Enjoying Friends...

Tonight, my husband and I went to a movie and dinner with our two best friends. We met right in the middle between our two houses, and went to see Resident Evil: Afterlife and then to Olive Garden for dinner. I know what your thinking, "Who Cares!" But, the point I am trying to make is that meeting up with friends for simple things like movies, and dinners is what keeps us going. I have had a rough month or so, and just getting together with them, talking about other things like their pregnancy, or the UFC, school, and others just makes me feel at ease. It helps me remember that there are more important things in life than jobs. You need people in your life to sometimes help you sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment. Although the movie sucked, and disappointed us all, dinner was wonderful and it was great to see one another. We have all been friends for a long time, and it just makes me so happy that we are still very close to one another even though we are all doing very different things. I love having friends that know everything, understand us, and want to spend time with us more than just once a month. It's interesting to see sometimes how friendships work, last, and end. Finally, I just wanted to say how thankful I am for all my friends near and close, and how I love all of them!

P.S. - I have my first shift at The Family Dollar tomorrow! Wish me luck! I hope that I can stay awake for an 8 hour shift, and that my feet won't give out on me! haha

Tattoos.... Addictive or Not?

Tattoos although painful, are something that society accepts and even praises now a days. Long ago it was something that mostly men who were in some branch of the service did to prove their bravery and have a lasting memory of the honor they got while serving. Now not only do men get tattoos but more and more women are getting tattoos, and not just in places that you can't see all the time either. Kat VonD comes to mind when I think of women who are very liberal with tattoos and look amazing and beautiful with them as well, (even if she is a man stealer). She not only has a lot of tattoos, but she is an amazing tattoo artist and runs her own shop, you can watch her on LA Ink. I waited until I was completely sure, and had enough money before I got my first tattoo last year on spring break during student teaching. I had to wait until I had a break from school, because I got my first tattoo along the side of my right foot, and I would not have been able to wear the correct and appro

Remembering 9/11....

I just wanted to say thank you to all those people out there who serve our country, and protect us day and night. 9 years ago, I was sitting in my 7th grade study hall, when we heard people running through the halls, thats when my teacher went out to investigate and he found out what was going on. He came back into the classroom and turned on our tv. What we saw was horrifying, surreal, and very very sad. I saw the second world trade center tower fall, and I saw people jumping out of the building, and I saw debris crashing to the ground in NYC. As a 7th grader, I was in shock, to me the U.S. was impenetrable. I really never thought that something like that could happen to my country. I was shocked, appalled, and confused. I realize now how naive I was, and how my judgement and view on life was forever changed that day. I really have no idea whether it was the planes that knocked the towers down, or if it was explosives set off inside. For more information on the

My Job Search

Since I graduated college, I have been searching for a job in the area where I now live with my husband and our dog, Brama. At the moment, to be honest, I do not care where I work. I just need a job that will keep me busy and pay my bills. I have applied to about 15 stores and locations, have had 6 interviews, and one part time job offer at a local dollar store. My problem with this situation is that I am a college graduate! I graduated from a good school, with good grades, in what I thought would be a wonderful career, which is teaching. So far though, I realize that the recent economic problems are affecting me more than I thought they would. Many places are either not hiring, or only hiring part time, which does not help my situation at all. I am not trying to complain, but at the same time, I did not pay that much money to go to college, and then not get a job because the economy is in a recession and school budget cuts are at an all time high. Why is it that when the economy is
