And since my mom says I am photogenic...

There! Told you so... I am not. I just like taking pictures of myself alot. I am joking, really. I actually don't know why I am putting this picture on the internet. What I was thinking while taking it is, "Amy, show how you feel when you get home from work."

So, now I am going to go to bed before I post more embarassing pictures of myself.

Ok, well, I think that I will just post a picture in rememberance of my long hair, oh how I miss you...

And now a picture of long hair that I do not miss.... Thank you for cutting your hair Brian. Here is my favorite picture of Brian and Potter. Ok, I am really going to go to bed now. I apoligize for this worthless post.

Ding DIng...

I love the office. I've missed the office.

Anyways... I am liking my job and I think that I am pretty good at it. I guess I will find out at my first review how I really am. My days go pretty fast but sometimes listening to people tell me all about their financial situation makes me feel like screaming. Not at them (well sometimes at them, if they are jerks), just at the injustice.

In other news, all of a sudden Bri and I realized that our lease is up in a month and we have no where to move. We looked at a house on Tuesday. It was the smallest place I have ever been it. It was listed as a two bedroom. The first floor bedroom was the size of our current bathroom (which is teeny tiny), and "master" bedroom was in the basement which is not finished and has exposed ceilings. It had a tiny stove and normal fridge which couldn't even open all the way. In other words, we are not moving there.

Where we are moving is a house on Farmer's street right downtown Plymouth. It is around 1,400 sq ft., and has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 car garage, a fenced yard, fireplace, lawn service, and deck. There is a hair salon on the front and the owner is very nice. We are so excited! I will post pictures as soon as I take some.

Well, about time for bed. I would say this early job thing is turning my life upside down. Goodnight!

A new bedtime...

Am I really going to bed at 9:45? Affirmative.

Anyone who knows me well would probably assume I have a strange sickness but really work is just super draining. I know that once I learn everything I need to know it will be a piece of cake... but right now. My ears/cheeks get red and my heart beats fast everytime I hear the phone ring and I have to answer it and talk to people about things I can barely wrap my head around. Ai Ai Ai! I will survive. Really it isn't bad and I have someone mentoring me to make sure I am ok. Plus, we have a pizza party tommorrow. And anyone who knows me... knows that I could probably eat pizza for every meal.

Brian has another interview at Ann Arbor Library! Please pray for his interview on Monday and please pray that I get the hang of things at work (and not stress out so much).

Whoa, it is getting late. I have to go to bed now.

Tuesday...Tuesday...

My mind feels like mush. I have learned so much about bankruptcy, credit counseling, credit ratings, etc. I think that I really like it? But I will probably get tired of sitting and answering phones. Potter does NOT like me working. She gets so sad in the morning when I wake up the same time as Brian. She follows us around and sits in the bathroom with me when I do my makeup/hair. One thing that I do not like about my job is driving on 275. It is so slow and what should take me 15-20 min, takes me 30-45...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREA! HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY WORLD!

I guess there is nothing too happy about it being April Fools Day. (Besides that I won oreos at work, who doesn't like oreos?)

Longest day ever...

That's a picture of me before my first day at my new job! I got this card in the mail with a bunch of signatures in it. I was super nervous and didn't sleep well last night, the way I usually get before starting something new.
YIKES! But, it went well. I did end up talking to some people and making some friends. I also think that I will really like my job and be good at it. We listened to a recording of what we will be doing and I think that I can do tons better than the person in the recording. Not to sound conceited, but I think that my work in customer service has completely prepared me for this. It is nice to start a job where I get training and a job where I can wear... JEANS! and tennis shoes and hopefully flip flops. Oh my! Plus I like that I am learning alot about credit scores and budgeting. I have always had an interest in this. I am constantly making and remaking budgets for Bri and I. Speaking of Bri, he is back with our celebritory Taco Bell.

Later, dear readers.

I will post more when I know more.

Countdown...

Three days and counting until the new job. My attitude has turned from total excitement to somewhat fear and loathing? I am worried that my last non-profit experience will be the same as my new one. I have to keep reminding myself that I have already met my supervisor and she seems very nice (and also wears cute clothes/jewelry... I am not sure how this applies). I will also have so much less time to read books, watch movies, cuddle Potter, etc.

LOST was not on this week. I am sad.

Have I ever told you how much I love greek salads??? Number one, I love feta, number two, i love olives, number 3, i love greek salads. Speaking of greek salads, I love food in general. It is kind of a problem.

Brian had a review at work today... and he did so well. I am so proud of him. And since I've been tagged by Mandi...

Here are the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. Hmmm, this is bad that I am already struggling to come up with ideas. I hurt my back. This has caused me to walk like my father. And wince when I bend over, sit down... and it was caused by a fall. I felt like Erin. I fell down, not on the ice but on a slightly uneven sidewalk. I blame it on Potter, because I was walking her, but really it was caused by the non lifting of my feet when I walk. I should probably go to the doctor...

2. I used to eat box elder bugs. Apparently they were found in my diaper.

3. I have an obsessive personality. If I am in the middle of a book, I can't sleep until I finish it. If I am into making jewelry, it is all that I do. If I am eating, I eat it all. If I am wanting to buy a house, I look at houses all day long on the internet and read books on how to buy a house. I think that you get the idea. It is both a good thing and a bad thing.

4. I played with Barbies, my dollhouse, and my American girl dolls until I was really old. That is totally embarassing. I guess it shows that I am a little creative, freakish and really good at playing with dolls. When I got older I would just make them clothes/furniture and braid my dolls hair.

5. I want to write and illustrate a children's book. I am not sure to go about doing it though. Any ideas?

6. Most nights, I can't sleep. It is not just because Brian snores. It is not because of caffeine. It is because... I don't know what. I should probably go to the doctor about this too. Whenever I think about going to the doctor, I sleep just fine. The fates are against me. I think that I have always not slept well. It is why i like naps so much. That is what I tell myself.

7. Ok, I know this one is kind of lame, but my brain is slow due to number 6... I was just thinking of a weird night my freshmen year. Libby and I wanted Amelie with the subtitles off while coloring (with permanent markers) a pair of white velcro shoes. Isn't that bizarre?

I tag... the skenes, patrick, rachel, erin, brian, amanda, and alisha.

It is snowing. Doesn't the weather know that it is March 28th? It is snowing alot of snow. I hope Brian has a snow day tomorrow. Tomorrow is my last day of freedom. I just read over this entry and realized that it is completely random and it shows me that I should go to bed. So... Goodnight.
(I probably miss you, if you want, you can come visit.)

I am terrified (of i am legend)...

Bri and I are cuddling on the couch with Potter watching I Am Legend. It is scary and I think that I am getting whimpier. Well, maybe not whimpier because I remember when I watched The Shining with my dad and had to follow him around the house afterwards. Part of the problem is that I am still childishly afraid of the dark. The kind of scared that has me walking backwards to see if anyone is there...

Anyways... We had a very relaxing day. I was supposed to work until 7, but because it was slow and I opened 3 Old Navy cards, they let me go early. I got home a little after 2, napped, ate leftover stuffed shells and watched movies. It was a good remedy from last night because I was feeling down, homesick and friendless.

AHHH! I have to go hide my eyes behind my hands...

I will post a better and more enlightened post soon. I promise.

I don't know if she reads this, but... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TESS!
