Graduation and Stuff!!

Well, the school year ended awhile ago, but Matt has graduated 8th Grade. I finished school for the semester and am taking the summer off. I spend entirely too much time on Facebook, and not enough time doing other things. However, I am still rigorously looking for work. I have also started scrapping, rather than beading, as I have no where to wear my creations, it seemed kind of silly to make stuff I won't be wearing. I am also the proud Aunt of a beautiful little boy named Zander, and Matt just adores him. Of course, Zander likes Matt for his Elmo impressions! That's all for now!

New Additions to the Family!

Sadly, on March 14th, 2009, we lost out parakeet, Buddy, who had been fighting a tumor for 2 years. At the end of April, I decided that it was time to bring some new 'babies' into the family. So, my husband and I went to PetSmart and purchased two rare parakeets, which my son named Phoenix(yellow) and Fiona(blue). We couldn't be happier with our new babies! They love to play and chirp at us!

I am still looking for a job, which has been difficult because there isn't much out there. Here's hoping! I am still working on organizing and I am almost finished with school for the semester, just another week to go!

In The News!

The last few months have been rather interesting, truth be told. I watched a great many people be laid off where I was temping. Then, on March 5th, I was laid off, too. It's a gut wrenching feeling, knowing that it's going to be pretty hard to survive without a paycheck. But, I find myself thinking that I will be alright. My husband and I have definitive plans on how to survive this, and I started by buying a new software that does dictation. I will be using this in my writing. Until I get put on another assignment, I am focusing on reorganizing my home office, my home, in general, and starting back doing something I love, which is writing. I still love Sci Fi, changed what kind of crafting I do, but I still love my Sci Fi. I am also still in school, taking a total of 4 classes this semester. I am currently doing 3 of those right now. Very hectic, but I find it to be a challenge. I won't be bored, at least, not completely. I have also discovered the joy of Facebook. And the joy of being a new Aunt to a little boy named Zander! :) Well, now, that having been said, back to organizing the house for me!
