The Road to: CA State Fair and an Employment Update!

I suppose an employment update is due! Big news! I am currently working for 2 different offices! Each office is only one day a week: I am in one office on Wednesdays, and another on Saturdays. I have had these jobs for a few weeks and I'm finally getting the hang of it! The rest of my days depend on whether or not I have a working interview (which is scarce), or if my temp agency calls me! I've been averaging 1 day a week with my temp agency, which is perfect. :)

Do not let this fool you, it sounds like I only have 2-3 days a week, but I make sure to work full time hours. I have actually been working 6 days a week these past couple weeks! I have been covering a front desk job for California Fairs on my non-hygiene days because their receptionist went to Italy. (Lucky woman!) It's been really nice because they have been so flexible with my hygiene schedule, and I got two free tickets out of it! I was able to take my husband to the state fair after I got off on Saturday! It was really fun. Other weeks, I do odd jobs to fill in the rest of my non-hygiene days. More often than not, I find myself nannying which is something I really enjoy. I wish I could work in a pediatric office because I love the kiddos so much, but pediatric offices generally only hire dental assistants. Bummer!

California State Fair! My southern man talked me into trying deep friend cheesecake. No regrets! We also got to watch the world record holding Splashdog. So cute! Click on the picture below to see her jump 30 feet!

Happy 4th of July!


Happy 4th of July! Did you know you can celebrate with toothpaste?! I must say, it is a beauty hack I DON'T recommend :) 

It has already been an eventful 4th of July weekend! I got diode laser certified in the BEAUTIFUL city of Sonoma! It might be a new life goal of mine to live there now, because WOW. Take the time to look up photos of it, it will not be time wasted! The course was really fun, and refining my laser skills with a tomato really made me feel like I was in school again! We also got to practice with pig jaws which was really neat. Pigs have the WEIRDEST teeth!



Right after my laser course I drove straight to the Folsom Rodeo. I met my husband there for a double date with my parents! It was so much fun! If you have never seen a mutton bustin' event in your life, I HIGHLY recommend it. Watching 5 year old kids try to ride sheep is the greatest.

I am going to help my husband work at Rancho Cordova's 4th of July Festival today, then we are heading over to my parents' house for a 4th of July barbecue with my brother's family. Let the festivities continue! Stay safe, fed, and cool today my friends! :)
