As of today I have a 4.0, As of tomorrow I will not. I am in an accounting class and it is the hardest class I have ever taken. Well except there was a finance class in my undergrad that was really hard, but his grading scale was strange and a D translated to a C. :) This accounting class doesn't work that way. I sit in a classroom for 8 hours on Saturday and listen to this giant, very smart man ramble off accounting crap. There is NO outline or system to his rambles. Then we take a test, and we had to write a paper. Today is the last class. We have one more online test to take, I'm would LOVE if I made an A but I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a C. If I can keep my grades up in the other classes maybe it will not effect me too bad. If so then maybe later I will retake the class.</div><div><br /></div><div>A lady in my class said......"You are too hard on yourself, you worry too much." I have never thought that about myself until she pointed it out. I think I judge others so much that I judge myself even more. This is not a good quality and it cause me headaches and stress. I must change. She also shared a quote with me that a mentor had shared with her and I am going to try to live by it. "Your worst is better than some peoples worse."</div>The Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879798534801275187.post-22628307172153157122011-04-19T18:56:00.000-07:002011-04-19T18:59:20.196-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="line-height: 115%; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); " >Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 12px; "><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 12px; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaBQ6H5RLc9i-BmulqB50Cal-Z-sMx-_Q5rnzMAMy8BVb6rJqIsX5yuhpSLeT80c9T1S2radD4lyHP4bVuXcLNkA0p2c-JB1BJaEzcOg_RYmnaAdHEr9mDEMzdOv7SjRaZ_UjmGfB0Dcbg/s320/criminal+minds.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 106px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597479245613255666" /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 12px; ">I have many shows that I love, but this one happens to be my most favorite right now. :)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 12px; "><br /></span></span></span><div><span style="line-height: 115%; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); " ><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:8.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; color:#333333;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><br /></span></div></div>The Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879798534801275187.post-2147589724200131592011-04-11T15:33:00.000-07:002011-04-11T15:41:05.484-07:00Day 2<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdGc5EDkZPyyW1fHLbmXOR6bvUL_v_c0rsRZRus35pKGjKAvJhrmGzZn_UyqSreDwb3XP6turQB1TNeRjmvR5S9F5J_hx6B05ony-ITc23sTlhAUUeIyPpmObOq3QaAaADxNmw2z5BX8f/s1600/DSC_0587.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdGc5EDkZPyyW1fHLbmXOR6bvUL_v_c0rsRZRus35pKGjKAvJhrmGzZn_UyqSreDwb3XP6turQB1TNeRjmvR5S9F5J_hx6B05ony-ITc23sTlhAUUeIyPpmObOq3QaAaADxNmw2z5BX8f/s320/DSC_0587.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594459476355955026" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">My Mom and my Big Sister.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><u><br /></u></span></div><br /><span style="font-size:8.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; color:#333333;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for the longest.</span>The Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879798534801275187.post-22636572842086507562011-04-04T23:01:00.001-07:002011-04-10T22:01:45.231-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" >I don't normally do these things BUT since I don't blog much anymore I thought this would be a way to get back into it.

It was a blast! These are the girls I went with along with Alex Boye and Mark (I think it was Davis) Alex sings and Mark plays the piano. It was the best part of the entire conference! It was so uplifting, Alex also spoke and what a motivational speaker!<br />(Left to right: Mark, Me, Durley, Melissa, Bree, and Alex Boye)<br /><div></div>The Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879798534801275187.post-82276311293385908972010-04-21T20:41:00.000-07:002010-04-21T20:46:42.448-07:00Excitement!I have had a blog for a very long time.

