since I
wrote, 2009 was a hectic year full of changes and new beginnings. I moved out of my grandparents 
house...and into a fab apt with my mom and hectorio, or bitch tits, as I like to call him, b/c he is a fat ass with saddlebags. Its in a great neighborhood, surrounded by woods, and it is quiet. I dig it. My mom and I are more like best friends than mother and daughter, we have our fights, she wins b/c mom card trumps friend card. Plus, she still does my wash, so I don't complain (haters!). Beauty school did not work out due to some back problems that prevented me from standing for longer than about an hour...not good for a hairdresser. However, I finished the whole book-smarts part of it, so i can mix a color like no one's business...just can't stand long enough to apply it. :(. So after I became THE beauty school drop-out (singing allowed), I started throwing my resume out there seeing if I could catch a part time job and go back to school...Holy Family University is right down the street, figured I could finish some kind of degree there (teaching-standing-same thing with the back, so thank god for the associate degree in secondary ed-blah, all my hard work, down the drain). So after putting out some emails, I received one back...4/19 would be the exact date....I went on an interview on 4/20...and started work on 4/21. That's how I roll. Much to my surprise, It has probably been the most significant thing to happen to me (career wise) in my life. I work at the Perzel Agency, right by Frankford and Cottman, and I can honestly say, without hesitation, that there isn't a day that I feel like work is a burden, or that I dread going there. I love my job. I am now taking an online course that will prepare me to take my state board test to be licensed to sell insurance (hopefully by January). I am not going to be an insurance salesman, per say, (nothing against them, b/c i work with some kick ass peeps), having the license will help me better handle clients that call in wanting quotes...i mostly do customer service. I definitely see myself staying in this business. I rock at what I do and my work fam is slammin', son! It definitely makes life a lot easier when you are at ease with your job and its' atmosphere.My last post was in January, and beings that its now the end of the year, it was a pretty awesome year...i was lucky to be apart of 2 great friends vowing to stay together, through thick and thin, for the rest of their lives...Congrats, Ang and Matt :) My cousin in going to be a DADDY!!! Congrats, Jim and Kris!!! You are both going to be amazing parents:) Baby G due March 1, 2010!!! Congrats to Kenny and Danielle on their engagement!! Ken, you lucked out, cousin... and Nel, can't wait for you to be a Rooney!! Also, another one of my chicks is going to be a MOMMA...though I won't throw her name out there yet...you'll have to wait for that one :)
As much as life has changed, I miss the things of the past...last night watching a Who concert on Tv, I couldn't' remember the names all the members, who was dead or alive...and what sucked was the only person i would ever call to ask a question like that isn't here...miss them both everyday. However, what I've been through has made me who I am today, and I'm pretty thrilled with that person. Of course, there's always room for improvement...and always room for making mistakes...its really all about having a good time and enjoying life while you are living it. HOLLER!
