Wow... Time Flies By...


Its hard to believe it is almost April!! It is even harder to believe that tomorrow I will move into my apartment (or start the process anyway)... I have all the paint etc in my auto & I am so ready to just start the whole process... And I can not wait until my next payday the day after Easter so I can be sure to purchase my bed. I am getting a matress from my parents... I am so stoaked to get this all going, but at the same time its stressful. I am STILL working on the blog for my February book... It is taking forever... Hopefully I can finish it tonight or GOD KNOWS when I will get the chance to finish it again!! Things are getting busy!! Tonight is my last real night to relax before the chaos begins... I have an auto that smells of paint that I am ready to put on my walls and I am ready to just get at it... Tonight though I am going to work on that blog from February some more, download music, and yeaaaa chill :)


I also accomplished another thing on my goals list (I believe on the 26th?!?) I bought a Tamagotchi!! (In the picture)... I had wanted one SO bad as a child (age 8 or 9) but nor my parents or I could afford one... the price has since gone down now that they are no longer the latest fad, and I finally bought one. My first charecter apparently thought I neglected him and returned to Tama Planet (when I took good care of it)... My latest charecter got set on pause and I have no idea how to fix it... so yeah.... have to figure that out haha...


Well I hope to post SOMEWHAT soon again & hope to have that blog from February FINALLY done soon... You can follow me on twitter @ www.twitter.com/RayeRhodesUK I tweet quite often (face it I'm a twitter whore already)... thats probably the best way to know what is going on with me...


Til Next time,

I Love Chad... But Wichita, oh how I HATE you...


Can I just say how much I HATE this city for a moment... I mean I NEVER actually liked it, I just like the wonderful man here... and as soon as we CAN leave to move elsewhere, I can hardly wait already... I royally hate this place!! I woke up to snow today before having to go to work... It was actually mostly ice but whatever... On my commute to work I hit black ice like THREE times on the highway and luckily I am actually smart enough to turn my wheel into the direction of the swerve... And thanks to my lovely snow tires I saved myself from a couple wrecks by being able to stop with them when regular tires would not have helped! I also got my first cheque today at work... I had almost 3 weeks of work and did not even pull off $400!! Have I mentioned I hate this job... I liked the other store better... this store has like 2 or maybe 3 nice people at it and the rest I wanna bitchslap... and we can get so busy that I can not even enjoy my "regular customers" like the other store... And the pay is obviously horrid and I can not get the hours like I need, and he mixes up my sechdule so much that I can not really even balence it with a second job. How retarded is that?!? Just whatever is all I can say... Maybe I will apply at the post office... They have a sign out again. They will probably have 10 hours less (wait 7 hours less cos I have 3 less hours in a week now) but the pay is almost double!! I just want to get a job (even as a secretary) in like a dental office or ortho office... that would be ideal!! Oh if only this economy did not SUCK!! Wichita I hate you so!!


Well I'm still working on that JESUS WANTS TO SAVE CHRISTIANS blog cos its turning out a lot longer than I thought it would be... so sorry its taking forever and a day... I also still don't have news if I am approved for an apartment yet. I've been in such a foul mood today I gave myself a mani & then questioned my sanity since the colour is SO BRIGHT!! I kept it tho cos it went on really even and all...


Oh and I got Twitter now... You can follow me at http://twitter.com/RayeRhodesUK


I dunno what else to say... I'm gonna download some new songs to my computer And hopefully EVENTUALLY be in a better mood... and maybe work on my one blog later... its COLD outside... I love Winter & Summer, but this Spring or Autumn shit can kiss my ass!!


HAHAHA...

Just a Quick One


This is just a quick post... I am just going to say that I survived my first Monday Night (all you can eat night) at the West Store yesterday!! Lets just say I felt awful by the end of the shift because I was soooooo tired that I slept like a baby!! hahaha. I had missed church Sunday for being totally tired as well, 3 alarms couldn't wake me... So I must have been compleatly knackared... Today is my day off and I work tomorrow (I still need to find the piece of paper I wrote all my hours on... :/ I am so not organised this week... or lately for that matter.

I also applied for my apartment today!! I sohould know soon that they would say they accept my application but I probably will not move in til 1 April... I still need to get paint, furnature, a bed etc... I HAVE TO move in by the 15th of April they said and I am thinking I will probably move in sooner... I think Chad is getting sick of me... haha (not really sick of me, just sick of my lack of desire to do dishes haha)... I hope I can manage to get all my bills paid etc... but I have been getting more hours at work than Chad overall so we will see...


