Even more so when you go from a full sized 3 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom duplex. Well I woke up today at around 11:00am after going to bed at 4am, so a solid 7 hours lol. I got something to eat then started where I left off on Fullmetal Alchemist, I am currently at 26 episodes out of 51 plus the movie. I did not get quite as much time to watch it before work as I had planned because my parents had something else in mind, more moving (Yay!). We got to the house at like 15 after 1 and really didn't do much, my mom went through her closet getting some stuff left behind. I just kind of sat for a little while then started loading the car. My dad showed up shortly after and helped go through the closet, we ended up leaving at 2:45 so I could get home and get ready for work.
Work is getting more hectic because some members are starting to come back and we are getting ready to open for 3 days a week and finally switch into season mode. So we have a whole new batch of servers and a hostess that need to be trained. They all seem to be competent people so they should be just fine, but I can not wait till I start getting more hours! I wonder if I will still be eligible for unemployment and if so how much are they gonna continue to give me every two weeks? Well I will find out soon enough.
After I got home I took a shower and grabbed something to eat but not before I got a call from the "new" manager of Blue Water Bistro (we have been in talks for him to give me my job back) he called to ask if I wanted to work tomorrow. I kinda said sure but then explained that I don't know if I should because I don't want to start there and take time away from them to find a foodrunner that can give them the kind of hours that they are gonna need. At Rosie's (my current employer) I am committed to them for Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, Friday and Saturday being the busiest for BWB. Plus when I was at a friends wedding I ran into the old Sous Chef at Rosie's who is the Exec. Chef at another club and she said she may have a job for me during the day from 9 or 10am to 4pm, 5-7 days a week. So I really wouldn't have the time for BWB. The only prob is I am not sure when or if for sure I am getting that day job so I told Keifer (manager of BWB) that I will find out and let him know by the end of the week. So I hope I can get the day job and then just work Rosie's at night, I would be working a lot but also making a lot of money (so fingers crossed)!
So 2 days in a row! I think this is the first I have done that in a long time! Well hopefully I will make it to 3 but I guess you will just have to come back tomorrow to find out:D (everyone loves a little suspense) so until then...
Peace. ☮

Old, Sad, and Happy Memories...
...All saved in this blog. I can't believe I am back to this Blog once again,and I cant promise it will be an extended stay but maybe with a little encouragement from Chris, Kelly, and Kari I will continue to add to these stored memories.
Well I guess I should get started lol. A new house(a duplex), a new room(the living room), a new bed(the floor). This is how I have been living for the past few days and for the foreseeable future, it kinda sucks but I just have to deal with it and use it as motivation to strive for something more. Like college, another chance at roommates, and to finally start working towards the future I have in mind for myself.
I was quite sour about the move as I think most people would be considering I am went from privacy in my own room to no real space to myself, and believe me I love my own space and privacy. I love just being alone and not bothered by anyone but after the move that has all gone away. I know, it sucks.
What I really need to do is start studying in the S.A.T book I bought from Barnes & Noble. Tomorrow I work but hopefully Wed. I wont be lazy and just start working in it.
The main reason I have been so pissed off about the move is because of my sister. Her life has been so good compared to mine. She hasnt gotten her license, people drive her everywhere, She is always with friends and a boyfriend. I am not anti-social but like I said I like being alone but every now and then I do love hanging out with friends. Katie is a senior in high school and has yet to worry about a job or any financial problems or any real life problems, although that what keeps me a little happy is thinking about what she is gonna do after she graduates from high school and her friends all go away to college and have to get jobs and no longer have time for her and driving her around, and the fact she only has a total of like 4 months of work experience (she pretty much just stopped showing up to 2 different jobs) I cant wait till she feels the pain that "Life" slaps you in the face with. Then it should all balance out.
As for MY future, I still have aspirations of going to Edison for Drafting/CAD and coming up in a week I will start working at the restaurant 3 days compared to the 1 I have been working a week over the summer. Plus I hopefully will be getting a day restaurant job at 5-7 days a week between 9am-4pm. I will be working sooo much but it will be worth it. So my ultimate goal is to work extremely hard during season and save up lots of money to get through the summer and take classes during the summer when I am not working as much.
Sorry it has been so sporadic lol. well I guess this will suffice for now and hopefully I will be back tomorrow, until then

37 days....
Wow it honestly feels much longer(that is how many days it has been since my last blog if you didnt know)
Its funny, there is soo much I could have written about over those 37 days but for some reason I just havent had the urge to write in here. I dont know why but everytime I thought about maybe writing one I just really didnt feel like it.
Over the past 37 days I kind of just been living... the "normal" life
Working, hanging out with my soon-to-be roommates, and just chillin.
OK so right now I am not currently moved in yet to the "new house" because a water pip burst and flooded the place(pretty much everywhere but my room lol) so we are waiting for them to replace the cabinets (we are getting all granite tops, fancy lol) and I have been working but I need to find something else desperately because this job is coming to a close fairly quickly. The restaurant is getting soo much slower and my hours are decreasing. I really need to find something if I wanna support myself in some capacity.
But other than that I have been having a lot of fun hanging out with Adam, Ryan, Lauren, and Lauren. (dont worry im not gonna get into lauren thats another discussion for another day hahahahaha).
Well im sorry that this isnt much of blog but hopefully I can atleast start doing them bi-daily or something and they will be better and more informative haha
Peace Out!
there kelly and kari I wrote one, your turn!!

