and I couldn't be happier that it is! I gave up my shift to a girl who really wanted to work tonight. Last week I had to work two nights in a row in the rain. It was absolutely obnoxious. I was wet (obviously) and had to deal with two different girls who are kinda spacey. Okay enough complaining cuz I'm ecstatic to not be working in the fucking rain!
Instead I get to hang out with my girls, Emily and Audrey, the world is our oyster. I also woke up stupidly late today but my only goals for the day are doing dishes, picking the dirty clothes up off the floor, and cleaning the bathroom. Most of these goals have been met except the bathroom. I hate cleaning toilets, even my own. I honestly will gag while cleaning.
For now I'm watching silly tv and writing.

Tonight I had to work. I've been working a lot. Not going to the gym as much lately, which makes me wonder why I'm still paying for it. Money is a very dumb issue right now. In fact, I hate money. I wish I had more to pay for my fun but I do not. I am looking forward to the free fun to be had on Christmas Eve. My bf's friend's mother hosts a lovely Christmas Eve dinner/drunkfest. Last year was absolutely fantastic. We ate, drank, and smoked! We woke up and started all over again. So I'm guessing we'll be doing the same this year.
Nothing too interesting to write about but I guess that's okay. Basically my bf and I have been dating for two years this month. Kinda crazy...although we don't have any plans to celebrate being together for two years. I don't even know what we should do to celebrate. I don't think he cares to celebrate and honestly I'm not sure I do either. It might be nice to go out to dinner or something. Ehhhh....whatever...I'm gonna keep watching shitty t.v.

holy shit
tomorrow's November! So no new things going on. I'm just working a shit ton at the restaurant. I really like working there, most of the people are super cool. Except this one girl who is newer than me and is absolutely annoying. Yes she is only 19 and I'm 29, therefore there is the whole maturity issue. And yes I'm a hostess at 29, fuck off! Anyways this girl was on a fucking power trip yesterday because she was accidentally scheduled to run the board. Basically she was supposed to tell all the other hostesses where to seat people. She fucked up. She was stepping on toes(figuratively not literally). She was told repeatedly to let the other girl take over that had been there longer because it was really busy and we didn't want her to be overwhelmed. But we were fucking busy and that dumb girl would not give up her coveted role because she wanted to be special. She even argued with one of the managers about the situation later. Some of the dumb shit she did: sending people to the same table, giving out pagers and not writing down the information, trying too hard to be friendly. Actually she is one of THOSE people who try too damn hard, instead of just being themselves! She also has moles on her face and I found out last night, some people have been calling her Moley behind her back. I feel bad but she's so fucking annoying.

well hello
I guess its been over a month since I've written anything here. New developments...subbing occasionally, just started a job at a restaurant, going out less to save $$$$$...falling more in love with my boyfriend and his cat. Watching a shit ton of stupid tv...hahaha...my life is awesome. Although winning the lottery or being given money from a long lost relative would make things somewhat nicer. I also bought a used bike. It's rad! I can ride it to work and other fun places that are close by. Alecia is back from traveling for a minute, which is fun for the ladies!
I've also looked into yoga teacher training. Its kind of a bummer though, I don't think I can afford it. My stupid car breaking down back in August drained my bank account. I felt pretty secure with money before that stupid situation. Now I'm definitely worried but money is really my only worry. Hopefully I keep getting the shifts at the restaurant and can get my bank account back to a healthy amount. If I get called to substitute tomorrow, I'm definitely taking it!
Wow...doing what I want instead of staying in a job at a place that was sucking the life out of me is kind of scary, honestly. I'm happy to not be working somewhere 5 days a week, where I felt like an outsider. It was disheartening. I didn't want to share or become close to anyone, cause it felt like they were all judging me. Now I like my jobs. I feel appreciated as a substitute and working as a hostess is actually fun. The people are friendly (for the most part) and work is pretty busy right now. Keeps me on my toes!
Well, now that we're caught up and I'm super tired since I just finished a 6 and a half hour shift, I'm going to join my already sleeping boyfriend. Oh sleep how I love you!
Smooches!

