When I was a teenager I had this on my mirror in the bathroom
"CAUTION: Objects in mirror are more beautiful than they appear"

Job Hunting
As some of you know I am job hunting and that is always a fun and emjoyable experience.(Not really but we can pretend right?) I am finding many jobs that are available but the pay is horrible. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Behavioral Science with an empahsis in Sociology. I spent YEARS going to school to get that dumb piece of paper and NOBODY CARES!!!! Which is the worse thing ever!! Some employers have started off saying that they have VERY competative wages and then offer me $10 an hour. REALLY??? $10 an hour for someone with a Bachelors Degree is competative? Compared to what?? Its so frustrating because obviously I need to find a job but I can't afford to work for $10 an hour. Yes it is better than nothing but I make more on umemployment than I would taking a $10 an hour job so its hard to justify it. I actually had a second interview with a company yesterday and I am REALLY HOPING that they cal me back today. That's another thing, I wish that companies would call you back, even if the answer is no, we will not hire you. Then I don't have to worry about it anymore. Okay ranting is over, thanks for listening!!

Thankful Thursday (Gratitude Page)
One of my new resolutions for 2012 is to keep a gratitude page, which I will call Thankful Thursday. So from now on every Thursday will be my gratitude post. So this week I am greatful for a few things.......
1. My husband, he is AMAZING!!!! He works so hard and I love so much for that
2. My washing machine, yes I love it, because I know how much it sucks to go to the laundrymat and to not have clean clothes, I might not like laundry day but I love my washing machine and my clean clothes

Happy New Year
Another year over, thank goodness!!!! I am very happy that 2011 is gone and done with! Now with a new year comes new experiences and challenges and resolutions. I know that EVERYONE sets a goal to loose weight and then usually everyone doesn't follow thru with it. Last year at this time I was ending a weight loss challenge. Sunnie and I challenged each other to loose 30 lbs by our 30th birthdays. Mine birthday is this month and last year at this time I was ending a weight loss challenge where I lost 26 lbs in 5 months. I felt wonderful and not to mention I looked prettier good too!!! unfortunately, just like everything else it didn't stay off very long. I have decided that I am going to get healthier. I am not going to set a ridiculous goal that I won't follow or that I will give up in a week or two. I want to get healthier and with that comes a few challenges. But challenges that I am ready for. I will definately follow thru because I want this I want to be motivated to be healthier.
1. I will work out 3 times a week for 20 minutes, This is a goal that I will follow because its not everyday.
2. I will cook dinner at my house atleast 5 days a week, Now this one might sound kindof funny but because my husband and I work so much its so easy to grab food on the way home this will help us not do that
3. I am starting a gratitude page, I will keep a gratitude page of things I am greatful for, this will keep me motivated and I will share these gratitudes with each of you.
4. I will share my fun cooking recipes with each of you, so you can see what I am making at home
5. I will also share my workouts with you, whatever they may be, I do not have a gym pass, nor do I want one, but will let you know how I worked out during the week
6. I will also chart my progress every week and let you know where I stand
HERE'S TO A HEALTHY AND HAPPY 2012!!!!!

Holiday Hussle and Bustle
I don't know about anyone else but I am kindof glad that the Holiday CRAZINESS is slowing coming to an end. It is sad to me that so many people turn into grouches this time of year and are so rude to everyone that they come in contact with. While in a store last week, I had someone turn a corner and run right into the back of my foot with a shopping cart. He was going so fast that it actually cut the back of my foot. I turned around and the guy said "Get out of my way!! I can't believe you are in my way!!" Excuse me?? You ran into me, not the other way around, I was so not happy. Then, of course, I saw him again a few minutes later and he practically grabbed something out of my hand and said "I saw that first." SERIOUSLY?? Where is the Christmas happiness. I wish that we could all dispense from the commercialism of Christmas and remember the Reason for the Season, and that is Jesus Christ and the miracle of HIS birth for us all. May we rememeber that CHRISTmas starts with Christ and that HE is the reason for our fun season. Merry CHRISTmas to all!!
