Who needs sleep?


Or money for that matter!! Can I just say that this week has been one of ups and downs. Since seminary started I've gotten very little sleep. But Tuesday night topped it all off!! I decided to help out my ward (for various reasons) and go to the cannery here to help can tomatoes. Too bad the shift began at 9:30 pm and didn't get over until 1:30 pm!! I was soo tired when I got home, but it was still kind of fun!! We got to seperate tomatoes into good peeled ones and bad peeled ones. A friend of mine and I even got into a tomatoe war throwing tomatoes at each other (don't worry, it was only a few)!! I didn't finally get to sleep that night until 2 am and had to wake up at 5 am. Talk about the living dead. That's what I felt like all day. Hopefully I can make up for it it this week sometime!! Then on top of that bills are starting to be due and I have to worry about how I am going to pay for them. It has been stressful and not fun to deal with, but its helping me to become the adult that I should. I did get to go to the temple yesterday although the speaker broke and we had to sit for 20 minutes while they tried to fix it. They finally just read the script. It was quite an experience. The crazy things that happen in my week!!

Like Father, Like Daughter!


So, since both my dad and I have hard a time getting full time steady jobs, we end up doing a lot of job hunting and applying for jobs together. We both needed some immediate cash and mom found a job on craig's list for the California State Fair. We both applied to work in concessions at the fair and got the job. We both got the job and worked for about 15 days as cashiers and pouring beer (the lovely benefits of working for the fair)!! It was fun and we had fun traveling to and from work together and sharing news of the crazy people we worked with!! It has definitely helped to build a closer relationship between us!! And we got into the fair free whenever we wanted. How bad can that be?!
