There was a new ER on tonight! YAY! Shows are back!
We move to our new home in 3 weeks from today ---- I can't wait!! And then I don't have to move again for like 3 or 4 years..I can't believe it.... I haven't lived someplace longer than 1.25 years since Tomahawk Wisconsin, back in in 2001. Seriously...so yeah, I'm excited.
Oh and great news, Craig got an awesome summer job with a really nice golf course in Niagara Falls. I'm really happy for him because it's going to be doing something that he loves, and he gets to play free golf at a really nice course that we would never be able to afford. I was thinking about picking up a second job but I am really hoping I can just keep picking up enough shifts at Old Navy to make it around 30 - 35 hours a week. If i can do that, I don't think I'll need a second job but if not, I'll have to find something. We're both excited to have our first full year of school completed...only 3 more to go now, although that seems like a lot. I love my online classes and would highly recommend it to anyone whose not 18 and wants to go back to school. It's a great learning environment for adults. And check out what I learned how to do in photoshop - who knew it had animation capabilities? Not me!! This was my assignment for this week... we had to use our logos we made last week and turn them into an animation :)Labels: Empire State College, ER, old navy |

Everyone needs to get to Old Navy this weekend...serious sale going on - 75% of all winter clearance! That means 75% off of $100 coats... how can one not take advantage of that? I definitely couldn't!!
Here I am sporting my new Ontario-winter coat.... never had one with fur before and it's soooooooo soft! Labels: old navy, sale |

| Christmas and such |
I haven't gotten around to posting about Christmas yet. I was pretty busy - I worked the 23rd, 24th, 26th and 27th! But I had this weekend off which was great because I am just getting over a cold and needed the rest.
Christmas was great, Craig and I slept in and spent the morning together opening our presents from each other and my family. Then we went to my in-laws for the evening, and we all went out to a chinese buffet which was great. It was a nice one - I had crab legs and a big ice cream sunday that I made myself. Yum. Then we came back home.
On boxing day I worked from 8-3, and then we drove right back to Cambridge for a Church family dinner. It was great, there was probably 15-20 people there and we of course ate a wonderful home-cooked meal by Susan. Here are a few pics of the holiday. The last ones are from our Church's christmas play. Talk about high tech - there was all sorts of art involved; dancing, singing, drama and even painting! Very "wake-touresque" and ywamish. You all would've loved it. And yes thats a person hanging from the ceiling.      Labels: bethany community church, christmas, old navy |

| lil update |
Well it's been a few days since my last post, but I just haven't really had much to say. I've mostly been doing homework and working, since last week was the final week of school and then of course at Old Navy it's super busy. I'm still loving my job, and really hoping I can stay on after things slow down. I was only hired as a seasonal worker but I'm hoping they decide to keep me on staff because I really enjoy it and have gotten the hang of it all.
Hmm.... what else. I saw August Rush after some of my friends were raving about it. It thought it was very touching and I cried a lot. And I finally started reading A Thousand Splendid Suns, which is so far very sad but good. That's about all I can think of. Oh yeah Randy visited us last weekend, that was great!
That's all for now, I've got to work at 6:30 am tomorrow morning, and then again on the 26th and 27th so it's going to be pretty busy! Hope all is well out there and Merry Christmas! Labels: old navy |

| Vacation! |
Tomorrow morning Craig and I leave for Ohio to stay with the fam for 5 days. I'm so excited! You might not hear from me much for the next few days, then again I usually do try to get in a post with a few pics while I'm there so I'll give it a shot. (check out the old pic....nice stach dad ;)
This week I worked two 9 hr days and yesterday I worked from 6 am - 10 am. I never knew about all the behind the scenes stuff that has to happen to allow a store to run! Around Christmas time they have employees working overnights to get all the new products out. That's my job so far, "product placement". I really like it too! I can help customers while I'm on the floor if they ask me but my main job is to empty never ending carts of new products all day, and also to set up the displays (yesterday I dressed manikins!).
Those of you who don't watch ER are seriously missing out...it's the last season and they're taking everyone through the ringer before it ends. Just a small recap for those who used to watch:
Abby and Luka got married, had a kid, Luka had to go back to Croatia right away to take care of his ailing father (for 6 months!), Abby fell off the wagon BIG time while he was gone and ended up in bed with the new ER chief (Stanley Tucci...yuck) and is now FINALLY off to rehab!
Sam's kid started their appartment on fire so she put him in some sort of detention centre. She's now slowly starting to hook up with Gates (Uncle Jesse from full house) and she's trainging to become a paramedic.
When Luka was the ER chief and had to fire Kerry Weaver, so before he could do it she quit and moved away. When Luka left for Croatia he left the ER cheif's position wide open and has been filled with various people since.
Pratt is mad that he wasn't made the new Chief, and is contemplating leaving the ER now.
Archie is still the same, silly, comic relief, annoying but sometimes sweet.Labels: Abby and Luka, ER, old navy |

| a lil' update |
 I had my first shift at Old Navy yesterday. It went pretty well, it was mostly just training, watching videos on how The Gap started (Gap owns Old navy and Banana Republic) and learning how to fold things. I work this week on Tuesday and Wednesday from 7am - 4pm where I'll be unloading boxes and setting up displays from 7 am - 10 am , then at 10 when the store opens I'll work on the floor doing random things. I think I am going to like it!
We are going to my parents' place in Ohio from the 8th - 13th and I can't wait. My brother waited in the parking lot of Best Buy from midnight - 4 am on Saturday night, and then stood outside the store in the rain and cold from 4 am - 8am to wait in line for a Nintendo wii. He was one of the lucky ones to get one of the 27 available for the week and I am soooo excited to play it when we get there! Mario party here I come :)
Well not too much else is going on. I am soo ready for this semester to be over with but I still have another 2.5 weeks to go.... I've got 2 papers for my religion class to write still, 1 paper for sex/gender class, and a 300 word essay in Spanish. Ugh! I just want to be on christmas break and not think about it. I registered for my January semester classes, and I'm taking:
Human Nutrition
Digital Art and Design (photoshop)
American History 1
Finalizing and Planning my Degree (this is an actual class where I'll work with my advisor to plan out the rest of my 3 years of school and make sure I get all the requirements for my degree).
I'm looking forward to the change! Especially the digital art class.
Well, gotta get back to work. I'm learning about direct/indirect objects in Spanish.. I can't even remember what they are in English! Adios amigos, hasta luego.Labels: Empire State College, old navy |

Good news - Old Navy called this morning and offered me a job. Finally! I start training this weekend.
Ooh..and did anyone see SVU last night? Whoa it was intense. Elliot has a new baby!Labels: christmas, Law and Order SVU, old navy |

| The Goose is Getting Fat |
Well, the red cups are out at Starbucks which means christmas is coming! Yay...I love christmas. Not a huge fan of the winter though, which is fast approaching in this neck of the woods. Craig and I were out on a walk a few days ago and by the time we were coming around the block in felt like the beginning of a blizzard! Luckily it wasn't cold enough for it to stick. We tried to get some pictures of it but they didn't turn out too great...you can kind of see the snow though.
The job hunt is still going okay, went into Old Navy this morning for an interview. It's promising, they're looking to hire 15 people but it's only a seasonal position. If offered though, I will most likely take it. The manager said some people will be able to stay on after christmas, so maybe I could be one of those people...who knows! I just keep praying that whatever the right place for me will come up and that I'll know it's where I belong. Until then, I'll just keep doing my part.
