I have a job!!

I know I kind of disappeared for awhile but I am back now.  When I left you I thought I was going to be going on vacation.  First with my dad to New Mexico and then with my mom to Lower Michigan.  I had an interview about a week before I was supposed to leave and they would let me know in one or two weeks.  Since I didn't know what was going to happen I was still planning on going on vacation.

Well I got a call only a few days later that I was hired!!! Yay!  Except I haven't seen my parents in a while so I was kind of disappointed I couldn't go on vacation.  My job is at a daycare which is what I wanted.  I started only a couple days after I got the call.  I think I have been there for three weeks now and I am mostly loving it.  I work afternoons in the 4 year old room.

Last week we had somebody spill their drink at snack 4 out of 5 days.  And twice on Friday!!!  These kids are crazy.  So far we haven't had any spills this week.  Knock on wood.

Since I am only working part time I am probably going to need to get another part time job.  I would love another job where I don't work weekends but I don't know if that is possible.  We will see.

Husker Game Day

Husker Game Day by n3braskagirl featuring bootcut jeans

Football season starts on Saturday.  On my way home from work everyday I drive by a park where a bunch of little guys practice.  They started practicing a couple weeks ago and it has made me really excited for Husker football to be here.

Last week marked the beginning of high school football.  On my way home from work on Friday a woman called in to request a song.  She requested "Boys of Fall" for her son.  It was his birthday and he had a game in South Sioux City.  Plattsmouth played in South Sioux last week.  It was kinda cool to hear someone from my hometown on the radio even if good ole' P-town did get totally demolished.  It was pretty sad.  Apparently the word on the street is that none of the fall sports are going to have very successful seasons.

Back to the point of this post.  Nebraska kicks of their first season in the Big 10 on Saturday and I GET TO GO TO THE GAME!!!!  I am super excited (if you can't tell.)  The only game I had a chance to go to last year I had already agreed to babysit for a couple going to the game and then my bff invited me :(  Since I thought I might have more opportunity to work for them I didn't want to back out.

Anyway, my roommate/bff's grandma has season tickets and usually her uncle uses them.  But his family always goes camping over labor day weekend and they make the reservations a year in advance.  Since they couldn't go her grandma was going to sell the tickets.  But since my roommate and I both have Saturday off we wanted to go.

I have been seeing a lot of these "inspiration boards" from polyvore.com so I decided to make one.  Since the game is in the afternoon I don't know if I will be wearing a sweatshirt but I have one similar from last springs university collection.  And the rose earrings that I almost never take out of my ears aren't glittery.  And I don't have a pair of black flats (but I really want some.)  You can be sure I will be in my red and white.  I'm so PUMPED!!! Yeah!!

I'm hoping to get back into blogging.  I haven't felt very inspired lately but I think I might have some interesting stories to tell.

Update

So the song challenge was pretty much a fail.  Only two days.  I honestly thought I would do better than that.  No, I didn't think I would last the full thirty days but I thought I would last longer than two.  I'm not going to try and finish it or catch up.  The reason I only lasted two days was because I could NOT for the life of me think of songs to use.

In other news it looks like I will be doing some traveling in the next couple weeks.  First I will be spending about a week visiting with my dad's mom in New Mexico.  After a few days of recuperation I am off to see my mom at her fiance's brother's lake house in Lower Michigan.  Hopefully I remember to take lots of pictures.  Last time we were in NM our hotel room had an awesome view of the mountains and we saw Lady Gaga's tour bus.

I also had a job interview the other day but they won't know for a week or two.  It is at a daycare and they are waiting to see if their enrollment is going to pick up for the fall and if they will need more staff or not.  So I could be out of town when they hopefully call me back.  I'm only kind of holding my breath though because way back in the beginning of June I filled out an app. and interviewed at a daycare the same day.  I got the feeling that they were going to hire me.  Then I never heard from them.  I called them a few weeks later and they said they still had my app. but they wouldn't know until the beginning of July because they were moving kids around but they would let me know.  And now its the last day of July and I still haven't heard from them. Right now I'm just waiting to see how this new possibility plays out.  We will see.

Day 2: Your Least Favorite Song

This one was not so hard to come up with.  It truly irritates me.  Most every song by these guys irritates me to tell you the truth.  I hate when I catch myself singing along.  The song is....

All I Want To Do by Sugarland




What is your least favorite song?

30 Day Song Challenge: Day 1

I noticed some of my friends on Facebook doing the 30 Day Song Challenge and I thought it would be fun to do on here.  So, you know, I should be doing 1 post everyday for the next 30 days (at least in theory.)  We will see how it goes.  Check out the rules on Facebook.

Day 1 is your favorite song.  I had a really hard time coming up with one for this because I don't have just one favorite.  Since country music is my favorite genre I am going to choose This Is Country Music by Brad Paisley. The song just talks about everything I love about country music.

So what is your favorite song?

Lady Gaga in the House!

I actually don't like her music, I'm more of a country girl, but I thought it was still a good blog post.  Lady Gaga is in Nebraska and its not her first visit.  She had a concert at the Qwest Center in March and she was also here sometime over the 2010 holidays.

When she was here over the holidays she was with her boyfriends visiting his family.  He is from Springfield.  I'm a little fuzzy on the details because it was six months ago but, I think other than visiting his family she was also spotted in the Old Market and some other places around the Metro.  Don't quote me though because I don't remember and I really don't feel like looking it up at the moment.  Ok, I just looked up an article on omaha.com it does confirm.

This time she is back in Springfield  reportedly shooting a video.  Well I guess it is not really Springfield so much as rural Sarpy County.  Platteview High School has apparently opened up to feed the crew and provide some ac.  You know because its been like 100 degrees for the last week.  And they were reportedly shooting outside and in a barn.  If you don't know barns can often be hotter than outside because they get about zero circulation.

So I guess if we see a Lady Gaga video with cornfields and a barn we will know she shot it in Nebraska.

Quote of the Week

In an effort to blog more often I have decided to start doing a quote of the week.

I came across this quote when my best friends dad read it to us from the book he was reading and then asked us who we thought said it.  I sure didn't have a clue.  I really like this quote, I think it is something that everyone should live by.  Most especially bloggers and most other people who take the heat from people for the things they say and do. So here is the quote:

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."  -Dr. Seuss