Let's see
we've moved into the new place a little over 2 weeks ago. We have already seen some interesting shit and I survived my first night here alone. Nobody tried to break in and rape me! Victory!
Ha! JK...noteworthy things...threw away a ton of shit we did not need and watched other people sift through the dumpster for gems, nor could the stuff we threw away fit into our tiny 500 and something square feet apartment. Downstairs neighbor behaved like a drug addict but moved out a couple of days ago. New neighbors moved in. I saw one carrying a guitar. Sweet musicians, I hope they don't play their music too loud.
Also, Trevor's and my car broke down a week apart after moving in here. Like the universe was saying, hey you got a break on your rent so I'm gonna get money from you some other way! Funny isn't it...no not really...god damn heat...standing around in a parking lot waiting for the tow truck...but thank goodness for Emergency Roadside Service and not having to pay for said road truck.
I also bought Orange Cat a scratch pad (we smuggled her in, so we wouldn't have to pay the deposit, which we ended up spending on our cars, its a wash) and poured catnip on it. She proceeded to have a kitty orgasm; rolling around on the pad and scratching it...it was THE most adorable thing I've ever seen. I have a video of it but cannot figure out how to upload it. Damnit...as soon as I do, I will bring the delights of the Orange Cat to the world. My goal is to make her roll around on the scratch pad again! I don't know how but I will devise a plan.
Oh yes, one night Trevor and I decided to go buy an ice cream, actually thats not true I bribed Trevor to walk with me to go buy an ice cream. Anyways, we went to the creepy convenience store across the way. We walked in and there was a guy standing directly in front of us scratching his lottery ticket he just bought. There were also a few other ethnic looking gentlemen sitting in front of the door inside the store, just chilling as far as I could tell. We picked out our individual ice creams from the ice cream freezer section, then decided we should get a 40 to go with. On the door of the fridge containing the 40's, a sign was posted alerting customers that there was, "Vedio security cameras." I believe video was misspelled to reflect the accent of one of the men that owned the store. I'm not judging, I am observing. As we went to pay, I realized all the men that were hanging out were scratching lottery tickets. I'm assuming they would buy more tickets from the money they won with the original ticket in order to win it Big someday!
Moving was also a hellish ordeal and I do not wish to write anymore. Lets just say moving during a heatwave, I mean in hell, suckzzzzzz big hairy balls!!
Otherwise I'm happy and love love love living with my boy and his cat!

Holy Christmas!!
My mood has changed...the universe has answered...Trevor and I were approved. New apartment here we come! It is excellent!! $525 takes care of all utilities except for water and sewage, which is a flat rate of $14 plus taxes every month. Plus $63 to move in, WTF! Huge weight lifted off my back. I'm super excited. Tonight I will be merry!!

Apartment hunting!
SUCKZZZZZZ!! I believe I have found at least 2 different places that might accept Trevor and I.
One of the places I went to look at today was incredibly creepy. Old run down buildings, centered around dilapidated looking pool. Some creepy men were lurking in the parking lot. I saw the office sign, so I started walking to where it was pointing. I must have looked confused because a small, possibly Hispanic older man, deeply tanned with weathered looking skin in large eye glasses, shoulder length wavy pepper and salt hair with a baseball cap on asked me if I was looking for something. I also want to mention his slightly bulbous nose and goofy grin, kinda reminds me of Elmer Fudd now that I think bout it.
Anyways, I told him I was looking for the office but he said that there wasn't an office on site. The sign LIED! He said he could give me the number of someone to call, so I could check out an apartment. I followed to his car so he could rummage around for a pen to write with on his little orange notepad. He writes one number down but then decides he should include a second in case I couldn't reach anyone on the first number. I looked at the paper and his lowercase B looked like an uppercase D. So I pronounced the first name wrong. Not a problem. The second name was spelled equally awkwardly! I also had to have him pronounce it to me twice just to make sure I wouldn't mess it up, in case I actually called.
I took the scrap of paper and walked over to my car. Just as I was about to start it I see the older man walking over to my car. So I open the door. He proceeds to tell me his name and to tell the ladies I will probably (not) call, that he referred me so he could get $200 off his rent. I'm definitely (not) going to call.

