I am absolutely loving the weather today!  I got done with work at 2:30 and did some laundry, dishes, and got out my spring/summer clothes and put almost all my sweaters away.  I've got windows open and life is good.

I can't believe Easter is this weekend already.  Ben possibly has to work, and we are supposed to be going to his grandma's house for food and the usual card games.  After we are done eating we are also having a little baby shower for his cousin who is due the first week of June. 
This makes me laugh everytime:

Found out today that the people who live below us are moving out July 1st!!!  So excited. Hopefully we will get some people who are sane.  The ones now are noisy, and have enough stuff in their apartment and garage to fill a house.  The husband and wife fight all hours of the night, and seem to be constantly pounding things into their walls.  Their kid is kind of bizarre, I've been speculating that he might have autism or something.  They are pretty much white trash, smokers who shouldn't be staying in an apartment building as nice as this one. Glad I don't have to clean their apartment when they move out!

Ben bought an Xbox 360 finally.  It came with some racing game and Halo 3 ODST.  He also got Grand Theft Auto IV? I can't remember which one.  He gets a free month of Xbox Live so he and my brother have been playing together on there.  Now I just have to get Halo 1, 2, and 3 so I can play to my heart's content.  I love those games.

I think I might go sit outside for a bit.

Work is fun!

It has been kind of nice this week.  It was my first official week back at the hotel, and I only worked four out of seven days.  I've had lots of free time again which felt weird.  I managed to get groceries done, cleaned our very disgusting bathroom, and helped my grandma move into her new house.

But it also sucks because I'm not making any money again.  My paychecks are taking a huge cut.  The temp agency that got me the bank job is looking for something else for me, but who knows when they'll find something.  I can get back into subbing again but so far there hasn't been any listings. 

Ben has been working his new job.  He seems to like it and according to his bosses, he's doing awesome at it.  The only thing that sucks about it is his being on-call.  He's been getting phone calls between 4 and 6 o'clock in the morning because there's an 11-7 shift that is incompetent.

We are going to go see How To Train Your Dragon today because it looks cute.

Then I don't know what we are doing the rest of the day since Ben is done with work at noon and I'm off.  Ideas?

Updates are fun

Tomorrow is my last day at my full time job.  Even though it wasn't anything fancy, I am sad to be done.  It was good money while Ben wasn't working and I met some pretty cool people.  The bank I was working for was very nice and would give us little treats now and then.  Today we had a pizza party from Dominoes to celebrate being done.  Sigh.  Back to the hotel for me now.

Ben had an interview with NewPage, the local paper mill this week.  He felt disappointed after leaving, and they told him 2-3 weeks and he "might" hear something.  So fingers crossed until then.  It would be $19.50 an hour starting!  Do you know how awesome that would be for us?  Makes me want to run around screaming just thinking about it.

I have a cold.  It sucks.  Started as a sore throat but has now moved to my face.  I have been drinking gallons of water and peeing constantly.  Doesn't that sound fun?

I'm getting my hair permed on Saturday.  I'm going to a different salon than last time so we'll see how it turns out.  Saturday is also my Grandma's 76th birthday and we are taking her out to eat to celebrate.  She doesn't want or need "stuff" so that is her gift from us.

Our St. Patty's day was a bust.  We didn't do a damn thing.  Ben wasn't in the mood to go out since he got home from work late, my dad who normally would have been the first at the bar was gone bowling, and I started my cold.  So nothing happened.  Woo.

Damn it I have to pee again.

I am content

:-) It has been a long time but for once all is right with my world.  Here are 5 reasons why:

1. Ben and I are both working. 
2. We recently saw our wonderful Racine friends.
3.  I am now the proud owner (and user) of Wii Fit Plus.
4.  The weather is getting warmer despite the rain today.
5.  Tomorrow work is having a pot luck/done with the job party meaning lots of yummy, free food.

:-)

I hope I didn't just jinx myself.

"I'm not Josie Grossie anymore!"

Today was a good day.

OH! OH! OH! Ben got a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  He starts on Tuesday.  Incredibly happy right now.

I got to leave work a half hour early at 4:00 but got paid like I was there until 4:30. 

I am loving this weather.  It just needs to stick around and keep getting warmer.

This sun is adorable.

Now off to make brownies.

"Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure imagination."

Tomorrow is my last day in this stretch of work.  12 out of 13 days down.  The bad news?  I'm going to have another 12 day stretch of work starting Monday.  Yay with a side of sarcasm.

Ben has a second interview tomorrow.  We are trying not to put too much hope on it.

I'M GOING TO SEE MY AWESOME FRIENDS IN TWO DAYS!!!!!!!!!! Just a little excited.

On a side note, I chopped my hair off yesterday.  It was below my shoulders and driving me crazy.

I think I'm going to start putting a movie quote on here to end my posts.  If you know what it is from, kudos to you!
