Interviews

Interviews scare me! Duh, why should they, I know, but they just do! I just get all nervous. I mean, I know the worst that could happen is just them telling me that they're not going to hire me, and that's not going to kill me. I think it has something to do with being declined. Yeah, that's it. We'll leave it there.

So, this morning I had an "interview" with AT&T. It was actually fun and didn't make me all that nervous. LOL We just had to listen to some information and then fill out an app on their computer and then answer some questions about situations how we'd handle them and then had to do a simulated work station type of thing in a call center! When you got finished, the hiring manager called you into her office to tell you how you did. When I enter the office, she tells me that I did awesome on the simulation and we talk and then she asks me to come back for yet another "interview" on Friday! This one is going to be one on one with a lady who will decide if she wants me to work for her or not...BRING ON THE NERVOUSNESS! :-) I'm just going to go in there and be me, tell them what they want to hear, and just be honest. If all else fails, I'm sure I could land a position at 7Eleven!

Afterwords I went and had lunch with my cousin Christina. It was a pretty awesome afternoon/morning!

I have decided to give up on cleaning my beautiful car too! :-( It just doesn't stay clean for more than a day! I avoid shit on the streets and do all in my power to keep him clean, but when it comes down to it, it's all useless!

Hmmmm....

Well, I'm now in my apartment at Regency Tower in downtown OKC. It's great being out "on my own", but it makes me a little nerve wracked! Everyone does it all the time, I guess it just freaks me out not being able to make it.

The not smoking thing isn't go so well. This year I've smoked three times already. Ugh, why am I so weak! :-(

I'm trying to find a job, but I wanted to stop by here first.

:-)

Still here, just not in the mood to write. :-)

Check-In

Just wanted to check in, I'm still here, tired as all hell, will write later.

The Holidays

Hey there. The holidays are an amazing time, especially for close friends and family! You get the chance to see how blessed you are. With me, it's simply amazing. If you know me at all, you know that I'm really family oriented, and that I have a huge family! I'm very close with them and currently live with them as well. That all will change come December 29th, 2009. It's certainly going to be some transition! I'm so used to seeing them every day and being an every day part of my babies lives. What's going to change?

Today I haven't done much of anything except for wrapping more presents, and I'm still not done! The first couple are always fun and the outcome is amazing, but as they go on, it gets boring! LOL I'm still trucking along though.

I did go meet my ex brother in law up in the city to pick up my nephew and cousin, they just got back from skiing in New Mexico. I heard that they had a really awesome time.

Other than all that, not a whole lot going on. I had planned on going up to the city to do some special shopping and buy a gun, but that all changed when my sister asked me to meet up and pick up my nephew. I suppose that I could do that tomorrow? I however, shouldn't be spending any money, seeing as how I have no job and have heard nothing from the places that I've applied. What do I do now? Fast food? I don't think so, and not that it's beneath me or anything, it's just not me.

I guess that I'm going to go now, some more beer to drink and presents to wrap!

The Webs We Weave

Have you ever thought about the things that you do or have done that come back to bite you in the ass? Just wondering. Have you ever thought about why it was that you did what you did or do what you do? I do that all the time. A lot of the time I don't mean it, but I just let it go. :-) Just rambling, nothing in particular going on.

Another day down. Ugh, I'm so freaking bored and tired! I have still yet to hear about a job from the apps that I have filled out. What's the next step? Call and check up on them? I'm really just wanting something, anything, with little responsibility! :-) I'll be the first to admit that I'm freaking lazy, except for when it comes to designing something or doing photo editing! ;-)

Christmas is upon us, and yet once again I'll be so happy to have it done and over with. The last couple of years when I'm asked what I want for Christmas, I simply say, "Nothing, I'm good", and I mean it, but no one every listens, so each year I get more stuff to have to find a place for! :-D

Going to jet for now, ciao.

Not Enough Hours In The Day

So, I'm about to begin yet another chapter in my life! I know before that I said that I was going to try and get back on here more often, but as you can see that hasn't happened. There aren't enough hours in the freaking day!

I wouldn't sleep if I didn't have to. Sleeping is so overrated!

I am going to pick this up again though. It may not be in the correct order though, because I'm not going to write step by step, but just as it comes to me. Make sense? So, I could blog about a couple of different things, which all happened on the same day, but will have different blogs! LOL I lose you yet? Damn! Nah, just kidding.

Currently, I'm itchy and it's driving me crazy! Cortizone - 10 isn't helping either! Ugh! What the hell is it?

