Flying

Its been a busy past week and I seriously can't believe its already Friday but thank the Lord for miracles! J comes home tonight after a seriously long week at the beach job site, I can't wait to see him!

Work has been pretty nutty this week and has stressed me out way more than normal. My boss says I need to learn to let stuff roll off my back... I'm learning, slowly. We calculated it and I think I have made my 3rd quarter which is truly a blessing because I am in serious need of the commission it will bring!

I found this in my York office last week and it came on a day when it was much needed, seems like God didn't let me find til just the right time! I love little surprises like this from J. He's very, very sneaky sir.

I bought a cute little purple Nine West bag from Ross to carry all my crap in instead of asking J to hold everything. Plus with the new huge phone it helps as well. I was so proud of my purchase, it was even on sale!

The roomate and I went to meet Nicholas Sparks but were turned away since we have already purchased our books previously from Walmart. The people at the Barnes and Noble at the Arboretum were jerks.

Short

So, it seems I've started to only blog once a week. I'm going to try to change that, key word is try. How have you been? Its Wednesday again and I can't believe we are already on 'hump' day. Few things to sum up the past week:

1.) Praise the Lord for Labor Day and the long weekend, much needed and appreciated. We went to the Cabin this weekend and shot guns and rode four wheelers. I felt like a true red neck but we discovered I'm very much the sharp shooter with a .22 and a scope, ha.

2.) My Slim Fast diet, not going so smoothly. I get hungry a lot. And I cheat on Slim Fast, a lot. Ugh, I'm praying for dedication and perservation.

3.) I got a new roomate yesterday, my roomate Stephanie got a dog. He's a teacup chihauhau and she has decided to name him Mr. Big.

4.) Work has been a little discouraging. Mary told me that our publisher thinks I'm being spread too thin because percentages are down. After looking at everything its only because some of our big hitters have pulled out and I'm not even handeling those. Oh well, there's a reason they've given me this position and I'm trying my hardest. Mary and I figured out that I need to make 18% more in September in order to make the 3rd quarter, prayers are much appreciated!

5.) Finally, J's company has rented their workers a beach house to stay in for the specific job sit they're on and each of the guys has their own room.I'm taking a half day on Friday and a half day on Monday and heading to the beach on Friday at noon and coming back on Monday morning and coming straight to work! I'm so excited to see him and get a little bit of time away from home, otherwise I wouldn't see Jeremy for over 2 weeks, which would stink really badly.

Ridiculous...

Happy Wednesday to everyone! The past week has literally flown by and I can't believe its already the middle of the work week, but praise the Lord for that.

Work: I didn't end up meeting my August goal, which stunk. But Mary and I think I can make up for it in September, its looking that this month is going to ROCK! I'm very excited and its got me really pumped up to work as hard as I can to do it to make my entire quarter goal. Its been a process getting used to working in Lake Wylie AND York/Clover but I'm slow but surely adjusting and its been incredible so far. The Best of the Lake is coming up and I'm hoping to get $4000 out of it for the paper!

Home: I had a make up consultation last night with Angie Hawkins, a Mary-Kay consultant. She does wedding make up for the bride and brides mades the day of the wedding at a pretty dicounted rate as compared to others that I've talked to. She's a great sales(wo)man as well and I realized that there is a lot I can learn from her as well as show Mom with her jewlery business. Rachel and J's Mom came over and it was a lot fun just to hang out, I haven't been doing that enough recently with people. I've become quite the homebody in the past few weeks. Amber invited me over for dinner tonight and I am so excited to see her as its been a few weeks!

Love: J is working near Wilmington, NC this week on an army base and he has been in the heat a lot, he's been exhausted all week especially since he's been going into work every day at 6am. Hurricane Earl is approaching where they are pretty quickly but we're praying that the storm goes away completely so he can get in some good overtime this week. I'm also not sure when he's coming either, which really flat out sucks especially since Labor Day weekend is this weekend and I get Monday off. Earlier this week, he had me go and look at some rings that Stacey suggested we go and look at and I think I've found THE RING! I've also decided I'm tired of looking at rings and that from here on out he gets to decide, ring shopping is very overwhelming for me. I gave him two options and I've left it in his hands, I know that he'll make the right decision!
