Moving forward and treading water....

Lately I've been feeling SO accomplished, yet I also feel like I've been standing still. It's not that I want to completely change my life (again) but I just want to have some more adventure.
So far this year....
-I've finished rebuilding a car motor
-I've started helping to rebuild another entire CAR - ground up.
-I'm moving to a place that will save me bunches of money...
-I'm saving money to pay off my insane credit card debt
-I've been doing well in management.

But I've been trying to take more photos and do a bit more travel and the like.
I'd like to save up enough to get a separate hard drive for my photos and my music.
I want to go to Chicago (possibly with my ladies.) For fun and photographs.

I just feel stalled. I can't even get my stuff packed because my roommate took up any and all extra room to put boxes. I cannot walk though my kitchen or my living room! It's like I'm just choking, No room to move freely.
My plan when I move is to keep my place clean and presentable at all times. Anyone who knows me, knows that I stink at housekeeping. I am also try to better my personal appearance...
I'm just trying to improve myself.. I know I can be better, so I am pushing myself a little harder... That is the only way to get results.

And to switch to absolute randomness... my mouse is dancing. I'm using my boyfriend's laptop computer and not using the mouse. I'm just sitting here innocently typing and the cursor just dances across my screen!

I hate being a girl....

I hate it.
In happier news, my niece had her baby and now I am a great-aunt!
I just saw pictures and little Tremaine is absolutely adorable!

Restless.....

Lately, I have been restless.... Maybe it's because of winter, maybe I'm sick of being in only one store, maybe it's because I'm starting to really feel the weight of bills.
Whatever it is, I'm not feeling the love at the Zone anymore.
The other day, I was helping a customer like I usually do, and he mentioned that I have great customer service skills and I may be a perfect fit for his company. He wanted to know if I would be interested and asked if his associate could call me and maybe set up an appointment. Since I wasn't sure if this was altogether on the level, I gave him the number at the store.
Surprisingly, a few days later, the lady actually called me back. We ended up playing phone tag for about a week. Today, I finally got a chance to talk to her and we set up a time to meet. Her company is having an open house next Tuesday, and I'll be there!
I've explained that I have to be at the Zone until at least mid-March to get the tenure requirement for the ASE certification. So I've got some hope for this new adventure....

Taxi!

Lately I've been feeling like a taxi, without the pay.
I'm constantly taking Sean to work or school or running errands. And with my truck's mileage dropping rapidly, it's driving me buggy. Rar!
Just one of those things that's been nagging at me, so I had to get it out.....

busy world....

Well, Just the other day I was told by my store manager that all of the planograms in the store are my responsibility and only mine, and also that I was doing a "piss-poor job" on them. How long will it take for her to realize that I'm not Jen? Jen can do those things in about half the time I can. But Jen is helping the Area Merchandiser so she's not in the store. I am not Jen!

Anyway, yesterday was my day off and it seems that is the day my body decided to be sick. Figures.
My entire body ached and I was coughing a lot. I also had a fever or 100 degrees. I took it easy and drank lots of water... I don't ache as much today, but I'm still going to try to take it easy at work and keep drinking water.

And my final dilemma is that I don't know when to file my taxes. I had to file something else for my 2005 taxes so that they don't levy my taxes to cover my ex-husband's debt. I want that to clear before I file this year, but I haven't gotten a clear answer from the IRS on how long that Form takes to go through their system. I called one 800- number, then another. The second number answered the questions I had. Then I went on the IRS site to get the form I need and it turns out that my circumstances deem that I fill out a slightly different form. So I wanted to call the IRS again to be sure that the different form had the same turnaround time, and they don't work with that form at that particular place. So, I got another 800-number but when I called this one there was no answer, not even a recording... OY! I just want to know if I can file for this year without it getting all screwed up...

It Started!!!!

Well, for the first time in almost six months the project Sunfire started!
Dale and I have been rebuilding this motor mostly as a learning experience and a trial of patience. It has been a lot of hard work and aggravation, but the end is now in sight.
I will be selling the thing in about a month or so, if anyone's interested.... hint, hint.
