On a happier note...

I start this blog as a journal for family, friends, and myself and I haven't blogged one thing that has been really positive. This blog is dedicated to the happy positive things in my life. My husband Robbie and I just put an offer on what will be our first home. Its a cute starter home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. 1200 sqare feet. Were so excited to have our own place. It will be a little stressful at first because we will be sooo poor, but it is worth it. We'll finally quit throwing our money out the window.
Family is the next positive thing I've got going for me right now. My family is the best. My mom and my sister Jenni are the best friends I have. But I'm close with all my family and Robbies family. They give us so much love and support. That makes life a little easier.
Today work has been good. No one has said anything to me about leaving yesterday. I think everyone just was on edge, and blamed me. Looks like a night of stressing out was for nothing. I need to learn to relax a little. I'd get more sleep that way. Anyway, point is: Life is Good. There are a lot of thing to be happy about and if you dwell on the bad stuff, its hard to recognize the really good things going on around you.

Not looking forward to work tomorrow...

My husband and I are in the process of buying our first home. Its so exciting to be making that step in our lives, but it sure does take a lot of time. You've got to find an agent, find a house, make an offer, go get a loan, sign papers... on and on. The only time I have to do these things is during the day when I work, and all the people I have to talk to work. So I left my job today at the amphitheater to go walk thorough the house we are making an offer on and when I get back its like all hell has broke loose. The computers were down! We couldn't sell tickets! The phones were so busy!...on and on. The whole rest of they day when I'm there it is down right slow. I have a had time believing that when I walk out the door things start falling apart that quickly. Then to make matters worse I had to leave early to go to my massage job. I'm gone less that 30 minutes and I'm already getting a phone call saying that something has gone wrong. I'm not sure why I'm the only one capable of handling the box office. So tomorrow morning I get to go in with the boss and explain my schedule and why my shift isn't covered when I'm gone. Its fun to be Me.

drama, drama, drama

Besides working at an outdoor amphitheater during the day, I also work as a massage therapist at night. I really like doing massage therapy. Seeing people get off my table and feel better is a great feeling. There is only one thing I don't like about working at a day spa, and that is the drama. As you can imagine working with all girls in a tiny spa can be quite the challenge. So and so doesn't like so and so... So and so said something mean...and the list goes on and on and on. You may think, why don't you just ignore such problems, do your job then go home? Its not that easy! Everyone expects you to choose a side. They'll say (in so many words) "So and so said something mean about me now you bad mouth them with me, or we're not friends." It always sucks me in. I think all girls are suckers for drama. I start letting all my feelings come out, but it never makes me feel better to join in. In fact most of the time it makes me feel worse. I really wish I could just go to work, do my job, have fun, then go home with happy... well there is always tomorrow.

isn't it ironic?

Hey, its Lisa. I'm new at this blogging thing, but I figured I needed to try it out. Here it goes... So today I decided to come into work early because I really need the hours (=$money). I got here at 8:30, sat down at my desk and sure enough the server was down. The IT guy doesn't show up until 9:30 or 10 most days (today he didn't show up at all) but luckily this has happened before so I knew how to fix it myself. I took the treck up stairs to the main computer and sure enough it was locked. Of course (for security reasons) I dont have the password, so I came back down stairs and found someone who did. By the time they got up and fixed the problem it was 9:30. (This is the ironic part) 9:30 is when I normally come in to work. Good thing I was clocked in.
