30 Things I want my kids to know about me Part 3

Here is the third installment of my 30 things list.
Number 5:
What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?
1. Justin. He makes me smile everyday and is the light of my life.
2. My pets. I love my dogs Coco, Cami, and Furby. Even though Quinn isn't living with me currently, it makes me really happy to see him.
3. My crafts. Being creative and making something always makes me happy.
4. Being Pregnant. It may not be the actual pregnancy itself, because I am sick as hell, but I am finally going to have my own baby and be a mom. I feel like a real woman.
5. Sleeping, honestly. Being pregnant has given me such super real and weird dreams that sleeping is actually more enjoyable then usual.

Number 6:
If you could have three wishes, what would you wish for?
1. Wealth. Pay off my debt, buy a nice house, buy a nice car(my dream mommy van), and have money to send my kid to college and go to Disney World.
2. Perfect health for me and my family.
3. World Peace? I really don't know because the first two make my life perfect.

Number 7:
What is your dream job, and why?
This is an easy answer. I want to own and run my own thrift store. I worked for a year at a GoodWill store and LOVED what I did. But being there made me realize there are so many things they could do to help out the environment or the community. They could have donated broken ceramic dishes to the local high school to make mosaics with or we had a teacher come in asking for wire hangers, paying out of his pocket, so his students could do a project. Our store didn't sell them, they threw them out, BUT we weren't allowed to give anything away, not even trash. I want to run the kind of store that builds community value, helping where it can. A place that recycles more, and throws away less, and makes the world a better place. That's my dream job.

Number 8:
What are 5 passions you have?
1. Art. That is my biggest one. I love to paint, draw, scrapbook, and just plain create.
2. Being Eco Friendly/Frugal. I like to save money and do good for the environment. I know I could do more, but I try to save on my trash output, reuse when ever I can, and recycle.
3.Reading and Writing. I love a good book, and I love to write when ever I can.
Since I condensed my passions I only have three.

Number 9:
List 10 people who have influenced you and describe how.
1. My Mom. She was a super strict parent, and although she made a lot of my life hell she taught me important things like proper cleaning, and the importance of being organized.
2. Helen Keller. Never met her obviously, but I learned about her in elementary school and her will to learn and survive was and is very inspiring to me.
3. Maya Gaskins-Hickman. This girl taught me that being weird is ok, and she taught me how to shop, and trust me, that is more important then you would think.
4. Justin Moran. He taught me what true happiness is, and that everything is worth working through.
5. My first high school love. I would rather not name. He taught me that there was love out there, before him I had never been happy with a guy and didn't know I could be.
6. Mr. Stone. He was my 6th grade teacher and he was the first teacher to really open my eyes to my love of education and learning. He made learning cool.
7. Mr. Hurt. He was my middle school art teacher. He changed my perspective on art and let me run loose with the art supplies. I thank him for opening those doors.
8. My Grandma 'Mamaw'. She showed me not all love is the same. She taught me how to knit and do plastic canvas work, and never discouraged my creative side.
9. My Dogs. Oddly yes. You come home every day to them and they are happy to see you and love you. I try to remember that, because no matter what everyone deserves to be loved, your dog thinks so.
10.Jeremy Malone. Yes that dork. He has taught me it is okay to be goofy, to love weird things, and to have a passion for games. His influence has taught me to enjoy life more.

Waiting Room

**Please note this is  a old post I wrote from my phone and have now decided to publish, enjoy!

Sitting in a hospital waiting room gives you a lot of think about things. I don't even mean regular things either. Sitting for an hour and half I came accross many topics such as college, where my life would be if I had made different choices, children, christmas and all the in between. I guess to say I am pretty happy in life. This isn't where I planned to be. When I was in middle school I started dreaming of life as a lawyer, and going to a state college. Nothing thrilled me more then the idea of carrying a large stack of books accross campus and attending classes. Then as I came into high school I wanted to become a psychiatrist. I wanted to help people solve their problems. Through out high school art classes opened my eyes to my passion for art and I guess you would call it recycling? I found my talent to reuse objects and make new things from old. I also found my love of sales. I knew then I wanted to go to college for sales and marketing. My life long goal started taking shape at this point. First it was a thought in the back of my mind, then slowly it became a idea. I wanted to start my own thrift store. As years passed I picked up more and more ideas to add to it. I didn't want any store, I wanted to help people. When I started my plan it was all about keeping good items out of our landfills and making some money. It came to me that I could donate materials donated to local schools for their art programs, and tech schools for engine repair training programs and such. I could also take portions of profits to donate to charity.

