Life-Post College

I can't believe it. I've been out almost a year and couldn't be happier about it. I'm thankful everyday to be out of school. It was nice, but I don't want to go back. My college experience wasn't horrible, but it wasn't all fun and relaxing. If I had to be in class 4-5 hours a day, there was another 4-5 hours of studying that waited on me when I got home. Not any more! I feel like now I actually have a life now. My life might not be filled with daily fun and excitement. My non-working hours belong to me, and not to any looming studying. I go to work and come home, no work comes home with me. I spend my day actually practicing things that I spent the past 4 years studying, talk about an educational pay off. I might not ever get to have another "Spring Break", but the wonderful thing about being part of the real world is that I can take vacation....and THEY PAY ME FOR IT!

Fun and Games

This weekend, while Sheri headed home to see the new baby, I decided to spend my time hanging out with some friends from work. We refer to ourselves as the "newbies". We started working at Harris Methodist around the same time last year. Kinda hard to believe I've been a part of the work force for almost a year now. Anyway, I thought it was about time I introduced you to these wonderful people.
Meet Ed and Diane.
They've been married 3 or so years. I've never met any couple that loves to spend so much time together, and handle it so well.



The other cute pair is Jessica and Trevor. Married almost 2 years, they are expecting their first child this October. These are some wonderful people. It is all about fun, games, and enchilladas.

I'm exhausted!

I'm exhausted. 100% worn out. I am a people pleaser, or I try to be, and it is down-right tiresome. I'm one of those people that feel the need to have approval from others and try so hard to get everyone to like me. Is this arrogant of me to want such things, convinced that if given the chance I would surprise everyone? It's time to throw in the proverbial towel, it is impossible for me to keep up with the ever-changing hoops that I feel I must jump through.
With that being said, I retreat back into my comfort zone and curl up for a nap.

New-Age-MYSPACE-Cult

Really, it's not that I forget to blog or even that I don't have anything to say. I sit down at my computer a few times a week to write but without actually posting anything. I have numerous drafts, things I was unclear how to word, or unsure of the content, and interest. Is this a compulsive side of me that I am discovering?

MYSPACE has become ever popular. Although I've been a member for almost a year, it isn't until the past month that I have actually participated in this new-age-myspace-cult. I wake up in the morning and think, "I wonder if I have any new friend requests". Very sad indeed.
But this MYSPACE fad has become a place where people can reconnect with old friends, connect with work friends, and collect bunches of random friends for numbers sake. Unfortunately, this isn't a great place to hide from any people that you haven't seen in years, and don't really care to forge a re-connection. Thankfully, I haven't run into this too many times thus far and have even managed to find some that I've wondered and thought about over the past years. So, this thing can't be all bad....right?

BP is wrong...

BP is wrong. There aren't many instances where this holds true, but sitting directly next to your girlfriend/boyfriend in a truck is WRONG. There is a reason that they started making trucks with consoles...Stay on your own side.

I hope I haven't offended anyone, just had to get that off my chest.
