Things....

So I guess it's been awhile since I updated this blog. But I guess I got to the point where..what does it matter if I update this. Because..does anyone actually read this? I mean no one comments on it. And truth be told I use my journal alot more, because I can express myself more. Get my feelings out and not worry about hurting people. But lately people haven't been too bad, except one lady at work. She can get on people's nerves. Oh well. 

So yea. Haven't updated since Sept. But as I said, not much has happened. I have been playing with Eli, reading, writing, working, watching TV and more. My brother bought a Wii. it is so much fun. I also carry Eli for walks through the yard. 

My Thanksgiving was good. Ate way too much. lol. But had fun. Then work got busy! Although it really wasn't a bad season. Don't get me wrong, we did get some grumbly customers. But really not that many. It seemed like we waited and waited for Christmas to come and now it's over. But I had a good Christmas and sure had plenty of laughs. And I got some nice gifts. I liked them all. It's still kind of hard to believe Christmas is over.  The other night-Christmas Eve, my brother, sister and I played Wii. That was fun. Also it snowed on Christmas Eve and stayed for most of Christmas Day so we had a white Christmas. Yay! And it snowed all day here today. So beautiful. Also got a new cell phone. I love it.  Well..guess that is all for this blog. goodnight. 

Playing Catch Up...

Wow..I can't believe it's been almost 3 months since I last updated.  There has been so many times I wanted to update, but never did.  But also nothing really exciting has happened. A few things were fun.  But before I go into them, on a sadder note.. :*(  My cat, Jasper had passed away on July 29th(2012). He was 10 years old. But that was the hardest and longest day of my life. I cried so hard and couldn't stop.  I mean I did for a few minutes/hours and then the tears came back.  Even today I still cry occasionally about the loss of Jasper.  I still can't believe he's gone.  He seemed in pain on Friday, July 27th and then ok.  But Saturday was the worst.  And then by Sunday morning, he passed away.  I was so glad he didn't have to suffer too long and I didn't have to work that day.  I don't know what happened..what went wrong. In a way, I wish I did, but then again..maybe I don't.  Because if it was something that could of been fixed, then I would regret everything.  But yeah, Jasper passed away.  But on a happier note, I did get a new kitten a month later. Sometimes I think it's too soon, but then also I am so glad I did adopt him.  He makes me laugh and also feel almost whole again.  I mean he will never fully replace Jasper or the hole in my heart 100%.  But I am so glad I had adopted him.  :)  I named him Eli after Eli Manning.  Eli's my favorite football player.  :)  He is an orange cream kitten.  Maybe eventually I will get a picture of him up here.  :)

Let's see..I have been reading, writing, watching TV, playing with Eli, working, and some more.  I was to the movies twice in July.  I saw Step Up Revolution and The Watch.  Both were good.  One day my parents and I went to the marina.  Looked at the flowers in the Butterfly Garden.  So pretty.  Then another time, me and my parents went for a picnic to the halfway dam.  Yum! Then we walked around.  Also another time me, my parents and brother and his girlfriend went to Knoebels for my brother's company's picnic.  Got a free meal out of it.  :)  Then we rode some rides, and played games.

This summer has been pretty lazy and boring compared to other summers.  And I feel as if I lost my best friend.  She seemed to change at the end of last year and really changed this year.  She says she misses me and wants to hang out with me, but she doesn't seem to do anything about it.  She doesn't come over, or ask me my schedule and days off.  Shouldn't she make more of an effort to hang out if she misses me or wants to hang out.  I shouldn't have to keep texting my schedule all the time.  Oh, well.  It seems like I always have trouble making and keeping friends.  What is wrong with me?  I don't understand.  Oh, well.  I have been re-reading some of my old journals, and other than working at a new place, it seems like my life is pretty much the same.  Oh, and back then, we went more places than we do now.  Sometimes I really miss the old days and being a kid or just my younger self.  

Well I could go on, but I am tired and want to get my pajamas on.  I worked 5-9.  And it was pretty busy.  Taking shelves down.  Getting ready for Christmas.  Oh, no! LoL.  Then filled bags, boxes and ornaments.  Plus not to mention, waiting on customers.  It was a busy night..so now I just want to like I said, get my pajamas on and crawl into bed and watch some Hollywood Heights.  So I will end here and try to update this more tomorrow and more often.  Have a great night!!

 

Catching Up....and more

So, it's been awhile since I last wrote and almost a whole month! I'd like to say alot has happened, but it really hasn't. My life is the same old story.  Boring! So you all are probably wondering why I even post.  But I like writing and telling about my boring life incase someone is out there like me.  Who thinks their life is boring too.  Then we'd have something in common and have something to talk about.  Also to say what books I have read and what movies I have seen.  Also my feelings.  Which again, you probably are wondering why dont I just write in a journal.  Well, again..to help people out, have people help me out.  Anyway...like I said not much has happened in the month since I last wrote. 

Let's see..I have been working.  When I'm not at work, I have Jasper out alot, read alot, write, check out fb and my email.  I usually spend most of my days outside.  Doesn't matter how hot it gets.  Jasper loves to me out and I do too.  And when it's really hot, I find ways too cool off.  Dump water on my head or play in the hose.  Don't have a pool.  As I said I have read alot.  In May I finished my Bible.  But I love reading it, so I am still reading it.  I am on the book of Psalms now.  I also read alot of books.  To name some, I have read by Nicholas Sparks-"The Lucky One" and "The Rescue".  I also read "The Cat Who Could Read Backwards", "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo", "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and the "Second Summer of the Sisterhood".  And alot more.  Well not alot, but a few more.  I am currently reading "The Third Summer of the Sisterhood".  It's good so far.  As for movies, well I have't been to the theater since maybe April.  But on TV or DVD I seen a few.  I seen: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2, Pirates of the Caribbean:On Stranger Tides, Lilo and Stitch, and more I can't remember at this time. 

As I wrote above, I have Jasper out alot. I have no idea why he wants out so much.  I mean he is an in the house cat, yet he wants out alot and all day.  He constantly meows until I take him out.  Probably feels cooler out there to him than in our house.  So he goes out almost all day.  But I don't mind,  I like being out too.  I just don't get any work done in the house.  haha..  It's not like he walks around.  He does for alittle but then just lays around. 

This summer has been boring compared to the last few. Oh, well.  Guess they all can't be filled with fun and excitement.  But I wish things were different.  But then again..things change, people change and usually for the worst.  I just really don't understand why I have so much trouble keeping and making friends.  It's like..seriously what is wrong with me?  I mean, there has to be something right?  I mean to lose that many friends or have no one..it has to be me?   Not them?  Some days I don't mind being at home, spending time with Jasper but I just wish somedays I wouldn't be forgotten.  Wouldn't be left out.  I wish I had someone to hang out with.  Why can't I make good long lifetime friends? Of course I could go on and on.  And complain about things along these lines, but I doubt anyone wants to keep reading a blog where I complain.  Especially about not having friends, because not having friends isn't as serious or horryfying as what happened in Colorado.  I can't even being to imagine how panicked everyone was, how horrifying that was, and still is.  That is such a terrible and sad incident.  Thoughts and prayers to everyone involved or knew ones who were. Seriously though, what is wrong with people?? 

Anyway..I guess that's enough for this blog.  Goodnite

Been Awhile

Wow..it really has been awhile since I last wrote. Almost a whole month. But what can I say? To some people it might be considered boring, but to me, I had my fun. I did mostly the usual stuff I always do. Have Jasper out. Which now, it's to the point where he wants to be out all the time. Even if he just lays around outside and sleeps. We do walk around occasionally. And if he doesn't get out right away, he will constantly meow or take a poop. LOL. If it wasnt for the facts that he's declawed in the front, likes to run far out of our yard without a leash or if there weren't dogs in the neighborhood who wonder sometimes, I'd leave him out. So yeah, he stays in until I am ready and can go out. And we usually stay out most of the day. Since it's so nice out, I want to be out all day anyway. You know, it's funny. When I was a kid, I wouldn't be out as much. You would think as a kid I would want to be out more. But no. Not until I got Jasper really did I start to want to be out all day. Sometimes I wonder if it wasn't for him, would I still be outside as much? What would my life be like without him? I really don't want to think about that. I love Jasper so much. So other than have Jasper out, I read alot. My Bible, Bible Verses, and Daily Devotionals. I finished reading the whole Bible in May. I am so proud of myself. Now I am just skipping around and will read random books. I am on Psalms. In January I think I will print one of those lists, read the Bible in a year. And try to read my Bible in a year. Also I have been reading books. Which in my last blog as you can tell I read and finished Coming Back Stronger by Drew Brees. Then I read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It was pretty good. Right now I am reading The Rescue. It's by Nicholas Sparks and is really good. I am enjoying it. Also occasionally shoot hoops, take walks, work, watch TV, check out the internet, and some more. I created a Christian facebook page, which isn't doing too good. Only 11 likes and hardly anyone interacts with it. Maybe 3 of the 11. Sometimes I wonder why bother with all of this..blog, facebook profile and pages? I mean yeah people like them, and are my friends, but no one bothers with me. No one ever really comments or bothers with me. Why? Why do I have so much trouble finding good friends who want to bother with me? What is wrong with me? Is there something wrong with me? Why do I have such a bad time making and keeping friends? Ok..enough on that. So yeah, as you can tell my life is kind of boring. I don't understand why I have to have such a hard time typing. It seems no matter where I type, touchscreen or computer my letters don't come out right. Maybe I am just going too fast or my fingers are too fat. haha.. ok. I am starting to get angry over keys..time to get off and get some sleep.

