Around the Bend...

Well, it's been a while since I last posted. Life has been really busy lately and I've had lots of new stuff to consider. As the post title indicates, my life is whirling around me, and I am anxiously awaiting what comes next.

I recently applied for a job position to a nearby office where I'll be making calls and conducting surveys. Well, I got the job and I just started last week. I was really excited at first. You know, I'd finally have some extra money, I'd be working, all that fun stuff, but it also has been really hard to adjust. I have had a really hard time going the past week. I wanted to stay home, and the work was pretty monotonous, but you know, I know I am going to adjust, and Mom and Dad keep telling me to wait until I finally get my first paycheck. I'm going to stick this one out, it's just going to take some adjusting. And, you know, when summer rolls around and I still am having a hard time, maybe I'll start looking again. Maybe I can be a lifeguard down at the pool. :)

I've watched lots of movies lately. :) Since we've been really busy as a family, we've tried to make it priority to make Friday nights movie night. We have a movie filter, which takes out language and all the stuff we don't want the younger girls to see, so we have Chasity watch a movie on her computer and Chanelle, Lauren and I watch the movie. We just finished watching the Bourne movies, so we're going to start on a new set of movies tonight.

I also had a really good idea for a book. What if an orginazation set out to take over the world, so they made a bomb ten times more powerful than an atom bomb, only instead of reaping destruction, it alters the brainwaves of the mind so whoever is affected no longer has free will or the ability to have an idea. But what if the bomb didn't affect you if you were like a very free thinker? So then there would be like this rebellion against the dictators who end up ruling the earth... an underground rebellion. :)

Well, that's all for now. The dishes are laying in the sinking crying "Wash me, wash me!" I'd better get going.
