So I decided around the first of the year that there are some personality traits I should work on, because despite what many people may think I would like to be as likable as possible. So here is a list of things I am working on.
1. Not being impatient. Over the years I have turned into a crotchety young woman and that is probably not the most desirable trait I could possess. I mean at 25 if I'm already this impatient I image it will only get worse and worse to the point of being completely out of control. Don't get me wrong my impatience has served me well to a degree. For example my impatience has probably saved me $10's of $20's of dollars over the years because I don't like waiting in line. On the other hand I get very angry when I have to wait because I hate waiting and that is just annoying. This brings me to my next item.
2. Not being so angry. I mean really what do I have to be angry about? I just get frustrated and get angry very easily. It's all because I am so high strung. I mean seriously if I keep this up I'm going to have a heart attack at 26. For example I was having a really bad day yesterday so I went to Costco to get a cup of their $1.39 frozen yogurt. I walked through the store ate a shrimp scampi sample and made my way to the food counter. There was some weird old guy getting about a million cups of frozen yogurt to go so by the time I got mine the machine was all hot so the yogurt came out soupy. I was very disappointed with this but I took my yogurt. When I got to my car I realized I was extremely disappointed with this and very angry because nothing was going my way so I threw my yogurt out of the car window. I'm telling you I am very worried about this anger thing. Suggestions are welcome.
And that's it. I have nothing else on my list. I think these are two very large items to work on so my personal and professional opinion is that it is best to limit the amount of change I inflict upon myself at one time.

On a Serious Note
Ok folks I'm going to get a bit serious on this blog. I was driving around today and trying to decide what I wanted to write about and I kept coming back to the current state of our countries' economy and the stimulus package that went to the Senate today. I am sure for most of you out there this blog will do one of two things A. bore you to death or B. piss you off, but I don't care.
What the crap is going on in Washington? $780 BILLION stimulus plan (SP) are you kidding me? Am I the only person that realizes this money has to come from some where? I know that here in the good ole US of A we tend to think if we just print more money then all of our problems are solved, but I am here to tell you that unless there is something to back the money up it is hold on get this only PAPER. Please don't get me wrong I more than anyone would benefit from the stimulus package. I for one have no job which means I have no income so "free" money would be marvelous. However, the problem with that mentality is that it makes no sense as their is not such thing as "free" money especially when it comes from the government. I would like to ask everyone that supports this plan where exactly do they think this money is going to come from? Where do you think the government gets money? Oh yeah they get it from the people.
Let's actually look at this package and the whole process for a moment shall we. Step 1. The SP was only voted for by House Democrats. Crazy, no? I'm not blind enough to think that was pure party line voting after the Presidential election, but isn't it interesting that only the Democrats approved spending $819 BILLION for things like oh I don't know resodding the National Mall. Please don't respond with any crap about creating jobs, because I have a whole nother argument about that and please please do not reference FDR if you know anything about anything you would know the well-fare state he created was a failure and the countries' economy was only saved by WWII. 2. "is full of pet projects. When was the last time that we saw a bill of this magnitude move out with no earmarks in it? Not one." - Barack Obama
Am I the only one that thinks this mentality is crazy. I'm sorry President Obama if everyone else jumps off a bridge are you going to follow them? 3. Current estimate for 2009 deficit = $1.19 Trillion without the SP! Enough said!!!
I get the implications of not passing the stimulus package. I am obviously not stupid enough to go on record as not supporting the SP if I haven't researched both sides. Clearly the easy choice is to support it, but the easy choice is what got us into this mess so maybe it is time we man up and take responsibility for our actions. Here is a thought maybe we should lay off a few US Representatives, Senators, Cabinet members, Justices, Judges, and Magistrates. Oh and for that matter maybe we can ask the President and the VP to take a salary cut. http://dcjobsource.com/presidentialsalaries.html

Here's the Deal
I should be studying for the two tests that I have tomorrow, but my adderall does not appear to be working so I am doing everything but studying. Come to think of it my adderall hasn't been working a lot lately I should get that checked out. Let's see lots to talk about. Since I last posted I got engaged almost a year ago to this guy we are getting in married on May 2nd so yay for me, I'm back in school hence the studying or lack there of, I am moving to Atlanta in May with said guy, I am now the mother of two count them two Boykin Spaniels (if you don't know what a Boykin Spaniel is google Boykin Spaniel Puppies and you will find a visual treat) one dog is 7 1/2 her name is Annie aka Poopface/Browndog/Showgie/The Enforcer and our other dog will be a year in March his name is Mr. Belvedere. Michael, the finace, and I took him in back in December. Mr. B needs some new hips and we are seeing him through that process, and what a detailed process it is but he is worth at least that is what I tell myself.
The question everyone asks every time they see me is "how is the wedding planning go" and "are you excited for the wedding". To answer everyones questions the planning is coming along I have a lot done and a lot more to do and no i'm not really that excited. Just kidding of course I'm excited I just find that question completely ridiculous. I mean seriously who wouldn't be excited? If you aren't excited you should maybe rethink the life changing decision you are about to make. I mean I am no genious here but I think you may be making the wrong decision.
What else is going on. I have no job therefore I have no money and just yesterday was contemplating being a webcam model for $60 an hour, but thankfully received two emails from people that seem remotely interested in highing me. What for you ask? I don't really remember. I've applied for a lot of jobs over the past few weeks and to be honest I don't really care as long as they pay me in US dollars. Let's hope they some how come across my blog and read this paragraph I'm sure I'll get hired. If they do I'm going to say someone logged on as me I mean clearly I am not that into blogging hence the almost 15 month lapse between posts. To make my money situation worse I had to pay the City of Charleston $250 b/c I don't like to pay my parking tickets. I'm sorry I'm a student at the College of Charleston I'm already paying like $6k a year I think I should get to park for free and this is why. When I received my tickets I was either attending class or in the library studying. By attending class regularly and studying reguarly I am ensuring that I get good grades and graduate with a high gpa. When I graduate with a high gpa that makes the College of Charleston look appealing to future students not only because clearly smart people go there but because my high gpa will make more marketable to companies when it comes time to applying for a real job. So what does this tell future students that smart people go to CofC and people that go to CofC get hired when they graduate so these future students will decide to come to CofC. When they come to CofC they will naturally spend money at local business in turn stimulating the local economy and in these tough times we could all use a little stimulation. I think this makes perfect since and the city is stupid and Clemson Sucks!
That's it for now back to "studying". Hugs and Kisses
