Everything's moving right along.....

Woah, I have big news. We are officially looking at houses. I have a real estate agent. Wowza, am I grown up. Okay okay, it's my friends son and I think he secretly thinks I am crazy, but whatever. It's good to be a little nuts. Yesterday he took us to four houses. We waited until being preapproved for a mortgage, because I didn't want to get all excited and then have then be like "sorry, no." So we've been preapproved and went out and saw some places the very same day. My parents first house they bought the first one they saw. The agent took them all over town all day showing them other places because he was like "you can't buy the first thing you see". But they did anyhow. So far, we might too. But Mike is showing us more places today. So we'll see.
Adam told me yesterday that he is for sure 100% coming here to live with us. So I'm looking for 2 floor homes, so he can have some private space and so can we. Mom says "Maybe you can try and find him a girlfriend?". haha, poor Adam. I'm excited to have a little company when Ryan's gone, and even if Adam's gone too, I'll have Steve (Adam's dog). He's going to need some training for sure.... Adam's not as strict as me, surprise surprise.
Well I do have some cards to post and such, but again, I'm writing this when I should be getting ready for work so they will have to wait.

What to say?

So much going on, but what to write about? I've been busy, busy with work and hanging out. Which is good, I'm not normally so social. I like it. Crystal had her birthday this week so we all scrapbooked at the store. It was a lot of fun except for a few details about a certain someone. I can't get over how she just loves to steal the show, and make all the attention on her. It's insane how she gets away with it.
Ryan's home. We've got an appointment on Monday with each of our banks to investigate mortgages and all that. I dunno if we're going to go through with it if Adam doesn't come here - we just might not be able to afford it with me going back to school. I seem to have a definite plan of what I want, min. 3 bedrooms if Adam comes, if not I could live with 2, I'd love 2 bathrooms, but again, could live with one, and in a nice neighborhood. Ryan wants, good neighborhood, big yard, garage, finished basement, at least 3 bedrooms, fenced yard.... his list goes on and on. I have a feeling this is going to cause a few arguments. It's healthy to fight once in a while right? haha. I'll keep you posted on how that goes.
I should be getting ready for work now.... I'll try to post some layout photos later.

Confused

My head is spinning.... I've spent the last few hours reading about different types of mortgages, open, closed, variable, amortization rates, terms, interest. It's intense. There are so many options. You want to make sure you pick the right one. Ryan and I are going to go to our banks next Monday and figure out what's best.
Today I went to Crystal's place to scrapbook. Jane came as well. We scrapbooked for a while, and then went outside to enjoy the sunshine. It was fun to visit, I really haven't had a lot of friends since we've moved here and it's nice to just hang out and chat with people more frequently. Starting to feel a bit more social again. To top it all off I went to June's for dinner - two friends in one day, check me out. We had this chicken thing where you jam a can of beer into the chicken butt and cook it on the bbq. The whole concept was just hilarious to me being as mature as I am. So I was invited along to appease my curiosity. It was quite enjoyable.
I'm going to head to bed I think, I dunno what I'm going to do tomorrow- it's my cleaning day I suppose.

Finally finished the layout!

Only took like 5 days to complete this one..... I really really like it though. I wasn't sure at first if the papers went together.... the blue scallop circle is from a different line, and the white is really stark, but I think it works. I don't know how old I am in this photo, 6? 7?. I don't know. it's cute though. going to bed.

Getting organized

Still working on that layout I mentioned the other day.... its nearly done. it's not really complex or anything, I've just been busy. I'm working on organizing my clear stamps right now into these clear binder page things.... it's taking a long time, so far I've only done one page. I'm excited for it though, that is, if it works.....wish me luck.

I think I might just be done....

You know when you have those moments in your life where you're like "okay, enough shit, I'm moving on"? Today was one of those days. Ryan says I should quit tomorrow, but I just won't do that. I'm not like that. My debate now is whether to give 2 weeks tomorrow, and then try to find a job that will let me take my 3 weeks vacation, or take my vacation and then find a job. I guess I need to start a job hunt and decide from there. To back it up, for those of you who I haven't ranted and complained to today..... I just can not any longer stand the lack of concern, compassion, or dedication from Lynette. I truly feel she is done with her store, and just doesn't want to be there. Which is fine, whatever - but do something about it. Don't screw off and not be there for me. Don't tell me you're here to help, and not do the one thing I ask you to do. Do stand by while I totally impale myself (yes, I ripped my pants and sliced a huge gas in the back of my leg on a paper rack today) and not even care enough to ask if I'm okay. I think she might have said "are you okay" but not "wow, I'm sorry, I'll fix that rack I had no idea" not "do you want to go home" not "did you sterilize it" not nothing. Just the standard what you have to say response and thats it. Although, I really have come to expect only that from her. I had a class tonight, and a bunch of ladies stayed really late to shop - like an hour and a half extra. which is fine, I don't mind, however I KNOW Lynette won't pay me for it. She should, I know she should. She should not only pay me, but pay me overtime. But we've gone through this before, and she just weasels out of it. I know I should fight more for it, but is $16 bucks really worth it? I guess it should be. So anyhow, I know exactly to the penny how much money I owe, so I'm going see if she pays me extra for the shopping time. That too might affect whether I quit now or a little later. I love that store, I love my job, I love the customers, I really really can't stand her. I actually think I went to hating her today, and I really haven't hated a person in a long time. I'm tired, I'm going to bed. I'll stop my run on paragraph here.

Dad's Card and Some News

This is Dad's Father's Day card. I made it this morning and am really happy. I ordered this stamp from Little Paper Shop. Totally cool because Dad used to have a car just like this. Although, Dad's was black, but I didn't trust myself to colour a black car and not make it look like a total blob. It's not really a fancy card, but it makes me happy and I know he'll like it.

So, I phone the college today about whether I have to take all those courses I've already taken. I don't, which is a relief. HOWEVER - the transcript they have from UNBC doesn't have my freakin' degree on it! They didn't even know I graduated! Stupid UNBC sent them some old transcript, which is why I got accepted into the freaking two year program instead of the one. So fuck. Isn't that just wonderful eh? So they should be in the process of getting the new transcript now.... but I don't think I'll be able to go back into the one year, I think it's already filled up. How lovely for me. Anywho... what's done is done right, must have happened for a reason. Should become apparent one day. I'm off to go run some errands.
