New Blog

Well I think I've let this blog go stale. I'm tired of it, so I started a new, better blog, which I promise I will attempt to update more than this one, and I might get a little help with the new one.

Decisions

Well my job at the bridal gallery will come to an end this Saturday. So for about the last month I've been very stressed out about where I'll be working. Well yesterday I got offered two jobs both starting Monday!! My problem is, I have no idea which one to take. They are both jobs I've never done before, and I don't know very much about either one. Here is what I do know:
Job #1
Front Desk Clerk at Candlewood Inn and Suites.
-Pay is the same as I make now
-I would work 6a.m. to 2p.m. Monday-Wednesday and 2p.m to 10p.m Thursday and Friday.
-It's a pretty slow job where I'd be able to read and play online, just as long as I'm at the desk.
-Located close to home

Job#2
Graphics Person at Camden Library Group
-Pay is 50 cents more than what I make now and for the next several weeks overtime is mandatory.
-I'd go at 7 and stay until 4:30 or 5 on weekdays and some Saturdays are also required.
-It's a job with no downtime, I'd be working on making book covers more clear and data entry.
-Located in North Topeka
-It's through a temp agency but it's supposed to be a temp to hire position, but at the same time it's still through a temp agency

So basically two jobs that are completely opposite each other. I have to make a decision today and here is where I stand.
I wouldn't mind more pay, but I don't know how I feel about "mandatory" overtime.
Driving out there would use a lot of gas, so maybe all the overtime would just go to that anyway.
I dread the thought of temp work again.
But I don't like having nothing to do at work.
I don't want to work evenings, but I also don't want to work Saturdays.

Hmmm, am I just too picky?
Don't know what to do...

Complaining

I feel like my last couple of posts have been very complainy. Well I'm here to say that my life is incredible!
David and I just returned from an amazing trip to Utah where we were able to go to the temple and be sealed for time and all eternity.
I saw a lot of my family that I hadn't seen for over a year.
David and I both have good jobs, that let us eat out way too much.
My birthday is this week and since I was born on my mom's birthday we get to celebrate together.
My health is good!
I am blessed with an adorable sister and an adorable sister-in-law that are both in kindergarten and both LOVE to share their wisdom. (As we all know everything you need to know you learn in kindergarden!)
The prospects look good that I'll have a new job when my store closes.
And I get to go eat lunch with my hubby right now!
Have a beautiful day!

Standing Still

Stuck...

My first Kubie Christmas

Well actually I spent some of Christmas with the Kubie's last year, but this is my first year as a Kubie! (Cool!)
I was stressed because it seemed like our families were going to have conflicting schedules, but it all turned out just fine.
Except that I got the flu, so most of Christmas day I slept.
But anyway it was still GREAT! David loves what I got him and he picked out my presents perfectly!
We were able to spend lots of time playing with people we love and remembering why we love them.
All and all I couldn't have asked for a better "first Christmas" and I'm excited for more to come!
I love being cheesy...

Humble pie please...

Last week we lost power for a few days.
Monday I lost my job.
Tuesday I had a breakdown.
Wednesday I got my job back, but I made a lot of potential employers very angry with me in the process.
Wednesday Night I had strawberry lemonade spilled all over me at a restaurant.
Today I burned a fist sized hole right through the lace on a wedding gown-the wedding is next week.
From now on I stay in bed.

Lonely and Christmas Eve Rant

Lonely
For awhile now I've been feeling very lonely-not in my marriage but everywhere else. I think that when I got married I alienated everyone else from my life. I was just too caught up in marriageville or something. But I realized that none of my friends call me anymore (you have to call people to receive calls) and even most of my family just assumes that I'm too busy and I don't get invited over to family dinners and stuff anymore. It sucks.
So Sunday a couple from the branch invited us over for game night on Thursday. I was thrilled! But Thursday's I work until close, so we got there about 1.5 hours after everyone else (I think 4 other couples were there). They'd already started a game and I just sat there, kind of observing. It was so weird to be in a room with people and just feel like I wasn't even there. I used to be so social, but the few times I even tried to join the conversation I would get all flustered and start blushing! I haven't done that since middle school. It's so strange to feel like you don't fit in with the people your age. Everyone around me is moving forward-starting their families-finishing school-working in their careers-something-and I feel like I'm standing absolutely still. It sucks.

Christmas Eve Rant
I don't remember my family ever doing anything on Christmas Eve. Never. Never-Ever-Ever. So when we were discussing what to do about Christmas it seemed very simple. His family always goes to Kansas City for Christmas Eve. So we'd do that, then spend Christmas day (well morning at least-David wasn't real willing to give up the whole day) with my family. So this is the year my family decides to do Christmas on Christmas Eve. My relatives from Oklahoma want to come up on Christmas Eve instead of waiting until the day of or a few days after to do Christmas. And I have to work until 2 and David has to work until 4. I was so upset when my mom told me I actually almost started crying. The first year David's whole family will be together for like 3 years or something. It's ridiculous and completely unfair. It freaking sucks. I'm having a bad day.
