Crazy Love....
Wednesday, September 16, 2009

I went to LifeGroup today! Their first meeting had been last week, but I had to miss it for work. *laughs* So I was new to it, so I got to make my introduction today.....
Besides the where do you work, where do you go to school questions, I got to answer the ultimate question:

If you had to live without one or the other for the rest of your life, which would you do without? Brownies or Chocolate Chip Cookes? *laughs* I said I would do without brownies.. and a funny conversation lasted for about ten minutes.

But I have to say, I really enjoyed going to LifeGroup. What we were talking about really made me think a different way I hadn't thought before. It's refreshing.
Like, the author of the book had pointed out that praying is like talking to God. So, imagine you're before God while you pray to him. It really changes how you pray. It really changes how you think about things really.. I mean, I am going to close my eyes and imagine I am standing before God himself when I pray.... It is going to change how I pray, and ultimately, change my conversations with God. It's an amazing thing to think about.

I feel a little silly as well. *laughs* Because, we were talking about how God is everlasting. Everlasting in going on and on. Going and going... and of course, that made me think about the pink Energizer Bunny...
So I thought "God is everlasting, he will go one even after the Energizer bunny..."

*laughs* But that means I had fun, and thought of things I haven't before.

So today, if you read this, I hope you comment and honestly think about two things and give me your answer. Remeber, no answer is a inncorrect.

What is Holy? (to you, what does holy mean?)
and
When you say(or when someone says) God, what is the first thing that comes into your mind?

Good day... EDIT~
Thursday, June 25, 2009

So, I am going to write about my day... because it was so nice!!

Okay, so start off the day with not as nice news. Troy's car (Ricardo's best friend) was... on fire. It burned. O.O Yeah, shocked me too..... turns out he left some clothes near his amp in his car, and.... the rest is history.

So, I was surprised when Ricardo said he was still going to take me out today. He said he needed to get out, and this was going to be fun. ^^
So, after he dropped off Troy at work, he came to pick me up. I actually did my hair. Like, curled it a bit and tried to make it look nice.
(PS: It's hard to let it stay nice looking when you have the windows down. XD At first, it made my hair look better, but it was EVERYWHERE, and eventually, it was just way too messy. *laughs*)
So, he picked me up to take me first to Maggie Moo's. (PS: For those that don't know, Maggie Moo's is an ice cream parlour. I had heard it was really good. A lot of people, including Ricardo, suggested it.) Well.... when we got there, we found out that it didn't open for another half hour. *laughs* Yeah, we were there at 11:30, and it opens at 12. Go us. We always seem to do that. So, we decided to go buy my camera.
I decided to buy my camera at Walmart, because it is cheaper than Best Buy, but Ricardo didn't want to go to the Walmart we work at (because Troy was working.... and it turns out that Troy lost $400 in that car fire! Like, literally. They had picked up the check earlier, he cashed it, left it in his car, and it burned up. Didn't seem right to be spending money in front of him >.<) so we went to the Walmart at S. Tryon. (I think that's the name of the street?) So we get there, and take a while to look at cameras. I had a hard time deciding, and ..... turns out the photo lab manager there knew Ricardo, because he used to be the manager at our Walmart. XD We showed him the one I ended up picking, but they didn't have it! *laughs* But they (the manager and Ricardo) had a good time catching up while I looked at other cameras. Then the manager remembered that they had one of the old displays on sale in the back! Wahoo! It used to be like worth over $200! But I got it for $107! And, employee discount = very nice. *laughs* 10% CAN make a difference!
And it's such a NICE CAMERA! It's a good thing that Ricardo knew the manager and was talking to him, or I wouldn't have gotten such a good deal! I mean, they had it IN THE BACK.... I guess usually... I don't know how they were expecting to sell it if they didn't show it or what not, but hey! I'm not complaining! *laughs* I am terrible. ;P
So yeah. Since I had my pretty new nice camera, Ricardo decided that for the rest of the day, he was going to show me the pretty scenic routes so I can take pictures!!

Too bad my battery died before I even got a chance to take one. I took one joke one and deleted it, and then the battery shut down on me. XD Turns out that it wasn't charged or something. But he still wanted to show me the pretty ways, so next time I'm out driving or something, I would know them and could take gorgeous pictures of this area! (So pretty! No joke! Arizona people, you'll be amazed!)

