When life gives you lemons, be difficult and make grape juice!

Not necessarily the odd one out, but never really fitting "in". This is my life and everything in it. All the love, laughter and happiness; and sometimes the sadness too. This is my journey as a fruitloop in this world full of cheerios, trying to make my mark and live every day to the fullest! (if you have to ask, I am an orange fruitloop)

Hey... I spelled Frootloop wrong! (Well according to the cereal box at least!)

So, clearly, I have not been so great on keeping ya'll (if there even is anyone that reads this) updated on my ever so intriguing life... and once again... so much has happened!!!

In a nutshell...
1. I am still single
2. I still love my job
3. My mom is getting MARRIED!!!
4. I attended my first bachelorette party in Vegas while single
5. I am still struggling with getting healthy
6. I found a roommate
7. I got a new phone
8. YPNG had some awesome events
9. I am still loving life!

Break it down now...

So the single life has been interesting... I sometimes feel like I don't know how to be single... I have always been fun and outgoing, but what is the difference between that and flirting? When is it appropriate to flirt? What if they don't flirt back? So many questions and really no answers! How do I know when (if) I am ready to start dating (I know, I know, it's only been 4 months... but it still runs through my head). How do I start dating? Where do I meet people? Ahhhhh.... super overwhelming.... and that is exactly how I am feeling right now.


My J O B! Love, love, love it! I am so truly blessed to have such an awesome job and such a positive environment to work in daily! I couldn't ask for anything better... I really think without this job I would be completely lost right now! MINDBODY is by far one of the BEST companies I have ever worked for! I just feel happy every day!

Yep! You heard right ladies and gents, my mom is getting MARRIED! She is so in love and so happy, which means I am happy for her! It's coming up in August and I will be headed to New York for the big day! So keep your eyes and ears peeled for a blog about that :D

Single? Bachelorette Party? Vegas? What?! Yep, yep... my first time in vegas since I have been over the age of 21, single and with a group of girls! While we didn't party as hard as I expected, we did have a great time! We went out, dressed up and laid by the pool... no crazy stories to tell... maybe next time? (Oh yes, there will be a next time!)

*Sigh*... getting healthy... per my last blog this would be my biggest struggle... and of course, it still is. I have lost a bit of weight, but nothing to write home about. I just need to get my act together... I am trying though and that counts... right? I know, trying and doing are 2 different things and you would think if I was super serious about it, I would (in the words of Nike') Just Do It! But I am strugglin' (as a friend would say, I have hopped on the struggle bus, yes they serve booze, no its not helping). So I will try and keep you updated, but I am not too proud of myself right now.

YAY for kick-ass roommates! I found a roommate (Christina) who is pretty awesome, even though we don't see each other much its for sure nice to have her around. Her man, Dan, is here pretty often too so its nice to not be alone anymore! It's interesting living with someone after living by yourself all the time, it's nice to know that someone else is here :D

NEW PHONE!!! I finally hopped into the smartphone world and got myself a fancy HTC Incredible! And its ummm... Incredible! To say the least. I love everything about it, its the perfect size for my little fingers and does everything I need it to: Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, Email, IM, Pictures, Videos and phone calls! Yep that about sums up my daily internet fix!

 YPNG has definitely been keeping me occupied over the last few months! We had a HUGE (and very successful) Open House event in April, where all aspects of YPNG gathered together to let our members (and prospective members) know what we are all about! This event was held at Edna Valley Vinyards and was a great success! We had over 100 people show up and learn all there is to know about YPNG! At the end of April we had our Monte Carlo night to benefit the Children's museum and raised over $5800!!! Holy Cow! That is awesome! I have to say I love all the stuff that YPNG allows me to do and couldn't be prouder to be part of such an awesome organization!

Lastly, I am still loving life... yes, I have had my ups and downs (usually daily... cuz I'm a girl) and yes, I am holding on for dear life while riding that struggle bus... BUT I am HAPPY! Which, if you remember from my last post, was my #1 goal! I have awesome friends that keep me going and lift me up when I am down. And friends, if you are reading this, thank you for being you! Thanks for being so awesome and for always being there when I need you! I hope that you know I will always be there for you!

On that note, I should probably stop blabbering on and save some for the next post!

Have a fabulous day!

Live, Laugh, Love, Learn!

So again it's been a while and so much has happened! The biggest event (other than my new job) would be that I am now S I N G L E! Yep, it's true... no wedding ring for me! Just an empty room and a cracked heart! But life will go on....

