Relationship status...

I find them pointless really... But, if you are in an actually relationship well... Yeah. I guess I am... I called him mine and yeah. He is. So with that explained. He's coming over for dinner to meet the parents. My dad won't let us go out till he meet's him. So I'm a little nervous. Never really done this before... We are having chicken and I'm making a pumpkin cake. He lovesssssss pumpkin : )

How's work? well... I have to work open - 3pm... so 6:30- 3pm I don't know if I'm ready for that yet... Please pray for me. I really hope I can make it... Busy busy week.....................

Lord help me...

Christmas is when?!?!

I have some free time so I felt like blogging about how I can't believe Christmas is only 2 days away!
I just finished wrapping my presents because... Sigh I have to work tomorrow night... Yup I kind of don't want to lol. I will though. Might get to close early! Woot! Anyways, what's goin on? Thanks you sooo much for askings :)

Well this didn't take long hehe. I gots me a guy friend... tehehe. He's such a gentleman. I can't believe it. I am kinda happy :) Not going to bore with details. Hope you like my new fav song :)

I'm having a very good day...

So I wanted to find even more laughs so here they are :D


People don't believe magic exists..


I was all like...
I

Need I say more?


Then They went all




NOW DANCE

What will I do with my first paycheck?

Thanks for asking!

I will setup my Navy Fed account and put half of it away. Give 10% offering. Make a little side fund for rainy days or just when I want to blow lots of moneyz. Then... I will go shopping. To Victoria's Secret. Why you might ask... Well I like the perfume. What can I say I'm a sucker for perfume ; )
Then I will probably go to ulta and use my coupons. I'm also a sucker for coupons. I get one so I HAVE to use it! Maybe get a dress from Forever 21. I could use a new dress.

The bad part about it is... I still have to work... Hahahahahahahahahaha

My brother said that I can't have a final opinion on if I like work or not till I've worked there for 3 or 4 weeks. Well It'll be 3 weeks tomorrow. Maybe I'll blog about it maybe not...

I need to stop injuring myself!

So I don't know if you know this yet but...

I have a job. It requires making subs, toasting them, cutting them, and so on and so forth.

Well, I've already managed to injury myself multiple times... I burnt my hand taking out cookies (I should have worn both mits). I cut the top of my thumb in my lame attempt to open a bag containing mayo I literally cut a little shy of a half inch . Today I burnt the top of my right ring finger pretty good (I touched the edge of the toaster... Sad Face) it hurts like crap! Oh and so does my thumb!

They started me making subs this week. It's going okay. I doubt they will put me on making subs during the lunch hour any time soon though. I'm learning how to work the night shift as well. I personally like the night shift mucho better than the weekday lunch shift! Thank goodness I have Sunday off! I worked today too... ergo the burnt finger. I work the night shift Monday and the lunch shift Tuesday then ladies and gents I start my 3rd week!!! Woah! Time flies! Bzzzz... The one thing I am not looking forward to is making bread... Oh my lanta. I'm lucky I can even cut the bread let alone make it!

Can't wait to get paid too. I would go into detail but I won't. I'm lazy. I feel kinda like an adult! Can't wait to have my first bank account! We will probably get that done this next week. Watch out world I will have a credit card!

Well... Sorry this was so long I kinda had allot to talk about. Once I start getting into a groove with my job you will hear less and less about it ; )

So I am kinda a busy person...

I felt like writing in red. lolololol. So, a few months ago I had been wishing for a busier life and well I got it. My date book is full right now. Seriously. Who woulda thought!?!? I know right. Me busy. I like it. I'm happy to have already made a friend from work. Other than that I have 2 babysitting jobs this weekend and work. Oh my.I will have to miss my Daddy's birthday party. Sorry daddy :( Ugh fortunately though I have Friday off so I won't have to work before babysitting job #1. But, the challenge will come Saturday. I have to work at the time when everyone in my house is well... "busy." Then about 2 hours after work I gotta babysit again. Then Hallelujah I have Sunday off :D then monday and tuesday and so on an so forth... I'm getting tired. I really hope this very dry skin on my hands clears up really soon. Getting kinda worried about it. Oh, and I got my flu shot and stuff. I'm not taking any chances handling germy money. Yuck!

Life...

Oh my lanta. So I've worked at Subway for a week. I like it. I'm getting the hang of it plus I think after this week it will be a routine sadly. I can't wait till payday haha! I'm supper excited getting a bank account and having dare I say... Credit Card. Whoa. Fortunately I don't have to worry about being a real adult till next year ; ) next step buying a car. It'll be awhile till I get there. So I told my friend who is jobless and was saying about how he can't find a job. I comforted him by saying something like this... Wait a minute look at the bright side. All you have to do is go to school. I have school, work, and house work. On top of that I have to pay taxes, file taxes, and save half of my paycheck for school... Needless to say that conversation was over quickly and back to the latest viral joke.