Last Sunday
Okay I wish to write bout what happened last Sunday because it has now taken a humorous turn. I also don't want to jinx myself but I feel I must share this story.
Last Sunday I was driving to my brother's house in BFE(Queen Creek, almost Coolidge). I noticed a Sheriff's Deputy behind me and immediately placed my hands on 10 and 2 and made sure I was going the speed limit. I also realized that I could get pulled over because my plates are expired but I bought a 30 day permit. I just wasn't sure where to display it on my car, so I kept it with me in the cab. Well of course I got pulled over. I already knew why and figured the matter would be cleared up as soon as the officer saw my 30 day permit.
He walked up to my car and I gave him my info and my permit. He chastised me for not having it displayed but gave me instructions on where to put it on my car. I figured that would be that but then realized I didn't have my current insurance card in the little pocket. So he wrote me a citation for no proof of insurance. I've actually been through this before because I'm a doofus and forget to put my current insurance card in my car. No big deal I was thinking, I'll go home, find my card and take it to the court. Whatever, it's a done deal. But no, the dude (with his icky meth teeth) stands there and lectures me about not having my current card. He's just protecting the other drivers. Get off your high horse, man.
Yet as I was driving away, I thought I might have put my current card in my purse, to later put in my car the next time I was going to drive. So I check my purse and guess what...stupid card is there. Fuuuuuucccckkkk!!!! But really not a big deal. I'll just take care of the stupid mistake and it really doesn't matter in the long run.
Well this morning I get a call from that same officer. He forgot to give me my copy of the citation and wants me to meet him somewhere so he can give it to me. Seriously dude! I don't want to drive back out to Queen Creek unless I'm going to visit my brother's family. Yeah, I'm gonna drop everything to go get served. Thanks man but no. So Trevor advises me to call the court and see what the legality of the situation is. Basically the lady I talked to giggled and said I got lucky. The cop HAS to serve me. I don't have any legal responsibility to meet him anywhere. So the next time he calls, I'm getting his number and calling the sheriff's department and reporting what happened.
I personally am protecting myself. Dude made a mistake. Hopefully karma keeps working for me. Love ya cop!

whewwww
Not freaking out so much...our friend, Chuck, has invited Trevor and I to live with him for the month of August and only pay utilities!! Plus my students met their AIMS goals and I got my bonus today! I also got my hair cut. I have bangs...I like them soooo much! I'm also using way too many exclamation points...who cares. Last episode of the Hills is also this evening and Audrey and I are going to the mall. Today is awesome!!

well poop
My resolve will not waiver but I'm honestly a little freaked out right now. We just found out that our lease is up at the end of the month. We HAVE to find a place to live. I DON'T have a JOB!! Fuck me!! I do have money and CAN afford bills but who's gonna want to accept me as a future resident while I do not have a job. Once again, POOP! We will find a place to live next week. Even if it is some shitty place west of Mill. I really don't give a fuck right now. Oh and I will find a job next week!! Please universe, keep providing!!

i resolve
to not be bummed that I haven't found a job yet, honestly it is my own motivation that has gotten in my way. I resolve to be love and compassion and peace. I resolve to be thankful for everything I have right at this very minute. I will always recognize the wonderful people around me. I will also buy myself something pretty today cuz I feel like it! I would like a pair of shoes and a dress. I will probably one buy one of the two items mentioned. :)

good morning!
okay so it's actually almost afternoon. I still don't have a job. boohoo me. Maybe if I actually got motivated to drop off more applications and visit businesses that I'm interested in working at I might get a job. Life is not one big party but sometimes I wish it were. Endless amounts of money to support my lifestyle, which would definitely include more traveling. ha!
For now I'm drinking iced coffee and watching Buffy. I am also contemplating filling out another application to another restaurant job! Contemplating...not actually doing...oooooh I also plan on filling up the water jugs (jugs because they hold 5 gallons of water each) today. Hopefully one of my friends/roomies will help me.

