Today the weather was stunning. I went to Poca Middle to sub for Ms. Richards. The kids were so sweet and all happy to see me. I missed them! (I should say, SOME of them...hehe) It was good to see all the teachers too.
After that....I came home and ran outside. It was lovely. :) Jesse and I grilled burgers and then went to the valley park just to walk around a bit. When we got there, Sarah, Jay, and Caylan were there with their friends Jackie, Eric and their daughter, Madison. So we talked to them and I played with Caylan a little bit.
Then Jesse went to go workout at Ty's house (which is where he is right now) and I drove my little butt over to the Teays Valley McDonald's to get me a vanilla cone. It was a tasty 150 calories....just wish I had another!
Tomorrow I'm going to be at Winfield Middle again....for the same lady!! She's not been to school for 2 weeks! I think I'm going to get lunch at McDonald's tomorrow!! yummmm... I'm thinking grilled honey mustard snack wrap and a fruit & yogurt parfait.....or maybe a grilled southwest salad. Those are so good!

doing nothing...still busy
Lately I haven't been working (because I'm waiting for Putnam Co. to get me set up in their substitute teacher system!) but I still feel like I've been very busy. Its funny but I find more time to blog when I'm working.
I can't wait to get it all up and running. I need some more business!! :) Let me know if anyone wants a MURAL!!
Also.... please notice that I have placed a "Followers" gadget on my blog. Its in the top-ish right hand corner-ish. If you read my blog... click the link, its pretty cool!! Thanks!
So...this week has been fun! I enjoy not working..hahaha.
On Monday... which was Labor Day... We all (Jesse's family) went to Jesse's Mom's house in Charleston..... We had a cook-out and swam in the pool. A bunch of them (not me) took rides on John's 6-wheeler out in the woods. It was a good time.
After that...we all came back to Teays Valley and the boys played baseball at the Valley Park. While that was going on some of the ladies took Luke (Mike & Alyson's dog) over to the Wave Pool for the Annual Dog Swim. It was CRAZY over there! I never would have imagined that SOOOOOO many people would bring their dog to swim in a pool. It was so crowded...there were dogs jumping over the edge....fetching floaty toys...crapping in the shallow end!...it was insane. You couldn't have paid me to get in that water.
On Tuesday.... Jesse and I went to the library and then we hung out with his Mom who was babysitting Caylan at Sarah & Jay's house. On Tuesday night I made (a healthier version of)Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Casserole and a delicious salad. It was all so good, in fact, that we decided to have leftovers on Wednesday night too.
On Wednesday I decided that I wanted to drive to Marshall so I could use their computers. I needed a web publishing program and access to my V-drive. I want to make a website for my new Mural Painting business that I'm calling "Murals By Erin" (Even though its against the acceptable use policy at Marshall to host a business website on their server, Ooops!....its only temporary... I'm going to buy a domain name eventually)
Well, I made a website and it looks really REALLY good ( I think) but when I got home and tried to pull it up the links don't work.
If you are curious...you can view the sites...just realize that the links don't work.
I can't wait to get it all up and running. I need some more business!! :) Let me know if anyone wants a MURAL!!

I gotta job...sorta
Today was a good day!
I went to my "interview" this morning in Winfield. The lady told me that I was going to be the candidate recommended for the Community Education/Art position that I bid on the other day! Wahooo! That was the fifteen dollar an hour one. Better than nothing I guess.... and I can still sub, too. The only catch is that enough people have to sign up to take it.
The interview wasn't really an interview at all... They just had to explain a few things and have me fill out some paperwork. Oh, and I had to get fingerprinted again.
Just in case I committed some heinous crime since the last time I got fingerprinted--90 days ago.
After that I changed clothes and went to Sarah's house to paint Caylan's walls. I had a good time painting. I watched a marathon of CSI on Spike while I painted. I think I saw at least 4 and a half episodes. I was there from 11 to 4:30. It actually turned out really well. It looks better than I even thought it would. After that Caylan called and was so pumped! Her exact words were, "I love it"
When I got home, I ran 4.5 miles.. Then I cooked a late dinner.... Mom's recipe for Meatballs , mashed potatoes, and Irish soda bread, yummy!
Tomorrow a.m I'm going back to Sarah's to finish up my mural painting duties. :)

