Hello Bloggers!
I would like to wish all of you a Happy Valentines Day! I know it's meant to be a day for people in love. In my opinion, it doesn't have to be only celebrated between two people who are romantic with one another. It can also be celebrated amongst people who care about each other. My Valentines Day has been spread over three days. Yesterday was the first of the three days. I arrived home from work and my fiance was sitting in the bedroom with the lights off. When I turned them on, I saw that he had cleaned to room and made the bed. There was a giant heart shaped box of candy and an owl stuffed animal on the bed. He told me how much he loves me and how much I mean to him. Today, even though it was Valentine's Day, we spent some time apart. Only because I had to work and he stayed home to go to the doctor's office. He found out that he has bronchitis.:( We got carry out food from our favorite restaurant, Sonny's, and we watched some television together. Since he is ill at the moment, the doctor said he can't return to work until Thursday. Which means that we get to spend the day together tomorrow, because I also have the day off from work. Our plans are to get dinner at a fancy restaurant and then catch a late movie. I say plans in the sense that it's impossible to predict what will happen tomorrow. So if things go well, then we will be able to have a mini date night. If not, we will probably stay indoors and spend time together then have a date night this weekend. Either way, I'm excited to spend more time with my fiance and be able to take care of him when he's ill. Anyways, that's all I've been up to today. I know it's not the most exciting or romantic Valentines Day story but it's mine and I loved it. Oh, my fiance let me pick out my Valentines Day gift and I purchased in online yesterday. It's a plush penguin draw string back pack. It's from the same company that makes the pillow pets, where I bought a penguin pillow pet and a penguin neck pillow from. I can't wait to receive it in the 5 to 7 days. Lol. I should also be receiving the penguin music pillow I ordered from Ebay by the middle of next month. It's being mailed straight from China, where most of the futuristic and cool technology is made. So those are the purchasing I'm waiting on and I hope they arrive in good condition. I'm always paranoid about buying items from the internet but it's the only option available when I've gone shopping at all of the stores in Georgia. Well that's all I have to type right now. I'm getting a little tired so I'm going to log off. I hope you all have a great night and I'll post again later.

boredom
Hello Bloggers!
As you can tell by the title of this post, I'm bored! Which happens most days when I have to work. I have a schedule of 3-9 today at my place of employment. Even though it's only 6 hours, I'd prefer it if I could plan something else to do on a Sunday instead of working. Although, today brings good news for Joseph's parents. They are celebrating their anniversary and there will be family, fun, and cake! Sadly, I have to go to work around the time the festivities begin. It seems like I have to work every time a family event happens. :( So while my fiance and his family are having fun and catching up, I'll be slicing meat and cheese for people who want to buy groceries on a Sunday! YAY! I think grocery stores should be closed on Sundays, or at least the departments of grocery stores. I need to find a new job and pronto. I read an article on Yahoo news about the Georgia government making changes to the lottery funded Hope program. The article basically states that there are too many people enrolling in college which is causing the Hope program to fund more applicants than they can afford. So let me get this straight, the economy is down so people aren't buying as many lottery tickets. On the plus side, people want to improve their lives by attending college but they need money in order to do so. Money that the government can't provide in scholarship or employment form. It's also money that people can't receive to attend college or buy lottery tickets. Wow, I guess in a failing economy, people should avoid higher learning and job search for low paying jobs at places that aren't hiring! In all, working where I do isn't the worst thing that could be happening to me right now. What the government plans to do is raise the GPA and SAT/ACT testing scores of high school students and college students from 3.0 to 3.2-3.5 which could cause problems. As well as, only allow families who make less than 66,000 a year to receive funding which I actually agree on. In addition, they plan on limiting the amount of money towards tuition and lowering the book money from 300 to 150 a semester, again another con in this argument. They want to get rid of the "second chance" rule where students can regain funding once their grades increase and exclude the funding of remedial classes, which can be a valid point. This is a concern to myself due to the fact that I have 3 years or more left of schooling and I might only have a year or less funded by Hope. So I'll be forced to take out more money in student loans than I had planned. :( Looking on the positive side, the new changes to the Hope might not take place until late 2012 to early 2013. Hopefully, I can make good use of the Hope Scholarship while their is still hope left for the economy to rise. Well, I don't really have anything else to add at the moment so I guess I'll log off and attempt to get my fiance off of his PC game, DC Universe, before I leave for work. Until then, Have a Great Day!

