Been Too Long!


Wow, how can I compare how I am feeling at this moment in time. To capture the feeling of my soul and my heart is impossible to describe with words.

I am not getting married and I have not won the millionaire lottery. But for how things have been going this last year, 2009seems to already be getting better.

Let me explain. Today for one is the first Friday night that I do not have to work at the Ice Rink. I am able to do with my Friday night what I will. I had a spa appointment that I think will go amazing. And I got a new job today. Although it won't start until April, I am so excited. I have been looking for something for about 2 months and with the way things have been in the economy I wasn't sure that I would find anything.

I am going to working at a Nursery about 15 minutes away from my home. It is a physical job but I think that it will help me to continue to work hard and not learn to slack. Like how it is at the Wave Pool.

It seems to me that I have started to get lucky when it comes to sitting in the Mall Food Court these days. The last time I was sitting alone in that food court, I met a very warm and gentle old man who I had a very nice conversation. And today while eating my salad, I was approached by a women wanting to talk to me. As always, I was a little skeptical because normally that means they want me to buy something that I did not want. But I said sure because the only thing that I was really doing was organizing my purse. So I put that away. And she started to sell me a promotion that was happening in my town. So I listened and thought that it would be a very nice mother's day gift. So mom, don't ask me because I know I would have to tell you because it is just too exciting.

The only thing that made me nervous was that it was in a mall, and they were talking about something for a different company that was not within the mall itself. So after askign some questions and getting her business card. I accepted the offer. Even with all the alarms that this might possibly be a scam. But when it came down to it WOW! I called up the company after the women had left... but I was still able to see her. So if there was something wrong, I would be able to go to her and confront her. I asked the lady on the phone about the promotion and if it was true. Or if I was just scammed. And I found out that it was true. So I got a $250 deal for the price of $50! Ya that is right. I couldn't believe it either. But when it came down to it WOW!

Then just after that, I received a call from Amanda Steward, who did my interview earlier in the week. And she went on to say that I carried myself very well, and I answered her questions thoroughly and very well. And that she would love to offer me the position at Van Belle as a label assistant! WAY to go me! That has been the first job where I had to be interviewed and it worked! The other times it didn't work out but this one did!

I get to go to out with my friend who I have not seen in months and months due to her going to UBC and me staying in Abbotsford. So who knows what we will do but I am just super excited how this day went.

I hope that it will continue to be amazing!
