Happy Birthday to Me!!

Well, I am officially 23!! I don’t really feel any different though. I just can’t believe that January is almost over! Where does the time go? Soon there will only be 3 months until my wedding!! When my fiance got home from work, he got a quick shower and then we went out to dinner where I got a free meal for my birthday! Then we came home and he passed out right away. He said he was going to take a nap, but that was 6:30 and now it is about 9:30, so he’s out for the night. I’m kinda sad that he went to bed so early because the next 3 nights I have to work till either 9 or 10, so I won’t get to see him that much. I really can’t wait till I get a full-time teaching job so that we will both be working during the day and then can spend our nights together. Oh well, right now I just need to work when I can. We have the rest of our lives to spend together so for now we just have to deal with not seeing each other a few nights a week.

Overall my birthday was pretty good. I stayed in my PJ’s until 3:30, did some wash, and watched some shows on my DVR. I also picked up 3 new subbing jobs today so I’m really excited about that! It is nice to have at least one day off during the school week so that I can pick up more subbing jobs. I find that most of the jobs get posted during the school day. I have 11 subbing jobs scheduled so far and my farthest one out is on May 3rd!! I also have one each in March and April! Let’s hope I can keep getting this many subbing jobs!

Well, that’s about all for now. Have a great rest of your Monday night everyone!!

Another year older…

I’m not doing so good at keeping up with my blog like I said I was going to. I’ve been busy with subbing, working as a cashier, and cleaning up the house. So far this week I have 3 subbing jobs! Maybe I can pick up a 4th one, but I won’t be picking up one tomorrow cause tomorrow is my birthday!!! I’ll be the big 23!! It’s so weird because it doesn’t feel like it is my birthday. I guess since I hit 21, now there’s not really anything to look forward to age-wise. When I turned 16 I could drive, 18 I was considered an adult, 20 I was no longer a teenager, and 21 I could drink. Now that I’m 23, there isn’t really anything new that I can do that I couldn’t do before. But oh well. Another year older and another year wiser!!
I started crocheting again last night. I wanted to learn how to start something new, so I found a video on youtube to learn how to make the first loop and chain. I’m only doing the simplest stitch right now but maybe eventually I can learn more complex stitches. I’m working on a baby blanket that will be for my baby in the future. I’m making a blue one but should probably also work on a pink one in case I have a girl first. I would love to have a girl first, but who knows.

So that’s about it that’s new with me. I’ve been pinning a bunch on Pinterest recently so I’ll leave you with one of my favorite pins I've found recently.

This would be awesome to make after the wedding. And really simple, too. I think they sell wood blocks at AC Moore…

Weekend Recap

Well, another weekend is gone. Friday night B and I went to a retirement party for his aunt and then spent the night at his sister’s place. It was nice seeing his family again. I have loved his family since the day I met them!! Then on Saturday I worked from 10:30-6:30. While I was at work, B made plans for us to go bowling with some of his friends. They were having a Rock and Bowl special from10-12:30. It was alright except for the music they were playing. Towards the end they started playing recent songs, but they played a lot of 80s music.

Then yesterday I didn’t work until 5:30 pm, so we decided to go to the gym in the morning. This was my 3rd time going to the gym with B and I’m feeling pretty good. I’m not trying to lose any weight, I just want to stay in shape. My future sister-in-law got me hooked onto Grey’s Anatomy (we watched the first 2 episodes on Friday night), so yesterday at the gym, while we rode the stationary bikes, I watched another episode on my iPhone. Then after the gym, we went home and B made us eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and biscuits for brunch. Then we just relaxed for the rest of the day.

And that’s about it for my weekend. Now I’m just relaxing at home, doing some house work. I might go hangout with a friend later. I have subbing jobs the next 3 days, so Friday is the next day that I have to relax. Have a great Monday everyone!!!

Weekend Recap

Hey there bloggers! I had a great weekend!! The best day of the weekend was Sunday because I had off work!! B and I went on our first date of the year and the first date if the "12 Dates of Christmas" that I gave him for Christmas. What is that you are wondering? I took 12 Manila envelopes and in each one I had a note saying what the date of the month is. At the beginning of each month, we open the envelope and read what the date is, then plan it for sometime that month. January's date was ice skating!! I figured since I had off this past Sunday, what better time to go!

So after ice skating, we hit up BJ's to do some shopping. I got another Clearasil Perfectawash because mine broke!!! A few months ago I wrote a post about the Perfectawash. It's an automated thing that you put your hand under and then the perfect amount of face wash gets dispensed in your hands. It really works when I use it every morning and every night. And I don't always do that but I am determined to for at least the next 4 months because I want my face to be clear for the wedding!!! So get this, the Perfectawash system with the machine and 3 refills was only $5.30!!! Elsewhere you will pay $18 or more, so I definitely got a good deal!!
After that we went home and got changed to go to the gym!! B just recently signed up for a gym membership and is going in the morning before work. He can take one guest at a time for free, so I'm going to go with him every now and then. And the next time we go, I'm taking my kindle so I can do some reading while running on the treadmill!!
Well, that's about it for my weekend. Today I had a substitute position for a Pre-K class and that went really well. Tomorrow I'll be doing the same thing but it is in a different school district and it's only 4 hours long, so it will be a piece of cake!! Have a great rest of your Monday night everyone!!
