Journeys Unexpected

Life is looking up at the moment. I'm using my new computer now to sort all my documents and pix from what *used* to be three computers! Ugh! But I get to use it now for everything I own! Yay! All that is left for my brother-in-law to do is Ghost the computer so if it crashes, I can have everything back to this state without waiting two weeks (and losing all my documents...). :) Anyway, I've had two jobs from the sub-line for this pay period, so that's good. The fourth grade I did yesterday was slightly nightmarish! The kids were worse than first graders with their "She stole my (insert whatever you want here!)!" "I don't have a pencil" "When's lunch?" The list goes on! I was ready for duct tape by 10 am! Haha! Oh well. More money, so I can't complain too much!

Let's see, I have rented my very first-ever minivan! I'm going to Disneyland next week with a gob of family and their minivan has Gremlins, so we're pooling resources and rented one for the day. :-) I'm SUPER excited to go to Disneyland!!! It's the "First Anniversary of My 30th Birthday" and I'll be spending it with family and a friend. I'm going to take lots of pictures, as I haven't been there in nearly four years! Travesty, I know! On another note, the White Knight's car finally went caput. :-( They towed it to our brother's house and he is pretty sure it's the alternator. This family has more car troubles than anything else, I think! Hmm... I guess that's all for now. Love to all!

So, I spoke with my brother, who is my grease monkey, and he hasn't looked at the car, since they are moving soon. Once settled, he will be able to take the head gasket off and find out if there's a crack in the head or the engine - he didn't want to take it apart only to sit there open... So, there's still a chance she's not as far gone as I was lead to believe. Not sure if that's good or not, since I don't have a job and don't have much money for the registration and continual insurance... Blah, blah, blah! Anyway, I had a fantastic day at Church today! I renewed my Recommend, got to see that a good friend is through with Probation and can partake of the Sacrament again, and got to talk with our Elder's Quorum President for a while. Relief Society's lesson was super, as they usually are since I've got a superb staff! Just an all-around good day! Our Enrichment night is this Tuesday and I'm excited for that. I've made a Power

Well, my poor Ginny is dead for good. She has a crack on an important part of her machinery, and there's NO way I can afford it since I have no job. It's not worth putting that much money into a car when you can get another used one for the same price. *Sigh* But the silver lining is that I'll have a little spending money at Disneyland for my birthday. :-)

Today is Friday the 13th! I've never found that the "horror" of the day is ever bad, I think that Monday the 13ths are worse (I hate Mondays!!). I babysat my beautiful neice today so her parents could enjoy a lunch together, which turned into a SpongeBob Squarepants episode! Anyway, my computer is almost ready for me to start playing on! I'm so excited! I will have a picture of it some day soon - it's a purple/silver tower, with a quadcore processor, and other cool things. I'm almost as excited for that to be done as I am my car... Poor Ginny, her head gasket blew and I've only recently been able to scrape the money together for my brother to buy the parts. *Sigh* Hopefully it's only the gasket, and not more... The job front is still bad - I'm on the sub-list for HUSD, and it's only given me half a day for this pay period. *More sighs* I'm sure that something will happen soon, I just need to show forth my faith in the Lord, and tr
