Amarillo Yesterday

Got my new gauges!  I forgot to take a picture with the vamp ones yesterday, but here's my tiger striped ones:

Super cute, right?

Ben and I went to Amarillo yesterday with the express purpose of picking up my laptop from Best Buy.

While we were there, we:

1. Got drinks from Starbucks.
2. Went to World Market and got some gnochi, chips, salsa, and a big wok skillet.
3. Went to Old Navy where I found 2 new pairs of skinny jeans that make my legs look great and are actually tight around my ankles. (HUZZAH!) They were on sale for $25 and then the lady in the fitting rooms gave me a coupon for 25% off!Jeans that were normally $30 a piece ended up costing me $40 total for both!
2. Went to PetSmart, got some stuff for Margot. I swear, Ben spoils that cat to death.
3. Went to the mall and got some free undies from Victoria's Secret. I love those damn coupons they send out in the mail.
4. Walked around the mall seeing if there was anything else I wanted. Ended up going into Payless and buying a super cute new purse.
5. Went into Wet Seal, but came out empty handed.(It's hard to shop with a boy)
6. Got dinner at Chick-fil-a (YUM!  Wish there was one closer to where I live!)
7. Picked up my laptop from Best Buy. At first, the guy working couldn't find it. I almost had to become enraged because they've called me like once a day for the past 5 days (ummm, hello, I live 2 hours away, it's not like I live across the street!) and then if they couldn't find it....well, it would have been REALLY bad for them.

When we got back, we let the pups out, petted all the animals, and then headed over to Lynell's house cause her sister and brother-in-law are in town. For the most part, I guess it was OK, but MAN....sometimes the conversations people have are so damn boring.  I find myself zoning out because a lot of these people have NOTHING of value to say.

Today, Ben and I are having a lazy day. (That's our Sunday ritual)
We're going to start watching Dexter, but he's been on the phone all morning, so I'm just waiting patiently.

Now for some more wishlist stuff:

IT'S THE WEEKEND!

This weekend is much needed.  Working with 3 year olds is really....tiring.

A few people here in town are going to the high school football game tonight.  What I don't understand is that all of these people DON'T like the town we're in AND we're military.  WHY would you want to go surround yourself with the unwashed and rude crowd that will be at the game?  I can understand going to one in your own home town, but HERE??!!  

The only positive is that everyone will be there instead of at the movies where Ben and I will be.  *knock on wood*

ANYWAY

Going to Amarillo tomorrow to pick up my laptop from Best Buy.  Those asshats better have gotten everything taken care of this time or I'm going to flip my lid.  

Is it honestly THAT hard to do your job?  From the looks of some of the people working there, I guess I just answered my own question.  

Day 3 of COD in my living room...

...and I'm officially bored of it.

I'd much rather sit back and watch a movie with Ben instead of listening to gunshots and stuff blowing up.  He's enjoying himself though, so I won't say anything...yet.

According to the USPS, my gauges COULD be here as early as Thursday!  Thank you, Hot Topic, for your super fast processing!

I want this dress...like the only designer thing I've ever seen and thought, "Holy shit, I NEED that."

Too bad it's $25000.

Any crafty people out there want to try and make this for me?  I'd totally pay for it!

Subbing again tomorrow and Friday.  I'm actually enjoying it.  The day is broken up into 2 classes, and usually there's about 6 kids (although there could be as many as 10).  It's a class of developmentally delayed 3 year olds.  Lots of linguistic problems, and I suspect MR in one of the kiddos.  Fun though.  We color, play, run around outside, and I even taught a couple how to pedal on a trike on Tuesday!  

I'm not sure what's going on this weekend, other than going to Amarillo (again) and picking up my laptop.  If Best Buy didn't fix it this time, I'm going to have a conniption fit.

I finally finished all the pet paperwork for Japan today, so I'll be making a trip on base tomorrow to get that all faxed over.  All that's left after that is to make sure they can get booked on whatever flight we get offered and get their 10 day health certificate.  It's a lot of stress and a lot of headache making sure my babies were going to be coming with us, but it's completely worth it!

