This is my blog... I occasionally write on it and some family receive it in an email... so just so they know... this is my blog.
Anyway. My mother and I were watching Amanda tonight... we were on our way over to Aunt Joanie's house and Amanda stated that she liked the hair hanging from my rear view mirror, which I proceeded to tell her was a tassel that you get from college... she responded with "oh" like she knew what college was. Mom asked her what she wanted to study in college... Amanda is 3 but it is smart to start planning now. She asked her if she wanted to be a nurse or doctor.. Amanda then answered with a very excited tone saying "a GYPSY". Thats right friends Amanda is going to study to become a Gypsy. I thought it sounded like a good idea. I mean I went to school to be an opera singer which sounds equally as crazy to me... So who's to say that Amanda can't go to school to be a Gypsy.
Also... Grandpa Vern was talking about how on January 1st he is eating better and cutting out the sweets... I teased him about is cause really he could start now, but people like to start on the first day of the new year... but it did get me thinking about what I want to work on or change for the new year...
1. Work on being less bossy and honery. I have moments where I really think I am smarter than some or just know how to do things better and I can't help but tell them really how to do it better... I get teased about this personality flaw often... so I guess its time to change.
2. Talk less. I once had a boy compare me to the woman on Sense and Sensibility who is so chatty and never stops talking... so bad that no one can get a word in and her husband completly ignores her and just gives really snide one word answers to her questions... she claims she just can't believe something and she looks at her husband and repeats the phrase 3 times and her husband from behind the newspaper says "try"... really saying shut up. It kinda burned me at the time when the boy made this comparison... but he was kinda right... I talk too much.. so this needs work.
3. I will live life with a more optimistic outlook.... cheesy, but really... I think it would help my situation or station in life if I was a little more optimistic and learned to like what comes along.
Just some thoughts for the new year... wish me luck.

I'm a big girl now...
Today has been interesting. It started off with waking up way too early to babysit my niece, which was fine, but I got no sleep last night. After that I went home and took a nap. I then ran off to my Dr. appointment... (just a post op check up from my surgery.. everything looks good.. yay!). Once I got home my phone immediately started ringing and it was my grandpa telling me I got a job at his corporate office.. yay! so exciting, but... I just barely started a new job at Carmax to sell cars. I start the new job tomorrow meaning I had to quit Carmax today. I immediately panicked having never quit a job before with out using the great excuse of "I have too many credits and no time to work". So i called my sister who advised me to write a letter of resignation... so I did.. took it to work, they said sorry to see you go, and I left. No Prob! yay! I feel very adult today... quitting and not crying! I know... It makes me think of that pull ups commercial "I'm a big girl now" and Ive got potty training on the brain (my niece is trying... not me.... and she only gets it right about 60% of the time... the rest is on the floor... a little gross).

Hilariousness at the library
So, today I had an awesome experience while wasting time at the library, which has thus compelled me to start a blog, it is the perfect place to vent a story like this one. But, before I relate the story I must give some background to fully comprehend the hilariousness of the story. My siblings are (or were when they were still single) really into online dating. I have always been against it as I am naturally social and figure I could find a mate without using technology, but... I caved and joined a couple sites. I quickly discovered why I had avoided it for so long.. yes I am talking of the freaks. Its full of them. I happened to meet this one guy who shall remain nameless, but we started chatting on MSN, and then I lost interest in online dating crap and stopped checking the sites and talking to people I met on there.
So, here we are now, approximately 2 years later, and I am here at the library being a faithful friend to my roommate who needed to come here to study so I came with her, not having any homework or studying really to do, but I brought movies to watch and figured I could be happy for a couple hours. While watching "You've got Mail" (a favorite) I decided to sign into MSN which I don't do often because not many of my friends use it anymore and I'm not usually on my computer long enough to carry on any meaningful conversation. Next thing you know, someone starts to message me, someone I didn't recognize and we quickly remedied that, and began our conversation. It was ok, but nothing special or truly interesting to keep my interest, but he was persistent. In his persistence he kept asking for a recent picture of me. He finally got my last name and looked me up on facebook... ah facebook, the stalker's ultimate tool... anyway, after looking at my profile for a minute he quickly signed off MSN and blocked me on facebook. Wow right?! I was surprised, I mean, I am by no means repulsive... or ugly... I would say I'm a hottie.. I mean.. who doesn't love a busty, feisty, redhead who is full of personality?? Hilarious right? So, in my retaliation I wrote him a note on facebook, it might have been a little too mean, but I didn't really want to talk to him anymore.... he did not look like my type or even a good guy, and he hates Las Vegas... HUGE strike in my book. I digress, I apologize. I think more than anything I was shocked by his harshness, it was unnecessary and truly unkind. He's lucky I have lots of self-esteem, that could have hurt. I thought the whole thing was too funny, and had to share its absurdity with everyone. Here is the message I sent to him (in case you would like another laugh):
thanks bud... that was real nice of ya. you could have at least waited till tomorrow to give me the shaft when I would have already forgotten about you. no wonder you are still single, no one good enough to please your eye? lame. Man, this is too funny. Thanks for giving me and my roommate a good laugh while we are here at the library going crazy with boring homework... haha. we didn't realize that boys like you actually existed.
Sincerely,
Marilyn
Hope this put a little smile on your face, because it really put one on mine and made the whole wasting-time-at-the-library thing worth it.
