Already December?!

2007-12-02T19:34:00.001-08:00

Wow. Time flies these days. I just want to slam on the breaks, and say 'whoa, wait a minute!' Everytime I see my neices and nephews, they are another foot taller. And, this next year I will be 25! I just can not believe it. There is a part of me that does just want this part of my life to hurry and be over though. I wish I could wake up tomorrow in my thirties, married, out of college, and settled into who I want to be. But, that would take the fun out of things, wouldn't it? NO! I don't like making decisions! It's so hard, and I am afraid to commit to anything. I put off finishing college, because I was afraid of deciding what to do 40 hours a week for the rest of my life. But, I know now that a college degree will give me plenty of opportunities to explore options. And deciding who to marry!? I don't understand how people do that?! I mean, I have heard that you 'just know,' but i am really starting to doubt that I will ever be able to stand before someone and say that I will share the rest of my life with, no matter what. I guess I haven't met the right guy, that will show me that that is NOT so scary. And, I think part of it is that I know I couldn't possibly be 'the right person' for anyone! I am so scattered, stubborn, and hard to put up with. .......................................Ick. I just need to sleep off this stress.

Black Friday Madness!

2007-11-24T16:34:00.000-08:00

Did anyone else participate in the Black Friday Madness? Somewhere around 4:45am, as I huddled outside waiting on Old Navy to open, I thought to myself "What am I doing?" I usually don't get up and go shopping the morning after Thanksgiving, but I thought I would give it a shot. I vow, however, not to take it to such extremes next year. I saw some people 'scouting' the stores and what they would want to come get on Friday a few days before the sales, and I know understand why. I found myself wading among the crowd at Bath and Body Works for 45 minutes just trying to decide what new fragrance to buy for my mom. It was much to hard to think at such an early hour of that day, on such little sleep!

I know my last post made reference to some pictures I would be uploading. Unfortunately, in my computer wizardry, I actually erased the photos before they were downloaded! Oh, the shame!

Vacation!

2007-11-18T19:22:00.000-08:00

I just got back from the conference in Florida. The highlights of the trip were probaly going to Medieval Times, and getting to go to Dinner in the Sky. I plan on having pictures and maybe even video posted on my next blog. I also got to go on some new roller coasters and see some new video games. It was pretty awesome. It's times like this that I love my job. I have been pleased with the Advanced Composition class so far, but I really was expecting a class that would help me write better essays and papers, because I don't feel like I am prepared for that yet.

Orlando!

2007-11-10T17:35:00.001-08:00

So, I am off tomorrow to sunny Orlando, Florida. There is a convention there called IAAPA. As far as conventions go, it's a blast. I expect to get a lot of swag! If you wanna check out how lucky I am, you may go to www.iaapa.org. While we are there, we are staying in a vacation home that our boss rented. I am excited. Unfortuately, I have to take my homework. Booo... But, we are going to MEDIEVAL TIMES! I can't wait.

I can Breathe!

2007-11-03T11:22:00.000-07:00

So, Halloween is over, which means I am not working 60 hours a week anymore! That is good news, because I finally get to breathe! I am really looking forward to the group project, but am very intimidated by the idea of creating a web page! I have only done that once, and I wasn't very happy with the outcome. So, I am hoping that I have some talented groupmates.

Theft!

2007-10-24T20:04:00.000-07:00

My place of employment was robbed a few nights ago! I came in to find my desk trashed, and my computer missing! I work for an Inflatable Rental company, and the next week is our busiest of the year! It was soooo scary to realize that i pretty much had to start over on scheduling everything we needed to do for the next week! So, I playing catch-up has been very tough.

Sunday Sunday Sunday

2007-10-21T15:23:00.000-07:00

Ahhh. I love Sundays. I usually go to church, but I had some other stuff to do today. I slept in, and then saw a friend off who had been in from out of state. Then, our family celebrated my nephew's seventh birthday. I think that dad liked the Optimus Prime Voice Changing Helmet that I got him more than my nephew did! So, I am just getting ready for another exciting week. I heard it is supposed to be cold this week, so I am busting out the sweaters!
