I have been horrible about blogging, so far out of my past routine that it seems as if that time was in a past life. In a way, it was. Life is totally different now. My outlook, my goals, what I know, what I want and don’t want. There is a clarity to my thoughts [...]

No worries, Adriana. Your blog award is the very next post which will be typed right after I finish this one. Yours takes more creativity and I have to warm up first.
Okay, a very ridiculously long time has passed since my last post. I find it PREFER-able :) to post more frequently and know [...]

Today, Matt and I both have the day off. This in itself is fairly rare. To add to the gloriousness of it, we don’t have our day jam-packed with things to do. We are going to be people of leisure. I told him that there would be no housework, no errands to run. I managed [...]

For the final 118 minutes of today, Saturday, the 27th of December, year of our Lord 2008, I am going to not care about what anyone thinks of me. I have spent far too much time today consumed by it. I am also not going to worry about that which I cannot change, which I [...]

I’m barely able to keep my eyes open this morning, even though I was a good girl and went to bed at a decent time last night and got about 8 hours of sleep. I just have energy. I think it has a lot to do with the cyproheptadine I took last night. My old [...]

It has been over two weeks since I have last blogged. Almost three, in fact. And I really haven’t been keeping it up too well since August, even though I see it as a valuable tool. I have been choosing not to use it.
Don’t get me wrong. I get on the computer at least once [...]
In No Particular Order

Five days into the job search and I already have an interview. It’s next week for a blood-sucker phlebotomist/lab assistant position at a local hospital. Although I’ve never done this particular kind of work, it sounds really interesting and it pays pretty well. It will also get me back into healthcare, which is where I [...]
Gettin Off the Dole

I am going to start putting dates on my blogs again. Too confusing (at least to me) otherwise.
Goal number one right now is getting myself off my parents’ “dole” (Mom’s words). In order to do this, I need to find a job that pays more, obviously. At least that is [...]
What I Know Now

It is late and I must get to bed soon, but I felt a burning desire to post, not unlike the desperate need to pee when I’m about one hour into my shift and have been drinking Diet Coke all morning.
I am working pretty much full-time at the home improvement store and have been for [...]
