Two years...

Actually, it's a little longer than two years since I started this blog! :~) I was thinking about it the other day and thought it was about two years ago. The two year mark was May 11th. Just in case you want to go back in time...

Today I'm trying, albeit not to hard as I'm writing on my blog right now, to finish my third assignment for ESL. This is one that I thought would be easier, however, it has proven to be just as difficult as the other two. Ugh! :~} Hopefully, I will get a good grade on it. I REALLY don't want to have to do it again!

Yesterday I picked up 6 more hours at Peebles! :~) Since I worked for 6 hours I got a break. Jamey came and picked me up and we went out to eat at McD's. I got a whole hour for break, so we took our time! :~) That was fun!! :~) Since I was not scheduled for work yesterday I continually thought that I didn't have to work today. I also went about yesterday thinking it was Thursday for the exact same reason. Luckily, last night I remembered that today is Thursday and I do have to work this evening... I hate forgetting about work! :~o And since I have to work tonight I'll miss softball!! :~( Oh well, at least the money I'll make working tonight can wipe away those tears! ;~)

Last night Jamey's sister Sarah brought home a lot of jewelry!! :~) We split it up and we each have like 50 pairs of earrings now... No, I don't think I'm exaggerating that much! :~o So today I'll have to coordinate my outfit on what earrings I want to wear! :~)

OK, I don't think I can avoid it anymore... I think my ESL is calling to me. Or maybe it's laughing at me, I can't tell! I'll try to make this blog a once a week thing until things stop being crazy... Well, maybe until they start to have some schedule anyway! ;~)

Wow...

This is sad... I haven't posted on here since April 23rd! :~o I really need to get into some sort of routine with this thing.

So far this week I've worked for three days. I worked Sunday, Monday and yesterday. I really like working at Peebles, it's a very clean store and busier than I ever thought it would be! I'm so cheep that even with my discount for working there I can't bring myself to purchase anything they have! :~o However, it never ceases to amaze me that some people will spend $30 or $40 for a top or purchase more than a hundred dollars worth of stuff! I needed flat shoes the other day cause I don't have any and the heels were killing me, so I went to Payless to get some. They are cute and very comfortable. They cost $20. It took me a while to convince myself to get them. I don't work again this week until Saturday. It should be even busier on a weekend! :~o

I'm also working on my English as a Second Language (ESL) training. So far, I'm almost done with the third assignment! :~) Only two more to go! This one is a little easier. It deals with planning a lesson instead of a lot of grammar which was getting me down with the earlier assignments. Hopefully the last two will be somewhat easier like this one! :~)

Last Thursday Jamey and I went and played softball with the church we used to go to when we lived in Memphis. We get to do it every Thursday evening. It's really fun! We play in this Baptist park with about four ball fields in it. We play different churches every week and at different times, but it's all in the same place. Jamey got to be in the outfield and caught a fly ball! :~) He also scored a base hit. It was my first real game of ball so I wasn't sure I could do a whole lot, but I managed to watch the ball and get on base with four balls. Then I ran like I was on fire to score a run! :~) Yay me! ;~) Tomorrow is our next game. We won that first game so hopefully we will be able to at least not get crushed! :~)