Drew Brees:Coming Back Stronger

So I finished reading a book called "Coming Back Stronger" written by Drew Brees. Drew Brees seems like a great guy and role model. Also a great inspiration with his faith and his ability to trust God and lean to Him and not blame him for anything. He as I wrote above, "Coming Back Stronger". It is a great book. I recommend it to everyone to read. I have never met Drew, but think it would be awesome to meet him and I hope to be able to meet him one day. Now for alittle details from the book. Drew grew up in a very sports-minded family. They were always a very athletic and competitive family. They competed in all sports at every get together that they had. Drew first played football for Westlake High School, where he even almost quit playing football. With talking to his mom he decided to stick it out and play. And he ended up being the starting JV quarterback his sophomore year and his junior year, he was the varsity starter. But then he tore his ACL at the end of his junior year season and heading into the third round of the playoffs. He could of just gave up right then and there and not play football again. But he pushed through rehab and got better and came back stronger. And with this injury, he listened God in church after it happened. And he became stronger in his faith. He strengthened his relationship with God and trusted God. He believed in God and that God had a reason for his injury. He didn't get mad at God or even blame him, but used the injury as I said to grow closer to God and listen to God and learn things happen for a reason and you can grow and learn from what happens in your life. And because of his injury the year before, alot of the colleges didn't sign Drew to their college or even give him a chance. But he didn't give up the hope. But then Purdue looked at him and wanted him. So he ended up at Purdue University. Also that is where he met his future wife, Brittany. After college he was drafted to San Diego. And he played for the Chargers until his shoulder injury. And again he didn't give up. He was determined to get better. He worked hard and relied on God. And once again, he came back stronger. And then when he was able to come back to play football, the Chargers wouldn't let him start. He would of been the back up quarterback. So he looked at different teams and waited for one to pick him. But it seemed like no one wanted to take a chance on him. But then it came that two teams were looking to have him play for them. The New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins. He visited both teams and ended up choosing New Orleans Saints. While their first few seasons didn't go as well as they hoped, Drew didn't give up. He kept at it and was a great leader to his team. He treated them like family and helped them out. And over the years, they grew and got better and even ended up being Superbowl Champions in 2009. Also in 2009, Drew and Brittany had a son name Baylen. Now you will have to read the book for more details on the games and injuries and also about his life. But before I go, here are some quotes I like that Drew mentions throughout the book. Drew prayed to God and trusted Him even when his arm hurt so bad and he was in complete agony. He had prayed, "God, I know that if You bring me to it, You will bring me through it. I know You have a plan, but quite honsetly I don't see it right now. But I know it's there. I know I have to believe. I know I need to have faith. I have to trust You. And I do trust You. But it's hard right now." Yeah, he said it's hard right now, but he still trusted in God and believed Him. He didn't give up. And he didn't stop believing in God or trusting Him. Here are some more quotes: "You're only as strong as your weakest link." "But no one ever said the Christian faith is about living according to your own terms or time table. It's about dropping anchor when you're in an unpredictable place. It's about knowing that though things may not make sense on paper, you have to trust God to see the bigger picture. You have to choose to live from the heart and trust what you cannot see." "If God leads you to it, he'll lead you through it. Everything happens for a reason, and everything is part of his master plan." "If you let adversity do it's work in you, it'll make you stronger. When you come out on the other side, you just may be amazed at the things God has allowed you to accomplish-things you might not have bleieved were possible." "All God wants is for you to utilize the talents and abilities He has given you-to be the best you can be and to reach your full potential. All you have to do is give Him the credit in return." "I truly believe that God can use anything-even an injury-for good. I believe that God has a plan for people's lives, even when that plan doesn't work out they way we think it should." "God's refining process is never easy. God's sometimes puts us in the fire, and it's going to hurt, but it will mold and shape us into the people he intends for us to be." And this quote is from his wife Brittany, "That which does not kill you makes you stronger." Well that is all. Want to know more..like I said, go read "Coming Back Stronger." I highly recommend that you read this book. It's a great book on Drew. It's also inspirational. Hope you liked this blog. :)

Mothers day

• Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful and caring mother! Also to all the other mothers out there...HAPPY MOTHER'S Day!!

A little bit of everything

Let's see..I last posted on Thursday.  Thursday I worked at night.  It was a pretty good night.  Wasn't too bad, not too busy, but not overly slow.  I was with another supervisor, so it felt like old times before I became supervisor.  The other lady closed both registers and did the reports.  I took trash down and vaccuumed.  But then I did take the deposit for her.  But when I got to the bank, the deposit box was out of order.  Well let's say I was a little frustrated and mad.  But then I called my manager and was told what to do.  I took the deposit back into the store and then was fine after that.  Friday work was so busy and people just seemed to be everywhere!! We were so busy almost the whole night.  I was fine up until maybe the last 40 mins.  Then the people were starting to annoy me and kids were annoying me.  Usually I am not like that.  I don't know what happened.  But I just breathed deep and ignored them the best I could and kept my frustrations to myself.  Then finally when everyone was gone, I was trying to count the drawer and was coming up over.  Then I realized I didnt have the right report printed out.  So once I got all the right reports printed I counted the drawers and everything came out.  I kind of went fast though.  I messed up doing the reports, beacuse I tried to rush.  Now I didn't save it, so I was able to go back through and do it right.  And then everything came out right.  But I really really need to slow down! I need to take my time and not rush! I mean really, I have no where really I need to be.  Yeah, I'd like to get home and relax before bed.  But I really need to slow down and take my time.  Work needs to come first and come out right.  And then when everything is down and I know I did my best, and am truly done with things, then come home and relax.  So like I said really there is no reason I should rush.  I need to take my time.  It seems no matter how hard I try I always want to rush and get things done early and get out of there to come home.  What I need to do is what I do sometimes.  I need to pray to God more and have Him truly help me out and help me to slow down.  Take my time.  Ok..well enough on that.  

Thurs and Fri-other than work I have been reading alot.  My Bible, Daily Devotional, and Bible Verses through my email.  I also had Jasper out alot.  He loves to be out.  Even if he just sits or lays down.  He is funny.  :)  I also have been reading my book.  I am reading about Drew Brees.  He is a good man and Christian.  His book is good so far.  I never met him, but he seems like a good man.  I hope one day I can get to meet him too.  Well..not too much else.

Today(Saturday)-I was off all day.  I was so glad.  :)  It was so nice and beautiful.  I loved it out.  I mostly relaxed today, but then why shouldn't I?  I mean I do deserve a day to relax right?  Well anyway..yeah I relaxed all day.  I had Jasper out alot and most of the day.  We walked around and sat.  I also read alot. My Bible, Bible Verses online and my Devotional.  Also some of my book on Drew Brees.  It's still really good.  I am enjoy reading about Drew.  Then I did shoot some hoops.  Fun!  Later my brother and I went for a walk to the bridge.  It was fun.  Saw some little fishies, threw some rocks in and took some pictures.  But other than that, I really didn't do much.  As I said..I relaxed and had a peaceful day off.  Now I have Jeff Dunham on.  He is funny!

