So my birthday has come and gone...

I actually slept most of the day as my original plans fell through, but I am not upset because it was no one's fault. Now the Christmas season can officially began and I can go back to spoiling everyone else.

I have to go to the doctor tomorrow and I am going to find out how much more weight that I have gained :( I am going to get asked for referrals for the ENT doc and nutritionist though. My new motto is no problems without solutions.

I applied for two jobs and started applying for another, so hopefully I will get a call back. I am serious about getting a new job, because I don't like not wanting to go to work. I'm freezing so I am abt to snuggle in my bed. Tomorrow is another big day!

Welcome to my late twenties...

Happy 27th Birthday to me. I created this blog a month or ago but decided not to post in it until I was ready. And what time could be more appropriate than my induction into my late twenties...AKA my 27th birthday.

Ten years ago...let's go back further to fifteen years ago when I was in the eighth grader, I thought that my life would be way different than it is now. At that point I think I may have wanted to be a doctor or lawyer and probably thought that I would be married with kids by now. The age of thirty seemed like the cousin to retirement to me at that point. The age of thirty is closer than ever now and I have come to the realization that I have just started living.

I've decided to take the advice of everyone that GOD sends my direction and start writing again., EVERYDAY!!! It's probably one of the hardest things that I will ever do, but if one more person asks me when the book is coming out, I might cry. SO...it's coming, very soon.

I'm also going to apply to graduate school to earn my MFA in Creative Writing because teaching is what I really love to do. I am thankful for this seven year hiatus between under grad and grad because it has shown me what I DON'T want to do and that is work JUST to get a paycheck.

Last but not least, I am going to put a leash, muzzle or harness, maybe all three, on my health. I have been blessed to have a wonderful support system who is committed to my health, so I am going to meet them the rest of the way. I believe that everything happens for a reason as long as you are open to seeing the reason.

Most importantly, I am going to strengthen my bond with the author and finisher of my faith. Everything that I want in my life can happen, but with GOD on my side it WILL happen.

I'm not sure what, if anything, my loved ones have planned for my birthday tomorrow. I do know that I am extremely thankful to have lived to see 27 and am excited to see what my 27th year of life has in store.
