so it's been a busy week.

i know it's been a while since i've blogged. since Jacob lost his job, I've been trying to pick up more hours at work. the result: i'm exhausted.

i also know that several people won't read my blogs because of my poor use of punctuation. as a former english major, and one who has a passion for writing: believe me, if i could, i would fix it. however, my laptop's keys SUCK. i am often hitting backspace because the "A" key doesn't hit. like in my title on today's blog....i had to hit the same key 3 times before it actually registered on the screen. so...if you have anyway of advising me to clean them, please let me know. otherwise, i only have the patience to hit backspace once per word....not more than that. sorry.

anyway....

i have been working lots. it has helped me to see that not only do i not want to work retail past March, but it has lit a fire under my butt. i have finished my resume, and sent it into Rosetta Stone. I'm only hoping, but i have little to no expectations. It would definitely be nice to be making twice what i am now and working the same amount...i know that we could definitely use the money.

so..i'm in the process of planning a Valentines Banquet....Dinner and a movie. it's a lot, but it's for our church. trying to plan food and everything....it's overwhelming. it's my first time heading something like this up...and i'm not feeling very confident. i'm feeling very, scared i think would be a good word.

i'm also in the midst of reading The Shack. it's a good book, but i'm having a hard time getting through it.

With me working more, and Jacob not working at all (still waiting for sheetz to call....), he has REALLY stepped up and started taking on more around the house...for which i am grateful! he cleans the dishes and cooks dinner, and if i ask him to, he'll fold laundry and put it away! he's soo wonderful!!

as a result, i get home, eat dinner, and i'm so wiped out i fall asleep after working on my resume or job hunting or whatever i was working on. i'm usually out by 10 or 10:30. Man! i feel OLD!

anyway...i'll try to blog some more later!
