because I have to

So, I haven't posted in a while. Having a blog kind of adds a responsibility to ones life, or maybe it's just me, but I feel I am obligated to post something, at least once in a while. I dunno, I suck at writing random stuff. So today, my post will be about graduation. If you know me, I hope you can come to my graduation party, call me for details. If you don't know my phone number, you probably shouldn't be there.

I've been tagged

So I was tagged, but I'm not going to tag 7 other people because I'm not that affluent in the "blogging community."

Here are the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1) I am never satisfied with my hair for longer than 6 months (maybe not so much of a surprise)
2) I am loyal, to a fault
3) I like moving
4) I love animals and I love having animals in my place of residence
5) I have baggage
6) I am terrible at keeping up with chores around the apartment
7) I suck at coming up with these types of things

So there you have it. Enjoy.

Hello

So, this is an update in pictures. I like pictures.

We went to Ichiban's for Jordan's birthday on St. Patrick's day with family and a few friends and it was a lot of fun. The food was also amazing and would recommend it to anyone, but you better be prepared to pay for it. Probably one of my favorite parts was the gay mexican server we had. He was super nice (took the picture for me) and hilarious! I also like how the picture turned out. I look at it and remember the good times :) I like pictures like that.

So then Hailey decided she needed (would cry if I took it away from her) to wear my hoodie. I thought she looked really cute and she reminded me of Yoda, so I took a picture.

Then for easter, Hailey got the Tadoodles paint things from her great aunt Anne. So we tried them out and needless to say, she literally got into it. She pretty much became a part of the art work, thank goodness they were washable!

A close-up of the masterpiece!

Here is Hailey in her Easter dress in the nursery. I thought she looked quite adorable and of course you have to get pictures of the little girls in their adorable Easter dresses. Though Hailey was the only one of the family who dressed up, I figured she was dressed up enough for all of us :)

Other than that, life is still pretty much the same. Jordan might get a different job, depending on a few phone calls, I still have to find a paid internship for this summer, but have a few good leads that I am hoping will pan out.

Jordan and I are hoping to get into a house soon. We've already been pre-approved, but we personally want to get a few things in order first and then wait for the right time. Namely get some debt paid off. Credit cards are evil.

Loved it

Also, this guy, Jason Castro's preformance last week of "Hallelujah" makes me smile. I loved it, a lot. So much that I bought the 1 minute 45 second preformance clip on iTunes. (I think he sings it better than Jeff Buckley)

happy/sad

Sigh.

I have a love/hate relationship with the way my life is right now. I love living so close to all the people who are near and dear to me. Plus, with Hailey being in daycare, I have days to get stuff done! I really don't like having to pay for the daycare though, good thing we have savings. I hate job hunting. I can't wait until I find a job home and can be done with it. I hate living in apartments, I'm so ready to be in a house. I'm contemplating moving into a rental house once our lease is up, but rental houses cost more and that means more time saving up to buy a house. I hate the lack of space here. I need an office for my computer/graphic work, but I have a tiny desk set up in our ONE living space. It sucks. I hate not having as much money from me working, like I said, I cannot wait until I get a job (plus once I do, I'll stop complaining about it on here!).

I got CS3 in the mail a week ago, including my Dreamweaver tutorial CD. I have decided that I am not a fan of web design, it is way more coding than designing. I don't enjoy it as much as simply designing things. Who knows, maybe the tutorial will get better, but as far as building CSS websites, it sucks.

Last weekend when the people we were going to do stuff with couldn't get together, I realized the serious lack of friends I have. After a falling out with 3 of my friends (which really resulted in loss of contact with like 10 friends), I have a very, very small "group" of friends. It was pretty ugly, and even though it happened in February of 2006, I am still recovering. That sucks too. Plus, I am the kind of person who goes for quality instead of quantity, so it takes me awhile to make friends, at least good friends. This is another area that REALLY gets me down sometimes. The sad part is, sometimes I think I miss the people who "broke" my heart. I'm crazy. I am thankful that Jordan has been here for me though-out this entire thing, because if I was by myself, I don't think I would have recovered as quickly.

I am super excited to be graduating in May!! I am also excited to have an interview on March 18th!

So there it is, how I am feeling at this moment. I thought it might be "therapeutic" to get it down in words, but was it acutally? Eh, possibly.

I'll squeak one in before Febuary is over...

I really haven't been feeling "bloggish" lately, hence the serious lack of posts. But right now I am pretty much just trying to find a job, but not just any job, a design job. Those are harder to come by because they don't let just any Joe Shmoe in, you have to wow and dazzle them in every step of the process. Plus everything has to be designed well, including the resume and cover letter. No simple word documents for me, it's all .pdf files. But I enjoy doing it and will be thrilled when I find a job home. I feel like I've applied to a million different places and haven't heard back from anyone yet. Well, I take that back, I've heard back from one, and should have an interview soon. (((sigh)))

Update, but mostly Florida

So, if anyone is still reading this since I haven't posted a new post in a long time...I haven't forgotten about this! Well, considering my last post was the middle of December, there are a lot of things to update. Here it is in a nutshell:

We went to Florida from the 29th to the 11th and were there for too long. Too much Mickey for me. I got a job working at a car dealership and started on Jan 14th and left last Saturday because, when I was hired the GM said they could work with my school schedule, but the Sales Manager did not want to work with my school schedule. So I left. I am currently looking for a Graphic Design job that can work with my schedule. Plus I'll enjoy the job more since I enjoy doing art stuff :) Well, here are some pictures from our Florida trip!

The scary skeletons in the gift shop!
