More graduate school?

I finally know what I am going to do with my life! Go back for more graduate school. I know I know I have done nothing but say how much I want to get a job and forgo the english paper for a while. However, it has occurred to me that I am able to teach at a community college after just two more courses. Plus, it will ford me the opportunity of taking some writing courses, which after reading my blogs it is clear that I could benefit from that..where are you Haley Rowland. And with that I will keep you posted over the next few weeks in how that is going.

Second up...My Christmas Wish comes true....

My Christmas wish is always to send the ones I love a gift of love. Of course it's the same bundle of joy every year..the singing dolls from Hallmark. They get cuter and better every year! This year I have had the opportunity to send out three. One to my grandparents, one to my parents, and one to Haley. I have already heard from my grandparents and my grandma sounded so happy to have recieved it. I just love sending them something that will make them smile!

New Month=ephinany

Ok that is probably not spelled write. But the point is I have a new outlook on why my relationship was designed to fail. Deep down I always knew it would. I was afraid of it ending, of losing him. Despite our religious differences I have realized now what I should have never overlooked meanwhile knowing that whole time that I was going to ulimately regret it. Not because he wasn't a great person, but because I wasn't going to church, etc. I am not blaming him. I wanted it despite all of the reasons I shouldn't have. He did me the favor of saying we weren't going to work out. I could never take myself out of it. I was never strong enough, I loved him too much. But tonight there was a wedding. No church service, no blessing. I thought to myself how shallow. How do they know their marriage will last? I have to have God at my wedding. So with that I decided to at least contact Dan to see if we could be friends. He said he wanted to keep in touch. I will admit I have been quite immature and mean towards him in my thoughts and although there are some things I will never completely forget, there is something to be said about him and how he was able to put aside my feelings and say that we were not going to work. Because it is that one line of truth that I must not forget. It is our bottom line the one reason I can cling to as I break my heart out of him. I was not meant to marry Dan because he does not believe in God and God is in every part of my life, including my marriage. It hurts terribly because we were so close and I loved him with all of my heart. But there is nothing I can about it. No matter if I wasn't pretty enough, polished enough, smart enough, he was not religious enough for me and that means more in my opinion than any of the things that kept him from falling in love with me. So let's stop there. Let's stop adding up all the days moments that he was unfair to me. For I loved every second I was with him. Ifelt like the luckiest girl in the world. I have enough strength inside of me to walk away peacefully and say it wasn't meant to be.

I did something tonight that I never thought I would do. I reached out to him and offerred to be friends. Life is too short. We will all die. Why not let him keep up with me. I have prepared to learn about his life moving forward without me. And he never really wanted me to be in his life. Someone will Thank him someday. He really didnt know me the way I want to be known. It just felt right to smooth things over. I wish him everything that I couldn't give him; I am sure he wishes me the same.

Great website!

I love to put information out there about great discounts and deals. Recently, I purchased a coupon book for my trip to California. As part of the book I was privy to a website that I think anyone can use. The website is www.entertainment.restaurant.com. This website will allow you to purchase gift certificates for certain restaurants at a discounted price. In other words, a gift certificate that is worth 10 dollars can be purchased for 3. I haven't actually tried this yet, but if you do let me know how the certificates are sent. Do you print them? Are they mailed?

I want my Dan back

I don't think I have many if any readers so I am just going to write what is on my mind....

Lately, I have been putting myself out there on dating websites this week it's Catholic Match.

All I can say is that I want my Dan back. It was so easy so fun so natural. I don't understand how he couldn't have loved me considering all that we shared. It is so hard to move on and let other people in your life when at one time you had who you thought was the right person in your life. I know you all think I am nuts how could I be sad over someone who didn't love me. But the truth is I don't understand how he could have been with me for so long if he didn't love me. I think we just needed more time and that it could have worked eventually. I am so sad in writing this I miss him so much. Each day I am trying to move on, but I can't help but think of my very best friend and how very far away from me he is today and everyday for the rest of my life.

Three cheers for Wendy's

Dear Friends,

I know Wendy's is not the healthiest choice for lunch. But I was driving to one of my "jobs" today and needed a quick pick me up and something to eat so I went to Wendy's. Last time I went there it was a long wait and the orders in front of me were getting messed up left and right. I was not expecting anything special and instead was treated royally by the staff at this particular location.

I liked the way the person at the counter greeted me. It was an extra nice way of making my purchase seeming like the most important purchase of the day. Second, the order came out piping hot. I usually have to eat the fries hurridly fearing the fries have turned cold. However, this time I had to allow them a few minutes to cool. Oh and by the way the same person who greeted me made sure I received my order upon exiting the restroom. Another nice gesture.

Thirdly, another employee came over to visit me while I was eating to make sure my meal was satisfactory.

I praise Wendy's for their attention to customer satisfaction, quality of their food, and the improvements they have made. I will be sure to visit them again!

Legally Blonde...Why I like it.

Okay Okay I will admit before today I have never watched nor had any desire to watch Legally Blonde. I don't set out to be THAT person that goes against the grain; I am just not drawn to frilly girly movies with pink and fluff. However, recently I have been watching the MTV TV show about the Legally Blonde musical. This week I fell in love with the song OMIGOD the title may sound silly; but the range of the song is truly remarkable. That brings me today when I decided to rent the movie Legally Blonde and see what all the hype is about.

My oh My!

What I discovered is that there is a little of Elle in all of us. Wanting to please someone else and making someone else our dream then, realizing that there is more to life than a relationship and the hope that you can do anything your heart desires. Like many other famous Broadway Shows the story offers hope and inspiration. Even in a character like Elle Woods-whom, we would all love to hate. And as much as I hate to admit it this is the film that really drove Witherspoon's career. All the ingredients for a brillant success were present: Selma and Witherspoon had worked together before so they had the experience to pull off a brillant match up on screen, the movie clueless was produced a few years earlier so the writers knew this type of material would sell, and there was more to the story than girl finding herself.

I love the script, I love the characters, and most importantly I love the ideas proposed in this movie. Legally Blonde inspires all of us to reach inside and make a little difference in our lives and the lives of those around us!
