Tortillas!!!!

Last night my friend Adam came over to teach me the art of the homemade flour tortilla. I had NO idea it was so easy! All it requires is flour, a little oil, a little baking powder and water. Mix it until it’s a pizza dough consistency then roll and bake on the skillet. I must say they were delicious!! They went wonderfully with my avocado salsa and chicken for tacos. I think we might have to move to Mexico and start a taco stand. Nahhhhh :o)

The Internet is Awesome

Today I pulled out one of my favorite black shirts fresh from the wash only to find that it had dreaded deodorant stains! (dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!) What to do?? Alas, all was not lost. When I got to work. I simply googled “Deodorant Stains” and was promptly routed to 63,456 websites to help me with my deodorant needs. Crisis averted…. Phew!!!

Wrap me in your arms

Last week was a rather intense. On the less earth shattering side the budgets from the black lagoon resurfaced again. I really wish our client would make up its mind as to what they really want to do. It’s kind of annoying to work for 3 or 4 hours on something for them to say – Oh by the way we want to change one little thing. One little thing equals about 2 more hours of work.

On the sad side I spent a lot of time with my friend Jo this week. His dad is in the hospital and will more than likely pass away within the next few months. I don’t know the technical words for what’s wrong but he has lung damage. He could make it a week, a month or even a year but because of his age (he’s in his 70’s) his body just isn’t bouncing back like it should. It’s really sad. I can’t imagine losing my dad period. Let alone in my early 20’s. So anyway, pray for Jo and his family. He’s the youngest of 8 and there are a lot of grandkids that are pretty sad that Grandpa is sick.

On the bright side (yes Pollyanna is my nickname :o) My weekend was nice and relaxing. I did about a million loads of laundry and rearranged my room. I really feel like my house is coming together finally! Also, we had a really amazing church service yesterday. Our praise team learned this song on Saturday and I reallllllllyyy love it!




Michael Gungor - Wrap Me in Your Arms

YAY FRIDAY!!

Nothing too major happened this week. Let’s see…. My mommy booked my plane tickets for Thanksgiving and Christmas! YAYAY!!! I completed my quarterly property inspections for work. I had an interesting time climbing on roofs, learning about electrical systems and photocells. I however did not enjoy the bugs that I met on the way. I had to go into several electrical rooms that hadn’t been opened in a while and it totally grossed me out. LOL I am such a girly girl. I shrieked and squealed as I almost walked into a room filled with cobwebs. My maintenance guy, Brian, who kindly escorted me through the inspection process, really got a kick out of my reaction to bugs, dead squirrels and human waste (GROOOSSSSSS!!!) that we came across. LOL Ahhh the adventures in property management… What else… I attempted last night to make salmon with a garlic dill butter. It came out ok. Not too bad for my first try.


Anyway, I’ll save you from the rest of my mindless drivel of a week…. I am so glad that it’s Friday!!

I realized a few things...

You know you’re a Californian when…

The high for the day is 72 and you think “burrrr I should wear a sweater”

You turn off every light as you leave the room

You turn off the water when you brush your teeth

You see empty bottles as miscellaneous income

When you hear rain in the forecast you plan additional 20 minutes for your commute (silly Californians can’t drive in the rain!).

Ahhhhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhh

That is the sound of my sigh of relief. My budgets are done! I successfully completed round one of the budgeting process for 6 properties. This is no small feat considering they were all excel workbooks and I had to link 50% of the cells to make the numbers come out right. It was a lot of work and I’m glad I finished. I’m thankful though that my boss appreciates my work. She went on and on yesterday about how happy she was that I was here and that I just did it. It makes her job easier as a senior manager. She just looks at it, makes minor changes and then it’s off to the client.

Proud to Wait

I’m excited for this weekend! I actually get to relax. For part of it anyway :o) On Saturday we a hosing at “Proud to Wait” seminar for our youth group, iPray. Proud to Wait is a government funded group that offers education for preteens/teenagers about abstinence. I think it is a great tool for our young people and I hope it impacts them positively! Slowly but surely we are Reaching People, Improving Families, and Impacting the Community.
