| Well I have not submitted a post on xanga since 2004!! A lot has happened in my life since that time. I will not go into all of the things that have happen because it would take to long. I will say that I have enjoyed reading people's thoughts and comments on their sites and it made me want to be apart of xanga again. I had so much fun reading about everyone and seeing how everyone is doing. It was exciting!
Well since 2004 I have:
- Graduated from ORU with my bachelor's in Social work
- Moved 4 times (all within Tulsa)
- Had three different jobs
- social service corrdinator at a nursing home (6 months)
- social worker at a hospice (1 year)
- social worker for an international adoption agecny for Guatemala (currently job)
- Graduated from OU with my Master's in social work 2006
- Got engaged in March 2006
- Married in June 2006 (to a friend from ORU - Adam Dawson)
- Said Good-bye to a wonderful and amazing friend (dec 2006)
- Husband graduated from college in 2006
- Brother got married in May 2006 (one month before me)
- There are more things but I think that is enough updating for now.
Life has been very busy and very fast pased for me right now. I have been married for a month and I still can't believe it. Adam and I are going home this weekend for the 4th to celebrate the 4th with my family and have a wedding reception for us. We are excited. It is going to be a really fast trip, but it will be good to see some of my family that was not able to come down to Tulsa for the wedding.
Those are all of the changes and updates that have happened in my life over the past 2 years. I will try to keep updating my site... we'll just have to see how that goes.
Hope to talk to you all soon | | |
| Here is a question for friends. I need an honest opinion here. I am
getting into a sticky situation here. I have never had something like
this happen before... But I haven't had a boyfriend in six years also.
As you all know my boyfriend lives here in town. I currently do not
have an official job... I need to know a few things. First of all
how do you remain balanced in a relationship with a boyfriend you enjoy
spending time with, and you are with him all the time. I know I should
spend less time with him, but my roommates don't really ask me to do
things. They just sit around the house and do nothing. I have been in
the house all day - I don't want to be there again. I don't have many
other friends to spend time with, expect for the people at my new
church, but they are all married. How do you stay balanced and have a
God centered relationship? I think that I am to stuck in the middle of
the situation and cannot look objectively from the outside. This may be
to confusing to understand all of the dynamics. But I just need some
friendship advice of what to do... Do I need to reevaluate my judgment
and values, and it is time to raise the bar of my relationship before
it goes south? Please don't worry about hurting my feelings... I need
some advice! Moral advice soon! | | |
| Today I went to a Mary Kay training session for three hours this morning. They broke down the skin care classes that I will be teaching. It was very interesting and educational. I finally feel like I can go and teach a skin care class now. I have not felt this way since I started my business. I think that I will really like selling Mary Kay. The people in the business are so friendly, helpful, encouraging, and nice. I would recommend anyone that is looking for a full time job to look into selling Mary Kay... I definitely think that I am going to make more money selling Mary Kay than being a social worker and I believe I will have more fun doing it. Everyone should get on the Internet and find out who their closest Mary Kay Rep is and give them a call. It is so much fun and everyone woman would love doing it. I am convinced. | | |
| Well since I did not have to work this week, at least not like I had planned on doing! I decided to spend all of my time doing nothing and hanging out with my boyfriend. We had a lot of fun, but reality is starting to hit me. I need to find a job. Yesterday I was praying about what I should do, and I remembered that I have tons of Mary Kay upstairs in my room. So I called my Mary Kay Senior Sales Director and she informed me that they are having a Training meeting Saturday morning. It is a boot camp for all beginning Sales Consultants. They only hold one meeting a month... So tomorrow morning I am going to finally start my Mary Kay Career. I think that I am going to try to sell Mary Kay full time and then decide if I still want another job. Tomorrow could be the start of something huge. I will let you know what happens tomorrow. I am actually excited about it. | | |
| This will be my second official entry into the "Xanga World". I will
start off with some current events into Katie's life! I have been job
searching since the middle of August... I was able to find an
incredible
job with a hospice (just in case you are wondering I graduated with a
degree in social work). However, this great job that I found the
beginning of September has not begun yet.... I refer to it as my
"imaginary job" It is great - I don't do anything, don't get paid but I
have a job. Well, the imaginary job wasn't working out to great for me
so I decided to keep looking for other jobs. My friend from one of my
social work classes called me and told me her office was hiring social
workers. I went and applied at the nursing home she worked at. Well the
same day she told me she was leaving the nursing home for another job.
So in my interview they offered me her job because she was going to be
leaving. I said I was interested in the job. They call me back the next
week and ask if I was still interested in the job, I said yes... Well
then my friend said not to take the job because she wants to work there
part-time, the nursing home said they are only hiring a full time
position! This confusion continues for three weeks. Finally they call
me back and ask if I want the job, it would be full time, and I am
their first and best option etc (they really did say that too)... I say
yes, they call me back and give me the job. I was on my way to my first
day of work, I checked the answering machine because it was blinking.
My boss wants me to call
her, I contemplate calling her, but decide to give her a call before i
leave for work. She might want to remind me to bring something, i was
not sure... and she said that she is giving the job back
to my friend! THEY CALLED THIS MORNING AND TOLD ME THAT THEY GAVE MY
JOB AWAY TO MY FRIEND! I was shocked! I didn't know what to say. They
tried to offer me some other crazy job at the nursing home, but I
declined and said "thank you but no thank you"!" So I have decided that
when it comes to searching for jobs that it is best to not tell anyone
that you are employed until at least the second week of employment.
However, the good news is that I am still employed at the hospice, AKA
"the imaginary job"
