Happy Independence Day!!!!

I wish you all a very happy day filled with fireworks, family and fun!! (Maybe by next year we'll be home and resume our annual 4th of July Celebration Party that we started in 2005!! One can hope!!!!!!)

The little squirt has not been being very nice to me these past few weeks, but no worries... I shall have my revenge!!! Mwahahaha!!!

UPDATE:
I am due January 19th, 2009. I'll start my second trimester on Monday. I have no plans to find out what I am having, and I'm not tellin' the names either; although some of you should already know what it will be if it's a girl. =p

I heard something interesting today...

Today's fun fact, if you go 55 in a 40 m.p.h. zone, you will be ticketed. (Even if you've been doing it for 6 months. Eventually, those TPD guys'll catch on and get ya!!) So now, I get to go to work 4 days next week just to pay off my ticket!! Argh! You know that old saying, "Crime doesn't pay", so true. =(

On a completely separate note, I just walked outside barefoot to get the mail, and I'm pretty sure that I permanently scalded the bottoms of them... ouch!!

I am spending my Saturday in the kitchen. I am making 3 months worth of meals (or attempting to) in one day! So far I am off to a rather slow start... I've been at it since 8:30ish and at this point, I have yet to finish one item!

I am making my Dad's Chili (No carrots!!! ), my Mom's Spanish Rice, Potato Soup(I'm gonna try that again even though it didn't really work last time...), Shredded Chicken Sandwich Filling, and Beef a la Creole (I know, I can't believe it either!), Aunt Barb's Enchiladas, Sherry's Chicken Noodle Bake, Sis. Debbie's Cheesy Wild Rice Soup(YuM!), Crescent Roll dough for my Veggie Pizza, Meatloaf, and Baked Spaghetti, and seasoned ground beef for Taco Salad! (Phew!! I'm tired just planning it all!!! )

So far I've browned about 12 pounds of ground beef, and seasoned about 1/2 of that with taco seasoning for the enchiladas and taco salad.... and come up with a timeline of how I'm gonna accomplish all this in one day. (Answer, simple... I'll be cooking until midnight!!!!) =)

Gotta get back to the kitchen, no time for dillydallying!!!!!

So, have you all been to see the new Narnia movie yet?? Zion and I went last weekend, it's awesome!!!! (And I never even really liked the books!) They did an incredible job with it although you could kind of tell that they had a bigger budget for this one than they had for the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe... Anyhow, I highly recommend it and Zion and I both give it 2 thumbs way up!!! =)

I don't know really what I should write about anymore. My "Arizona Adventures" are basically non-existent at this point... I get up around 4:30-5:00, hit the road by 5:20 to be at work by 6:00 Mon-Fri, work my 8 hour day, and drive home. (Which usually takes about an hour and 20 minutes on the way home due to heavy traffic...)

I usually get home around 3:30-4 o'clock (I don't really leave work right at 2) so by the time I talk to Becca, play with Brandon and Ben for a few minutes, it's time to start supper 'cause Zion will be home soon. (He gets home around 6) We have some supper, and hang out for a while then at 8 I have to get a shower and get ready for bed so I can hit the hay no later than 9:00 and do it all over again the next day!

My job is okay, I like it pretty well, but it's starting to get kind of depressing because they keep dangling an assistant manager position in front of me, and acting like it's mine for the taking, but then when it comes time to actually talk about the position and what all it entails... the hotel isn't busy enough right now to merit giving me a big pay raise and promotion. Funny part about that is that earlier in the season, we were too busy for me to be getting trained... but they "have big plans" for me in the future. I don't know, it feels like they are just toying with me, and I don't like it.

Anyhoo, on a more exciting note, Zion bought me my very own laptop last week. (It's pink!!) I love it!! The only problem with it that I have is that it has the new windows stuff, and I don't know how to use the new word program very well.... I guess I'll figure it out in time.

Okay, sorry for making you wait so long for a post, thanks for reading. =) I'll try to post again soon, and more regularly and with more exciting things!!! ;)