Anyways, after all that (and we accidentally set off an alarm in the photo section when we were looking at cameras, so that was going on as well while we were looking, and the poor worker couldn't figure out how to shut of the alarm, and that's why the manager came out in the first place.... such a good thing it went off huh? XD) we went back to Maggie Moo's! Turns out we spent a LOT longer time in Walmart than we ment to. Plus the whole seneic drive took a little while longer as well. But we did eat ice cream eventually! And it was SO GOOD! I had this carmeal Butterfinger thing... so good!~
We ended up eating there and talking for a long time. Ice cream was melting. But we finished and headed over to the theater.

Again, sceanic route, so it took a while....
I wish my camera was working at the time!

So we got there and found out that we got there at a good time, because the movie started in 20 minutes, so we got to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen! That movie is like 2 and a half hours long or something. Much longer than I thought it was going to be. But it was good!

So after that, Ricardo took me to eat. We end up getting Chinese food from a chinese restaraunt, and it was delicious!~ Talking and eating. ^^

And then he took me to a park for future reference so I could take pictures of it later. And... he brought a blanket and sun block!~ (He had heard about getting cancer/diseases from the sun, so he made sure I had something to protect my skin. *smiles*) We were talking, and I think we dozed off. Both of us... O.o Or at least I did, and he didn't move. Until someone called him. He jumped, woke me up, and he answered the phone.

PS: the conversation was about how Micheal Jackson died today! O.o Wow.

So, then we noticed the sun (it was getting closer to setting...) so we rushed to drop me off. After we got some gas. *laughs* He had shown me so many alternate routes filled with trees that we used a good amount of gas. Aw.
And he still took me a very tree filled way home.
Except I think this time it was a shortcut. So it was faster. *laughs*

And then I came up here to write this blog. And my dad called me! And I'm talking to him right now as I type. He's on speaker phone so I am able to type and talk at the same time. *laughs* I don't have to think about what I'm typing about.

And, ... I am going to probably try to work on Farm Town. XD

EDIT: They don't believe me that we fell asleep! They don't believe me! But that's okay. I know we/I did. I thought it was nice today. I sweat a little bit becauser of my skirt, but other than that, I don't think it was bad outside! *laughs* I thought it was nice! Ricardo thought it was hot, but I don't think it was. But I might just be weird. XD


My day today...
Monday, June 15, 2009

Okay, I have to say.... helping Monique clean her old house to prepare it for.. yeah... well...
THE (old)RENTERS ARE THE GROSSEST PEOPLE EVER! I mean.. I think, the 'wife' has discovered a reciepe that GROWS MICE. Like, seriously! I didn't know foods turned that color, or were THAT FURRY... I mean, I could just see mice magically appearing from that-that dish, or whatever it was, and just suddenly start BEING. O.O SO GROSS...
But, I do believe I had a good workout from that.
Oh, by the way, if the cat garbage smells MUCH BETTER than the "people" garbage, it says a lot about the people. Or how they lived, or something. And let's just say, that's NOT a good thing. Nope. Gross. As soon as I got home, I took a SHOWER. And became a clean Jennifer once more. XD

After all that fun and becoming clean, I tried to go on the internet and stay in my room. Didn't happen. *laughs* I just had energy, and wanted to do something productive. So I went to Ricardo's to give him some of the stuff we found. As he was examining the brake pads (or whatever it was) his uncle called him and told him that the timing belt wasn't the only problem in his car, it was the clutch too! After determining that he couldn't use some of the parts we found, and that we'd ask his uncle if he wanted them, I took Ricardo to get the clutch parts he needed. And after that, we went to his uncle's house so he could give his uncle the parts so he could work on it. they did this all outside, and I couldn't keep up with what they were saying about the car (I don't understand cars much, and their lingo was foreign to me. O.O) so I just told them I was going to sit in my car. *laughs* And, I called my mom to see if we were doing the phone thing today (I'm getting a new phone! My phone has lasted me 2 years, but it's dropping and not sending my texts sometimes, and that's no fun.) And she said yes. So after Ricardo finished talking to his uncle (Who said thanks for the parts, but didn't need them, so Ricardo decided he might keep them after all? But we're not sure?) we headed to the Sprint store. And my mom made things much more complicated then it needed to be. But she did it with the best intensions? So, after being there for AN HOUR (which, by the way, they ordered the phone, and it should be there tomorrow, so I have to go back in, and activate that phone with my number, and swtich over all my contacts) we left with no new phone, but with excitement for tomorrow.