I finished reading Drops Like Stars by Rob Bell for my March book on Sunday... It was a super fast read... I still have to post my blog on my February book tho so I will hopefully do that well... shortly... I have the book with me to look over to help me blog on it after this. I hope it will post in the next week. I dunno how long it will take to write the blog for it... Also on Sunday I bought a few new things of clothes (at WalMart actually) I thought they looked good. I am wearing some of them in the picture... I finally actually fit into regular length trousers... I must be growing (I hope) since my short trousers that used to all hit the ground no longer do and are getting well, SHORT!! haha... Well thats all for now, (I told ya it was a quickie)...

Computer Virus, MeaslePox... Oh, Oklahoma!!


Okay It really feels like forever since I have been on here but I promise I will get better. I just spent the last 5+ hours fixing the computer with the help of my father and brother over the phone... I had a nasty virus that would not let me open the internet at ALL and we had to reverse the system and get it off... after that I had to remove the Malware & the first two scans were costly, but my bro knew of a free one we finally used & I had 257 threats the first time!! The removal did not fully work tho so I had to get another scan (taking another hour and a half) and remove the last 56 things of malware. Turns out a lot of stuff came from Zwinky (which is now gone) and the virus was Vista Guard 2010 (not a friend)... after all of that its finally gone... I still don't have a virus protection, but I think I'm okay for doing this... just cant download really anything new... But I will hopefully have it REALLY SOON :)


Aside from my computer having a virus, I also had a nasty virus just a week ago... So nasty that I got spots all over me. I went to the doctor & it was this new virus that had developed. It was not one of the known viruses like measles, mumps, rubella, or chicken pox, but it was kind of a cross between chicken pox and measles (the spots were more pox like but flat and only itched if wet)... it was as contagious as say Chicken Pox so I was not allowed to work or go to church last week. It was quite unpleasent. I had to take a pill like every 6 hours... Bahh... but the spots did go away quickly with that drug, and as much as Chad likes to say his immune system is "shit" he did manage to NOT catch the MeaslePox (what I call the sickness, it has no real name)... And Chad was DEFFINATLY exposed, he just got VERY lucky :)


Last Sunday as I was getting better Chad begged me to go to the casinos in Oklahoms so we drove an hour to Native Lights Casino (where the picture of Chad at the Slot machine was taken) and some other casino right next to it... I HATE the casino... they always smell AWFUL!! and its boring. And I drove, and due to my medicine I had to take from being sick I was not even able to have a few drinks so I was CRANKY!! I told Chad next time we go to the casino he is driving & he is buying me some damn alcohol (not to get drunk but just to take the edge off of my crankiness of being there)...


I went to the library and paid to have my newsletters printed after the address labels were recieved, so birthday cards thru March and Christmas cards were FINALLY sent... I have the April ones already ready to send off in a few weeks. Chad's B-Day is the 23rd, but I still gotta get him his gift (I'm sure with shipping time it won't be here in time, but thats his fault for waiting to tell me what he wanted til the last minute).


Other than all that just workin my ass off at the Taco place... Today was soooooo busy and I am sooooooo tired!! I had hoped the computer would have been fixed in 2 hours tops... oh well... at least its taken care of!! I ran into someone at Taco Shop today who had remembered me from when I worked at the other store... :) I still don't have an apartment or any of that so there is still a lot to do. I still have to sit down and finish (*cough* start *cough*) my March book Drops Like Stars by Rob Bell (okay I read like 17 pages so far I think...) And I hope VERY shortly to post the February Book blog (since my computer is actually better now)... And I have Tuesday off so maybe Tuesday, but no promises... I'm just so glad my health and my PC-Piece-O-Crappo's health is doing better... hahaha... (now I can download more music I wanted again, and pictures from my phone to hard-drive etc). Okay, well I hope to update later this week, so keep looking for updates...

Just Call Me Taco Girl!!


I got a job on Friday!! Ya know how I used to work at Taco Shop before? Well I work for Taco Shop again (only this time on the West side of the city at Central & West St.) Its not exactly what I was looking for, but it will help me survive at least. I am supposed to start at like 20 hours a week and move up to about 50 hours a week. I also know how much I owe my old school to pay off my bill on that before I dropped out so I should have everything paid off shortly. I contacted Vista Print & they are going to send me new labels for free & refunded me my shipping from before. So hopefully will have those by Monday to send out my Christmas & Brithday cards that are superrrrr late by now. I also fixed my printer but it broke again so I need to fix it again to print my newsletters for my Christmas cards... I hope for success SOONNNNNN.... :/


I still have not gotten my February book blog posted but will try to whenever I can. Things have been busy & will continue to be busy. I finished the book like 15 Feb tho so I will review it for ya'll when I can (internet is pretty crappy). as well as my Drops Like Stars by Rob Bell as my March Book. Chad's Birthday is this month... and I should hopefully be getting my own place somewhat soon. Work starts at 9:30AM tomorrow... so much to do in so little time... What a migrane... BAH...
