. By the time we got there (we had to stop at Walmart along the way because we forgot flashlights! duh!) it was dark. Setting up camp in the dark is kind of a pain, but I was with my Eagle Scout and had no doubt it would be ok. The best thing about camping is the food that Chris makes. He puts yummy things on the fire and the grill. Makes cake in a cast iron dutch oven. Soooo good. Also roasting marshmallows. Such fun. The weather was really nice. I loved being away from the heat. We brought every blanket we owned and I ended up sleeping in my clothes with 4 blankets. I was able to get lots of reading and writing done. And of course I took pictures. If you wanna see them, here they are. We were way up on top of Mingus Mountain at over 7000 feet above sea level. It was very cool being at the top. Here is the mountain were were on top of, once we were down off of it:It was a really peaceful weekend, dirt and all.

my first vlog

Hate to post and run (not!), but I just wanted to post my very first vlog:


We went camping this weekend and just got home. I have some great pictures that I will post soon. But in the mean time, enjoy my cheesy vlog.

HAPPY 31st BIRTHDAY

JOHN CLAYTON MAYER

meh

Jennifer Aniston & John Mayer Reconnect for Dinner
This boy has become such a player. I know that he is just playing the field. They like each other and they want to hang out again. I really do not think its a big deal.
I know he has a bad rap and it was confirmed by the reference to him on this weeks Gossip Girl. One of the characters said, "You've gotten more Maxim cover girls than John Mayer." That's not the exact quote, but close enough.
He will always be the hotness to me.

job... or lack there of

I have been putting of blogging about this. I am not really sure why. I got fired from my job. Not laid off. Fired. It's complicated. Not really feeling like sharing the details. But it was just over two weeks ago. My former boss called me while I was home sick and told me. She told me that they would pack up my desk and mail it to me. It was done. I guess I could have tried to fight it. But honestly, I didn't really want to. I was not happy at my job. Well, I loved the people I worked with, but I hated what I did. I was wanting to leave anyway. It would have been better if it was on my terms and not theirs. It was also really difficult to deal with, because not only was I sick, but Chris was in Arlington at the time. So I was home alone. It was tough, but in a way, it was a blessing. That applies to losing the job and being alone. I have hope that I will find another job. In fact, I got a call today about an interview. I have one scheduled on Monday!! I have applied to so many and feel good about the process. But I also was forced to deal with it on my own. I act tough (sometimes!! I swear I do!!), but I don't always feel tough. Being home alone gave me time to think and react without other peoples opinions or feelings. It would have been nice to have the support of my husband at that time, but I handled it. I cried. I dealt. I processed. I felt good to be with my feelings. It was positive, for once. I needed this to happen. Maybe I can start to move forward in my life now.

week 6

vs



edited to add: HOLY CRAP! They pulled it off. They beat the Cowboys. It wasn't pretty and there were some major mistakes, but they won! They are in first place. I am in shock. 4-2! That's just crazy.

No game next week - BYE

playlist

I made a playlist to show my friends some of my favorite songs (other than Jason Castro), so why not post it here too?? I tried to keep it to only 2 songs per artist. Otherwise it would not be very diverse.

W

I am really looking forward to seeing W by Oliver Stone. It comes out in two weeks.

From an interview tonight with Oliver Stone on Nightline:

Oliver Stone: "I don't mis-underestimate George Bush at all. I think he's a very dangerous man."
Terry Moran: "Dangerous?" (laughing and smiling)
Oliver Stone: "Are you joking? We have two wars going. We have an economy in tatters and he's not dangerous? He's gonna upset and ruin most of our lives. I mean, they play fear against hope. We're being played like marionettes."
