| I moved. I like it better. Way better. It's a change of pace, a change of mind-set. Out with the old, in with the new. I thought I'd transfer all my posts from here to Wordpress, but I don't think I will do that now. I've decided to step away from "daily updates and rants and general boringness" to something a little more thoughtful and deliberate. Come visit me.

| The impossible has happened.
I am considering switching to a different blogging site...
Xanga has sold out and now looks like Myspace and Facebook after a car crash. YUCK. I can't find anything. And all I get to look at is a gross white background with an icky shade of blue. I am very sad right now. I liked xanga because you could make it look the way you want and all that jazz.
So, I'm off to look for a new blogging site. Erin, you made the switch at the perfect time.
PS. I'm doing well. The job is good. I enjoy it. Life is "settling down" some, although I am busy all the time. I got to hang out with Megan all this weekend and I was very excited about that since I won't get to see her for a long time. I hope she enjoys New Zealand. We're having another blizzard right now. Church was cancelled today. It's so cold. -40 degrees windchill. Crazy snowy weather! haha
Peace

| Ok. This is better. Not what I envisioned, but better.
Have I said my part time design job is full time now? It is. I'm excited. It's a little weird going to work all day every day of the week...especially now that school is back in session. I'm staying pretty busy running from here to kingdom come as soon as I get out of work every evening...especially since I'm not quite done at the bridal shop yet and still have a shift at the kennel. I feel like I haven't seen Heather in forever, I don't have time to call Kate or Erin, and don't have time to hang out with Maggie. Maybe once next weekend is over I'll have a better schedule. Craziness.
I'm pretty bummed I don't get to go on retreat this weekend with everyone else and miss seeing Ferris friends. At least I can go to the second retreat and I'm not missing out completely. I'm glad there were other people who could go next weekend. The whole situation is kind of a win lose situation...I can still go on retreat, but I miss the queens competition (I was going to get people to go and cheer for Mairi), my brother's birthday, and something else that I'm not remembering right now. That's what I get for not being organized! haha
My small group met for the first time this past Wednesday. It went really well and I'm even more excited about doing it. They were all totally willing to talk and participate and we had some really good discussion...we even went overtime! oops. haha It was worth it.
Time for bed. I have to work at the shop tomorrow. I'm sure we'll be busy, if not with customers then with Bridal Expo planning and prep...I've been roped into actually being *in* the fashion show now. haha Oh boy.

| Well, this look isn't exactly what I was planning on. I ran out of time. I should be sleeping right now. I have to get up and go to work in the morning. I'm still enjoying my new job. I'm really busy though, with the kennel on Monday afternoons still (I love it so much, I can't bring myself to give up my last shift) and the bridal shop on Thursday afternoons and Saturdays and with the new job which is going to be almost full time in the very near future...as soon as I'm done at the bridal shop...which will be pretty much in three weeks. I'll just be going in on Saturdays for a while. The Bridal Expo is this weekend. I have to help out. Diane wants me to wear a prom dress while we sit at the tables...then I have to help the fashion show people get ready. It should be interesting. lol
Dang it! I'm going to sleep now. I promise a real post soon...whatever "real post" means. hahaha

| I...Can't...Take the...Coughing...Anymore.Yep...still sick. Well, I feel pretty good now other than the constant coughing. Last night I got a total of four hours of sleep. That's right, four. As I layed in bed trying to go to sleep, I coughed for an hour straight. And then I woke up at 4:30 coughing again. And that was the end of that. It is getting better overall though.
I HAVE BIG NEWS!!!
I have a job. hahaha...I know, I already have three right? But I have a "new" one now. I was meeting with the "boss" for my freelance design work and he asked if I'd be interested in working part time and eventually maybe become full time. Of course! I make up web page designs all day in photoshop. It's pretty rockin. I don't have to do the coding at all. I get to be just the designer and let the coder guys actually build it. Isn't that fantastic?! I thought so. I don't get paid as much as I did for the freelance work he gave me, but I have consistent hours, a paycheck every week, no need to figure out how to do taxes, and other people to interact with and learn from. I'm the only girl in the office. It's like I never left Tech's campus. haha Everyone is pretty cool. Half of them are Christians and two of the guys I already knew. It's a really laid back environment...and guess what!? I get to wear jeans! HAHA! unless I'm meeting with a client...then I have to be presentable. I'm really enjoying it. It's nice to be excited again to go to bed at night so I can wake up and go to work. The last few weeks had been tough...I'd stay up late doing nothing, then I'd sleep in as long as I possibly could, and then lay in bed not wanting to get up for another five minutes. It was getting pretty depressing...thankfully, Sundays and Mondays were not like that. I would have been really sad then. 
Time for me to attempt to sleep. My coughing fits have rared their ugly heads again, so we'll see...I wonder if it's possible to break your sternum coughing...