I think I look Lovely in it!! One of the buttons fell off when I got back from Texas but someone in California that thinks I'm swell, sewed it back on for me! :)</div><div> </div><div>Ashley's birthday was the 19th. She informed me when I moved here that this was "all about Ashley day." I stayed up until after she went to sleep and put notes all around the house. Well my intention was all around the house but they all ended up in her room. I put a big one on the mirror that said "Happy Birthday Ashley I love you-love Amber" then there was one inside the medicine cabinet that said Happy Birthday and one in the drawer where she keeps her make-up one the room with the toilet and one in the closet. She enjoyed hunting them down. </div><div> </div><div>She always wants to eat a Jack in the Box and Chilli's on her birthday. We met the boys for Lunch at Chilli's and then did some shopping, went by Priscilla's and watched a movie. Then for dinner we ate Jack in the Box. I made sure I was extra nice that day. Here is a Picture from lunch. </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWPJ1A5FCWDwU-rzazlbBwz3S8VNytX7i7NVBfGolDSDkBixp4hUtvR8j0VTBE1p9R51-1D8_xOYKm_fzrDRIRS5eiFi1wr31Yj-j633ony8GUdt8TYEy2ffPWvF4I0oj0RXLiUjg6V7rO/s1600-h/Ashley+Birthday.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431319920443635794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWPJ1A5FCWDwU-rzazlbBwz3S8VNytX7i7NVBfGolDSDkBixp4hUtvR8j0VTBE1p9R51-1D8_xOYKm_fzrDRIRS5eiFi1wr31Yj-j633ony8GUdt8TYEy2ffPWvF4I0oj0RXLiUjg6V7rO/s320/Ashley+Birthday.jpg" /></a><br />Ashley's friend Priscilla has 5 kids. I have pretty much adopted the youngest 3 since moving here. Alianna is about to turn a year old, Christian is 5, and Angie is 8. I was at the house one day when Angie came home from school and said she was going on a field trip. I asked if people could go as helpers. She said yes and wanted me to go so I did. It was so fun. I didn't ride the bus. I made a sack lunch and left it in my car, I was so hungry after the field trip. We went to the Western Science Museum. We learned about the water cycle, why there are not dinosaur bones in California, and about the fossils that were found and what paleontologist and archaeologist do. </div><div>The kids got to be archaeologist and dig for fossils in the lab. It was pretty neat. They also made fossils in another part and looked at different stuff. Then we ate our lunch and the kids went back to school and I came home. It was a fun day and makes me excited to have kids and get to help out at their schools someday in the future.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi60Fz9KxJHQxCWgAuVwbJdeeR8Ko8O3xfnNUWw5XykY-LPnb2NwQWm1wZIUwSHh6X2wn_pwdcHoQ1HzTydCsOutnCCCWARogKSzFVZpvu1hJNXvIxeoxDfhyphenhyphenY08USiG-FyG9nBYHHW9S_X/s1600-h/supplies.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431319928034246642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi60Fz9KxJHQxCWgAuVwbJdeeR8Ko8O3xfnNUWw5XykY-LPnb2NwQWm1wZIUwSHh6X2wn_pwdcHoQ1HzTydCsOutnCCCWARogKSzFVZpvu1hJNXvIxeoxDfhyphenhyphenY08USiG-FyG9nBYHHW9S_X/s320/supplies.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHjLSGW8NmQAHwaKsvu6lC3uzeEwYVswxnf2HaDrTGuyZVujWBHnyFzTPSoY9bae5IM-KHpfJlbjFAIdRfmSjhz49Vw4i-AIEuBsrd49iFme0YhUf811oijB4zXlXspqtLYWUuT9enKlPK/s1600-h/dirt.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431319937638704658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHjLSGW8NmQAHwaKsvu6lC3uzeEwYVswxnf2HaDrTGuyZVujWBHnyFzTPSoY9bae5IM-KHpfJlbjFAIdRfmSjhz49Vw4i-AIEuBsrd49iFme0YhUf811oijB4zXlXspqtLYWUuT9enKlPK/s320/dirt.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGQIqcuZFKsh5JU5obEEwEICrKBZ8UtIf6p2U_GZVWoHTwLMY9F7Pbvtg3Cm8hHKfxuWqMwU19on2Xkk1XeVFOtZDJGnPo9IBGpYyhfkGa_NCsM37JdqQQ63cqOCk_Z0YhmFwv8CkpQf2f/s1600-h/digging.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431319944137436642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGQIqcuZFKsh5JU5obEEwEICrKBZ8UtIf6p2U_GZVWoHTwLMY9F7Pbvtg3Cm8hHKfxuWqMwU19on2Xkk1XeVFOtZDJGnPo9IBGpYyhfkGa_NCsM37JdqQQ63cqOCk_Z0YhmFwv8CkpQf2f/s320/digging.jpg" /></a><br /><div>I'm still on the hunt for a job, and I'm hopeful something will come about real soon. </div></div></div></div>The Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879798534801275187.post-60525067762588358142009-12-03T14:09:00.000-08:002009-12-03T14:13:36.918-08:00My daysMy days consit of sleeping in till way past 10, I wake email/FB, eat, shower and usually have nothing else to do so I nap. Yup I'm usually not even sleepy I just have nothing to do so I lay down and before I know it I'm out as if I was actually sleepy.