A little ditty on Exceptions... and a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

I've changed this blog around so many times, and I have changed it for all the wrong reasons. Now, this is just for myself. My personal life will be up on these pages from now until forever. I don't know if I will be posting as often as I did before, or if I will ever post again but now one thing is for sure. I am doing everything for the betterment of myself and what will make me happy. This is my journey into the Happiness Complex.

Now with that said, on the post!

I'm lost

I'm lost.

I feel lost.

I feel like there's a lot of myself that I don't really know. I've forced myself to do so many things that I don't want to do because my life has been so fucked up for the past few years.

I didn't want to get married. I forced myself to marry someone that I loved out of an ultimatum. Did I love Josh? Yes. But did I want to be married? No. I rejected him the first time that he asked me and the next day, he broke up with me. It was heart breaking. I never felt that before. That because I said no that I would basically lose everything that I had loved. So I figured that I had to appeal to the feelings and emotions of him in order to keep him in my life. By doing things that I really did not want to do.

My goal to personal finance...

I have been reading this website for a while now. Earlier this year, I subscribed to this blog and everyday I get an update on new articles that are posted. I absolutely love reading these posts and it really helps me. I try to apply everything I read to my personal lifestyle in hopes that someday I will resolve all of my financial problems, and trust me, I have a lot of those. Christian at ChristianPF.Com makes it so easy to read and understand his topics. He adds a little motivational aspects into his posts so it kind of makes it almost inspiration when reading. I always feel inspired when I read his posts. My favorite post of his is going to have to be his Personal Financial Checklist. This article, I read often times. The reason for that is because it has short term and long term points on the checklist that really apply to everything finance. I hope to check off every point on this list. YOu should read it too, you might learn something and get some money back!!!! =]]]

Patience, little sister

I don't know if you have seen that movie but the title to this blog is from the movie version of the Broadway musical, Dream Girls! I absolutely love that movie! Jennifer, Beyonce and the girl from the Princess and the Frog were really great in this movie. BUT that is not what this blog post is about...

What this blog post is about is just updates to my normal life!

Today I had a working interview with an Optometrist's office. It went really well. I was there for longer than I anticipated. I felt like a learned quite a lot there. I did a little bit of entering some information and I did ask a couple of questions so I felt like I did try to learn the system of how everything worked. It was quite different than the places I have worked before. The machines are more advanced, the scheduling/exam system is a lot more complicated than the one I am used too so I believe that it's gonna take some work, IF I do get hired. Which I really hope that I will.

My husband got promoted to Full-Time today! That's so exciting! He's been waiting for it for a long time and I am just so glad that they decided to give it to him! He works so hard and he really deserves it. That means more hours and bonuses at the end of the month! So more money for us! Especially if I get this job, it's just gonna be perfect for us.

Then we can definitely save up quite a bit of money. We still have to pay for Josh's place ticket to Arizona for Thanksgiving. With this money, we can definitely save up and more!

My mom is also giving us one of her cars during Thanksgiving as well, which I'm totally excited for. It's a Toyota Avalon. I don't know what year it is but it's has quite a bit of miles on it, which is okay. I hear it runs like a champ and my step dad is gonna put a tune-up on it before he gives it to us! Plus, it's only gonna be about $200/mo. for I think a year, which is definitely not bad at all!

Things are looking up for us and I believe that we definitely have been through some tough times. With two tires blowing out on us and replacing all 4 tires, I think that we deserve a break. I'm kind of thankful that it happened and we got through it because it really shows that we can take care of ourselves if we just have a positive mindset and look forward to the possibilities, and remind ourselves that there are so much more worse things going on in the world. Don't take anything for granted.

I hope that things will keep on this steady path to success. It might be slow but as we keep progressing, we find out more about ourselves and the strengths that we can achieve if we strive for it.

Until next time!

Still looking... writing a book....

