I have been officially home for a week. I haven't really done a whole lot. Which is okay. I have needed the break between the long days of camp and the early mornings of bus driving and working every day. So I relaxed....
The first movie I watched was Shrek, just because I could and I watched it until I fell asleep. There's just something comforting about familiar movies that you can fall asleep too! :)
Then I took the opportunity to rent three movies (for 1.49 on Monday at Mr. Movies) and I watched each of them during the week. The first one was The Prince and Me which I watched with Emily. This was very cute and had some good laughs. I love Julia Stiles and I have been to Denmark (and Wisconsin) so that was fun. Another night I put on Love Actually. Apparently my expectations were too high for this one. Or I was just too tired to catch on to it. But I didn't enjoy it- I couldn't follow it at all and it just seemed like it was about who could hook up with who in their various places in life- didn't amuse me, sorry. I fell asleep to that one too and never ended up finishing it.
Then last night was super movie night. I hung out with my camp pals at Crown for the day which was enjoyable. Then Kara and I spent some time looking up movies online to decide what we would go see that night. It was not an easy choice. In the process of watching trailers online, and almost quitting, I found Garden State. I didn't really know much about it, but it just seemed like something I wanted to see. Tara agreed and it ended up just being me and her, so we went. We both thought it was excellent. What was real neat about it is that it wasn't a "Hollywood" movie where everything is glamorous and makes you feel good. It was real. It was about typical, normal, deadbeat, American people and their way of life and relationships. I do recommend it. So we were leaving and talking about how we made such a good choice and also about how short it was. We didn't say it, but we both were up for another movie. Then we saw Josh and Kara. They said that they were going to see The Notebook shortly...hmmm...the other movie that I really wanted to see. So...Tara and I decided that we would see that one too. First time I ever paid to see two movies in a theater in one day! :) This was definitely the BEST movie I have seen in a long time. I know a lot of people wouldn't agree but I am all about the romantic tearjerking dramas! I haven't cried like that in a long time! Hats off to Nicholas Sparks for writing another great novel that turned into a great movie!
Well, today, I still had Miracle that I rented, so I popped that one in...it's been a long time waiting for me to see it, the hockey fan that I am! Too bad I wasn't a hockey fan in 1980, the whole 2 months old that I was! :) But hey, go USA! Finally, Good Will Hunting is just finishing up on TV. I have only watched this one 50 times. "How do ya like them apples?" :) So that's my movie marathon for the week....now's back to the real world...and...
I need to ask prayer support for my finances...it's a constant struggle...but the main concern lies first in two things...
I found out last weekend that my church can only continue to pay me for two weekends a month instead of three or four. That hurts. So either I need to find something else or just get by with that...
As of right now, I am only guaranteed driving 25 hours a week instead of 40 hours of Special Ed that I had last year and was looking forward to. That's not so good.
Since my income was down a LOT this summer, I am very behind on multiple bills and they are not so friendly with me. If it weren't for these limbo couple weeks in between jobs and not being able to depend on what will be coming in from jobs soon, I would be okay. But they are after me and.....ahhhhh....!!! All I need is to win the lottery or be given just $1000! Then all will be okay! I hate to constantly worry about finances...I refuse to give in to them, but...ya know..