<br /><br />I have pretty much stopped looking for a job until I get back from Texas, everything seems to be seasonal. I hear the job market should pick up in January. Can you say a prayer, please?<br /><br />I'm pretty much down to enough money to live for the next couple of months so extra spending is just out of the question. Which forces me to stay home and be bored.<br /><br />I know that one day I will be so busy I will look back and say why did I not treasure these days but for now I would actually like to stab myself I'm so bored! <br /><br />Today I woke up around 9:30 and cleaned with Ashley cause Mimi is coming, Today I have been occupied so I will stay alive at least one more day! :)The Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879798534801275187.post-22998813282936749482009-12-03T14:06:00.000-08:002009-12-03T14:09:00.122-08:00No really does mean no this year.I think every year I say I'm not sending Christmas cards and then I end up doing it anyways. I just love Christmas cards. I love getting them and I love even more trying to come up with a cool picture to put in mine. Since I don't have kids I have to be a little clever.<br /><br />This year I will be in Texas the 16th- 6th. No time to send cards. I also have no money. :( I would not even be able to buy stamps. :(<br /><br />I still would love to get cards from everyone else. I do understand no send no get, but just maybe you will take pity on me and send one anyways. :)The Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879798534801275187.post-40760725839553947052009-11-21T01:18:00.001-08:002009-11-21T01:25:53.598-08:00I can't believe it eitherYup, I went and saw New Moon today. I know I still can't believe it either. I haven't read any of the books and only saw some of the first movie when the kids or someone else was watching it. I was reading in the people magazine the other day that Dakota Fanning was in New Moon and I really like her so I thought I would maybe watch it.<br /><br />Today a friend called and asked if I would take her 13 year old to see it because she has little ones and couldn't. She bought my ticket and I went and I took a friend with me who did read the books.<br /><br />I got in the theatre and after waiting in a huge line, and when the previews were over the screaming started, and there was more when Jacob took off his shirt.<br /><br />SPOILER ALERT!<br /><br />I was a little sad that Dakota Fanning was only in the movie for maybe 10 minutes and it was near the end.<br />There were lots of people saying "NO" and "WHAT" at the end.<br /><br />SPOILER ALERT OVER! (wasn't a very big spoiler was it?)<br /><br />All in all it was a good movie. I'm not into the whole vampire scene and get a little confused, but I liked the movie.<br /><br />On another note there were some great previews! I think When in Rome, Dear John, and Dear Juliet (or something like that) will be good movies!The Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879798534801275187.post-17371707254253406502009-11-21T01:15:00.000-08:002009-11-21T01:18:01.024-08:00Texas here I comeI bought tickets to go home for Christmas, but not just Christmas I will be there new years too!

It was nice, well just walking and talking, not getting up early.<br /><br />Then the real me showed. I became a grouch in the mornings. I have always not been a morning person at all! I just don't like mornings and I do not like to be talked to in the mornings. I guess I had been a little of a grouch the whole time Ashley just finally got fed up. She said I was mean and she was no longer going to wake me. She wasn't joking either, so I just stopped getting up. We don't walk together anymore, and it is a little bit sad. I usually just jump on the treadmill after I get up.<br /><br />I continue to be a grouch in the morning and then the other day I decided that it just isn't nice. I'm trying to be better and today I was. YEAH!!!<br /><br />However, I usually sleep till noon unless I have to get up and I stay up until 3AM when the TV channels all switch over to paid programing.<br /><br />What kind of life is this??? You would think I would opt to change, but I like quiet night time alone and then Ashley has quiet time in the mornings to do homework. I figure once I find a job I will have to give up staying up late and sleeping in but for the rest of this week anyways (one more day) I'm going to keep on being lazy!<br /><br />I agree noon is just a little late. I will try better next week. :)The Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879798534801275187.post-76345529522163022722009-11-10T23:52:00.001-08:002009-11-10T23:52:04.699-08:00Just testing this out.

