Greetings from the Dark Side ;-)

My Loves!  I have missed you all so much!  I have been trying to figure out why I don't really post very often.  I have finally figured it out!  I made the mistake of telling my mil about my other blog AND SHE ACTUALLY FOLLOWED IT!!!  Can't rant and/or rave with my mil watching, it would just be to wierd.  So, I have created another blog with a similar name (so it is easy for me to remember) AND I'M NOT TELLING HER ABOUT IT!  Now I can feel free to be me and there's nothing she will say about it.

So, it's been awhile since I talked to any of you (I've decided to move in under my sparkly rock) but there have been/ will be a few changes in my life lately. 

First, my daughter has decided that she wants to take a break from gymnastics (she has been taking lessons for the last 5 1/2 years) to take up the piano.  It's not a major deal, I have no problem with this.  In fact, I'm kinda happy that I don't have to sit in a gym that smells like the inside a marathon runner's running shoe for an hour every week.  (My daughter really was just doing gymnastics for fun, no talent at all.  Way to tall.)  Now, however, I have her banging away on my keyboard each night for at least half an hour.  She only has 5 songs to practice and they either only have one key she presses or three.  I've started hearing these songs as background music in my dreams.  She's enjoying herself though so I'm just going to let her continue and find myself some good ear plugs.

Next, I am getting a new job! YEAH!  I will be doing the same thing I do now, mental health insurance billing, but I will get paid a lot more and actually get benefits! BENEFITS! Real ones, like health insurance and retirement and vacations!  I can't wait.

And last but in no way least, I have always wanted to be a beta reader.  Years ago, I even sent away for a kit that was supposed to tell you how to become a test reader for publishers.  I ended up with an expensive book with a listing of all of the publishers in the US and their address, along with a one page letter saying to write a resume' and send it to the different publishers and maybe on of them would hire me.  It was rather disappointing.  Today, I am talking so someone about being a beta reader!  I'm so excited!

Well, my lunch break is pretty much over (meaning that it was done a little while ago and no I will not be giving my blog info to any co-workers!) so I will end for now and go tweet about my new blog!