I also was reading some of a friend's old blogs.  Some of them are so great and helpful to me.  She is such a godly person.  She is a Christian and such an inspiration.  And a role model to me and others.  Yeah she is younger than me, but that is how I feel.  She is the type of person and Christian I want to be.  I mean I am a Christian, but I really I don't feel like I do much to show it.  I don't go to church, because my parents don't.  And I don't drive, so it's really not that easy for me to go.  And I really don't have too much money to donate either to charities.  So yeah, I really don't feel like I am pleasing God.  I know He loves me no matter what, but I just can't help but feel like I am not living up to my potentional.  I am not being a good Christian.  I do read my Bible and share my Devotional sometimes and sometimes religious pictures.  And I pray for others all the times when they ask me too.  But yeah..I'm really not the best person or Christian.  It's something I really need to work on.  

Well..not too much else going on.  So goodnight everyone!!

Posting Things

So yesterday I basically was mad and writing what I feel. I really shouldn't write it all online. Why? I mean there is only a slim chance that people who I am talking about will read this. You might be thinking..how do I know? Well this blog site, I haven't shared with anyone I know. Again you might be thinking why? Well I guess, because I want something to be my own. No one copying my idea or doing something that I started first. I did add this site to other sites under websites, but I doubt anyone paid attention or even cares. But yea, with hardly anyone knowing about this blog I can freely type what I want and hope that someone out there will read it and enjoy reading it. I know it's boring at times, but hey..my life is kind of boring. But even then I should becareful what I write about. I don't want people to come across this and automatically think I am talking about them. Although some days I really think why post anything at all? Why not just write everything in a journal? Because alot of time, I feel as if I am wasting my time by posting blogs. Well by posting anything. Because no one comments my stuff. Or even follows my blog. Do people even read my blog? Sometimes I feel I am just writing form myself and wasting time. But I am sure there is someone out there reading my blog, but just not.commenting it. And who knows down the road, maybe God will surprise me and let someone comment me and follow my page. Only He and time can tell. Guess that's why they say don't quit. Never give up. You just never know what the future will hold and never know who is reading your work and if it's helping anyone, because it just might be. But I probably won't be writing too much on my feelings on here, don't want to start anything. I should really learn how to confront my feelings head on and talk to the person instead of writing about it on a public site. But sometimes I really hate hurting people and sometimes people take the truth hard and get all defensive on you and hate you anyway. But it's something I want to work on. Tell the truth fully and not be afraid to stand up for myself. I shouldn't have to do something I am not comfortable with. But anyway...enough on that. * * * Not too much has happened lately. Mostly have Jasper out, read, work and some more. Nothing exciting anyway. Sometimes I wish my life was more exciting, but then it's nice to be able to enjoy a simple and peaceful life.

Not to except so much

I really try to be a good person and not expect so much from people. I try not to get my hopes up, so later I am just crushed. But you know what..I end up getting my hopes up and crushed. And I still expect things from people. But like I said..in the end I get hurt..crushed. Also disappointed and mad. Some examples would be like when I comment someone so much on their fb page and I think they would do the same, but no. They don't. They ignore me. Or they would write back to my comment but they don't. Or if I write someone a letter, well I expect to get one back from them. And sometimes they say they will but I never hear from them or they say they have one started but months pass by and I still don't hear from them. I know these are stupid little things, but I can't help it. Sometimes it's the littlest things that can really hurt someone. And I hate liars and braggers. And that the fact that some people think that the world revolves around them, well guess what!! It doesn't. And sometimes people can be so clueless when it comes to what I wrote. Some people think you are talking about them when in reality it's people in general, but then others agree with you but it's them who you are talking about. Some days I wish I could get rid of fb. Because it usually turns into one big ol drama fest. And if it wasn't for some people, I think I would close mine. But some people are so nice and caring and it's the only way to talk to them. So yea I don't want to get rid of it just yet. But only time and God can tell how long I keep it. And another thing I hate is when someone gets mad over how you do your fb page or who you keep ir delete as friends. I mean it's MY fb page, not yours! And if people are going to ignore me and not bother me, than why keep that person as a friend!! And I hate to be mean, but I kind of feel like I got lied to this past week. I can't say for sure, but that is how I feel. Well I could go on, but don't really have the time or patience right now..some people I swear are annoying on purpose!!

Goal and more

You know..even if you only work at something just for the day or even 15 minutes or so and you accomplish your goal, it feels so great. Like today my brother and I were shooting hoops like we basically do everyday after lunch except weekends, but anyway.. We were talking and shooting hoops and he said something about shooting with his left arm even though his dominant hand is the right. Like me. But while I was shooting normal, I thought it'd be cool to try something different. So I made a goal to at least one time get the ball in the hoop with my left hand. So while I tried alot of times in between shooting with my right hand. I came close a few times and then way off others. I prayed to God that He help me or at least let me get one left handed shot in the hoop. And while it didn't happen right away when I prayed, it was a few minutes later. And I got my left handed shot in the hoop. I was so happy and God answered my prayer in His own time. :) So I shot a few more right handed but then quit. I was tired. But it did feel good to try something new and succeed at it. * * * Well..not much has been going on lately. Nothing too exciting. I work. Work is still going good. As usual some days are busy and others are so slow and boring. Supervisor job is good too. * * * I had Jasper out alot. He loves to be out. Even if he just lays somewhere. Also have been reading my Bible, Bible Verses and Daily Devotional. Not sure when I last wrote and what I was reading. But I finished reading The Hunger Games Triology. Lately I finished Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Both were good. Now I am taking a break from reading fiction(fake) stories and reading something true. I'm reading Coming Back Stronger by Drew Brees. It's good so far. After this book, my manager gave me a book to borrow, so I will be reading that one next. So other than working, reading and having Jasper out. Not too much else has been going on. I have gone for some walks, shot hoops, watched tv. On Sunday, my parents and I went to Keithan's Bluebird Garden. Although I didn't see any bluebirds. Lol. Lots of pretty flowers though. * * * Well there's more I would like to write about, but I am getting tired as it is almost midnight and I am on my phone and my touchscreen is really starting to get on my nerves. Errr!! Haha So I will end here. Not sure how many people read this. Never get any comments. Well goodnight.

Tim Tebow

So I figured I'd do something different. Instead of talking about me and my life and boring everyone, I'd figure I'd tell you all about my favorite football player. TIM TEBOW! I like Tim Tebow alot and as I wrote above he is my favorite football player. And it has nothing to do with him being famous and making alot of money. Although, if he wasn't famous, I doubt I would of heard of him. But anyway..the reason I like him is because he is a nice guy. I never met him, but he seems nice and caring. Also he is a Christian. He stands up for what he believes in. He is strong in his faith. He isn't afraid to share his faith and wear Bible Verses on patches under his eyes or pray with other teammates. Not afraid to thank God during games and is always praising God. Giving him all the glory. And he is always helping people out and helps out charities and has his own foundation to help others out. And I am a Christian too, but I want to become a better Christian like Tim. Be strong in my faith. And as I mentioned, I never met Tim, but I really hope I get to meet him one day. :) Now for alittle info on Tim. He has his own book. It's called "Through My Eyes: A Quarterback's Journey". It is a really good book. Also very inspiring. I recommend it to everyone to read. It goes through his life from when he was born up to being drafted to Denver. It also has lots of Bible Verses throughout the book and also has some pictures of him from when he was born and up to being a Bronco. I won't write the whole story, but just some important facts on Tim. :) So don't ruin the story for anyone. Timothy Richard Tebow was born on August 14, 1987 while his parents and siblings were on a mission trip to the Philippines.(Makati City). He has 2 sisters and 2 brothers. He is the youngest child. Tim was in the Philippines until he was 3. Then he along with is family moved back to the U.S. and lived on a farm in Florida. He grew up playing every sport imaginable. Basketball, baseball, football, ect. He was homeschooled instead of going to a public school. And growing up, he learned the Bible

and Bible Verses. And they put the verses into songs and hymns. Tim has dyslexia, just like his dad and his one brother. But it didn't stop him from being a su ccess with school, sports or anything else. Tim played for the baseball team Tidal Wave that traveled over Florida for different games. He first played football he played at the Lakeshore Athletic Association. Then played football for Nease High School. After that he was accpeted to many colleges, but ended up accpeting and going to the University of Florida.(Florida Gators). He made them 2006 National Champions. And became Heisman Trophy in 2007. And National Champions in 2008. Also throughout his college years he went on mission trips to the Philippines. And helping out at his Uncle Dick's orphanage. Despite alot of injuries, the flu, and a concussion, he remained strong and never gave up on playing football. Also in college he set up fundraisers and donated money to charities near them and ones that people knew and people had some kind of ties to it. I could go on, but I won't. You will just have to read the book. But in 2010, he was drafted to Denver Broncos. Then he set up his foundation(Tim Tebow Foundation). It's a charity that helps people out. So yeah, as I mentioned above, I never met him and really hope to one day, he is a really great and nice guy. And he does whatever he can to help people out and cares for them so much. So this is why I like him. :) And now(2012) he was traded to the New York Jets. So he will now be playing for them. But if you want to know more about Tim..read his book. Also like me, you can buy merchandise to help out his foundation. For more info, comment me. GO TIM!! I will love you always and support you always!!! GO NY JETS!!!

