Stamps.

Well, I've secured myself a job at a jewelry store at the mall! The mall is literally right around the corner from my apartment and from school. I pretty much won't be traveling anymore than one mile tops per day, I'd say a 1/2 mile at most. I start no later than Friday and I'm really, really excited about this! I knew once I moved out on my own and being away from Chad that things would really turn around for me. It's Murphy's Law that I ended up getting a job once I moved out, yet I couldn't find one to save my life when I was living with him. Chad, on the other hand, has yet to find a job and still doesn't put out very much effort to do so. He said he's going to make his decision about whether or not he's moving home when his lease is up by the end of this week. I honestly see him moving back to Pennsylvania. He's all about going with the flow and not about disrupting the current, but even when your going with the flow, you've still got to swim a little. He just wants a job handed to him and isn't willing to put out the necessary effort to get one. He's also not willing to suffice by getting any job because he's that stubborn. He claims that he's about working smart and not working hard. Sometimes you've got to work hard though to achieve and attain the things you truly want out of life. He turned out to be a nice guy but not the type of boyfriend I'm looking for. It's a shame but at least I took the chance to find out. And what's even better is that I found a place I like living (other than the Main Line). Plus, I've got Peaches, whom I absolutely adore, and nothing could make me happier and than having her in my life. Overall, I'm just really happy with the way things are unfolding for me. And of course for Peaches as well. I'm planning a birthday party for her next month. I already have one present picked out and I'm stilling looking for another. She's actually sitting right next to me as I type this. She's such a great companion and I knew she was the best choice when I adopted her. :-) My 24th birthday is coming up next week and I still cannot believe I'm going to be 24 years old! It feels like just yesterday that I was getting my drivers license and graduating from high school. Soon I'll be graduating undergrad and starting graduate school. Life feels like it moves so slow yet so fast at times. Okay, well its time for me to get into bed, but I'd like to end this post with a quote that I believe is so fantastic:
Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there. -Josh Billings

Congrats on the new job!

This is kind of old (only in this day and age would something from two weeks ago be considered "old"!), but I figured you might get a kick out of it anyway. The Sarah Palin debate chart!

Hahaha, I do love that! And thanks, I'm working all weekend Friday-Sunday, over 20 hours actually. AND I didn't wanna write this in an entry, but I'm getting almost $5,000 back from school. I just didnt wanna say how much in a post, but its the money I need for security to stay here in Arizona. I'm really excited to start work.

How have you been?

Not great. Money issues, issues with getting out of dodge, and the like. I have been cheering on the Phillies though. I know you're a Red Sox fan. Sorry about their LCS.
