Cleverly hidden in the name is Jason's last name - Mraz. Gotta love him.
I'm counting down the days until we are together again - how ever many days it is from now until November 19th...
This will be the 6th time I've seen him in concert?? I think?? But this time Rian is going with me and he will see a whole other side of me.
The concert Noelle is certainly a completely different everyday Noelle. I wish I could be concert Noelle every day!
Is anyone else a little ( or a lot! ) freaked out about the economy and money situation of this country?!? It is bad enough that I'm on an intense job hunt with no jobs to be found (at least no jobs that seem to be for me) - and things just seem to be getting worse. It isn't making me or anyone else feel any more confident about spending money or making big decisions or opening the front door!
I'm not sure if this comes at a great time or a horrible time for Rian and I to begin out (most likely long) journey of searching for a house. We had our first (of many) talks this weekend about the beginnings of our house hunting. Neither of us have ever bought a house or anything of this magnitude, so we are feeling a bit overwhelmed, but also excited. We are wanting to do this right and be smart. I know we have a lot of figure out as far as money stuff and bank and loan stuff and a million other things. So with that, if anyone has any advice for first time home owners and the buying process - I'm all ears!!!
I'm incredibly excited, and a little nervous, but it will be all worth it.
So any advice - don't be shy - let me know!!
With that, I also need some suggestions for a part time job! I know I don't pull in as much money as Rian - so it is really important for me to have money saved and figure out a way to really get that extra amount and put it towards the house and all the fun things that go along with it. I am looking into doing some sort of seasonal, holiday work at a retail establishment - but it is not my first choice. I played the retail game for many years off and on and what a jolly good time that was. I'd love to do something where I can work at night at home or somewhere like that, but I'm sure that is what everyone is looking for.
I wish I had some sort of a craft I could hone to make some side money or figure out something like that - but it is tough, especially now. Once again - any ideas that you folks out in cyberspace can think of - please send them my way. Or my sister's way for that matter. We are both looking to make some extra cash - although I don't have to worry about another mouth to feed in just a few months! At least they start out little and don't eat as much. hehe I already love my little nephew SO MUCH!!!!! :-)
I know I probably complain a lot about my job and money woes - but I'm blessed beyond belief. I can't imagine the people that are struggling so much worse than I am and all of this financial crisis is going to push them lower and lower. I'm scared shitless of the upcoming election - but I'm working on regaining my faith in the American people that they will see through this apparent "Change is Coming" and know that that direction only leads to a deeper trouble and saddened Nation of care towards the wealthy and backs turned to those in need.
The truth is that the change IS out there and change WILL come if we choose the right leader and that leader chooses the right people to surround themselves with. I will not name names - but if you even know a sliver of who I am, you know who I'm talking about. I'm sure I'll rant more later about certain someones and their lack of truly believing in WOMEN'S RIGHTS!!!!!!!
Now I've said too much. But that's what I'm good at so sometime soon I'll say MORE!
Peace & Love
