Update-A-Roo

So this will be my update post. I keep putting off posting things that have been going on so here it goes!!

A couple days before Halloween I decided to make cupcakes! Kendra, Rich, Beth, and I got way into it and here are a few of my creations. Beth has more pictures of the extravaganza I just need to get them from her...

Mike's birthday was the 9th. We didn't do much. Just had some friends over and some drinks. Our new friends Alycia and Derek came over. They are a riot. It was all fun for the most part. Mike bought himself a Wii. So we have been having tennis tourneys. Fun stuff!

We had to put our cat down. He got bit by a spider and the infection was too much for him. It was the most horrible thing I have seen, minus Kendra's car accident a few years ago. Fat Cat was really Mike's. That cat loved him. Sheena is depressed too. So sad! It's all too fresh in our heads to talk about it much.

Cleaning

My management team at work has decided to have me clean rooms.

Am I happy about this? Not really. I kind of see it as a demotion/opportunity.

Do I enjoy it? Yes and no. I love the extra exercise and the quiet-time. I don't love the time limits and dealing with other people's trash. It's kinda disgusting and is way under appreciated.

Someone today left me a note that said how much they appreciated the extra clean rooms and a couple dollars! It made my day and got me through the eight hours of scrubbing, dusting, wiping, making, and vacuuming.

Thanks mystery note person!!

i am super negative about lots of things right now; so i just won't talk about it. the only silly good thing i have to relate to the world of blogs is that mike loves poptarts. he get's cravings like a pregnant woman does, i am not even joking. the other day he suggested we go get some. after i laugh for an eternity we go to the store and grab some along with other really random things. we are standing in the check out lane and mike looks at the cart and says,

mike: 'wow, we really did buy a lot of random things today.'
tam: yeah, like poptarts.
mike, in the most serious tone anyone could ever put on: poptarts are amazing.

it's honestly not that funny, but for some reason the way he said it coupled with the look on his face i almost died, seriously.

Work?

I worked the past seven straight days and get one day off. The company is making clean rooms one day a week. I am on a shitty salary and don't get any type of incentive for working more hours than I am required. I need a new job. Nate may have found me a new job too! His sister works at the court house is in charge of all the DA's secretaries and she is the one who hires/fires people. Someone just lost their job. Cross your fingers for me.

car shopping

so i have decided that i need a new car. the mustang is still fantastic as ever, but it doesn't really drive in the snow that will surely show up within the next month or so. that said, i am currently in the market for a new car and kind of accidentaly.

i was driving down the street the other day and saw this lovely jeep sitting in a lot with a for sale sign. i ohhed and ahhed and kept driving. three days later i am test driving the dang thing because i couldn't get it out of my silly little head that i didn't really need a new car. since then it has been down hill from there.

my dad is on the hunt for a good deal for me, and i keep scavenging through newspapers and thrifty nickels for something cheep and long-lasting. i was on ebay last night bidding on a jeep in reno and i was the highest bidder, but alas the guy wouldn't sell it to me because i was unwilling to pay what he wanted for it. so i am still on the hunt.

i still like the first jeep that started this whole mess.

are blogs supposed to have purposes?
