Well hello there...
Man, so much has changed since I last wrote in here. My sister had a kid, a boy. He is awesome! She is now dating an awesome man and my brother is married (so strange). I'm still single...but I prefer my life that way. I have a job, not one that I am particularly happy with all the time, but who really is? I haven't gone back to school yet but I think that I might have found something to go back to school for...engineering, maybe. I can't believe that I have neglected my live journal so much....but then I guess Facebook has taken over the world so most people don't really care to even remember live journal. I kinda like that though, because it means that I can pretty much post whatever I want in here and not have to worry too much about people I know reading it and getting upset by my random venting. Any who, I am looking forward to this weekend. I am going to the Ren-Fest with my family. My nephew, Ethan is really looking forward to it. He has never been, he is 3 now. He is sooo smart and freaking funny as all hell. He wants to try Archery while we are there...he says and I quote, "I'm gonna do it like Brave." I swear the things this kid comes up with is crazy. Something else that has changed since I last posted in here....I lost 40 lbs and I no longer look like a vampire. I have acquired a tan via tanning beds! And thank god for that, I was tired of looking so pasty. As sad as this seems but I really don't have much else to post on here about my life...so really not much has changed, lol. Well maybe a lil...I laugh a lot more and I try not to let things get me down so much. Oh and I have taken an interest in cooking. I got a Thai cookbook for Christmas and to quote my mom and some of my co-workers, I do good work :)
It is really funny, I never liked cooking until I got that cookbook....well actually I liked cooking but mostly just side dishes and dessert. I make an awesome cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving that has apples in it. My family demands it every year. Plus I recently made Raspberry Swirled Cheesecake cupcakes for my friend. They turned out really good....they cracked along the top but they tasted amazing! I have discovered that I can cook and that I like to but really only when I find something that I like to make. I never really cared to make stuff like hamburgers, steak, pork chops, meatloaf, etc. I like making asian dishes. I am going to need to get a Chinese food cookbook. My mom and I are also going to look for a Greek food cookbook. I have discovered the joys of cooking stuff that I like and I hope that I continue in this fashion. Maybe it will help me get the courage and drive to go after my degree....I just need success in something that I attempt to do and once I get that taste of success I think that I will be more inclined to really try at other things that I want for myself. Well it is late and I need to get up for work. Talk to you later I hope.
