It's been Awhile

Hello there! I realized that I hadn't written in awhile, because I was taking a long time reading the last book and I got really busy with Christmas and the New Year! Now I thought I would write and post about what has happened in my life lately.

Well Christmas came and went in a blur, I got some really great presents like a new printer, tv, sewing machine, pajamas, and gift cards. It was great to have two days off for Christmas Eve and Christmas, and I really loved being able to see all of my family!

Then the new year came and we spent our time with my parents playing the new playstation move sports game that my husband got for Christmas. It was a great time, and I really cherish spending so much time with my parents lately, since I don't see them as often as I would like to. The best part of this new year was that I got the promotion at work that I had been applying and then interviewing for! I am excited to be starting a new job at work, and also getting a raise. It feels great to have accomplished something after all this time. I just cannot believe that it is already January and also 2011!! I'm hoping this year was as great as last year, and I am trying to steer clear of resolutions since they are doomed from the beginning.

So I ask you, "How was your Christmas or Hanukkah or Holiday?" "How did your New Year start?" "What are you looking forward to, or not looking forward to?"

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.

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

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