So I'm still looking for another job. I do still have my teaching job but it's just not cutting it. I love it and I don't wanna let go of it but it is taking up some of my time. I just wish that I could get more students to teach so that it can't help me pay for the Yoga Teacher Training course I wanna take next month!

But I've also been looking at other opportunities with it as well. Trying to find another part-time job for the fall so that I can help pay for it too.

It's $350/mo or $2,000. I'm going more for the $350/mo. because my financial situation doesn't allow me to just pull 2,000 outta my ass.

One of my friends just opened up a clinic in Killeen, which is a couple hours away by train. It's gonna be $21 to go there. She wants me to go and help her train her new employee's, which I am totally down to do and she is gonna give me some money to help her out. It would be awesome to do that for a couple of days and get to get some money? Heck yeah I'll do it. I most definitely need to save it for my classes. Well some of it. I still have lots to pay on as well. =/.

I asked my mom and dad to pay for it as well and my step-dad said that he would. But I kinda regret asking just because I don't want to feel like a burden. But then again, if they are helping me do it then that is awesome that they want to help me. Then I can get my certification to be a teacher and I can teach it to other people and hopefully open up my own studio! But that's just a dream of mine...

So what I'm thinking is maybe my parents can pay for 2 months, which would be August (for my birthday) and December (for X-Mas) which would totally be okay with me, just that they are helping me out. Maybe I can get my dad in Guam to help out too and pay for one of the months. Which would equal out to 3 months. And then just suck it up and save and pay for the remaining months myself. And possibly ask everyone for a donation or birthday present of some money to help pay for my classes too. What do y'all think?

Well, on another note, Josh is writing another one of his short stories or books or whatever. I'm so excited for him to do that! But the only thing I don't like about it is that he never finishes! I really hope he does this time. He is such a great writer. The best in my opinion, but that might be just because I'm biased. LOL. Jk. No really he is amazing and I hope he finishes this one!

Gah! Gotta get back to figuring out how to get more money! Wish me luck!

I got fired...

From my latest job. The really good one that paid pretty well. Yeah, that one.

I really don't know why. It was quite a shock to be honest. I thought I was doing so well.

Apparently, the doctor I was working for did not like the way I handled patients problems. Which is bull because I thought I handled them greatly and to the best of my ability. I felt like I was being shot down. She just came up to me and said we are gonna have to let you go because the way you are handling patients is becoming a problem. Which I don't understand because I am great with patients. I can talk to them personally and professionally and I was leading in sales last month which requires a lot od personification with the customers so why am I in this situation?

What did I do to have this happen to me?

By the way, I haven't been to work in over 4 days, and then on top of that we have a fill in Doctor that usually comes in so I didn't work for the MAIN doctor for a whole week. So how in that weeks amount of time did I mess things up so that I would get fired right when I walked into the door?

Hmm... I just don't understand.

Indirectly yes, I was warned during our EMPLOYEE EVALUATIONS. I had two in the three months I worked there and talked with the doctor about it and had improved on the second from the first evaluation. But I was never written up or told I was going to be let go anytime soon. She told me she was going to give me an an extra month to keep improving minor details in my work ethic. But then fired me the next week after not working for four days. And hadn't worked under her supervision for a week.

And I absolutely did my hardest, I observed the way I talked to patients and handled them. I took the time to assess the situation and break it down and find the problem and address it as best as I could.

I need to look up at life's challenges. I'm sure I will overcome this as long as I am faithful and with a positive attitude.

Apartment shopping!

Yay for apartment shopping! I like looking for places to live. I hope to find kind of a better place to live that the apartments we are living in now.

In the apartments we live in now there's just too much going on. I don't really like to leave my apartment and go walking around and it's just not feeling very comfortable where we are living right now, and comfort and quietness means a lot to us. We aren't the most quiet people but still. We like our privacy. It seems like the walls are extremely flimsy. We can hear everyone's water systems and all kinds of stupid stuff.

