Was to get the job I've been interviewing for....

And it looks like it's going to come true! I'll be working for an education company managing existing accounts and developing relationships with school districts and finding the right products for them. It's salaried and commission based which means way more money, flexibility, and it's a career I can see really growing.

The past year has been so amazing I feel like I haven't ever been this happy overall and its overwhelming to think about how much my life has changed this past year for the better.


I finally have my own place that I share with a wonderful man who I love very much, a new car, a new career, and the best family and friends.

I miss you all and can't wait to see you again soon!

I can't believe a year has passed already! It may be the best year of my life so far and I'm so happy and thankful.

I've been interviewing for a position in education sales with the leading publisher of education materials and after 5 interviews they are finalizing the recruitment process and checking my background and references! It's so exciting to move into a salaried position with so much room to grow and really feel I am embarking on a career path. While my position would be an account manager, consulting and selling to school districts- the company has a great leadership team and for this role I could move into curriculum development or even field sales.

My Christmas wish came true! In my personal life, everything feels so full and happy. I have amazing friends, a very sweet man that loves me and never forgets to express it, and the best mother and sister I could ask for. Throw in my brother, his gf and my nieces and I am completely ok if there is not one gift coming my way.

It's crazy to reflect on the past year and how much has changed... It's been an amazing year and I can't wait to create more memories with everyone I love this year! Plus I'll be getting a nice raise and that means more opportunity for travel and vacations!


Miss you all and love you peeps!

My lover and I finally found a place and we couldn't be happier. It's the cutest apartment and everything has been remodeled very nicely. I'll post photos next week... I'm super excited the rent included utilities because the electric can run high wih all the heat.

We were denied at a not so nice place and approved at a really nice place? I wanna go back to the first place we tried to rent and tell the leading agent he is an idiot.


I also have an interview for a career working for an education company which would be so cool. Normally sales isn't my thing, however I realized it's pretty much what I do all day- saving the business of upset customers. My numbers are really good and I figure I can definitely sell educational products because it's what I know. The salary is waaaay better and with commission I could finally start establishing myself financially. Even if it doesn't work out- my applications and resume are actually getting viewed and that feels good.


The rules at my company are insanely strict and unreasonable. For instance, as of December 24th- any punch one minute late or more counts as a partial absence. Really? This is not the military. This really makes me so angry when I know that a coworker on my team got away with calling his cell phone and leaving his desk for hours at a time- he would call his cell so he could t get any inbound calls but his status showed ready so it seemed like he was working. So- he gets paid for pretty much doing nothing but I will possibly get fired for a few one minute late punch ins????

The amount which I care is enough to realize that people calling in need help and I really care about my customers. I care nothing for the company and its terrible management and lack of sound decision making. I can't wait to find a new job and put in my notice.

The worst part is that my boss told me he wanted to fire this guy but his boss and HR said no! So, now I have this secret that I can't share with anyone else sitting their actually working all day... I'm sure there's all sorts of things I could get away with but I just don't care.

One of our company mottos is- "do the right thing". Maybe I should call my cell phone today and take a little time for myself?

Just us babies!

The past year has flown by so quickly, and I feel lucky to have spent the majority of it being so happy and content. It's amazing to have someone by my side to share it all- I completely forgot what it's like to have a partner and I became so used to being alone. At first it was really difficult to find compromise and I was scared to really be myself.

Love is definitely the best gift you can be given- it's so hard to find. To have an amazing and crazy family and friends was already a blessing. Meeting Bobby has changed everything and while I used to be the skeptical one, now I'm the sappy person in love.

Can't wait to come back to Buffalo and show him all the summer fun stuff and Toronto!

Apparently a frigid cold is about to sweep the northeast, stay warm peeps!
