Summer Fun July 30, 2008

I can’t believe my last posting was in May and It’s almost August. This summer has flown by way to fast. When I was a kid I always felt like they just dragged on because my family and I never did anything fun, but now that I’m an adult my days by the pool are limited and disappear in the wind. I haven’t done much this summer, besides work, so I’m hoping to make up for it in August. Maybe a little summer fun with my little sis or some extra days by the pool. Anything just to say I did something this summer and to get a little color to my skin so I don’t glow in the dark anymore.

In June I got to see some family I hadn’t seen in at least seven or eight years, maybe more. It was a really nice get together. I was worried how much everyone had grown or changed and lost touch, but I didn’t miss a beat with all of my cousins. Nothing changed, we are still like kids again when you get us in the same room. This time we did what the adults do and exchanged contact info because our parents don’t live with us to say cousin so and so broke their arm again, oh so and so is getting married again. I made up the scenario, but it was really different to be around everyone all grown up.

Speaking of grown ups, my birthday is just around the corner. I was nervous and serious about it at first, but it’s no big thing now. I’m really excited actually. I haven’t decided how I’m going to celebrate because it’s not one of those milestone ages where everyone else gets all excited, but I would still like to do something fun and get my immediate family together. I know they like to have celebrations anyway.

I’d love to be celebrating a new job right now. I have been looking off and on since April, but I think I’ve been too picky. So, last week I put some deep thought in it and decided what I really want to do and what types of companies I see myself working at. It’s so much easier and I can be less picky, I didn’t lower my standards…just opened my eyes a little. My resume is all fixed up too. Now, I just have to wait for some calls back and I really hope that happens. My current job is okay, but it’s not very professional and management is a little wishy washy, it doesn’t help that we’re not making budget and hours are being cut. I think I’m trying to convince myself that it’s just time to take a step in another direction and change is okay.