Not to mention we call the cops on our neighbors almost every weekend. It's just too crazy when you have these drunken people yelling at each other in Spanish and getting drunk and fighting. UGH. Hopefully we will find a more comfortable place to live in. Even if it's more expensive, at least we will be living the way we want too.

Friday Advice Column: L-O-L-O-L-O-L-O-V-E!

Taken from Wikipedia:

Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment.[1] In philosophical context, love is a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection. In some religious contexts, love is not just a virtue, but the basis for all being, as in the Christian phrase, "God is love" or Agape in the Canonical gospels.[2] Love may also be described as actions towards others (or oneself) based on compassion.[3] Or as actions towards others based on affection.[4]

Love to me is so many things. It's the way he looks at me in the morning. The way we laugh at each others jokes. The silence that arrives whenever we have nothing to say. The comfortableness of his presence whenever he is around. The look on his face when he tells me, "I love you." The way he fights with me. The irritation in his voice when I annoy him. It's so many things.

I feel like love is more than just a "strong affection and personal attachment". You can have strong affection for just about anyone. But love? Love is more than that to me. You can't really explain it.

Wen you are in love there are 3 some simple signs that show you how much you love your other half:

1. Affection: Love without affection is like a car without gas. Without affection, the fuel of your love life won't go anywhere. You need to have that initial affection that you felt when you first fell in love to last forever! It's really hard to keep that up but as long as you both know that you are working on being together than you are already on your way to a great relationship with yourself and your partner. A lot of the time people start fighting and it gets really bad. But it's a good thing. You know what gets on each others nerves and you feel that doing that will get you more attention from them. I know I do that sometimes. Or if you are just messing around and joking with each other and suddenly there's a misunderstanding and you fight. Or things get really ugly and you yell and scream and fight because you want to prove your point or you don't wanna back down. And sometimes you just feel so weak to that person because you are so vulnerable to the person you are in love with. It's a difficult situation, but you have to know that as long as both partners have that affection for each other. That WANT to be with your other half. That determination to work things out, then your relationship will blossom and you can get through any troubling situation you find yourself in.

2. Action and Initiation: This is a great key to keep your love life fresh and consistent. Taking action when something happens to your partner or your partner wants from you. It's such a great feel to provide and show that you are listening and it makes your partner feel great as well. Whenever you perform an action that is not pre-meditated is called Initiation and that goes a long way. Doing something for your partner when they least expect it is a great gesture to show them that you love them and are thinking about them even when your not together or talking. Not saying that sometimes people just don't like surprises, but you need to understand when your actions are wanted and needed. The things you do, reflect on how your relationship is progressing. If you don't do much with each other, it feels like your relationship is dwindling but you just need to find that something that will bring it back up again. Especially if you want to be in a relationship in the first places. Once you stop caring, there's no room for your relationship to grow. Even if efforts fail, you owe it to each other to keep working at it.

3. The Act of Pleasure: Sex and making love! Yes! Sex is one of the best ways to keep a relationship alive. You shouldn't base your relationship ON sex but it is a great outlet for your emotions and hormones. Making Love is a very intimate act that you get when you yearn for that person you love and you want to feel like a part of them and you want to feel them yearn for you as well. Sex is a great way to get down and dirty and sexy. Sex is such a great feeling that you can use to show the person that you are sexually attracted to them. Some people don't wanna just make love, they want to get their happiness, aggression out, their sexual frustration out, their lustfulness out, their stress out, and their creativity. A great way to keep your sex life "at attention" is to be creative. Missionary just doesn't cut it after the few 100 times, so try doggy style or on the sofa, or in the kitchen... Josh knows I love it everywhere around the house so get creative. You can use toys or whatever suits you are your partners needs and fantasies!

I hope that you guys will take into consideration my top 3 signs of Love! If you have any questions at all about anything, just email me or comment below! Have a wonderful friday! =]

NEW SONG: Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"

Hey guys! Have you heard the new lead single off of Lady Gaga's upcoming album? It's called "Born This Way" and it came out yesterday! It's a great song. It's very madonna-esque. People say that it reminds them of Express Yourself... in which, yes it does but it I feel it's a tribute to Madonna. Because Madonna was the first to really break rules, and tell people it's okay to be who you are and Lady Gaga is just taking that and putting her own spin on it.

