I'm back again...

Haha, ok, so I'm not keeping up with this thing very well...it's not like I have a lot to write about anyway!!!
I'm still working at the good ole bank. I didn't get the job with the photography studio. BUT, thats ok! It was a life changing experience. When I went to my second interview with the woman, it was to show me the little studio and the basics of operating the thing. Then, she proceeds to SHOW ME how to make the kids laugh!!!! WHAT?! They have set ways of making the children laugh. You can't just get your kid in their pose, and then make funny faces or anything. You have to use their method. I was appalled! I thought it would be a fun little job, but no, after that interview, I was praying she didn't call me back to offer me the job, because I wouldn't have taken it. I don't want to be told how to make the kids laugh. I want to be able to do it my own way. SO, this made me realize, I am more than ready to be in charge of myself and start my own photography business. Thus, I am in the process of creating, what I hope will be "Mirrored Reflections Photography" specializing in children. I have a new professional digital camera, laptop, and other materials already. I have done a photo shoot with all the nieces and nephews to get some proofs and see what I am capable of doing. It went well! I already have a friend who wants me to shoot her wedding and a couple other little shoots people have hit me up for! So, it's not even up and running as of yet, but I already have jobs! I take this as a good sign. (Hopefully)
School starts back up next week. oh yay! Actually, I am excited. I think it will be a very interesting semester.
Ryan moved to Denton yesterday. We went up and ate dinner with everyone. It's strange having him up here and going to UNT. But it's cool!
I guess that's it for now. Brandon is still working working...He goes on a business trip the 2nd week in September (I will be lonely....haha not. I will enjoy the peace! ;o)...) and then when he gets back, he is going to try to get a second job in the evenings.
So, until next time......

I'm back!

Hi everyone! I don't even know who reads this anymore, but here's a new post anyway. (If you read it, leave me a comment so I know I'm not wasting my time!!!)
So, I've been kind of looking for a new job...I have a 2nd interview with a children's photography studio in Lewisville tomorrow morning! I'm excited. I hope I get it!!!! I hate my current stupid manager, (bi*ch) but I love everyone else I work with. Which that will suck if I leave. I'll miss them very much. But hopefully, I will get treated more fairly at this new job. (IF I get it)
I still love my car, still love my apartment! Um...I'm looking into starting my own photography business...Still only a possibility...but I'm getting much peer pressure to go forward with it from many people...I guess that's a sign. We shall see. ;o)
Hell, I don't know what else to put! Not much else to say...so peace.

Lots to say

Wow! No one is keeping up with their blog, so I'm safe! haha
Well, since April 10th, lots has happened...Starting with the best... Last weekend, I GOT A NEW CAR! YES! It's awesome! It is a pretty, dark orange (NO, that does not mean I am a Longhorns fan...I don't care about college football, but if I did, I would go for A&M anyway!!!) It has that great new car smell, it's a 2007, and best of all.......it's a DODGE! Yeah! I have a Dodge Caliber. I LOVE it. It's a cool car with lots of prospects for souping up. I intend on making it faster. Brandon and I have an ongoing collection of change deemed the Caliber fix-up fund. It's awesome, because not many are out yet, and no one knows what it is. So people keep asking me, and they think my car is tight. hehehe
What else...well, momma, Christina, her two kids and I went to IKEA today. That place is great! They have everything. They were nice and bought me a picture for our bedroom and some other trinkets for decorative purposes. When B and I get our house built, everything will come from IKEA! And the best part is, it's not as expensive as you would think.
Brandon finally sold his Mustang! Yay! So his Eclipse is currently in the works of getting fixed. Then we will be set on cars. Hopefully. I don't know really, what with his luck with cars. hah.
Um, I'm thinking...oh, speaking of cars, my Dad also got a new car. He traded in his truck (too much money for gas...) and got a Mazda 3. He looks so cool in it. I think he knows he does too...haha.
Well, I suppose that's it. That I can think of right now anyway. So, until next time. ;o)

