Finally things are falling into place

After being laid off for 6 months I now have a job too!!! Go us! I have been working for Rosenblum Cellars for the last month and I love it. It keeps me super busy and it pays really well.

Also, I am happy to report that the Boyfriend and I are doing great! Due to the job that I have we are now able to get all the things that we have wanted for our house and for our future and it feels amazing. First a washer & dryer, tv, kitchen table, couch, pots & pans, and a new bed!!! Also on the list is a trip out of the country....Fiji maybe? (liz you wanna go too?)

I dont think I have been this happy in a really long time. I am truly thankful and still taking it all in...I feel like a grown-up.

New Job!

Woo Hoo Liz finally got a job. I'll be starting to serve again at a brand new Bob's Big Boy in Orange, CA!!!

I'm pretty excited. Meeting new people, getting back into the groove, servin up the original double decker burger!

We open Aug 9th. So come on down and ask for me!

The prospects of me are still in the air about nursing school. I'm looking forward to starting, but awaiting the finishing touches of monetary security. (aka my sallie mae loan.)

My birthday is right around the corner, and I'm taking Paul to Disneyland....it's going to be great! the only ride closed that day is Pinocchio's Adventure. This time... i'm SOOOOO having another Dole Pineapple Whip and i have no idea what else. lol

However even though this sounds like a lot of fun. I know it'll be crammed together and busy and perhaps even a little overwhelming. I'm praying that nothing bad goes wrong with my car in the mean time, so that I may get to the places I need to go. I'm also looking for clear thinking. I know I''ll need it!

Feeling Good

Lately I've been feeling good about not having a job, it's let me do some things I don't think I would've been able to do if I did have a job.  Been able to help friends, build more relationships with those friends, and just grow into a little more of a happier person.

It does, at times, get lonely here in the house by myself. Every now and then talk

ing to the dog like she can respond to my words!  I've been baking and trying new things. More muffins, Meatloaf, and my first fruit pie ever!  My peach and Apricot pie was awesome! 

 I brought it to our Bad Movie Nite gathering and I only ended up bringing home one slice. Crust was good, fruit was good, and the cinnamon/brown sugar filling was good. 

I even made the pie a lattice top...which is a little difficult, but once it's cooked, no one really cares if the lattice strips are actually interchanging correctly! (i'm not a martha stewart)

Aside from all the "fun" I'm having I am still looking for and applying for jobs almost everyday!

there's not many out there, at least in my area, for my qualifications...I mean sure there's like 40 housekeeping jobs, and 30 bus boy type jobs, and even 25 night shift jobs....but I'm very willing to find a job that's right for me! Good hours, quality company, and decent pay...well at least more than Unemployment!
