Cleaning Out the Old....Remembering the Day.

I have been spending the last few days cleaning my place. Throwing things out.....I have a lot of JUNK! But, I don't think I'll be done tonight. I'll have to continue to clean and throw things out tomorrow after work. Hopefully I'll finish before the first new week of the new year.

On my way to down town today I went to visit my former manager/friend at her work wtih out knowing if she would be there or not....luckily she was there and I got to see her for a bit. It was nice! She said she has a gift for me and it's House Season 4. The funny thing is, I've been wanting to get House Season 4 for a while but wasn't able too....that's actually why I was heading down town was to get it....it's funny how life works. It made me think again about how blessed I am. This year has been kind of strange and the Universe is still surprising me and providing me with everything I need and everything I want.

So, I spent the day looking for gifts for my former manager/ friend and for her husband and I was able to find great things. I hope they like it. Also, I spent some time with my brother and sister. It was fun as always! I think I know what I would like to do in the new year besides working....I want ot save my money so that hopefully by Christmas I can get a few BIG things that I want such as a bigger tv and computer parts so that I can start building my own computer. I can't wait to build it......it's going to have SOOOO much power. Well, I guess this is all I'll write for tonight. I'm still trying to clean and stuff. See ya!

New Year Is Around the Corner...

Hmm...it's almost the end of 2008. I can't believe how fast this year went by. Sooo many things have happened this year and there were also sooo many lessons learned as well as lessons still to be learned. Sooo many treasured moments as well as stressful moment. Sooo many wishes come true as well as sooo many disappointing moments. Sooo many blessings as well as sooo many hardships. Sooo many opportunities and sooo many doors opened as well as sooo many doors closed.

I think I've learned so many things this year as I built new relationships and also, given up some old relationships. I'm still learning about life but, I feel as though I have a more positive and a strong grip on what kind of person I would like to become and who I have become at the end of year 2008. I thank all my friends and those I have spent time with this year who have taught me so many things I will never forget and I will treasure those moments in my heart every day. In the new year I will try my best to write more as well as take in all the new experiences, new relationships, and new memories. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

LIFE Has Been...

Life has been a little busy these past few or more months I haven't even been able to post any new blogs. But I plan to change in the New Year and hopefully I will be able to write more often (knock on wood).

The year is almost over I and I feel as though so many things have changed with me, the way I live my life, and even the people I choose to hang out with. It's strange how things change as one gets older, or change just with life itself. This year with me however, I find that I've learned a lot from people who I see every day like from my friends who are like my sister and brother and in many ways. I'm truly thankful for them.

Hmm....I have been working two jobs since the summer and in the beginning it was hard but, now I feel as though I go to work and days that I'm off....I do many, many things that I cannot do during the days I work. I think I'm getting used to it now. I'm learning to time manage but I never have time to see my friends. I guess that's just part of Life or just the way Life is supposed to work. I realized that I like to read. Strange.....I never used to like to read. It's interesting how this year is finishing in simple terms with everything around me. I've learned many things that my parents never taught me, I've learned how to better myself as a person and treat others the way I would want to be treated. I know we all know this but, do we really??

Well, I think this is all I'm going to write for now. It's getting late and I need to sleep now so that I can spend another 8 or 9 hours at work tomorrow. Then I need to come home and eat dinner and get ready for Monday which, is my Friday. See ya. Good night and Sweet Dreams.