Ok, sorry

I've been lazy...and now i'm getting in trouble for not writing! So here goes.
No, Scott, the chicken doesn't have many calories. I don't know how many it has, but if you cut the butter, it's a very healthy dinner.
Becky, I don't know when we will be able to have you guys over! We are poor at the moment. So, we will see.
All last week was normal. I registered for my classes this summer and fall. I'm so excited! I'm taking Prepracticum this summer which has to do with children. Then in the fall, I am taking 12 hrs, --abnormal child psyc, infant/toddler development, observation/assessment of children, and nutrition. I wanted to take 15 hrs, but it's not possible with work. I'll graduate one day. I swear. It may take me 10 years, but I'll get there. hah.
This past weekend was not too eventful. Worked Saturday, then just chilled at home. Then on Sunday, my little brother Nathan was confirmed at church and we ate lunch while they sat up front. Then we went and visited my family for a while, and headed out to Momma's house to see the other family and ate Chinese food. yum...
So, now here we are at another Monday...waiting for the next Saturday...
I found out yesterday that Rascal Flatts is coming to Frisco on June 16, so I already requested off from work today! I am NOT missing that concert!!!!! I don't care if I have to go by myself, I refuse to wait a few more years. But I think Stacy and Brandon are going to go. In the mean time, we might see if we can work up some more people so we can have a group.
Well, I suppose thats it!

Chicken Recipe & more!

Ok, well, due to the request, here is the chicken recipe. It's easy and delicious!

4 chicken breasts
1/2 of a green bell pepper
1/2 of a red bell pepper (you can mix the peppers as you wish, use all one, or mix both)
a can of tomato sauce
shredded cheese
a few slices of onion
butter (optional)
seasoned salt
pepper

Place the chicken in a small casserole dish. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Slice the peppers into slices and lay them and the rings of onion over the chicken. Place a piece of butter on each chicken breast if desired. Cook in 375 oven for approx. 30 minutes. (Until chicken is about 5 minutes from being done) When it is nearly done, spoon tomato sauce over each piece of chicken and sprinkle cheese on each. Cook the last 5 minutes, and wha-la! You have chicken de la chicken. Or whatever.

If anyone tries it, let me know how it goes!!! ;o)
So, I finished my week out at work. Just the same ol crap with all of that. My stupid manager is driving all of us up the wall AND across the ceiling.
Momma, you will NEVER beat me at Scrabble!!!! muh-hahahaha! As for your son, well I've whooped him two nights in a row now, so.....you can take him.
The family pictures turned out quite well. The one of B and I sitting is really good. So, I am quite relieved that I don't look like a monster in them. At least, not one that will haunt anyone's nightmares...(oh, yeah, i'm definitely asking for some smart-alec comments on that one)
Tomorrow, it's off to church, then to the crop walk. I have been jogging every night this past week starting Tuesday because I'm trying to lose some fat and get in shape. (I'm so proud of myself for not skipping!!!) Thing is, I am actually really enjoying it. It's nice to get out and get some air every night. Sometimes I take Mr. Mack with me because he needs to lose some weight too...lazy puppy.
Brandon's toe is good now. It's just yucky looking. The toenail is icky, trying to come off. But it's no longer painful. Thank goodness. He can walk like a normal man again. ;oD
Well, I suppose that's it for now. I made quite a story here. Hope you had a good time reading. ;o)

How my job is still alive.....

I HAVE NO CLUE!
Our manager sucks. I wish I were manager. Then I could make this bank rock! I would be fair to everyone, and not be prejudice. And I wouldn't be selfish, or make dumb decisions. But, I am only a lousy teller. Oh well.
So...this past weekend was quite slow. I went out to the Barbour house Saturday, then went and saw my parents where I ate hamburgers. My friend Amber called me while I was there, so I decided to go visit her. So I went over there and hung out with her for a while. Her little girl Kara is so cute! She was just laughing and smiling the whole time.
Sunday, I went to church, then a group of us went to the arboretum. Pretty, but you can only look so much before you get bored. haha. The fun part was taking pictures. I can't wait to get them developed! Hopefully they will be good!
Speaking of pictures, when I was at my parents on Saturday, I was convinced that maybe I should start a photography business. So, I am thinking about it. I don't know any details, and have no clue if I would start it soon or after school, but I just might do it. I'll keep you posted.
Well, now I am at work. Momma (my mother-in-law) is coming over to eat dinner with us tonight. So I have to run to WalMart after I get off at 5, get home, vacuum, and start cooking! I am going to make my now famous chicken! mmm. I'm hungry. (surprise) ;o)
Oh, and to all of you who commented about Brandon's abuse,.....*sniff*, thank you. Rehab won't accept him because they say he needs more than rehab to fix his problems. Something like, Terrell State?.................hahahaha

