I Will lose this weight.
I Will Never get a Needle in my knee again.
I will find a better job.
I said it, I believe it, and it’s already done ..
I believe words are powerful. They have the ability to hurt or to encourage, so be careful of what you say..

I got up today with a plan to not just look for a job,
but look for the right job. The things I have done before,
just aren’t good enough today, and I know the meaning of
âLive and Learn ” is more than just words.
The last time I was out of work,
I would apply for everything I thought I could do.
I would go to every mall and surrounding areas asking,
âAre you hiring,â And was told
I could either fill out an application in the store or online.
If I was lucky to get an interview, yeah, and hope for the best.
I would accept any job, because I knew I needed to work.
I do NEED a job, but I want to be happy.
I may be pushing that âfeeling,â but I am hopeful.
I am going all out on looking for companies that I want to work at
and NOT work just to be working.
I spent five and a half hours today doing just that.
I came across a GOOD home base job,
but I cannot type 25 wpm (NOW)
I know what I can do,
how I can improve what I already know,
 and get the job where I want to be.
Its time to get back to
My Job Hunt.

The thought of working on a crochet project and getting paid for it, got me Smiling. I was happy for days. I remember years ago, just after my son was born, I started crocheting and it was pure luck that the project actually fit a king size bed. I do remember it took me over four months to make.
I wanted this project to come out right, because this time it wonât be a gift. I did my research. I got a rough idea about the amount of yarn that will be needed. I put that question out on Google and I looked on more than ten sites and the answer was always different.
The number count was between 12 and 14 skeins of yarn. Then again I also know, it depends on the yarn, and I wish she hadnât looked at the âcakeâ yarn, because it is thicker than most and will need more to complete the size.
She offered $200.00 and that sounded good, until I got to adding what it would cost to get the yarn. She even suggested I start on it now, but that was a big âNO.â (I WILL NEVER PUT MY MONEY INTO A REQUESTED PROJECT EVER AGAIN. I learned the hard way, people will take everything from you if you allow it.)
The look on my face must have said what I was thinking and before I could say anything, she said she would give me half of the money up front and the other half when it’s done. COOL!!
I agreed. I know Micheals is always having a sale and since it’s a Christmas gift I have enough time. I saw her every day when I got home from work, (and yes she has my phone number) but for some reason I am no longer seeing her.
I will not call her to ask if she still wants me to make her that blanket, because part of me no longer wants to do it. We may have agreed on a $200.00 blanket, but if it’s going to cost me more then $60.00 on the yarn I donât think so. (I know its going to take me at least two months to make) I am thinking she was just talking to be nice. I might be wrong and this is one of those times I am hoping I am.
This person may not buy a crochet project from me, but one day I will open an online store. My goal is to have a place where anyone can buy one or two of my crochet items as well as request something as well.
I am hearing an unasked question. What is a requested item? I have seen items in catalogs as well as online and I thought, âthat is a cool dress, too bad they donât have any colors I liked,â and that is how I want to add that to my page.
A Person : You know that isnât how things are done.
Me : If you are always playing âfollow the leader.â How are you going to shine?
The person whom I was talking to, had no response, and walked away from me with a confused look on their face.

I saw these red Christmas wine glasses a few weeks ago and thought they would look nice on my table. I knew I wasnât going to pay $5.00 for each one (I was thinking about buying all 12 glasses) and they would be gone before it got marked down. I was wrong, because I was able to buy two glasses for less than $3.00. Two is better then none at all.
I wasnât going to walk past something I wanted. Well, unless it cost too much and I have to ask myself:
If I get at least three positive answers to my questions, then I will buy this item, and be happy I bought itâŚâŚ..

It is sometimes hard working at a retail store, because there are so many things one can buy. I enjoyed looking at them, putting liked items together, and rearranging them so they would be pleasing to the eye.
Whenever I go into a store I look past what I am looking for and see other items I think I want. If a store is arranged in a nice way, I may just pick up an extra or two. I am not alone in this thinking.
I love cups and I keep telling myself not to buy them, so I will not get tempted to buy another one. I really donât need any more cups. My coffee table is already full, with my cups, and books. Who doesnât like to drink a good cup of coffee or tea while studying.
I stopped going past the coffee mugs at my job until I decided I didnât have a cup with all of Snoopyâs friends on it. S0, it was no longer a want, but a need. I was going to get a new cup and my smile was there as I walked to the back of the store, but that smile faded. I may have put the cup all the way in the back and at the very top. Someone found my cute Snoopy cup was gone.
Oh well, I knew I should have gotten it, because if you look at something more than once, then you should just go ahead and get it. Did I learned from this? Than answer is âNo,â because it wasnât even a full week when I saw something even better. This time the cost was $50.00 and I was trying to save some money. I really want to go home (New York) this summer and every dollar saved now will get me there.
I couldnât help, but look at the bag everyday (it was in my area) as I continued to work, but it was hard. I happened to be talking to a friend about it and he asked:
Friend : I missed taking you out for your birthday. Do you want to go out to eat or get that bag?
Me : I love to eat and get food, but a bag can last forever.
I was so surprised he gave me the money. I really thought he was joking and I would have given him a hug if we werenât on the city bus. I wasnât going to go back to work to get it. I called and had them put it on hold. Too bad it was the wrong one. At least I have a picture of the cutest bag I lostâŚ
It’s okay. I am holding onto the gift that was given to me and the next time I see a bag. It will be coming home with me.
It is hard to bypass items you see and want, because you are trying to save for a bigger item.
