Update:
I have now worked 12 days at my new job, and, I still really like it. It's kinda boring, and monotonous - but for some reason, I really like that. Weird. What I mainly do is go through the office/warehouse and pick out the items that people have ordered on-line, and place them together for shipping them out.
One of the first things that came out of my mouth when I came home from work was - "I just want to scoop it all up and take it home with me." :) And, I do. I love all the embellishments and stickers and paper and all the new stuff that I'm finding. Everyday I see something, and think of how I could make it into a card. I got a paycheck last week for the first two days that I worked there, but I really can't wait to get my first real paycheck for the past two weeks. There no similar feeling to payday. It will be really nice to be putting money back into my checking account, even if all of it will be used towards my bills. It will really just feel nice.
One thing that I'm finding though, and I'm pulling orders, is that I'm feeling quite jealous of the people that order stuff like stickers and paper that say "World's Greatest Dad!" Or something to that affect. I don't know why. I guess it's just because I wish that I could have the same feelings to put together a scrapbook page saying that my dad is the "world's greatest dad".
Other than that nothing too new is going on with me. Christmas is coming fast! I am really, really grateful that I got this job for that reason as well. I now can actually put money towards getting gifts. Even though most of it will be put on a credit card - it's still nice to know that I have income coming in to pay for the credit card bill.
I'm really excited for Christmas this year. Even though I was hoping that this year might be the year where Jon and I start off Christmas morning by getting up here at home, and opening gifts from each other, just spending the morning together and then going to family events - I think that I'll just give in and we'll probably end up spending the night with Jon's family. It's not a bad thing, I really do love his family so much. It would just be kinda cool to start some traditions of our own. But, we've got years ahead of us to do that. :)
Hmm...buy a Christmas card at www.shellycards.com.
That is all. Hope you all have an amazing Christmas.
