Happy New Year to me

So I got a call on Monday or Tuesday informing me that one of my jobs (the kiosk) was closing down. They weren't making enough money. So I was down a job.

"It's ok," I thought, "I still have my other one."

Then I went in to work on New Years Day at 'the other one' and was told I wasn't doing my job and they were letting me go.

"What!?" I thought (and really wanted to scream).

I still don't know what I didn't do. All I have to say is "Good Luck" to the poor sap that gets my job.


So now I have no job. I will be looking all over again. Grrrrr. I HATE job hunting.

Happy New Year

It has been pointed out to me that I am way behind on my blog. I will agree since it was October. It is now almost New Years and not much has changed.

I still work at DownEast but I also have a job at a kiosk. I am still not making what I did at the middle school where I used to work but oh well.

I am LOVING my ward. I have great friends there and love the activities...when I get to go.

I did get to go to the Christmas one, in fact I helped out a bit. I took care of the table decorations (nativities I had in storage), made about two hundred cookies, and two big bowls of chicken salad. I had many compliments on my nativities and cookies. And I wasn't in the activities commitee...until that night. That is now my new calling. I am REALLY excited to be doing it. The only thing that worries me is that I was done being social by the time the dinner started that night. I hope it gets better, it's not much fun to be tired of people and HAVE to stay.

I need to learn to forgive myself. I am having a hard time forgiving myself for ignoring what I knew what was right (three years ago) and doing what I wanted. I try now to do what is right but I still can't believe the things I wouldn't (probably) have faced if I had listened to the Spirit and done what was right. I am trying to move on but at times I have trouble.

I hope this year brings great changes to my life. I know the Lord is watching over me. I am grateful for the joy the Gospel brings to my life.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

So I just did a nice post with pictures from my halloween party and it somehow is totally gone now and I have to start over. I will not spend so much time on it this time since I am now annoyed.

Anyway I made the costume...but I look really wide in it. My friend Pam painted the wings and did my makeup (AND EARS!!!!!!!) and my cousin did my hair. From the neck up I looked like I had always pictured a fairy looking. The rest well...it worked.

Busy bee

So I've been lucky enough (or unlucky enough since I have less hours which equals less money for bills) to have better days off last week and this week. Last week I got Friday off and got to go to Dinner Club with my ward. For those of you who don't know what that is: We signed up to go and were split into groups and just went over to someones house for dinner and games. I had a lot of fun and got to know more of the people in my ward.

Now when I saw my schedule at work I was not too happy. I work 3 six hour days and that's all. I was told I'd be working 30 a week and I'm not even getting 20 this week.

However, now that I know all the fun things that are going on this week I am much happier. Tonight a bunch of us are going to Thanksgiving Point to go through the corn maze --I do have a problem though (no money) since I am working so much less than I was told I would be--it costs $11 to go. Tomorrow I work. Wednesday the Relief Society is getting together to carve pumpkins. Again I have to have money to get a pumpkin and some carving tools. Thursday I work. Friday is a hallowen party for single adults. I need a costume. Any ideas that won't cost money? And Saturday I work.

Why does EVERYTHING have to cost money? Am I rethinking keeping my car? You bet ya. It is a very reliable car so I hate to get rid of it. But if it meant I didn't have to borrow money I would do it.

I'm excited to have things to do and to not have to work, but seriously when you have no money to do the things they do what do you do?

Anywho my main point was to ask for non money suggestions for a halloween costume.

hehe

I obviously had no idea how to use the codes. This is what I got. Do you think it's true?