I have decided
I like really crappy top 40 music. Some of it, definitely not all of it. Lady Gaga, B.o.B. (don't know if that stands for anything), Drake, Lil Wayne, Keri Hilson, etc...at least most of it stays on the mainstream hip hop side. :)
Anyways, my life has been pretty silly the last couple of weeks. I've retired from teaching. After 6 and a half years I wanted a change. Now that I don't have a mortgage and I live with my boyfriend I'm saving dollazzz!
So I started off my retirement with a trip to Mexico with Chuck, Tim, and Emily. All friends I've made through my boyfriend. I love that he doesn't get jelly because that would really suck. The four of us basically drank ourselves silly, laid on the beach, danced at Manny's, bought a ring (me) and a paper mache monkey (Chuck), and ate yummy Mexican food. Except for the fish ceviche tostadas...disgusting...looked like cat food, stupid decision I will never make again! Unfortunately we also had a 2 hour wait at the border on the way home. I thought I was going to go crazy. Super boring! Except for the crazy man who ran between the cars and tried opening car doors and peering into open windows. What a wacko!
We made it home safely! Now I have an excellent base tan that I will just keep adding to!

So I'm not
an elementary school teacher anymore. I am now unemployed by choice. I'm waiting for my good friend Audrey to come over, so I can get laying by the pool started for the summer. I get a lump sum check at the end of the school year because I choose to spread my salary out. This is pretty awesome because it means I don't have to get a job RIGHT NOW but I would like to get one. I want to save as much of my check as possible for moving, traveling, and doing other fun stuff. I'm excited bout my prospects. My boyfriend's along for the ride. Hopefully we actually move in December. We're thinking either LA or Denver. I think I'd prefer Denver but I'd go to LA (the Lakers suckkkkk). I feel really free at the moment. Like I don't have to know what's going to happen in the next 5 minutes. I'm making an impromtu trip to Mexico tomorrow. Definitely wasn't planning on doing that. The idea was tossed in the air and shot down and now I'm going tomorrow. Plans are for suckas. No expectations. Just love!

So apparently
I get angry and shout at my boyfriend when I get almost blackout/totally blackout drunk...whoops. Well that was not the only highlight of our Vegas trip...where to begin??
I drove most of the 5 hour drive to Vegas, which I was absolutely fine with. I LOVE to drive. I realize some people hate it but not me. Put me in my car and let me wander. I love driving!! Since there were 6 of us in a 5 person soccer mom suv, someone had to ride in the back the entire time. Poor Tyler was the first to endure the trunk. He got to share the space with a 30 pack of beer, an economy size box of granola bars, duffel bags, and pillows. Good thing Ty's not as big as Mat. Lucky Mat got to ride in the front passenger seat the entire time because of his height.
After I decided I couldn't drive anymore, Brian took the wheel, Ty moved to the middle seats with Audrey and Trevor and I moved to the back area. Thankfully I'm a small person and I was quite comfy! As we were passing over the Hoover Dam there were ridiculous people in silly outfits to mock. We all know we're going to hell so we like to amuse ourselves this way, whatever.
We also decided that as we got closer to the check point, I should climb over the seat and pretend to sit in the middle with my 3 other friends (one being my boyfriend, so I sat on his lap). We were afraid the cops were going to harass us if we weren't all buckled up. We are dumb. The cops didn't give a shit. A group of 20-something people driving towards Vegas, we're not terrorists, ha! They did have a super creepy van pulled over on the side of the road. That made us feel better.
Okay...so back to me yelling at my boyfriend. The whole reason this is absolutely ridiculous is the fact that alcohol was involved and emotions were running high. One of our friends got lost on the first night in Vegas and we were having trouble figuring out where he was. So Trevor and Mat went in search of Ty.
Audrey, Brian, and I decided we were going to find a club to dance at. Unbeknownst to me, because I was a drunken idiot, we ended up at the bar connected to our hotel. We're drinking and dancing and having a fabulous time, when I keep getting calls from Trevor.
I finally answer and he's upset with Ty and I'm not sure where we're at. I cannot tell him what club I'm at. To talk to Trevor I ventured outside of the club and when my call ended, I went to find Audrey and Brian. I could not spot them, way too drunk. At this point I decide to walk back to the hotel, except I do not realize I am steps away from the hotel I'm staying at. Doofus. So of course I do the safest thing possible, walk in the wrong direction down the Vegas strip towards the Excalibur. Maybe cause I'd been there earlier that night. Your guess is as good as mine! So I have no idea where I'm going. I repeatedly hang up on Trevor because I don't want him to save me. I want to get back to the hotel all by myself. I manage to walk over the bridge to the other side of the strip and at the bottom of the stairs, there is Trevor being ridiculously patient. What a lovely man. He is fantastic. I'm upset and crying because he is upset. His friend has cause some serious unnecessary drama for the evening, then his girlfriend gets herself lost.
Fortunately we are both able to realize that the whole misunderstanding was alcohol fueled and get over it quickly. The rest of the trip is lovely. Drinking and laying by the pool. Getting stared at by 12 year old boys because I've put on a few pounds and my boobs are the size of large grapefruits. hahaha...eating at a delicious all you can drink wine restaurant. Gambling and actually winning a few dollas!! And another 5 hour car ride back, sleeping in the back of the car. Thank you Brian and Trevor for driving us home!
love love love my boyfriend and friends!