It's funny when you give up so much, sometimes you don't even realize it until you're not giving it up anymore. I realized a lot of things about my life through this break-up (and its only been a few weeks!). I am a VERY outgoing person and anyone who can't let me be that person, isn't the right person for me. I really don't have any hate towards David, I was (am) just more hurt than anything else. There was a lot of thing wrong with our relationship, so I am glad he stepped up when he did, but so many things could have been done differently and THAT is where I learned my lesson. I am definately excited for the single life (never thought I would hear myself say that) and for the next few steps in my life.

1. Continue to work hard and excel in my job
2. Get healthy! Eat healthier and exercise (this is going to be the hardest one for me)
3. BE HAPPY (above all this is my main goal!) I will strive to be happy daily and do what makes me happy before trying to make anyone else happy.
4. Find myself!

I have partied it up the last few weekends with good friends and lots of booze, but February starts my 4 step program! I will keep ya'll updated and hopefully you will see a healthier, happier, more confident and successful Jenna in the months to come!

Talk to you soon
XOXO

I got the job!

On the morning of Tuesday, November 2nd, I got a phone call from Minbody and here is how that went!

Me: "Hello"
Mindbody: "Hi, may I please speak with Jenna?"
Me: "Yes, this is her."
Mindbody: "Hi Jenna, this is **** from Mindbody, I was just calling to congratulate you. We are offering you the job as Merchant Account...
Me: "REALLY!!!!!" (high pitched squeal)
Mindbody: "Yes! We will be sending you an official letter later today or tomorrow, but I wanted to be the first to let you know!"
Me: "Thank you so, so much! I am so excited! I look forward to the email"
Mindbody: "I look forward to working you, have a great day!"
Me: "You as well!"

That was one of the best phone calls I have ever received in my life! Poor guy, I probably burst his ear drum with my high pitch "Really!!!".

I got my "official" letter on Wednesday morning, which informed me of my start date (Tuesday the 9th), my pay, benefits etc and also had my background check form. I promptly signed everything and got it turned in and I look forward to starting my NEW JOB, tomorrow!

How did I land a job at the company that was at the top of my "Company's I want to work for" list? Be watching for another post on what I did to get through unemployment and land a job at my dream company.

Ta ta for now! Have a fabulous day!

It's the Big 2-5 and...

I was totally not ready to hit that milestone!I turned 25 years old on the 3rd. I would have never imagined at the age of 25 I would be unemployed, my family would all be moving to different states and I would be here... alone... with nothing. Well, I can't say nothing...because I do have my amazing boyfriend and awesome friends... but my family is a HUGE part of my life and sometimes it does feel like I have nothing without them.

I did have a great birthday though, friends and family came over on Friday night for appetizers, drinks and games. On Saturday I went to my first ever baseball game at the Dodgers Stadium. It was a blast thanks to a family friend who gave us tickets, a parking pass and a pass for free food! On Sunday, we went to the Santa Anita Shopping Center in Arcadia where I got to go shopping, have lunch at the Cheesecake factory (David's first time!) and then went to Dave and Busters for the first time. I really had an amazing weekend!

But now that my weekend is over, reality is setting in... For those of you who know me, you know that I am a pretty optimistic person, sometimes I can be considered too happy. When I was younger my mom tells me that it was almost like I lived in my own little world, where everyone was happy and got along! Why can't I go back there? LOL

Anywho, back to reality. This week has been a tough one... my dad's stuff got pushed to November 15th, my mom moved to her temporary place at my grandmas until she is off to Utah at the end of the month, my little brother left for Louisiana and we found a home for our family dog, Whiskey. Job hunting is getting harder and harder and while I know I can't give up, I just want to throw in the towel.

I am so grateful to have my friends and boyfriend to keep me afloat in these dark days, I know tomorrow will be better!

Thanks for listening!

Help Whiskey Find a Home

As you all know, I have had some crazy family stuff happen over the last few months. Because of this, we have to give up our super loving dog, Whiskey.

Whiskey is a 4yr old husky/golden retriever mix, he is neutered, I believe he is micro-chipped (we got him from the shelter) and he is great with other animals and children. He is house trained and good both indoors and out, he loves to just be around you, he likes to go on walks and would probably do well on runs too. He minds well and knows basic commands.

He comes with his dog house, food and water bowls, any dog food we still have, his collar, leash, choke collar for walking and his dog toys.

