Here's hopin

Well, things are slowly starting to get resolved. The roommate problems looks like they are about to go away because the roommate that was the problem is apparently moving out. Now, although it means it's going to cost the rest of us a bit more each month, I think we're all willing to make that sacrifice. The job situation may get much better soon. It's already looking better at Target cause they've started training me in electronics which is much easier to deal with than the operator job I had been doing. I enjoy it much more. But even better, I finally got a call for the job on base yesterday. Woohoo!!! He's supposed to call me back today to set up an interview for next week. I may not necessarily go straight to full time, but if I take a part time position then when I full time position opens up, I will have a much better chance at getting it. Either way, I've decided to keep my job at Target for a while. If I get the full time job on base, then I'll go to part time and only work 2 or 3 days a week at Target. If I get the part time job on base, then I'll stay full time at Target. I thought it would be a good way to earn a little extra money PLUS I'll still have my discount which will come in handy with the Holidays coming up soon.

So yeah, things are slowly starting to turn around which I am very thankful for. At least it's making life a bit more bearable for the time being. I finished reading that book I previously talked about the same night I bought it. It was helpful in understanding that a lot of what's going on in my life is pretty typical for most twentysomethings. Having a hard time finding a job, friends dispersing and moving away, etc. etc. It also inspired me to write my mission statement. Yeah, just like Jerry Maguire. The book talked about how the reason why most people fail is because they don't have a goal to work towards, so I set some goals for myself that I can start working towards. So at least I have a bit of direction now.

So there ya go. If y'all could keep that stuff in your prayers, I would really appreciate it. Be praying for Mac and Cheese and hubby as Little G will be coming into the world very soon and HBM, Elvis, Pita Pocket, and Booty with their big transition. Good luck to you guys!

God bless!

Ready to run

I'm not going to lie to y'all. I'm dying to get out of here. I don't want to be here anymore. When I say "here" I'm primarily talking about my apartment, but also just the Dayton area in general. I keep telling everyone that I'm running out of reasons to say here. It's true. I'm out of school, so that isn't keeping me here. My job sucks, so that's not keeping me here. The two main things left that have a hold on me are friends and church. Well, more of my friends seem to be leaving every few months or having kids or getting married or whatever. And church...well, there's nothing about it that I want to leave, but maybe this transition time would be a good time to go. I don't know. I'm just not happy here anymore, and I haven't been for quite a while. There's just been a few things over the last couple weeks that keep pushing me closer and closer to the edge. Unfortunatly, I can't just leave. My lease runs until June. So I guess I just have to suck it up and find places to be around here where I'm not so miserable.

So I'm really trying to approach this situation with prayer and a lot of caution. I don't want to do anything drastic that will put me into a hole. A hole being some difficult position that I have to fight to get out of. I wish I could just go right now and take the people that I want to take with me, but it just can't happen. I just feel like I'm stuck. All around. Stuck here in Dayton. Stuck a job I don't like. Stuck in financial distress. Just stuck. I can't move.

I went to Family Christian today for the first time in forever. I bought a book called "Everything Twenties" that gives advice on how to go about doing a lot of stuff that happens in your twenties: graduating college, looking for a job, moving, etc. etc. So we'll see. I haven't read a book like that in a while, but it just seemed to be yelling my name when I saw it. So I splurged and got it.

Yeah, I'm kinda scatterbrained and distracted. Sorry. Well, I'm going to be going. I'm gonna finish watching 7th Heaven and go to bed relatively early. I'm getting up to have breakfast with a couple of friends then I'm going to help HBM and Elvis load up their moving truck, and say goodbye. :( I'm gonna miss them.

That's it for now. Toodles y'all.

Everything changes

Yeah, so once again, it's been while because although everything is different from my previous post, there just hasn't been much happening. As most of you know, my parents got back together. Everything's fine between them. I have a job. I'm working at Target. Not exactly what I pictured for myself post-graduation. I like it so far. I've mainly been a cashier. It stinks standing for hours on end, but I like interracting with people. I actually saw Roomiestar today. She came through my express lane. It was good to see her. So yeah...I'm actually getting 32 hours this week. Woot. So at least I have a job. SebbieDue is trying to get me a job on base. That would rock my socks. It's much better pay than Target. So please pray for that. It would be great if I could get though. I'm actually thinking about continuing to work part-time at Target even if I get that job. It would be helpful for paying of debts and saving up for other things. We'll see how it goes. Other than that, not much has been going on. I've been walking everyday except the last two because Bianca told me I needed to let my muscles rest. I'm up to at least 3 miles a day, usually 4, occasionally as much as 5. It just depends on how I'm feeling. I've lost about 25 pounds, and gone down 2+ sizes. WOOHOO!! :D I just hope I can stick with it. It's usually about this time that I start getting bored with it and quit.

In other news as you all know, HBM, Elvis, Pita Pocket, and Booty are moving on. :( I'm really happy for them and I think this is an incredible opportunity for them, but I'm going to miss them like crazy. It kinda feels like I'm losing part of my family. Hopefully I can go visit sometime. Especially if they find me a fitting suitor down there in Bowling Green. ;) I wish them the best of luck.

Anyway, I'm gonna watch Ellen. I hope all is well with everyone. I'm praying for ya!

God bless!

And the bottom drops out

This will be short and sweet.

My trip to NC was terrible. Our time at the beach was mostly spent in the hotel due to Tropical Storm Ernesto landing exactly where we were staying. The trip ended with two fantastic events. 1) My first flight got delayed, I missed my connecting flight and got stuck in DC for 4 hours 2) my mom left my dad. Long story, I'm not going into it on here. I'm dropping my classes at Sinclair and looking for a full time job in ANYTHING I can find. Things with a roommate are really not going well at all...they're going down right terrible. On the plus side, everything's fine with the other two.

So to sum it all up. Life stinks right now.