There has been so much yet so little going on here really. I rearranged the bedroom to make it better for when Coco has her puppies in a few weeks. She is huge so I assume at least three. She is handling it very well, except, she does whine more now. I love her though.
I have come to realize I do not like Justin when he is tired. He gets very grumpy. Not that he really does anything, but just his attitude. Which usually makes me think he is mad at me. So first I am hurt, and then kinda sad. Then after a while I end up getting mad at him being a grouch. Now that he has left for work, I just feel bad that he has to work tonight, when he is so sleepy. I am really proud of him. We talked to the people at TPI and we are both being considered for their next round of interviews. I am very excited about that.
I got the dishes caught up, and a decent about of house work done, with the exception of laundry. We still have no washing machine. Which is starting to look bad, because when I cleaned out the bedroom I found a bunch of laundry that had been stashed at the end of the bed. So along with regular laundry there is extra laundry.
It has been weird for me to have two days off in a row, but I go back to work tomorrow, and then not another day off for five days straight. I don't mind really. If I don't go to work, I get some serious cabin fever going on because of all the snow. The car won't start right now because of it being below zero or just too close. Plus Magnum hasn't called about getting the parts in for the car yet. When they call though I need to get it up there and hopefully this problem will go away. If it weren't for the car trouble it has caused me, I honestly wouldn't mind winter. It is a part of life and can be very beautiful. But I needed to do things, like go over to my moms to balance my check book, and take swap stuff to the post office. I really miss doing lots of swaps. I loved getting the mail.
Every year for the past four years I think, I have just decided I wanted one big thing for my birthday. Two different years it was a sewing machine, one year was my digital camera, and last year was my laptop. I have decided what I want this year and it is a weird request for sure. I want these clothing racks that are commercial grade Z racks. They use them at goodwill and I looked them up on amazon.com and found out how much they cost. There are two different ones and I need two of each I think. Maybe more, but that would be an awesome start. They run roughly at $80 each with shipping. There are some sellers on ebay that have some that are about $20 to $30 cheaper, but we all know ebay changes day to day. But these racks are on wheels, and are meant to carry very heavy loads. I have killed every single clothing rack walmart carries. I have even bought their super heavy duty ones, and I have put them in their grave. I just own so much clothes and there is so much I want to hang up. It is the best storage method so I can get to everything I need to. Plus if I get these racks, I can push one aside while I look through another. Almost using them like you would turn the pages of a book. But I will have to wait and see how we are sitting in June. That is when I plan to refinance the house and hopefully start the remodel on the basement.

Well, I am pissy at the government!
They have decided to pass a law that requires all businesses to test all clothing and products for under the age of twelve for toxic lead and phthalates. Sounds good right? Well, put it this way, imagine all the thrift stores around the world, having to test every single product that comes in. It is not cheap testing either! Also any untested products are deemed hazardous and must be sent to a landfill. When I worked for GoodWill, I alone in a 4 to 6 hour shift would easily put out over 2,000 pieces of clothes and tons of toys, and at least a third of those were children's! Most small businesses will be put out of business, because they can't afford the testing, and other larger companies that sell second hand will have to raise prices. So were low income families would usually buy their children's clothing those resources will be gone!
So, here are some articles you can check out about this!

Thinking at Work

I have been spending an exceptional amount of time at work lately. I will have 34 hours over time on my next check, if that is a good example. But I do enjoy my job. I get to talk to so many different people and laugh and joke. I can't walk through that casino without having to wave at a dozen people I know.

I have a lot of time to think about things while I am at work too. Co-workers always ask me if I am going to school, and if I am going into law enforcement. When I would tell them no, that was all I really had to say. I have been thinking a lot about it though. This job pays very well, and if I manage my money just right, I can open my own business. I really loved my job when I worked at GoodWill and I miss it a lot. But I want some thing more. I want to open up a business that brings together the community to help them. I want to have special programs were a percent of sales is donated to schools, good grades get discounts and gift certificates, and people who don't know about services such Angel Food can find information about them easily.

