Happenings as of late

The last few days have been lovely! Here are some hightlights...


Okay this isn't really a highlight, more like a way to defend myself. I bought some pepper spray, you know, just in case those bums on the street as I'm walking home try something....I'll take them down. Yes, this does make me feel safer :)
Tyler sold three alarm systems on Saturday!!! I picked him up at six and we went to Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. It is a street that you can't drive on that has street performers, restaurants, multiple movies theaters and shopping galore! It was a lot of fun!

This makes me laugh! Tyler got picked from some of the street performers to be in their act. They were really funny and you could tell they rehearsed a lot. He was the "rich white guy" and he was pretty much forced to give them $5, which was okay because I thought they deserved it because they were so funny.

And last, but certainly not least, is TRADER JOE'S! Ever since I got here I have heard of this great and unique grocery store so on Thursday I ventured out to it. It was so great! Everything in the store is unique and amazing without being overpriced. I got these ginger cat cookies (for people ha ha) and oriental rice crackers. Tyler doesn't like when I eat the rice crackers because he thinks they smell like burnt dog food. They are SO GOOD! :) I love them! I was eyeing some kettle corn but I'll save that for another time. They have all sorts of foods like a regular grocery store, only the food is unique and they have more varieties of things. I drove a long way down Sunset Blvd. to get there, which was fun.

ALSO, a job update for me: I got a job serving at California Pizza Kitchen that I have trained for Friday, Monday and today so far. The training goes throughout this week and then I begin serving next week! I really like it so far, and I get a free lunch every day which is perfectly convenient since the BBQ chicken salad happens to be my favorite! I get paid $8 an hour PLUS tips! In Utah as a server you get paid $2.15 an hour, which just goes to taxes anyway. This is great! I think it's because the cost of living is so much higher in California. I told the other two jobs I had that I got another offer thatI was accepting. When I am done serving at CPK during the day I am also an office assistant for Platinum Protection, Tyler's company that he sells for. This is nice because the office is just an apartment in our building two floors below. I am actually here right now! I answer the phone when the reps call in and schedule techs out to install the systems. It's very easy!

The Lakers game is tonight so Tyler is coming home early because people don't want to be bothered while they are watching it. I think we might go on a motorcyle ride to Venice beach or something like that! I'll keep you updated :)
