About Me

My photo
I love writing. If you want to know anything else just ask me or else read up! I have two blogs ("A Pen Itching To Bleed Onto Paper" and "The Rebirth of J"). One of my blogs (A Pen...) is updated more frequently than the other. "The Rebirth” is more of a story I am writing with my life whereas "A Pen" would be my random thoughts past, present, and future in this unfolding journey I call life. If this is your first time reading my blog, please visit Post #2 for the month of April 2008 in my "A Pen" blog archives... Thanks!

Just An Update...

Hey Folks! Just want to say I'm sorry for not posting lately. It is one of my "dry" seasons when it comes to writing. In all honesty, I can't find anything to write about. I'm drawing blanks every time that I open this page up. So let me just update you on my life for a bit and we'll consider it an official entry, shall we?!

As of right now I am 4 1/2 years into working at The sexual Assault and Domestic Violence center. recently my job has been getting a bit more interesting, but i realize this is not a career for me. To be honest, the main reason for that conclusion is the money they offer for these positions, it's not much. As selfish as this all sounds, you have to understand, I can't raise a family off of the amount I am making. It's not bad money, but it's not great either. I could survive off of it (and do well) if I was single my whole life, but I don't plan on being single my whole life. I plan on getting married. I'll keep you guys posted on this!

on a related note, I have a job interview on friday for a second job. I need to make bucks fast and since street pharmacist is no longer a career option, I have to look for a second job. I will let you all know how it goes.

Adopt a block (the ministry my sister and I are working with at church) is going great! It keeps us really busy and to be honest, we love doing it! I am having so much fun with this ministry! I am meeting new people, helping others, and doing the will of God. I'm excited for what is to come. please keep it all in prayer.

I am currently trying to lose weight. I have lost about 15 lbs to date. I have now set an official goal. I want to lose 55 lbs by next may. I think I can do it! and to be honest I need to do it to keep this stupid diabetes under control which as of now is okay. It's not too much of a nuisance since I don't need insulin shots or finger pricking. Please keep that in prayer as well.

I think that's pretty much it for now. I will keep you guys posted on all of these subjects in the future. I hope all of my readers are doing well. Thanks for always keeping in touch. You guys are my friends, not just my readers. I look forward to reading all of your comments whenever i log in. Thanks for reading my ramblings!

I hope you get the second job, & I hope it isn't all too stressful...but then owing money is stressful too, so.

I know you can do the weight loss; you sound motivated & mature about it. Eat lots of flaxseed & edamame(well, I like those things, because they liven up what I eat without any bad ingredients).

Keep doing as much of what you love as possible. ~Mary