Sunday...

Today I was off and it was all rainy. It figures. Although, I really can't complain too much. 1. I had how many nice days to enjoy the weather. Most days were so beautiful. And 2. We need the rain. So yea..and also I much rather have rain then snow. So anyway.. I am thinking, what to do on a rainy day. Well it didn't start out rainy. I had Jasper out for alittle, read my Bible, Bible Verses, and Daily Devotional. Also some of Mockingjay. Then later a friend of mine and her daughter and I went to the movies. I was planning on going to the movies, but didn't really want to go by myself. So I asked and they said they'd go to the movies with me. :) I was so happy. So we went and saw The Hunger Games. It was really good. I liked it. Then we went out to eat at Damon's bar and Grill. Yum! I got a cheeseburger and fries. Then had gotten home and had Jasper out. Then worked on a few things. And now watching the Hallmark Movie-Firelight. It's pretty good so far. So even though it was all rainy all day, I had a good day off.

Catching Up...

So I really haven't written in awhile, but as always, not really much has been going on. Nothing too exciting. Work is going good. Some days we are busy and others we are so slow and bored. Being supervisor is still going good. Still need to go a little slower and be patient. No mistakes, but I still feel as if I could stand to slow down alittle and be more patient. But other than that, work is great. And I am liking being supervisor. Other than working..having Jasper out, reading my Bible, Daily Devotional, Bible verses online and my books. Which I am now reading Mockingjay. The 3rd and final book in The Hunger Games Triology. Also shoot hoops here and there. Take occasional walks with my dad and Belle. Watch Tv, check out a few sites and really not too much else. I love Spring! Warm temperatures, no long sleeves or jackets, birds come home, trees start to bloom, but mostly because of the flowers. I love flowers. It's just too bad, they don't last longer. So I have been taking alot of pics of flowers too. Well, I will write about today in a new blog. :)

Books

Well since I last wrote, I finsished reading "Catching Fire". It's the 2nd book in the Hunger Games triology. It was pretty good. I enjoyed it. I also finished reading "Through My Eyes:A Quarterback's Journey". It was written by Tim Tebow. That was really good. And Tim Tebow is such a great guy. I never met him, but after reading his book, I can tell that he is. He is such an inspiration, a great role model. He is a Christian and lives out what he believes in. He's not afraid to share Bible Verses, or his faith. He's not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. Throughout his book he shares Bible Verses. Also throughout the book, it mostly talks about his life and how it was growing up. How sports were a major part in his life and also his religion was too. He wasnt scared to share his faith or his emotions. Also he cares alot for people and kids. Even started a foundation to help people out. I could go on, but I will let you find out for yourself when you read the book. But yea, overall Tim Tebow is an awesome guy and book is great and a must read. :)And I hope one day I can get to meet him.

Easter and more

So..it's been awhile again since I last wrote.  But as always..really not much has happened.  We will recap as much as I remember.  

We'll start with Easter.  Easter was good.  I did miss my sister not coming in.  It was weird for her not to be here.  Oh, well.  Traditions have to change sometime, I guess.  Right?  That's where new traditions come in.  I mean things change right?  And changes makes up grow and help us out to be better people and learn new things and make new memories.  Anyway..my Easter was good.  I ate alot!  Ham, mashed potatoes, corn, stuffing, and green beans.  Also some cake.  :)  It was shaped as a rabbit.  Most of the day, I read my book on Tim Tebow.  I also went for a walk with my brother and his gf.  We got to see the tulips and they were opened.  :)  
 Also besides being able to spend time with and loving my family on this holiday called Easter, which is great, isn't what Easter is all about.  It's just part of it.  And before people start to say they think they know it, they don't.  They think it's the candy, chicks, rabbits, egg hunts, and more.  Which I guess is part too, but I am talking about the bigger and best part why we celebrate Easter.  We celebrate it all because of one man.  My best friend. Jesus Christ.  He had come to earth as a baby and lived His life.  He taught many things to alot of people who would listen to Him.  The world was full of sin and we could not get to know God or even get into heaven because of all the sins.  So Jesus, who was sinless, did the most unselfish thing imaginable.  He died for our sins and rose back again on the third day so that we may be made clean and free of our sins and be able to live with Him in Heaven.  So He is the reason for Easter and why we celebrate Easter.  Thank You Jesus for dying for me so I may live with You in Heaven when I die.  Amen.

So other than Easter, not too much has happened.  Work is still going good.  I still need to learn to go a little slower.  I mean, I haven't been messing up too much, but still I need to slow down.  I mean, we close the mall at 9 and I am scheduled till 9:30, so there's no need to rush and get things messed up.  And it's not like I have much to do when I get home.  But yeah, work is going good.  I still like being a supervisor.  It was steady around the week of Easter, but not overly busy.  

I have been taking Jasper out alot.  He likes to be out and walk around.  Some days he likes to lay on the porch and sleep or sit on my lap.  Also  I have been reading my Bible Verses, Daily Devotional and Bible.  I am now reading 1 Corinthians in my Bible.  I finished reading "The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion".  It was pretty good.  I also read "The Hunger Games".  That was good.  Although, I don't really like..well should say didn't like how they made kids have to kill other kids.  But other than that it wasn't a bad book.  I am currently reading "Catching Fire" which is the 2nd book in the Hunger Games triology.  Also "Through My Eyes: A Quarterback's Story".  Or something close to it.  It's written by Tim Tebow.  It's good.  I also did some cleaning in my room.  Checked FB out.  Shot hoops with my brother a few days.  Went for some walks. 

Also celebrated my mom's birthday yesterday.  It was nice.  We got pizza from Papa John's and got a party cake.  Yum!! Gave my mom her presents.  She really liked them.  :)  

Today, I made some chocolate chip cookies.  Yum!! They were from a pack.  All I had to do was break them apart and put them on cookie sheets, then put in the oven and bake.  They were good.  :)   

Well guess that's all.  Have a good night everyone!!!

Last Few Days

So I haven't written in awhile.  But again, not much has happened.  Nothing too exciting. But let's recap on some things that has happened.  Well, what I can remember anyway.  I mailed some Easter cards out.  On April 2nd, my cat, Jasper turned 10 years old.  It's hard to believe 10 years have passed by already.  Wow..that's all I can say.  I got him some cans of cat food and treats.  :)  He loves the Wild West Crunchies.  

Work is going good.  Being supervisor is still good.  I just need to still slow down and pay closer attention to things.  Then I wouldn't mess up some of the stupidest things that shouldn't be messed up.  But oh well.  Least I catch things and don't have to call anyone.  :) So yeah, work has been going good.

Other than working, I have been taking Jasper outside.  We walk around the yard and driveway.  Also sit out front or back.  He loves to be out.  So do I, when it is so nice and warm.  I love the beautiful and warm weather. I also have been reading my Bible Verses online, Daily Devotional and my Bible.  I am now reading Romans in my Bible.  :)  I also finished reading The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion.  It was really good.  And I am now currently reading The Hunger Games.  It's good so far.  I also shot hoops with my brother a few days.  Gone for a few walks.  Checked out facebook and uploaded a bunch of new pictures.  Well I guess that's all that has happened lately.  My life can be pretty boring at times.  I have been watching TV here and there too.  I also watched The Adjustment Bureau.  It was a good movie overall.  So I guess that is all.

Hope everyone has a good night

Sports, Religion and more.

