house huntin

sorry it’s been awhile since I’ve updated. With a little nudge from a friend I am finally getting a minute to sit down…or so I think…I started typing the first line 5 minutes ago. Things in the bookstore have been more than hectic lately with the start of Summer Session I. Professors have messed up orders and we have had to fix them. Students want everything at their fingertips now! Donnie won’t give us any Summer help like he has previous Summers. So, we went from 16 student workers down to 2. One can only work 830-10am (the slowest time) and the other can only work 12-2. So we have had to answer the phones, run back and forth to the front and do our own jobs along with ship an average of 100 packages a day.

Enough about that…what I”m really writing about is exciting…at least for Justin and I. We are looking for a new place to call home (after September 25th that is hehe). There is one house close to our friends’ Meagan and Brandon that really just needs some love and ….paint. it is covered by overgrown bushes and trees and really doesn’t look all that appealing on the outside. We were able to go see it earlier this week on the inside and wow…what a hidden treasure. Yes, it will need some wall paper taken down and some cleaning but it is huge and a little old but comes with a nice newer stove, microwave, and dishwasher. One of the first things I saw was the window seat in the living room. I’ve always wanted one. It really just felt like home walking in it. It has a big basement that will be Justin’s playpen and plenty of storage. We have tried to look at other houses and it seems like we’ve been to all of them. None of the others give us the feeling of “home”. Pray for us and please feel free to share your opinions and advice.

getting somewhere…

I never got a fax that was promised yesterday from Boone High Country. I called this morning and talked to my ex agent again. She said she tried but couldn’t get it to work. She said she would try again tomorrow when she was back in the right office and that she called GMAC and sent them another form and that it should be taken care of in 48 hours. We shall see! I plan to call in 48 hours to find out. With the lapse issue she said she send them the FS-1 form, them being their local tag office to fix the problem. I’m nervous about that fixing anything considering I just went to my local office last week and was told everything was “ok”. I guess I’ll call them in 10 business days like they said.

frustrated…

I’ve been really busy lately gearing up for Summer classes and dealing with Graduation stuff. I’ve touched/packed nearly 700 books in the last 8 days to ship out to students. Justin was really sweet last week and came on his day off to help me ship some books out. He stayed for hours and with his help 100 packages were shipped out with multiple books in them. Thank you honey!

I’ve also been busy this week and last dealing with old car insurance issues. It seems that the Dept of Transportation thinks I’ve had a lapse of insurance when that is not possible and my original insurance thinks I need to pay a month worth that I was no longer with them. I thought I had it all taken care of and yesterday received more threatening letters in the mail of fines and legal action if I don’t either pay or fix it. I thought I had! but apparently my old agent hasn’t been doing her job! I called the Dept of Transportation today to tell them I had already been to the tag office and was told everything was taken care of. The lady first tried to tell me I only owned a pontiac and I told her no. She got snotty with me and told me yes I did! I asked her what she thought my name was and it was some Mexican name. I don’t know how she got that info! Anyway…she got really hateful with me about the whole matter and told me I didn’t take care of it, like I was told…yadda yadda. So I waited a few hours until I cooled down and called my ex-agent once again. She told me she would fax me a copy of the FS-1 form the Dept of Transportation wanted and the DOT as well and call the GMAC company to straighten out the other issue of billing and send that on a memo with the fax. Have I seen a fax yet? I bet you can guess the answer to that…It has now been 4 hours. I’m trying my hardest not to be mean but I starting to think I might have to in order to get something done before it ruins my credit and I get taken to court for something I didn’t do. Oh well…that’s how my day/week has been so far. I’ll try to keep you posted.

undecided

so here’s the deal… I might have the opportunity to get my MBA for free from GWU. I’ve always thought about continuing on for my masters but I just didn’t want the added debt to pay off later. After talking to a few people yesterday I found out that I could get my degree for free while working here. I was/am still a little shaky and nervous about the possibility. Especially due to the GMAT I’d have to take. Yesterday and today I feel like God is really leading me in that direction. Several people I don’t normally see on campus have come up to me and asked me if I was going to get my MBA. I’ve talked to some others about it and have gotten a good report and encouragement. My two bosses are going for their MBA this coming year as well so I’d have help. And this morning, out of the blue the dean of the business school came in here looking for Wayne and asked me when I was going to get my MBA cuz I’m a “smart girl Miller”. I talked with him for a little while on what it would be like and about the GMAT. I know it would be a lot of work but if I did choose to go after it, I think I would wait and start in the Spring of 2005. I guess I’m also wondering what you all think. It might help me with my decision. Don’t be afraid to hit the comment button and let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks!

busy summer

I’ve got news…I’ve got all sorts of news…

This past weekend Justin and I went to Polk County. Saturday was Stacey’s prom night. Boy did she look amazing in that dress! Hopefully soon Justin will have the pics on his site. I loved her hair too! I hope you can see what I mean in the pictures. I hope she had a great time!

Sunday the girls went to a baby shower for Crystal and Todd. There were so many cute little outfits and blankets…and some good food too 😉 While we were out the boys snoozed on the couch and watched the race. Life’s rough isn’t it boys? 😉

I had a lot of fun and it had been way too long since we had been able to spend a lot of time there.

In other news…it looks like I’ll be a busy Bonnie this Summer. Not only do I need to order Fall books/check them in and shelve them, Work long hours during both rushes for Summer, and finish planning a wedding…but Jennifer just heard that she got the job she tried for in Charlotte! Isn’t that awesome! I am soooo happy for her! The only downside to all this excitement is the moving around. Hopefully, if the offer still stands I will move in with Heather and Tabitha in June until the wedding. Jennifer will go on her cruise in the middle of May and once she gets back will have to find a place in a hurry. Wish us luck! Isn’t life so exciting how things change so fast?

news news news

I know you are probably getting tired of my news findings but these stories are pretty good. I especially like the one about the 3 eyed, 2 mouthed cow 😉

On another note…TGIF! It hasn’t been the longest of weeks but not the shortest either. I still haven’t caught up on lost sleep from last weekend. It is also pay day! And boy am I glad. Not that I get to keep much of it but it’s been a long month hehe. Have a great weekend!
