*edit*loooooong post....so bypass if you like!
Soo...lack of updates has basically been lack of motivation. And really just not a necessity since there's pretty much only one person that reads this...anywho, I shall oblige her a new post since I bother her when she doesn't update in two days... =D
Nanny job still going good. Check.
Annoyed that I'm working retail again. Check.
Loving padre's place (minus the centipedes). Check.
Still have the most adorable nephew on the face of the earth. Check.
Let's see, let's see...what else is new. Umm I have to start paying student loans soon. That will be fun. If I don't consolidate, I'll be paying $363/month which is RI.DIC.ULOUS. Therefore, I am consolidating...not sure how I want to do it yet...I have a few different option. We'll see where they take me. But I'm really not too concerned about extending the length of paying them off since I can always make extra payments to get them paid off earlier.
I also suppose I should get my medical/dental insurance started up here. Again, lack of motivation. I know, I know..."WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOU?!" Well, I'm pretty positive that what I did to my foot earlier this year WAS a break so I don't think anything much worse than that can happen...unless of course, I get cancer. Cross your fingers! (Ok stef...that wasn't funny.)
One exciting thing going on is that I'm actually. making. money. GASP! Right, I've had the job for just over a month but I obviously didn't get paid right away since you always have to wait the week or two for payment to get started. Plus my first paycheck was just for one week. So let me tell you how nice it is to get paid for TWO weeks of work! Without getting into specifics, let's just say that I've never had a paycheck be as much as my last one was. It's wonderful being able to actually put money into my savings account and leave it there and to have more than a couple hundred dollars in my checking account! Luckily staying at padre's gives me the opportunity to SAVE SAVE SAVE so I am fully taking advantage of that.
Also...I have a new plan. And padre doesn't know about it yet but I'm pretty sure he'll be cool with it since he said I could stay as long as I wanted...and since he told me that he'd like me to stay so I can save. I don't know what's going on with moving in with Gina right now but regardless of what happens with that, my hope is to be able to stay with padre until my current job is over (October 24th is my last day I believe). Ideally, I'd like to take that last week of October off and then start with a new family (or job) on November 3rd (a monday). Even more ideally, I would like to have enough saved by then and be making enough at my new job that I would be able to be in my own apartment by then. It would work out perfectly if I could take off that last week in October, move into my new place then, have a week to get accustomed and enjoy some time off and then start a new job on Monday. In a perfect world, that's how I envision the future. =)
Hopefully I can make that vision a reality! I've been really good about not spending money (and I feel I can get pretty personal here with details since no one really reads this except for those people that would already know the details). Really the only money I spend now is on gas, groceries, cell phone, and gifts! That sounds funny...I'm racking my brain and I really can't come up with anything else I spend money on...I mean, occasionally I'll go out to dinner with family or friends but typically, we don't go anywhere expensive so it's under $10. And I don't even do that a lot. And occasionally if I find a good deal for something that I do actually need or will need in the near future, then I will get it when I see it--but there really hasn't even been much of that! In the next month-ish, we can add student loans and insurance in there but even that isn't too bad.
Plus, on a positive note, I was talking to Christy (the mom of my nanny family) and she said that she's been lucky with this summer being able to have some half days but once the summer ends, she'll be back to working full days which means I will as well. And as much as I LOVE sleeping in a little on Tuesdays, I find that {in my old age} it's better if I get up earlier anyways...sleeping in just makes me more tired during the rest of the day. (Plus I can sleep when Gracie takes her first nap of the day!) Basically what that means is an increase in hours (yes I know I have a minimum but working even 3 hours over that per week is good extra money!). As of since I started, I've been averaging in between 35 and 40 hours--so when Christy stops half days, I'm anticipating 40-45 but even hoping for a little more. I think my Thursdays will stay half days (7am-130pm) since Jeff is the one that gets home early but Tuesdays and Fridays will be full days. Even going up from 35 to 40 hours a week, that's an extra $55 (about) per week so over the course of the month, that adds up! I mean think about it, that would pay for my student loans and cell phone plus some...not too shabby! Ok so maybe it's not that big of a deal but I'm a dork and I get excited about stuff like that! Anyways, my whole reasoning for explaining that was so I can visualize reaching my goal! Hopefully by working a few more hours a week, I'll be able to save more and my apartment can be in reach!