So you might be looking at my title and be thinking...sports and religion?  But yeah.  Last night I worked 5-9.  It was pretty slow and boring.  I did good with the reports and got everything typed right.  Now I did double checked it all before submitting the report, but still I got everything typed right.   But anyway, like I said we were slow.  At first the three of us were talking about tv shows and which shows we like.  And how they shouldn't kill off certain characters and change plot lines.  Also if they make a show from a book they shouldn't really change it too much.  Well anyway, the one girl went somewhere and the the other girl and I started talking about sports.  Teams we liked in football mostly, but also baseball.  But it was more on football teams and players.  And football was mostly the NFL.  But we also were talking about our college teams we like.  Also we started to talk about Nascar and Nascar drivers.  It was so much fun and funny.  Now you are probably wondering, where religion comes in.  Well, it mostly comes in with the players and nascar drivers we were talking about.  And while one I knew was a good Christian, the other I didn't know until the girl told me.  And the two I am talking about are Tim Tebow and Trevor Bayne.  They are really good people and role models.  Also we were talking about following people on Twitter and what we would do or do if we have Twitter.  And I told the girl that I mostly use my Twitter page to post and repost Bible Verses and Bible sayings.  So in a way we were talking about religion there.  But yeah, overall we had a fun night.  And the night flew by so fast.  :)  And we were talking about how Tim Tebow has a book.  And I really want to buy it.  So I think I will next time I work.   But anyway..I didn't really thing about it last night, but it came to me right now.  All sports and ability to play sports come from God.  So really everyone should give him thanks for the ability to play and give him thanks for the good health and if you win, the wins.  Give Him all the glory and pray to Him to have a good game and not to get hurt.  

So other than working Monday and what I wrote above.  Not too much happened.  I had Jasper out and we walked and sat.  I also read my Bible, Bible Verses, and Daily Devotional.  I also read some of my book.  The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion.  It's really good.  I am really enjoying it.  Then after work I came home and had a snack.  Then I watched The Secret Life of the American Teenager.  It was pretty good.   

Today I was off and really didn't too much.  I was pretty lazy.  haha.. Anyway..I had Jasper out for awhile.  We walked around and sat.  Put up some rabbit decorations for Easter.  I know they aren't the reason for the holiday, but I don't really have many other decorations that are religious ones for Easter.  Also I read my Bible, Bible Verses and Daily Devotional.  Also I read some of my book.  The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion.  It was pretty good.  Washed and dried dishes, helped my dad carry buckets upstairs from our basement so he wouldn't have too since his back and shoulder hurts.  Also updated my poetry page.   Other than that I really didn't do too much.  


Tomorrow I am off again and hope to get some dusting done, but we will see how I feel and also see what the weather is like.  Well, now I must get off and watch some NCIS!!

Playing Catchup

It's been a few days since I wrote.  But not too much has really happened.  Since I last wrote on Wednesday, I have only worked Thursday and Sunday.  Thursday was pretty slow.  Usually Thursdays we get our shipment.  Of course, it came early and so they got it all done in the morning/afternoon.  So we had nothing to do, but dust.  Don't get me wrong, I don't mind dusting.  It's something to do, but it seems like it's all we do!  Or I should say all I do!  Also would it really hurt them to do some dusting in the morning and let some of the shipment for us to do at night?  Apparently so.  But anyway, work is going good.  Today(Sunday) I opened for the first time by myself.  It really wasn't hard or bad.  I did good.  Again though, I need to really slow down and watch what I am doing.  I mean I didn't have to call anyone, but I reversed two numbers when typing the totals in the register.  It took me a little to figure out what the problem was.  But maybe I need to slow down alittle more.  Or double check before hitting enter and submitting the report.  But I guess it can happen to anyone.  So like I said, work has been going good. 

The weather has been beautiful.  I love the warm weather.  Now Saturday it was all rainy and dreary.  Much cooler.  Today I worked 10:30-5:30, so I really don't know what the weather was like.  Before I went to work, I had Jasper out.  And it was raining and dreary.  But when I got home and took him out, it was cooler but nice.  No rain. 

So other than working, I have been reading my Bible, Bible Verses online, and Daily Devotional.  Also I have been reading my book-"The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion".  It's really good.  I am so enjoying it.  :)  Also have Jasper out alot.  We walk and sit.  Also gone for some walks with my dad and Belle.  Fun.  Updating my fb page, check out my fb page, checked my Twitter page, watched TV, work on my friend's journal, worked on my brother's scrapbook for his birthday which is today.  I gave him the scrapbook.  He really liked it.  I am so glad.  Even though it's more a kid's movie, I watched Tangled the other night.  It was so good.  Really not much else has been happening. 

So I have been also reading some of a friend's blogs.  They are so good and she is a great role model in her life.  She is such a great Christian and her blogs are helpful.  It makes me look like a bad person compared to her.  I mean I'm not bad, but not a great Christian like she is.  Even if she is younger than me, that's the type of person I want to be.  I want to live my life to the fullest and for God.  I want to be the best Christian I can be.  I want to be able to share my faith and Jesus with everyone.  I don't want to be afraid of being rejected and hated for being myself and for putting my faith out there.  As much as I don't want to lose friends, I don't want my life to have no purpose.  I don't want to hide my religion.  So if I would lose any friends over how I am and what I share, well then I guess I should realize who my true friends are.  True friends don't care how you are.  They love you for who you are.  This is something I am working on.  Being myself and sharing my religion and faith. Through different Bible Verses, poems I have written, poems other people have written and more.  God, please continue to help me be a good person and Christian.  Help me to share You and Your Son, Jesus with everyone.  Help me not to be afraid.  In Jesus' name~Amen.

Well..guess that is all for this blog.  Comments are appreciate.  ;)

My Best Friend and the Good News

So I keep saying I am going to do this blog and I always end up not getting online or if I do, I end up doing other things online.  But now I am going to do this blog and get it done, so everyone can have my best friend as their best friend.  My best friend is Jesus Christ.  And He wants to be friends with all of you.  Let me tell you alittle about my Best Friend.

First of all, God made everything. He created the heavens and the earth. All of the creatures on the earth.  Birds, fish, horses, cats, dogs, donkeys, and more.  He also made the lakes, oceans, mountains, hills, flowers. Also Adam and Eve. Me and You.  I'm sure you get the idea.

Well, Adam and Eve had broken the trust of God. Satan had tempted them into going against God.  And guess what!  They listened to Satan and sinned.  They caused God to feel bad that He created man.  So He ended up bringing a huge flood and wiping out everyone, but Noah and his family. Then started the world over again and more people populated the earth.

But the world still has sin. Everyone sinned. Me and you are not sinless.  We are full of sins and we should be punished and die for our sins. But we aren't because God loves us and He wants us to come up to Heaven and live with Him when we die.  But because we are sinners, we can't.  So then you might be thinking, how can we go live with God then?  Well.....


It's because of His love for us and wanting us to get to know Him and be part of His family, he sent His only begotten Son to earth.  Jesus.  Jesus came down to earth and was born a baby.  He grew up on Earth and taught everyone how to live.  Told them the commandments(rules) to live by.  He taught them parables, taught them about God, and just taught them how to live.  He also helped people to heal.  Deafs, mutes, lames, lepers and more.  He also helped people to be forgiven of their sins and helped people to believe in Him and His Father God.  Of course, as many people that loved Him and followed Him, there were alot who hated Him and wanted Him to be crucified.  But it was in His plan for His life to die and be crucified.  So it was alright.  So after He lived for 30 some years, it was time for Him to die.  So He died on the cross for me and you.  He died, so our sins could be forgiven and that we can go to Heaven when we die and have a great relationship with God. And so since He died, guess what.  Our sins are forgiven..our debts and slates are wiped clean.  And Jesus rose three days later too. 


He did all this for us so that we may be a part of His and His Father's family and get to know Him.  To believe in Him and love Him.  And because He loves us so much and can't imagine life with out us.  He wants to be my best friend and have me in His life.  Well, He is.  He is in my life and He lives in my heart. So He is more than a Savior.  He is my father in Heaven and Best Friend.  I thank Him for what He has done for me and sacraficed for me.  Thank You Jesus.  And since I am now in His family, He wants me to help Him to get more people in His family.  He wants to be best friends with all of you.  All you have to do is believe and ask Him into Your life.  To live in Your heart.  And He will live there and help you live a great life.  


Well, now you know all about my best friend!  And the best thing is like I said earlier, my best friend can be your best friend. 
 

