right now i'm sitting one the sofa, watching the last samurai, eating a bowl of cottage cheese, waiting for the time when i can go wake up jenny.  i've got about 2 1/2 hours to go.  i had wanted to go to the tanning place today... and maybe the gym, but i didn't get around to it.  instead, i undecorated our xmas tree.  i know it's kind of late to ( Read more... )

ok , so i have some really good news and i need to get it out!  i've told people at work already, but it's something different to have a permanent record of it.  jenny got a call from FSN today.  they offered her the position!  she got the job!  this is so great!  things are working out so well for us.  and all i can do is continue to be thankful ( Read more... )

 i applied for a job yesterday!  at one of my fairs the other night, i was talking to another recruiter.  she was telling me how she's leaving her current position to go to another school.  she's a regional rep for a school out of town.  work from home.  get a car.  get a gas card.  internet is paid for.  wtf?!  this is the best deal!  i'm pretty ( Read more... )

so i'm not sure what's going on in my mind right now.  today has been the weirdest day in a long time.  like normal, i snoozed my alarm for way too long this morning.  i just didn't want to get up, b/c that meant that i had to go to work.  and lately, i haven't been wanting to come to work.  i love my students, and i love what i do, but i'm so sick ( Read more... )

i had such a great weekend!  minus the few bumps in the road, which were not our fault!!!  friday, we took a drive down to kemah b/c the new rollercoaster opened that day.  we get through traffic, find parking, buy our tickets, stand in line, buckle ourselves into the front row seats of the first car on the coaster.... only to be told "you need to ( Read more... )

i spoke to my mother on the phone last night.  some days she's good, other days... not so much.  last night, was not a good night.  it started off with a conversation about my stepbrother going off to college in a couple weeks.  she was telling me about how they took him to campus yesterday to pay his tuition, buy his books, and purchase a new ( Read more... )

so, lately at work i've been feeling very unappreciated and not encouraged whatsoever.  leadership in my office has faltered drastically since my former boss left for another university.  i still love my job.  i love what i do.  i love the students with whom i work.  however, i used to love getting up in the mornings just to go to work.  over the ( Read more... )