So, this morning, I get a text from my cousin JJ, they are at Mercy hospital, Breezy is about to give birth to Zane! It's their first child, I'm really excited for them. I was going to try and go up and be there, but I'm just too freaking tired at the moment! You see, I haven't slept a wink all night and it's now 0723!

So, what do you think? Is this going to work?

Me? Dating a new guy. Getting an apartment in downtown OKC, finally! Looking for a job (any job)! Have a new nephew on the way (due date of the 20th of Dec.). Finished Christmas shopping, minus one gift! Wanting to apply and attend Rose State College! Just basically living life one day at a time!

Wow

Wow, what a new chapter we are already in, in the Life of Jay! So much is going on, and yes I'm trying to keep up with this, but I'm really busy or just not in the mood to write. I know, what's up with that? I will try to make more of an effort, I promise.

I'm alive, I'm healthy (sort of), and I'm SUPER HAPPY! :-)

What It Is

Man, will it ever end, me being so busy and having to make up my mind at every turn? I'm seriously thinking about taking a job again with my previous company. They called me yesterday out of the blue to make sure that I knew they were keeping my security clearance up to date and active. They told me that they had something domestic as well as oconus, so I guess I just have to make up my mind. :)

Soccer practices have started and the first game is this coming Sunday! :) I'm so tired, just dealing with all the kid stuff, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! :) Still continuing to constantly being on the move! :)

I'm still freaking tired and still have to do this and do that. What's the end product going to be like?

I'm closing on the house on the 14th, of September at 1300! I'm ready to get all that over with! I don't think that I'll ever know myself or feel it, if I made the right choice or not. :)

We shall see.

Hola

Wow, how time just gets away from you! I'm so ready for a vacation. So, last night was a pretty awesome rain, thunder and lightening storm! It was so amazing! Today, around town, it looks like a freaking tornado came through, with all the debris and what not.

So, I'm still in the process of buying a freaking house. How scary is that? I'm a little freaked out. All on my own. All the numbers adding up and not having a job, Ka-Ray-Z! I don't know if the deal is going to go through or not. Everyone keeps telling me that everything will work out. I suppose we shall see.

I'm so tired all of the time. I wounder if it could be the lack of me not doing anything. I really need to get on the ball and find some type of job to keep me busy. I'm going to go crazy! I've been throwing around the thought of going back overseas. I think I'm comfortable there and the pay is great. It would be just because I felt like doing it and not that I had to, so that would make it a lot better too, this time around, I think. I just don't think I'd do well in the "civilian" work place. ??? I've thought about going to school too, but then for what? A CNA, LPN, RN, Radiology Tech, what? If only the lotto would call out my numbers. LOL :-) I know I'm supposed to win it, I just have to start playing! LOL

I've made some new friends, which is always a good thing. I'm seeing a great guy. I can see it lasting a very long time, but there's no telling with me. I don't think anyone can really handle me and the way that I am. I don't know what it is about me that guys like, but it seems like they just like me. ??? I'm nothing special in bed, I don't go South and I pretty much just lay there! LOL Man that's almost sad to admit. So, what is it?

I got a new camera and it's still pretty new, considering I've only used it once! I got some filters and I'd really like to start using it, a lot! I just can't seem to find the energy or motivation. A cousin of mine asked me to do her pregnancy pictures, which I've never done before, so what do I do? She offered to pay, but how could you charge a family member for something like that? I told her to just teach me some photography stuff or camera stuff and we'd call it even. :-)

I'm 30 and I don't know what I want to do with my life!

lsie hfue l

I'm still so freaking tired! I just woke up from a four hour nap, from a crazy ass dream, with a not so proud ending. Ugh! What does all this mean? I need a spa retreat or something, before I end up being committed!

This past weekend was a lot of fun. Friday I went up to OKC to spend the weekend with Jason. Friday we met the guys that he hung out with for Happy Hour at the Phoenix Rising and then headed over to the Boom for a bite to eat. Then we finished having some more drinks there, Craig almost got us escorted out, just by asking a freaking question, nonetheless, then Jason and I headed over to Trav's house to have another drink or two, and then Trav got some "company" so we just left him to it! LOL *wink* Love ya Trav! Saturday, Jason hosted a BBQ for me, so that I could meet his "crew", LOL! It was fun. First we met my sister-in-law in the city to go shopping for some party supplies for my niece's birthday party this Saturday. We made it back to the BBQ, talked, had some drinks, and then Timberlynn invited us over to Jeff's house in Moore to a UFC watch party. We go. :-) It was actually a lot of fun! We chilled there, talked with everyone and made new and more friends. We left there and went over to Eric and Kristin's house, somewhere, and brought in the morning. They invited us to spend the night there, but I was just so tired and wanting Jason's comfortable bed! So, we left. Ugh, thank the stars that was finally over with. Sunday, we didn't do jack shit, we just basically vegged out in front of the t.v. on the couch! I came back home Monday morning after Jason left for work.