He really is the absolute sweetest dog I have ever met, he loves to have an owner and appreciates being taken care of.   See Pictures of Whiskey Here

I look forward to hearing from you!

Meet Pixel... The Cat that Adopted Us!

I have been oh so lonely here at the house in the daytime and David and I had been looking into getting a cat, but weren't really sure if we wanted one. We discussed it multiple times and decided that maybe it wasn't the right time for a kitty, since we couldn't even make time to get to the shelter together, how were we going to make time for the kitty itself (and everything else involved with a new kitty). Literally a few days after we decided we weren't going to get a cat, this adorable little kitty started hanging around our apartment complex. She slept under the cars, loved the attention from all the tenants and hung out by our front door often. So.... we started feeding her just a little bit.

Well, you know what happens when you feed a cat... she won't leave! She started hanging out with me in the day, coming and going as she pleased. Sleeping on the couch... running around the house etc. We absolutely LOVED her, but she wasn't really "ours".  I called the shelter to report her found and posted multiple ads on craigslist, this adorable little cat HAD to be someones, maybe she just wandered a little to far from home, and we inadvertently kidnapped her. The shelter told us that if no one claimed her after 30 days, she would be considered "our" cat. So we waited and waiting, we didn't want to name her or get to close, what if someone claimed her, what if she was sick... what if she was pregnant?


Well 30 days lapsed and still no sign of an owner, how could someone have given this sweet baby up? So here comes the decision, do we keep her, or take her to the shelter or call the feline network to see if they can place her? We just couldn't bring ourselves to take her anywhere but into our home. So we named her... after going through tons of names (Lola, Mila, Ms. Kitty Fantastico, Princess Peach, etc) we named her... Pixel (which everyone seems to LOVE, you can call her pixie for short if you want).



Our next step was too the vet...

Her first visit to the vet was last week, she was given her first LVRC vaccine, tested for leukemia, they checked to see if she was spayed and gave us a de-worming pill. When we got home she was very lethargic, would barely eat and slept all day (this is normal after a vaccine). The next day she was back to her normal self, so we chopped up her de-worming pill, put it in some tuna and gave it to her... but she wouldn't eat it! So we had to chop up the tuna and then mix it in wet cat food and feed that to her and she finally ate it!

We went and bought her a collar (since we had shelled out over $100 at the vet) with her name (Pixel) and our phone number, we got her food bowls, a litter box and some toys.

By Monday, she was back to her adorable sassy little self. I set up an appointment to have her spayed on October 11th, and have appointments throughout the next few weeks for her booster LVRC vaccine, Rabies Vaccine and Leukemia vaccine, I also have an appointment at PetSmart for a grooming session with a flea/tick shampoo and then a flea/tick spot treatment. I really think she is loving her new home with us, just as much as we love her! She has already started bring us "gifts" including a huge dragon fly, a lizard almost the length of her and today she brought me a grasshopper.

About 2 nights ago, I got a very random text message from a number a didn't recognize... here is the conversation:

Random #: Yr new kitty has a name. Kitty Thief!

Random #: I see you took it to the vet I hope you did'ent spend to much money on her.

Me: Who is this?

Random #: One of the owners of mesha

Me: Well she started coming to our house, she was malnourished and thin. She had fleas and worms... I posted her on craigslist as FOUND for weeks, looked on craigslist for lost ads, called the shelter to make a report and see if anyone reported her missing. She had no tags, no microchip... I did what I could to find her owner. After a month... we took her in.

Random #: Her name is mesha. U can worm her as much as you want as long as she has fleas she can get worms back with in 2 weeks. Fleas r hard to get rid of right now just to let u know.

Me: We have no problem dealing with this like adults, without the random threatening texts. If you would like to talk about it, please call me.

Random #: If you like her u can have her but she does just walk into random places so keep a close eye on her.

So it sounds like her original owners live nearby, maybe even in our apartment complex. But my feeling is, if they really wanted her, they would have taken more care of her and noticed when she was gone for weeks at a time. I just pray that she doesn't get kitty napped... we love her so much and would be very upset if she went missing.


That is all for now, I am sure there will be more to come about Pixel's adventures.

The hunt is on... and still going...

So in June of this year, I was layed off, it was probably one of the most horrible experiences I have had in a while. Nothing is worse than feeling useless and unneeded at a job you love. Since then I have been hunting continuously for a job. I have had a few interviews, but no bites, and the more "no's" I get, the more discouraged I become. About a month ago, I had an interview that was on my "I really want to work for" company list, I was very excited just to learn more about the company and to have the opportunity to interview with them, while it turned out that I wasn't a good fit, it was still a good experience, even with the disappointment in the end.