how i've changed
Hello again!
As I promised, I'm here to post another blog. I know, exciting right? Well I'm about to go to bed but I thought I'd sit up and update my profile. It needed to be completely redone but I decided to stick with what I have. I did change my background which took some serious Internet searching to find one I liked. I'm not thrilled about the tiling factor but I do like the overall look of the design. I'll probably change it again though. Other than that, I updated my old pictures. The ones I had were from 2009-2010 so I needed to change those. Since I took those pictures, I had a haircut and I have managed to keep it short. I prefer it the way it is now because its easier to manage. I don't style my hair except for what I can pull back into a pony tail or pig tails. As far as style, I ditched the "sporty comfort" style, so to say. I now wear long, dressy shirts and sweater dresses over jeans. I try to buy shirts that don't have logos or childish patterns on them. Not that anything is wrong with advertising expensive brand names or wearing "emo, punk" patterns. It's just that I'm almost 23 and to be honest, some styles are meant to be left in high school. So other than that, my fashion style hasn't changed much. Besides fashion, of course I watch a lot of television and tons of movies. Since I work mostly nights, there really isn't anything to do besides watch television or sleep in on work days. I watch the same shows as listed on my profile. Except for a few new shows that have caught my attention, thank you Joseph. For instance, I recently started watching TrueBlood and I really like it. I also like watching Dexter, How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family, The Ricky Gervais Show, and a few others that my darling fiance watches. Which to be honest, again, he watches almost anything and he can quote or paraphrase most of what he watches. My movie interests are the same as they were in 2009 except now I can watch ones with actors/actresses I don't favor. As far as music, I have begun to listen to music genres I really didn't pay attention to before. For example, I listen to 94.1, 99.7, and 97.9 on my way to work when I'd use to just listen to 96.1. The stations I listen to now have techno/dance, pop/rock, and r&b artists that I've began to favor. Lady Gaga, Taio Cruz, Bruno Mars, BoB,Ke$ha, Rihanna, and Katy Perry are a few artists I listen to now. Overall, I can say that I've opened up my interests to more than just horror and rock genres. I'm definitely more open minded when is comes to the people I interact with as well. Before, I wouldn't allow myself to be in the company of people who smoked cigarettes or who drank alcohol. Since I met my fiance, I've learned to be more accepting of people who do things I wouldn't do. He has really taught me to look past the differences between someone else and myself. This has allowed me to be more tolerable and understanding about the decisions other people make. Which in turn, made me less paranoid about being around people who I thought were negative influences. I'd say, with confidence, that meeting Joseph was one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. He has made a major contribution into making me a better person. Now, I have to give credit to God and his righteous son Jesus for being my main support and motivation through life. Without religion, I'm sure I wouldn't have the strength to overcome obstacles or the determination to keep moving on a positive path. But that's a conversation for another post, if it becomes a topic at all. Well it's getting pretty early in the morning and I should try to get some rest. Sadly, I'm not very tired so it could take 30 minutes for sleepiness to take over my eyelids. Anyways, I'm going to log off the magical Internet and go to bed. Where my loving and adoring fiance is passed out from cough medicine. Unfortunately, my love has caught a cold and hasn't felt well for the past four days. On the same note, my caring and understanding mother is also under the weather, so to say. Later on today Joseph and I will have to drive about 45 minutes to see her. I also have to get my work schedule and pay check on the way there. So at least I'll have some outdoor air in my lungs on my day off. Well I must not break my promise to my brain to give it some well deserved time off. I'll be back to post another blog again soon so don't get too bummed out. Lol. I wish all you blogger people out there a good night/morning!

