whoops!

Here I was, swearing to update this more. But I haven't

Meanwhile, I finally got a new job!!!

It's at a Christian book publisher, in the warehouse. You take the order that prints up, you find all the books from the boxes, put them in trays and double check, then send them on down the line to the people that pack and ship. How cool is that? And the pay is pretty much equal to what I make now. Insurance kicks in when they want (usually 90 days but he says they can always shorten it if you do amazing work ;) ). So I think I may still stay part-time at the grocery store for the minimum required hours to keep my insurance until I get it at the new job. I really want to quit there, but I don't feel safe without health insurance. Then again, if they kick it in say 30 days, I could deal. But I don't know the time period. And hey, my work may not WANT to keep me at part time. If they can't have me full time, they may just tell me to get out. Which is fine. I don't wanna be there.

Lion Brand actually had something that caught my eye (in a good way) in a recent newsletter. Michael's is always hiring people to teach classes. Well hey, if I could use a bit of extra cash, and this job really does get out early in the day, then I *could* teach some knitting or even crochet on the side. How's that for really enjoying your job? YES. I get to work with books every day and then I will eventually get to work with yarn? Life is good.

I also bought myself my very own first car, but have neglected to take a picture. Soon, because I need to take pictures of things to sell on eBay as well. Promises, promises. A brand new '06 Kia Spectra, beige, fully loaded. It's pretty nice. I'm happy.

Now to go e-mail the family and tell them the joyous news!

Congratulations on the car and the new job. Try to hang on to the other job until the new health insurance kicks in. I'm too scared to go without as well.
