Track Champ

Last night was a pretty big deal.  I’m quite thankful I was there to see it.  Had it not been for my new job, I wouldn’t have been able to be there.  I’m also glad my sister was there to share it with us.  She is home for a couple of months from Med School.  …

Personal Worth

While listening to the radio this morning, I heard the DJ mention a net worth of a celebrity.  A few years ago, it was a paltry $1.5M.  She’s worth so much more now! Seriously?!  You sit on some lame panel, trying to tell young star-wannabees how to improve, you sell a few bottles of over-priced …

The Fighter

There is a new song out, with which I’ve been relating lately.  I was going to post all of the lyrics until I read them and groaned (you know those song which you know most of the words, but not all).  I really don’t like rap artist who use plays-on-words badly.  So, I’ll post the …

Last Day… Sorta

This morning is a beautiful morning.  I awoke to the sound of birds chirping, not the alarm.  The sunlight was making itself known, despite the blinds being closed.  I was snuggled deep in my bed, deciding whether or not I wanted to get up instead of that decision being made by someone else.  The children …

I’m a Traitor

So, this new job has brought me a whole lot of new feelings (or feelings I haven’t experienced in a while).  I’m finally feeling financially hopeful.  I haven’t been in a very long time, and it feels amazing!  The stress of it has actually caused me to lose a lot of my hair.  This, of …

My New Job

For those of you who don’t know, I was recently offered a job, which I accepted.  As of next Monday, I will officially be employed in a full-time, decent paying job, about which I’m VERY excited! What it is: Truthfully, the work isn’t all that exciting.  I will be working for a flooring company in …

Mother’s Day

It’s that time again.  Time to tell you mother how much you love, respect, and appreciate her. I’m lucky enough to be able to say that’s all true for me. I hear women talk about their mothers as if it’s a chore for them to spend time with their mothers.  They can only tolerate the …

Variations

So, I had an interview, the other day.  It was so odd! It was the second interview I had for that position.  The first one was a little odd, but not as much.  It was me sitting in a conference with two other people.  For 20 minutes.  That was it.  “Okay.  That’s all the questions we …

At it Again

I’m back in the swing of writing.  It seems like I go through phases where I don’t touch my book for an extended period of time, and then I get into it again.  Yesterday, I worked on 5 chapters and I’m feeling really good about it. I have to admit, there’s a bit more fear …

It’s About That Time

Normally, each year, I post at least one blog about camping.  I think it’s time. All around me, there are signs of camping.  At work, I have to ring up items for guests who are obviously going camping.  While driving around, I smell smoke which reminds me of campfires.  My mother is planning our annual …
