So we had a sit down with everyone (kinda) and we are going to stay in this place a bit longer. Derek and I have talked about it ourselves too. I am just ready for something to change. I have turned in about five or six applications. Monday I am going to turn in the rest of my applications and come home to create a resume. Or maybe I'll create my resume tomorrow. I will definitely be posting it up online. I would really like to get a job somewhere, where I won't have to worry too much about my hair color. I mean, I'm willing to go back to being blonde, brunette, or red... but would like to have a splash of color in it as well. I enjoy it. It is me.

Sean has been having a few down days. He has been a butt. That's about it for there. Oh and his potty training is still at a stand still. He does great when we are out, but when we are home... he pees and poops everywhere. It is getting rather annoying.

Yesterday my mom pulled out the shampoo'er and shampoo'ed the dining room and wow there is a big difference in the floor. I'll have to take some photos. Haha. It is disgusting how this floor is. I hate that I let it get this way. It is nasty and filthy.

I am in need of another mini break, sucks that I don't have the money to get away. I think I am going to go for a drive this evening. I need to get out. My head has been hurting since noon. Whew.

I hope everyone else has a wonderful weekend. I hope we can get out of this soon enough. A month or two more and I think I may explode.

After a three-mile walk across our Lake Murray Dam. I am sweaty, which is why I am shiney. Haha.

The puppy that we took back, which is a good thing since Derek lost his job two days later and we would have really needed that $150 adoption fee. I was going to name her Layla.

My lovely wall beside the bed. Most of that artwork is by my bff, Des'ola.

Sean swimming in just arm floaties, I am so proud of him!

My parent's new puppy, Jack! I am kind of surprised they got it. Now we are all kind of hurting for money, but we have a $200 puppy. Haha.

Jack and Dog playing. I love the reactions I caught.

My parent's car got a flat tire so they left it over night because they needed to get a good tire from someone. Well we passed the car and saw this! The car was NOT left like that. The nerve of some people. Asses!
 

Sean and some blue Manic Panic. He got it on his forehead and ended up going head first into the couch! We got it off the couch and five minutes later we rinsed his head.

Trying my hardest to get Sean to take a decent photo with me. You can kind of see the blue that was left in his hair. I had just put more blue in my hair as well, which is why Sean had some in his. Haha.

Last photo I tried to get Sean to take a good photo... every photo he took he had his eyes closed!

At Lake Murray, Derek is somewhere in the water in this picture too. I think he is like the second furthest spec to the right.

A recent photo of our ducks. They are getting so big! We are still unsure of their sexes. You can see all of the feathers, from them molting. We are pretty sure that Evil is a male and that one of the Pekin ducks are a male. But Mr. Quackers we aren't sure. Duck and the other Pekin duck, we are sure are females. :)
  

Sean took a nap yesterday around noon and come bedtime didn't want to go to sleep. We ended up with him in our bed until close to midnight before he finally passed out. I got a cute photo of him and Derek. :)

Derek got all dressed up this morning to go up to the police department to apply. It is around a six to eight week progress, so we'll know in at least two months. *crosses fingers* Until then I guess I'll probably go and get a job and try to help out until he gets a regular job.

So I kind of messed up our finances last week and we are kind of hurting for money. I hate it. I have been stuck in the house because of it, because I don't want to waste gas & on top of the fact that if I go out, I'll most likely spend some money. I am hoping we can fix it all with this paycheck. If we do, we may be getting a puppy. Derek told me to just surprise him with one... if we can afford it. We went and looked at them on Friday, at Pets Inc, but he ended up backing out on me. He said he would wait to get a power supply for his computer, but he obviously wanted that more than a puppy, so we made him happy and got that instead.

Also do not buy a battery from Walmart unless you know you really need it (a car battery that is). We had bought one for Derek's car, but ended up not needing it and they wouldn't let me return it unless it was defective. Grr. So now we have an $80 battery that is going to sit on our front porch until we need it. Unless I can find someone to buy it. Hrm, I think it is Craigslist time.

I found a new cell phone I like. I am coming up on two years with the same phone (which I like my LG Muziq, so I'm going to keep it as a backup or spare phone for us), so I should be able to get a discount. But Derek doesn't want to be in a contract, which I don't really care. We have been with Sprint for a little over four yeas now, another two years won't hurt. I like the Samsung Exclaim. Hopefully we can budget for a new phone soon. Derek got his new phone at the beginning of the summer because his Motorola Razr was probably the crappiest phone I have ever seen. The buttons went out on it quick. He replaced it three different times, paying a $50 fee twice because of the kind of phone it is. It was ridiculous. By the time he gave up on the phone and started to look for a new one, he basically just used the phone to recieve phone calls. The buttons did not work like they were supposed to (like, you dial 9 and it types 576 -- that bad). We looked around and he ended up getting the Samsung Rant. I liked it the best out of all of the phones they had with the QWERTY keypad. I still didn't like how small the screen was, because when you turned it sideways it just didn't seem like a big enough screen. The Exclaim has a big enough screen and isn't touch screen (which I am not fond of those phones) and it has a slide-out number pad for dialing, which I like a lot! It gives room for a bigger screen. It just came out last month, I am hoping to see more reviews on it. The ones I have seen are good, just complaining about how big the phone is, which I won't mind, I hope. Haha.

I also tried to get in touch with someone about a job. The lady I am trying to get in touch with used to be a cocktail waitress at a strip club. I have been told I could pull it off. I just wanted to talk with her and see what it was like. I am also going to go up to that club and see how it is. The last and only time I have been there wasn't such a great time, haha. I just want to find something that I can do, and hopefully enjoy somewhat... and make a decent amount of money. Plus I would only be able to work after Derek got off work. I don't want to deal with daycare or anything. But we really do need the extra money. I guess we'll see.
