Gas, Ass, or Grass No One Rides for Free

I understand the country is in a crisis over the Hurricane but has anyone seriously taken a look at the price of gas. I thought this whole war business was for "weapons of mass destruction" (aka oil). The price of gas is suppose to be lower now! Apparently president Bush is going to release some of our oil reserves to help keep the cost down. Down to what $11 a gallon. I seriously drove by a gas station today that was selling gas for $3.14 a gallon!!!! When I got my license gas was only $1.25. (again with the old lady bit) However, the president was going to do a lot of things and what good has he actually done? At the same time I can't complain too much I wasted my vote on him. Don't get me wrong the hurricane is a big deal and it really is tragic but so is the hit my wallet is taking. We have done so much for other countries I'm curious to see what they will do for us.

And Sometimes I'm an 80 year old woman

So I went to my first day at my new job. I'm pretty excited about the possibility of not coming home mentally drained everyday. I have two clients both of which are boys. I think working with a male population will be a refreshing change. I think the most exciting part of my first day was I got a planner to track my clients. Which happens to be odd since I have currently misplaced my planner. That's how busy I've been that I missed placed the most important part of my social life and didn't realize it until today. After searching for sometime I realized I left it at my old job. Soo tomorrow when I go to work one of my very last shifts there I will rescue it.
After my exciting day of new planners and old planners I met up with the Robbster. For those of you who don't know the Robbster she is my best friend that helped me survive college. I'm sure she wanted to kill me at some points too. But I digress.... We went and grabbed some dinner and talked about the chaos that we call life. I literally mean chaos because I have no planner and Robin has a "stalker situation" (but not really). At dinner I realized I am in fact an old woman living in the body of a very run down 22 year old. I caught myself talking about how I got a perfectly good 10lb bag of potatoes for only 88 cents. Who does that? Old people that's who! Not to mention that after the discussion about how buying in bulk really saves during a sale I went on to discuss my health problems. AARP Here I come! But the whole experience was made much better when I inadvertently called our waiter a JERKUS. Robin was telling me a story about someone being rude to her and the waiter came to clear our plates mid-sentence and I was thanks (to the waiter) and then I said Jerkus (to Robin about her story). But all the waiter heard was "Thanks Jerkus." So I explained he was not a jerkus and I think he understood.
It's really good to catch up with old friends because unfortunately in between the madness people get lost. It's never that we mean to lose touch it just happens. Then months and years later you see these people and you're like "Hey" and they're like "Hey" and it's never the same. You'll never get back to that time when 88 cent potatoes and scrapbooking were routine.

And So It Begins

The main purpose of this blog is not only to be cool like everyone else but to keep you all informed of what I've been up to. Life comes at you so fast it's hard to keep everyone up to speed. I will try to keep this as up to date as possible but I must fore warn you that I reserve the right to completely forget about this blog and give up like most of the crazy projects I start.
After graduation I moved into my very own home. (I never thought I could say that) I always knew at some point in my life I would move out of my parents house and have an apt or something of my own. However, I couldn't imagine in my wildest dreams moving straight into something of my very own. I'm currently living with Anthony and our cat. I also couldn't have imagined finding a man who was willing to put up with my craziness 24 hours a day. Now it all seems so natural. With all of these feelings comes the sense that I am getting old......
Up until recently I was employed with Child and Family Services of Newport. However, living in CT and commuting an hour and half (each way) to work isn't all that practical. (Especially since gas cost an arm and a leg. Some good that war did) Finding a job after college isn't all it's cracked up to be. I was informed that once I received a college degree about 900 employers would be knocking at my door. THAT WAS A LIE. Everyone even remotely close to my house wants me to have a Master's Degree. (I'M WORKING ON IT PEOPLE) Sooo long story short I start my new job in West Warwick (RI) in a few short days. I guess I should be happy I'm working in my field and not at Target. (which was looking very promising might I add) I just hope this new job isn't as draining as the old one.
Going back to school seems like the logical thing to do now. I've been taking summer classes and consuming my entire life with getting an education. I pretty much plan on going to school forever. I know what I want to do but even that changes on a daily basis. I always thought getting older was were it was it at. Now that I have reached that point in my life where I can say I have aged enough to have wisdom about some life lessons.........I can honestly say that I will never truly know where my life will take me. I can however say who I would like to take with me.......