I had a few moments at work were I realized how much I love to make people happy. I was working the races and I asked one of the jockeys for some of his extra goggles to give away to some kids. They usually hand them out, but not many kids get them. The races were extra long that day, and so the last few kids who stayed to the end, I handed them out to. Seeing their faces light up just made my night. Then last night I saw a friend from another department with a bunch of balloons, and she handed me one. Well, down in the Triple Crown Buffet their are usually kids some times when people come in for breakfast. So I went down and gave it to this girl in line. She blushed and gave me a shy smile, and at that moment I loved that I had a chance to do that.

It may be years off before I open my own business, but I am hoping before then I can get into some sort of marketing, or office work at Prairie Meadows. It is something I would like, but I want to try to get into a position were I can make a change and a difference. I want to start a recycling program for sure. They would save so much money and it would look very good on them publicly. Every thing now a days is go green, and for a good reason. This is a business that is filling the land fills. Mother nature only has so much to offer if we don't give back.

So, yeah, I have a lot of time to think at work and plan. There is so much I want to do with my life. I used to have this thing about wanting to be remembered, and now I want the effects of my actions to be around for generations to come. I do believe it only takes one person to make a difference.

Okay, I know I have not written in a while. But I am writing now. Zack was evicted due to his behavior and that was bad. He got all confrontational and we had to call the cops on him and his day because they wouldn't leave the property. There was a fight between him and Chris and I got hurt. My wrist is badly bruised and I have a big cut on my thumb. He is to never come back here again. He lied and was rude and just terrible. He can't be trusted at all. He really showed his true colors.
But anyways, moving on. This week has been interesting. I went and took my physical for Prairie Meadows and I am in!!! I start my orientation on Monday! I am worried about mom because they said she was over qualified for the cocktail waitress, so they won't hire her. So she is trying to get on for the cage cashiering. She really needs this job. We just found out my dad has a really bad heart condition. Basically if his heart is under too much stress it could just stop beating and he could die. So it has been really hard for all of us to deal with this.
I quit my job at GoodWill on the spot. I worked a 8 hour Saturday shift and then I was reprimanded later on because I refused to let a lady use the dressing rooms. I was facing a possible 5 day suspension, so I told her that it was quite unreasonable and left. She should have fun covering my shifts, because I worked all this week. But that wasn't the only reason. She also basically said that she wouldn't work around my new jobs hours and was going to fire me anyway. SO I don't know what will happen there, because when I told my mom she made me come forward with all the sexual harassment that I have been receiving from my managers husband. I had kept quiet all this time because I never wanted to cause a conflict were I worked. I loved my job at GoodWill. It really does bum me out that I can't work there anymore.
I have this new found allergy to dog dander, so I have been working on cleaning the house. Plus we are rehoming Cy and thats going to be majorly important to that. He sheds a lot, plus every night he gets worse and worse and tears up stuff, so we know he needs some place new where he can be happy.
I think I have really updated on everything. Oh I have been doing puzzles and gluing them down, they are coming out well. I am going to hang some around the house today.

Sunday, November 11, 2007

I guess I had a pretty good day. I worked form 11:30 to 5:30. I hung bedding mostly. I was able to hang over $400 worth of bedding!! So I am pretty happy with myself. I hope this impresses my manager, but it probably won't. I went over to my moms after work. She came into GoodWill today. She got a bunch of clothes for the kids and some for Koty and stuff. She went and bought Christmas presents for the kids today. I am going shopping with her tomorrow. I have to get the check book balanced. I have been putting it off. I got three pairs of pants hemmed up for Mickey last night, but forgot to take them to her house. So I am going to take them over there tomorrow. I have to be at moms at 9am. She has some doctor appointments she has to go to in the morning. Then we are heading out to DesMoines together. Chris fell down the stairs last night. I was really worried about him. I think he is going to be okay though. I think he might have broke his wrist. But he says it is ok. He said he should be abck to normal tomorrow. I think he should just rest until it is entirely better. He played my pokemon game on the DS. Which is so much easier because of the pen pad.I got some puzzles today and I am going to start one soon.