One of our friends got lost on the first night in Vegas and we were having trouble figuring out where he was. So Trevor and Mat went in search of Ty.
Audrey, Brian, and I decided we were going to find a club to dance at. Unbeknownst to me, because I was a drunken idiot, we ended up at the bar connected to our hotel. We're drinking and dancing and having a fabulous time, when I keep getting calls from Trevor.
I finally answer and he's upset with Ty and I'm not sure where we're at. I cannot tell him what club I'm at. To talk to Trevor I ventured outside of the club and when my call ended, I went to find Audrey and Brian. I could not spot them, way too drunk. At this point I decide to walk back to the hotel, except I do not realize I am steps away from the hotel I'm staying at. Doofus. So of course I do the safest thing possible, walk in the wrong direction down the Vegas strip towards the Excalibur. Maybe cause I'd been there earlier that night. Your guess is as good as mine! So I have no idea where I'm going. I repeatedly hang up on Trevor because I don't want him to save me. I want to get back to the hotel all by myself. I manage to walk over the bridge to the other side of the strip and at the bottom of the stairs, there is Trevor being ridiculously patient. What a lovely man. He is fantastic. I'm upset and crying because he is upset. His friend has cause some serious unnecessary drama for the evening, then his girlfriend gets herself lost.
Fortunately we are both able to realize that the whole misunderstanding was alcohol fueled and get over it quickly. The rest of the trip is lovely. Drinking and laying by the pool. Getting stared at by 12 year old boys because I've put on a few pounds and my boobs are the size of large grapefruits. hahaha...eating at a delicious all you can drink wine restaurant. Gambling and actually winning a few dollas!! And another 5 hour car ride back, sleeping in the back of the car. Thank you Brian and Trevor for driving us home!
love love love my boyfriend and friends!

holy crap!
We are off to Vegas once everyone gets here and we pack my vehicle. I am so excited to be roadtripping it with my new friends and my boyfriend! I guess I've known all of these people for almost a year and a half now, so they're not such a new group. It's just awesome to be able to share in some ridiculous fun with like minded people!
Holy crap Vegas...here we come...laying in the sun, watching the Suns game, playing some slots and video poker, getting dumbly drunk! hahahaha...yippee!!
love, love, love

ahhhhh
I teach 6th grade and towards the end of the school year, I am amazed by the things my students do. These things usually make me want to slap myself on the forehead!
Yesterday, one of my lovelies walks over to the pencil sharpener and sticks his pencil in one of the back 3 vent holes of the sharpener. I'm guessing the holes are there to vent the little machines motor. I watched him do this and was staring with my jaw hanging down. I could come up with no words and part of me wanted to see what he would do.
He then proceeded to say, "Ms. Salas, the pencil sharpener isn't working."
I wanted to say, "Doofus, you've got it in the wrong hole! Duh!" And maybe some other words but I didn't.
I calmly walked over and showed him where the pencil should go. It may not have been so bad if he had been a brand new student and had never used the pencil sharpener before but he's been in my reading class since the beginning of the school year. I've had the same pencil sharpener since the beginning of the school year.
I honestly do not know what to make of this incident. I don't want to make the child feel bad but holy crap. hahahahaha....I laughed out loud about this later and told my friends. Just ridiculous!
Please teach your children simple problem solving skills! :)

