Up when the rooster crows
I got up at the butt crack of dawn today to eat breakfast with emilio, his mom and his sister. They are in town for today only, Ana has some kind of an orientation deal at ASU. She is for sure coming down here, and emilio's brother chito is too. I'm really excited b/c I like them alot. emilio's mom is so awesome too. I was telling him that we are really lucky to like each other's families. I mean, genuinely like them and enjoy their company. (mind you, his family is out of state, but I think if they lived close by it wouldn't change things)
anyway, I'm so tired though, I got three hours of sleep. But I just had three cups of coffee and not sure I will be able to fall back asleep. argh
Today is my friday at work, YAY! This past couple of weeks has been killer. One learning experience after another, let me tell you! Whats cool though is that I really feel like I'm getting established on my shift and building up a better repoire with the girls. Things go really well when Shanna isn't there. I fear that she could be an instegator. Anyway, I but I feel like the other girls are taking me serious. This sounds silly but I have my own little mantra that I say to myself out loud on my way to work. It really helps me calm down and gain my confidence. "I am confident, I am in charge, I am not afraid" If anyone is reading this they are probably laughing, but I don't care because it works for me. I really think that just like animals, people can smell fear or insecurity. If I let myself go in feeling unsure if I can do this job, they are going to sense that and react to it. Anyway, its insane how much confidence has to do with EVERYTHING
good news! I got a message from my doctor, said my test results came in and that I have nothing to worry about!!! you have no idea how relieved I am. I was so stressed I broke out (and gained five pounds b/c of all the junk food...okay maybe not five pounds but enough to make my jeans tighter)
Emilio and I have made up a system to get us motivated to work out. being the money mongers that we are (just kidding!) this is how its going down: every 30 minutes of cardio work out I do he has to pay me five dollars and vise versa. and then for every hour of weights/muscle toning exercises (ie, crunches) is five dollars. This way if I work out more than he does, he has to pay me which will make him want to work out more and the cycle will just continue. (someone did bring up the point, what if neither of you work out at all? thats a good point, except that would mean neither of us would win a competition between us and well, if you know either of us you would understand)
anyway, I wonder if I'm making sense? I feel like I ramble alot.
I still haven't done my taxes, because I'm cool like that. I am seriously going to do them tomorrow. I am getting my stuff together and doing it online. I'd be stupid not to, because I think I'm getting money back.
alright, I think the coffee buzz is wearing off. I'm going to go back to sleep for a couple of hours...
