oh my... what an up and down long weekend i've had

i have so much to blog about.

first and foremost, is that i just got fired. i know, right? they didn't have a reason for me (which makes sense seeing as i've never done anything wrong), but i'm pretty sure i just got lumped in with my boss who got fired last week. the thing that really pisses me off is that they waited a week to fire me after her, and i know it's so that i could answer all the new property manager's questions about where everything was, the status of crap, etc.... here's how i'm feeling about my firing:

1. i am relieved that i don't have to work today (haha)
2. i am feeling indignant because i was a good employee (obviously)
3. the work environment was getting yucky and the boss is a really horrible person to work for in general so it's kind of a relief to not have to be in that environment.
4. super shell shocked... i keep thinking, i can't believe i got fired.
5. worried about what i'm going to do next.
6. excited for what i'm going to do next.
7. i feel like this is meant to be for some reason. maybe i'll finish my book sooner than i thought.
8. thank goodness i have a sugar daddy.

overall, i know that even though i might be depressed and hurt for a few days, heavenly father always always takes care of me. so i've got that going for me.

okay, on to other things...

we went to rexburg this weekend. it was such a good trip. i cannot emphasize enough how much i love the boice family. the trip made me want to move in with roberta and bob and never leave their house. i feel like that's not a normal response to one's in-laws, but i have really good ones.
the official reason for the trip was to do taxes, which we did. don't get me started on taxes. don't even get me started. is it me, or is america set up to punish you for being successful? i cannot believe how much money the government rakes in every year. who are they held accountable to??? where is all that freaking money going??? i am disgusted. do you know that they picked a number (right at the point of being succesful) and if you make more than that, you pay 10 PERCENT MORE on every dollar? it's like what's the point? why try to make your business succesful if it all goes to nasa, nukes, and people's welfare checks. ugh. i want to file for unemployment just so i can start taking some back. sorry, enough tax talk.

a highlight of the trip was getting to see my kirsti. oh how i love her. also, navy is quite possibly the funniest little girl ever. it wouldn't do her justice to describe her, you have to experience it first hand.

okay, one last thing (even though there's more stuff, but i feel drained).
tyler was cleaning the carpets in this super nice huge house last week, and he saw a bowl of candy hearts. the guy was in the other room, so he figured it was okay if he snuck one, so he popped one in his mouth... only to discover that they were wooden! they were a decoration.! haha. i laughed and laughed when he told me that.

okay, that's all for now. i'll keep it updated. and i'll also keep it real. those are my promises to you :)

Okay, you don't even know me (though I have a cousin who came down from Canada once and you cut her hair), but I just wanted to say I like reading your blog. It's funny.
And I am way curious what your book is about. I mean, in general terms. What genre? For what audience? How'd you come up with the idea. That kind of thing.
My sister and I have written a book (YA fantasy novel) and we have a manager who is in the process of getting it sold for us. Wouldn't that be nice.

So, that's your random comment for the day. :)

you didnt get fired ...u got layed off...i mean unless you do something bad that is what it is....so now you really can get unemployment....huzzah! just come visit me already

I just laughed out loud about the wooden hearts. That is something you would see in a sitcom. I'm sorry you're sad about getting fired, but just think about the LAST time you got fired and you'll start laughing. Getting fired is funny. Just remember that. Then file for unemployment and get some of your tax money back. I wish I was there during your unemployed time so we could go to the gym together, then go shopping, then go out to lunch somewhere really yummy and unhealty to cancel out our workouts. Love you Nicole! And jealous you got to see Kirsti and Navy.

Well, at least you no longer have to wish you could file for unemployment. You actually CAN, and should. :)
