California

I went to California with my boyfriend for Christmas. I still can't hardly believe I was able to go.

We had such a good time. After spending five days straight with each other we still like each other. I got to meet his family, which was nice. It gave me a bit of an opportunity to understand him better. We had fun riding in the airplanes making fun of the safety cards. We stared out the window the entire time out there seeing landscape that was new. California was beautiful. We went into the mountains and saw his dad's cabin. We stayed at his uncles house in the Valley and saw fruit groves. We went and had dinner in San Francisco at fisherman's warf and drove over the Golden Gate Bridge. I made him hunt down the John Wayne statue in Orange county. We had a great time together. :)

The Worst Week Ever

I think this has been just about one of the worst weeks ever. It started last weekend when I was just super moody. I even cried because i was told to eat more fish. Sunday morning I had to get up super early to open at Bob Evans, which isn't too big of a deal except I had a cold. Then its bed time and the tornado sirens go off, so we have to stay downstairs until the warning is over. Then I FINALLY go to bed way late and I have to work the next day. Monday was okay besides the fact I was still sick and moody and super tired. Tuesday Grandpa died. I was talking to ana and found out that Ike was arrested and might have to go to jail. Wednesday the only person who likes me at Phesant Point told me he was in a car accident and rolled his truck twice. Fortunately he was okay. Then there is just a bunch of stuff going. Its just been a bad week, I've been super tired and quite stressed. GG has been really good in putting up with me.

Grandpa

Grandpa died today.

I didn't expect it to happen. I know he was almost 98 (his Birthday is in December), but he was supposed to live to be a hundred. I love him so much, he is my favorite relative. He has always been there for my mom and me. I regret not calling him like I should have my mom said he was lonely. He was always affectionate, you could go give him hugs. He'd tell you that he loved you. I'm going to miss him. He doesn't want a big deal made out of his death. There isn't even going to be a funeral. I don't like that. I want some type of closure, but I'm not the one making the decisions. I just love my grandpa.

Saturday

Its been slow around here lately. Things have settled into a routine. I'm working my 6 days a week. M-F for ES and Sundays at Bobs. Having a Saturday off has got to be the coolest thing ever. I can't remember the last time I've had one, I had a period of about 9 months where I had weekends off since my first job. I went to the bank, I went to the store. I bought new clothes and super cute shoes :)I hung out with gg. It was so nice. I could get used to this.

Doing the 9 to 5

Well, actually its 8-4:30, but you get the idea. I have a grown up job, no more staying up super late doing nothing. No more not having to work during the week unless I feel like it. I recently started going to a small group Bible study and one of the girls there works for ESI. She started by working for a temp agency for express secripts, and decided to pass my resume on. Well two days later I went in for and interview and got a job. Yay. I started on Wed. of last week. Its an easy enough job, the people there are nice. I make about what I do at Bob's but at least here I can move up. For the rest of this week I am working to cover someone who had surgery and is on leave. After that I have no idea what I will be doing, but I hope its more interesting. I need something that will challenge me at least a lil bit.

I need a day off. I have worked 8 of the last nine days, plus I dont get another day off until next Saturday, if I'm lucky. :( Being an orphan makes things difficult too, because I get all the house stuff. Not that there really is that much to do when its just me.

GG and I celebrated two months on Friday. He got me red roses. :) I really like him a lot. A whole lot. Kristen said she knew after two months. I really like him. Its weird, because we do talk about serious stuff sometimes... He is super cool. We'll see....
