The Waiting Game

Here are a few things I am waiting for......

Veronica Mars Season 2 to come out on DVD(August 21!)

Life Group to begin again( I need that mid-week fellowship)

A chance to sleep until 10 or after( I don't see this happening anytime soon!)

Jason to get his first placement

SCHOOL TO START!!!

My taste buds to decide they don't like Alfredo(that stuff is SO bad for you, but tastes SO good!)

Nick Lachey to tell me I am the woman of his dreams......LOL!

A chance to scrapbook with the LifeSavers, I need a retreat!

Amanda to get her kids back

My life to return to "normal", whatever normal is.......

Wishy-Washy

Yup, that's me. Not a phrase that would normally describe me. I'm usually pretty straightforward. This new job thing has me all confused! I tried to give Roy my 2 week notice on Friday, and I cried. Yes, I cried. I guess my emotions just got the best of me. So he told me to take until Monday. Today I told him I was going to leave, now I'm 2nd guessing AGAIN! I hate working on Saturday. I also hate the thought of being on commission. Also, I know I'm a shu-in for the next DM position that opens up. Can I hang on that long? Do I really want to drive 30 minutes 1 way, to have a Saturday off? Right now I'm 5 minutes from home, Jonathan's school, and Savannah's school. AGH! What's a girl to do?? I think I'm going to stay. If I can. Roy put out 2 offers today. I have to wait and see if they pass the credit and background check. I'm so confused. I want to be a SAHM again and not have to worry about any of this.

The Pink Ladies pledge is to act cool, look cool and to be cool...'till death do us part THINK PINK!

So last night at Wal-mart I was diggin' through the 2 for $11.00 movie bin, and guess what I found?

GREASE 2

Can I even begin to explain how much I love this movie? I love this movie more than any other movie out there! It's cheesey, it has bad costumes, and way to many sexual innuendoes! I have gotten Elize to love it, and my hope is Savannah will too. It is one of my favorite memories of my youth.


I should hear something tomorrow about my new job. They have called 2x this week to verify my employment. I did my drug screen on Monday, and I don't have any worries about that. I'm still a little afraid of taking the new job and having both Jason and I on commission. We'll see what happens hopefully I will leave the Cash Store on good terms so if something happens I can go back.

I'm tired, I'm gonna lay down with Sister and watch Wimbledon. G'night!

Breaking Point

I have put up with so much! Been there when times got rough, and I mean really rough! Supported with out question. What do I get?? Not the same that is for sure. Is it hard right now? Heck ya it is. Will it get better? Of course! Does that mean someone has the right to be mean and ugly? NO! I'm so tired of the negativity. I can't hang with it. It's not me. I'm the positive queen. The girl who always sees the flip side, the happy side, the light at the end of the tunnel. I try and make the best of every situation. When life gives me lemons, I make the best darn lemonade. I can't handle all this negativity, I'm about at my breaking point.

This should make you a smile

Little bit of this...Little bit of that!

I'm so ready for my Saturdays to be mine again! I keep thinking, in 3 more weeks no more Saturdays! Oh I can't wait! I'm still a little freaked out about the new job, but I think I'll be ok. Worst case senerio, I hold on for 6 months, then transfer out of that dept. OH YEA! Guess what? I can wear jeans to work! Hallelujah! It's business causal, so jeans with a nice top is OK! SWEET! I have never given a notice. Anyone know what I should say, how I should say it? I know they are going to be upset.

I have to run, I gotta get ready for work!

I haven't been out that late on Thursday in years!!

The birthday girl! Isn't she lovely???
Me, Nuna, and Sitster at The Bronx Zoo


Misty singing something about being a pimp... Thank God Sonic has a 24 hour drive thru!

Happy Birthday Little Sister!!!

I got it!

Not that there was much doubt, but I got it! They offered me the job. I called back to accept, but the HR lady was gone for the day. I'm petrified of being on commission, but at least I have 3 months at a good salary to get into the groove of my job. It's further from home then I work now, but NO SATURDAYS!! Agh, the sweet sounds of the weekend. Just in time for football season. So if anyone is looking to purchase or refinance a home, I'm your girl!

Leaving....

I'm leaving now for my interveiw, pray I make the choice.

Carolyn's Big Weekend!

I'm ready! What are we doing?
Oooohhh, That's cold! What's going on?


Holy Moly, What happend??? Why does it have to hurt so much to be beautiful????
I'm so pretty..........