I was going to post some blogs and put up pictures from my Halloween, The pirate party, Boat dance and just other stuff.<br /><br />I started the Pirate Party and uploaded pictures and started typing but then I remembered that there were some other pictures I need to put on the computer. Then I switched to the boat dance and uploaded them but for some reason I can not move them once uploaded like I did before. GRRRRRR<br /><br />Now I'm irritated because I didn't upload them in the right order, and now that I'm irritated I'm just not doing it. Most of them are already on facebook and I only think a few people read this and the people that I know read it are on my facebook so they have probably already seen them.<br /><br />I'm still looking for a job. Some days I think that will end up being the story of my life.The Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879798534801275187.post-5214825342321568852009-10-20T15:50:00.000-07:002009-10-20T16:03:18.217-07:00My busy week!This is the best week ever! Listen to my Calender!<br /><br />Monday - I gave the lesson at FHE (a church function where we get together have a lesson and hang out) I was suppose to talk on Elder Wirthin's talk "Come what may and love it" It was mostly about how we all have trials in life and the Lord gives them to us so we can grow and be strong. WELL.....when people heard I was talking they got all excited to hear about TEXAS. At the last minute I changed it and talked about TX. Cali folk LOVE LOVE my accent which I like because I was scared it would be really annoying to them like twang accents are to me. I made everyone laugh, and they say they like me. It was nice!<br /><br />Tuesday- Today I applied for some jobs. I'm still having a TRIAL here but like Elder Wirthin says "Come what may and love it." :) Tonight I'm just hanging at the house.<br /><br />Wednesday- The girls from church are going over to the Smith's house (I love the Smiths, Brother Smith graduated from TAMU Commerce just like me, but before it was TAMU) We are eating Halloween food and watching a movie. My new good friend Melissa (We have really hit it off, we are way alike) is in charge and because we are friends I'm helping her!<br /><br />Thursday - Every Thursday I have Institute (It's like a Bible study class) I'm not the teacher but I'm in charge. I plan activities and go to meetings where other towns Institutes come together and plan activities. This Thursday after class everyone is coming back to my house to roast marshmallows in the back yard.<br /><br />Friday- We are going country line dancing. Everyone is really really shocked that I do not own boots and do not know how to country dance.<br /><br />Saturday- I actually had two things to choose from 1 was the above mentioned Institute activity in a nearby town, but instead I'm going with my new friend Melissa to a Pirate Party! It is a family that has a big party every year and this year the theme is Pirates! My costume is going to be crunk!<br /><br />WOW so busy!! I love it! I love it so much here I have so many friends that have the same standards as me and are single like me! It is so great!<br /><br />Oh and on the 30th is the boat dance in San Diego, that has to be the best part about this entire month!<br /><br />Love and Miss all<br />CaliAmberThe Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879798534801275187.post-68322227460423748662009-10-06T22:22:00.001-07:002009-10-06T22:29:37.493-07:00The simple things<div><div><div><div>I love Halloween Oreos.

Ashley and I enjoyed a night out. We ate dinner did some shopping and went to the movies.<br /><br />The regular movie here cost $11.75!! Highway robbery to me! I heard about a theater here that is a little cheaper and some of the older movies. I suggested we check it out. I admit it was a little dark and dreary this neighborhood. Let me tell you first since I have lived here I have yet to find a "Ghetto" side of town, this may be the closes, but still not bad.<br /><br />We decided to see the Proposal we get our tickets, candy, coke and popcorn. We saved so much on the tickets we had the money for junk. Oh yah the tickets were $4.25, a steal if you ask me.<br /><br />We were a little early and the first in the theater as we are walking past the broken seat to sit down Ashley says "I'm scared, I'm scared I'm going to get lice, this place is gross." I say "It is no worse than the dollar movie in Mesquite." to which she replies "Yeah and do you ever go there?" my answer "Well no, it's gross."<br /><br />We wait patiently for the lights to dim and the show to start all while the empty seats around us are quickly filling up. I get so lucky that two girls come in right as the previews start and have to discuss what they want to get from the snack bar. If you really know me then you know that I DO NOT like to miss the previews of the movies.<br /><br />Into the beginning of the movie the jerks are still talking. At some point the stopped, but don't get to happy because I am so lucky and have done something right to be so lucky that a guy walks in and sits next to one of the girls. He is RIGHT in front of me, and do you know what happened next, they started kissing and I'm not talking a nice little hello nice to see you today kiss. I'm talking a loud I can hear you kissing, THANK YOU! Kiss! I could even hear it over the movie. It irritated me more than the guy in my left ear repeating every other word of the movie.<br /><br />YES, folks I should have paid $11.75, but would it have been any different?<br /><br />Oh and in case your wondering, we pulled our hair up, and didn't lean back in the seats. We are lice free!The Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879798534801275187.post-81096532008065218412009-09-27T11:14:00.000-07:002009-09-27T11:21:31.803-07:00The search continuesI know I'm not keeping a very good updated blog at all. I promised I would when I moved for mom.<br /><br />Here is a quick one:<br /><br />Still hunting for a job, the economy stinks in case you haven't heard.<br /><br />I made some friends at church so I have been getting out of the house a little more.<br /><br />Monroe is on a 10 day leave before he goes back to training then he comes home for a few days and then leaves. With him here we have been sleeping in, and eating all kinds of junk.<br /><br />Those 7 pounds I lost, are back.<br /><br />I got my hair cut, It is around my shoulders. Once I can fix it and like it I will take a picture.<br /><br />I'm using my GPS less and less.<br /><br />I haven't been to the beach since Maddi left.<br /><br />That is all I can think of now.<br /><br />Love and miss all,<br />CaliAmberThe Ketchup Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16635168777959358670noreply@blogger.com0
