Work, Overnight shift, Cosmetics, Kids and the Fair.

The last few weeks have been very busy. Work has been hectic since we lost two of our presentation team members. We have a new team member called Cris. She seems pretty cool so far. She's a great worker and her being there has helped with the workload somewhat. If she hadn't come in when she did, We would of been absolutely swamped with work! Up until just this week, We've been about three days worth of work behind. Ya know how we're the ones responsible for setting up the aisles and putting out the new product? Well, for the last three weeks up until today, We haven't been pulling the product ourselves for the aisles we just set. We've been having to have help from other teams, That's how far behind we were. The last two weeks before this one was when we had so much work to do that they ACTUALLY payed us overtime. The reason we've been struggling the last couple of weeks is because we've been setting HBA (Health and Beauty). So, the week before last was when we set most of the aisles of Shampoo and stuff like that. Than last week we set various areas, mostly HBA. We set the bath and body works, The perfume and the hair accessories. We also set some of the Intimates the end of last week. This week we set all of the cosmetics. So to have enough time to set it all we worked four 10 hour shifts. On Sunday and Monday we came in at 10:30pm and didn't leave until 9:00am. Then we came in on Wednesday at 3am and didn't leave until 1:30pm. And today (Thursday) we came in a little later at 3:30am because it's pointless to come in early if you have to just sit there for 20 minutes while you wait for them to try and figure out how to override the lights and get them turned back on, Especially when they come on automatically at 3:30am anyway. And we didn't leave until a little after 1pm. We set all of mens socks and the mens hats and belts today. Then we went and did some revisions over in toys. That was not fun! Ya know since it's spring break and all, We had little kids everywhere! They made a mess of the toy aisles. Cris was having THE hardest time out of all of us. She actually had kids purposefully putting toys in her way, They were messing up what she had JUST organized and ya know the labels that go above the hanging product? Well they come on a sheet that has perforated edges. Well one of the kids came over, Grabbed the sheet of labels and tore it in half down the middle! And it wasn't even along the perforated edges! So she had to go all the way to the backroom and print more labels. I can't believe people will just let there kids run wild like that! I would never let my kids do that! So as you may of been able to guess, We've been absolutely exhausted the last 3 weeks. I've been so tired this week that when I would sit down in the break-room for lunch, I would actually start falling asleep. I could literally NOT keep my eyes open! Yesterday and today during lunch I actually dropped my phone because of it. My grip would loosen for just a second and there it went, Clattering to the floor. Poor phone. So I'm pretty happy that I have the next 3 days off. I can sleep as much as I want! After I got home today, I took a 2 hour nap without meaning to. I just sat down and the next thing I know, It's 4pm already. Then I head over to daddys house hangout for a bit before all three of us go to the park to play Frisbee. That was really fun, We haven't done that in a long time! Speaking of fun, We went and checked out the Texas Rodeo and fair the other day. That was awesome! I hadn't been to a fair in many many years. We only rode one ride, But we're all going back on Saturday and we're going to get the all you can ride bracelets and thoroughly enjoy ourselves! As you can tell, I'm really looking forward to it. Aleshia gets back from Springfield MO tomorrow night. She left last Friday night on a bus to visit her family. So she's been gone for a week! Since she's been gone, I've been sleeping on the sofa with mango because that's the only time this week that I've had to spend with him. He has enjoyed it very much! Sleeping on the sofa is also partly why I've been so tired this week. Getting your sleep on a sofa is not nearly as restful as in a bed. But I'll be sleeping there one more night, Then it's back to sleeping in my bed. YAY!!! Another part of why I've been so tired, Especially this week is because me and daddy have started using the gym everyday. We wanna start getting in better shape. Plus we've discovered that you feel a lot better after you workout!

Well I gotta go, Dinner is ready and I'm Starving!! See ya later and I hope you enjoyed hearing what I've been up to :-).

P.S. Here's a pic of the one ride we did get to go on. 

TTYL.

Barton springs pool and pigeons.

We went to Barton springs pool today. It looks like a river with dams at either end. It even has a diving board! I'll take a pic next time I'm there. This is a pic of a gathering of pigeons just up from the pool area near a trashcan. I had never seen so many pigeons gathered in one place! It was awesome! There were more but a bunch of them flew away before I got the pic.
Byebye ttyl. <3

Kite Festival and phone troubles.

Well, Not a lot has been going on lately. Yesterday we went to a Kite festival at zilker park here in Austin. We meant to get there by 10am, But didn't actually get there till noon. It took us an hour to find somewhere to park and the spot we found was at least 1 mile from the park. It took us about half an hour to walk to the park. The bright side of us having to park so far away is... We found the Barton springs pool! YAY!! lol.  The festival was awesome! There had to of been hundreds of awesome kites in the air. And there were thousands of people there at the park. There was music playing and all kinds of venders there, To bad we didn't have any money with us to buy anything. Me and Daddy took pics, They're all on his blog. So I won't be posting them on mine :) (Here's the link to his blog if you want to see them, http://ramblemans.blogspot.com/2012/03/pics-kite-festival-austin-tx.html). It was a gorgeous day out as well which just added to the awesome-ness of the day yesterday.

