things are looking up

last week at a glance: My First Week in ORLANDO

Monday: Celeste and i arrived in orlando in a timely fashion - we searched for where i would be living- found it just as it was getting dark- we had dinner at mimi's and made a quick stop to Target before we called it a night-

Tuesday: woke up and got ready for the day- walked around the mall, had early lunch at Panera Bread, took another trip to Target and dropped Celeste off at the airport - when i got back home i met Trevor, we went out for lunch(yes, i had 2 lunches that day) then did a bit of grocery shopping at Publix- we drove around International Drive, and got a bit lost- but found our way back home-

Wednesday: drove around, saw our new apt(we move in nov 1)got a bit more familar with the area, had a late lunch @ Bahama Breeze

Thursday: interview day - applied&interviewed at Joes Crab Shack - then open interview at Infusion Tea - Infusion Tea called me back 4 hours later to let me know i got the job- we drove around Downtown Orlando for a while- Trevor and I ate dinner at a really cool Mexican place close by my work-

Friday: went to work to fill out paperwork at 10am - came home and just relaxed by the pool- Trevor brought home pizza for dinner-

Saturday: LAZY DAY - i did nothing, not a single thing- didnt leave the house once :)

Sunday: bought black shirts for work- went to DTD, possibly cried because i love disney soooo much, ate lunch at Earl of Sandwich -

TODAY: its 10AM - im ready for the day, anticipating 5pm.. thats when i work- im leaving here at 4pm. im not sure how traffic will be but it takes about 45 min to get to work from where i live right now- it will save me 20 when we get into our new apt- im not sure what i'm doing after work- hopefully something will come up-

EXTRAS:

• right now we are staying in his aunts vacation home till ours is ready- this one has 3 bedrooms, and a private pool- its quite nice!!
• our new apt is closer to everything- its just a 2 bedroom, so we dont have to find a 3rd roomie, we will each get our own bedroom and bathroom, no private pool, but there arent as many kids at that location-
• i still need to find somewhere to wash my car-
• i dont know how much longer i can handle not having access to WDW- i might have to break down and dip into my savings to get a year pass-
• i hope i make some friends at work-

overall i love it here- i think i will continue to be very pleased!

See, i love lists! The.END

i love lists-

i have been trying to find things to blog about, but for some reason i cant find anything blog worthy anymore-

i suppose i could talk about:

• how sad it was to be in st.george, and not be able to visit my dear becky sue-
• how the girls and i have so much fun when mom and dad are out of town-
• how im at work right now, but im not working-
• how i miss my boyfriend so much-
• how i hated highschool so much, and then having to re-live it when a girl from my grade is now my co-worker...
• how im trying to decide what to do, move back to st.g or stay here in nephi with the family
• how i lost two of my days off this week, because i simply cant say NO-
• how i am half-way to Disney World, just 2 more years worth of coins, and we will be there!
• how i cant stop thinking of my best friend lilly getting married, and then realizing how far apart we really are.
• how i could probably start phase 2 on my meds, but im too scared that in the future i wont have enough $ to pay for all of it-
  
• how if i could have my way, i would find somewhere to live and take celeste with me to finish out her high school so she doesn't have to go through the same things i did.
• how a road trip might be coming into play this summer- perhaps to seattle? maybe cali? who knows-
• how there are so many things that keep coming into my head, but im not sure how to say them out loud-

i don't think i want to blog about anything right this moment-- perhaps some other time-
