Welcome to my world :)

So, I love to write. I do it everywhere. With my new job, I sometimes feel like not everyone knows what is going on with me because I don't see people as much as I once did. I do a horrible job of calling everyone I should and I do an even worse job of actually seeing people face to face. So I am going to try this. Everyone is invited.... friends and family... no account is required to view it, no passwords needed to leave a comment on a post... nothing. Just stop by and read away. At least this way, you all can know that I am still alive and what I am up to. Then, when I finally stop to call or manage to stop by and see you guys face to face it won't "feel" like forever since you have heard from me. Is it cheating? Maybe... But hey, I enjoy writing and I will feel better about communicating with everyone.

So for now, let me say this... I am alive... I am working like crazy... I am still trying to keep up with my karate although I have not been going as regularly as I should purely as a result of the distance required to drive from work to the studio. Between gas prices and pure exhaustion from work, I just don't make it as regularly as I should. I spend most of my weekday nights - what is left of them after work - spending time with Nick (for those of you who I really have not talked to in forever... he is this really wonderful guy I have been dating for about 8 months now... I am sure you will hear more about him in the future), and my weekends are usually spent with Breighton.

Since I finished school in December, I really don't feel like I have more "time"... I simply feel like my brain is under-utilized. I am still contemplating going back to graduate school, though I must say that the impending bill for my current student loans is enough to convince me to never go back to school because I already owe so much money. I have been contemplating applying for the new UNT Law School that is supposed to open in 2010 in Dallas. It's one of those dreams I had from the time I was very young and somewhere along the way I convinced myself it was out of my reach. Then suddenly its back in my reach - mostly as a result of this public law school opening right here near me. I don't know if it is really feasible for me to do that - cost and time being a big factor - but it is definitely something for me to consider. Otherwise, it is the stereotypical MBA program.

Breighton is now 3/4 of the way through 2nd grade and continues to grow smarter and smarter everyday. Oh, and he continues to turn more into a BOY everyday! He is still a video game junkie and I still can't seem to drag him outdoors to ride a bike or play a sport but he is definitely FULL of knowledge. He has decided he doesn't like reading - something I am fighting tooth and nail - and so I have resorted to buying joke books and question and answer books about nature, the body, etc because he will sit and read those for awhile. The Q&A books are nice because he shares info with me - which in turn makes me smarter. The joke book... well I am consumed with silly little knock-knock jokes... He especially loves jokes that have to do with burping, farting, falling on your face, etc. I just try to find ways to harness as much of his talents as I can. Right now it seems we both have the most fun simply being in the same room with each other. He doesn't really seem to care if we actually "DO" anything. Ugh...

Well, check back often... Click on the link below each post that says "comments" and leave me a comment. If you don't have a blogger account, comment as "anonymous" but make sure to sign your name (first name is fine) on the comment so I know who you are!! I will NOT be emailing out when I update because I don't want to be all "look at me, look at me!" so you will just have to bookmark this site and check back every so often. If you go for awhile without checking, make sure you scroll through them all and catch up on what you missed. I am going to make a commitment to post at LEAST once a week. But maybe you will luck out and and I will write more often. I don't know how interesting the post will be every week, but I will try to at least say something. My life can not POSSIBLY be so boring that I can't find something to write about!

Oh Mom, Yea Jenifer I do know that you are aware that I have a blog, heh. It cool the you finally got a blogger account! I really love it. Also their is a way to set up your home page so it can automatically lets you know when some one updates their blog. I'd be lost with out it. It's something you do through google reader. You have to make www.google.com/ig as your home page. then add google reader to it. I have your blog and and various others on it. I fixed mom up on it. Just thought you'd be interested :) Oh and thanx for the update, I want to go up there this summer, I'm trying to pull some friends together to go to Six Flags, I'll call you if I do.