Pretty Good Day

Today has beena long and interesting day overall. I had my interview and had to watch Mickey before and some after. I picked up Holden from school too. Jeremy went with me. It was nice to have his company. My interview went AWESOME!!! I got the job as a banquet server. I am really excited about starting there. I got Coco and Garth many different types of flea protection. I think I put too much stuff on Garth because he started acting sick just a little while ago. I am holding him now and typing one handed. So it is slow going. But I love to blog. Coco is sleeping on my lap too. We watched the movie The Invisible. OMG it was really good. I cried. Like a lot. I really liked the movie though. Jeremy recommended it for us to watch. He has really good taste in movies. Chris made tacos for dinner, but Zoe ate the leftovers while we were watching the movie. She was very stealth. My mom is working at getting on at Prairie Meadows too. She was talking to them today. I picked up my paycheck from GoodWill today too. Chris gets paid tomorrow. So we will be doing much better really soon. I bought food today. We really needed it. I need to re-apply all of us for food stamps. We need it really bad. There is never really enough to eat around here. Plus it doesn't help we can't keep any freezer food because we are still using a tiny bar fridge. Eh, but I am off to bed now.

Money and Bills

I think about the weirdest things before I go to sleep at night. I was thinking about how difficult it has been lately for me to keep track of the bills and such through the move. I have a hard time remembering if I paid it or if I just paid some of it. So I decided I was going to keep a detailed report in a not book. I takes a lot to write it all out. Because I am also writing out side notes for every transaction, describing what and why. This way if I look back in a months time I can figure out how much I spent when and where. I think I am getting too loose with the money and I need to tighten up a bit with it. I want to keep more detailed track of what I do, even cash and such. This way I have a better idea of were the money is flowing. If I can get that I can figure out ways to save more money. Which will be good, because with me dating Todd I have a feeling I will be spending a lot more gas money, so I can see him. I could only go back about 6 days when I started the notebook this morning. Before that I really don't remember all the details of the transactions.
Mom is having me and Koty go in and resign our advertiser routes. Mom told me that Koty and Jeremy are tired of doing them. Which is fine with me. So I have to go do that in a just a little bit. I also have to stop by the bank and deposit my GoodWill pay check. I got paid late. But it is ok, it is just nice to have a regular paycheck again. Mom is trying to get on at Prairie Meadows with Butch. If she gets on there, when my birthday rolls around they are going to try to get me hired on there too. Which would be really awesome because they pay like $10 starting for a lot of the positions. Plus they awesome benefits and right now I have none.
I had this nightmare last night that I got in a fight with my manager at GoodWill and like clocked out and left in the middle of my shift. And I was at home freaking out and my heart was racing and I kept saying I need to get back to work right now, but I kept finding ways to stall going back. So I don't know whats up with that.

Being Amazed

I had some thoughts yesterday and I forgot to write about them. I hear a lot of bad things in the media about how our world is filled with hate and war. How things are so bad. I worked for seven hours straight on a register at GoodWill. I saw so many smiles. I had so many thank you's. I had a customer ask to use the phone, and before I could even explain that we couldn't make long distance phone calls, I had another customer come over and volunteer her cell phone. She realize that her phone wasn't on her, and went out of her way to go out to her car and get it. Just so that lady could call a relative. I thought that was a wonderful thing. There are so many good people in this world.
I guess this is just a moment to be thankful.
Mickey is watering coco. She is so sweet. I am lucky to have such a nice little sister. Holden is here playing one of our game boys. Zack is sitting in the living room watching full metal alchemist. It is the final episode which is really sad.
But I guess I am going to get my butt off here. I need to brush my hair and get to cleaning.

Cleaning Done

I a ton of cleaning done today. I am so happy with our new home. Chris took his college entrance exams today. I am so proud of him. If it weren't for his parents ruining his chances at college when he got out of high school, he could have been done by now. But this is better any way because the schools in Iowa are so much better then South Carolina schools.
Anyways, Coco is peeing most of time on her puppy pads. I am so proud of her. I love that she can be a super hyper little thing, but then is my little lap buddy too.
My job interview went well, but I don't think it will work out because they are wanting a bunch of short shifts that would interfere with my GoodWill job. So I probably won't end up there. But thats ok, nursing homes can be kinda sad.
I found a bunch of my Hallloween decor today!! I put a bunch up, including this awesome string of lights that are really cute, they are little pumpkins. Oh and I carved a pumpkin on my facebook. It is cute. I let Mickey and Holden do one too. They had fun with it.
I am getting excited though, because my mom is going to have a Halloween party/House warming party. I think we are going to have our house warming party some time early November.
Chris has been a total sweet heart to me today, but then he feels kinda bad about this morning. I went in to wake him up and he scratched me. He didn't mean too but I was supposed to wake him up and he got grumpy. He felt so bad. It is ok though. He is in making chili spaghetti for dinner. He is such a good cook. All the boys are. I am one lucky girl. Me and Zack have been getting along better lately. Which is good for everyone. I am just glad we got so much done around the house today. The living room is useable, the kids are in watching the movie Cars. Zack is too. Today has been pretty good.

