Well folks, here we are again.  My 3rd layoff in a row in 6 years…I am again unemployed!  Virginia College Greenville and I have indeed parted ways…amicably.  Long story short, the company as a whole is restructuring and while the Greenville campus is number 1 in Career Services (WOOT WOOT that’s right!) the company had to make some tough decisions.  [...]

Wikipedia says, “In the Christian tradition, Lent is the period of the liturgical year from Ash Wednesday to Easter. The traditional purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer – through prayer, repentance, almsgiving and self-denial – for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion [...]

  This blog post definitely has to go out to the ones that MATTER! This past month has been nothing short of insanity and October is looking just as crazy.  I feel like I have no life to speak of and sincerely feel like I have neglected my friends.  This post serves as an explanation and an apology.

December 15 2009 my Gramp’s passed away in Greenwood, SC.  It was a hard time because he is the first of my grandparents to pass away.  I was with him a few days before and remember him touching my face and telling me how beautiful I was and how proud he was of me.  He made a point to tell [...]

Is there anyone out there in my realm of influence that DOESN’T know that I don’t have a filter?  Anybody?  Well if so…now you know. Recently there was a situation on Facebook where [...]

You know that when you have a serious issue with something there is a process to dealing with it.  You may not sit down and write it out, you may not think it through in steps, but there is a process. Myself I normally freak out.  Stress.  Wake up in the middle of the night.  Freak out.  Stress some more.  [...]

Well, David’s birthday was Friday and we had a blast with good friends and good food.  A week prior, my aunt Sharon was in town for my mother’s 50th birthday.  (Also a great time and too awesome to blog about! )  With her she brought the most amazing thing I have ever seen…whipped cream vodka! She comes over to me [...]

Ok so I know that subject line doesn’t make a bit of sense, so let me explain… I HATE WHEN WOMEN TALK ON THE PHONE IN THE RESTROOM! Why do you do that?  Is your conversation REALLY that important that you feel like you have to bring the conversation into the bathroom.  Does the sounds of peeing and pooping add [...]
