Reading....

I have never been a reader. I love looking through books that has alot of pictures. If I go to the bookstore I make a b-line to the history section, where I can stay there for hours just looking through the books. There was one book that I picked up and you had to wear 3D glasses to see the pictures and it was way cool. I love history and it was my favorite subject in school.
I was given a book to read and I finished it. It was a good book talking about a woman's journey. So after reading this it inspired me to start reading another book "Calm My Anxious Heart". This book is incredible and I can truly relate to what is being said. Since I have been inspired to read more, I was given another book to read. I was a little confused for the first 2 or 3 chapters but then understood what was going on. I have been reading this book everyday, the first day I read 15 chapters, the second day 9 chapters and I am on my third day in which I will finish today! I can't say that too loud or I will be given another to book to read. :-)
Amazon has loved my credit card, this is where I have been getting some of my books. I have 2 more that I saw that I want to order. I have a new hobby now....reading and I have been enjoying it. I am thinking when I get my new book I will go to the pool or beach to hang out to read and soak up some rays.

Lunch time

Normally 4 of the 5 days I work I bring my lunch. Today I found out that my turkey sandwich might be bad. It had white spots on the meat and some of it didn't. So I decided not to take a chance and tossed it. I hate to waste food like that! It was a good reason to get out of the office for a little bit, 98% of the time I am sitting at my desk eating lunch. I drove to the mall and ate at Frank-titude. Of course when I finished I made a fast walk to a shoe store to see what was in. I asked the sales person if they had the shoes in brown and my size, I tried them and I could not resist....sold! I now own a pair of brown Chuck Taylor shoes and yes they will only be worn a couple times through out the year.
Those who knows me know that I color coordinate my shoes with my clothes, if I am not wearing brown then my Chuck Taylor's will not be worn. I will be sporting them Sunday to church providing it doesn't rain. But if it does I will have a back-up pair to wear out in the rain. Call crazy or weird, its nothing I haven't heard before but I believe in taking care of my things. We all have a weirdness about us.

Orientation today

Today I go to orientation from 5pm to 10pm for a security position at Turkey Point. This is just the application process and having to take 3 tests, when I pass the tests I will contiue the porcess to be given an interview. This would be a great opportunity and the drive is like 10 minutes from my house, as to where now I drive 1 hour to work. I said my prayers last night and left it in God's hands.

Thanks Phil for what you done to get me this far!!

I PASSED!

I took my written portion of the Nursing Asst State Board exam last week and I passed! I wasn't nervous when I walked into school to take it but it was during the exam that I realized that some of the questions I did not read or covered in class. I must have prayed as I answered each question. Then at the end the State Instructor asked me if I was finished and we looked to see if I had pass. I read the wrong line, thought I had failed but the instructor whispered in my ear "congradulations, you passed". I was never more relieved and excited. This puts me one step closer and the skills test comes in 6 weeks.

Count down....big day

Alot will be happening tomorrow. First, my niece is graduating from high school and I cannot believe how time flew by. I can still remember holding her as a baby for the first time and watching her graduate K-5. I am VERY proud of her and for this day to come, afterwards she will be attending St. John's River Community College on a 2 year scholarship for volleyball. I will miss traveling to see her play high school volleyball but I am even more excited to watch her play at a college level. I did find out from her coach that they will be in a tournament in September around the West Palm Bch area, so I will travel there to cheer her on.
Second, my test has arrived. I will be taking the written portion of my State Board exam. I have been reading and trying to prep myself, but I will be honest has been hard to discipline myself this week to do so. Last night was the first night that I didn't stress and felt peace. I will do my best and really pray tonight that God is with me. The skills portion of the test comes in mid-July.
