I graduated from BV U in Storm Lake, Iowa in 1991 with degrees in journalism and English. I always hoped to write for newspapers, and I probably could have, if I wanted to work for free.
One of my current bosses recently asked me if I still wrote, and without a second thought, I replied "No." Then, my second thought was, "Why not?" I love to write. Writing is the mirror to your soul. It lets people read your mind. Sharing your thoughts and ideas with others. Not everyone may like what I say, and that is fine, but some may actually enjoy what comes out of my head. So I figured, why not give it a try? What do I have to lose?
I said earlier one of my current bosses asked if I wrote, that is because I currently have three bosses. I work at a grocery store in customer service, I work at a health store as a sales associate, and I work as a merchandiser in grocery stores. I guess having three part-time jobs is a little usual, but that is how things have worked out since I lost my full-time job a year and a month ago. I worked in an office environment as a secretary since graduating from college in 1991, with a year break as a retail store manager. Having part-time jobs gives you the freedom of asking for what days you want off whenever you need them. This I really love. It also doesn't give you any paid vacation or sick time. There are ups and downs to everything, huh?
I am 42 years old, married for almost 20 years to Jeff,and have a 16 year old daughter, Elle, and a 13 year old son, Dalton. We are a sports family. Starting this month Elle will be in volleyball and in September Dalton will start Jr. High football. We have permanet bleacher butt, lost feeling in your ass. Good thing I have a lot of padding!
Other than family and sports, my interests include reality tv, movies, music, fashion, jewelry, wine, food, and most importantly the perfection of the act of relaxation. How do I relax? Mostly it is sitting in my favorite recliner with my feet up watching tv or a movie, with great-smelling candles lit and the little twinkly lights around my entertainment center on. You know, those clear Christmas lights that you can use all year long for a happy effect! I also love to travel, stay at nice hotels, eat out at great restaurants, layout by outdoor pools sipping drinks. I'm sure that everyone has their own ideas about how they like to relax, this is just mine.
Well, going to be going to one of my jobs soon, so this is it for my first post. Have a great week all and I will be back soon with more of my deep thoughts that need to surface! :)
