Somedays I Miss College..

The year after graduation they start RAVEs in Mitchell Memorial. Hate I missed it.

However, I do NOT miss final exams!!

To Be, or Not to Be..

Have you ever been extraordinarily confused?

And I'm not just talking a little confused, I am talking a "do not know what in the world you are going to do" kind of confused?

Well, welcome to my life! I never once in my life thought I would end up right here in such a state of confusion. I have no earthly idea what I am going to do with my life!

To go to grad school, to not go to grad school...

To get a second degree/and or minor, or not to get a second degree/and or minor...

To get a full-time job or go back to school...

I think you are getting the idea. I'm really confused and maybe I should get YOUR opinion! Yes, this is correct! I don't ask very often but now is your chance to help me out!

If you were to ask me four years ago what I wanted to do with my life, this is what I would tell you:

graduate with a degree in Accounting, get my masters(which takes approximately one year), and apply to law school.

Ha. It's funny how quickly things change. I am now graduated with a degree in Insurance, Risk Management, and Financial Planning in which I currently cannot seem to do much with.

With the school semester currently coming to an end, and me now being jobless for approximately four(almost five) full months, I am beginning to wonder whether or not I should just go back to school while I still have the opportunity.

I have considered waiting the job market out through the end of the month but here is the deal...apparently, within the "real world" all that matters is experience. Hahahaha, everyone seems to say that but my ten years retail sales experience has gotten me absolutely NOWHERE except a job offer from Nordstrom. Insurance sales is considered "outside sales" experience and retail is considered "inside sales." Therefore, making my retail experience of no use.

I guess where I am going with this statement, is it more worthwhile to take an "okay" job and hope that the experience will get you somewhere in the future?

Or should I get a second degree, or a minor, or go to grad school instead? Which is more beneficial?

Where would I go to school? Ole Miss? Alabama? Not Mississippi State?

Would I double major in Marketing or Accounting? I only lack a few classes for an accounting minor, am I stupid not to pursue it? I can surely do more with an accounting degree than an insurance degree..but is it worth spending another year or two in school?

I think you see my dilemma. I have some big decisions to make and not much time to make them.

Did That Really Just Happen?

First things first,

Roll Tide Roll!

I have proudly worn my houndstooth all day! I absolutely cannot wait until the Rose Bowl!

And now on to more important topics,

I found EVERY ONE of my Christmas ornaments that have been missing since the end of November, and you will NEVER guess where I found them.....

They are on my parent's Christmas tree.

They have someone come and decorate our house every year for Christmas, and apparently this year he was uninformed on which decorations were mine, and which were my parents.

Enough said I guess.

But no worries, I undecorated their tree and quickly to my tree they went!!!!

I'm sure my mother was thrilled to hear that her Christmas tree was decorated with Dollar General Christmas ornaments hahahahahaha!!! None-the-less, their tree is beautiful reguardless of where the ornaments originated..

Just glad to have mine fully decorated! Maybe she won't notice anything missing from hers....

It Just Doesn't Get Much Better Than This..

Sweet, sweet Sophie sound asleep

I am currently sitting in the recliner, snuggled up with my down comforter and my sweet, sweet little Sophie while watching the SNOW fall down outside, listening to Christmas music and drinking a little Christmas cheer :) It's been snowing for a few hours now and it is gorgeous!! It has just started to stick, maybe it will stick around for awhile! Sophie and I played in the snow earlier tonight and I think that she really enjoyed it! She is now sound asleep in my lap; she is absolutely PRECIOUS!! Here are a few pics! Enjoy!!

Word Just In..

60% chance of SNOW tomorrow night!!

YAY YAY YAY!!

News Flash, News Flash..

Just wanted to let you know that there is

a 45% chance of SNOW tomorrow night in MISSISSIPPI!!!!

For those of you who are unaware, this is a BIG deal!

Still dreaming of a white Christmas..

A Little Here, A Little There..

First things first..

I really don't care for this new blog header but I just cannot seem to make one that I really like. I'll keep playing around with it until I can find something that I decently like. Onto bigger and better things..

I have been quite a busy bee since the last time I blogged. I have been on quite a cleaning streak lately(read below) and I have also got quite a bit of Christmas shopping done! Now for those of you who don't know me very well, this is a VERY big deal. I am your absolute best example of a last minute shopper..but not this year! Not to mention, I even ordered Sophie a sweet little Christmas sweater today! I will post pics as soon as it comes in! I bet you didn't hear the latest news in Meridian???? There is a chance for SNOW FLURRIES on Friday night, and it is only November! Hopefully we will get some sort of a winter snow this year! Tonight, my family and I had a "late" Thanksgiving dinner with my dad's aunt and uncle. It was great getting to see them, I haven't seen them in quite some time. I hope that I am in as good of shape as they are when I reach their age. My great aunt is absolutely hilarious, and my great uncle is still just as business smart as he has ever been.

I have quite a few projects that I am currently working on. Last year, I made my mom and dad each a calendar for Christmas. They are both so hard to shop for and I was completely out of ideas. I have a website that I use online, and all that I do is design each page (which takes forever), put together the layout, and have it printed and shipped to my front door. Simple enough I guess. Needless to say, it was such a hit last year that I'm doing it again. So I have spent quite a bit of time on my computer lately trying to put these together (and shhh...it's all a secret!). Hopefully I can finish them sometime this week. Last year, I was late getting them together, rushed them in for Christmas, and they cost waay more than I ever imaged a calendar would! Thank goodness this year I have started early, and I even got an e-mail today stating that I get FREE shipping!!! I know this doesn't mean much to you but when the shipping costs are more than the calendar, it means quite a bit!

Have I completely lost my mind??

Apparently, it has been gone for quite some time now! You wouldn't believe what I have been doing over the past two days..I have been on quite a cleaning streak. Now I haven't been on just any clean streak....

I have literally cleaned baseboards, cabinets and what not, I cleaned my car inside and out, cleaned my room, cleaned my closet, and I even cleaned out all of my drawers...AGAIN!

Yes my friends, this is what unemployment will do to you. Not only did I clean out all of my drawers, closet, cabinets, etc. two months ago when I thought I was moving, but I have cleaned them out a second time over the past few days! I even considered re-painting the baseboards! I think unemployment has most definitely reached a new high. If only Santa could bring me a job..

Now for those of you who know me, I am an extraordinarily clean person, but I'm afraid this has reached a new high. Lauren (my roomie from last year) would have come up with a better nickname than just Merry Maids for me by now if we still lived together..

Until tomorrow.