have I given up on the blog?
Jesse looked at me tonight and said..."I guess you've given up on the blog?" and I said "No, there's just not a lot going on right now"
So I haven't been writing a lot lately..... but really I've just been going to Cracker Barrel, coming home, exercising with Jessica, running, making dinner, and then going to bed.
Last night, though, Jesse and I went to his sister Sarah's house. His grandfather had a heart attack this weekend so a lot of his family was in...some from out of state. So they all got together last night at Sarah's. We hung out for awhile on Sarah and Jay's back deck.
After that I came home and watched So You Think You Can Dance. I was very happy with Joshua's performances! and then tonight on the results show...he made it on to the FINALE next week!
Tomorrow I have to work from 9 to 3 and I'm kinda depressed that I have to wake up that early! Someone asked me if I could come in earlier..at 7 am! I said, "Don't think I can do that" 7 am is WAY too early, that would mean I'd have to leave here at 6:30!
I guess I better go to bed now.

Tuesday, Wednesday...now Thursday
Tuesday I worked at the barrel again from 10 to 4. We stayed pretty busy. I think the B'ville CB gets a lot more business than the Clemmons CB. I made 75 dollars. I rarely made that much at Clemmons.
It was weird being at the Barrel again....because now it feels like I was never gone.
After CB Jessica came over and we worked out again. We did the Jillians DVD that I have...hehehe....we did both levels 1 and 2. I think I might have killed her!! hahaha!
Wednesday I had the day off! Jesse and I just kinda hung out, sat around the house, played on the computer, and listened to music. Then we went to Wal-Mart and after that I made dinner...Spicy Orange Chicken Stir-fry with Brown Rice and lotsa veggies!
After dinner Jesse said, "Lets go for a walk." So we drove over to the Valley Park and as we were getting out of our car and walking toward the trails, we hear someone yell out Jesse's name!
It was Sarah, Jay and Caylan over at the playground at the bottom of the hill! I played with Caylan a little and then we went to TCBY to get some yogurt together. I got Cake Batter it was good, but I think I should have got the orange sherbet instead. Oh well....maybe they'll have it next time! Needless to say...we didn't go for our walk. :) but thats ok!!
I watched So You Think You Can Dance last night while I ran on the treadmill. I ran 7.25 miles and then walked another mile after that. I'm a little sore this morning. If I have something good to watch, I could almost run forever!!!
I was happy that my favorite dancers did well last night. I like Joshua and Katee but I'm starting to like Chelsea more and more. If I could pick the top 4 it would be Joshua, Katee, Chelsea, and Will.
Now I am getting ready to go upstairs and get ready for another day of work. yippee! Jessica is coming to work out again tonight... I think we are gonna do a Tae-Bo or a power yoga video today.

