I feel like I have done nothing since graduating college.

what a great life accomplishment.

What have you done since college...oh ya know, nothing.

Add me to the loser list. 

Alright, so I'm keeping my word and I'm writing on xanga again.

I decided..not really I was forced to take the semester off..to work and to get some money in my name because of bills and what not.  It's not really all that funny of a story, it was me being stupid and not asking my advisor questions about student teaching for next semester.  Basically, I did not take a Cerification test on time in order to student teach, SOOOOOOOO I had to take the test this Jan. and I have to postpone my student teaching until the fall.  Which has turned out to be a good idea.

I have been working at the same place for three years now.  Usually it was just during my breaks but seeing that I have a whole 7 months off and doing nothing, it was a great opportunity to actually move upward with that.  I am now a team lead ( so I have people underneath me and I am able to show my leadership skills and eat lunch with the 'big dogs').  It is a lot of responsibility, but I am looking forward to it.  It is also a very BIG raise which comes in very good time!

I am also glad to be just working because my second oldest sister is pregnant and is about to pop anytime now.  It's really weird to see her pregnant.  I know that this might sound really weird, but for once its nice to have the attention off of my weight and have everyone's attention on my sisters weight.  She is suppose to gain weight, just like any other pregnant woman, but with each person there is a different amount of weight that is 'good weight' to be gained.  She has gone over that limit, and for once, I think that Mel actually sees a side of my life that she n ever has really gotten before.  For those of you who don't know, Mel has always been the smallest of the sisters.  She is completely different from my odlest sister Andrea and myself.  She never has had a problem with weight and she's always been rude, and making comments about my weight and 'how come you can't just stop eating' stuff like that.  So I'm glad that she gained the weight, because after she pops maybe she'll get a dose of what I have gone through most of my life, the hardship of actually shedding the weight and keeping it off for good.  Hopefully she'll come out of this whole experience with a better understanding of what all I have gone through.  We shall see.

My oldest sister Andrea is pregnant again!  After having Wesley (their first child) Andrea and her husband had talked about having another baby, but it wasn't happening.  The worst thoughts came up about them not being able to have anymore.  After all, Wesley was the 'miracle' in their life.  After three years of trying they actually got pregnant with Wesley, and they were actually happy for once.  So this is good news, but it also brings more frustration with their living situation.  They need a bigger house.  That's all there is to it!

My brother Dave had another little one, a girl Olivia Jean.  They were actually on their way to the hospital and his wife told him to pull over she was gonna have this baby!  So he did and at the rest stop (truck stop/resturant) Dave delivered his little girl into the world.  Pretty funny story, they even had a news paper article printed about it.  He seems to be happy and his wife too.  Every picture of him and Olivia, he seems so exhausted.  I feel bad for him. He goes to work pretty early in the morning, and then he comes home to his oldest son Nick (who is Autistic) and Alex who is starved for attention..and now Olivia plus handy work around the house along with a wife that wants attention from him also..

That's it for now, I'll write later.

how so much has changed..and yet i find myself going back to the same old things i once did..

interesting indeed.