Looking for work is like a full time job. I get up every morning, check my email, check my 10 job websites and apply, apply, apply! I literally check back on the sites every couple of hours to see what else has been posted and what else I can apply for. I keep a list of all the company's/jobs I have applied for so I don't apply for the same job twice (that would be embarrassing!) and then I wait... and wait.... and wait.

This week I had (what I thought was) an awesome interview and I am hoping to hear back from the company soon. About 2 weeks ago, I had an absolutely HORRIBLE impromptu phone interview, I totally screwed it up and kicked myself every day for about a week. I have since moved on, used it as a learning experience and will be more prepared in the future.

I have been getting more and more prepared for interviews as each one comes up, soon I am gonna feel like I am just reciting lines. I have research difficult questions asked in interviews and written out my responses to each one, I research each company prior to applying, so I know what the company is, their visions and culture etc, If I dont like what they sound like from their website, I am definitely not going to like working there.

So far, my efforts haven't paid off, but I am hoping all this interviewing is just practice for the perfect job! I know its out there and I can't wait to find it!

Get Yur Hair Did...

Since I have lost my job it has been impossible for me to get to the salon and get my hair done. My hair is so thick and gets so long that it gives me headaches when I put it up, it totally sucks!

Well last night my amazing boyfriend said he would pay for me to get my hair done and I could pay him back with my next few unemployment checks! I was so, so, so excited, I got into the salon today and feel like a new woman! It's amazing what a new hairdo does for your confidence :D

If you are ever looking for a new stylist Lisa Ponce at Faces and Alamode Salon is the best! See my review here: Faces & Alamode Salon, Yelp.com Review

Our Second Anniversary

Over the weekend, David and I turned 2! Our Anniversary was on Saturday, but Davids family was in town, so we decided to hang out with them and celebrate on Sunday. It was nice to spend time with each other on both Friday and Saturday night, just hanging out and relaxing. Sunday was a long day, but totally worth it! We split the day into 2 parts, David wanted the first half of the day and I got the second (mine started around 4pm). We woke up around 9am and layed in bed for an hour talking and enjoying each others company. While I got ready, David ran to the store to get supplies for his day. At 10:45 it was time to leave.

We started the day off with brunch at The Clubhouse at This Old House, enjoying large mimosas and a pretty good breakfast burrito.

After brunch we headed home and it was time for a walk, we ended up walking to the park down the street. David brought a few sodas and some blankets so we could just lay and relax, enjoying each others company and the beautiful day. We rested for about an hour, then it was time to head home.



He told me I had to grab something I could get wet in (I don't own a swimsuit), so i grabbed some shorts and a tank top and we were off again. He drove us to Sycamore Mineral Springs where we got a hot tub! I was super excited, because if you know David, you know he HATES water! This was so sweet of him!

Once we got to the hot tub he pulled all kinds of stuff out of his bag! He had prepared a cute little snack for us; Strawberries, PB&J, Cheeze Its, Animal Cookies and topped it all off with Arbor Mist in some red cups! We sat in the hot tub and talked and ate our snacks until it was time to go home.

We got home around 3:30 so we layed around for a half hour until it was my turn to take over. At 4pm it was time to leave.

First we headed to the dollar store, I gave David $10 and tasked him with finding 5 things that reminded him of me, it could be literal, metaphorical etc. I did the same and we did our best to avoid each other in the store. Once we were done with that, we headed to Micheals.

At Michaels we bought supplies to create t-shirts for each other, we had bought plain white shirts on Saturday, so we knew what we were decorating. After picking up all the supplies, we headed to vons.

At Vons we purchased stuff to make our own home made pizza and then ice cream sundays for dessert. I got chicken, bacon bits, creamy parmesan basil sauce. David got pepperoni, mozzarella and marinara sauce. We had some cheddar and pepperjack cheese at home. I picked up some pillsbary croissant rounds and then we grabbed some hot fudge, butterscotch, whipped cream and peanuts for our sundays and lastly a pint of Oreo cookies and cream ice cream!

Once we got home from our shopping trip, it was time to make our shirts. We both worked diligently on each others shirts until they were complete.