I haven't blogged in awhile so I think I will post another one with other stuffs.... Blech

Lordy help me!

So I'm watching a Hallmark movie...

Never again...

New Job...

First off I cannot tell you how happy I am with my job.

Can't believe I can actually say that! Ah! Almost done with my first week. Exciting stuff.

I'm lucky enough to have very nice co-workers. 

A great manager.

Also, it doesn't hurt that I'm awesome...

Anyways, it hasn't been perfect though. Had a few mishaps.

My first day I gave a lady the wrong change... sigh it was fixed though :)

Yesterday was good near perfect except I had to do 2 cash drops and I didn't know where to put it but for some reason it didn't occur to me when it happened that I put it in the wrong place.

Today well there wasn't any problems like that. (I worked the night shift) But, I had a butt load of dishes and I was going a little slow. There was a butt load of dishes! Once, the manager told me "Wake up Mary!" (not necessarily her words but you get it right?) I got the dishes done in like 15 minutes after that. Thank God.

I'm not saying I was right on any of these accounts. I am thinking about it now and I am 100% sure I am in the wrong on all of these accounts. I have learned many lessons already :) all I have to do now is learn how to make subs :)

I'm so lucky to have a patient manager :)

If not well... I would be in trouble.

I now know that you CANNOT be slow when working at subway especially at lunch time and closing :D

Oh and I have a nickname... Cinnamon haha dunno why Brian picked it.

Well I won't bore you anymore.

LATER!

Today was worth it...

I got's a job!!!!! :D

How was my day?

Thanks for asking... Freaking horrible... yeah no joke. My Camera was stolen.... Just found out the deadline for a project I'm doing is oh 2 weeks away (you might think that's not horrible but trust me if you knew it would matter soooo much more) I've been on the verge of tears all day...  Thankfully I had all of my pictures on my computer... But, I hope whoever stole it see's the pictures of my missions trip and Christmas etc.. I want them to feel bad :( OH and I have to go to PA to go pick up my grandma... Oh my lanta I don't think I'll make it :/ I can't sleep without having a bad dream lately so I'm trying to avoid it but I succumb to sleep eventually. I'm just sad at the moment........................ Sad Face

The Best Baking Book Ever?!?!?!?

This book is the key to my baking greatness... Honestly! No lie. I made the most amazing cookies and bars from this book. It's at my local library so I would recommend checking your local library before you purchase this specific book. I will post a recipe from each book I like and love (hopefully) here soon. Now, this isn't the healthiest cookbook in the world...But! If you want bakery quality cookies I would strongly recommend this book. On the plus side all the recipes are very easy on the wallet! You will already have half of the ingredients at home and the rest will be products from Pillsbury.

My current Fav baking book is now allot healthier than the one above.

 

Now I know allot of diabetics. They love sweets but they can't eat 'em. Well, I'm going to break that cycle ASAP! I not only think that eating sugar free and low sugar foods are better for you and when they taste just as good... Needless to say I'm hooked.

Here is a recipe that is amazing. Literally you will not miss the sugar AT ALL! (I'm kinda excited :) 

Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake

Hope this helps :)

Happy Baking :)

Getting Ready For Winter Body Care Edition!

Okay it's that time of year again... I love it and hate it.

Pros: Snow, Christmas, The Music, The Food, The Family time, THE SHOPPING, The Gift Giving, The Gift Getting, and of course the most important of all and the reason for the season The birth of Jesus Christ.

Cons: Dry Skin, dry scalp, the shoveling of the snow, the cold, the dry scalp, and did I mention dry skin???

I could go on but I don't want to bore ya'll.

My scalp and skin reacts to the changes in seasons. I already have 5 Dry patches of skin! UGH

My top products for the winter season are all going to be in separate posts so that you are able to look at the specific items you are thinking of buying or what's more important to you.

Body Care

St. Ives Lotion. My top pick for converting you scented lotions for the smell except your going more for moisture. I love the lotions because they are inexpensive, great quality, and are very natural products that won't leave a greasy feeling on your skin. I would also recommend a matching body wash to maximize your soothing lotion intake.

To find the ideal products take St. Ives Skin Profiler!

 http://www.stives.com/Skin-Profiler/

Also the lotion and body wash should be corresponding in packaging so it should look something like this.

Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie!

Now, I know this isn't typical but I made a pact with myself to start baking with no sugar only splenda... Now I don't have any pictures but trust me it was AMAZING! The only sugar in this pie is the natural sugar from the pumpkin. I use the canned pumpkin pie by Libby's. You just follow the directions on the back of the can. Use the Fat Free condensed milk instead of 2% or whole milk. This will lower the fat content. Also, you can use both cans but you don't have to use all of it. You can choose if you want both cans or 1 full can and 80% of the 2nd can. Instead of sugar use Splenda. :)The Pie is really great warm (also I used sugar free cool whip) but, it's even better cold!
