so last weekend Justin had a softball tournament in avon, indiana. in between games i went shopping at Target and picked up a few things. we don't have a target anywhere close to us here. you can either drive to up to plainfield which is a good hour drive or you can drive south to evansville which is a good hour and a half drive. and perhaps its a good thing that we don't have a target. :o) i tend to go crazy in there...this time i knew i was on a budget considering i have no job and i only had about an hour to shop since i had to get back to the ball diamond. i did pick up this awesome snoopy tote. i absolutely LOVE it! it was the only one left so it was obviously meant to be. i've been a huge snoopy fanatic since the age of 1. hehe my aunt shellie jo (who i got my middle name from) was a huge fan of snoopy so i was introduced to him and the "peanuts gang" at an early age. I actually have a "snoopy" room here at our house. I sold alot of stuff that i had due to having TOO MUCH...but i still have a huge curio cabinet filled of snoopy and peanut memorabilia. i love the fact that snoopy is "going green."

i also looked thru the clothes section there real fast because i was hoping to find some old vintage feel shirts... i love wearing them until i can't wear them anymore and then i have been saving them and i want to make a scarf or pillow or something out of them. anyways..so as i was looking thru the clothing i found this awesome zip up hoodie. i love the colors and of course the design on the back. you can never have too many zip up hoodies...always nice to have one to throw on when it gets a little nipply out. :o) i also bought bella a green dog collar that was in the $1.00 section.

so i finally took some pics of my new tattoos that i got. they aren't real clear because they were only like 2 or 3 days old in the picture and they're still healing. but atleast you get an idea of what they look like. i want to make it a tradition to get a tattoo on every birthday...but i'd rather have them sooner. hehe we'll see how that goes...jc says he'll divorce me if i get anymore..haha but i doubt it.

so my first week of having no job hasn't really been that bad. my aunt who lives behind my grandma's house has been out of town all week and will be out of town next week. they have a really nice inground pool... so all week i've been going over there with my aunt shellie and laying out in the pool and just relaxing.. it's really quite nice.. i plan on doing that all week next week too. but then next friday they'll be back...so then i'll have to find something to do everyday....

i really want to get back in the habit of working on my webpage. i really got into it and worked on it like 5 or 6 hours a day when i first bought it..but then i had wedding stuff i had to work on so i pushed it to the side...and now i'm having a hard time get motivated to work on it.. so that's my next goal...because i figured if i worked on it from the time i got up until jc got home from work...that's about 5 or 6 hours...and if i do that monday - friday that outta get me back on track.

today is friday but to me it almost feels like sunday or saturday or something...by not working my days are getting all confused.. i'd like to try and find something to do like twice a week to make some money...of course i'd have to get paid cash so that unemployment doesn't know about it.. really the only thing that i could think of is babysitt or clean houses...and i don't like either one..haha so much for that idea.

i found out that i'm getting paid only $60 less a week then i got paid working...and i lived 20 miles away from work...so everyday i was driving 40 miles.. 20 there, 20 back.. well..i get 20 miles to a gallon so i was filling up about twice a week....so i was spending around $60 a week on gas...sometimes less depending on if i worked out both clinics in a day.. if that was the case i'd drive 80 miles a day.. ao anyways..since i'm not paying that much in gas anymore it's actually gonna work out i think. i haven't got my first payment yet. i think the first week they don't pay you...so i shouldn't get a payment for like another week or something..i'm not really sure.. but i mean i went from driving 40 miles a day..to either driving none at all...or if i run somewhere around town or something i may drive like 5. so i think that even thought i'm getting paid a little less that i would working i'm saving SO MUCH MONEY by not having to drive all that way everyday...i'm really excited to get my first payment so i can kinda get a feel for my new budget...i want to get it and figure out my exact budget on how much i'm gonna need to get by...and pay bills and such...

so anyways..this weekend jc's playing in a softball tournament this weekend...it starts tonight and all day tomorrow... so that'll be something to do this weekend.. and then i think sunday if the weather is warm were gonna try and swim all day. okay well i'm gonna get some laundry and dishes done and i'm off to lay out in the pool...

oh...i was just watching the olympic good morning america coverage or whatever it is on NBC...and they were showing clips of the usa olympic basketball team at the water cube watching phelps swim.. all the players are like watching down where the pool is and kobe is talking to some girl who just has like bathing suit bottoms on and she's kinda bent over like her head is towards his lap. LOL then when it shows another picture it shows her standing up in front of him and him talking to her with a HUGE smile on his face. LOL it just looks a little strange considering his history and all ya know.. and then when the pics were over they went back to al and meredith and them she was like "did anybody pay close attention to that picture???" and they other people were like "what???" i mean i didn't really notice it either until she pointed it out.. i was looking at all the players not just kobe..and then she was like "oh i'm sure the audience at home saw it" i wonder if she's gonna get in trouble for saying anything or if she's gonna have to apologize for saying anything...haha that's funny though..she called him right out.. HAHA..

okay..i'm really off to get some stuff done...and i'm starving....

PEACE
