sweet summer

helllllloooo!

sorry that it's been so long since i've posted. i've been super busy. my trip home was a ton of fun. it was good to see friends and the family. the lake party was so much fun!! i was so glad that i was able to come this year and that laura and dad were also able to make it. it was nice to be home. hopefully next time will be longer though!

i had my second in person interview with that company and am still waiting to hear back from them. they said that it would be later this week since they had a big shoot this weekend, but i'm starting to get uneasy! i guess if i haven't heard from them by 5pm tomorrow, i will write them an e-mail just letting them know that i am still interested! i haven't really found any other jobs on-line that are in my field... but i'm going to keep looking. we'll see...

tory's friend scott came in town last wednesday, so we've been busy entertaining. i took him to all of the fun touristy stuff since he had never been to california before. we had a great time. i'm so tired now though. i'm ready to sleep for a while. i'll probably be pretty lazy the rest of the week and try to get over this thing. i feel like i've had this for almost a month now. soooo lame. hmph, hopefully it will pass soon.

my dad is going to north carolina this weekend. i wish i could go! i miss going to north carolina. it feels like it's been such a long time! i wish plane tickets weren't so expensive and i would be there in a heartbeat! but i definitely can't afford that right now w/being laid off and all that jazz. hmph, maybe next year... who knows..

yeaaaa... so not much is going on... i'll let you guys know if/when i ever hear from the job people... hopefully it will be soon and it will be positive! ahhhh! we'll see...

hope you guys are doing great. love and miss you all!!

some dinners... life...



this was the pizza that we made last night... notice how it is half eaten because i forgot to take a pic of the final product... woops. anywho, it had sausage, bacon, green peppers, red peppers and onions! it was tassssty!!! i ate too much of it!


i made this a couple weeks ago... roast beef, mashed potatoes, and a caesar salad... mmm. mighty tasty. this is one of tory's favorite meals and it's super easy!


i also made this dinner a couple weeks ago.. it's called mexican chicken, it has salsa and cheese on top of it! it was okay... not my fav, but the green beans, salad and baked potato were mighty good! mmmm!

well tory and i are leaving for kentucky tonight! it will be nice to be home!! i'm excited to see laura, sarah, and my dad!! and of course all of my other friends that i will hopefully get a chance to see for at least a wee bit! i haven't started packing yet, soooo i should probably start to do that soon just so it can be out of the way and i don't have to think about it. i can't wait for the lake party this weekend! it's going to be so much fun!! i'm excited that laura and my dad are going to be able to come too! it should be a great time!!

well, i had that interview for the part time job on monday. i think it went pretty good. it lasted about an hour, so that's a good sign i think. i made them laugh a lot, or at least i think i did, so that's good too! it's hard when you're being interviewed by two people because eye contact is so much harder, trying to pay attention to both of them and not make them feel like you're leaving one of them out! haha, oh well! anywho, i wrote them a thank-you e-mail monday night and they wrote me back tuesday around noon saying that they wanted to see me again on thursday!!! ahhhhh!! well, i told them in the interview that i would be leaving town wednesday night, so they said that they would just wait to see me again on tuesday! sooooo, hopefully that interview will go good and i can start working again soon! although this whole getting laid off thing isn't too bad, haha. it's nice being able to take it easy and hang out with the boys. and i haven't really had all that much down time anywho trying to get everything together for the trip! well, i'll let you guys know how the interview on tuesday goes! hope you guys have an awesome weekend!!

love and miss you all,

laid offffff

hello everyone!

i hope everyone is doing great. i am a.okay. i had a blast while becca and brittany were here! we had so much fun! went shopping in san fran on thursday, dinner in north beach.. mmm. friday we went to stinson beach w/britt's family from sacramento, drove over the golden gate bridge... but it was soooooo freaking foggy! it made me mad!! oh well, that just means that they'll have to come back! saturday we woke up early and went on our bike, wine, and dine trip! it was soooo much fun!! we were smart though and decided to share a wine tasting glass at the different vineyards. i ended up with a farmers sunburn from the ride, but it was worth it! sunday we went to sausalito with tory and his family and ms. yvonne and bob! we took a ferry from san fran to the little city. it was too cute! we had so much fun! we went back to the city and had the best bloody mary's ever at zeitgeist!!! after that we had mexican in the haight/ashbury area! and monday the girls left.. :( all in all i had a great time and hope that they did too!! it was nice to have some girl friends in town!! i hope they come back again soon! tuesday i went wine tasting again with tory and his parents and their friends! it was so much fun!! it was nice to not have to bike everywhere, because my butt hurt!! :) we had soooooo much fun at all of the different places!!!! it was nice to see some new vineyards and to go to francis ford coppola's winery and another winery that looked like a castle! it was sooo neat!!! we had a great time!! they are sooooooo much fun!!!

well, monday i was supposed to have an in-person interview for this job, but the lady called and had to move it. i now have an interview on monday, hopefully it will go good! it would be for the company that does proactiv commercials, part time, as a testimonial asst. i would be in charge of sending out free samples, getting people to do the commercials and some other stuff.. it sorta sounds like what i do here, but with more responsibility which i am so ready for. i will let you guys know how the interview goes!

i came into work on wednesday and noticed a piece of paper that was on the bulletin board type thing that i keep all of my sports schedules, it read: imporant numbers, state unemployment office. i was like whaaaaaat? so, around 11 or so my boss finally walks in and is like, "we need to talk" well... needless to say, i got laid off. today is my last day in the office. i'm fine with it. i already filed for unemployment... i'd rather get laid off than have to come in every day of the summer in this windowless place! hopefully the interview on monday will go great and i'll be working again in no time! but, we'll see.. i'm not going to get my hopes up about it just because i don't want to be disappointed like last time! i just know that i'm not going to apply for any admin job, if i'm going to start over from scratch being an admin asst i want it to be for a production company where there is a chance of moving up!

this time next week tory and i will be home! i'm excited. it's only for a short period of time, but it will be nice to be home for a wee bit. i'll be in lou all day on thurs and fri and then head to the lake on saturday for tory's parents big lake party! it's going to be so much fun!! i can't wait!! i think dad, laura, and bryan are going to come too!! i still need to double check w/sarah to see if she has asked jeff if he was interested or not! either way, it should be a great time. then sunday we're going to have a cookout at the house for father's day! i can't wait!

i'll keep you guys updated about the interview and everything else that is going on. hope you guys have an awesome friday and an even better weekend!

love and miss you all,