Jumping out of Winter and Leaping into Spring

So things have been going good lately.  Work has been going good.  I worked Monday and Tuesday.  I actually got the store closed pretty early.  But then again..we were so slow!! It was horrible.  But then look at the gas prices and the weather.  No one wants to be out driving around.  Tuesday we didn't even make $500! That is terrible!  No one wants to be spending money, but I can't really blame them.  But yeah, other than work being slow, it's not going too bad.  And I am doing good at being supervisor.  It's really not too bad and hard right now.  One thing I do need to learn and get better at is to take my time.  I mean, I'm not messing up, but still...  

Let's see..the last 3 days(Mon-Tues-Wed.)  the weather has been beautiful.  I love it so much!!  Some days it feels more like summer, but it's still very nice.  It's so nice not to have to wear coats and long sleeves.  Also the last three days, I have had Jasper out.  We walked and sat.  Also I  read my Bible, Bible Verses online, and Daily Devotional.  Also some of my book.  It's called:  "The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion".  It's pretty good.  I also shot hoops with my brother, fun!! Also went for walks with my dad and our dog, Belle.  Checked out facebook, twitter and more.  Nothing too much.  Today I was off all day!  I loved it.  It was so nice.  I didn't do much other than take Jasper out and read.

I am so glad it's finally spring.  It's so nice and warm.  Although, it has been warm the last week to 2 wks.  But I am so glad it's spring..because now flowers are starting to bloom and bud.  And soon they all will be blooming.  :)  Can't wait.  I love flowers.  Some have already bloomed.  Yay!

Well not too much else is going on.  

Friday and the weekend

Let's see..Friday I really didn't do too much.  It was so  nice and beautiful out.  I loved it.  I was out most of the day.  I had Jasper out.  We walked around and sat.  I read outside.(My Bible, Bible Verses and Daily Devotional, and also some of my book.)  I am reading "The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion".  It is really good.  Also checked out some stuff on the internet.  Uploaded pictures,  wrote a blog, and not really much else.  Then I watched a little of Nikita and all of  Supernatural.  I love that show.  It was really good.  Did a few other things.   

Saturday-Today was really nice and beautiful out. I loved it.  I was out most of the day.  I had Jasper out.  We walked around and sat.  Read my Bible, Bible Verses, Daily Devotional and some of my book.  Also checked some things online.  Then went to work and worked 5-9.  It was pretty steady.  We made alot of money and it was the biggest deposit and amount of money I have yet had to count.  But I did it and everything turned out good.  :)  Then came home from work and watched "Chasing Leprechauns".  It was really good.  They didn't show any leprechauns, but it was still good.  I enjoyed it.  


Sunday-Today was really great.  It started out cloudy, but then the sun came out and it was very nice and beautiful.  I was out almost all day again.  I had Jasper out alot.  We walked and sat.  I also read my book, Bible, Bible Verses and Daily Devotional.  Checked a few things online.  Played Aerob Disk(kind of like frisbee) with my brother and his girlfriend.  It was alot of fun.  Watched some TV.  Wrote some poems and stories.  I really didn't too much.  


Overall, I had a pretty good weekend!!  :)  Now it must come to an end..I am really tired.  Goodnight

St Patrick

Happy St Patrick's Day. [Even if it's almost over.] Hope everyone had a great day!

Playing Catchup

So the last three days I have been off.  Wednesday, Thursday and today.  And the weather was so beautiful.  Very nice and warm.  I loved it so much!  Didn't need any coats or long sleeves.  Spring weather-60 to almost 80 degrees the last three days.  I am so thankful to God for the beautiful weather.  And so since I had three days off and the weather was so nice, I spent most of the days outside.  I read my Bible, Bible Verses online, Daily Devotional, and my new book.  I am now reading "The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion".  It's pretty good so far.  Also I had Jasper out alot.  He loves it out, especially now that it is so nice and warm.  He wants to be out all day.  He walks around the top and bottom yards and the driveway and sometimes sits or sleeps on the table or in the grass.  He is so cute.  I also went for some walks with my dad and our dog, Belle.  On the one walk, we saw a little snake.  Pictures on my my photography page.  Be sure to check them out.  The newer pictures are in the Winter 2012 #2 album.  Speaking of the photography page, I have updated that too, the last 2 days.  Other than this, I have checked my facebook and twitter pages.  I also watched some TV shows.   Other than this nothing too exciting has happened.

Although on Thursday me and my best friend ever, Bethany hung out.  We had so much fun.  We exchanged journals filled with letters we wrote to each other and more.  Then we got some pictures taken here at my house and then we went to the Marina(Shikellamy St Park) and walked around.  Took some pictures and Bethany took pictures of me there.  They turned out really good.  I liked them alot.  Then we went to eat at Subway.  Yum!! I got an Italian BMT.  Then after Subway, we went to Target.  Made some pictures and then came back to my house and hung out for alittle.  This was probably the most exciting thing that happened in the last three days.  

Last night I watched The Vampire Diaries and The Secret Circle.  Both were pretty good.   Could of been alittle better, but still..weren't too bad.  I think on The Secret Circle they are moving a little too quickly with the story line and messing it up too much.  I mean changing too much around from the book.  So it really doesn't surprised that it's on the maybe get cancelled list.  Later I will be watching the all new "Supernatural".  I can't wait!!  

So I was reading some more blogs that a friend and sister in Christ wrote.  They are pretty good.   And she really inspires me to be a better Christian and really put myself out there and share my faith and Bible Verses instead of being afraid of being rejected by people.  If people want to defriend me because of my faith and me posting Bible verses then that's fine with me.   I need to share my faith and help others out and find God and Jesus.  Tell everyone of the good news.  :)   So yeah, no more being afraid.  :) 

Well, not really sure what else to write about right now.  Not too much has been going on.  Nothing else but what I have wrote above.  

Slow Down...and more

So it's been almost a week since I wrote. But not much really has happened.  Nothing too exciting has happened.  It seems like I am off more than I work.  I work like 1-3 days and then have off 3 in a row.  Then I work one day or two days in a row and then have off 3.  I really like working at my job, but really wish I could get some more hours.  I thought once I became supervisor, I would be getting more hours, but I am getting just about the same hours as I was when I was just a associate.  So if the hours don't pick up soon, I might have to be looking for another job.  I really can't afford to pay my bills and have extra spending money on part time hours.  So yeah, although I really don't know where to go for a job.  It seems like no one is hiring.  But then who could blame people, not hiring.  Times are tough, economy is bad.  Face it, with gas being so high, who can afford anything else?  But anyway, when I do work, work has been going good.  All but one day I closed by myself.  I did good, except one day.  But it was all my fault.  I counted everything right, but for some reason wrote the wrong number down.  And so the drawer didn't come out right.  So for some reason, I couldn't figure it out right away and ended up calling the manager, which she didn't mind.  But as she was talking to me on the phone, I figured it out.  I figured it out what I did wrong.  It was just a simple mistake.  So what it really comes down to is this....I need to slow down and take my time.  There is no need to rush.  This week and next I close all by myself.  So I guess from now on I will.  From this week on, I am now a supervisor!  Woo-hoo!!  Like I said earlier, work has been going good.  And I have been doing good on my own.  :)  I am so glad.  But yea..I also need to slow down and take my time. 

Let's see..just a catchup update on what I have been doing the last few days other than working.  I had Jasper out alot.  We walk around our yard and driveway.  Fun!  Then sit once in awhile too.  I also read my Bible, Bible Verses, and Daily Devotional.  Also some of Veggie Tales Bible Stories and some of my books.  I recently just finished reading "Kitty and the Midnight Hour".  It was pretty good.  I am now currently reading "The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion".  I am not that far into it.  But it's good so far.  I also check out cat of the day, facebook, twitter, my blogs once in awhile, take walks with my dad and Belle, watched Supernatural and not too much else.  Like I said..pretty boring.  

Also the weather the past few days have been so nice and beautiful!  I absolutely love it.  Very nice and warm.  60-70 degree weather.  I love it! No jackets or long sleeves.  Just a tee and jeans.  :)  Thank You so much God for blessing me with the beautiful warm weather.  I love it.  Amen.

Well, not sure what else to write about right now, so I will end here for tonight!

 

Work and more

Work has been going good, even though it seems as if I dont work very much.  I really like working at Hallmark and love that I got the supervisor position.  But I really wish it was more hours.  I could really use more hours.  But anyway..yeah.  Work has been good.  I closed one day by myself so far.  It really wasn't that hard.  Then the other days I worked with another supervisor.  But Saturday I will close by myself.  Then I got my next two weeks schedule from March 12th-25th, and everyday that I work and close I close by myself.  I am actually kind of excited about closing by myself.  But still kind of nervous.  Why?  I don't really know, because I did fine on the Friday I closed.  So I will be fine, closing all the other days.  