After creating the shirts,it was time to make dinner. David made a pepperoni pizza with marinara sauce and mozzarella and pepperjack cheese. I made a chicken and bacon pizza with creamy parmesan basil sauce and cheddar and mozzarella cheese. After sticking our food in the oven, I sent David to the office so I could get the living room ready to create an indoor candlelight picnic. When the food was ready I set up our table and poured us some Chamisal Rose (thanks Jon!).

After dinner we went through the dollar store stuff! We each took turns showing an item and explaining why we got it. This was a lot of fun, it was silly but sweet, I really enjoyed it!

Word Puzzles - because when we first got together we would create words of the day and use them often.
Kitty Puppet - because we both want a kitty
Flower - because every girl likes flowers!
Runts -  because i was a preme baby (and I like candy)
Silly putty - because I am silly and we both like to play with toys!

Socks - because he keeps me warm and cozy
Googly Eyes - because I love him so much, he gives me googly eyes
Vanilla Candles - because it reminded me of a time he made me a bubble bath with vanilla candles after I had a long week at work
Goobers - because he is a Goober
Glow sticks - because he lights up my life


We finished the night off watching TrueBlood and eating ice cream sundaes! All in all, it was a fantastic day and I am looking forward to more wonderful years with my man!

It has been a while... and a lot has happened.

So when I first started this blog I was truly excited about writing daily or even weekly and getting my thoughts out to the endless world of the internet. But I haven't really written that much. So I am back (well I guess I was never really here that much) but I am here and trying to write again, lets see if it works out this time.

Over the past few months a lot has happened in my life that has made me re-evaluate what is important, who to depend on and where I stand in life. In short, I had some very intense family stuff happen, I got moved from a "we need you" position at work to a "b team" position to layed off and my boyfriend and I took a week break to evaluate our relationship and make sure it is where it should be.

My family has been going through some major life changes since February, without getting into too much detail I had to be the adult and the shoulder to lean on. While I don't mind being the strong point for family members, its hard when you are just as involved as they are in the situation, you have to pull strength from a place that you weren't even sure existed.

During this time my work made some organizational changes, at that time I was moved from the position that i was recently told was a "we will always need" to what they were calling the "JV staff", where we were told we had to petition for projects, essentially may the best man win. I was already so stressed out with the family situation that it was increasingly difficult to deal with the situation at work. Everything made me cry and I was having a hard time holding it together. I did the best I could do but was layed off a month or so later (along with 4 other staff members).

About a week after being layed off, my relationship took a little turn... My boyfriend was having some difficulty dealing with all the craziness I called life and "wasn't sure if we should be together". Talk about the final blow. I packed up and left that day, I was so upset that I could give and give and give so much in the 2 years we have been together and he couldn't even man up to support me in my few months of need. I stayed with my mom for a week, in that week we only conversed via email, somedays seemed like we were moving forward and some felt as if we were moving backward. One week felt like an exhausting month! In the end, I needed more support and appreciation from him and he needed more trust from me. We did work things out and I am now home, but don't want to go through that again.

After going through a week of sitting at my mom's house with nothing to do, I realized that I REALLY need more friends. So I posted a craigslist ad in the strictly platonic (I know, I know) looking for gal pals. And guess what... I found some! I met an amazing new friend, Ashley, who is a blast to be around and just brings light into a room! I also met a new friend, Amber, who I am just getting to know, but she seems like a ton of fun so far and I can't wait for a friendship to develop.

I recieved unemployment and have been looking for jobs daily. Lord knows how many I have applied for! I had 2 great interviews about a week after I got layed off, but neither of them worked out... since then I have had a whole lot of nothing! Just sitting and applying over and over and over.

This all leads up to right now... right now, I am sitting at home, waiting for my BF to get here so we can go do laundry. I had a great interview this afternoon with an awesome start up company and I am hoping to hear good things. I think once I get a job I will finally be in a place where life is settling back into place... while the issues with my family are still going on, the initial shock has much warn off and I think I will be OK. I have new friends, a newly revived relationship with my boyfriend and great potential heading my way...

Until next time...

Bye Bye Blondie

So a few weeks ago I decided it was time for a change, and that my hair is where it would happen. I worked up the courage to call my aunt and say "I think I want to go darker"... her response "You think? You need to know..." So I said "OK, I know!" 1 week later we were at the store buying my new hair color.

As I sat in the chair while she painted my hair with dark red/brown and threw some honey highlights in there, I couldn't help but be nervous! I kept thinking, "what if it doesn't look good? What if I hate it? What if....." It was really too late now.

