So it's Sunday in Mississippi which means most everything is closed for the day. I'm at the library where I am supposed to be studying but I thought I would take the time to blog since it's been a month. I'm just not sure I'm going to be any good at blogging. I know I should be just based on the stuff running around in my head but I can't seem to get the contents of my brain onto the screen.
I am working at a local doctors office during the week and I think it's going to be really fun. My co-workers are nice, fun, and have no issue sharing their daily lives which provides complete entertainment for me. Don't take me wrong here I'm not making fun of them as I think they are truly good and nice people but it's just they have no issue sharing info. Like the nurses talking about upping their anxiety meds during "that" time of the month. Then there's the girl at the front desk who's working on divorce of husband number 2 and living with another guy. This one has interesting things to say let me tell you. To tell you the truth I need this kind of mindless chatter around me, even though it's in no way adding to my intellect, I'm in no way stressed out.
There has been much work to do around the house. I have found myself hitchin'-up the trailer to the truck in order to go and get the lawn-mower that had been in the shop for 3 weeks. Ya know hitchin-up trails is alot like riding a bike, once you learn you never forget. There is this slope of land off from the house that after the rain we received, from Ike, that had started to wash away so one of the local farmers brought us some hay and yesterday I proceeded to spread hay to keep the land from washing any further away. One thing I never remember missing while in Texas was the itch from hay or the pricks in my fingers(yes, I had on gloves).
I really want a massage, a delicious dinner, a BOTTLE of wine, and good music. A close friend ask why I couldn't get any of that here and I suppose I could but for some reason it's just not the same. I should be happy I have a roof over my head, food on my table, money in the bank, and a job while some people are losing everything. Well that just set me straight!

College & Football
Going back to college in your earlier 30's gives you an entire different outlook. I mean it's like I know a secret the others don't know; it's very interesting. It seems I'm no longer afraid to participate in class as I've now spoken up in both classes; this is something I would have never done before. Something that hasn't changed is I do get the nervous feeling in my belly when they talk about test or quizes....oooohhh I don't like those.
Other than class there's not much going on here. We'll have our first football game this Sat so I'll go to the Coach's talk show on Thursday night, at the University Club, with friends then hang out on campus with friends prior to game time Saturday. Oh, I get student tickets which I still pay for but at a lower rate. :) I love football!!!!
Talked with the X today for a little while and that went well. He's proud of me for going back to school and thinks it'll be a good focus point. It's good that we have past the shock point of our separation/break-up and can have a normal conversation without tears. It's nice to be able to share thoughts on day to day activity in his or my life and laugh with him.
So that's all for today in my small Mississippi college town.

Fresh Start
I have finally started a blog, mostly as away to stay in touch with friends and as a journal for myself. Maybe one day I'll look back at this time in my life and be able to say look how far I've come. Currently, it sort of feels like I went from the top to the bottom of my life.
I've moved back to my hometown in Mississippi from a very happening Texas city plus ending a 6 year relationship. After two weeks of being a complete wreck I seem to be on my feet. Enrolled back into college for focus and as a way to keep my mind busy and I'm currently looking for a job which is not going so well. The job market is just terrible, well...... maybe it's also because I'm used to earning a great salary and here it's $10 an hour at best which for me is depressing. I'm sure it will work out but man this has been an eye opening experience.
So my gals from Texas, no recipes to share currently, as there has been no cooking from me. Maybe it'll come back with time. I get to attend my first college game in at least 3 years if not more so that is exciting news.
