Another Week in Paradise...

Thank you all for reading! I've loved hearing that people are keeping up with these. Reminds me that I am loved. A special "shout out" to Som, my professional friend in Thailand. She's the best. She called the other night to check in on me, and I missed it! I don't have a phone card, so wasn't able to return her overseas call. :( I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU SOM!

This week I finally got my gaming liscense! I got fitted for my uniform, and start orientation on Monday! I went for a walk to get my mail one night (community mailboxes) and met a neighbor. I have a babysitting gig for Sunday. Then one of the catering companies called and I am working a wedding on Saturday. That means I get to work Saturday through Tuesday for PAY! :) YEY.

My mom is in Michigan for the weekend- makes me jealous that I'm not home to go and visit with her! She's off visiting grandpa.

Derrik had an interesting baby day today. :) While changing him this evening, he peed on me. In all my babysitting days, I've never had a baby pee on me- only just heard about it. First time for everything! And aparently this morning, he had an incident with Katie! He was playing in the room with no diaper on, to get some air. At one point he stands up on the bed and starts to act like he's giving her kisses. She leans over to get one, and notices somethign on his mouth. She does the "mom mouth swipe" and pull out something brown. She looks over to see what it was, he'd pooped, ate it, and then kissed her. EWW. lol. She'll want me to note the obvious that she's a great mom. He was just getting some air and playing, normal kid stuff. Who would have thunk! :) LOL. Sure you other mom's reading have similar stories!

Other than that just been trying to enjoy the pool, the sun, and applying for some jobs. Well, GETTING some jobs! Katie is deserting me this weekend for Vegas, leaving me all alone at the house for 2 and a half days. luckily I work for some of that time, and have tons of errands to complete tomorrow. I still think I'll be a little lonely, but hopefully will kinda ways to keep myself occupied. Movie nights and some work in my room.

I had one bad day this week, but mom and friends listened to me complain and encouraged me, so felt much better. I miss some home things, but I'll go and visit soon when I go to get all my stuff. And in the meantime, I'll get set up here and make new friends and find things to do!

Classes start in like 3 weeks. Can you believe summer is already over? Where DID it go??? Suppose I did spend the ENTIRE summer on this whole relocation thing. Guess it was a good thing that I gave myself the summer off from classes to do it. Just wish I hadn't had to give myself a month off of work. Suppose it could have been MUCH MUCH worse. And things are heading up again. Work, registering for classes tomorrow, getting a cali bank account, and all that fun stuff!

OH- I got my Cali drivers liscense! It's ugly and a bad photo, but I'M A CALI RESIDENT! YEY!

And, the name of the princess is between Kiri and Kimba. I'm not sold on either for some reason. We like K/C names because we've got Caitlin and Katie... Votes are for Kimba so far. Please send on votes or other ideas! :)

So, again, come and visit. I need some hugs!
