catching up

I figured I'd blog real quick before work, since I haven't blogged in about a month. Things are going good. Might have a second job lined up in a couple of days. Going to Alabam with the family for Christophers first birthday! All the money that was in my bank account, has now officially disappeared due to books for school. I will be very busy and home bound, mainly for the next 6 months because I'm back in physical therapy. I went to the doctor yesterday and found out that I have a shoulder sprain. Apparantly, when I was playing the wii, I popped my arm out of socket. Then it went back into socket, but it never felt right. (but i really didn't know I had hurt my arm. I thought i was exercising.) The doctor said that my tendons or muscles one, are tight, and that somehow resulted in overworking my shoulder and spraining it. I think. Mom wasn't with me at the doctors office, so most of what she said was not paid attention to, because i was thinking that mom was going to kill me when I told her I had to go back to physical therapy. So, anyway, now mom has 2 kids she's putting in physical therapy. I will just have to add that to the 5 days of school, 6-7 days of working 2 jobs, and still trying to have fun. Guess everyone has to go through it sometime.
I just hate the fact that the ones who don't want to grow up(me) get shoved into the world full force and the ones who want to grow up(rachel) get little doses at a time.

Catching Up/ Buy Used, Save the Difference.

So things have been pretty hectic since I last blogged. Plus, I'm also lazy. Let's see, I turned 18, graduated high school, got baptized, started looking for a second job, got into Santa Fe College, took the Computerized Placement Test for college, set up orientation, and started working on a budget. Right now it's one of my days off and I'm just chillin at the house.(by myself). The drywall stuff is almost done. I'm actually cooking tonight! I'm going to the grocery store in a little bit and getting things to make spaghetti.(mainly the only REAL thing I know how to cook:) I'm working all weekend(except for Sunday). I have to deal with the fourth of July crowd at work... but I love it when it's busy, because the time goes by so fast. I have 18 hours on my paycheck this week. Though it's not as much as I used to have(stupid economic crisis crap) I'm just thankful I have a job. Like I said, I'm currently looking into a second job. Though, like I said, with this Economic Crisis Crap, all the jobs are currently slashing their current employees hours, and aren't taking any new employees. Thankfully, I've already got a taste of how much college is going to cost me a year, and if I live at home, never eat, drive, or pretty much breath for the next four years... I should be in okay shape!
Anyway, Like I said, I'm putting myself on a budget. I've made well over >)#*^ dollars in the past few months, and if you'll look in my closet, you'll see where it went.(Thanks Mom and Aunt KAte for that wonderful Gene)But however, I'm concerned that I may go into debt for school which is why I'm cutting that down. I'm also doing thrifty things now. There are nice consignment shops if I get the urge to shop. buy used save the difference.
