Justin started his new job today, and he seemed to really like it.  He said it was pretty slow, but unlike his previous job he actually gets paid a full 8 hours even if there isn't 8 hours of work, and gets paid more!  Can't beat that!  The only bad thing is he now gets paid on the 10th and 25th (same as me) but won't get his first check until the ( Read more... )

We finally gave in and bought a new computer last night.  The old one had been reformatted about 5 times, and kept having the same problems.  So, I made the mistake of taking two of the most technology obsessed men in my life to Best Buy.  The result was walking into the store, finding the computer we want within 5 minutes then spending the next 2 ( Read more... )

My brother is a sweetheart and downloads Lost (and Desperate Housewives) for me and puts it onto a DVD so I can watch them all sequentially when the season is over. I've been slacking on watching the 2nd season, but I watched like 6 episodes in a row last night; I was a useless lump on the couch for the ENTIRE evening. I did some dishes, washed a ( Read more... )

I’m such a proud wife right now: Justin finally got a new job and it was the first (and best) one he applied for.  Right now he is a mechanic at a GMC dealership that treats him like garbage.  He basically works on commission, where he is given certain jobs that pay certain amounts depending on how difficult/time consuming they are.  He’s basically ( Read more... )

So it’s been in the news lately that President Bush has approved the reactivation of Marines from the inactive reserves for 12-18 month deployments to the Middle East.  Justin just started his third year of inactive reserves (he got credit for a year served while we were seniors in high school) so of course there is now a danger of him being ( Read more... )

Justin is at his brother's company picnic all day today and I'm stuck here with no car and nothing interesting within walking distance.  I'm so bored that I might have to resort to cleaning to keep myself from going crazy!

I decided to cut my hair short again last week.  I love the *idea* of having long hair, but don't have the patience to wait ( Read more... )

I forgot to actually post the last entry when I made it, so sorry for the updates only a few minutes apart ( Read more... )

We moved into a new apartment about three weeks ago, and now finally (after many frustrating hours of trying to install it) we have internet so I can check LiveJournal again. We don’t have cable, so my evenings have consisted of pool tournaments and watching Justin play video games for far too long! At least with the internet I can kill an hour or ( Read more... )

Seriously, how can a 3-day week seem longer than a normal week?!!?  I'm so freaking glad it's the weekend, I need a break!  Unfortunately, Justin has to work tomorrow which ruins my Saturday too since I just sit around being bored, telling myself I should be cleaning.  I might head up to my parent's house for the weekend, and have Justin join me on ( Read more... )

Sometimes I really hate LiveJournal!!!  I always manage to write out a huge entry then delete it by pressing some random button.  I knew I should have saved it once it got past a certain length!  Then it autosaved my blank page so I couldn't get back to the long entry that I had....oh well, what can you do?

ANYWAY, we had a great 4th of July.  We've ( Read more... )
