So Much Has Happened ...

Since the last time I've posted anything. Okay, okay all of the "events" just started this week but what can I say? My stuff happens in cycles. For a while there will be nothing poppin' then all of a sudden everything just starts jumping off, and thus the cycle continues. Where should I start? I guess from the top. Bear with me, cuz this might be a long one.

Home Alone!!

This past Wednesday my mama went out of town to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with my step daddy and his family as well as my aunties back home. No problem!! I've never been one to trip about my mama breaking out and leaving the nest to me for a weekend. Actually, it's always a rather relaxing and confidence boosting experience. See when she flies the coop it leaves room for me to pretend that I live out on my own. My sister always goes over to a friend's house. I'm really living like I have my own spot. ((Except for the bills part)) I leave when I want to. I come back when I want to. Clean up when I want to. When the dishes get washed ... they STAY washed until I use one. The house stays clean. There's no fussing and complaining. I loved it.

Turkey Day

This particular time when mama took her temporary leave, I kept my little sister around. I love her dearly, and since this was Thanksgiving I kinda wanted her to stick around and hang out with me. Once everyone found out that my mama was going out of town, we got so many invitations to go to different houses to eat. No one wanted us to be hungry or feel left out. Little did they know ... even if we didn't get invited to a single place, me and my sister would have been straight. We just would have made our own little meal and been happy. BUT I'm glad that everyone thought enough of us and had so much kindness in their hearts to invite us anyway. But the end of the day me and my pooh were filled to the brim with food of every kind and there wasn't a dirty dish at our house. Now that is something to be thankful for in and of itself.

The 2nd J-O-B

So, I started my new job. Back in a past post I stated that I wanted to get a second job so that I could have some extra money and just to try to get a skip ahead of some of my "self created" bills. I wouldn't say that I just loved it, but I did like it. ((It's a job not a career so I didn't expect to just be head over heels in love with the place)) I met a couple of new people and even used my discount. <- Which is the real reason why I even wanted this particular job in the first place. I have a on going love affair with their clothes. By the end of the night, my feet were hurting so bad. I've never experienced pain like that before. I had to pray my way to car. I definitely need better shoes to make it through the holiday season over there. I still have my other job too. I can't wait for the checks to start rolling in. I'm so ready to be out of debt. '09 is gonna be the year that I get out of my financial strain. WATCH!!

Here and Now

This brings us to today. I didn't go to church. I took it as a day of rest and picked up my little sister, and we hung out. She is my best friend, even at her young age, we still have a great time together. I love her sooo much. I had a ball trying out the new GPS system that I bought at one of the Post Thanksgiving Day sales. I got it for a great price and works better than I could have imagined it would. I've learned so many new ways to get around it's crazy. My mama gets home today too, so I've decided that I'm going to cook a big dinner in celebration of everyone being together again. I hope that I won't be sorry that everyone has come back. This whole experience just make we want to get my own spot that much more. I love the freedom. We all know that freedom comes with a price ... it always has, but I'm ready to pay. I've got to get my own spot by this time next year. I'm gonna save my money ((for real this time)) and be out <- I hope.
