Blog Tour Part IX

So I've been kinda slack in writing anything new here. For those of you who take the time to click on my little blog and look you haven't had anything new to read since the beginning of the month. Now I do realize that the month is only half over so you've gone approximately 9 day without anything new from me. So for you patient people...here is something new. You're welcome.

What are you planning on doing this summer/what are you most looking forward to doing?

That is the latest blog tour topic. And here is my response. I WANNA NEW JOB! :) And the good news is I may have one I really really like shortly however it won't start until July 15th. The better news (if I get the job) is that I have a temp job for the next 2 weeks which will keep me busy till right before I go to Texas to visit some friends and family I haven't seen in 2 years. And then when I get back on the 8th I'll have about a week of free time to unpack clean and put away my clothes before I start my new job. And knowing me it could very well take the full week to unpack, clean, and put away my clothes. :D

So what I am looking forward to most is a new job however I am also ecstatic about said trip to Texas. I get to go down on Thurs see my 4 nieces, 5 my great nephews and great nieces. My two sisters, possibly two brothers in law (depending on if one is one the road or not and what the others work sched is), and a partridge in a pear tree. Ok it's TX so probably no partridges but I could see pear trees if anyone has decided to plant them. I also get to see my mom and one of my closest childhood friends on Thursday night. Not to mention one of my bestest friends TC who has been so kind to offer to drive me around hither and thither while I'm down there as Alyssa (my SIL) is driving me as far as my sisters house before going to see her brother, SIL, niece, and newest family addition her nephew. Who at the time of publishing this has yet to be born. Then I get to see some friends from church and highschool on Friday stay with a friend Friday night. Do some of this and that on Saturday. Eat at all those places that they don't have where I live now. (come on, I'm a fatty of course my vacation is gonna include food.)
Generally it should be a great trip and I'm really really really looking forward to it.

Dream Job Blog Tour VII

So I completely miss a week and then I do that one and the current one back to back.

What is your dream job, and if you don't/didn't have it, how did that happen?

To be honest I had 3 dream jobs between first grade and my first year of college.

I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I wanted to be a teacher when I was in first grade. That is what I wanted to do. I'd have little craft kits and I'd set up my class room just so. I knew all this in 1st grade. I loved my teacher, she even went to my church so I ended up knowing her my entire school career (after a year of college I moved away and don't see her anymore). Said year in college was actually starting on my education degree. However shortly after taking some classes I realized it just wasn't for me and that I was out of my mind to think I'd make a good teacher. One of my best friends TC is a great teacher but she and I have near polar opposite personalities and mine just isn't the right one for teaching.

In 3rd grade I fell in love with marine biology. I loved (and do to this day) marine life. It amazes me. In fact I did a report on I think about 20 different marine animals completely voluntary. My teacher ended up grading it and even averaged that into my grade for the period I think. I was fascinated by it all. But the nitty gritty details I just didn't have the mind for.

My final dream job was to be a fashion designer. Oh goddess I love designing clothes however I do not have the skills needed for fashion design you know that little small skill known as drawing. It escapes my grasp. That and fashion is so hard to break into.

So what "dream job" do I want at this point in my life? I'd like to be an office manager some day. I think it'd be a good fit for me. I'm fair with co-workers and I'm good and keeping people flowing and on target I think without being an utter bitch about it all.

Blog Tour part V

So I've missed a couple or three topics for the Blog tour but I'm back. Did ya miss me? :)
This week is a simple one, what do I plan to do for my "summer vacation?" Well I don't really get a summer vacation cause I work all summer long but I do have travel plans so I'll share those. I'm going to go back to TX to visit friends and family I haven't seen since Benny and Alyssa got married in '06. That should be tons of fun. I'm really looking forward to it. Not the drive though so I'm trying to talk a couple of friends into going with me so we can share the driving time. Alyssa might come because her nephew is due around then and then my Demon w/ Boobs might come just because.

Either way I'm hoping someone does or I'm gonna be one tired puppy when I finally make it down there. It's a 10-12 hour drive depending on how fast I go and which way I go and traffic which might not be all that great considering I'm going home for the 4th of July weekend. Oh joy to me.

Then in October (which I know isn't tech summer but you get to hear about it anyway) my husband's school (in Cali) is having a reunion and wants to go and I really want to go with him but we'll have to check finances because later in the month I'm already planning on going to Vegas for TC's b-day celebration. Which should be a total blast. TC, Alyssa, and I are really looking forward to it. The last time the 3 of us went on a vacation together was in '00 when we went to Cali to meet Gehnen and Benny for the first time ever. Now we've done things together since but no actual vacations. So really looking forward to that.

And those are all my plans at least for the moment. Though I am sure we'll end up at the park a few days to BBQ or to play Nerf. And in May we are having Gehnen's b-day in the park with BBQ AND Nerf by special request. Which reminds me I need to let some people know the date.