Explanation: If I HAD to move out on my own right now, I could afford it. I could afford the apartment, the utilities, the cable, the internet, everything. However, I couldn't afford the apartment that I really really really want. Especially if I end up living on my own. The apartment I want is much nicer than your average apartment--they're brand new and super nice plus they're in a great location! Ideally (I like this word tonight apparantly), I'd like to save up so I can get the apartment I want. But it's nice to know that if I absolutely had to, I could afford to live on my own. My goal by the time I move out is to have at least half a years rent saved up--so at least a few thousand. If I can have that in my savings and be able to pay all my current bills without dipping into that, then I think I will be in great shape!
Something i'm excited about is learning lots of cost-saving ideas! Before living on my own in the "real world" (and this includes down at school), I just never really thought about it. I didn't have big kid bills to pay so it just didn't really phase me. I mean yeah, I was your average college student and I had a cell phone bill and car insurance, credit cards and tuition to pay for. But I was at that stage where as long as I worked full-time over the summer and had a part-time job during the school year, I could afford all that. Now that I'm realizing what entails living a big kid life, I'm enjoying finding ways to save! I used to laugh at Stef for cutting coupons--I think my normal quote was "who cares, it's 30 cents!" Ok well multiply that by 20 coupons and you're on your way to saving! I am TOTALLY a coupon cutter now! It's ridiculous. I look for good deals, I try to buy everything on sale, I use as many coupons as I can--if I find something that I need on a regular basis and it's a great deal, I'll stock up on it so I won't need to buy it for awhile. I am officially a geeky penny pincher. And luckily when I did my budget, I estimated OVER what I would actually spend so that I could save the extra.
One place that I overestimated a little too much was in the grocery area. Now, granted, I--again--have coupons so those help too--but I've definitely been spending less on groceries than I thought I would. And I think part of that has to do with the fact that I'm trying to be healthier and eat less anyways--so the less I eat, the less I need to buy which means saving more!
Which brings me to the next cool part of my life (seriously...stop reading if you're bored...I know I'm rambling on but I'll just keep going...). Caela told me about this website, http://www.myfitnesspal.com/, and it is awesome! It's basically like Weight Watchers, only free. You can keep a food and fitness diary and it calculates all your totals for the day. It sets up a plan for you--you say how much you want to lose, when you want to lose it by and they tell you how many calories to eat. Pretty simple. There's also recipes and a 'community' of people that are there to support you and help you every step of the way. You can advice, recipes, questions answered or just have a conversation with someone about something--it's pretty awesome. So Stef and I both signed up for that and we decided we're going to check up on each other and make sure that we're both staying on track. For me it was a combination of lack of motivation and disgust in seeing what I was eating that made me quit every other "diet" before. (Well..I don't consider this a diet...just eating healthy. That's probably a good start.) But Stef and I agreed that we would be honest in our food and fitness diaries and be positive reinforcement for each other. I definitely need someone that can look at what I'm eating and let me know when I probably didn't do the greatest job. And I know Stef will do that..I mean obviously it won't be beneficial to hear "you suck, you're getting fat" but I have every confidence that if I screw up, Stef will say something like "hey look at this day...you kind of strayed on the healthy stuff didn't you?" and that will help so much--because I really don't want to hear that. So if I know Stef is going to look at my food journal, I want to be hearing something like "wow, you're eating great lately!"
And I'm also going to try and get more exercise than I have been...eventually, once I have my health insurance and am pretty set in my income, I'll be getting a membership at a fitness club...my health insurance will give me $20 towards one every month so depending upon where I go, I may end up paying anywhere from only $10 to somewhere around $30 (which still isn't bad). Until then, I'd like to take Gracie on at least one walk a day for at least 30 minutes. Tuesdays might be the day that proves tough--at least while Christy has half days--the mornings are when I like to go because it's not too hot. Afternoons have been pretty hot lately with no breeze so its tough to take Gracie out--since I have to either close up her stroller so the sun doesn't get on her skin or cover her up with a blanket cuz of the sun (Christy doesn't want her wearing sunscreen yet). But even if I can do 4 out of 5 days, that's a good start! Plus I'm thinking about bringing an exercise tape over to the Furmaneks to do while Gracie naps. I'll probably only bring it on days that I don't work at Linens N Things at night so I'm not all gross and sweaty and smelly going to work...so there's my plans! All of them I guess...haha
So now that I've written about 20,000 more sentences than I meant to....have a great night!
P.S. If any of you got to this point...wow! I don't think I could stick it out and I wrote it...

lots of updates!
