Seems things may be turning around....

I had my interview yesterday morning. It was for a wedding consultant for a limo service. 20 hours a week, but still, It's one step closer to my dream! Got hired on the spot and started today. It was AWESOME :) Didn't do a lot, kinda learned the ropes. But I love it :) Im even cool enough to get my own office with a phone with caller ID. lol.
I'm in school right now to be a Wedding and Event Planner. It's an online school, U.S. Career Institute of Technology (if you see anything that interests you, let them know I referred you.) It really is an easy to do school. Everythings online and I can do what I want, when I want. I've been in school since Oct 09, and I've learned a lot, but I'm still no where close to being done. I've done a little less than half the work.
I'm also getting my Tastefully Simple business off to a great start! We have this challenge that I've already completed part 1, but part 2 is a bit harder. I need to sell $600 more and get 6 more bookings by March 25th to be held by May 22nd. So we'll see...I'd really like too, right now I've already got 250 free business cards.

Hubs car broke down today, kept restarting...it was almost like stalling out every couple hundred feet. So thats not at the shop, so were down to my lovely little (big) minivan which guzzles gas. But it uses about the same as my little Rio, so I guess it's really not using much. It was recalled for the engine and if thats not the problem then its not free. If it is the problem, its free. Oh boy...lets see how expensive this gets.
V didn't nap today either. It was a long afternoon and she didn't go to bed until normal bed time either. We had a very late lunch (4pm) and so for "dinner" we had grapes and strawberries.

It's been BEAUTIFUL out! In the mid 60's. Windy as all today though. Almost knocked FIL hat off. I still haven't been able to get V outside though. Since I won't have a car tomorrow, maybe I'll take her to the play ground. Get her some fresh air while it's nice out. If anyone knows New England at all, it will probably be snowing by Monday.

Starting tomorrow, I'll start organizing this a little better. Do a daily reporting and then pick a topic, or story to write. How about it?
OH! You'll soon find out I'm a huge Disney fan, well I totally found this on amazon today!

YUMMY!

Starting a new....

I've been thinking about starting a blog for quite some time. I used to want to be in journalism and did an internship. I slowly learned that I did NOT want to be under someone else and I wanted to write about what I liked and not what someone was forcing me. From taking journalism classes I knew blogging would probably be where I ended up. No one to tell you what you can and can't write, debates come up, and of course the freedom knowing no one knows who you truly are.
I will probably blog about daily things or stories I've written, past events of my past in general. Some posts may be boring, others will make you cry, and some, will allow you to laugh with me. But its a journey we will take, together.


So here I am, sitting here while my daughter watches Aristo Cats. It's one of my favorite Disney movies, that of many. How can you not love the Disney movies? And how is it that Disney owns Marvel now. I wonder what's going to happen with the upcoming movies coming out. Like Captain America in July of this year.
Seems to me that there's going to be an uproar soon...
Anyone with a two year old knows how interesting life can be. My life is never one that gets easier. I love my life don't get me wrong. My daughter and fiancee are the two best people anyone could have asked to come into their life.
I actually just finished my daughters room this weekend, pretty exciting for me since I've been thinking about it for 7 months! V (her name is not V, but we do call her V) loves Tinkerbell. Everything about it! She loves tinkerbell more than the princesses. She knows all the names, has a coloring book, everything. So I figured I'd do up her room. Now we're not allowed to paint in our apt, which is common, so i had to think outside the box. So I got her a bedding set, curtains, pictures to hang, wall clings and strung mini white christmas lights on her ceiling. I did a few other things, but this is the jist of it. The lights and the purple curtains actually make her walls LOOK purple! Awesome interior decorating on my part. V comes in the room and spins around and says "its bootiful! so bootiful!" and touches the curtains telling me how pretty and soft they are. Even though shes only two, it put a smile on my face to know she loves it, even if it only lasts a year or so!
Some of the items I bought were:
















Well I believe thats all for tonight. I have a job interview tomorrow. Wish me luck!
