Saturday

Yesterday I had Rebekah, Jason and Bob over for dinner. I made taco's and burrito's with the fixings. Rebekah brought chips and cheese dip for snacking. We played Clue and had a good time. After they left last night I cleaned up the kitchen and went to bed. I was pretty tired.
This week has been pretty good for me. I put new shocks on the back of my truck. When you talk about shocks the name that most people know is Monroe. What most don't know is that Gabirel was actually the first company to design the "Sensor-trac" model but they called it "VST." Gabriel then sold the patent to Monroe who then perfected it and placed it on their models. Years later Gabriel came up with the same idea and incorporated it into their line of shocks and struts. AutoZone sells Gabriel which I think are a good product. I purchased the mid top of the line shocks for my truck. Now off to Angel Food and work

Today I had the day off from work so I cleaned my apartment in preparation for having Rebekah and compay for dinner tomorrow. Before to long I need to go to Walmart and pick up the rest of the foods for dinner. I didn't do alot today but stayed indoors. It was a nice relaxing time to myself.
My new DVD-RW drive did came in the mail so I installed it and it's working great. I would like to get a faster processor than what I have but that will cost some money that I need to save up for. I am sold on AMD Athlon processors. They have served me and my friends well over the years. Untill next time

Mom's 54

Well this week has been pretty interesting. Yesterday was mom's 54th birthday. Us kids ordered pizza for dinner and a massage from Tiffani. It was a good time and mom enjoyed it much. This week at work has been rather interesting due to my store manager has been in the hospital. Unfortunely we don't know the extenct of why he is in the hospital. The DM is keeping a tight lid on whats happening. The rumor going around is that he had a stroke last week and is being released today. So the store is picking up the slack and I will be having some OT this week which will help alot.
Friday I am having new shocks put on the back of my truck. I also purchased a new Sony DVD-RW drive for my computer. I hate that the dumb drive sticks and doesn't open all the time.
Next week is Thanksgiving and I am looking forward to the get together with the Family and the Dallas game. Should be fun.

It's been a long time......

Well I know that it has been so long since I have blogged about anything. My last post was back in September. That is partly due to me not having Internet at my apartment. Now that I am back online I will be able to post new blogs more often. I am going to make a goal to post a few times a week if not more often.
So what has happened to me since September; I have been looking for a new full time job somewhere. I did have a part time job at Kelly Elementary but I had to quit for job conflict reasons. In order for my budget to work in my favor I need two jobs. I believe that I can make it with just one but it's a challenge.
I got the Internet back in my apartment last week so I can now keep in touch with people. I'm having Rebekah and company next week for dinner and games. I am going to make taco's and burritos with chips and salsa. Should be a good evening.
My parents got a new animal that they are taking care of. Her name is Lydia. She is a stray that was found by Uncle Jay's house wondering around. Mom took her in and spend some money at the vet getting her checked out. She has some kind of a bacteria infection on her skin and her front teeth are broken. She does not have heartworms or mange. Those were going to be the kicker for keeping her. She did treat her for hookworms and the bacteria infection is being treated with medicated shampoo twice a week. There is a dog wash in town that we have been taking her to. It's a lot easier than bleaching the tub and getting her in there. I had no idea that there was such a thing.
Nothing new to report in the woman area of my life. I tried to get a date with someone named Tina but that didn't happen. Kinda sucks to but it happens.
This evening we had dinner over at Kevin's house. Veggie soup, Chile, crackers and muffins. It was filling and delicious.

Rain, rain and more

Today I was greeted by a line of thunderstorms that decided to drown Wichita today in 10 inches of rain. Not only did I half to go to work but I was the go getter in assisting with wiper blade installations and I went and got us lunch for the store as well. So I had to DRIVE down West St. that floods so bad to get lunch. in a Ford Ranger that chug down the street. In addition since there was alot of slow periods they were spend looking out the windows and watching the cars speed by and betting on which ones were going to flood out. There were two cars that I wondered what was going to happen to them. One was a black Honda Civic that tore down the street going about 30 MPH and creating a tidal wave. The second was a small red car that was punching through the water when a 4x4 Chevy came through the water and made a tidal wave that engulfed the car in a wall of water. He wasn't stopping and was very inconsiderate of the small car that was making it. Needless to say I only saw about 4 cars that got stalled in the river that was being made before us.
Since my last post I determined that I do not have TB and that I am physically able to clean classrooms at Kelly Elementary. Last week I had to take a physical agility test. That was on Thursday. Friday I woke up to the lower half of my body aching like nothing else. I was in pain for about 4 days. Samantha said it was due to my muscles not being worked enough. She also seemed to think that is was pretty funny. Ha ha ha. Speaking of Samantha she is working at the Wal-Mart in Garden City as a cashier to help with her income as well. She likes the job. It's low stress on her which is good. This with the Mosaic job is helping her pay off the debt.
Well this is all for now. Good luck to you all

Gone so long

I know that it has been quite awile since my last post so I will update you on what is going on with my life.

I transfered back to the AutoZone on West St. a few weeks ago. Now that I am working with Arlan and his crew I am glad to be back where I am appreciated and not treated like a work horse. It is a more relaxed enviromnent and I like the people that I work with. I also am starting a second job with USD 259 as a part time custodian in the evening time. I'll be working at Kelly Elementry cleaning part of the school. An extra 25 hours a week to help with bills. The downside is that my social callendar is going to be very little now. I feel that if I can pay off my debt and save money like I should have been doing a long time ago then I will be doing fine just fine.
This week was the annual labor day Plank gathering at Kevins. What a time we had with the croquet game, stadium checkers, banagrams and the weenie roast. It was nice of Bob and Jason to join us as well. I missed mom fishing but I am sure that there will be other chances.
I have spoken with Samantha a few times this week. She meet a friend named Eric and have been spending quite a fair amount of time together. I don't know that much about him but I know that she is pretty smart and knows when a guy is good. I wish them the best of luck

Phew!

For those of you who gracefully stop by my blog to see that nothing new has been posted, I am sorry. It has been rough these past few days for me due to some interesting things. But all is better somewhat. Lets see where to begin....

Rebekah has painted her kitchen in some new colors. It was badly in need of it and now it is all pretty. There is a cream and red color that gracefully match together in harmony. I also put up some door trim around the front door. The house is looking better all the time. Now if we can do something about the lawn then we will be doing fine just fine.
I went out to dinner with the family last Friday. We went to Jimmie's diner over on Rock Road. Good place to eat some breakfast and the only
restaurant that I know of in Wichita that serves mush. Oh the days of my mom in the kitchen frying up some mush.
Yesterday I went and played Lunar mini golf in Town West Mall with Rebekah, Jason, Daniel, Michael and Tiffani. It was a blast. We all had a good time.
For some job news I transfered Stores in AutoZone. I will be going back to the West St. location. It will be a good change for me. Daniel Still hasn't had much luck in his quest for a job but I hope that he gets one soon.
