Job Search

Tonight is kind of an exciting night!

Craig and I are searching for jobs for him and even looking at relocating out of state!! YAY!

Here's hoping it's somewhere warm (I'll take anything warmer right about now)!

Some 2nd book quotes:

So far this is what I have for silly/fun quotes:

--“But it’s okay to do it with other girls?” I asked, afraid of the answer, but way too curious to keep my mouth shut. I wish I’d learn from mistakes, but I don’t think that part of my brain works right.
--He stood there, not speaking, just silently threatening my life if I get myself killed for doing this.

He he... Okay, so that's all for right now... I've written a good 10,049 words on the second book and I've barely broken into the plot yet :-)! I'm still just building up to the events! So, when I find more of the story then I'll have some more silly/fun quotes from it.

Busy Busy Busy!!

Hey Everyone

I have been very very busy, so I haven't been able to post in a while!!

As you may know, I wasn't able to compete in the Miss Auburn program this year because of my current living condition and it's been a bitter sweet kind of ride. I know I would have done fAbUlOUs! And it may have even been my year. But I can't ever compete again. :( At least that's what I thought anyway.

But, I haven't severed my ties to the program. Hardly. I've been helping with the interviews and critiquing the girls and I have enjoyed it. I just can't keep from wishing I could be in their place.

Oh well.

That's as far as I can get on that bitter-sweetness :( Later gator.

2008... Thank Buddha it's gone :)-

2008 was probably the worst year I can remember. I don't even want to talk about any of it because of how bad it was.

What I will say, is that the only good things that came out of it was the family that I didn't know I had surfaced, I completed my first novel... although it wasn't perfect, nor was int published, Jason is alive and home, and I survived the year.

My plans for 2009 consist of:

  1. finding a new place of employment... although, that was 2008's goal too :/.
  2. finding an agent who will represent my book.
  3. finishing and polishing my book?... that should probably be #2, oh well.. they're not in any order.
  4. writing the 2nd book to Ghost Whispers.
  5. finishing the very first book I started.
  6. find the beginning and work on the 2nd book I started
  7. finish the damn degree I've been working on for 2 years.
  8. paying off all my debt... okay, not ALL of it, I still have a couple of years left on my car :/.
  9. break my addiction to shopping.
  10. live at least long enough to reflect on the year in 2010 :)

Alright, that's all, I'll add stuff to my list if I can think of any more. I don't like setting goals like losing weight (although I could use to shed a couple of pounds) or buffing up. I don't mind if you do, I just don't, I know I wont do it. I like setting attainable for me goals :)

Woops!

Hey everyone... if there is anyone that still reads this!

Sorry it's been so long since my last update. Life's been pretty busy and stressful. But guess what!!! I'm still sick :(.. I bet you would have never figured that out!

When am I not these days?

I think it's because I'm working full time listening to mean people complain about the company I work for --I can't do anything about it, sorry guys.

I'm freaking out because 3 people (besides me) have read my book now. And I am nervous about their reactions. And about how much work I have to do.

I'm also stressed because of how much I still have to do to fill in the blanks and make it run smoother from my own editing.

Then I'm also stressed about trying to get it out to agents and what not, because believe you me, I'd rather write than answer stupid calls.

And that's another thing, I'm trying to find something a little less.... stressful to handle EVERY DAY. But it seems like I have a poopy previous employer that is giving me a bad reference.... Thanks a lot!

And, I'm female and my biological clock is ticking. That's a stress all in itself. And it unfortunately doesn't just affect me :/
