santa or security?

yes thats right tonight going through the front gate the wonderful security guard was there protecting us even on christmas night... wearing a camo santa hat!
i only wish i had been driving and could have asked to take a picture of him with my new pink camera!!

anyways i hope everyone had a very merry christmas. i know the crawmers and kelsos sure did! and if i do say so myself ashley and i made a VERY good christmas dinner!! yummmy

luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity

thats what my fortune cookie said tonight.

and no you did not read that the wrong way, we did indeed go to super buffet aka "super funkay" for our christmas eve dinner!

at least the kids loved it. even with all the fighting yelling and screaming!

but before that we went to the christmas eve service at Calvary Chapel Hanford

thanks to noah aka super guy he used his super powers to get us there on time. he is so cute. i have never in my life seen a kid be SO into super heros! he really does love them!

putting out our milk and cookies for santa!
(i hope super buffet does not mind we took a few cookies with us...)

jamie and i thought it would be a good idea to leave a note on the door just in case he didnt know what room to visit.
tonight the kids will sleep over in my parents and brians room so that santa will come to our room, what a shame i will be forced to sleep all alone tonight... :)
not that i wont miss the kids though!

merry christmas everyone!

NEW YORK CITY

i wanna go!

today we're going crazy...

some good news is that someone FINALLY is renting THAT house! yeah yeah! from what they claim she will move in on the 1st! {excitement}

oh the bad side, donovan amandas baby is being transfered to childrens hospital in medera cali he cant really breath and they dont know what or whats going on. so im asking everyone PLEASE pray for him.

and im sorry to everyone that i have not really spent much time with lately im just so busy right now with work and all. but i promise that soon i will not be so busy all the time :(

oh and we get our house on the 5th if i have not already mentioned that...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Christmas Tree Lane

what an adventure...!

turkey!

wow is it time for bed?!
i think i could sleep all day tomorrow. i had a busy day. i went to the kelso's then straight to work... where we will just say not everyone was in the best of moods. i still had a good time because i can either let other people get to me or i can just say who cares and do what i need to do! so thats how i roll. but whats so sad is i was SO looking forward to having turkey for dinner, like i seriously love the turkey we make. is bomb. and im not normally a fan of turkey either. but do you wanna know what happened?
well tonight we had two VERY large parties going on. every employee was working, i for one was at the catering center. so after working for hours and hours we got everything almost fully done and then the manager decides that it was the time that me and one other surver would leave and go help at naps. so i was like ok thats cool (i had more then willingly said i would leave) anyways as we leave all them sit down to eat said turkey and other foods from the night. me and the other surver walk over to the boq to get my car and go to naps and help them and then i assumed that we would eat our dinner there and have a break. well. i was very wrong. i got there and they had already eaten AND it was all thrown away too.
needless to say we were two very unhappy servers.
we ended up getting pizza and it was not that bad of a night, we got every thing all done and clocked out at 1:30am.

i just cant stop thinking about how good that turkey would have been though...

anyways im heading to bed! working again tomorrow.
and i think im one of the few people that can always leave at night and say i love my job, even with all that craziness! :)

December 18 2004

Happy Anniversary Kelso's!!!

Four Years Later <3

car repairs?

why do i bother getting car repairs?

i just spent over $400 getting my car fixed. which is not fun at all. i have been doing christmas shopping and all plus im finally making money again and really need to be saving.

but the thing is i would not be so upset over this HUGE payment except that NOTHING WAS FIXED! yes you heard me nothing!

it still does this "slow down wont drive thing"

its STILL thumping or something like that sometimes when i use my breaks.

AND i dont think my oil was even changed.

so i ask myself, where in the heck did this money go?!

why is it that i feel like for every dollar i earn i end up spending twice as much?

and i have people always telling me what im doing with MY life is not good enough, i need to be in college or i need a "real" job. but they dont understand how happy i am with the job i have now. i dont want to change it.

i just really dont even want to get any older. life gets harder everyday. :)

Christmas time is here!