I'm off to bed, super tired today.  Probably because I:

1. Cleaned the kitchen

2. Dusted

3. Swept

4. Vacuumed

5. Mopped

6. Took pets to vet

7. Took dogs on 2 walks (one was a 2 mile one)

8. Made dinner (okokok, it was just biscuits and gravy, but I still did it!)

9. Did pet paperwork

10. Painted a picture (that I already sold!)

Sold for $20 to a girl out here in New Mexico for her daughter's room

I think that's all. 

Good day Saturday, Lazy day Sunday

Had a lot of fun yesterday in Amarillo.
Got my laptop turned into Best Buy.  Stupid ass old man actually moved from behind me, went beside me, and actually CUT me while we were in line.  Ben says, "You've GOT to be kidding me."  Are we in second grade?  His stuff wasn't even done, they weren't finished with it and hadn't called him about it.  No idea why he was there or why he felt the need to CUT me in line.  I told him he was rude.  However, I did get my stuff turned in and everything is still under warranty!  YAY!

Got my ring cleaned.  Lady there was the same one who had helped me before and was rude again.  Blew her off.  I asked her what I should do since we'll be living in Japan to keep my warranty on my ring.  She says (and this is no joke), "Oh, we have stores in the UK."  I just looked at her all confused.  I said, "Ok, but I'll be living in Japan, not England."  She says (again, no exaggeration), "Well, they're pretty close."  HAHAHAHA, I got a good laugh out of that one.  Also, I thought people who worked in jewelry stores were supposed to be well groomed/dressed.  There was one lady there who had on a skin tight see through white shirt.  I could see her belly button and her skin and her lacy white bra.  Not even a pretty lady either....haha, another good laugh.

Went to Victoria's Secret.  Somehow, this one always manages to not have any small undies in the style that I like. How is that possible?  I mean, I know it is a popular store, but this happens EVERY TIME I go to that particular one.  I've seen the people in Amarillo...there aren't a lot of "smalls" out there. I did find a cute bra and had a $10 off coupon for it.  HOLLER!

Left the mall (no Forever 21 in Amarillo) and drove over to Bed Bath and Beyond.  Ben and I love that freaking store.  Got a HUGE collage frame, a smaller collage frame, some new canisters for our kitchen (we're switching from green to all black and white), a dishsoap dispenser, some plinks, and I think that's it.

I tried to find some stuff at Old Navy, but the only "skinny" jeans they had were not skinny at all.  They made my legs look enormous and the ankles weren't even tight.  Pssh.

Went to PetSmart because we always like to bring back presents to our four leggers, and Ben had already picked out some stuff for Margot.  Here's the haul we brought home for our babies:

 Yeah, they're not spoiled at ALL....

Came home, went out and partied.  Nothing exciting, so no pics to post.

Made a huge brunch today for Ben and our friend Brandon and then we watched Crazy Heart.  Looks like a storm is rolling in which fits this Sunday mood of relaxing and staying in PERFECTLY.  We don't really like to do anything on Sundays except have our big brunch.

Lots to do this week.  Starting on Wednesday, we'll have company for a week and a half straight!

Had my interview yesterday, and she seemed to like me a lot.  Hopefully my paperwork will get sent in to HR super quick and I start working soon.  If not, I'll just sub every single day cause that'd pay as much, I think.
Working the camp.  I really don't want to.  I thought it was going to be a lot different than it really was.  The director doesn't seem to have her head screwed on straight and has misinformed me 2 or 3 times as well as not scheduling or running meetings efficiently.  It's very frustrating.  Now, I'm making phone calls that she is supposed to make, but pushed it off on the teachers.

I need to get up to Best Buy.  My computer is still effed up.  The sounds it's making is WAY worse than what it was before.  Probably because they're all asshats.

I painted a picture for my aunt last night.  Not finished yet, I'd like to get a few more details on it before I call it done.