Everything Lady Gaga touches is gold. She is like a Modern Monster Queen Midas. This song has hit #1 on iTunes in 20 countries! And it just came out today! Wow! What an accomplishment for Lady Gaga, and she totally deserves it with this song.

It has a FANTASTIC beat to it that just makes you wanna dance to it. The message is so sincere and inspiring! It's another anthem for people who are different to just be happy with who you are. Just like Katy Perry's "Firework" and Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" in that sense. But Lady Gaga really does it in with this song because she calls out the races, and orientation and just everyone in general so most people can say it applies to them, if not all.

I love her little homage to Vogue in the bridge of the song. It's really cool. Then there's the little a capella section at the end in which she harmonizes with and it just ends the song on a happy note.

I am in love with this song so much and I AM gonna be putting up a cover on YouTube so watch out for that this weekend! It's gonna be amazing!

So this is what i'm thinking....

I'm thinking that after the 30 Day Blog Challenge, I want to do a daily blog thing. Maybe at first it'll start off as a every other day type of thing. I wanna do something like:


Mondays - Recap of the weekend. Nuff said. Just a recap of how my weekend went and everything it entails.
Wednesday - Musical Wednesdays. Where I'm going to have like musical tips and advice. Something that will help people have more musical knowledge.
Friday - Here's the tricky part, I wanna do a Health & Fitness and/or Dating and Relationships blog this day. I don't know which one I should do. I still have a couple of days to think about it.


But that's about it! What do you think? And in between will just be random things about me or reviews or just anything I think is interesting. But I want to keep a schedule that will be fun to do and focus on for those days. And I'm thinking that I want Tuesdays and Thursday to be my active days where I'm not on the computer as much.

Day 24 - A Photo of something that means a lot to me

Hey guys! This is a photo of something that means a lot to me: My Wedding Ring! Okay, funny story. My husband and I pretty much eloped when we got married. We didn't tell anyone at all and drove from Dallas, TX to Las Vegas, Nevada. It was like a 20 hour drive. We were almost there when we realized that we didn't have any rings! We were already in debt... about 500 bucks in debt and so we went to WalMart and got some regular rings and promised each other that in a couple of years, we are gonna get married again and get real rings.

So thats what means a lot to me. My wedding ring. Symbolizing our long and hard journey of commitment and love for each other.

New Layout! Inspiration is hard to find.

As a lot of you guys know, inspiration is one of the hardest things to come by. Most people spend days, weeks, months, years looking for inspiration and it's so hard to come by it most of the time. Some people can come up with anything and work off of that and inspiration will come naturally. Unfortunately for me, I try to find inspiration, but it just never comes! I have to be super vulnerable or sad or just over emotional for something to come to me. It sucks really. Maybe sometimes, it'll come out of nowhere and I'll write a song in less than 10 minutes. Isn't that crazy? I think so.

Well, I put up a new layout for my blog. It is a small little banner that someone made for me. If you have been to my YouTube Channel you would recognize it. I like it and decided to put it as the background.

I'm not very good with designing websites. When I was younger, I was all into that and I would design many things but then I just lost touch with it when I moved around a lot. I wish I knew how to do it. I mean, I know what I want from my blog and my website but I feel like I just cannot muster up the creativity to fix it up. I just do not have that ability to do that.

I'm trying to think of a niche for my blog. I know that I don't want to really just limit myself to one thing and go about my life just working off of it. I feel that's too constricting of my talents. But I do need something that I can focus on and write about that people will come back too. It seems as if i'm just writing randomly and life is just changing too much for me to put everything I want to down into a blog. So I just need to focus on smaller things. What should I write about more often?

