RAISES
ok so i wrote last time about my raise... which i will see on this weeks check.. whoo hoo! :)
my hubby got a job, they gave him an extra dollar on the hour so he is making 11 an hour and THEN he is going union this week which will give him 18.20 an hour and then the union is up for a raise soon for .40 on the hour! so he'll ALREADY be getting a raise. but i don't think that they get another one until their contract is up and that like a couple of years or so. anyway just wanted to let everyone know how excited we are! :)
we are going to washington d.c. this weekend... leaving thursday and getting there friday morning. yay i can't wait. we are going to see a SHIT load of stuff. i JUST now took the pics on my digital camera and put them on my computer to free up the memory cause it's FULL from going camping on memorial weekend. got some really good pics too! i have a potential for like 210 pics on my camera and i'll prolly use ALL of em on the first day in d. c. just cause i haven't ever been there and everything is going to be SOOO neat looking. hee hee im a FIEND when it comes to pictures... that's why i scrapbook so that i can get some freakin USE out of all the pics i take instead of them sitting in a box or picture book that gets looked like ONCE in a year! lol it's soo much fun too and for anyone who does scrap they know how much a scrapbook can mean!!! it's AWESOME! :)
k well i better do some work or something, i guess with this raise i SHOULD do something huh? :D heh heh
This and that
So it's been a little bit since I have blogged. Maybe because instead of just sitting here at work being bored I have actually had work to do. My dad (boss) has gotten me doing newsletters for ALL the complexes that we do. That is a new chore ON TOP of what I already have to do. It'd be great if I just sat here all day and typed up newsletters for the complexes and for our company it's self. That'd be NICE! ;) but nope, it's just ADDED to the whole daily grind!
HOWEVER as much as I have been bitching about it, my good work or bitching one has gotten me ANOTHER RAISE! whoo hoo, that's pimp! I am now up to $12.75! Go me!! BUT I prolly wont get another one till like 2007 or something. LOL ;)
My hunny has gotten a job since last we spoke. :) IM so glad that has something to do during the day and on a daily basis. He is only making 10 an hour right now, which isn't bad but we know that he is worth much more than that! Tee hee in about a month he will go union so he'll be making scale pay which is 18.20 in the city, that's pretty dern good! Oh what's his job you ask? Tile Setter Helper. :) basically that's a nice way of saying he is just a laborer... But he says that it's easier work than what he did here (landscaping, mowing and spraying lawns) plus its a family business still, BUT HE ISN"T RELATED! hee hee so that'll help everyone get along and all. :)
I have begun helping my sisters cheerleading coach. Thursday was my first day and I think IM really gonna like doing it. But the first time at "all stars" (practice tumbles, safety and stunts) and my freaking little sister wasn't EVEN THERE!! You know where she was?? KENTUCKY KINGDOM!! (six flags) with her friend who is also a freaking cheerleader! LOL she is bad. FLIRTING with marks cousin Wade who is her age and they have already had their little fling but I guess since she is moving over close to where he lives and RIGHT ACROSS the street from his school - they will be talking again! She says no, but I say YES YOU WILL! ;) I think it's cute and I always thought they'd be cute together, but he is a little bad ass. (but then again aren't ALL teenage boys?) CAN I GET AN AMEN! hee hee
his father is an alcoholic and his step mother is the same and has even threatened to kill him. I just don't' see how a decent person can come from a family like that. But I guess you never know. I was from disfunction and IM pretty decent!! I just don't want her to start going down the same path that OUR cousin is going on....
she is getting better though I think. I think most the reason why everyone is flipped out over her is cause her boyfriend is black but at least if she is having sex it's just with HIM! And not like 4 other boys.... BEFORE lamont came she was handing out "favor" like left and right. But now she is just with him and I think it's GOOD! But they are twisted cause she says that he is going to marry her and that they are going to move to Cincinnati and he is going to the NBA~ uh huh... I mean I guess that's teenage bull that we all go through but they are SERIOUSLY thinking that all that is going to happen.
me and mark were teenage lovers but it's like we never even talked about getting married, cause it was just one of those things that we KNEW was going to happen. But it wasn't talked about until we were actually living together, on our own... hee hee I pretty much told him that if you are going to ask me to marry you, you should do it soon so that I can plan for a July 12 2003 wedding cause that's the year july12 falls on a Saturday! LOL (IM bad)
so me and mark have pretty much completed our bathroom makeover, we did marble floor and petalstool sink and a NEW toilet all new fixtures... It's looks FAB! But the back splash is still in process and our medicine cabinet/mirror needs to go up before it's COMPLETE! And we'll prolly get new shower fixtures too. We have gotten new furniture for the living room and a new TV. It's 42" plasma flat screen. We are going to hang it on the wall.. NEAT! :) now all we need is some new area rugs and tables.. MAYBE some lamps (Asian) our living room is done in Chinese things... MOSTLY Chinese.. a few are Japanese.
owell THE BOSS is here.. better go! :)