No internet=no updates :( Luckily, I got off work early today so I'm at Stefs until I have to go to the OTHER work at 530 so I thought I'd update while I have internet access!
...that's right, you heard me right...a SECOND job! I got the job with the family from Lino Lakes that I didn't tell you I interviewed with! I interviewed with them two weeks ago--exactly, actually. I loved them right off the bat--they were so nice...I usually get really nervous in interviews but I wasn't nervous at all--and when I left I realized that I really really wanted this job! But I didn't want to say anything to anyone because I didn't want to jinx myself. So to keep my mind off whether I got the job or not (yeah right!) I worked at Linens N Things all weekend. Luckily, I didn't have to wait TOO long--Christy called on Monday and offered me the position!! So, I started a week later, this past Monday. Finally, 5 months after looking for a job, I find one! Well, I had LNT but a REAL job!
So, let me tell you a little about the family. Their names are Christy and Jeff Furmanek. (Christy and Jeff...sound familiar to anyone? haha) Christy is finishing up med school and she's going to be a neurologist--Jeff is a bone doctor (I can't remember the real name...oops!) The schedule is pretty great too. Monday-Friday, in between 30 and 50 hours a week. I generally start at 7am (although this week, I've already have a 1230 and 9 o'clock start) and usually Mondays and Thursdays, Jeff gets home early..in between 130 and 330. Tuesdays and Wednesdays will typically be a little longer--one of them will get home anywhere between 5 and 730 so it has the potential to be a 12.5 hour day but it's really not that bad. I work a 10.5 hour day on Wednesday and it flew by! And on Fridays, Christy will generally get home a little earlier...not WAY early but earlier. Tomorrow she'll be home around 230-3 so that's nice. I can also keep my hours at LNT which is REALLY nice because having both incomes is going to be nice so I can save for the next few months! I can work Mon/Thurs/Fri nights (someone will always be home by at least 500 so I can get to work on time) and I asked for Tues/Wed nights off since those are the later nights. But the nice thing about that is that even if they get home later, I still have the rest of the night to just hang out instead of work until 930. And it's nice that the nights are broken up--this week, I worked Tues/Wed/Thurs--since it's 4:00 on Thursday, I haven't even started that shift but I'm already wiped from working 3 14+ hour days! Let me tell you, I've been sleeping great the past few nights! haha I also still have weekends at LNT so hopefully I can average in between 20-25 hours per week there too!
The funny thing (to me at least) about this is that I am so NOT a morning person! And at first I thought being up at 6am to get to work by 7am would be rough but it really hasn't been! I realized that, while it's hard WAKING up, once I am up, it's not that hard to stay awake. Plus I've been forcing myself to go to sleep earlier so that I'm getting enough sleep. I know I know...I'm growing up! haha
The other new news is that I moved into padre's place this past weekend! I am actually really enjoying it and think it's going to be great! I'm not sure how long I'll stay (I still have to talk to Gina about when she wants to move out/contact the apartment and see if there's still one available!) but while I'm there, my plans are to SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!! Padre is so funny though--he basically turned the basement into a "mini apartment" for me...he doesn't really use the basement for much so he put a bed down there and he got a closet on wheels. Plus he's getting a dresser so I could put my clothes in there. There's also an entertainment center and a couch down there..so it's kind of like I have a living room and a bedroom! I also have a bathroom downstairs too. No shower but that's ok--I didn't even realize there was a bathroom down there! It makes it so nice because I can just brush my teeth and go to the bathroom before bed without worrying about going upstairs and waking dad! So, I'm real excited about staying with him and thus far, it's been a blast! I think dad's getting used to it so that's good!
Ok I think that's all the updating I can do for now! I have to shower before work (ugh..I don't want to go! haha)
One last note: CONGRATS GINA! My soon to be roommate got a job!! She starts on Monday so I'm super excited! Now we can finally start making our apartment goal a reality!! YAY!

Alright...ready for an update?
Alright so...I promised an update after the interviews so here goes (although I'm sure at this point Stef is the only one reading this and she already knows everything...oh well!)
So yesterday was my interview at Linens N Things...not the greatest thing in the world but hey, it's better than what I have right now...plus I figure even if I only work a little bit, I get a discount to decorate my apartment right?! So anyways, I went there, talked to the guy, and at the end he basically said "alright...as long as nothing comes up in your background check, you've got the job." So that was cool. He also said that they were looking for more nights/weekends so that works out perfect for me since I need a full-time day job anyways. Also, the discount is 25%...not too shabby! Now I can dec out mine and Gina's apartment in some killer stuff for pretty cheap!
