Christmas in KY

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Well my mom, dad and I ventured to KY to spend Christmas with my sisters. It was wonderful as usual.

I never realized how warm KY until we actually made it back to Ohio though.

It was great to see all sisters, nieces, nephews and the family.

I was given some money to buy some new clothes by my sisters, it was very much needed and can’t wait to get some clothes that actually fit. My parents also gave me some money to put towards my new camera. I ended up getting the Canon Rebel XSi DSLR. It is pretty spiffy, and I love it.

A little hiatus

R&R

Whatever reader base that I do have have probably given up on reading due to my extended absence.

In the last month and a half I have quit my job, finished a semester at AU, asked a girl to be my girlfriend, gotten dumped and the list goes on and on.

Inquiring minds…mostly the “Fink” want to know why I did end up quitting my job. There were several factors that lead into this decision. At the top of the list was I was just not happy. I would walk through those doors and a gloom would just cast over me. I guess part of this could have been attributed to the management. According to my store manager I did my job very well, and I know I did, but it just didn’t make me happy being out on a sales floor. I much more enjoyed being in the back and stocking and whatever. Fink knows I am good at handling the back.

All in all, I stand by my decision to leave and I gave them the proper two week notice. I really miss my co-workers though. Thank goodness for texting and facebook chat. I’m sure I will find another job soon, when one door closes another opens.

The girlfriend thing is really no ones business, but I think it came down to the fact that we were indeed just too different for each other.

I’m hoping to continue blogging and expect a post about my Christmas adventures very soon.

Take care

Stress…

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

We all have it, some people handle it better than others, but is it something that we can control? I was driving to work the other day, and it popped in my head. I seem to have a lot of stress in my life, especially now and I was wondering if it was something that you could just…tune out.

I normally can handle a lot of things at once, and stress really isn’t a problem, but it has seemed to catch up on my lately. There are only a few things that I can do that actually makes me forget about any issues I seem to face and unfortunately I can’t spend all my time doing those things.
It’s a pretty lame blog post I know. I am trying to get back in the swing of things after not going at it for a while.

So, how do you make stress a bit more bearable in your everyday life? Any secrets, tips, or tricks?

I’m still kickin’

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

I know I haven’t posted in a while. I just have been so busy with “life.” I never really thought I had one, but I guess I do.

The past couple of weeks have been fun filled. Studying for finals and working.

I soon will not be working, I put in my two weeks notice on Sunday. I get to talk to the Store Manager today. I have a feeling he is going to try and talk me out of it. It should be interesting.

Saturday I went and seen “New Moon” with my girlfriend. It was a pretty good movie, I really have no previous background knowledge on any of the series. Toni gave me a basic run down. I really like Bella’s 1963 Chevy truck in the movie, it has the Custom Cab trim. Although, from what I have picked up, in the book she has a 1953? Can anyone verify this. There is a huge difference in styling form 1953 to 1963, regardless a nice truck.

Yesterday, I nearly hit a deer on the way to school and the way home, and it was in the same exact location, which I found odd. Crazy deer.

Well I have one more final exam for today, then off to work, and then one more tomorrow, that will be the conclusion of my semester. It has went by so very fast.

How is everyone else doing with finals?
