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!

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.