Interview

OK, I am up, but so tired. I have a job interview today at 2. I need to find my hair clips so I can put my hair up in a bun. It is driving me nuts not being able to. I love my hair and all but we need time apart. Today won't be too interesting I assume because I work at 4, at GoodWill and then my interview. Other then that a whole lot of nothing going on. Jeremy doesn't have school, so he will probably sleep all day. Then Zack is in sleeping as well. His dad stopped by last night and should come by some time today. Which is good because he is supposed to give me 5 bucks and take our empty cardboard boxes. I just realized that I am the only one not sleeping. Coco is laying here in my lap, passed out. All the boys are sleeping, and Cy and Zoe are not to be found. It was funny last night Cy was snoring in the hallway. The boys got my closet put together, Chris has a few final things to do before it is finished.
I had this bad dream last night that I had to check my water coming out of my pipes in the bath tub to see if they had this bug or poison or something in it. So I took home this test and tried it and we had it and I was freaking out. Then my dream switched over to me and Chris walking around this weird carnival place looking at used fridges. This one makes sense, because we need one. But every time we found one we liked and could afford, then it would have a tag on it saying some one had either bought it or reserved it. SO that was tons of fun. Oh and then Chris got a bunch of ice cream and was carrying it on his shoulder and was dropping it on the floor and I was really mad at him, because the place we were at was all hard wood floors and he got in trouble for dropping it. I was so mad and frustrated in my dream. Then some little girl was bugging me to do my hair, which happens a lot and I usually like but in my dream I had already taken the time to do it up and detailed braids and didn't want it messed with. But they kept bugging me. So yeah, not so great dreams last night.
But speaking of my hair, I need to go look for those clips and get me something to eat.

New Post!!!

Okay I know I have not written in a while so this will probably be a long post, your eyes may bleed when you are done reading it all. If it is short when I am done, then HA! fooled you! Just kidding, but I am going to write my little heart out.
I have missed my Internet sooo badly. I had it shut off before the move and swore to myself I would not have new service put in until after we emptied the other house completely. This way I would not be distracted and stuff. In between this time and that time, we moved into our new home!! I am now officially a home owner! I love it here, the only major issue is the basements floods, so we have to get some exterior work done, before we can make it livable done there. I am going to turn this two bedroom house into a four bedroom eventually.
Oh, and I am now back among working people. My old manager at GoodWill called me and asked me to come back. I said yeah, because I loved that job a ton. I have already worked two days and I have 28 hours next week. While we are talking about jobs, I also have a interview for Heritage manor tomorrow that I have to go to. I would love to get hired on there, they have benefits! So we will see what happen with that. I will probably have to work two jobs. But I happen to like money so it will be okay. I think.
Coco has gained a whole pound! She is up to 3 pounds now. I love her so much. She is actually starting to use her puppy pads, but she gets confused a lot because she is so small and we keep moving all the furniture around. So I would have a hard time finding the bathroom too if I was her.
We got the Internet hooked up this morning, but they messed up a bunch of stuff and it didn't start working until a hour or so ago. Chris had to go into work early, so I got on here FINALLY. I have really missed the Internet, have I mentioned that yet??
Jeremy and Zack are back in my bedroom building me a closet that Chris and I designed. But if we ever move out we have to take it apart, because it can only go up and down the hallway because it is so big. But I really need it because I own a lot of clothes. Don't believe me? There are two 5 foot long dressers in my office/living room/dining room and they are full of clothes as well as a 2 shelves on a 5 foot book shelf. Plus I haven't even unpacked every thing. I can't find my pants!! Luckily I can go for a long time before I run out of clean clothes.
Then there is Zoe. She has been running around the house like a mad cat. Well now we can't find her, so we think it may be baby time. I wasn't expecting anything until at least November. But she may just be hiding because the boys are running power tools.
Okay I think maybe I might possibly be done writing for now. I think I may need to supervise the boys, if they screw up my closet I just may have to hurt them.

