Today, I woke up at around 6:00 AM. Around 7:00 AM up to 11:00 AM I've been playing Kingdom Hearts while Kim reads the FAQ to me. I've gotten much farther than when I last wrote about it. I'm in the part of the game about Aladdin. Anyway, I just took a shower to get ready to go to the theater with Kim and Michael. We're going to go see Ghost Ship. But, before we go there, we're going to Mom's so that Michael can get cleaned up, so we'll probably end up staying about an hour or two over there. That's all for now.

Well, today has been good so far. We did go to China Star and I majorly pigged out. After I left I was a little queezy, but hey, it was good! I also got $80 for my birthday, but spent $70 of it on paying my Mom for the phone bill. So, with the $10, I rented Kingdom Hearts. So far it looks like a good game, but I think what I'm going to want to do is read the walkthrough for it.
Not a whole lot has happened lately. It's kindof just been Kim and I together at home. A note on the job search: later today, I'm going to a place called Turner Pipes to put in an application, and somebody my mom talked to said there was a good chance that I would get hired there. I just hope that's the case. Also, as a birthday present, my Mom is going to take Kim, Michael, and I to China Star for lunch. Mmmm, I haven't had Chinese food in a LONG time. Oh yeah! Yesterday, for the first time ever, Kim and I went out on a picnic w/ some chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, and gravy. It was great! Anyway, that's all I can think of for this blog. I'll do more later as it comes!

A lot has happened since I last blogged... The main reason is because last Friday, a friend of mine, Marc, came by with a TON of PS2 games. I borrowed Harvest Moon, Final Fantasy X, and Theme Park Roller Coaster. He also just gave me Giants: Citizen Kabuto because he said he hated it, but I've played it a lot, and I really like it. Also, my sleep schedule has been really whacked out lately. I've been sleeping in the day and awake at night, so it's made it harder to look for jobs. However, today I bought 100 benadryl, so I'm going to start using them when I can't sleep. Also, yesterday, Kim's parents drove down to visit. I felt kinda bad at first because the house wasn't as clean as it should have been, but they helped us clean, so I'm really thankful. They also took us out to Chili's, then took us to Wal-Mart to get a few cleaning supplies and trash bags and such. Her parents have helped us out a LOT. In fact, a lot more than my parents have, and probably ever will. I'm really lucky to have in-laws as great as they are.

Well, it seems today that I overslept and missed going to put in my application at the Superette. I'll do my best to go there Monday. I also called Michael today to see if Kim and I could stay the night, but he already had company. Maybe tomorrow we could stay, and maybe rent Kingdom Hearts. It seems like it would be a pretty good game, especially if Squaresoft had a hand in making it. I'm messaging him right now, but I'm not getting any replies. He's probably already rented a game and is playing it. Sigh, oh well. Oh yeah, I've also been messing with Kim a lot lately. Right now I think she's really mad at me... I think I'll stop and go see if I can cheer her up or something.

So far, today has been a rather boring day. We haven't even left the house. I did, however, call my cousin about the $20 that he owes me and about the possible job at the machine shop in Blossom, but it was only a call to receive bad news. It would have been fun to get the $20 and rent a couple of $0.49 movies from Hastings for Kim and I, but oh well. Kim also talked to my Mom today (who was actually at home... amazing) about a job at the Superette right across the street. I'm supposed to go there tomorrow and fill out an application tomorrow. Hopefully I can land a job there, especially since it's so close to home.

Today was a pretty average day. Kim and I both went to Paris to run a couple of errands; we sold some VHS tapes to Easy Pawn, went to the Texas Workforce Center to search for jobs, and went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few groceries. After that, we went to my Mom's house to drop off the $2 that she loaned me 3 days ago. She wasn't there, but my brother was, so we just left the $2 with him. While we were coming home, Kim and I talked about how Mom was never home... It's so crazy. The last I heard, she goes to all her different doctors about 3 times a week, and each doctor is at least an hour away. I don't mean to speak bad of my Mom, because God knows I do love her, but this seems so out of hand. Michael misses a lot of school because she's gone so much, or too doped up on medication to take him, or whatever the reason is. I don't think it's really fair to Michael, but I guess I really have no room to talk. Anyway, back to the subject at hand. After we left Mom's house, we came back to our apartment and unloaded the groceries. I tried to install The Sims: Livin' Large, but it just doesn't seem to work. Maybe I can get another installation to work correctly, who knows. I'm thinking about going back to Michael's tonight to download the 400MB version of it on his cable modem. I really want this game, because I know Kim enjoys it so much, and I enjoy watching her and playing the game with her, not to mention annoying her every time she messes up a little, heh.

First, I want to get things up to speed. My fiancée, Kim, is pregnant. Our baby was due on March 17th, but about a week ago, it got pushed forward three days to March 20th. I can't wait! Right now, her stomach is getting tighter and I can finally feel the baby. It's probably the most amazing feeling in the world. However, everything isn't as peachy as you would think it is; we're both without jobs and running very low on cash. Rent and bills are all getting due and I don't know what we're going to do. We're looking for jobs, but there just isn't a big job market right now. Even if there were, it's getting close to Christmas, so most jobs are probably becoming seasonal. I try not to think about it, so I guess I'll stop writing about the bad things.
