Okay, the Powerball is up over $100 million and I am so going to play it. I can visualize all the things I would do with $1,000 so imagine $100 million. So for the joy of it, I'm gonna just tell you what I'd do with $1 million, not 100, just 1.
Q: What would you do with $1 million?
A: After finding an accountant, I would QUIT my job. Oh yeah, once the check was in my hands I would quit my job. I wouldn't talk a bunch of crap to my boss, but I would quit and never, ever, ever return. Not for a friggin' potluck, or the company picnic or anything. I really do not like my job nor do I particularly care for the people I work with. I'd go ahead and start my own business. Yep, I've always desired to own and operate a temporary agency. The agency would cater to providing low income women with entry-level job skills, daycare and even transportation.
Next, I would go to Disney World and Universal Studios. I've always wanted to go and never gone. I would spend at least two weeks in Florida with my kids, my nephews and I'd even let the teenagers bring a friend with them and stay in their own room. Oh yeah, I'd hire a babysitter to ride all the rides with the little ones so I could ride all the rides I wanted to. I'd enjoy dinner at Emeril's restaurant and have some of those cute little Mickey Mouse pancakes from that one place. Oh yeah baby. SMILE.
Once I got back from my childhood dream vacation, I would pay for my house and give it to my mom. She likes our house but it's really just the perfect size right now, but I'm sure as my kids get older, they'd like to have their own room. So, I'd get a 5-bedroom house - not a new one, I hate new construction, but one from the 1960's or 70's. The house would have to have a pool and a huge backyard. I've gotten used to my backyard and I know that I would need to have a huge enough backyard for my kids and my garden. SMILE.
Okay, then it's the total body makeover. I would have that lap band surgery and have my teeth whitened and boobs and butt lifted. Then of course nails and hair done.
Lastly, I would attend school full-time. It would be so much easier not having to worry about finances and that's what I'd do. Okay, what would you do?

Almost There
Today's lunch consisted of spinach salad and conversation about ear stapling. The latest wave of weight loss techniques. Okay, at $55, it's worth a try. So, I may go ahead and contact an acupuncturist about it. I've gotta do something to lose a lot of weight besides spinach salad and thinking about exercising. SMILE.
Well, I put in an application for that federal job today and I hope I get it. Their benefits package is awesome and it's still one of the highest paying jobs and they offer tuition reimbursement. Speaking of tuition my professor posted the syllabus and it really is intense. I have so long to go before graduation, but I cannot wait until I walk across the stage. Heck, I've even been thinking about pledging a sorority with my old but I've always wanted to be a soror.
Not much else to report 'cept been putting in a lot of applications for my mom who recently relocated here. She's currently working for a temp agency and has decided to look for full-time employment. I did a resume' for her and all and hope she can get a job with great health benefits. I can't imagine not having health benefits on a job, but I know many people do it daily. Well, that's my blog for the day. Hey, still no responses on whether or not it's rude for me not to attend the graduation.

Just Thinking
Today, my first meeting in two and 1/2 years. Finally realizing that I want something more out of this life. I want something more out of this career. Patience is the key. I'm too close to graduating from college and got a lot of plans of stuff I want to do this year. A friend questioned my decision about not wanting to attend my step-daughter's graduation. Come on what do you think?
I mean, my boys are 1st grade and kindergarten and having to ask them to sit still through such a lengthy program and my stepdaughter only gets 10 tix. I'm sure her mom has family she'd like to attend and with her mom, her dad, her three grandmothers, her brother and an aunt or uncle here and there, for me to request 5 tix is rude. Besides that's time I could spend in Half Moon Bay introducing my boys to the ocean. I miss the ocean. I miss driving down i-80 in Emeryville looking out across the Bay. There's this one spot where you can see three bridges - San Rafael, Golden Gate and the Bay Bridge. It's amazing.
Oh, let me tell you about church. I blew. Ohmigawd. I sung "Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross" and it just made me weep. For the last 4 years I've wanted to sing that song and finally God blessed me with the opportunity. I am so thankful for this life I live.
Okay, I want your thoughts on my decision to forego the high school graduation. Keep in mind, the boys are 5, 6 and 6.

My first response
Well, I can't tell you how excited I was to see my first response to my blog. She made my day. I got an "A" in my course, so I'm still maintaining my 3.98 G.P.A. and looking forward to my next course.
My stepdaughter graduates this year and I'm hoping to lose some major pounds before her graduation. I contacted a couple of local docs about the lap band surgery but my insurance won't pay for it and my paycheck ain't getting any bigger. SMILE. I also got that cabbage soup diet from some website and if I could do that for a couple of weeks a month, I just might lose a noticeable amount.
I am so looking forward to going back to the S.F. Bay Area that in all honesty, I don't really plan on going to the graduation. I mean leave that for her mom, dad and grandparents. I mean they only get so many tickets. I'd rather visit my family and friends and just hang out. I can't wait to go visit Half Moon Bay and take my kids on the ferry to Sausalito and even go to the Boardwalk and Pier 39. Oh, I've gotta see the spot where my hubby and I got married at in Orinda.
Hanging with girls in East Oakland during the evening and touring the sites with my kids during the day. 12 more weeks and I'm off. The countdown begins now...

Whatever
Well, this loving life I live. I got up with all intentions of having a great morning. I fixed bacon, eggs and pancakes and before 6AM two of the boys were up asking for breakfast. I fixed their plates, cut their pancakes and then one of them pours syrup over his bacon and starts to cry. I tried all my mommyisms to make him stop all to no avail. He gets up and goes to hide behind a chair and gets stuck. Damned if I were gonna pull him out. Then mMy loving husband walks in and "jokingly" greets me with "Hello asshole". Oh yeah, life is great.
Yesterday was fine. I received a perfect on one of my term papers and I had an interview for a new position - I should be excited but it would probably add more boredom to my already unsatisfying life. The phone was about to be disconnected so after work I called the phone company to pay the bill, but my husband also called the phone company. When I got home he proudly announces "I paid the phone bill". I proudly announced, "I did too." He had the audacity to tell me I owe him now. Whatever. Life is truly great.
I cannot get another job as my husband already whines about my going to school one night a week. Imagine what he'd do if I had to be gone two or three nights a week? So, my life summary - thin girl grows up to be fat woman with issues. I guess that's everybody, huh?

Just a quick note to let everyone know I blew it. Those three lbs. I lost are back on and then some. I guess I shouldn't worry as I know that I will lose weight in time, but I am seriously needing to take better care of myself.
I've viewed some of the other blogs on the site and "WOW". Hammer and Rosie truly have great blogs. I enjoy reading their blogs and the format is really neat. Hammer's got all kinds of music and Rosie's got links galore. I guess once I get this blogging thing down to an art, I'll be able to spice up my page a bit.

I've lost three pounds so far and that's a major accomplishment. I have stopped eating out as much and that's saving a little bit of money too. Went to a party Saturday night and had a great time. No dancing, just hanging out. Nice change of scenery. Well, hope to get a couple of visitors to check out my massively boring blogspot.
