WONDERING....

• How does any company think someone can live off of $7.75/hour??? I had a job interview today and the rate of pay was that.. but wait! Training - $6/hour, job shadowing - $6.75, assistant youth worker - $7.00/hour & the job I applied for $7.75/hour - all of course passing probation of 90 days and IF there's an opening then...
• Still haven't received my 1st unemployment check - called today - will be calling tomorrow
• Had a GREAT time in Washington, D.C. with my best friend, Ken! Even met a guy there, from Ghana!! His name is Kotey and he calls me at least 2x a day with a text message or two throughout the day... we will see....
• Marvin - NY man - is communicating more ever since I decided to back up off that! He's talking about how much he misses me...blah blah blah....gotta work for this one dear one... put in the work to SHOW ME you serious!!!
• Will I ever get a job to be able to support myself????

I miss my friends and family....

Blah Blah Blah

Here it is the day before taxes are due and what happens....I get audited by the state of California for LAST year (2007) state's taxes!!! YIKES!!!

I'm just feeling kinda blah here lately - I think all due to my being unemployed, school coming to the end (or near it in Sept), just frustrated in not being able to get a job... but I have to remember that God is good and that He is going to help and see me through....

UGGGGHHHHH

Back in Kentucky

WOW.... what a trip! I had a trip that I really won't forget. My grandmother passed away, so I flew home to California for the funeral.... AMAZING things happened there - was able to see more of WHO my Mama is...as a person, not just a "mom figure"... saw some dear friends that I have missed so terribly....

I got in 2am EST this morning... going to take a nap and take it easy before Easter Sunday... which I'm really looking forward to...

Feels good to be back in KY and it was good to be home in CA as well...

THE Trip

Here I am... the night before I leave home, tired as all get out and can't sleep. Am I excited? Yes and no. Going home to bury my grandma, so the sad part of the trip is that. But I'm excited to see my friends and family again, since it's been about 5 months since I have seen them last.

On to our journey... I will blog when I get back to let you know how it went... I will be gone for 10 days... I may blog while I am at home, but no promises.... lol

Crazy twists of life!

Well, here I sit on a Friday afternoon...talking to my current love interest...and I received a phone call from my ex saying he has a stand or version of MERSA!!! Can you belive that??? That is just crazy!!! Even though we are not together, I hope he will be ok...

Now, I'm counting down the days until I go home to see family and say goodbye to my grandma.... It will be nice to see friends and family again - but too bad under these circumstances... :o(

Looking for work seems grim! All over the country - no companies are hiring right now... but I'm still blessed and highly favored... SOMETHING will come through - soon, I pray...

WHAT A WEEK!!!

Hello there! Well, once again, my life has ups, downs, and lessons to be learned. Sunday I learned that my grandmother passed away and me being unemployed, has been trying to figure out how to get home to California.... well, I will just have to miss the memorial service. This has brought me to the lesson of the week, which seems to be a re-occurring one - TRUSTING IN GOD - for all my needs. I have to be wise with my spending. Sure, I could've put the plane tickets on my credit card, but not having a job, that would be to me, dumb spending.

I also found out that I'm going to be Godmother to TWINS!!! That's right! My roommate, Carmen, is having TWINS!!! Unbelievable! Her hubby is being deployed actually THIS Friday and will be gone until May 2010... he's going to Iraq. Keep him in ya prayers. So we are excited about this....

Still doing my Master's degree... have 4 classes after the one that I'm in and I'll be DONE!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!! Not much longer... C'MON Sept!!!!

Here's to another week!

These past 2 months...

Have been incredible! When I moved to Lexington, KY, I was in a sort of funk. I was miserable for a very long time.... LONG before I moved to KY. But the move has done me well - after a series of events that has taken place....

I was working, now I'm laid off for about 3 weeks now... but not worried as God is faithful and He will see me through this rough patch...

Waiting is the toughest thing for me to do... I'm a go getter... let's make things happen.... so waiting is NOT my strong point! lol
