Friday!! Yay!!
ok, if you're confused it is actually Wednesday...but it's MY Friday! After 5:30 today I am off for a week and heading to Asheville for a long weekend of visiting with old friends, and family too of course!
I am looking forward to having some time off, just not looking forward to riding in a car 6 hours tomorrow morning to get there! My dad is driving down tonight and spending the night to drive Garrett and I back tomorrow, then Gabe will be heading to Asheville with the pups after work on Friday. I had plans for just about every day that I will be up there, but yesterday decided to somewhat "cancel" all the plans and just go with whatever comes up. Definitly trying to make to Bele Chere, I haven't been in 4 years and since I don't live there anymore I would like to go to maybe run into some old familiar faces. The only plans I didn't cancel are my plans with Christie, she STILL has not met Garrett so we're going to Tupelo Honey for lunch on Friday~yumm.
My aunt and cousin will be driving up to Asheville from Fayetteville on Friday so we're going to try to have all the little ones at my grandmothers so she can enjoy seeing the youngest generation together. It will be my cousins little girl Makayla, my cousin Gabriel and Garrett:) The three of them have not all been together before, as a matter of fact my cousin Rachel has not even met Garrett. Being so far from family stinks...Garrett is 17 months old and there are family members on both sides of our family who have still not met him :( Pictures are the best we can do, especially since some can't travel and it's so hard for us to get out of town sometimes.
So...here I am at work counting down the hours...
AND I get a good dinner out tonight at The Chelsea, for a belated birthday dinner for Gabe with friends Jason and Sarah. Great start to vacation!

Thank God for Fridays
It's Friday, thank the good Lord above.
This past couple weeks have been somewhat stressful for me because of a multitude of things but I'll try to name a few....I have heard through the grapevine that some folks here at my job don't think I have enough to do...well what do they know (I am typing this blog currently on my job, shame on me...) Maybe they're right, but my boss know this, she knows she can't always keep me busy and I try to find things to do....But NOW I have people from other departments calling me and asking for help and bringing me things to work on. So now I know that the grapevine talk is true. I just ran into someone in the hall who said to me "you're lucky, I wish I had to look for things to do" That to me is not luck, knowing how everyone sees you in your workplace, like you are the one with nothing to do...Which is why I have started looking for a new job.
SO sad too, I love my boss and I wish I could continue being happy, but now I find myself looking over my shoulder and not feeling comfortable at work. That's not where I want to be. I look around and see people who are really passionate about their jobs and this school and what they are doing daily. I have NEVER had that. I am looking for my niche. The things I am passionate about are my family and friends, my health, my home...all things outside of work. But I figure, as long as I have to work for that paycheck, I need to be passionate about what I'm doing from 8-5. Which is why, I am searching for a position in the field that my degree is in. Health Education...and if you know me..this makes sense, this should be my niche. Or even something creative, but lets face it, artistic endeavors don't always pan out and can be pricey on the upstart. So...wish me luck.
Another stressor right now is money...so many commitments and new bills have arisen. I don't even feel like going into it now, it will just further my anxiousness..so for now, I'll just say THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY. Keep the car in the driveway and save money..those are the weekend plans, and that sounds good to me ;)
