Study Time!

2 days left in the 2nd week of training.  Pizza has been so much fun and the guys are doing a great job training me.  The remind me a lot of my home store.  I told one of them today that I was slow and he said SH*T you have only worked 2 days!!!  I loved that response.  I made a lot more pizzas today and helped a little with prep.  Now I am taking a break from studying because everything is starting to look the same.  I know more than I thought I knew and I am noticing some patterns that will help me.  I have to take a test on Saturday and I won't settle for doing OK!  I want to be PERFECT....it's a reflection of all those that have thought me through the stores (MacArthur and Short Pump)!

As for the house hunting I think that I found a place.  It's a townhouse not far from work and just amazing.  I had my heart set on an apartment until I saw this BAD BOY!  I fell in LOVE!  It's 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and has the most amazing kitchen.  The cabinets and everything are black, which goes with the colors that I want to make my home.  After I was APPROVED for my new home, I went window shopping.  I found the colors for my bathroom at Home Goods.  They had some bathroom towels that were brown, teal and purple.  It ties everything together!  I can't wait to decorate!

Well back to studying! 

More Training

I have had some great days at work.  Some long days but some really great days.  I have started training on pizza this week.  I am speaking and understanding a little more Spanish every day.  I am impressed with myself!  I knew a lot more than I thought on pizza and don't think it will be all that rough the rest of the week.  I am a little worried about the testing this weekend but I know I can do it.  I have started studying and will spend the next couple days studying some more. 

I also did some apartment shopping today.  I think I found the place I want to move too.  It's a little more than I wanted to spend but it's just amazing how wonderful it will be.  I want to have a second room for those people that tell me they want to visit and I want some scrapbook space.  Scrapbooking will be my relaxation and it will save me money on gifts to friends and family. 

I am also shopping for a gym, I need to get back into the groove of things.  The apartment I am staying in has a gym but I don't feel comfortable walking into a dark empty building.  They also have a tanning bed and I should at least use that while I am here.  I went to a local gym to get information and they couldn't give me information because nobody was there to provide the information.  It's a 24 gym which would be great for me in the evening.  I may try and see how far away the Gold's Gym is, I really enjoyed going there.  Well it's time for bed and sleepy-sleep.  Another day on pizza with some amazing guys and one EAGER WOMAN!

Day 2 - 6AM is EARLY!!!

So I got up at 6am for work and BOY was it early!!!!  I had a good day at work and learned a few new things and reviewed old things.  I met new people from my NEW team!  I really like the independence of this team, not that I didn't enjoy the need for me with my OLD team!  I met a bar regular which reminded me of the wonderful people that have been my regulars.  They made work so worth going!!  OH YEAH....I didn't eat at work, which is a good thing!

I was very proud of myself for not eating at work and coming home to eat an amazing dinner.  I came home and cooked some orange chicken from Trader Joe's (the best ever and a great option for Chinese food).  After eating a small portion of my orange chicken I fell asleep on the couch and took a nap that was way to long.  I needed the nap but I need to quickly adjust to the early mornings and learn to manage the STUDY time at home. 

I will be going home to watch some of my favorite men play hockey on Saturday night!  I am extremely excited to see the men in action.  They are a reward for a hard week of work.  I will have to send my mom a list of my must haves, I need a lot of things from home and don't feel the need to spend anymore money on things that I have at home.

The home search is a continuing effort.  The are beautiful places in the area but when I went to CVS I saw some more places to check out.  I have to come to the realization that I am making more money now and can afford something a little more expensive and beautiful.  I think that I am going to live in the Short Pump area, they have everything that you need and more.  I am ready for a place of my own that I can call home.  This apartment is nice but I want my furniture and my scrap space.
