Look what we have here. I’m actually blogging. It’s been over three months since this has happened. I am so ashamed of myself! Honestly I do have some few reputable excuses for this happening. I have been a bit on the busy (and lazy) side for the longest. My new job that I started on January 4th has taken up most of my time recently. It’s a very nice job, actually. I make $13 an hour tutoring at a local high school. I get about 3 hours in a day so that’s a good $40 a day. My paychecks are usually around $400 every 2 weeks so it’s a pretty good payout! Not to mention the job is the easiest thing I’ve ever been apart of. I like it a lot! It’s a shame that I won’t be here but for a couple more months. If anyone who comes here reads Andy’s blog, which I doubt because he is always complaining about not having any visitors, then you would know that he has a house now! I plan on moving back in with him some time between mid-April to early May. He lives in Spokane, Washington, which is a beautiful city, and not to mention a pretty cheap place to live. It’s going to cost around $1400 to hire a local moving company to take care of everything. If my grandmother becomes a millionaire (I’ll talk about this in my next blog post) then she said she would buy me a newer car once I move to Washington. I’m so excited!

Andy has slowly been getting furniture and appliances for the house. Today he received his new stove. It’s actually pretty nice. I’m so used to using a gas stove though, and his is electric. I’m sure it won’t be hard for me to adjust. It seems like an electric stove is a lot easier to clean than a gas stove anyway. He already has a bed with a box spring and bed frame, a few bookcases, a dresser, and a kitchen table. He is still lacking a couch, though. I’m interested in seeing what kind of couch he’s going to get. I hope it’s not ugly!

I went on a 7 day cruise from January 24th to the 31st with my dad and step-mom. The itinerary included Montego Bay in Jamaica, Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands, and Cozumel in Mexico. I have a butt-load of pictures I need to upload to my Flickr account still **Refer to the beginning of my post as to why I haven’t done this yet either! I’ll have them up eventually. So there is what has been happening in my life recently, and what will be happening soon. Let’s hope all goes to plan!

  Filed under Updates
Considering right now I don’t have a job, even though I’m frantically looking for one, I need to make use of the spare time that I have. I need to update my WordPress, first of all. Secondly, I need to design a new layout. Helllooo Amber, It’s not summer anymore! I did actually fix a few errors around my site this morning. My host switched companies and the new one used PHP5, so I had to alter a few of my includes so they would work properly. Thank God I managed to figure out what to do myself This is just a quick update, though. I’ve lost pretty much all of my visitors that used to frequent my site (Probably because of my lack of blogging, I’m assuming) but hopefully once I get back into updating more often, everyone will come back to visit me more often

I’m still lurking around the net as usual, just not as often as I was before. I update my Twitter pretty religiously, but when it comes to making a full blog, I’m hopeless as of right now. I think the whole conformity of only have 140 characters to write about is rotting me from the inside out when it comes to having the creativity to make a decently long blog. Nonetheless, I do want to get back in to blogging, not just for the interwebs, but also for personal logging of my life. I like looking back through my blog entries and reading about stuff, and I’m sure I can relate to a lot of people on here in that idea. I hope everyone has enjoyed looking at this summery layout throughout summer and fall, but I definitely want to put something new up by Winter. That would be weird if I just left this up the rest of the year.

I’ve been to numerous interviews the past few weeks, and actually scored a job. I was hired at Bath & body Works. Unfortunately, they did not explain to me that I could constantly be a call-in. I was scheduled for 4 days out of the week and was told not to come each one. I asked them about it and that is when they actually explained it to me. Jerks. I dropped that job as quickly as I could, even though I was very excited to start working there. I had an interview at Barnes & Noble, and have tried numerous times to get back with the hiring manager, but she is always on vacation / busy / not in. I asked someone to leave a message from me for her to call me back but apparently she just doesn’t want to, or she didn’t receive the message in the first place. Either way, I’ve been calling back every day asking for her with no avail. hopefully today this will change. also, a store called Fashion Bug is very interested in hiring me. I haven’t heard anything back yet, but supposedly the manager is out until Friday, so hopefully then I will find something out. Andy already has two jobs. He works for UPS and Target. He never gets a job before me! I’ve always been the one to get work before him, but that’s changed. I really would like to go back to Starbucks, but of course, none of them are hiring. i think the one I used to work is hiring at the moment, but I refuse to go back there for numerous reasons. I guess I’ll just back to suck it up and go back if I can’t find any work, though.
