A lot has happened since I last blogged. I won't share most of the details but here are some of the "highlights" in no particular order:
- A few of my mission companions/friends found me on Facebook and it made me very nostalgic and homesick for the memories I've lost to less important, everyday things.
- I colored my hair a violet-red and it looks really pretty in the sunshine.
- I quit my job. It was making me very unhappy and I can only deal with happiness in my life.
- I finally got that dang boot off my foot (two months AFTER my surgery).
- I bought myself an iPhone and I'm in love with it and all it's fanciness.
- My purse was stolen. The amount of mad I am about this cannot even be expressed in mere words. Actually, there are a lot of words I could use but I'm a lady.
- Despite sending my resume out to the universe, I am still unemployed.
- I canned 18 pints of pears in early September. I can't remember if I told you about that before. They are quite lovely.
- I've forked close to $500 on my teeth in the past month. A replacement crown, a root canal, cleaning, fillings and x-rays. Not at all happy about this.
- I've gained as many as 5 lbs. but no less than 2 lbs. - depends on the day and how much soda and or saltiness I've eaten. I've been majorly craving the soda and the salty.
- Despite the fact that I made a promise to myself to only have happiness in my life, there sure does seem to be quite a bit of unhappiness.
- I signed up for internet dating again "just to see what's out there". Turns out, there's nothing any better than the last time I checked.
- I think I've FINALLY gotten over the whole peanut butter and chocolate chips thing. Maybe. Hopefully.
- I'm thinking about writing a letter to President Obama asking him why small business aren't regulated like larger companies. He's a little bit busy right now what with being on Mythbusters and appearing in Las Vegas. Is he really our President or just a star in a reality show called the US Government?
- I wish I wasn't so mad about so many things.

It's okay to get a little mad for a while & vent. Then you get it out of your system and move on. You have some things that are justiably making you mad, so nobody blames you. You'll get through it & find that perfect job full of happiness.
About what Amy said, (sorry, Amy) but there is no "perfect job full of happiness". Totally a myth. Sorry.
But there are definitely better jobs than what you had. And I'm sure you're going to find one! Positive.
This has been such a not fun time for you. I am so sorry everything seems to be going wrong at every turn. But look at the bright sides: violet red hair???? Where did I miss that???? And look at all the time you get right now. Run with it. Fly out to San Francisco with it. Have a great time with it. You're in my prayers.
It's definitely okay to be mad, Leslie. I am the Queen of Mad sometimes. Just get it out and let it go. Hang in there and know that you are not alone. As for the job thing, well, I'm going on a year now of unemployment. It's rough but I have to hang on to the hope that there is something out there. Online dating can work (I'm proof of that) but you still have to weed through all the frogs to find that prince. The internet sites still can't do that part for you! LOL And that idiot who stole your purse will get what is coming to him one day. Karma, you know...LOL And regarding the peanut butter, you are on your own with that one, cuz. Let me know how you solve that one because I could sure use help with that too. Love you!!
ok, i liked your comment about Obama a lot, that is a good way to describe it.
hang in there. Watch Steel magnolias tonight, that will surely help! haha.
love ya