So, other than working..I have been reading alot.  My Bible, Bible Verses online, Daily Devotional, Veggie Tales Bible Stories, and some of my book.  "Kitty and the Midnight Hour".  It's really good.  I also had Jasper out alot.  He loves to be out and walk around.  I went for walks almost everyday with my dad and Belle. Fun.  Also uploaded pictures to my FlickR account.  Updated my blogs.  Checked out my facebook pages and Twitter.  Also watched some Supernatural and other tv shows.  Really not much else.


Yesterday was fun.  It was really beautiful out.  I loved it.  I was out most of the day.  With Jasper and then reading.  And going for a walk.  Then later at night me and my parents went to Kmart and I got 2 new blouses and a pair of sneakers.  Then we ate at Papa John's.  Yum!  I love pizza.  After that we went to the mall.  I went to JcPenney's.  I got a pair of jeans and a blue tee.  The jeans ended up being cheaper than what they said.  Alright!  Then to Hallmark and got my schedule.  After the mall, we headed over to Walmart.  I got chips, a litter of Raspberry Ice tea and some food for Jasper.  So over all I made out good.  I got everything I got for under $70!  So I'd say I did good.  :)  Then came home and ate some of my chips.  And watched an epidsode of Supernatual. Then messed around on my phone.

Today is pretty good too.  It was warm and beautiful!  Well, least up until the afternoon.  Then it got all cloudy and started raining.  But it was still a nice day out.  I had Jasper out.  We walked around and sat.  I also sat out and read my Bible and Daily Devotional.  Also read my Bible Verses.  Checked out Facebook.  Went for a walk with my dad and Belle.  Watched some Supernatural today and oh, my.  The 2nd Supernatural was hilarious! Actually Dean aka Jensen Ackles was hilarious.  Haha..too funny!  I really didn't do too much else today.  

Also today I think I did good.  I wasn't really rude to anyone and I didn't get mad or angry.   I am so glad.  There was one moment I kind of got angry..frustrated, but not too bad.  Which is good.  Thank You God for letting me be good and not so angry and rude. Amen

At 8, I will be watching the Vampire Diaries and then 9, Supernatural.  :) YAY!!   Can't wait!

Well, I really don't know what else to write about, so I will end here. 

Willpower

WILLPOWER.  So..just what is willpower? To me..willpower is using all your strength to get something done.  Or follow through with your goals.  You keep at it and don't let anything bog you down.  You don't quit.  You keep your willpower.  Well in the dictionary that we have in our house it says: Var. of will.2. n.2.  So let's go see what will 2 says.  Well actuall there are 2 wills.  So I will just write some of what it says.  "Expressing a wish or intention."  Also "the faculty bu which a person decides and initiates action."  

So that being said..why is it sometimes hard to keep willpower?  Hard to obtain it?  What I am trying to say is..people say.."Oh, no willpower"  or "You have no willpower, You need willpower!".  Sometimes it hurts to hear people to say this, but then I have to really think about what is going on in my life and how things are going.  And you know what..I end up having to agree with them.  It's true.  I have no willpower.  I can't stick to a diet for too long.  I end up going off of it and eating more junk food.  Or I try to do exercises every day and then stop and be lazy.  Or I try to be happy and cheerful everyday.  Keep a positive attitude and be nice to everyone.  Not get mad so quick.  But sometimes the willpower just fades away.  Why?  I have no idea.  But what I do have an idea about is this. I need to work on my willpower and get better at it.  Keep at my goals.  Stick to whatever it is I am doing.  Maybe this is telling me that I can't do this on my own..I can't depend on myself.  I must trust and rely on God.  Go to Him in tough times and ask Him for help and guidance.  Talk to Him and like I said, have Him help me to stick to the goal that I am working on or whatever the task is.  So you know..I am going to just that.  I am going to trust in God and lean on Him.  Talk to Him and have Him help me to obtain and stick to my willpower.  Work on it until I am better and can keep at something and not give up while I am still capable of doing the task.

I also need to work on talking to God more and trusting Him.  So while I am working on my willpower, I will work on strengthing my relationship with God.  :)  And I am sure with time, I will be great at both of these.

 

Sexting

So I was looking at the paper that was in our bathroom and saw a headline that caught my eye. It said something along the line, 20%of teens are sexting or were caught.  This was at a school, not too far away.  It's in the area across the river from where I live.  Now while I didn't really read the whole article, I saw some of it.  It said they are prosecuting them who were sexting and well I agree.  They should be punished for it.  And what really surprised me was, I am sure..I swear the article said it was middle school kids!  Middle School!! That means like I guess anywhere from 11-maybe 14 years old!  That is just too young for that sort of thing.  Although, no one should be doing it at all.  Sexting is just gross and wrong.  

What is wrong with people these days?  Do they really have no respect for themselves that they need to do something like this?  Are they that conceited, stuck on themselves that they think they look hot and that other people want to see them like that?  Also I guess they really don't think that far ahead of what the consequences are and what will happen in the future.  I mean that will be with you the rest of your life.  People will always remember that you sexted.  And who knows, someone might keep that picture forever and can use it against a certain person.  Things like that don't just go away.  But let's back up to the present.  It doesn't matter if you just sext to a friend or boyfriend/girlfriend.  If you end up making someone mad, they might just go behind your back and the person who you made made may send it to everyone.  Then it gets out.  How embarrassing.  Or even if you don't make someone mad, they may still go behind your back and send the picture to everyone.  It doesn't matter what you look like or how good your body looks, you should still not sext.  It's gross, disrespectful of yourself and just plain wrong!  So think about the consequences next time you think about sexting. 

This is just my opinion.  You don't have to agree with me, but some of this is true.

Why Making Friends is so hard?

So I really don't understand why making friends is so hard.  Is it because they have no more room in their life for someone new?  Or is there something wrong with me?  If there is something wrong with me..then why can't they email me or something and tell me what they don't like about me.  Tell me why they don't want to be my friend. 

Ever since I was little, I always had trouble making friends.  Or rather keeping friends.  Or I guess finding true friends.  What I am really trying to say is, in elementary school, I only ever really hung out with 2 kids from school outside of school.  Here at my house.  From Middle School on to High School, I had friends, but we never did anything outside of school.  Why?  I really don't know, other than I guess we weren't true friends or they didn't want to be seen with me. Again why? I guess I wasn't popular enough.  And then from when I was little to now, I had friends, and they told me to keep in touch and then all of a sudden changed and no longer wanted anything to do with me.  I've lost so many friends. Then I asked people to be my friends through facebook and try to follow them.  And for awhile, they approve me and let me follow them, but then delete me off, block me and no longer let me follow them.  Why?   

So why is making and keeping friends so hard? I wish I knew the answer or someone else would.  I don't understand why making good godly friends is hard too.  People say they are Christians and seem like a good godly friend and so you would think they would be a good person to be friends with, but no.  They seem meaner than a non-Christian.  Why do certain Christians act that way?  Why can't we all be friends? 

Gotta run..work time.

       

Catching Up....

So the past few days have been pretty good.  Even though nothing too exciting has happened.

Work has been going good.  I've been training and learning how to close on my own.  I have been counting the drawers and doing the reports by myself.  Yeah, the supervisors have been close if I needed help, but I have done everything by myself.  It really isn't hard and I seem to learn how to do things fast.  I catch on quick.  Friday night(March 2nd) I closed myself.  It was only me and an associate.  I was the supervisor by myself.  I did good, in my opinion.  It wasn't hard at all.  I have to admit I was nervous being by myself, but overall I did good. 

Other than working, I really haven't been doing much.  I take Jasper out once or twice a day. He loves to be out and walk around our yard.  Read my Bible, Bible Verses online and Daily Devotional.  Also some of my book.  "Kitty and the Midnight Hour".  It's pretty good.  I also went for walks with my dad and our dog, Belle.  Fun.  Also checked things online.  Mostly my email and Bible Verses, Twitter and facebook.  Also watch some TV.  

On Saturday, March 3rd, I went to my best friend's daughter's 4th birthday party.  It was alot of fun.  Took alot of pictures.  Ate alot of good food.  It's kind of hard to believe she is already 4.  Time sure has been flying by.