- Weight Loss, Dieting, Health and Exercising
- Dating, Relationships and being married
- Music, Singing and tips on singing
- Arts, and Crafts, mostly crocheting
- Recipes
- Technology, phones, software, computers
- Reviews on books
- Fashion

The Vast Fields of Ordinary

By Nick Burns and ultimately turned into one of my favorite books. It was so touching yet eerie at the same time. I loved it. Exciting yet thrilling as well. I couldn't put it down. Kind of depressing and heart breaking the ending was and the book just left me thinking. Nick is soo vivid in his writing that it sent chills down my spine. Literally.

The book is about a boy named Dade Hamilton who leads a pretty normal suburban teen angst life. He has a sorta kinda boyfriend who hardly acknowledges his existence but is kinda obsessed with him but also has a girlfriend. Super complicated. Its a really good coming-of-age/coming out story with scary twists and turns that is new but relevant in teenagers lives these days. He meets all kinds of people that are all the wrong crowds especially a boy named Alex. Which is such a touching part of the story and I couldn't help but love Alex. There is also news reports of a missing girl Jenny which was so terrifying, I felt like I saw her for myself.

The Vast Fields of Ordinary is an inspiring novel about romance, life, mystery and death. I finished the book wanting more and there's definitely something in the book that I want to keep with me. I'm thinking about buying the book myself since I checked it out form the library. I always want to buy stuff that I really like.

It even inspired me to write a book myself. A coming of age tale maybe. I'm not much of a writer but I'm always looking for more gateways to express my creativity.

I give the book 5 out of 5 stars. I highly recommend it.

Day 4 – Your favorite photograph of your best friend.

This is my best friend. He is the most amazing person to ever set foot on this planet. He is also my husband. We have been through so much together and it's so crazy about how things have happened between us. If we weren't best friends we definitely would not be in this relationship with each other. I am so grateful for him because my life couldn't be any better. Sometimes I want to punch him in the face, but I like my face and I know he is not afraid of punching anyone back so he will definitely do that to me! He is so amazing. I love him very mucho grande. I love this picture of us. The colors make us look so cute. We are flawless. AND it looks like we are happy in this picture. =]

Blog: How to Prepare for an Audition

Man, I am super nervous for the Glee Audition this weekend. They are gonna be here on Jan. 8th and 9th at the Norris Conference Center in Fort Worth, Texas. It's actually gonna be for the show "The Glee Project" which is set to start airing in June on the Oxygen Network which brought everyone shows like the Bad Girls Club, which Josh and I LOVE! The show is gonna focus on teens and people in their early twenties who are gonna be competing for a new role on Glee. But anyways, seriously, I am really nervous to audition and I have come up with some way that will help you prepare for an audition that I really need to focus on as well. I felt like if I blogged about it and read it, it'll stick with me more than just thinking about it. Then after the auditions, I will blog and let you guys know what the outcome is and if it works or not.

GET OFF YOUR ASS AND STOP PROCRASTINATING. I really have a problem with that. Maybe it's just because I am depressed that my dream job isn't bringing in too much money, or maybe because my shitty ass old job fired me for no good reason but was bringing in pretty decent money. Either way, you just need to get up and start thinking of ways to your mind on the goal, which is getting the part. Or whatever you are going for. Which for me is to get a spot for the competition.

KNOW YOUR COMPETITORS. It's always great to know who you are gonna be going up against. Your gonna meet all kinds of people and also share stories about how you got there and all kinds of stuff. Even maybe give out certain friendly tips to help each other because we are all just happy to be there. But remember, it's a competition, keep your eye on the prize and don't lose focus. These are some really nice people, but remember, they are trying to get a spot on the show as well.

