update on life

I'm going to be real with y'all:  I started this blog at another job where my main purpose was to sit and stare at an empty computer screen.  Since the eventual demise of weekly hours and our Internet usage was decimated, I got a little slack with the updates.  Oops... My bad.

So here's a little life update.

I have quit the aforementioned job and the other one I had at the time, and now work full-time for an architectural firm in downtown Baton Rouge.  I initially intended to attain a full-time job for January - August so that I could catch up on some debts while awaiting the nursing school verdict, but now it's seeming like I might be around here for awhile.  Not really sure how I feel about that.  But making money will be nice and I'm not sure I'll want to rush back into the world of not making money.  Also, I've recently been complimented on my mad writing skills, and I've been thinking, maybe that's what I want to do instead.  I have no idea.  (In fact, if you, mystery reader, have an idea of what I might be when I grow up, pretty please share...)

My life is better than it has been in too long of awhile.  Y'all... God is awesome.  He and I had quite the chat on Sunday and He filled me up like He never has before.  This week has been so great, so blessed.  I'm looking forward to every single day with Him, like I've never felt before.  Ah, wonderfulness.  His wonderfulness.  I might share some of that chat with you later on.

In my spare time, I watch a lot of 24 with my roommate, do a lot of sleeping on the couch, budget every penny of my life out, and daydream about my upcoming work outfits (and some weekend ones).  I didn't know I had it in me- but I really like clothes.  I'm working on my closet and all the inspiration I could possibly get, so be prepared for some more fashion-themed posts.

I'm also really excited to have time to read again.  I spend my lunch hour every day reading (lately it's been the last four installments of the Harry Potter series, currently halfway through Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and I'm so glad to read.  It makes my heart (and mind) happy.

I've been running, though my goal of a half-marathon in March is now ridiculously out of reach, so I'll find some other running goal to meet and I'll meet it.  I really did like it up until it felt more like a chore.  Maybe I'll get to that "runner's high" place and never want to look back and will never be able to stop running.

more soon.  promise.