Also on March 3rd, at night..I watched a very good movie called "Soul Surfer".  It's based on the true story about the surfer, Bethany Hamilton.  First off, I don't think I could of handled having my arm bit off by a shark as well as she did.  I mean yeah, she was sad and angry at first, but then she made an awesome comeback and learned to adapt with it.  And even though it seemed like she was about to give up what she loved, she didn't.  It took a mission trip to show how much love she had for the kids and adults she helped and then went back to the US and started surfing again and made and awesome comeback.  It took alot of training and learning new techniques, but she did it.  She just didn't give up.  Even though she didn't know what God's plan was and why He allowed the attack to happen, she really didn't ever give up on anything or God.  So yeah..even though bad things happen and we really don't understand why God allows those things to happen, we just have to keep our faith.  Keep trusting God and believing He has a reason for everything that happens.  Because He does everything for a reason.  To help us grow and learn from everything.  So overall the movie is a great inspirational movie and a helpful movie.  It tells us that yeah, bad things happen, but you can't let them get you down too long.  You got to rise above all that and keep moving forward.  So I reccommend this movie to every one.  

Today, like yesterday I was off all day.  It really wasn't such a bad day.  Just alittle too breezy for me.  I had Jasper out twice, took a walk with my dad and Belle, read my Bible, Bible Verses online and Daily Devotional.  I also read some of my book.  Also checked out Facebook.  Watched some TV, wrote some story on my poetry blog. Check them out here.  Mystical Also read some of this girl's blogs, very good.  Not really much else has happened.  Tomorrow I am off all day again.  It's nice to have days off, but also I wish I got some more hours.  I could really use extra money.  haha...couldn't we all?  

Um..I guess that is all for this post.  

Past Few Days

So things here have been going pretty good.  Since I last wrote, I have worked Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  And the three days I worked, I trained alittle bit as Supervisor.  I did the reports. Counted the drawers. Typed the totals into the register and onto the back computer.  Yeah I had the supervisor tell me what to do in the back, but I did it all by myself up front. I mean I did the things in the back myself, but the supervisor told me what to go into. I am really getting the hang of this.  It's really not that hard right now, which is good considering Friday I got to close by myself.  So I think being supervisor will be easy and I will like it.  Also what seems to help is that I usually get the hang of things and learn new things fast.  Which is good.  But in some places and times, that's how you got to be.  Some jobs don't have the time or even want to train you more than say..once.  I had an old job, where they maybe trained me like once or twice and then yep..I was completely on my own.  But anyway..work has been going good and like I said..I am training and getting really good at closing.  Even the other supervisors agree and say how good I am and how fast I am learning. They say I will be fine and to tell you the truth, I agree with them.  Plus if I would have any problems, the store manager and other supervisors are only a phone call away.  I also took the deposit over last night, so I know how to do that. :)

Well...other than working and training, not too much has been going on.  I had Jasper out a few times everyday.  He really loves to be out and walk around.  But I must put him on his leash.  He doesn't mind it. He's good with it on.  Also I have been reading my Bible.  I am now reading the book of Luke.  I also read my Bible Verses in my email.  Also read some of my book.."Kitty and the Midnight Hour".  It's pretty good. Also updated my poem blog page. Watched some TV.(mostly Supernatural). Not much else.

Today wasn't any different.  It was all rainy and dreary.  And of course I was off.  It always seems to rain when I am off.  Why is that?  haha.. I had Jasper out for a little.  We walked around for awhile.  I also sat out and read some of my book.  Kitty and the Midnight Hour.  It was good.  I also read my Bible and Bible Verses.  Checked out facebook and some more sites.  I also updated my poem blog site.  I also watched a a whole bunch of Supernatural shows.  I love that show. So good, plus the guys are so hot on there. :)  Really not much else has happened today. 

I'm done

Ok..I know I just posted a post today and I really don't know if anyone even reads my blogs.  But I wanted to post some other things on my mind, but I didn't want to put it in the other blog.  Because it didn't really fit into the other title.  Plus I didn't want to make that one really long. 

But yea, like the title says. I'm done.  Maybe I should explain what I mean by this.  First of all, I don't really understand why making friends is so hard.  I mean what is it about me that people don't like? I am very nice and friendly and I also am there for people.  And if you are my friend I try to do whatever I can for you.  Comment your pictures, blogs, status, post on your wall and more.  Also I ask people to be my friends on facebook, and they add me. I comment them all the time and all their stuff.  But then down the road they delete me off their list and block me.  No explanation.  Why? Why delete me off? Tell me what I did wrong or why you don't want to be my friend. Don't just get rid of me.   I also follow people on twitter, but then they delete me off from following them.  I don't understand how. I follow them again and again they delete me from following. And again why? And most of these people that I am talking about and try to be friends with are good people.  I mean they're Christians and follow God and Jesus.  So they seem like the best people to be friends with.  They seem like good role models and can be helpful if I have questions about faith and God and Jesus. So I mean they must be good people right? So yeah, I try to be friends with these people.  I really want to make new Christian friends and thought these people were the ones to try to be friends with.  But I guess I was wrong.  Since they delete me, block me and won't let me follow them.  So if these people really are Christians and believe in God and Jesus and follow them and try to live their lives like God and Jesus do and godly ways, then WHY act like they do and not be friends with me.  To me, that is not a Christian at all.  Like I said..all I want to do is make some Christian friends.  That's the only reason why I am trying to be friends with these people. But now as my title says...I'm DONE!!  I am so done with trying to be nice to people who don't want to be nice back to me.  I am done trying to be friends with people who don't want to be my friend anymore or at all.  I am done trying to add them to be a friend or follow them.  I am done reading their blogs or posts.  I can find help with other people who want to be my friend and help me out.  And who will actually take the time to help me, answer me. So if you want to be my friend go ahead.  I won't stop you.  I won't stop you from asking me questions, commenting me, asking to be my friend, following me on any website.  You are all welcome to be my friends.  I won't stop anyone.  I'm not going to be an ignorant bitch (sorry for langauge) like some girls who claim they are Christians, but act like they aren't by what I wrote above.  So yep..I'M DONE!!  And I am going to delete all ties to them.  Like bookmarks to their page, and unliking their pages and more. Yep..again I AM DONE with them.

Training and Close by myself? What?

I last wrote on Thursday.  :)  After I wrote on here, I watched some Supernatural and had a snack. I really love watching Supernatural.  I watched the very first epidsode when it first premiered and well, for some reason it bothered me.  So I never watched it again.  But lately, I've gotten back into it and started watching it all the time and I really like it.  It's really not so scary.  I am so glad I watch it. Plus the two main characters are so cute.  I started to watch it because of Sam Winchester played by Jared Padelecki.  But now Dean Winchester is growing on me and I am starting to like him alot.  He is so cute and funny.  Dean is played by Jensen Ackles.  But yeah, I am now a big fan of Supernatural and I like it alot.  :)  

So that was Thursday.  Let's move onto Friday. Friday was pretty good.  I didn't do a whole lot.  I read some of my Bible, Bible Verses online and Daily Devotional.  I also read some of my book.  I am reading "Kitty and the Midnight Hour" by Carrie Vaughn.  It's pretty good so far.  I'm really not that far into it.  But what I've read of it, it's good.  I also had Jasper out a few times.  Read some blogs.  Watched some Supernatural before work.  Then I went to work and worked 5-9.  It really wasn't bad, kind of slow.  I also did all the counting of the drawers and printed all the reports all by myself.  I also trained and typed our totals into the registers by myself.  Plus did the reports on the back computer.  I mean the one girl helped me in the back and told me where to go on the computer, but I did it by myself.  It really isn't hard.  So I don't think I will have a problem being a supervisor that way.  Just dealing with grumping/rude customers I might have to really work on.  But I'm sure I will be fine in that area and then the store manager and other supervisors are always a phone call away.  So there should be no problem there.  I also got my schedule for the next two weeks and looked at it.  And I was like what?! One day in each of the two weeks I close by myself.  By myself!!  I told my mom and she was like are you ready for that?  And I was like I guess.  I mean what else could I say.  No?  I mean it's really not that hard, and I don't want to tell the manager that I'm not ready for that, because it will make me feel stupid and like I can't learn quick.  When also in reality I can do it.  I mean I know how to count the drawers and how to do the reports.  So yeah, I guess I am ready and I can handle that.  :)  It also makes me feel good to know that the manager thinks I am good and able to do this already on my own.  :)  Then came home after work and watched some Supernatural.  :)  That is about all for today.
