blog two complete!

It is so hard for me to stay ahead in school now. I am so busy with work all the time and just being sick and tired all the time I’m struggling everywhere. I have like two tests I need to take and a paper to write and more homework. I just don’t know how I am going to keep up. Hopefully I can make passing grades to get me by this semester and try to get my job to work more around my school. I just feel so behind. And it sucks because I never used to be behind. It seems like my crap run of luck lately is taking its toll on work and school. But things always get better. I have to go to court on Friday with my dad next week because my mom cannot keep her hands off of my dad’s money. Ridiculous. I don’t even want to be in the middle of this. I know dad is going to get his ass handed to him and his wallet emptied but with the lawyers in this town they just help steal it. So much stress! Never this much stress before! It really rings true what dad says, “Don’t be in a hurry to grow up.” No kidding! I don’t understand how he does it. He works for 12 hour shifts in a freezer loading cheese for goodness sakes. It would get so cold and your body would have to be so sore from repetitively throwing that many boxes of cheese. It makes me look like a big wimp for thinking housekeeping is hard. I just wish I could find something that I enjoyed doing but that is why it is called a job and not a hobby. I had an idea though. I could make cheesecakes and sell them. My sister’s boyfriend is a chef at Nonnah’s in Springfield and she said that they have one woman that makes all of their cheesecakes. She said that if I got the recipe down perfect and took some into a restaurant that most of the time they respect you for your effort and will give you a job or take you under their wing. I may try to peddle them at Blue Top now that I work there. It is worth a try. 

back on track or trying

It has been a crazy past couple of weeks. I have been so busy I regrettably could not get my last weeks homework done. I got down really sick and had to take a week and a half off of work. I am a lot better now and am glad to say that I am getting a new job. It is going to be hard telling my boss that I am done there but I am really excited about this new job. It is at Blue Top in Lamar as a waitress, cashier, cook, and busgirl. So now I have no days off for the next two weeks. My only two days off were Sunday and Wednesday but those are now Blue Top days. I am going to be sooooo tired! But after these first two weeks hopefully I can squeeze in a canoe trip and get everything done. I really think I am going to like this job. I have wanted to get into the restaurant business for a while now. Hopefully I could get put on as cook full time after a while. That is my plan at least and it will be awesome to get tips that way I won’t be broke all the time.

Today I was lucky enough that my boss from Super 8 called and said that I didn’t have to come in because there weren’t too many rooms needing cleaned. I finally got to sleep in. Tomorrow I have to put in my two weeks notice there and I’m not looking forward to it. I am glad I didn’t have to go to work though today because last night I grabbed the wrong end of my 420-degree curling iron. Luckily I did it with my left hand and not my right one. It hurt so bad I dropped it on the floor and started screaming obscenities. Dad who was on the couch asleep woke up to that! Woops! I felt so stupid. Could I really be more of a clutz? I think not!

Well as soon as my friend gets here from Springfield, the one I got in the wreck with we are going to get me some polo shirts for my new job. 

Weekly Gossip of Lamar(ridiculous)

Okay I know that most of you all are not from Lamar or even really know very much about it but I just want to tell you all a story that happened just a couple days ago. Rumor had it in Lamar that our Sheriff, an older Sheriff, and an attorney had been arrested for “tampering with evidence.” This rumor went strong for a couple of days and there was not a person in town that hadn’t heard about it. It was even all over Facebook. People were saying that they knew about the trial for them and it was being transferred to a different county.

            Well come to find out the older Sheriff that is a friend of mine has a bus route and for someone that got arrested he sure didn’t miss a day of work. There were lots of signs that told me this was just a rumor and come to find out that is all it was.

            Some guy that worked at Thorco said he saw the news and said that the news said all this. Well he heard wrong or just wanted to start a rumor. The actual story was that it was Barry County and it was the prosecuting attorney and the Sheriff for tampering of funds. Wow how can something so completely different be changed into that? And I assure you those three people accused caught hell for it. All because of small town rumors. This just kind of rubs me the wrong way considering one of them was an old family friend.

            The old gossip mill of Lamar is still in full swing!!

