I did it

I did it.

I joined the group of blogging. My lofties are into it so I decided to join.

Before I write anything, I'm going to apologize in advance for any random thoughts that come falling out of my head. It's just the way it goes.

It's summertime. I really love it. So far, it's been filled with new adventures, experiences and challenges. I'm working two jobs. (crazy, I know). I'm an escrow assistant at Capital Tile Willowbend during the week days. I build title policies to be sent out to relators, print up recording receipts to be released, file papers, send things to the vault, call home owners to verify information, etc. In a sense, the office that I am working out reminds me of the infamous show starring Steve Carell. Except no Jim's (tear), Toby's, Stanley's, or Kevin's. It's just an office filled with Phyllis's, Angela's and me (Pam). It's still entertaining though. On Friday, the microwave broke in the kitchen and all of the middle aged woman started freaking out about how to cook their lean cuisine lunches because everyone swears to be on a diet. And here I am with a candy stash in my drawer. haha. good times.

My second source of income is J Crew. It's so fabulous. I'm at the Northpark location so it's always filled with Dallas woman on a hunt for cashmere cardigans and sundresses. The cliental at J Crew is very diverse from CT. I work with men and woman in their 20's. Everyone is always decked out in J Crew wear which is so fun. The boys wear skinny ties, vests and buttons (love) and the girls wear sundresses. So far, in the last two days I have worked, I have pooled in $2,900 in mechandize. Not too shabby for the first few days of work, eh?

I've also made a list of goals that I want to accomplish this summer as well. First and foremost, I've decided to read more. I have a collection of books that I skimmed for one of my classes last semester dealing with the Social Issues found in education. Now, with the extra time (besides working) I want to read them all. Also, I want to learn how to play acoustic guitar. Learn a few chords. So then I could be "that teacher" that ties into music on her guitar into her lesson plans. totally rad.
