Today is my mommy's birthday!! YIPPEE! At her work they make you take your birthday off. It is one of your paid holidays. So she is taking it easy and relaxing at home. LUCKY HER! I won't be able to visit her, but I saw her last weekend where I gave her a gift and a card...it wasn't much but it was all I could do. She was just happy to spend time with me.

Also, My cousin Jeremy and his wife have welcomed their son into the world. They had a baby boy on February 28th. Don't know his name yet or any of the stats...but I will get back to you. WOOHOO!

I saw this coming...but you never quite expect it to be so soon. One of my good friends has told me she is very sick...I don't know with what, but she basically told me she doesn't have the time or energy for our friendship. It is a sad day when your friend, mentor and teacher says goodbye. She is my hero and she helped through the darkest days of my life. I love her and I say goodbye to her.

So I have come to a great understanding. I am unhappy and a little depressed. SO before I loathe in self pity I have decided that I need to change.

First I am going to get change the nature of my relationships with the people around me. If they make me depressed then I am going to modify our relationship or get rid of it all together. I need to stop being a doormat and seeing hope in everyone. Cause if a person is an ass to me now they will continue to be because I won't say anything. That is going to change.

Second...I really don't like my job...and possibly my career choice. First I am going to stay with my job and make it the best I can. I am going to work my butt off till at least I am there for one year. I am going to set new goals for this job and make it more competitive and interesting for me. While I am doing this I will think about what I love to do and figure out how to make a career out of it....or at least make money from it so I can live.

Get more hobbies. There are so many things I enjoy, but I never do them. That needs to stop. And I am also going to start to take better care of my body...so that my mind can free up too. I am not saying that I am going to lose a ton of weight or that I am going to exercise everyday...but at least now I am thinking about it.

This all came about because I realized that I had attained all the goals I had set for myself previously. And I have started to compile a list of some new goals. One of them was to be completely happy in what I think or do. So one of the ways to change it is to do what I said above. I know this will take time...but with a light at the end of the tunnel I can move towards that.

Now with all that said I have to make a commitment to stay with it through the end. That is the hardest task of all.

I don't quite remember how I stumbled upon it, but I did. I found the Penn Jilette radio show. It is basically a show that is hosted by Penn Jillette (from penn & teller) and it is like a debate hour. Basically he has two guests (maybe more) and the argue over a subject. Joe Rogan (fear factor) was on Friday talking about how the moon landing was a conspiracy. He went up against Phil Plait...who is supposedly a nasa expert. Let me tell you there are some interesting point of views. They had show about the Jet Blue Bill of rights. They have a bunch of different subjects.

If you want to check it out go to http://www.pennradio.com/ freefm.com broadcasts from a bunch of different cities and you can listen to it when it comes on those stations.

So now I listen in the afternoon while I am at work.

So Yesterday I took one of my cat's...Zoey...over to live with my grandma. Zoey is very friendly and my grandma said she wanted a cat and she requested Zoey. So I took him over there yesterday. He seems to be adjusting fine. He did notice my grandma's bird...but I think that will be fine.

BUT this morning Splatter went ballistic. She is normally a loving cat that always has to be really close to me. This morning she is growling at me and she meows really loud when I try to hold her. Not to mention she has not ate yet this morning. She is mad.I knew this was going to be difficult for splatter. No one, except me, even thought about her during this transition. See she hated Zoey when I first brought him home a year ago. He always picks on her...but I guess she loves it.

Well I figure I will have to go and get Zoey and bring him back. I hope we can find my grandma a different cat... THIS SUCKS. I might wait a couple days to see what happens. Maybe not even that long if Splatter doesn't eat.

So not only am I sad because Zoey is gone...but now I am sad about Splatter. But they are my children...and I made a bad decision. I was just trying to make my grandma not so lonely anymore.

Can you believe that February is almost over. Time is flying in my world.

On Friday the weirdest thing happened. I got a phone call about a job that I applied for last May or June. I have a job interview on Tuesday. I like my current job, it just gets monotonous. This interview is for a supervisor position. Basically I help design trade-show exhibits plus i oversee a crew of 3-5 people. The most appealing thing is that I would make anywhere from $10,000 - $15,000 more per year. That is about $500-$750 more per month. But I am not making this about money. I want to truly enjoy what I am doing...so I am giving these people a chance to talk and see what they are all about. So I am excited. Now I just have to find my portfolio....hmmm where is that?

I really didn't do anything today. Just went to the grocery store and shopped for groceries. I never shop for groceries because I hate it. One of the few things I loathe. But I figured since my tax money came in (not a lot) that I should go buy groceries for my bare fridge. Then I went to Walgreen's and grabbed my Rx's and I also went to PetsMart. Also did some cleaning and some laundry. Just what my few days off are full of.

Next weekend I am going to take Zoey to my grandma's. She wants a cat that is a companion and she requested my Zoey. I told her that I would only give Zoey to her. I love Zoey and I know she does too. I am going to miss him...but I can see him when I want to. I hope that Zoey is fine with the adjustment...I know he misses my grandma and he adores her. I also hope that Splatter does well with the adjustment. We will see. I said that if anything happens or she doesn't want a cat anymore that I want Zoey back.

Is a crock! If one more person says that they are "so sorry" I am going to hit them. Just because I am single I had upwards of 5 people say that today. Normally V-day does not bother me. I swear I don't think I have ever had a boyfriend on valentine's day. I just look as this day as another day. But when people are feeling sorry for you it pisses me off. It isn't that I want to be alone, I just am at this point in time. GET A CLUE!