Yesterday was Bella's 4th Birthday, but we are celebrating her party on the 18th. My mother and I met Kelly and the babies up in the city at Chuck E. Cheese so that we could hang with Bella on her actual birthday. We found some foam letters to paint for Bella's birthday surprise that my brother is building for her. We came back home, started to paint them. Kelly had things to do. I went to eat with my sister. Kayla and Ryan came down to look at the house they are in the process of buying, we all went over to look at it again with them. Then we headed over to my brothers for some ice cream, then I came home, talked to Jason on the phone and passed out, only to wake up a measly four hours later! Ugh.

I'm So Tired

I'm just so freaking tired! There aren't enough hours in the day or enough of me to go around. I just can't seem to get enough sleep. *smiling* My mind will not shut off. I just want sleep!

Today, I finally got my car title in the mail and went and got my tag. Nice chunk of change. :)

Didn't do a whole lot, went and visited Michael at work, went to visit my grandparents and then went and visited with Marisela. :) Texted and talked to Jason. *smiling*

Going to jet for now, holla!

Transform This

So, tonight/last night my sister and I took all the kids to watch the second Transformers movie. I love my babies, but I don't think I could take them to the movies again, unless it was a movie that I didn't care about. Devon and Aidan sat next to me and they talked the whole movie, then all four of them had to leave to go "pee", I swear 11 times! *smiling* I just can't do it. :)

The movie was long, thought it could have been a little shorter, only because they drew it out too long. It was good, nonetheless. I probably could have waited for it to come out on DVD. I got to see a preview for New Moon, I'm so freaking excited! *smiling*

After the movie, I went over to visit with Marisela for a bit. That was fun. Then it got late and I came home. Called and talked to Jason on the way and then for a bit when I reached my destination. Poor baby has a lot to think about, with his career. I hope things work out and we are together for a very long time, if not till death, but I told him not to base any decisions off of me, us. It's not supposed to sound bad, just real. *smiling* If you hadn't got to meet him yet, I'm sure that you will soon. He's different than the guys that I usually go for, but so much in a better way. He is about a year to a few months younger than I, yeah if you know me, then you know how that is, but I'm cool with it. He's much more mature than I! LOL It's a good thing. Our first date was awesome, not typical at all! He took me to my favorite restaurant, The Olive Garden (sorry again Marisela) and then we went and did the canal ride thingy down in Brick Town. Then we went back to his place and talked, had some drinks, and played some card and dice cames. It was really awesome. We then snuggled and talked some more and then finally fell asleep! It was awesome. NO, contrary to what you may think or believe, we hadn't had sex yet. We are holding off and when it happens, it will happen. If you cut the sex part out, it really makes it easier to get to know someone, I think. I'm going on two years now of non sex activities, so I'm nervous about all that too! LOL *smiling*

What else is there to tell you about? I guess that I'm going to jet for now, I should have a busy day tomorrow/today, but I keep putting things off! LOL

SlAcKiNg

Yes, I know that I've been slacking, but it's just crazy for me right now. It's almost like being home for R&R, being pulled here and there, asking to be here and there, popularity sucks! LOL I'm just joking.

I'm still in love with my car, "EC"! I have already put a mark on him. :( It's all my fault, but I'm dealing with it. I'm just glad that it was me and no one else.

The 4th of July was a blast! It didn't just rained, it freaking poured! It didn't stop us though. Jason didn't have anything going on for the 4th, so he came down to Chickasha to celebrate it with all of us crazy people. He enjoyed himself and made himself at home. Everyone, so far, had only good things to say about him. We had a freaking awesome fireworks show. We got together and bought close to a $1k worth of fireworks. We visited and drank and laughed so freaking much. All the adults were just like kids, it was great!

I'm starting to hit the pavement and begin looking for a job. I've looked at my resume and updated it, but not completely. This part is just so much fun! I'm also thinking about buying a house. My cousins, the Veals, said that they'd sell me their house. I'm going to look into it. I'm 90% sure that I can land a j-o-b in Chickasha, but I don't want to do the commute thing. So, if I do buy the Veal house, I'm thinking that I may just rent it out. At least till I'm able to find a j-o-b in Oklahoma City. I'm through with overseas contracting, or want to be, so I hope that something works out.

I'm tired and I don't feel like doing anything. There aren't enough hours in the day!

