Elizabeth’s World

My parents have sold their home (well they have a closing date).  They are closing on July 30th but they can’t move until the following week.  This is all very good news!!  My dad has accepted a job in my mothers office in Lincoln and will be headed down there in August.

I’m very excited to have them closer and maybe I will finally get my digital camera.  My dad had not mastered his new one yet so he was unwilling to give up his old one. :)  But hopefully a visit from my brother enlightened him on how to use the new camera.

I am super excited for my trip to lake powell next week!!  I will post photos when I get back.

Well, I’m back at the library and on a library PC. I believe I got here before all the pre-teens have awoken from there summer sleep-in slumber.  I have to use the library’s PC when I want to print.  Yes, yes I realize that from a technology stand point (lisa-ism) I live in 1982 at home.  No cable, internet and my printer really doens’t work well.

I head to Nebraska tomorrow so I doubt there will be a day 3-5 update, please don’t cry!!

I sit here at my local public library with my now working laptop (well worth the $250).  I am optimisticabout what God has for me.  I got a lot done today and now I must head to the grocery store before heading to the great Bonefish Grill.

My one funny rant about the public library and the necessity of your own laptop.  As a few of you may know this is not my first time being laid off and I seem to be laid off in the summer months.  This can be a blessing an curse.  For the library is swarming with bored out of school kids.  What are they doing during the summer, running outside enjoying there freedom?!?!  No, why they are updating their myspace pages and playing games online in the library.  My issue is I have to wait for them to get off of the library PC’s so I can look for a job.  And when there is a wait for PC’s you only get 30 min. and then you have to get off and reserve another PC.  This can be very trying when you are in the middle of a good job search or you are applying for a job and are forced off by pre-teens wanting to download songs onto their itunes.  Now don’t get me wrong I think they should have their time but come on they need there own set PC’s so tax payers like me can find a job and continue to pay taxes so they (and myself) can continue to use the PC’s for free at the library!

OK that is all for today.  I’m off to by food so I don’t eat out.

My mom will be here on Friday and I’m uber excited!!  She is also bringing me a digital camera so I can add more photos to my blog.

That is all.

Well as many of my normal readers (meaning the only people that know about my blog) know I have been laid off.  My last day being employed will be June 13th.  Part of me is really excited but I’m also a realist who hates debt and is still in the process of paying of debt from my last 2 lay offs.

I really got myself laid off by being honest with my employer and letting them know I was looking for another job and had 1 really good interview.  So I got added to the lay off list.  Really it isn’t all bad maybe this is the kick in the pants I needed to get back into my field of study TV production.  It is just a tough road and ugh I don’t want to.  Also I’m blessed to have a pretty good paying part time job waiting tables so I should be able to take my time to find a job I love.

So everyone pray!!  I am looking forward to having some time off when the weather is nice.  I reminds me of last summer.

I saw this on a car today and laughed.

So I spent a few hours cleaning and organizing this weekend.  And well most of it was filing stuff which is time consuming and boring it is made better by watching Twin Peaks.  It can be painful and a bit scary for me.  I seem to be running across things that A either belong to “the person that will not be named” or B photos of us.  Yuck!!  So I pull out the box I have that contains things from “the person that will not be named” and stick the photos in the box.  I really don’t want to be that bitter crazy girl that destroys all the evidence of a relationship.  I’m sure at some point I will throw the contents of the shoe box away but for now it lives in my spare bedroom closet.  A few weeks ago I found 5 envelopes of photos that belong to him.  They were of the trip we met on to Morocco and Spain.  I had intended to put some sort of photo book together for him as a gift but they really weren’t that good.  I set the project aside before we broke up and forgot I had the photos.  So when I found them I did the good and decent thing and put them in the mail and sent them too him.  I bring this up only because it was confirmed to me that he is going on the latest MHM trip to Egypt.  I find this a bit odd he will be going with a good number of people that love me and are for lack of a better way to put it “on my side”.  I wonder if anyone will bring us up to him and what he will say.  He just baffles me and I just don’t know how to classify my feelings about him.  So because everyone got a kick out of the last photo of us I posted I thought I would put up another one.  This is us on Navy pier. 

So much to my amusement, it snowed today.  Yes on May 1st we got big, fluffy, wet snow.  It just made me giggle.  It was 82 here yesterday, yes 82 was the official temp in Denver.  Today it is 32 currently at 3:21PM.  This snow did not make my office mate Josh smile.  He has friends in from out of town and this isn’t very fun to come on vacation to.  Well I like it!  It really doesn’t cause me much issues and it will back to 70 by Sunday.

Fun shopping times with Kelli!  So I was surfing the net the other day and I came across an ad for Sarah Jessica Parkers clothing line.  So I looked it up and it is sold only at Steve & Barry’s everything in her line is $19.95 or cheaper!!  So I thought what a fun day for Kelli and I, Kelli loves to shop!  Plus they were running a deal that everything in the store was $8.98 (yes everything!!) so it was fun times!  We shopped the day away.  Sarah Jessica’s line is called Bitten and it is ok, its great for basics like jeans and tees.  So I blew all the money I made at Bonefish on Friday at the mall on Saturday!!! :)  Fun times.

So you may or may-not know that I am waiting tables PT.  This is a first for me and it is very interesting to say the least.  It is not easy and my previous respect for servers has totally gone up.  Well, the serving world is fun to observe.  I consider myself an outsider since I’m only PT and this is my first time.  There is a lot of drama with the FOH (front of house) staff and granted I have to bash my own sex for a minute since the majority of the FOH staff are female.  A good majority of them talk trash about each other behind each other’s backs and there is quite a bit of whining about who gets tables and that sort of stuff.  I do have to say that not all the servers I work with work as hard as some and some are truly slackers.  But I try to keep it to myself and move on.  This is not the case with the majority of my co-workers.  On that note the men are just as whiny as the females in this department.

As for the BOH (back of house i.e. people making your food) they are all men and they yell and cuss each other out and I have seen at least 1 fight broken up.  So it is all very interesting to watch.  The testosterone in the back and the estrogen in the front.

You should come and eat at my Bonefish Grill, yummy!!!