oh me oh my
Hello, Bloggers! I'm back and to be honest, I forgot I had an account on this site for a while. Not that I don't like blogging and interacting with all of the people that might be reading my posts. Lol. I like to keep a level head about things so I don't get an ego the size of the Grand Canyon. Anyways, I've been up to some things since I last posted. Which was longer ago than I had previously thought. So OK I last left off with me getting a job which I still have. Thank you God. I'm still in a relationship with Joseph. I know it's about time I kept one, right. Lol. So yeah recently we got ENGAGED! I use all caps because it's a big stepping stone in a person's life and I chose to add this one to my path with him. I found an amazing guy and I'm psyched that I get to call him mine. Anyways, I'm having the mid life work blues. It's not really mid life but it feels like it some times. I'm at the point of trying to find another job, like many people these days. I'm not all gloomy about working where I do but I'm not doing cartwheels either. Not that I know how to do a cartwheel but anyways. Other than that. I have decided to return to the books and get a degree in Biology. It's not a complete 180 from Forensic Science but it will take me longer to get a degree than I had planned. I'm not gloomy about that fact either. I feel blessed to have the chance at a college education let alone have the motivation to keep seeking knowledge. With my degree, I want to become a microbiologist which is one who studies tiny living things. For example, if you get a cold then you get sick. That's not all there is though. Something causes that cold as with any illness. So I'll be studying the causes of illnesses whether they be bacteria, virus, or fungi. I'm totally excited about this turn of education and I know it will open up more doors for my career. Anyways, it's getting somewhat late and I'm hungry/tired. So I'll end this post with a promise to post again, as well as, a thank you and goodnight.

return of the blog
Hey Bloggers! It's been a while since I last posted a blog on this site. I figured I should try to post something every once in a while or just forget about the site all together. Well, I suppose a good place to start a blog is with what I've been up to lately. I have been working a good bit. I don't know if I've previously mentioned that I have a job or not. Anyways, I've been working since the week before Thanksgiving of last year. I work part time in the deli department at Kroger. It's an alright job to have so I can't say to many negative things about it. Other than working, I have been hanging out with my new boyfriend named Joseph. I know what you're thinking. The last post involved a different guy and I bet you can guess that we broke up. It wasn't meant to be because our personalities clashed so we both went our separate ways. We haven't talked in a couple of months but it's not like we were friends so it's alright. After him, I did date another guy named Stephen but you can guess that it ended as well. It also wasn't meant to be because we both found out things about each other that we didn't favor. So we tried being friends but I chose to end the friendship. It wasn't something that I wanted to do but it just wasn't working out. Anyways, I'm not a boyfriend hopper and I don't need to be in a relationship to be complete or happy. However, I am with Joseph and I really do like him. I think that I have found a great guy and I want to keep him as long as I can. So other than working and dating, I have been living life as one can assume. I've grown up and changed a lot since my last post. I've learned some new things in a short period of time. I won't go into details or specifics but I can say that I don't have any regrets. I know that I'm on the right path and that I will continue to follow it until I reach my final destination also known as Heaven. I don't really have anything else to add to this blog so I guess I'll make it a short one. I'll end this blog with a thanks and a promise to blog again soon. ^_^ Have a great day all.

life goes on
Hello Bloggers, I know I haven't blogged in a while and I said the next time that I would I'd post a story. Well, I'd have to retype and format 10 pages so it will take some time. Well my life has changed a lot since the last post. I recently got a job and it's going really well. I had a fantastic Thanksgiving with my family and it made me very thankful for all of the positive people I have in my life. Anyways in less important but still relevant news, my ex broke up with me and I went through a tough time. Good thing I had my family to help talk me through it and give me some really great advice. Life goes on. I think that's very true now. I also had God and I knew I had to pull myself up and get over it. Back to life and relationships, I've met a guy named Edward and he's great. I know I wasn't single for long when I officially began a relationship with this guy. However, we had the best conversation over the phone and we stayed up really late just talking, like 9 am. We have a lot to talk about and we enjoy each other's company which is the foundation for any relationship. So we decided to become official and it's been going really great. Anyways, Christmas is around the holiday corner and I'm hoping to see some sign of snow or even snow itself. I know the spirit of Christmas began before Halloween but now it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas just like in the song. So anyways, Happy belated Thanksgiving and I'll be back to blog again. Until then, I'll leave you all with this saying "if you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side."
