that's right! my stormy is spawning a girl! yay! i claim flowergirl dibs! unless raedella needs her first of course, godmothers rights and all. oh yeah and the fact that she's more likely to become a missus loooong before i am!
So congrats to storm and dukayn, and let me know if you need help with anything for the spare room this weekend, although i'll warn you i've never painted a wall all one colour before! *wonders if a mural in the baby's room is an acceptable babyshower gift*
In other me news (cos my friend having a kid is all about me of course), i've just enrolled for the jewellery making course and am just finishing organising my new work roster and a weeks holidays before the start of term on 18th feb (3 days before my birthday which is, unfortunately, going to be the first day back in the meatroom on my new roster!). My ghenkis has expressed his concerns over the fact that i will be at tafe 3 days a week and at work 4 days a week, not allowing me any time off. I'm not sure if his concerns are so much over my stress levels or the fact that i'm going to take them out on him! To tell the truth i'm not really worried about it too much. I mean when the school holidays come along i'll have 3 days a week off and even when i am in class, i'm doing something i really want to do, i get to learn new things and be creative all day, for 3 days out of a week. after the last 6 months or more of working where i am, getting up at 6am to go to work for 8 hours then going home again, even the fact that i don't have to start at tafe until 9am is going to be a novelty (for the first couple of weeks anyway!) Anyway, we'll see how it goes. there are other people at the supermarket who came forward to take my job when they heard i might be going back to uni full-time and leave the place altogether, so i'm not so worried about cutting back my work hours if i need to. I'm just not ready to let go of a full-time income just yet!
There's also the fact that the money i make can be saved up if i don't have the time to go anywhere (although having to drive across town and back every single day is going to increase my petrol costs). I'm planning to have quite a bit saved by the end of the year, my tax return included, to start working on an internet-based business. this is something that has been on my mind for years, and has fluctuated in size from a market stall to a mansion! I think managing a website while i'm studying either the second year of a jewellery-making diploma, or even doing a jewellers apprenticeship next year, will be enough of a challenge!
take care groovers!
