Busy busy.....

Saturday... was in fact better than Friday. haha. Brent worked all day so I went to Hanover to hang out with the family. I basically went to the pool all day with my mom and the kids. Then we hung out with Maren for a bit, then we went back to Gettysburg to hang out with Brent and all went to Subway. Which was fun....

Sunday- We all went to Cascade Lake and swam our butts off. Had a ton of fun swimming and hanging out all day... Nice to get some tan back, me and Brent feel especially white after our Florida days. haha. Then we came back to my moms house and had dinner with everyone and the grandparents. Then we headed home.

Today- Brent went to a chiropractor all day with his parents for all his back issues. He hung out there pretty much all day. I was at work all day then I went to get my college books and spent 650 dollars!!! AHHH! Then had dinner at Brents house, his mom made a veggie dish. Then went to my house for a bit, then home and the grandparents visited.... busy day.

Anywho, thats life.

Stupid Bad Day

So I guess I will post about my terrible horrible yesterday, since I am avoiding cleaning my house haha.

1. First I showed up in Hanover to go to yard sales with my Mamaw, and had pretty much no luck at all with anything, all I really found was a paper towel holder. I liked hanging out with her, but the yard sales were all just junk, and I love yard sales so I was a little disappointed.

2. I go to there house to try to hook up my laptop to there Ethernet cord and it just won't pick up signal for the internet. Since me and Brent had an extra laptop I was going to let them use it since there computer is really slow. But it wouldn't work, so that crashed my plan completely.

3. On the way back to Gettysburg I followed a dump truck going 15 miles under the speed limit.

4. I checked my bank account because I wanted to go to the beach this weekend and realized I am in the negative, so I have 3 overdraft charges coming my way. I borrow money from my Grandma to try and put me over, but her receipt of deposit dated for Monday, so I am once again in the negative.

5. I then run out the door to go to work and get in the car to realize my keys aren't in my purse but in the house, THE LOCKED HOUSE. So Brent has to run, literally run home from work to unlock the door for me. He works like 6 blocks away and we share a car, so yeah.

6. I am late to work and get written up for being late to work. I had to fill out forms, for clocking in 8 minutes past my time. Then I got in trouble for wearing a necklace in the kitchen, by somebody who in fact had a necklace on. So, I spent about 1/2 my day in tears there. And I was behind schedule so the residents were bitchy with me, because there coffee was 5 minutes late. I HATE MY JOB!!!!!!!!!!

7. Then I go outside @ 8:00 because I am off, and Brent is 10 minutes late picking me up, which on any other day is not a big deal at all. But yesterday, it made me cry for the tenth time.

8. I get home and decide I am going to apply for this job at the hospital for a lab assistant, and I get completely done after working on it for 30 minutes and pressed cancel in stead of submit so it just went away and saved nothing.


.... so i cried and went to bed.

I need to have a good day today.

Catch up take 2.

Obviously I am a horrible blogger since I never update.... ever. But here it goes.

1. Sam is home!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .... I will lay it down for you.
-We all went rafting at Little Gun Powder.
-We got lost in Maryland for the millionth time. ha.
-We went to the Towson Mall.
-We went to the Outlets.
-We went to King of Prussia.
-WE SAW BLINK 182 IN CONCERT!!!!!!!!!

... So basically Brent and I have been having fun with miss sam. But she goes back to school on September 6th, so that is a sad little day.

2. Ironically, Brent is not working at Pizza Hut or Arbys. But instead got a muchhh better paying job at J's at the Village, in downtown Gettysburg. He works as a Prep Cook... and he says he really likes it. He also just bought his college books for this coming semester and spent more than $500 dollars... CRAZY! (especially since they were used books, and he didn't buy the optional books) But we knew it was coming. He has been going on weekend biking trips with his friends Brad and Brice, and having fun. He also is getting his fill of fiction reading, since he knows when school comes around it will be only the non-fun reading. haha. But he is good. He starts school the 31st of August.

3. I have been working at the Lutheran Home now for like 4 weeks, and am done all my training. Sadly enough, I really hate it there. I don't know any of the residents, they aren't really friendly, and I spend 7 hours a day behind a dish machine. It is nothing like the same job I used to work at the Hanover Lutheran Home. Which is gay, but for now, its a job. I just wish I did something more meaningful, because doing this crap that I have to do just makes you feel a bit like your going nowhere. I know I am in school full time, but when you sweat for 7 hours a day in a 4x4 dishroom, doing tasks that mean nothing, its hard to remember where you are headed.

4. I am still a vegetarian! Woooo to me. I have found a lot of great alternatives to meat. The brand my mamaw introduced me to is called Boca Burgers, and they have some fantastic veggie burgers. I also found the brand Veggie Patch that makes soy chicken patties and nuggets, and they taste great. So life is good there.

5. We are adopting another kitty soon. Reason being that we will both be in school allll day long and then go to work at night so its not fair to have an animal you can't spend time with. She needs a friend, so we are going to get a neutered male kitten. Neutered because we don't want marking, male because the vet i used to work for said that males and females mesh better, kitten because i dont want our cat to feel threatened by an older dominate cat. So thats the deal there.

6. When Brandon was in town he won me a carnival gold FISH! We all know I love the animals, so we now have a fish that we have to keep at high places away from our cat, but none the less it is happy, and still alive after a week so far. His name is Nemo, and he has a white stripe.



Wellll I think thats it.
Love, leah and brent.