I can't keep count of the weeks anymore

            It has been a long week that is for sure. My job is absolutely killing my feet. I can’t seem to find shoes that are comfortable in the least on my feet. I have tried everything from flats to Nike shox and nothing works. So I plan on going to Joplin tonight to try and find something a lot more comfortable. My boyfriend Seth is also getting some shoes for a charity dodge ball game he is playing in. I want to go so bad but I have to go to work. It makes me contemplate being sick haha. I’m just kidding. Maybe.

            I withdrew from my theatre appreciation class just in the knick of time today. It seems like everything that I do lately is just in the knick of time. School was a lot easier when I didn’t have such a tiring job and I could actually sit down and concentrate on my homework. I don’t know how some kids do it. Like one of my friends, she has two jobs, drives to campus all the time and somehow still has the time and energy to go shopping for goodness sakes. Like I said I have no idea how she does it.

            The heat outside is incredible it feels like its summer already. Yesterday after work I went mushroom hunting with Seth and we found one solitary morel mushroom. Seth was unsatisfied and his mushroom hunger had to be fed so he stopped off at the grocery store on the way home and bought a package of portabellas and fried those along with our one little morel. But it was the best one of them all. He showed me a crazy trick if you like to find and fry morels. You soak them in water and pour salt in it and it makes all of these little bugs fly out and die. You wouldn’t have been able to see those! The one bad part about the mushroom hunting though was that I found two ticks on me. Geez, I hate ticks! Spring is here though so that makes it a lot better. 

Finally the nightmare is over:)

April 1, 2011

            Well today dad came into work to bring me some food and gave me some amazing news. After we looked at the shady Mazda in Fayetteville we went by a Mazda dealership in Bentonville and I fell in love with a car. It is exactly the same except it doesn’t have the spoiler and has a few more miles one it. It also has heated leather seats and leather interior. Another perk was the premium Bose sound system. Dad told me he had told the salesman that he would take it and we are getting ready to go get it. I am so tired from work but I think I can muster enough strength to go get this car;)

April 2, 2011

            We got the car and it is AMAZING! The heated seats are so nice in the mornings before work when it is cold. It drives great, even better than my last one actually. It doesn’t pull to the right at all and the tires are almost brand new. Today after work dad and I waxed it and I cleaned the wheels up really nice. I also put leather conditioner on the interior and rainexed the windows. The car looks beautiful ! Just like my last one. I love driving it again. Sorry to all that my blogs are late by a day but the way I think that I am going to blog from now on took another day to explain the full car story. I think that blogging kind of like a diary with days will work the best for me.

            Today after work I got some sunshine reflectors that you put in the windshield that are really pretty. They have flowers on them and I am hoping that they save my dash as it sits up at my work. I also got a cd case that hooks on the sun visor in an effort to keep my car way more organized this time. Well I had better get some cds made for it! It feels like spring outside!!:)

car struggle 2011

March 31, 2011

Well today I get my new car!!! I really hope!!!! Dad makes the final decision and I hope that it is a yes for today. The car is a 2008 Mazda6 just like the last one only with less miles and it has been better taken care of. I also like the color a lot better it is silver and kind of gold. It will be nice to have my car back and it does so much better on gas that my spare car, a 92 grand marquis. And it is way more reliable because than the 92.

             March 31, 2011

            That was my hope for the day but it is later now and I have some news. Dad was on the phone with state farm trying to get a loan for the car and they needed the vin number. Well I got online to get it and the car was gone off of autotrader. So I call the car lot and they say we sold the car. But the salesman said “I have a great Nissan Altima.” I said, “I don’t want a Nissan.” He says, “ I have a great Toyota Camry.” I say, “I don’t want anything from Japan. Goodbye.” So this salesman was going to let us drive two hours to tell us that he sold the car and try to get us to buy another one. Wow that is ridiculous! Gas is so expensive!

            I am so tired I could fall asleep standing up. The last two days I have had to go into work at six in the morning, which means I have to get up at five thirty. Last night I went to Fayetteville to look at a Mazda six to replace the one that we had our eyes on. To say the least it is kind of a piece. It wouldn’t even start when we tried to turn it on the guy had to jump it. Dad didn’t let on like he knew but it had front end damage that was not on the carfax. I guess they didn’t report it. They had spot painted the front bumper really badly. Dad also notice parts in the front of the car had been mashed a little bit which indicates that it has been damaged. I’m just kind of depressed about getting a new car.
