Busy busy busy!

Sorry I haven't kept everyone posted, but I started a new job last Thursday at another title company, Integrated Title! It's nice, it is right in the heart of SugarHouse, so I am in my old "stompin' grounds"! I get to go to my mom's house for lunch and that has been saving me some $$$! (thanks mom!) Anywho... if anyone needs to send me business, feel free! Also, along with that, since I didn't have a job, I picked up a ton of shifts at the bar, I was just waitressing, but now I am bartending! I don't know what I am doing... but no one has complained yet! Haha! I don't want to sound like I am complaining, but I am exhausted! Since I have been working both jobs during the week and on weekends, I haven't even had time to do anything but work! I don't get to sleep, I don't get to clean my house, I don't get to play with my dogs, I haven't even gotten to hang out with Austin! Last night it was so busy, I didn't get to bed until after 3 and had to get up at 6:30 to get to work! I am surprised they think I do a good job, I feel like I have been so out of it! Thanks to a LOT of Rockstar and water, I have been surviving!

I don't have internet at home right now, so I can't post pictures... but Austin and I, along with his Mom and a close friend of ours got to participate it the MS Walk a couple weekends ago! I cannot tell you how crazy it was! There were SO many people! It was a huge success! Our team alone (there were 4 of us) raised over $400!!! So a big THANKS goes out to all who donated! We really appreciate your love and support! We hope you all can come and join the craziness with us next year!

Questionaire

I wasn't tagged, but I thought this was a cute one...



What were you doing 10 years ago?

At 14, I was in 8th grade at this time, probably in Math class.  I had a boyfriend, Aaron Campbell.  My best friends were Linzi, Lacie and Sara.  We lived in a duplex on Kenwood Street, across the street from the Bell's.  


List 5 things on your "to do" list:

Tanning
Gym
Vacuum
Dust
Clean up doggy poop


Name your favorite snack:

Hhhhummm...
Fav?  I would have to say something I can never turn down would be Cheesecake!


What would you do with a BILLION DOLLARS?

That is easy!  I would by my mom a house and a car, probably my brothers too (and their wives), I would by me a couple houses around the world so we could travel, and since after spending all that money, I would still have some left over, Austin and I would do whatever we wanted!


List 3 bad habits:

I bite my nails
I am very OCD about certain things
I tend to hold grudges


List 6 places you have lived:

SugarHouse
South Salt Lake
Murray
Midvale
Ventura, CA (with Dad)
Boise, ID (with Dad)


List the jobs you have had, in order:

J. Loyola Hair Salon
Subway
Olive Garden
Old Navy
Inwest Title
Security Title
Surety Title
Barbary Coast


List 5 things people DON'T know about you:

I don't know what people do and don't know about me...
1-I hate it when my eyebrows get brushed backwards
2-I know I say it, but i dislike it when people say "I can't" without trying.
3-I am afraid to grow up, afraid of the responsibility of marriage, kids...
4-I am a shopoholic!  I get ideas on what I need to do to make this or that "better" and will have to buy something to make it how I want it, that is why I NEED that Billion!
5-I am an addict.  I LOVE reality TV, bachlor, deal or no deal, biggest loser... all I watch.


Ok... so this requires a "tag", mine will be... Annalisa, Laura and Dana!  Have fun ladies!

... Still Seaching

So today is the first day of the rest of my life!  I am having a pretty positive outlook on this job hunting, but honestly, I can't remember the last time I have filled out a job application!  I have had "hook ups" at all the jobs that I have had since Inwest, which was 2002!!!  I am going out of my comfort zone and looking for a job out of the real estate market which will be super good considering the market right now!  Hopefully there is something out there that I will love doing!  I am still feeling bad about not hearing from anyone I work with, but I guess it's better, I would probably start crying if I heard from them!  Loosing your job is emotional, I never realized how attached to the people and schedule I became.  Anyway... still, if anyone hears of any good jobs, let me know!

Job Hunting...

Well, it's official.  I was laid off today at 4:45, right as I was getting ready to leave for the day!  I know the real estate business isn't at it's best, but they could have worked with me...  I knew something was up early this morning, I even asked the guy I process for if I was the one getting laid off, he assured me that I wasn't, which was why I was so mad when I was told!  How can someone sit there and tell you no, when he clearly knew?  Those people I thought were friends didn't even say goodbye!  You work with these people day in and day out, you start to consider them pretty much family because you are all together so much and they can't even give you as much as a goodbye!  I was furious!  As soon as they told me I didn't need to hear anymore, I walked to my desk, started boxing ALL my junk and left.  I couldn't believe the people I trusted and thought were such a good friend could hurt me so bad!  Anyway... I am still a little bitter, obviously, but honestly it was a blessing!  I am just job hunting and thought I should give everyone a heads up!  If anyone knows of any good jobs, let me know!

Happy Birthday Tom

In honor of my big brother... who turns 28 today!  Wow, how time passes!  I am just going to share a memory of him... I remember walking home from school and this boy that liked me followed me home and threw snowballs at me the whole way!  We lived in the apartment building on Stratford Avenue, he must have spotted me out the window getting patronized by this boy.  Him and his friend Alan ran out and started pounding the boy with snowballs and chased him down the street!  I can honestly say that kid never bothered me again!  I don't think he ever even walked home the same way I did... but that was when I realized Tom actually cared about me!  Kind of a dumb memory, but it is the one that stands out most when I thinking about our childhood.  I bet it sucked having a younger sister, I put my brothers through torture I am sure... making them play Barbies and house!  That is what they get for having a sister!  Anyway... wishing you the best on your birthday Tom!  I love you!

MS Walk... Anyone?

In honor of those with MS... come help Team Rasmussen in the Fight Against MS!

The number of people living with multiple sclerosis increases every hour of every day. This astonishing rate is not going to slow down, let alone stop, until we've found a cure. Research has made some incredible advances recently, but the world can still only offer disease management drugs and therapies to the 400,000 people living with MS in America.We've formed a team for the MS Walk because the National Multiple Sclerosis Society funds more MS research than any other private organization. In addition to supporting studies which hope to reveal the cause and course of the disease, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society also provides much needed education, programs, and services to everyone who is affected by MS - including the diagnosed, their friends and families, and the healthcare professionals who work with them. Join our team as a walker or a volunteer! Make a donation online! Send in a check! There are so many ways to make a difference in the fight against MS, and it all begins right here.

Bye Bye Austin...


So Austin has been going out of town a lot for work these past few months. It's been super hard getting used to it all! When he starts packing our dogs get sick, it is so sad! Both of them just throw up the whole time he is gone, it sucks! He only left yesterday, but you don't realize how much you love them until they are gone... and he is only gone until Friday!!! Uhg. Life in the S-L-C isn't very fun without you Austin! ...back to the bachlorette life!

(Austin and I in Arizona, Christmas 2005)
