so today i had a subbing job. which i have known about for a month. but it never showed up in the computer system, so i was like, am i actually supposed to go? or did they make a mistake. so i called yesterday to check, and the lady was like i don't see you in the computer. so i'm like, ok, so what do i do? still show up in the morning in case, or not at all? she's like call tomorrow at 7. ok. great. so i'm assuming that i don't have to work since i'm not in the computer. so i stayed up later than i should have. so get up and call this morning, and i'm needed. still not in the computer but i'm supposed to be there. so i'm like, crap. haven't showered or anything and don't have time to. so hurriedly get ready and get to the school. and the day went fine and all (actually quite well) i was just so tired and not prepared to be there. plus i'm babysitting 9 hours for each of the next 3 days and monday. so it's goign to continue to be a long week. but oh well. i'm finally making some money! hooray! now if i can actuaally start paying off some of my debt....
but anyways, most likely will try to post again soon while babysitting, since the boy takes 2 - 2 hour naps a day.

hooray!
so it's been a pretty good weekend so far! we cleaned up all our christmas stuff yesterday and then did some other house cleaning. ok not the most fun. but the rest of the weekend has been much better! nick and jesse came over yesterday and we watched football and ate tacos. this morning adam and i made french toast and bacon (my favorite breakfast!) then made some homemade crackers and spinach artichoke dip, which we brought over to nick and jesse's to watch some more football. unfortunately all the teams we watned to win this weekend lost. tonight, adam and i watched shrek, and figured out all the extra excursions we're going to do on our cruise. i'm super excited! in st. thomas, we're going to do a scenic drive and mountain top tour, and then in the afternoon sail to turtle cove for some snorkeling. in st. maarten, we're going on a catamaran out to some beach where we can swim, snorkel, whatever. then in the afternoon we're going to do a tour of the island. the last port we stop in, is an island in the bahamas owned by the cruiseline, and is kind of a beach day. so we're reserving a transparent hull 2 person kayak. they also have some shops and markets that we'll probably go check out. fun fun!
oh, so i lied... the weekend hasn't been all totally good. jenean called me yesterday and one of our friends dad's died from injuries in a car accident. super sad. i had only met him a few times at cross country events mostly, but he was always so nice and supportive.
so last wednesday i started a cake decorating class. holy cow. it should be fun, but it would have been nice if they had mentioned beforehand how much extra stuff you have to buy. yikes. not a cheap class. and of course, me being me, i have to go all out and get the bigger kit that has more than i really need for this class. but my logic is, that if i take the other 2 or 3 levels of the class, i should already have the stuff i need and not have to get any more tools or anything. plus it was maybe $30 more than what i would have spent anyways, and i've gotten tired of worrying so much about money. so i just went with it. no changing my mind now. the box has been thrown away and i've been experimenting with stuff already. but i'm excited for the rest of the class. there are 3 more nights. and we have to bake a cake to bring in each week. holy cow we're going to be eating alot of cake. i think i'll send most of it with adam to work. it should disappear quickly there.
let's see. since i haven't written in a long time... christmas was good. i got to spend about 2 weeks in minnesota. i got to see all of my family and lots of friends. that was fun. got some good presents. lots of scrapbooking stuff(hooray for my sizzix!) and a sewing machine were probably the highlights. i was pretty bummed that it was so warm up there, cuz i had gotten adam ice skates for christmas, and we didn't get a chance to use them. bummer. we went to ikea one day and spent our last wedding gift card. we got a great desk for me to use for scrapbooking (and sewing). i love it - it has tons of storage on the shelves avbove it and so much work surface. it's great! i finally am able to have everything all in one location. my birthday was fairly uneventful. went out to eat with my family and my aunt, uncle and cousin. that was cool.
so yeah, like i said the other day in a post - jenean is coming to visit me! i'm so excited! she's coming the second to last weekend of february (and we leave the last weekend for our cruise) so that will be an exciting time. unfortunately the way the flights worked, jenean won't get here till saturday around 6pm, and has to leave mon around 6 pm, but hey, a visitor is a visitor and i will take what i can get and i will enjoy every minute! i can't wait! unfortuanetly despite living here for almost 7 months, i still don't know of anything really interesting or fun to do around the area. but i'll have to come up with some options before she comes.
so yeah. i really think that about sums things up for the moment.