Scrap Goodies and Starbucks.....

I got some scrap goodies in the mail yesterday. I was so stinking excited! The new distress ink is too cool. It's bright blue and orange. Broken China and Spiced Marmalade to be exact, I also got some Hiedi Swapp and doodlebug silk flowers, as well as some doodlebug buttons. Yipee! To make it even better, tonight after work, I'm hooking up with Lou and Nuna for some starbucks. Could this week get any better??

L.O.V.E. this girl!

I have always been an A.S fan, I love almost all her songs, her funky style and her coolness under pressure involving her big sis. I always thought she was pretty in her own quirky way too. Tonight, I saw she released the video for her new song invisible, so I checked it out. WHOA! When she started singing I almost did not recognize her!! She looks awesome, beyond awesome. She is so much more pretty than Jess. I'm not sure if she's still denying the nose job or not, I don't really care. Either way she looks wonderful. Check it out at the bottom of the blog.

Nothing makes a day better.....

Then coming home to pretty girls in your e-mail box! These lovely ladies belong to to my good friend Tara. When I first met them Julie was only 1 1/2! Yes, it was a long time ago! Almost 6 years! My how time flies! Love you guys:)

Monday=Blah!

I needed to be at work at 8 a.m. I have so much stuff to get done since they took away my collections guy. I hate doing collections. Not so much the collecting part, but the tedious paperwork that goes with it. We had 21 returned checks on Friday. I didn't get a chance to start any of them. We'll probably have the same amount today. Can we say overwhelmed? I need to do all that in addition to my normal managerial duties. Oh joy. I reset my weight loss counter. I'm starting over from today. I haven't been keeping track of points very well. One good thing about my collections guy being gone is I won't eat out as much. He was always running to get food and getting me some too. Now I'll be to busy to eat since I'll be doing his job and mine! I better go, since I didn't make it there by 8, I need to be there by 9! Have a great day folks.

Mindless blabbing.....

Not a lot going on here at the Hallock house. I think I am going to look for a new job. I am feeling super under appreciated in my current position. I wish I could stop working. I can't wait for Jason to start rolling at his new job. This working woman crap is not what I signed up for! I want to be home, I want to drive carpool, I want to be room mom, I want all the goods and bads that go with being a stay at home mom. I love it. I miss it. Can you tell I'm not into women's lib? LOL! Jason and I found a house we would love to buy. Buy it needs a lot of work. It's in the same neighborhood we are in now, just a few streets over. 4-2.5-2, with a formal living and dining, family room and game room. It's a foreclosed so it's going for super cheap. BUT, it needs carpet, and sink, from what we can tell from looking through the windows. The good Lord, only know what else! The asking price is pretty cheap though, so if we could add the money to our loan for the other stuff we might be okay. Jason and I are so NOT handy. It would be a learning experience, no doubt. Anthony got a hair cut today. He was in desperate need! He was looking scraggly. Some friends from our life group took A and C for 3 hours today so the Hallock family and the Duke family could have some alone time. It was great. We didn't do anything special, just lunch then to Barnes and Noble. The kids loved it though. They deserve it. I guess that is all for now. My nothing turned out to be quite a bit. I'm hoping to scrapbook a little tonight. I'm working on a page that is is VERY special to me. I can't wait to finish it so I can post it. First, I have to clean though! I'm off. Happy Saturday Folks!

Happy Birthday Baby!

My hubby is turning 31 today! WoW! We were such babies when we first met. It's hard to believe that he was 20 when we started dating, and now we are celebrating 31......

Happy Birthday Hunny!

To all men

"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved."

Here's to you Katina, Justyne, Diana, Staci, Melibelle, Misty, Claudia and all my other scrapper friends!

World’s Greatest Scrapper

You may not see her layouts
In any of the magazines
Although she scraps her babies and teens
And some kids in between.
She takes photos daily
And is the best recorder of life by far
With some of her best action shots
Taken from her moving car.
She rarely has time for photo shoots
But she snaps each special event
To record her family’s history
She lists as her main intent.
Her days are filled with carpools
Driving kids here and there
She is a dedicated mother
And takes her camera everywhere.
Her photos are a reflection
Of her life each day
And on her pages she records
Her memories in a positive way.
She doesn’t scrap for editors
Or for products to display
She scraps life as it is
She scraps the everyday.
But when she brings her albums out
A hush over the room will fall
For everyone in the familyloves
Mom’s albums best of all!
