Just a quick entry before I have to get ready for work.

Things have been busy, but I have good news.

Not this pass Friday, but the last, I had talked to the main partner about my position in the company.  I was really looking about insurance, plus if I was an employee of the firm because I am still doing this internship program.  Before he left for the weekend, he told me that they are going to team me up with the new partner, JPH and his paralegal.  I will be working with them Monday thru Friday; they are going to find someone else for the days that I am at the receptionist desk.  He told me I was doing a wonderful job and that I am more valuable in the back than in the front at the RDesk.

I am so happy; I am move up in the firm. However, JT did not like it.  Office drama; she had been hoping that she would be moved to the accounting dept.  You see, they had hired me 3 days out of the week to help in RD, so she could help in the AD.  Now that I am working full-time and moving into the legal assist for JPH & AMG.  She is jealous that I am moving up in the firm and she is still hoping.

I have the degree and worked hard for this and still working hard.

As for my oldest, she is doing well with the car.  In fact, I have been calling her for dinner dates and she has been joining me.  We have been talking.  I told her we should try to get together once a month to catch up.  She is dealing with a lot.  Did I tell y'all that one of her roommate ran out on them.  They are living in a 3 BR apartment and can't get out of it till Dec.  They are working extra hours to make up the money.  They already have plansto move out and set up in a different apartment closer to school; a 2 BR.

My son is doing well.  Things with John have been rocky.  We have been fighting more, but he is the one that starts it.  I'll have to write about that another time. Time to get dress.

Till next time......

Decisions, Decisions..........

Why am I still have problems making them; or better yet, why am I making them and regretting them.  Not able to stand up for myself or am I.

I am looking back on the purchase of my car.  I took one of my long time best friend with me, when I was looking for my car.  My friend asked the salesman if I could have the tax, title and license with the sales price on the car.  He agreed; but at the sign of the paper.  He did not.  My credit was not bad, but not good because of the divorce.  He had told me that they had a difficult time finding financing for me because of it, plus when I sign to purchase the car.  He quoted me $329, yet before the signing, he told me that it went up a dollar or two.  In the financing office, I found out that it went up to $347.  However, the financing salesman was trying to sell me the option packages, bring it up to $400 a month; a dollar or two, my ass.

When signing the paper, I notice that the tax, title and license was added to the sales price.  All I could thing was that I already had given the old car to Brenda Lee, and I need this car.  All I could think was I would deal with it, but I was screwed.  Plus this financing salesman was pushing on this options.  I finally raise my voice, "No, No, No...."  I am a single mother, here I sign and agreed to the $329, and now I hear that because of my credit, the amount when up to $347, and here you are trying to sell me this package making the amount to $400.  I told the salesman that I could only afford $300, but I would work thing out for $329, and now I am dealing with $347.  I can't do $400.

Bottom line is that it is done.  I have a $347 car payment.  People still screw other people.  I try to watch out, but they still do.

I don't know what to think, or what to do.  I can't stop thinking about you know who, Luke.  I am having trouble feeling like myself.  I have gain my weight back.  Trying to get back into exercising, but I can't seem too.  I have this great guy, he is not prefect, but who is.  I am dealing with the possibilities that he will be leaving.  And I realize how much I need someone to hold me, to love me, someone with me. I love him, but I need more.  There are thing that he is not fulfilling in my life. I just wonder if he could.

There is so much going on in my life.  Sometimes I do not want to talk or think about it.  My life is so screwed up, but I guess whose isn't.  This is life; the good and the bad.  Just try to hold on to the good, huh.....  Try to be positive.

Till next time......

I am checking if this is going to work. I am adding this entry from my cell phone. Till next time...... ~BRIN

Check out my New Car.........

I needed too.  The oldest was in an accident two weeks ago.  She is fine; she was only brused from the seatbelt. Plus school started last week, she was riding the bus and catching rides from friends and her roommate.

My plans were to buy a new car and give her the 1994 Camry.  I had told her about it, and she told her dad that she did not know about taking on a 14 year old car. My ex told me that he was disappointed with her.  I was shocked, here, she is being handed a car, and she is concerned.  I told my ex that if she should be asking me about the condition to the car.  I have been taking care of the maintence and repair on it.  The car is in good condition; I have kept up with it.  It just had an oil change and has new tires.  She is such a brat; Daddy's creation.  He gives her everything, but now that he is divorce and can't do everything.  She is learning how it is to do for yourself.

When I brought the car.  I went to pick her up from work to take her home.  I didn't mention about the car till we were walking to it.  She was shocked; in fact, I think she thought that I had brought the car for her.  I read that on her face.  On the ride home, I told her that I still plan on give her the Camry, but I heard about the 14 year old comment, and I asked her what she thinks.  She said, "Well......."  I told her that it should be me to ask about the car's conditions, and I told her.  I also told her that if she did not want the car that I already had a buyer for it.  I did.  My friend Susan, herson is moving back to TX from CA, and he needs a car.  She had told me that she would buy it for him.  By the time we reached my apartment complex, she had said that she wanted the car.

My girls are bad, but I blam my ex for it.

I have my pictures from the Lexington. I will be added them later.

Till next time....