PREPARE SOME READY-MADE ANSWERS FOR INTERVIEW QUESTIONS. Of course, there is gonna be an interview section. The network wants to know that you have a big personality that goes along with the talent that you have. It's not fun to have a person with talent but with a boring personality, not many people what to see that. Also, you don't want someone with a huge ego as well. Or maybe they do. That's why they have Rachel right? She's kinda the underdog who is socially retarded but has amazing talent sooo... it can go both ways, i'm sure of it. What i'm trying to say is it's basically like a job interview. The price for fame is you have to work for it. The price for that job is you have to show that you can do it. The price to be on television and be on one of FOX's number 1 show in America is you have to convince the panel/judge people that you have what it takes to be on Glee. The interview questions i'm sure are a huge part of getting on the show.

PREPARE YOUR SONG. This one is giving me the most trouble out of all of them. I have two songs that I want to do, it's Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" or Heart's "Alone". The difference is that Britney Spears' song is more fun and quirky and more comfortable in my range and I can show the fun and comedic side to myself. On the other hand, we have Heart's dramatic "Alone" which requires some really good vocal skills. I mean, I can switch up the key and sing it in my range and be all dramatic with it, but this isn't American Idol... or is it? I mean it's a competition sort of like American Idol but it's for a television... so like I said before, It can go both ways. I want to go with "Baby One more Time" because I know it better. I'm more of a comedic person than a dramatic person. It just fits my personality more...

TRY NOT TO SECOND GUESS YOURSELF. Or in my case, psyche yourself out. It's extremely hard for me to make decisions. I usually like to weigh the pros and cons and I end up second guessing everything and/or psyching myself out. DO NOT DO THAT! It's good to weigh the pros and cons but don't over do it. Sing a song comfortable in your range, that you know backwards and forwards, and that you can really show that you've got. The only decision that you need to make is to play it safe, or take a risk.

WARM-UP. Do whatever it takes so that you can warm up. Don't think your embarrassing yourself because there's a lot of people there who are making themselves look like a fool but they are getting somewhere because they are not afraid to do what it takes to claim your prize. DO YOU WHAT WANT TO BE ON THAT SHOW OR NOT?!?!?! Then you need to find a place in a stuffy little corner somewhere and just sing... correctly. Practice your breathing, vocalize so you can hit the right notes, relax your mouth a little and work yourself up. Don't worry about anyone else, they are doing they're own thing.

BE CONFIDENT. Because let's face it, if you aren't confident, then you are arrogant. Especially if you are gonna go into somewhere not being yourself and 'acting' like you are confident. People will see when you are confident because they will mistake you for a know-it-all bitch-ass. But you need to have that mentality along with your talent. You need to know that you are gonna get this. If you want to go for something, go ALL OUT for it. Because if you don't, you come across as arrogant because you can't walk the talk.

So hopefully with these tips, I can look at them myself and prepare for the audition day and HOPEFULLY I will make it! I am so nervous for it but once I'm over being nervous, I'm sure that everything will work out in the end! I hope you guys will also take this on your own personal journey if you are trying to make it into any kind of business, and let me know if it helps you. =].

Day 3 - Your idea of your perfect first date.

Hello everyone! How are you? I'm doing pretty good. I am sitting here watching the first Yu-Gi-oh! movie. It's so good. I might have to watch the rest of these shows again. Anyways, the third day is to tell everyone what my idea of the perfect first date is....

Well, I already had an amazing amazing first date so I won't go into my idea for my perfect first date. My first date with my husband. It was about a year ago. The week after we got together we went to the Italian Inn. It's this really cute spot at 6323 Camp Bowie Blvd # 123, Fort Worth, TX 76116, you can visit the website at theitalianinn.com. Josh and I absolutely loved this place. The food was great and not too expensive and you can request for your waiter/tress to sing! They are actually all very good singers also so it's a great perk to the place. But the thing that really gets us going is that you can sit in booths that close and you can write all over the walls. So bring your markers and paper because with the very underground and intimate atmosphere, you'll want to write love letters all over the place. I wonder if the love letters we wrote to each other are still displayed under the table glass?

Having that dinner really sealed the deal with us. It was so romantic and lovely, the waitress was amazing, and we talked about our future together and ate amazing food. We most definitely need to go again soon, maybe for our anniversary to remind us of how we fell in love and go back to where it first started.