A couple of days ago I dropped my phone in the toilet (Stupid!!) and fried it. Of course I did that just a couple days before I was going to do my follow-ups! (Can't believe I did that!!) So I tried to transfer my number and service to an old phone of daddy's but I needed a new SIM card for the old phone. So daddy called the customer care line and waited on hold for a little over 30min to talk to them. Now they're sending me a new SIM card, It should be sent in 3-5 days. So meanwhile I have no phone so I can't do any follow-ups on my applications because they would need a phone to contact me at and I don't have one right this moment. As soon as I do I'll be following up on each and every application I've put in since starting the job hunt a few weeks ago.

We now have a cat tree for our kitties. Just got it this afternoon. Mango loves it! Twitch hasn't tried it yet. She's been passed out on the back of the sofa for a few hours now. Mango is passed out on the cat tree.

Well I've decided that eventually I want to go to school/Apprentice for, Cosmetology(Again), Baking and patisserie, Pet grooming and Massage Therapy. It's a good thing I like school and that I have a lot of years ahead of me still.

Well that seems like a good place to end, So Good night/Good morning :). Baibai.

Park day and wireless internet

So daddy joined a Austin unschool email group a few days ago. And we went to a park-day yesterday that they organized and got to meet some of them. Me and Eldin met and walked around the park with a girl called Cela. Turns out that me and her have at least a little bit in common which is pretty cool. The park was pretty big. It had a man-made lake in the middle of it that had a whole bunch of ducks and geese in it. I don't think I've ever seen that many ducks and geese in one place before. Then when Cela and here family had to leave, Me, Eldin and daddy went to play some Frisbee just down from the playground. That was pretty fun. After park-day we had Lunch at Jack-in-the-box. It was really good! Then we stopped at H.E.B and picked up some peanut butter and bacon and then came home. Today so far all we've really done is go to the bank and come back home. We're going to go work out at our little fitness room later. Oh! Me and Eldin are now going to have broadband wireless just like daddy! We're having it installed tomorrow 3-2-12. It'll be nice not having to worry about whether our connection is gonna stay or disappear. Well That's all I got for now. Hope you enjoy! Have a wonderful day, Byebye!  :-)

About my exersice habits and alittle bit about my diet and my blood pressure.

So, I went to the park yesterday and you know those bars that you can do flips on? Well I decided to try doing pull-ups on them (the girly kind) and I could do 2 of them. My dad could only do 1.5 of the same kind. I was very proud of myself for being able to do more of that kind then my strong dad :). Although he can do more of (the manly kind) then I can, He can do 1.75 of them and I can't do any. So that still proves that he is stronger then me :). But I attribute my being able to do that many pull-ups of any kind to my diet. I generally eat in percentage of calories a 70/23/7% ratio of Fat/Protein/Carbs. Saturated Fat being the highest percentage, Then Protein (dead animal flesh and eggs), Then Carbohydrates which I generally don't get that much of Mostly from Ketchup and the trace amounts of carbs in Lunch Meat and Eggs. Plus trace carbs from the trace amounts of dairy that I eat. Basically I don't eat Anything processed except lunch meat and hotdogs which I will be elimanating as soon as I can afford too. I don't eat Pasta,Bread,Cereal,Whole Grains,Rice,Potatos,Sugar or anything white (except seasoning for food). The majority of the time I don't eat any veggies or fruits cause I don't like most of them. I will eat some fruit on occasion but most of the fruits have to many carbs for me to eat very much of them. I don't eat veggies at all simply because I don't like them. Basically I eat Saturated Fat, Meat, Coconut oil and Trace amounts of dairy from the little bit of cheese,butter and sour cream that I eat. I do eat A little dark chocolate every now and them as an indulgence. I drink plenty of water so my ketones are fine and so are my kidneys. I try not to eat more then 25g of carbs a day. Cause if I do I start to gain weight and feel lethargic. My typical Breakfast Lunch and Dinner consist of this, Breakfast is usually Two Large/Medium eggs fried in bacon grease with 2-4 slices of bacon, Lunch is generally either 2 hotdogs with mustard/ketchup Or Some lunch meat, Dinner Is some kind of Meat (Beef, Pork or Chicken Usually). And I tend to eat the meat with ketchup unless we don't have any ketchup at which point I eat it with Mustard. I do exercise a little bit, All I normally do for exercise is go for a brisk 15min walk everyday with my mom. Sometimes I work out but not very often, I don't really need too and I don't really like to cause It's not very fun doing workouts by yourself. My blood pressure is normally around (systolic/diastolic) 90/60 with a pulse rate of around 60. Now I know that reading seems low to most people, But It's perfectly normal to me. I'm never dizzy and I never feel faint unless I eat alot of carbs, So I know my blood pressure is fine. I've had "Low" blood pressure since we started doing various versions of Low-carb. We now do Primal(Meat and fruits and veggies) and as soon as we can afford it we will be eating Paleo(Grass fed and grass finished meat and local non-GMO produce grown without pesticides). Just been thinking about all this lately. Because alot of my Facebook friends think It's horribly unhealthy not to eat grains,veggies and fruits when it's really not. And really want me to get my kidneys and ketones checked. But I don't need them checked cause I know they are fine, both of them. Since I eat alot of Saturated fat with my protein and drink alot of Water. But what I think is Unhealthy is Eating all the whole grains and sugars and such. I also think that veganism and vegetarianism is horribly unhealthy because you NEED Saturated fat and protein. And any diet where you have to take alot of supplements can't be a healthy diet. I have more reasons why veganism and vegetarianism are unhealthy but I don't feel like writing them right now. Well I've probably talked enough for now, Hope I haven't bored you all to much :). Sayonara for now, Arigato for reading. Till next time. :)