So, Ricardo wanted to tell me thank you for helping him, so he took me out to eat. I ate fish. Guess what? Baby does NOT like fish (except Tuna? Because I've been able to eat tuna sandwiches, but no other type of fish?) so I did exactly what Monique talked to me about. When I am not feeling good, there are two places to go: Home or the hospital. I think it's just Colton not liking fish, so I went home, after I brought Ricardo back home. (We took a while talking before we actually started eating, so we had a nice conversation before I became sick.)

And it is now 8:47, and I have been home for a while now. And my day started at 8:00 this morning. I think I did a good amount today! Probably should have done more, but wahoo!... and now, nap time.
Or just sleep.. because it'd be silly to just take a nap.
But then, I might stay up to talk to Monique when she gets home from work. ^^ I really like having our talks.
But, then, Colton (the baby, because that's the name the adoptive parents chose, and I wanted to start calling my baby by the same name so he doesn't get confused...) is telling me "yes, you did A LOT today, so now it is time to sleep... Sleep I tell you!"

If you can't tell. I am tired.
Yeah. Tired. XD

my blood type is B+! I can't remember what that means according to Japanese... hahahah. Isn't that laid back? XD

(why did I think grade point average when I typed my blood type? T.T)

OHOHOHOH!! I forgot to write about the funny rocker dude!Okay, so I work in the deli at Walmart, ja? Ja. Anyways, so, this guy with a lot of energy comes by and is like "Can't you tell I'm from the south? CHICKEN! Lots of chicken!" or something like that. I can't help but laugh. XD Anyways, while he's trying to decide, he's like, "I'm in a band! Guess what instrument I play!" I was like... "Uh, lead guitarist?" His friend, who is way mellow, is like "Lead singer.""Yup! I am the cocky sterotypical lead singer!"Then heads over to look at our cold bar stuff, which is beside it. Then he looks at me. "You know, you're kind of cute. You single? What's your name? I'm going to be coming and seeing you again."Xd
So, I say "Yes. Jennifer. And sorry, my favorite instrument is bass guitar. *shrugs*"
XD
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH.
Just thought I'd share that. XD

And I'm on my way!...
Thursday, April 30, 2009

To getting everything back on track! I am so excited! It's weird what one paycheck can do ja? I mean, I was so excited seeing how much I made, and was able to pay with it... MAN! It's just exciting knowing that I'm THIS MUCH CLOSER to setting things straight again....
Thank you Monique for helping me!

And speaking of Monique...
I went to Walmart with her yesterday! I think we had fun. *laughs* She laughed at some of the faces I made, and the fact that I said "Y'all" so naturally. *laughs* It was good. ^^ We got to talk and all that jazz, and I enjoyed it!

And and and...
My sister needs to start a savings account. *laughs* Well, she has one, she just needs to put MONEY IN IT. *laughs* I think she's going to do that soon.

Umm... anything else?

OHOHOH! I chose a family!
... but I'll talk about that later. XD

Crazy about saving? XD
Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Yeah, so today, I opened two savings accounts. *laughs* Yeah, TWO of them. The first one is one with a higher interest rate (5% heck yeah! XD) But I can't deposit as much into it as I want. T.T Max is 100 a month. And it's one of those "specail ones". Like, whenever I use my debit card, it deposits a dollar into that savings account. And I have a weekly amount of five dollars depositing into it now as well.

My second account is a regular savings account. It.. umm... Sorry, forgot words for a second. *laughs* It has a minimum of $300 dollars in it (as in, as long as it has $300 in it there is no fee....) I only deposited $200 in it right now, but they're giving me 30 days to deposit more into it so it equals 300, and seeing as I get paid... what... next Wednesday/Thursday,...
I'm not worried. XD *laughs*That'll probably be the account I deposit more into because I CAN. It has an interest rate on it as well... except it's not nearly as nice as the other one, but hey, I can save my money there and I won't accidentally spend it. Good deal. *laughs*

What am I saving for?
*Maternity leave
*Moving
*College

Mostly just for those reasons, but it's also a good safety net....

Now, I hope I only stick to it. XD


It's been a while...
Saturday, April 25, 2009

And I was going to update now. But it's a beautiful day outside, my room is hot, and I just want to enjoy outside. ;P I'll try to update later and inform on the newest stuff! *laughs*