Me, Michael, Jamie, & Noah's christmas tree in our BOQ room

you decide

Classy or CHEESY?! now that the holiday season is here i am finally getting all the hours i want at work! i have now become the monday hospital coffee shop girl, i am a cashier at naps, a server at naps, and i also do catering events! its really great having so many options. i would like to also train for the rec desk just in case.... :)

any ways for the catering events i unfortunatly have to wear this lovely tux shirt and BOW TIE! not cute. at all. people think they are so cute and original by calling us penguins.

OH COOL!!

is it just me or did they all do to the same hair dresser?! :)

This CHRISTMAS!

Please don't forget those who keep us safe here at home.

wow there is so much i still need to see and do!!!

sleep

i can not wait to go from

THIS...

(ok well not this exact one but you get the idea, its a blue COUCH BED!)

to THIS...!

and once again not this exact one but once i have the money or if my parents buy it im getting a bed like that with nice new bedding! and i cant WAIT!!

no more hurting my back and sholders, and having to take my bed in and out every morning and night.
its crazy when the smallest things like this i look forward to so much.
and having my room back. and all my things!!!

the diamondbacks. VFA 102

so today my morning started off with me getting up and kinda lounging around very slowly getting ready for work. then realizing that i had wasted alot of time doing so making me rush to finish getting ready before it was to late to walk there!

so i got all done walked over, put my purse in my locker, clocked in and realized we were dead slow. great! again!

so for the first little while i had really nothing to do, i took a few tables 2 - 3 people each. then sam one of the server managers told me i needed to set up a table for 10 - 15 in my section and that the party would be there in about 10 minutes. i got it all done then finally about 30 minutes later what was supposed to be 10 - 15 came. turns out it was actually 20!

after rushing around for what seemed like forever, feeling very hot in there, and trying to not get the other servers and cooks mad at me for having such a big table and taking the last bit of tea and taking forever to get all my food out i got them all taken care of. it seems like by the time i got the last pilot his food that i was already clearing the others away! plus refilling the few diet pepsis and the pink lemonaide on top of 6 pitchers of tea.

then the fun part of spliting the check a million and two ways and figuring out whos goes where and getting the cash checks cashed out and the USAA and NFCU debit cards run though came along.

but do you wanna know what the best of all part of this exciting table 16 full of diamondback pilots was? the SIXTY dollar tip i got! yeah thats right.

and to make it even better...

by the time they all left and i was ready to clear their table lisa called and needed me to go to the officers club to help set up for the CSP peoples conferance. so that meant i didnt even have time to clear my table! haha.

the only down falls. i had made an appoiment to go donate platelets at the central california blood center and had to change it to tomorrow before work. (prolly not a good idea) and the fact that my feet are still killing me from working for over 6 hours. and yes i know what you are thinking "oh well i worked well over six hours today thats nothing" trust me six hours is ALOT if you are doing the job we do. sitting at a desk or working at a store is just so much different!

anyways thats just a day in my life.

thanksgiving....

did everyone forget???

Main Side Galley

Whats on the menu for saturday night dinner?

My dinner was...

* guava juice

* slice of bread

* yummy mashed potatoes

* green beans

* pork

* gravy

* salad with ranch dressing

While my dad had...

* diet coke

* a slice of bread

* mashed potatoes

* pork

* gravey

* spiach

* beans

* salad with ceaser dressing

then he had some coffee and i had a capuchino (sp?)

it was pretty fun, and very cheep i think it costs us about $7. we were thinking that the little kids would have fun going when they get here too.

the only downfall is the loser sailors who act like they have never seen a girl in their life!

Have you had NUTELLA?

cause i freaking love NUTELLA!!

since i live in the boq and there is pretty much never anything to eat worth eating the past few nights when i get home from work thats what ive had for dinner on a banana or something.

yes i know soooo healthy jess but what can i say! :)

although personally i cant understand the whole eating in on toast thing. i mean on french bread and then toasted YES, on fresh fruit once again YES, but TOAST?! pa-lease!

Wikipedia says this about it... mmmm

- We can trust John McCain and Sarah Palin because they are reformers with a record who stand by their words and will always put their country first.
