My work is doing a cancer walk July 10th and 11th. I joined the team and signed up to walk 3 hours straight from 9pm until midnight on the 10th. Each team member has a goal of reaching 100 dollars in donations. If anyone can help me reach that goal I would be soo appreciative. Thank You!

New Bedding!!

I have been searching and searching online for the past 2 weeks for new bedding. My summer goal is to redecorate my room. Right now it is a mix matched mess of random stuff. I want to work on making it mine, and once I am gone, a decent spare bedroom. I am hoping the bedding will motivate me to paint, since this comforter will clash with my current bright baby blue walls. I am excited about this project! I will make sure to take before and after shots so you can see the transformation.

monday, monday

I work the early shift on Monday mornings, from 6am-noon. Its rough getting up so early but I enjoy having the rest of my day free. I always make a list of a bunch of things I plan to get done for the day but sometimes end up coming home, maybe starting laundry then falling asleep to make up for the couple hours of sleep the night before. My goal the past couple weeks have been to really use my monday afternoons. So today I did!

After work I drove over to Fullerton College to talk to a counselor. It has been about 4 or so years since I have been in school, and I am WAY overdue to go back. I am finally motivated and excited about it too. After talking to the counselor I realized exactly how much I have left to do. I am basically starting at the beginning. Oh well. I want to kick myself for my first few lazy and unmotivated semesters at Cypress, but whats done is done and now I have to deal with the consequences. I really liked my counselor and plan on making appointments with him through out the next semesters.

I then went home, ordered a memory foam matress pad from walmart. I havent been sleeping really well lately and my bed is pretty hard, so i am hoping this will help with my headaches, back aches and sleep. I am also going to invest in some new pillows. Hopefully that will help!

The rest of the afternoon has been spent taking care of random things that were on my list and in a couple hours Kurt and I are going to head to downtown disney to get coloring books for my nephews and a birthday present for my niece Rachel. Lizzie's birthday present came in the mail today and I am super excited to give it to her!

I hope everyone else's monday has been good!

Lately

I feel like I have been really busy lately... but when I think back on what I have been up too the past couple weeks its really not much. I made sure I went to Disneyland a couple times since my pass expired yesterday. I plan on renewing it but prob not til the end of summer. I really dont like going during the summer months when its really crowded and hot. By the end of the day too many people close to you in line have B.O., so I tend to wait until fall again to enjoy disneyland. The picture above is Kurt enjoying his two churros at Disneyland. Yes two. He never thinks one is enough.

I have been working a lot!! I forgot how much I love my job during summer. It gets super busy and a 10 hour day passes suprisingly fast. My friend Ashlee was hired to work a couple days a week to make a little extra money on the days she isn't doing hair. She has had 3 days of training the past two weeks and I think she is already getting overwhelmed between the two jobs so we will see if she stays or not. My boss Chris had me train her. Training in the resturant was kinda stressful, since I was training on 2 of my really busy days. My last Saturday I was able to train her on the beverage cart. It was a lot of fun to have company while driving around the course.
This is us at the end of the day feeling gross and wind blown. Below is the beginning of the day
My mom's birthday was yesterday!! She had a pretty busy work day but we were able get lunch together. I took her to Alicia's which is always a yummy treat. Seriously its my favorite little cafe in Brea. She then went back to school and I went and ran errands. I was at the mall that afternoon and decided to stop in the pet store cuz its always fun to look at the puppies. There was a Papillon dog. So i asked if i could hold him. Chloe is part papillon and [art chiwuawua so I wanted to see the difference between this dog and chloe. It was such a sweet little guy, and reminded me soo much of Chloe. I think she is mainly Papillon. The main difference was the size. this dog was 7.5 lbs. at 3 months old and Chloe is 4.5 lbs. full grown. Later that afternoon I took my mom to the pet store to check him out too. We also got my mom her free baskin robins ice cream for her birthday. That night my dad my taco salad and me kurt and my parents had dinner, open presents, ate cake and played games. All in all I think she had a great day! I know I had fun celebrating with her!
My mom and Chloe. Chloe seems to like to cuddle up to my mom every night, and gets upset if my mom is busy working and doesn't have a free lap for Chloe to curl up in.