How could I ever love a cat?
When I was 5, my parents thought it would be a great idea to buy me a cat. Although this cat would also be expected to earn its keep by catching and killing mice that lived in the backyard. Unfortunately for her before it got the chance to become our protector, she managed to get stuck under the house for awhile and die. We had no idea where she was and we didn't realize she was under our house. Only a small cat could get under there. It took a lot of searching to find her, poor thing.
But what did my parents do to make up for this tragedy, buy me a new cat. A cat that would come to dislike people. Yet she was a great mouse and bird hunter. She didn't like people due to the fact that she had to be an outside cat because of my mom's allergies. So we never handled her and when we had too, (trips to the vet, pulling out the burrs that got stuck in her fur,etc.) she used her claws to express her anger. Since she didn't like me, I decided I didn't like her. Therefore I didn't like any cats. Cats were dumb.
I have been dating my boyfriend for almost a year and a half and he is a cat owner. He comes up with very simple names for the cats he has owned. His current cat is named Orange Cat because.....you've guessed it! She's orange...and remarkably small for a kitty. Apparently she only weighs about 4 pounds. I didn't come to really adore this cat until she became my roommate. She is the most adorable animal I have ever met. She is also an amazing warrior. I say warrior because she will fight anything: string, beer bottle tops, bugs, wires for the video game controllers, the zipper on my jacket. Nothing gets past the Orange. She also managed to survive a 35 mile trek from home. She decided to take a walk one day and got lost. The man who found her said he would've kept her if she didn't have a tag on her collar. She is just one of the most delightful creatures I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. When she sleeps, its almost as precious as watching a newborn baby sleep. Its absolutely heart wrenching. If you meet the Orange and you dislike her, that is a sign of your character. Nobody dislikes the Orange!
Hahaha....I cannot believe I just blogged about my boyfriend's cat. She really is the most amazing, cuddly, adorable thing ever. We have dubbed her 'our smallest friend'.
Give your animal a hug...all they know is love! hehe

reading my last post made me giggle. I'd actually forgotten that I wrote it! My computer is now hooked up to the internet in the cube (tiny bedroom upstairs shaped like...well a cube). Where would I be without the internet? There are so many fun things to check out here in my home without having to go anywhere. Actually that sounds kinda depressing but thats not what I meant. :)
I'm feeling pretty pleased lately. My boyfriend is a very satisfying person and we have recently found new ways to express our love. He is such a beautiful person and I trust him!
This spring break has been ridiculous. So much fun partying and officially moved out of my old place and into the new one. There is still some organizing to do but its rad.
The whole living with the boyfriend situation still makes me nervous but I'm trying to take it a day at a time. I'm trying to remember this is his first time living with someone and my second. I'm definitely not the expert. Communication is key. We have learned that time and time again, in positive ways.
The world is love!

here we go again!
So I'm sitting in my boyfriend's old room typing this but now we live upstairs. Yes we are now living together. A HUGE step for both of us. I haven't lived with anybody since my ex-husband (and yes folks I had a husband bout 3 and a half years ago...omg almost 4 years ago). My boyfriend has NEVER lived with anybody but his friends and random people. I feel like we are adjusting well. As I've mentioned before we have excellent communication skills. I don't mean to brag but we like to talk and we both listen, so things usually work out well.
I'm kinda tipsy as I write this but I'm pretty excited to be posting again! Plus I'm living with my favorite person. His friend is rad. I've known him as long as I've known my boyfriend. That's actually a funny story but I like to keep that to myself and the friends that know.
hmmmmmmmm....where was I going with this????? Life pretty much is fantasmic and things seem to be falling in to place. I did have to deal with my stupid wheel bearings earlier this week but whatevs cuz I got a deal and everything worked out okay.
Once again....let the peeps the matter most that you love them and just send out positive vibes to the world : *