Then today, I had an interview with a nanny agency-Above and Beyond Nannies. This was the one I was nervous about just because I had called a different agency and they told me I couldn't go through them because I didn't have a "straight" year of nannying (even though I have 10+ years working with kids...weird I know) so needless to say, I was a little more nervous. But I got there, filled out some paperwork, answered some questions, and then met with the lady. And let me tell you, I will be the first to tell you that I get nervous and uncomfortable in interviews but when I sat down with Erin I felt like I was talking to an old friend. It was so comfortable and she was really great and helpful! The first thing she said to me was "wow...you have excellent penmanship!" bonus! starting off on the right foot! So anyways, after that we just went over the questions I had had to answer previously, she went through my application and we basically just sat and talked for about 45 minutes.
Towards the end, she mentioned a family in Minnetonka that she thought would be a perfect fit for me but wasn't sure since I lived so far away. So she told me to get ahold of this family and just see how the drive is and if it's too much, she definitely has other families to get me in contact with. I thought it was great that she was really open and she wasn't going to be "upset" if I think the drive is too much. I mean Minnetonka is a little bit of a trek but if everything were to work out, I would consider it. Otherwise, she said she has 3-4 other families in mind and quite a few are in Woodbury which would be about a 20 minute drive even in traffic which is not bad at all! I definitely wouldn't mind that. Also, when Erin was asking me what type of family I would like to work with, I told her I wanted a family that wanted me to be out and about with the kids instead of cooped up all day. I told her about the twins from the summer and how the lesbians only wanted me to take them on a walk in the backyard and how I got stir crazy and she said that all the families she works with want their kids out doing things so that was great. I also mentioned a bunch of places that have free activities to do and she said "oh don't worry about that, all the families I work with will pay to have you take their kids to activites--they want them out and about." So I thought that was really great. I mean, there's TONS of free stuff to do but it's nice to know that if I wanted to do something that cost money once in awhile, it wouldn't be an issue.
So it definitely exceeded my expectations--I thought maybe we'd meet and it would take awhile to get everything started but she definitely knows her stuff! She didn't even have to go take a look through family files or anything...during my interview she was mentioning families that would fit with me so I thought that was great and really made me trust that I made the right decision in going with this agency.
Next (and not that anyone really cares about this but I thought it was cool)...when I asked Erin at the end how insurance/taxes/contracts with families work, she said "Basically the way I put it is I'm your agent and you're my movie star. I do all the negotiating and hammering out the details for you." I thought that was really cool. So through this nanny agency, they offer medical and dental insurance to all their nannies (full-time, part-time, temporary, summer) so that's pretty cool. That's something that was definitely a bonus and I needed! Plus, the families all go through a company for taxes so I don't have to worry about any of that (I get a W-2 at the end of the year just like you would through a "regular" company) and when it comes to contracts with families, Erin works out all the details and expectations with you and then negotiates with the family for you. She said it's easier for her to do all the negotiating (especially dealing with money, gas allowance, contribution to health insurance, etc.) for the nannies because then nothing becomes sticky between the family and the nanny which I thought was awesome! That's definitely not my strong point so I'm glad that Erin will be helping me through that!
Lastly, the thing that's great about this agency is their communication. They want you to keep in contact with them while they're finding you a family and once you've been placed with a family because they want to make sure that you're happy and that you made the right choice. They also are always there to call up if you have a problem with your family where you think you need advice or anything like that. And also, if I happen to get sick at some point, I can call them up and they have temporary nannies that can take over for me instead of the parents having to take off work so that's really great! They really seemed to cover all their bases and that's awesome!
So, basically, after almost 4 months of no job (minus nannying here and there for Joey) I get two job offers in two days! I guess it pays off to be patient? (And broke at the same time...haha...these opportunites came at the PERFECT time, let me tell you!) So...that's my exciting news =) Not much else is new...I'll keep you posted on the interviews with families...cross your fingers I find a great family that is semi-close!
Peace!

They really seemed to cover all their bases and that's awesome!
So, basically, after almost 4 months of no job (minus nannying here and there for Joey) I get two job offers in two days! I guess it pays off to be patient? (And broke at the same time...haha...these opportunites came at the PERFECT time, let me tell you!) So...that's my exciting news =) Not much else is new...I'll keep you posted on the interviews with families...cross your fingers I find a great family that is semi-close!
Peace!