My friend Michael is thinking about a military branch, so Monday we are going to go hit up some recruiting stations and see what they have to tell him. I'm just going for support and if they tell him something he doesn't understand, I'll be there to explain, and to catch any lies they may tell. :)

So, this is my update, I'll try to keep them coming regularly! PEACE

My New Toy

Isn't she just freaking beautiful?! She's a 2010 SS Chevy Camaro fully loaded with a 6.2L V8 engine!
The color of her is Silver Ice. This is the exact car that I built online, down to every detail. It was freaking amazing to get to come across one and it was the FIRST one we looked at too.
My dad and my brother picked me up this morning (24 JUN 09) and we started hitting dealerships to see what we could see and work out. Like I said, this was the first one we looked at! They wouldn't budge on the price, so we just went to a few other dealerships and got one. A lot of them didn't even carry the 2010 Camaro. I'm so freaking excited and happy! It's amazing! *smiling* I can't stop smiling and I can't stop saying Thank You, because everyone keeps congratulating and complimenting me on it. Everyone keeps staring at me too. It's an awesome feeling, but weird at the same time.

So, I'm home now, finished with flying and just enjoying my babies and the rest of the family!

Good-Bye

Good-Bye to the arabic countries. Last time I left Iraq I said that I wasn't ever going back, so I won't say that this time. It is so freaking great though to be out of there and back in the wonderful states! If you've never been in my position, I can't even begin to describe the feeling I felt when I knew we were in US airspace! It's just so freaking amazing. It's like you're finally able to relax and exhale.
And good-bye to all the hot Marines that I'll no longer get to be around. It was fun and awesome while it lasted. I enjoyed it all. I can't say that I'm not going to miss my old room and the shower room smelling like a rough locker room, because I am. It is going to be a little sad to not shower with a bunch of hot ass Marines though! *smiling* If only...

I'll be heading home today! I'll be getting in OKC at about 2300 tonight! I'll write more details later, I just wanted to pop in real quick and let you know that I am stateside. We had to deal with a real CUNT yesterday. Stay Tuned. . .

casio

Not a whole lot going on. I actually made it out of KV on my first try on Space A. Now, I just have to make it out of the country of Iraq, via Space A on the first try and that would be awesome! I'm going to give my first try in the morning!

Yesterday was my brother's Birthday, so Happy Birthday Little Big Bro. I called to wish him a Happy Birthday. They were heading to Tuttle for a t-ball game.

The T-Baller, Aidan, caught his first pop fly the other day at one of his games. I bet that would have been awesome to see. My brother also got thrown out of the game too, apparently for arguing with the Ump or something. I hadn't got the full story as of yet. :)

I'm bored here and people are really getting on my damn nerves! Imagine that. I just wanted to pop in for a quick update.

Shoot Shot!

Today's my Dad's Birthday, so Happy Birthday Dad. Also, today I went and got my #5 Anthrax shot. Yay! I'm also still troubleshooting that stupid truck from yesterday and it's driving me crazy. Originally today I was supposed to start leaving KV, but while down at the flight line today, I heard that all flights were canceled due to red air. So, I would have been here anyway. Tomorrow I'll start, but knowing my luck, it's going to take me a day or two to get out of here. Not much else going on here.

NART

So, the North America Road Trip is still a go for some time after July 14th, because I have to be home for my Princess' Birthday. :) Russ said that he'd still like to go, I just don't have his final official word as of yet. It should be a blast. I'm hoping that it's going to be fun and not as much work as I think it actually might be...

I have now eleven days left in this country, not that I'm counting down or anything!

blank

This picture is from my Birthday Bash, the Party Bus as well. This was at one of our stops at the COPA. Not sure what I was doing, but here it is.

Yesterday was my little cousin Kristin's Birthday, she's 17 now! Man, where has the time gone? I remember changing her diapers when she was a freaking baby! Not to mention babysitting too! Wow.

I have about ten days left here in country too! I'm excited. I've finally asked someone if they wouldn't mind putting me up for the weekend that I return, my cousins, The Veals. It should be fun. :) I just hope they'll say yes, which I'm sure they will. :)

The weather is crappy yet once again here today, not a surprise. Of course, there's still nothing going on here. I have one last bit of work to do, but not sure I'll be able to do it before leaving here. I'd like to get it done, if only to make time pass more quickly, but we shall see. In two days I'm going to start Space A-ing it to AA, which there I have to pack the rest of my crap and mail it home and then start the process of making my way to Kuwait. I'm still hoping to get there early so that I can spend a few days with Theresa! We shall see on that as well. *smiling* I'm super excited.