Just Cleaning


I have been cleaning most of the day. Just trying to get things ready for the move on the 12th. I am really excited to finally own my own home, and it is not a mobile home or a trailer. I might be re-applying at GoodWill if Chris gets this job. It would be awesome pay. I won't know until tonight or tomorrow though what is going on with that. He needs to talk to these guys who are staying at the hotel. I am so hungry. I have no idea what to eat though. Plus Coco is taking a nap in my lap. I really don't want to disturb her. Oh and me and my mom weighed her last night she weighs 2 pounds and .1 once. That is so tiny!

Meet Coco Bean Mills

Meet Coco Bean Mills!! She is the newest addtion to our family.

She is a full chihuahua. She is seven weeks today. She was born Aug. 15, 2007. She is a little sweet heart!
I love her so much! My mom named her. I had a hard time coming up with a name that stuck. Mom said she looked like chocolate and that is her coloring. So it stuck. I am super happy to have her. In a month or so a friend of Lindas will have puppies and I would like to get a little boy. Coco's parents were 'married' puppies. Her dad died like two weeks ago. So I think when Coco grows up, she will get married like her parents. I am into weird stuff like that. Cy is pretty jealous. But I think if we work with him in time, I think he will be fine. Oh and Zoe is starting to look pretty pregnant. So we will be having little kitties in the future!
I had a pretty good day. I went and picked up advertisers for the boys and ran to a few stores. I want to work at GoodWill again so bad. I miss it there. If Chris gets this job he has been talking about I could work there again. Because the amount of income I make wouldn't matter. I loved my job. Now I am not saying it didn't suck from time to time. But I did enjoy it. I stopped at Salvation Army and got some neat stuff.

Monday, October 01, 2007

Early/Late

Well I got up early and late for what time I was supposed to get up. I need to get over to my moms. I put flea and tick medicine on Cy last night and now he stinks. I am not sure if they are connected or not, but he does stink. Jeremy went to school and Zack headed out to work. SO it is just Chris here sleeping. I would wake him up, but he is always grumpy when I do. He doesn't work until four. I have a new chart that I picked up at GoodWill. I use it to keep track of the boys work schedules. Since that kinda matters now that I am home all the time. Chris is going to go and talk to some guys about a job tonight. It pays awesome, but has a lot of travel. So I guess we will see what happens with that. He will be home at mid-night.

Productive Day

So far today has been really productive. I have done three loads of laundry(and counting). I got the mail and took Cy for a walk. We went and picked up and a few things at Wal-Mart and GoodWill. Also dropped off a donation at GoodWill. Now I have Jeremy doing the dishes and Chris is going to pick up the living room and then play the new game I bought him today. He is so excited about it. It is sooo cute. I am very excited about tomorrow, we are going to go pick up our new cat. Her name is Zoe, and she is a Siamese. She might be pregnant too! I am relly looking forward to it!! I love Siamese cats. But I am off to pack some more stuff.

New Couch

We went and picked up a new couch. We got some funny looks too, because we picked it up with the Honda! It was pretty easy in my opinion. Mickey and Holden came over today. I gave them both baths. Oddly enough, for Mickey, I already had clean clothes over here for her. I bought her this cute little out-fit from GoodWill. Things are still kinda weird between me and Pat, my old manager, because I dated her son. She was working today, and it's kinda a odd tension. He was nice, just not what I was looking for. But any way, I talked to Danielle finally, and things are going good for her. I was checking to see with her if either of her girls wanted to buy some clothes. I am selling some to Lindas daughter, but I need to see if I can find some more people to buy some. Holden and Mickey were really good when I had them like usual. I can't wait until I live down the street and I can see them any time. It is probably going to drive mom crazy because they will always take off to see me!

Ebay Items

I have a few ebay items ending in the next few minutes. I already sold one. I am glad they are selling, it is extra money we can use toward the house. I got the garage cleaned out, because I think we are going to get another couch. It is pretty neat. I went to GoodWill earlier, I got a skirt, Zack some new shirts, and Jeremy new pants and shorts. I also got Mickey a new out-fit for school. She is wearing this pretty blue dress today that I got her.

New Glasses

The kind you drink out of........But anyways, yeah I picked up two new glasses at goodwill because in the ;ast few days Zack has done a good job of breaking items at my house. He is going to move in here soon enough though. Zack and Chris cleaned out the garage today, so we can put most of Zacks Furniture in there.
