I definitely had a full weekend, working OT for a few hours and having Isaiah overnight. I usually end up sleeping in ‘til about 10 or 11 on Saturdays, so having to get up early to go to work made my day fuller, which is good actually. I’ve been wanting to go down to Newport for awhile now, but restraining myself only because I’ve been trying to be careful how I spend my money while paying off this debt of mine. But this week I have a little room so I decided to head down to Fashion Island after I picked up Isaiah. We walked around for a bit and ate dinner down there. He’s been asking me if I can buy him one of those pirate hooks you wear on your hand for awhile, so I told him we can look inside Toy Boat to see if they have anything. Well, lo and behold, there was a small corner full of pirate things, including the hook, and I couldn’t believe that this small kit with the hook, eye patch, sword and knife was only $6.00! I mean, for a toy store in Newport, I was pretty amazed. It could have easily cost $10 and it almost seems like it should have. But hey, I was happy and so was Isaiah so I’m not complaining. Overall, it was nice just to get down there for the evening and get some cool air.
Also, Annamarie bought him a small guitar just right for his size, just out of the blue, so now he has a guitar to play around with. We were playing together for a bit Sunday night. I’ll need to start showing him how to play so he can really put it to use. I mean, my dad started playing when he was four years old, so I know he’s teachable! But still I think he’s still so young, I wonder if he would even be interested in playing so young. It’s going to take patience and discipline on his part, but if he wants to play, I’m willing to take the time to show him…definitely. I think my dad will be both surprised and blessed to know that his grandson wants to learn guitar at his age. I’ll have to send him some pics!
Saturday, we went to church as usual. I like to get there during 2nd service and just hang out by the fountain with him, then go into 3rd service. Afterwards, we went to the park with my mom, and went rollerblading! I was blessed doing that with him because we never have. He brought his rollerblades with him, and I had some already, so I got them out of the storage and we rollerbladed for a few hours, so I got a pretty good workout! lol I know I’m gonna feel it tomorrow…all over probably. I started wondering if I should start rollerblading a few times a week after work to get a small workout, especially since the sun is going to be up longer, it would give me time before the sun went down. Hmmm…I’m thinking about it…not sure yet. I’m even thinking about going down to that new baseball park they just built in Chino Hills. They actually just moved it down the street because they’re building a shopping center where the old one was. They’re also building a new Civic Center on that same street to replace the one they had right next door to the old park, so they’re doing a lot new things there. I already know it’s going to get pretty congested once all that is done, because that street already has a high school, two churches and a post office. After the Civic Center and shopping center are done, oh boy. Well, the good news for me is that I can go around all that both going to work and going home, so I can avoid all the traffic around there. And I usually shop in the Chino Spectrum. But I wonder what they’re planning to build there. Just the usual outdoor mall we have in the Spectrum with the same shops, or some new stuff that are lacking, like a music store like Sam Ash, or something like that? I hope there’s some new stuff. Hmmm…maybe I shouldn’t be saying that. I don’t need new stuff to spend money on! lol I’m trying to pay debt off here. So yes, I hope it’s the same old boring shops we have in Chino…yes, definitely. lol
Well, it seems like we’re caught up at work. I wasn’t asked to come in early on Monday. I wouldn’t mind at all working a few more hours of overtime, cause that would help tremendously in bringing down more debt. What’s awesome about all this OT from last week is that I’ll be able to bring down Creditcard #1 a good amount, since without this OT I was barely going to make a difference, cause I had a few other debts I needed to get cleared, so I thank the Lord for allowing all this OT to come in at this time! Thank you Lord! It helps so much! I’m also going to have to owe the IRS about $250 in April, so I’m trying to decide whether to just pay it and get it out of the way in April, or make payments so I can continue to bring down my creditcards. Not sure yet. Well see... =)