rain wind and fire
I will say that I had a memorable fourth of July!
At first Jesse and I just hung around the house because it was really dreary and rainy outside. My parents visited us for the first time at our new place...but just for a few minutes.
Then Brian called and wanted us to come to their house in Winfield for a little cookout. We had burgers, fries, and chicken.
After we hung out with them for awhile we came over to our house...and then we went over to Teresa's (Jesse's Mom) apartment and met up with pretty much all of Jesse's family. Then we walked over to the Wave Pool Park for the fireworks. They started at 9:45 pm...and the rain started at 9:50 pm. In those first five minutes I had some great feelings of patriotism. Its amazing to me that Americans have been celebrating with fireworks for over 200 years!
Anyway...right after that thought we had to scramble to our feet and hold a thick, fleece blanket over our head. When the fireworks were done we had to walk all the way back through flooded ditches. I was really glad that I wore my white flip-flops. (sarcasm) WE WERE SOAKED!!
After the fireworks and the traffic died down we came back to our house with Brian and Jessica. They spent the night with us. We stayed up late playing a board game that I bought at the Goodwill in Winston, called "Battle of the Sexes." It was pretty fun. I guess it was worth the 3 bucks I paid for it...even though the boys won.
Today was a lazy, hang around the house day. I made whole wheat pancakes for breakfast. They were not very good. I need a better recipe.
After that I went for a jog outside. It was a good run today. My knees didn't hurt. Since my knees have been hurting lately I decided it was time to FINALLY get some new running shoes. I bought them at Zappos.com. They should be delivered here on Monday!! I'm very excited. Here's a link to them. I liked the ones with the green swoosh on the side, but they didn't have them in my size. So I got the pink ones.
After the run I painted one of the canvases I bought for Jesse. I really hated the way it turned out. Blah..I gotta think of somehow else to do it so it will work.
For dinner tonight I made a whole wheat crust pizza (As you can probably tell I am experimenting with the whole wheat flour I bought for the first time the other day) The dough turned out pretty good. This was the first time I've ever attempted to make my own pizza dough at all. It was actually very easy...at least with this recipe. Next...whole wheat banana bread! YUM!!

soooo sleeeepy........
Oh gee....where to start.
This weekend... Jesse and I drove home on Friday evening after I got home from work at Cracker Barrel. We got to my parents house and Jesse dropped me off...and he went to play basketball with Brian. I ate lasagna and a salad that my Mom made.
After dinner my Dad built a fire in their fire bowl and we sat around outside talking for awhile.
On Saturday morning Jesse woke up and went to the Y with Brian. I woke up and went shopping at South Ridge with my Mom. I bought 3 shirts, some pj's, and a bathing suit...YAY! I'm not totally in love with this bathing suit, but I like it... I think I'm gonna keep the tags on in case I find something that I like better. Or, I may just get 2 new bathing suits this year. I haven't had a new suit for at least 2 years, maybe longer!!
My Mom also bought me 2 new pairs of shoes....a really cute pair of brown dress shoes..and a pair of Ked's brown tennis shoe looking things. I decided that I have to start shopping at Shoe Carnival more now..cause they actually carry my size, 5 1/2!! YAY!
On Saturday night, Jesse and I went to Sarah and Jay's house to watch the UFC fight. We had a good time. We got there early so we could see Caylan before she went to bed. There were a lot of people there... (Me & Jesse, Bekah & Jeremy, Brian & Jessica, Sarah & Jay, Eric & Jackie, and Jay's friend, Josh.)
Sunday morning we went to church at Maranatha. Then we went back to my parents house for dinner, Lemon Pepper Chicken!
After that we went over to Brian and Jessica's and the boys dug up bushes from their front yard.
They were filthy!!
Then we all went over to Teays Valley so that we could meet up with Mike & Allyson and their whole family, including dogs. Sarah and Jay came too. The boys played basketball and soccer while the girls talked and the kids played on the playground.
On Monday Jesse and I made it back here to Winston.
Today has been tiring. I'm really sleepy now. I got to sleep in, went to Cracker Barrel from 11 to 2:30. I won the Strawberry Pecan Salad selling contest, so I got a free dinner. I got the Chile Jack Chicken and ate about 1/2 of it, even though I wasn't hungry. I didn't train today, but I'm training tomorrow and Thursday.
When I got home I did some laundry and ran on the treadmill... I went crazy today. I ran 5.64 miles in an hour. That's probably why I'm so tired now!
I took a shower..played around on facebook then went upstairs to watch Idol with Holli. I thought the 2 Davids were REALLY GREAT! I predict that Brooke and Jason will be in the bottom this week. I think its Brooke's turn to go home.
Now I'm gonna go get in the bed...watch Law & Order: SVU and then go to sleep!!
