A Little of This, A Little of That

I was a little sad this morning after watching the news. But I guess that’s why I don’t watch the news, it always makes me sad.

They had specials about the mudslides in California and the relief efforts for the people devastated by the tsunami. I try not to think too hard about natural disasters because look where I live. I’m down here at the tip of a peninsula, surrounded on 3 sides by the ocean, just 15 minutes away from the shore.

But anyway…I don’t want to depress myself so let me not depress you. I’ve been having so much fun. I’m enjoying life and being extremely thankful for the little things, like my Mama who keeps my kids for me while I work two jobs. My schedule is crazy. I work this temp job that I absolutely LOVE from 9-5 and then I work my customer service job from 7pm until midnight. I love my customer service job too. When I answer the phone I say, “Thank you for calling ——, Ciara speaking. How may I help you?”

Yep, I changed my name to Ciara when I’m on the phones. Why? Cuz I got moves like that. Naw, I’m just playing. Really, I hate to keep having to tell people my name. My name is so unusual that when people hear it, they always ask me to repeat it and then to spell it.

“Hi, I’m —–.”

“Excuse me. What did you say your name was?”

“It’s ——-.”

“Reaallly? How did you get a name like that?”

“My mother was very young when she had me.”

“Oh,” raucous laughter. “That explains it! But it’s pretty. Very unique.”

“Mmm, hmm.”

I’m not trying to have that conversation 100 times a day.

I’m also looking forward to sharing some great news. I’ll keep it under wraps until all the t’s have been crossed and the i’s have been dotted.

I love you all!

One time for my girl TAMARA who is finally ONLINE! Remember she didn’t even check her email. She finally checked out my blog for the first time TODAY! Here’s what she said:

Damn Tee like that? Yea I really feel computer illiterate. That website is off da chain I have lots to read and you are so animated you make things sound so exciting that I forget that I was at some of these places.



Wow. An actual email from my bestfriend. I can’t believe it. If I can get her to start her own blog, man, that would be like WHOA! Her parents bought her a new computer for Christmas so maybe I can swing it. She is one of the most fun chicks to go out with and she is really my heart, along with Anna ofcourse. I’m so excited!

I

AM

HAPPY!!!