For those of you that don't know, I have had blonde-platinum blonde hair for as long as I can remember, its always been long staying around the middle of my back, at this point it was passed the middle of my back. So going from platinum blonde to anything darker is a pretty drastic change.

After about an hour and half it was time to rinse, I watched the red/purple water pour down the drain getting more nervous each time I opened my eyes, but there was no turning back now.

She wrapped my hair up in a towel and sent me to the chair, were she cut and cut and cut (what felt like FOREVER), I got up to see what could have been a large hamster on the ground, man that was a lot of hair! So finally I get to see it...... drum roll please.......

I walk into the bathroom, turn on the light and look in the mirror. I am shocked! I think I like it.... but I am still not sure, its now a little passed my shoulder, a deep red/brown and my bangs are definately shorter.

My aunt calls from the other room... "Well, how do you like it?" I hesitate and answer "I think I like it...." she laughs and says "It is a huge change, you'll get used to it".

Now its time to head home, I jump in my car and head to SLO, hoping my boyfriend likes it too. The ride seemed like hours, when really it was about 20 min, I pulled up to see my boyfriends smiling face, I can tell he likes it right away.

So a few weeks have gone by, its lightened up a little and I am in love with it, not sure if I will ever go back blonde.... if you would have asked me 2 months ago if I would die my hair something other than blonde, I probably would have laughed at you!

YAY for Getting in Shape

So I have finally decided to start working on my wieght, I have met with my doctor and we are on a great weight loss plan. So far I have lost about 16lbs and I am very excited! I don't have a scale at home since it gets depressing and I would probably get obsessive with it, so I only know my progress when i visit the doctor (every 6 weeks).

My first trip to the doctor was last week and I thought I had maybe lost 5lbs, I stepped on the scale and BAM, 16lbs gone, that is probably the most motivating thing that could have happened.

I will keep you updated and potentially start posting before/after pics (maybe) lol, I have a long way to go but man was that first step a leep!

Turning into the one thing I hate most....

Weight.... I have struggled with being overweight for as long as I can remember. But I always made sure to exercise and watch what I eat.... this way when I complained about being overweight I was at least doing something to fix it. I was never the biggest fan of the people that were overweight and weren't doing anything to fix it, and I promised myself I would never get to that point.... but I did. I realized the other day that I have totally become the one thing I loathed most in the world.... that overweight person that doesn't do anything to fix it, but complains about it.

But I have also realized WHY people become that person. Its because you try for so long to lose weight, you watch what you eat, exercise every day, spend money on weight loss pills and diets and then as soon as you take a small break it all comes back.... for as long as I can remember i've gone back and forth between fat and thin... never really thin, but thinner than my fat stages. It's exhausted and disheartening to ALWAYS have to be watching yourself.... making sure you're not eating just because you are upset or bored or happy.... and not being able to eat what you want, when you want it.

Its disheartening to get to your highest weight and try to lose and not see any results, its frustrating when people don't understand and when people treat you differently because of your size. I am still me, just a bigger me....

Its irritating to try on 30 pairs of jeans and have not a single pair fit you correctly, and having to drive 3 hours to even find a store that sells your size.

And still, none of that is motivation enough for me to hit the gym, or eat an apple instead of some chips because I know that that small change won't make enough of an impact on my weight for me to continue doing it.

The hardest thing for me is to get motivated to lose weight, no matter what happens, I can't seem to get motivated.... and I don't know how to fix it.....

I guess I just need to suck it up and deal with it....

Time to Rant

So, lately I have noticed an abundance of rude people. It amazes me, how our generation and younger just has no respect for one another, people don't think before they speak and definitely don't care who they offend when they speak.

I don't understand how people can go through life, not caring who they offend or why what they say is offensive. People that think they are better then other people, for no apparent reason, and treat other people with disrespect because they feel they can.

Sometimes I hope I die young, because I don't know if I want to stick around for future generations, and see snobbery and rudeness overpower thoughtfulness and kindness. That is not a world I want to live in......

YAY For blogging

So I decided that I should start blogging, I have a lot to say and figure.... who knows? other people might want to hear it too! (Highly doubt that LOL).

Anywho, I have blogged a bit before (on myspace... I don't know if that is really considered blogging) but decided not to move it over as it is in the past and most are about how unloved and unwanted I felt because I had been single for about 4 years.

But my life has changed a lot since that time, I have a better job, an amazing boyfriend and great people in my life... but I am always looking for more great people.

So that is it, here is to a new venture and hopefully not becoming too addicted to talking about my life!
