Long time no post. Feels like it's been ages.
Nothing new with me. Same thing different day kinda routine going on : work, work, and more work. But I guess that's what's in line when I want to make money!! (not that I am complaining, making money is great) And it's finally paying off!! I actually have money in the savings account and have stuck to my new financial plan so far, so things are in the green in that department (for once!!)
Been thinking a lot about the future, school and lots of other misc. things. School is going back on hold for now. With how the economy is and the fact that I haven't been able to stick to just one major, I think it is best to wait. I could go take some basic classes if I want, but right now I think that wouldn't help any. Spending money when I don't know what direction I want to take doesn't seem logical to me. Yes, I know that when taking basics along the way you can figure out the major, but that defeats my whole college plan. I want to KNOW what I want to major in and be committed to stick with it first. I have plenty of time to go to school, so I am over feeling like I am wasting my life not going. I will go eventually.
It's just been so hard for me to just pick one thing and stick with it. I know that whatever I pick I will accel at it, it's just so hard to pick just one!! Right now with the shape of the economy and the loss of jobs, it's been making me think about what degrees will be left and needed.
I know the medical field will always be needed and in demand, but that's not me. I don't like the idea of working in a hospital. Too sad and depressing to me. Same with pharmacy. It is a stressful job and work environment and at times sad with all the sick people that I interact with. I know I'd be helping them, but I'd still be sad all the same. I tend to get over emotional at times, even at work. So medical is a no go.
I keeping thinking of interior or culinary, two things I've always loved. But interior is shot, since the architecture side is not in demand. Culinary is hit or miss.
So I am pretty much back at the drawing table, but that's ok. I have time. No rush.
George and I are doing great. Going on 4 years in October. I am so excited that he'll be meeting all my family in a few weeks at my sisters' wedding. Not many people have met him. I know he'll be all nervous, but it will be fun (at least I hope it will be) I'm not a big social event person. I tend to like to stay home and make other plans. That's just the type of person I am.
I figure that when I get married I won't even have a wedding. Just sign the documents at the court house and have a party or something. Weddings are not my thing, nor is marriage. I think both are entirely overrated. So you're married? Marriage doesn't mean what it use to. I see in the news married men cheating on their wives. How is it special when there is so much of that going on? If we ever get married, it will be at least after we've been together for 10 years. I have no problem with that.
We've joked about marriage before, but after thinking about it, it wouldn't change anything. We'd still be just as committed as we are now. The requirements still stand. If we are to get married we first need to have : completed or nearly completed college, have good paying jobs, debt managed, a house. Always seemed impossible to me, but after the talks we've had and now that I am saving money, it seems possible.
I have never known anyone else who has ever made me as happy as he has. He is always there for me when I need him and I try my best to be there for him.
Dad keeps joking with me that I am next to get married. Of course he already knows about the requirements, which he finds to be very adult and responsible of us. He really likes George a lot (which is such a relief) and he gets along with him for the most part. I know I don't need my parents' approval of the man I marry, but it makes things a lot easier that they like George.
I feel very lucky to have such a great guy. I know at times I don't deserve him since I do sometimes treat him badly, but he is mine, as I am his.
Pretty much, we are stuck together. Tighter than glue LOL But I don't mind. I guess in more ways than one we are stuck (not in a bad way) We recently just switched cell phone service carriers (I'm still in the process of canceling T-Mobile, the phones will be here on Tuesday) Switched to Verizon (which is a major plus!!) I can finally accept and make calls at home!! (will send out new # when I get my phone)
So things are on a more positive note for a change!! Even for Dad. After being unemployed for a year, looks like he has another job offer. NTI in Cleveland is looking for a quality manager. He sent his questionaire to the manager while I was at the house today. I hope he gets the job. He has been going crazy being jobless (so has mom!!)
Final ending thoughts : things can always get better ^_^
