burned alive

Today was a BEAUTIFUL day!! It was 76 degrees and sunny without humidity and just perfect.

After church Jesse and I had our first taste of Backyard Burgers. Its kinda funny cause now that we are moving back we are trying to try all the stuff Winston has to offer that WV doesn't. I have to admit..Backyard Burgers was good. Expensive, but good. For our two "bundle meals" we paid over 12 dollars. I tried to get the nutritional info on their site, but it said "coming soon."

After eating lunch, I took Kitsy for a little walk. Then I decided I wanted to pull out my lawn chair and lay outside. So I did, wearing a tank top and shorts...for 2 and a half hours...while reading The Guardian.

I finally decided to come back inside.... only to realize, my skin was red and itchy. I am really sunburned, but only on the front of my arms and the front of my legs. My face didn't burn because I wear sunscreen every day, thank goodness!

It was so nice outside..I wasn't even hot or sweaty or anything. So, I didn't realize that I was getting burnt. Oops!

After this... I cleaned our master bathroom because it was getting nasty. I have never hated cleaning a bathtub more than the bathtub here!! It is all bright white tile and the grout is a great place for mold and mildew to grow. Its so disgusting and the only thing that works on it is bleach! So that took an eternity....and my hands smell like a janitor.

After my cleaning fest I got on the Substitute finder website and booked a job for tomorrow at a middle school. I'm kinda depressed about that because middle schools start at the crack of dawn. Oh well, it does mean that I'll be home earlier! I'm subbing for a 6th grade math and science teacher. I'll write about it tomorrow.

dont feel like blogging

Today was kinda boring.

Jesse still feels bad..but he is feeling better he says. He still hasn't gone to see a doctor. He's stubborn.

I went to church w/ Holli and Lester. Jesse was too sick.

Before church I put 2 cornish hens in the crock pot...and after church we ate them! And they were really good!

I messed around a little while...and then went to Kohl's & Target.

When I got home I ran 2 miles on the treadmill...it onlu took 18 minutes! :)

Now... I've gotta pack up my lunch for tomorrow. I am subbing at North Forsyth.

ok....done

sunday..not so fun day

Went to church this morning at Agape.. it was pretty good. It was the 2nd message in a series titled, "GO" from Pastor Whitfield. He showed a video about Oprah's "megachurch" on Monday nights with A New Earth author, Eckhart Tolle. If you are reading this... just know that no matter what they say about it not interferring with your Christian beliefs...it does. If you believe that Jesus is the way to salvation and that no man comes to God except through Him, then you will have issues with Tolle's teaching.

Speaking of which...did everyone hear the American Idol contestants sing Darlene Zschech's song "Shout to the Lord" on American Idol on Thursday night???????? I was amazed that they would sing that song, although it is an extremely popular Christian song. Wikipedia says that is is sung by an estimated 25 to 30 million churchgoers each week! but anyway... the Idol version cut out the name of Jesus.



Yesterday I had made plans with Jesse to go eat lunch at Qdoba's after church. Then I wanted to go over to the mall and try on some more bathing suits. After that we needed a few things from Walmart and I thought we could pick those up on the way home.

Well..after church we did go to Qdoba's and it was very good. Jesse got a chicken burrito (which was $5.79, I think) and I got a chicken quesadilla (which was $6.29) Qdoba's is oddly a LOT like Chipotle and Moe's. The prices are slightly higher than Moe's but I think the taste and quality is a lot better at Qdoba's...but Moe's does give you free chips.

Well, we were headed on the way to the mall..and I knew it was going to take me a while to find some bathing suits and try them all on. I wanted to go to Dillard's, Belk, JCPenney's and Macy's. Anyway...we were on our way and its already like almost 2 o'clock...and Jesse says that he wants to make it home by 3:30 to watch the Master's. haha.... I was supposed to go to the mall and walmart in an hour and a half??

So I told him to turn around and just go to Walmart. I guess I'll have to go to the mall by myself cause Jesse just doesn't have enough patience to shop with me when I'm actually looking for something.

When we got home from Walmart we went over to the apartment complex's gym. I ran 1.75 miles w/o stopping. The stupid treadmill screwed up so I don't know how far I went all together, but...it was about 3.5 miles. It was really hot in there and my face was blood red.

Then I took a bath and read my book. Now I'm reading Nicholas Spark's "The Rescue" which I borrowed from Holli.

hump day

In case you don't know... Wednesday is Hump Day because its the middle of the week. This is especially true for me cause I only work at CB M thru F. Thank God! :)

Today was a pretty good day. I was in the front dining room and I stayed busy all day. Yesterday was good too. I was in the smoking section but still stayed pretty busy and made pretty good money. I waited on a table of 8 CB General and District Managers.

Today I got kinda upset at this girl, Beth... I say "upset" but I didn't say anything or do anything of course. I just thought "What goes around comes around" There was a manager at one of my tables and she told me a lie and said that we were still on the old floor plan just so that she could go wait on him. Does she think I'm an idiot?? I wish she woulda just told me the truth instead of being shifty about it...cause I would have let her wait on him if she wanted....shes a table theif.

Tonight Jesse and I are getting ready to go to Agape Faith Church. They are having a miracle healing service and prayer meeting.

No news from the job search... or the house search. Well take that back... about the house search anyway. We have a new location we are looking at... its called Wallburg, NC.

beep, beep...back the truck up

ok.... catch up time

on Saturday, Jesse and I went with Holli and Lester to look around King, NC. We were looking at some neighborhoods that we could possibly live in eventually. Then we drove up a little ways and visited Mt. Airy, NC. Mt. Airy is the town Mayberry was based on and it is the hometown of Andy Griffith. We wanted to have lunch somewhere cool...like Snappy Lunch (it was closed), The Blue Bird Diner, or Aunt Bea's....but somehow we ended up at Chili's...but it was good

Here are some photos of the "Snappy Lunch" I think you can see Floyd's Barber Shop and Opie's Candy Shop too! hahaha.... While I was standing there taking one of these pictures a strange man walked by me and said, "You shoulda got here earlier (it was 3:30pm and they close at 2) and you coulda had you a porkchop sandwich." Holli and I laughed a while about that one. I guess we looked like tourists.... in case you didn't know Andy went to the Snappy Lunch and ate porkchop sandwiches.

On Sunday we went to church at Agape Faith Church in Clemmons, NC. I'm starting to really like that church...(if Jesse will just stop jumping over purple ribbons.)

After church we drove out to Yadkin County to look at some neighborhoods out there. We found one that we liked....then we went to a park and Lester and Jesse passed football. We had lunch at Monte De Rey...a mexican restaurant. It was very good, I had Chicken Nachos Fajitas.
