highs and lows

Highs:

* "Twilight" the movie didn't suck! (And can you say hottest kiss of my life?!)

* Getting 16th row tickets to the Backstreet Boys concert here in Phoenix! (Boom, baby!)

* Buying David Archuleta's debut CD! (Tracks 1, 2, 10, and 12 are already my favorites but the whole thing is really good!)

Lows:

* Gas! ($1.97 and still falling!)

* Getting a call last night at 6pm from Ticketmaster telling me the Backstreet Boys concert was cancelled due to Nick being sick! (I almost cried.)

* Finding a pair of pants last weekend at Kohl's on clearance for $3.60 (Can't beat that!)

i need a nap...

For the last 3+ years that I have been back in Arizona I have prided myself on the fact that I never had to drive on the freeway either way to work. Well no more! As of October 20th I have joined the ranks of those who deal with rush-hour traffic everyday and can I just say: I DON'T LIKE IT! Perhaps I should back up and catch y'all up on what's been happening in my life the last month...

Last month I started the interviewing process at University of Phoenix (hereafter referred to as UOP)--the lure of a higher salary and free education finally getting to me. I kept the whole interview under wraps at my other job (what was the point in telling them until I knew whether I got the job or not? No sense causing people stress where it's not needed, right?). It took a few more weeks but I was finally offered a job as a Finance Counselor and accepted the offer! Now I had to put in my notice at Junior Achievement...a task nobody likes.

My last day as the Receptionist at Junior Achievement was October 15th. I took of Thrusday and Friday so I could fly up to Utah for a badly needed vacation and the chance to see my best friend, Kristy Marchant, who was on Fall Break. I flew in to Salt Lake late Wednesday night and spent the next four days relaxing and having fun. We went and got pedicures, ate a lot of chocolate, drove around Lehi/Eagle Mountain, went to the Cheesecake Factory, watched several movies and played the "N Sync Backstage Pass Game" that Kristy gave me for my birthday! lol...it was awesome! (For any who are intersted...Kristy was the "Biggest Fan"!!!)

My flight got back in Phoenix Sunday night at 10:30 and bright and early Monday morning I started day one of my 6 week training at UOP. How's training going, you ask? Well...my head hasn't exploded yet. lol...there is a TON to learn! But, I'll get it. All I know is...I need a nap!
