Update

Wow! Crys was right. It has been an awful long while since I last updated this. I don't have too much of an excuse but I'll give it to you anyway. I've been very busy working two part time jobs. Neither of them is the job I ultimately want to end up with, but then it doesn't help that I don't know exactly where I want to end up. I do know that both of these jobs isn't forever though, and during one of them I am constantly having to remind myself of that. My two part time jobs are as an MCA at Sears (aka Stocker) and an emergency substitute teacher for the Salina School District in grades K-12. The substituting pays more ($90 for a full day) but is also one that I don't get as often. Sears is more steady work but the pay isn't the best. Only $6.20 an hour starting and they won't even consider me for a raise until I've been there for at least a year. I've only been working at both of these jobs since September this year. But it's something to bring in the money for now.

Speaking of bringing in the money, I have to work as much as I do in order to bring the money in because...get this...I just got a new car! Ok, a new used car but for me it's a new car. It's a white with black trim 4 door 2004 Chevy Impala. It has power seats, windows, locks, a cd player and lots of other cool stuff. I really love my new car and have actually only had it since the 15th of this month. I haven't gotten a name for her yet though. That I'm still working on. As for payments, they are horrible, but the money from both of my jobs makes it so I can pay them. Car payments are $295 a month and insurance (which I start to pay in Feb) is going to be $100 a month. Pretty pricey if you ask me, but it's worth it. All that money I kept putting into my old Lumina was just being wasted. At least now I know that my money is going towards something that is going to last me awhile, rather than towards something that might break down in the next several seconds.

I'm really anxious for Christmas to get here. I've already gotten all of my Christmas shopping done and the presents are wrapped and under the tree. At least the presents I got for people are under the tree. No one else has put any presents under it yet, but that could be because many of them haven't started shopping yet. We've been getting some snow yesterday and today. It's our second snow of the season so far. I hope that we have lots of snow on the ground this Christmas, but very little ice. I love the snow, but I hate the ice. Hehe.

Well, that's about it for now. Oh wait, I forgot one thing. As for my love life and social life...well they pretty well don't exist due to working so much. Although I am kind of sort of starting to make a new friend at my job at Sears. But other than that, nothing is going on in that area. Oh well.

Ok, that's really all I have for right now. Thanks Crys, for giving me a heads up about updating this. I appreciate it. Take care everyone and happy holidays!
