June 12th changed my life completely. Not only did i total my beloved Rhonda (my car), and was forced into the clutches of adulthood, becoming independent (unbeknownst to me) when my car collided with that blue 1987 honda drive parallel to me, but it gave me an opportunity to sit for good long whiles in my chiropractors office reading countless magazines on how to live a more simplistic life, and also gave me the opportunity to know chiropractic lingo--words like "adjustments", "muscle stems", "ultrasound" and "biofreeze".

I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed myself while i sit in the late afternoons in his office sometimes for an hour or two. I have learned a lot! For one, I learned how to apply eye shadow to your eyes to give you that beautiful fall smokey look (and I can do it and it's fun), and have learned that feeding your cat or dog grapes, can lead to kidney failure, and dough make dogs lethargic when consumed.

I have also learned how to relieve stress and how to let your mind settle in those stressful time. I also have learned what bottled hair dye gives you the longest, best and most natural look (l'orel brands mostly). I have also learned where I can find the cheapest cosmetic products--most of them online--but I must say that I could buy all my makeup for about 35 dollars total on those sites, but currently am holding off on that because I have no money to spend on fun things like makeup or hair dye. For me even Wal-mart is too expensive!

i've learned things about breast cancer, and ways to reduce the risk of having. I have leanred how to slow the effects of aging, and were and tear on my hands, and what lotion I can use to keep my skin looking young and clear! Oil of Olay people, it works wonders for your skin! My mom has been telling me that for years, but I finally understand what she means!

But most importantly, I have learned how I can have a balanced weekly meal for less! I have been given great tips on how to save money on food, and get more than my money's worth. I often find myself indulging in these little treasure I find ever week while waiting that I am honestly upset when I'm came called back into the room of torchure, where I am ruthlessly adjusted for the sake of feeling much better after wards.

I'm pretty sure if I am there long enough I can everything I need to know about life sitting in that waiting room! I hope i am not there that long though. He tells me a few more weeks and I can be "released"

So my day started at 7:30 this morning, like every other day, and I was at the honda place by 10 that morning where they took my tinting off. It took them 1 hour and cost me nothing. I stayed there and sat in the waiting room with my GRE book and a t.v. so i got kill two birds with one stone and study while watching tv, which worked but not the extent that i would like. However, I found myself wanting to state my opinions of things like the health care reform and things like that, but I decided to remain quiet for the sake of not offending anything. I came to one conclusion about that: holding things in is not the same as just getting it out. I prefer just stating my opinions out loud, and it was really hard not to state anything that whole hour!

So after that frustrating experience, I went home sent my resume out through e-mail to this day care place down town, and called the court house like the police officer told me to. Well it turns out I didn't escape without paying anything. The fine was 154.75 dollars. I was ticked so i went down there and paid. I could have gone to court but 1.) I would have to pay a court fee that might possibly get waved if I defend my case well, but knowing me I feel like I can't handle anything rational right now, and 2.) I want to stay as far away from court as I can for oh...my whole life. So I payed the fine, and got it down with. NO more car problems!

So I was walking back to my car depressed and was like ,"Well since I'm down here, I might as well go to that day care place and see if they would want me to file out an application." So I went in and told them who I was and the woman was like, "OH! I was just going to call you! I am so glad you stopped in! Come in, Come in" Thus began my interview process and it lasted an hour! The position I am applying for is for a full time teacher for the 18 mon.-2 1/2 year olds. I told her that I didn't have an education degree and her response to that was, "Oh well that's fine if you are willing to take a class in teaching early childhood education. UTC has this class that will count for 18 credit. hours and it last for X amount of time and it's a tuesday/thursday class, that we would pay for." I was like heck yes! I am FINALLY being paid to go to school! Plus, early childhood education sounds like an interesting subject and I miss learning, so I told her I would want and I'd love to take the class. She told me it would be a 40 hour work week with a salary and benefits, and she wanted me to call her Monday with my schedule at the cupcake place so she could set up a time with me to be "observed" interacting with the children and the other teachers!

I left with my head spinning. It was so surreal! That was an actual job interview, and you know what? It was so natural. I just sat there and talked to her calmly, maturely, and confidently! It was like I was just sitting with a nice woman and just talking. When I left that is when my body went crazy, The whole ride back home was frantic and crazy. It was great. It sounds like this could be a really challenging job, but I want it, because it would be challenging and so much fun, plus I feel qualified, and feel really good about it! Please pray!

on another note, Smoothie King told me that they are still interviewing people and it should be next Tuesday that they will get back to me. So, we shall see what happens with both these places! I am waiting in expectation! God knows what I need and I told him after that interview, "God, it's all your thing. I am doing what I know I need to do, but after that it's all you." And I left it at that. I feel good about this.