30 Day Blog Challenge!

Hey guys! So I decided that I was going to go ahead and do the 30 Day Blog Challenge. No, i'm not on a Blog Block but I thought that it would be a great way to start of the New Year by blogging every single day some generic things about myself and go head and progress from there! I got the inspiration from Ashley at The Usual Shenanigans. It seems like a great idea so I'm going to try it out. =].


Day 1 – A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.
Day 2 – A photo of something you ate today.
Day 3 – Your idea of the perfect first date.
Day 4 – Your favorite photograph of your best friend.
Day 5 – A photo of yourself two years ago.
Day 6 – A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet.
Day 7 – Your dream wedding.

We moved into our new apartment.

Yes yes. It's very true. Josh and I finally moved into our new apartment! It's a cute 719 square feet, 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartment. We don't have much but we DO have my MacBook and a little $9 Chefmate coffee maker that we got at Target and thats pretty much all that we need right now. =]. We are very happy with it but there's still some little things that we need the maintenance people to come fix for us. It's pretty expected since we are only spending 369/mo for rent. So there's gonna be alot of hardwork that we need to do on it buuuuut it's a place to call home for ourselves finally and we can finally start to work on our lives together. =]

BUSYYYY DAY TODAY!!!!!

Today is going to be a very exciting and busy day. Well, maybe it just seems that way to me. First of all, I’m working from 8:30 to Noon which is good but not good at the same time. It’s good because I get out early and I get a longer weekend, but not really that exciting because I’m losing hours which sucks ass. A lot of it too. But everyone loves longer weekends so I guess it pays off in the end.

I also have an interview today at 1pm. It’s an Optometrists office over in the Hulen Mall in the Sears wing, right next to Eyemasters. The doctor called me kind of late in the evening. I was still at work so I had to unchalantly go to the bathroom and finish talking to her. She just reviewed my resume with me and asked about my last job and my current job and why I wanted to leave it. I told her because I know Optometry more. I have more experience and I want to utilize the experience I have and put it to use. I’ve worked in the Optical business for almost 2 years and I’m good at it and I just wanna be somewhere I’m familiar with. Its harder for me working in a Chiropractic practice because I don’t know anything about it. Attorneys, and insurance, major med, workers comp, heat and inferential, IT, x-rays etc… it’s all great stuff but I need to be trained more in it. The doctor hired me on to do Data Entry and I’ve been doing it but he just demands more and more of me. He wants me to move up but he’s not taking the proper ways to ensure that I’m doing a good job. I try to give the best I can and I believe I am doing great, but he just wants me to do more than I can do apart from my job duties. I have to do more things that I’m supposed to do, and I’m not getting paid for it. So, I think it’s time for a change. She said that it is a part-time job. Which kinda sucks. But I’m hoping that it’ll at least be 30 hr per week and that she is going to pay me more. That would be great. I would definitely take it. But I’m not sure how it’s gonna go so I’m going to ask her today at the interview.

Then we are viewing our new apartments today at 2pm. I’m very excited for that too. We finally get to see what they look like =]. The only thing that I’m afraid of is getting approved for the apartment because it’s gonna be looking at my credit. Or Joshs. Idk which one but I really hope that we get approved. We definitely need to get a place of our own because there’s too much going on in that house. We are so stressed our about everyone else’s affairs that we aren’t working on our own and that’s what causing problems between us. With our own place, we can be alone and work on our relationship and do the things we need to do to succeed in each others lives. So hopefully we can start with this apartment.
We also have Stephen’s party tonight too which we are both excited about. We met Steve through Sara at a “fajita’s and drinks” get together she threw the day after Thanksgiving. It was really fun, the fajita’s were basically amazing. Sara got the fajita’s from HEB which is like extremely far but totally worth it. Then we had a lot of drinks, lol. Buttery nipples, Tequila Rose, Vanilla Coke, and beer. It was an extremely fun time. =-]. So hopefully tonight will be a repeat!
