Bleh...Blee...Blah

Do you ever feel like you're in one of those "blah" moods? Well, that's what I'm feeling right now. Just...blah. There's no other word for it. I have to work tonight from 11:00 p.m. to an unknown time (that's the beauty of working at the theaters...you never know when your shift ends) but it's probably going to be 2 or 3 a.m. Why? I have Twilight to thank for this lovely shift. Because of all those nutsos who insist on seeing the movie opening night, I get to work in the middle of the freaking night...and into the morning. Because, obviously, everyone knows that opening night is different than the rest of the several weeks it will be playing in the theater, right? WRONG. Nah...I understand the excitement of seeing something opening night when it's been anticipated for months. I stood in line for one of the Harry Potters and also one of the X-Men movies. Back then, however, I did not really realize the sacrifice the workers were making. :) But it's all good, right?

So, another funny thing. By the way, this post is not the least bit interesting, I'm just venting here. I was out of work for about 3 months. I finally found the movie theater job a few weeks ago, and was also hired to be the assistant manager for the Santa's photo booth in the mall. So...I went from ZERO amount of work for 3 months, to work EVERY day for the next month. Now, believe me, I'm thankful for the work; I really am. I'm just kind of dreading the fact that I won't have a single day off of work from now until after Christmas...not even Thanksgiving or even Christmas day itself. But...it's all good, right?

And what about this? I have college education. THREE years worth of it. Sure, I never got my associates...but only because I didn't apply for it. I have all the credits to qualify for it. I am going back as soon as I save enough money to get my self up and running again...in order to finnish and get my BA. But, don't you think that 3 years of college should get me something better than the movie theaters and santa's helper for now? I'm just a little confused by that. But again...it's all good. Hopefully I'll still have friends when I'm 62 and still working at the movie theaters...

Posting to post

Nothin' new is happening. That's the risk I take having a blog as a single chick living at home...working at the movie theathers. I don't have much of a life...YET. But I'm ok with that. I love hanging out with my family. :) Here are a couple new things in my life.

We had sibling bonding time at The Spill Canvas concert.






And, thanks to a friend and her weight loss efforts, I have now kicked my butt into gear and started working out. Leslie Sansone and I are becoming best buddies.


I LOVE these videos! I'm tellin' ya...they're amazing! They give me the best workout, but they're not intimidating and I have FUN while doing it. It's the greatest!

I know what I know.



There is no doubt about this people. Jesus Christ lives, and along with His and our Father, He appeared to the boy Joseph Smith and restored his perfect gospel to the earth in its fullness. I testified of this for 18 months in Mississippi and Louisiana, and I will continue to testify of this for the rest of my life. Satan is working harder and harder to attack the righteous, specifically targeting families. This is obvious in every worldly thing that surrounds us. But while Satan continues to fight, so does Jesus Christ. And even Satan himself knows that he's on the losing side. I've chosen my side and I hope and pray that when I stand before my Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ they will take me into their arms and say, "Well done, you've fought a good fight; welcome home."

Odd Jobs

I just absolutely love this limbo time...especially with the economy as it is...when I get to frantically search for a job, any job, that will take me and ultimately, pay me. After three months of no income, I now have two sources. Where? Don't be jealous...


That's right...free movies for me and all my homies! :)

And...where else?

Yep...y'all better be good, because I'm the helper of Santa, the one and only. :)

Thank goodness for temporary odd jobs...to tide me over until I can afford the "real" life of school, school, school again.
