Well Happy Birthday to MEEEEEEEEE!!!

I had to give myself a birthday shout out...2 years shy of 30 years old.
Do I feel accomplished? Heck yes! I have my family, in grad school, and very blessed to be able to say I was around to aid in my daughter's development.
Do I feel that I have been humbled? Somewhat...mainly because the economy has really made me really humble myself, and understand how to make sacrifices.
I can honestly feel really lucky to be able to do a year in review since my birthday is so late in the year. This year has reaaaaaaaaaaally made me put together a list of things I want to change for next year.

AVOID THE CROWDS TODAY!!!!

Go shopping on my Amazon store! It's linked to several stores (Toys'R'Us, Target, etc.), and it's secure. You don't even have to worry about having to go to various stores because it is all right there in one spot, and you can just sit there with your pajamas and feet up on the sofa. You can get Black Friday AND Cyber Monday Deals!
You can even find everything Princess Tiana because you have the power of Amazon right there finding everything for you and the little princesses in your life!
Disney's Princess and the Frog, just a sample of what you can get!
Some come and  enjoy the savings!!!

Video Phone (Remix)

I had to post this so everyone else could see it as well. I already tweeted and fb updated with the link. Now I don't have to stay up past my bedtime lol.

I think I want to interview everyday people

I mean even though there's supposedly some type of recovery from this recession; there are still some who are trying their best to put their talents, personality and goals out there. I want to conduct interviews with those who just have not been successful with their job search. Who knows when one of your future employers googles your name, they just might be able to see your interview.

Is anyone willing to be the first interview candidate?

Wow...I guess it's their way of spinning 1/4 life into motivational speaking

Well last week I was just talking about 1/4 life crisis, and look what I found on clutch magazine today.
Motivational Tips

You do your best to keep from thinking about the events of the day but cannot help seeing as how it only going to repeat itself the next, it’s the same thing everyday … that is when it hits you… you are stuck. You start to wonder about what happened to the goals and dreams that you had once mapped out for yourself? There are so many people your age that are so successful… why can’t you indulge in that same success? Daunting thoughts roam through your mind… How did I get here? How can I fix this? Where am I going? You are intelligent, fun-loving, creative, and gorgeous if you do say so yourself! So what is keeping you from having the success you dream about…?

I love it!!! I love their blog/site, and they are usually right on time when it comes to socio-political issues.

shout out to the Flying Fourhosemen of IT aka my group

*well except for the no eating here tonight part, but we did it!!!!* Good luck on the research paper you guys!

Would you be willing to sacrifice..

I just got finished listening to Willie Jolley (I love him! so passionate about being positive), and this is inspiring a question that I've been wanting to ask: would you rather keep a job doing something you hated, made you sick and sometimes depressed to go to just so you can make a certain $$$ amount? OR would you take a job with a pay cut because you are doing something you love, and you have no problem with cutting back in your life? talk ya talk folks!
