Happy freakin New Year! I thought that each year was supposed to get better, but apparently this is not always true. I started off the year pretty good. And by this I mean the first 3 days of 2008. On Friday, January 4th, I was told that my position was being eliminated. So...technically, i got fired. For most, this would be an incredibly upsetting thing. For me, not so much. I actually feel very HAPPY that I no longer work for a bunch of slime sucking scumbags. My husband and quite relieved as well. The good thing about all of this is that I can collect, so I'm at least still making money whilst I sit home and do nothing. And this also means that I can go back to doing something that I loved...driving a school bus. It may not sound like the most exciting job in the world, but for me it is. I love the kids although they can be a handful at times. I guess when you can't have children, this is the closest thing to having them. Driving the little kids...they look up to you, and want to be your friends, and tell you all their little secrects. I'm looking forward to getting back on the road. But, i want to milk this not working thing for as long as I can because I'm so enjoying it!

I'm still painting. I've finally finished the dreadful thing had been working on for quite some time now. It was fun to paint, but the leaves were really starting to annoy me. But it's finally complete, all I have left to do is spray it, frame it and hang it. I started working on my next one last week, and I'm about halfway done with it. It's only a small one though, before I attempt the real big one.

There's still so much left to say, regarding the wedding planning, but I eally don't know where I left off and I'm not even sure that these things really matter any more. I guess, in a way, they do, cause they have dramatically changed my life. Sort of.

And don't feel bad for me because I lost my job. I consider it the kick in the ass I needed to make that change. I hated my job, I hated my bosses, I hated almost everything about the place. I will miss a co-worker, maybe two. But that's about the extent of it. Maybe tomorrow I'll write more. For now, I think I'm going to wath a little TV before my husband gets home.
