Back...

Life took some unexpected turns after my last entry.  I got fired.  I started a new career.  I'm going back to school.

Overall, I am not very satisfied with my life, but I am happier.  I love both of my jobs.  I have awesome coworkers.  I am getting better at beading and have made some very beautiful pieces lately.  I have a few orders lined up for custom pieces.  I think I should post some pictures on here eventually.

I am also in a flirtatious friendship with a coworker.  We both like each other, but we are just friends for right now.  He is a wonderful man and a total sweetheart.  I have never been happier than I am when we are talking.  Things are sometimes rough with him, but I am happy with our flirtatious friendship.

I am still working on losing weight.  I have tried to do a vlog on YouTube, but I need more structure to my life before I can commit to making that a regular thing.  My goal is to lose twenty pounds each semester this year for a total of forty pounds.  As of right now, that would get my weight into the 170's, back where I was when I started college.  By this time next year, I would like to be about 150.  It is a lot of weight to lose, but I believe I am up to the challenge.

I also am working on studying Spanish to move forward in my career.  Once I pass my fluency exam, I will be able to apply for licensure to get a full-time job with my company.  A full-time job means insurance for me and the means to move out of my parents' house.  I am dreaming of the day when I can set up my own apartment.  I have a complex picked out.