Brandon is kicking me

Well, here I am updating my blog, while my loving husband kicks me in the shoulder. Isn't he nice. I always did like abusive relationships.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday all went as usual...just work. Then come home and chill. After work today, I went to WalMart and got some stuff then came home. Brandon and I ate grilled cheese for dinner (high class living), then played Scrabble.
Tomorrow, after work, I'm going with Momma and Christina to go look at our pictures we took last weekend. I hope they're good. Mine probably suck. I wasn't in a picture mood that day. But oh well, I hope I look decent. Oh, and I hope that one B and I took with Ace came out really good!!!
Well, I am signing off for the night. Brandon is shoving me off of my own computer to check his own email. How rude.
Goodnight~

Give me a B!....ored.

Hey, well, here I am at work and it's slow today. So I figure an update is in order.
Sunday, B and I went to church and then went to Snow Pea with Bob, Becky, Judy and the kids. Yummy food! Then as we went to walk out the doors, there was a torrential downpour. The parking lot was flooded. So we all took turns running out under the umbrella. After B and I left there, we tried to make our way over to Town East. But every direction we went, we had to turn around because the roads were all flooded!!!! I had never seen it like this in my life! We passed the spillway and it was so cool! Water was just gushing down it. We eventually made it to the mall where we met Momma and we all went in to talk to TMobile. Brandon and I got on to a plan together and spent way too much on new phones. But they're cool, so they better be worth it! After that, we got Brandon a new shirt with our Dillards gift card. We left there and made our way over to my grandparents where we visited my family. Ate some dinner, then came home!
Yesterday, I worked til 7, then got some pizza on the way home to eat for dinner. We watched The Girl Next Door, very interesting movie. Took some twisted minds to write that script. But it wasn't bad.
Now, here I am at work once again. Oh joy. Nah, it's not bad, I complain, but I'd much rather be here than in that stinking deli again!

Catch up...

Ok, so since last time, a few things have happened, nothing real significant. ha.
Thursday night, Stacy came up and we went out to eat and had a few drinks. Then, on Friday, I worked and she came up again that night. We hung out, she played Sonic the Hedgehog on Xbox, and we had a few more drinks. (Or well, she did, because I'm just not a big drinker...)
Today, I after I got off work, Brandon and I went to our church where we met up with all his family and we took a big family picture. It was cool to see them all, we haven't seen them in a while!!! Afterwards, we went out to his cousin Brad's house and saw it (he just moved) and hung out with him. Now, we're chillin at home watching Harry Potter, and eating pizza.
So, that's my update. Not very entertaining. But oh well. Kiss it. ;o)

Workin hard...

Well, here I sit at work...bored. So I figured I'd update.
Brandon went to the doctor yesterday and found out he did completely break his little toe and fractured the one next to it. He also had a nasty infection under his little toenail that he ripped up. Pretty nasty. But oh well, hopefully it will get better quickly!
I'm so happy to have my puppy back! I missed him this past weekend! As pathetic as it sounds... ;o)
I don't feel very good today...I wasn't too well yesterday, and now this morning, my throat is killing me. It sucks! I hope I'm not getting sick...can't afford all that.
Today, I get off at 5! I like not working late.
Well, I think that's it for now!....

Ok, trying once again...

Alright, so, I've been on this website once before, and did ok, but I think my last post was dated May of last year. So, I've decided to try it again.
Brandon and I just got back from San Antonio today! We had a good time. Saw Trapt, Chevelle, and NICKELBACK (they were so awesome!). Brandon, unfortunately, fell in a river at Dinosaur Valley State Park and tore his pinky toenail just about off and broke the same toe. So, he is in quite a bit of pain at the moment. But we still had fun.
Other than that, we both go back to work tomorrow. SB is this week, so no classes! yay. That's always nice. Especially considering I'm having such a terrible time with school anyway. I'm so sick of it. I'll be glad when I can get started next semester on my new major! hooray!
Well, we shall see in the future if I will keep up with this. I don't know if my daily life is interesting enough to make a decently long post. ha. So while it may not be everyday, hopefully it will be often. ;o)