Where To Even Begin!?
So much has happened over the past few weeks and I have been extremely busy(mostly just work and chillin). Now im doing this more or less to update my wonderful cousins up North, because everyone down here that reads this pretty much knows whats been going on.
OK so for about 2 weeks I have been working 6 days a week at like 5 hours a day, so I have been putting in a lot of hours. But I have also been super busy with going through all the crap in my room and moving it over to my new house(with Ryan, Lauren, and Adam). I am sooo excited unfortunately we arent gonna be fully moved in until the 15/16th (that is when our Cable and Internet is getting hooked up). I have already moved over half my stuff over there the only left to really to take are the bigger stuff and my essentials. The past week I have been working and then right after work I have been hanging out with my (soon to be) roommates. We have been watching movies, hanging out, shopping for stuff we need, and just having soo much fun together.
Although last night was a not so delightful night. Everything seemed fine when we were at the house watching a movie but at around 2am I got a message from Ryan saying that him and Lauren were breaking up. All I could think was WHAT!!?? so I just started talking to the both of them and trying to calm them down and bring them back to there senses. I even asked for Chris' help when he got on facebook again. But the talks lasted for a good hour when I told them both that I was coming over(disregarding both of them telling me not too) when I got there, they had reconciled and Ryan came out for a sec. and talked to me and said that it was better. So I felt so much better knowing that no one was going anywhere. But I will keep you guys updated (the best I can) while I continue and finish the moving in process, I AM SO STOKED!!!
Peace Out!
EDIT: I just posted this but, Kelly and Kari I need you guys to comment and if you have any questions, ask them so we can communicate more and you two write a blog so I know whats going on!

It's All Happening So Fast!
So yea its been almost a solid 20 days since my last blog post and a lot has happened(well not a lot lot) but more in the past two days then the rest combined.
First I just wanna talk about work a little, it has been going great and SUPER busy. Last week I out in 40 hours(and at a restaurant is A LOT!!) and since I make $10 and hour thats already $400 in just one week plus the 25 hours ill put in this week plus like $175-$200 in extra gratuity. So my next paycheck will be like $750!!! and now im working 6 days a week for atleast the next couple of weeks which means my paychecks will average out to like $600. But unfortunately after March it will all slow down and I will be back to 3-4 days a week and then come April I will probably be let go until next season. Although hopefully I might have something for when my time is up at Rosie's, Nautica!!(at Miromar) Ryan can put in a good word for me because he is getting promoted and someone will need to fill his spot not to mention a possible couple of spots(fingers crossed).
I am gonna need some kind of solid income because I am moving out in less than a week!!!(well hopefully) But we pretty much have all the details ironed out, we basically just have to execute. I am moving in with Ryan his GF Lauren and Adam, Adams parents bought the house at an auction(after it foreclosed) and renovated it(it has all new carpet, paint, fridge, and a brand new bathroom, It is like a brand new house) So we are gonna do like a trial run to see how everything works out monetarily and socially(its an experiment of sorts) I think Adam said it would be $1100 total(his mom said that was a high figure) but that split 4 ways is $275 a month plus like cable and internet we are gonna be paying like $300 each a month(which right now I make in a week) Adams mom already said we can start moving in whenever so my plan is to get sorted and packed all this week and move in Sunday(my only day off) Im soo excited(so much so I cant sleep) So there will be much to update in the coming weeks so stay tuned but until then....
Peace Out!
Oh and some how we started talking about this Sunday night and we went to the house so they could show me it and then we started getting serious.
Sunday night- them showing me
Monday night- ironing details and we can move in whenever
It took less than 24 hours to get from idle talk to "Wow we are doing this!"
(that kinda explains the title a little better)

Content, Appeased, Comfortable, Complacent
All words that describe me right now. Im not really happy but not super sad like I was this past weekend(worst weekend of my life) and I really dont feel like reliving it. Anyway back to my title. So I am right in the middle, pretty much just working and sleeping and playing my Xbox, oh yea and lots of thinking(about everything[the usual]). So as you can imagine with not many extremes in the past few days there isnt much to report. Monday was work, Tuesday I was sick, and today I felt a lot better and went over to Jeremy's for some LOST. Hopefully this weekend will bring some more(much needed) fun but only time will tell(plus I get paid on Friday, hopefully around $300-$350) oh yea and with a third of that money I plan on buying a guitar(acoustic). I have had the desire to learn but it hasnt been to the point to actually get one(well money has been short) but now I am actually gonna go through with it, after a small lesson from Jeremy. And I think I am at a point in my life that it would be a real nice stress reliever and maybe get myself away from this digital world that I spend so much time in(sorry Chris but a digital life is not the life for me) so I am super psyched to start learning some of my favorites(maybe I will make some Vlogs of songs I have learned and to chronicle my progress :D) if you guys would watch them(Kelly or Kari?) then I would be happy to supply them. So for the time being I am very content and hopefully in a few days I will be very happy, we will just have to wait and see. Until then....
Peace Out!
Peace Out!
