Tonight I start my MBA class. I am taking "Marketing and Management." This is one of four foundation classes I need to take since my undergrad degree is not in business.
The reason I want to take this class and embark on an MBA is because I need something to do. When I turned 40, I was experiencing a mini life crisis and wanted some new direction. I should have thought of an easier adventure, but hey why not.
I appreciate all the support from my family, colleagues, friends, and cyber buddies.
Let the work begin.

Resolutions 2010
Most of you will say that I do not need to lose weight; however, my friends and I have a bet for six months on who can lose the most weight. The winner will receive two tickets to the State Theater. In my case, if I can lose ten pounds I will be happy. The main reason I am doing this is because it will give me something to do.
I lost ten pounds before. Then I had to go to Bermuda and gain it all back. I know the cruise dining did me in.
Additionally, I am trying to give up caffeine, mainly in hot tea. Today I am off to a good start. I only poured myself one cup of tea so far. Usually in the morning, I might have up to two or three cups.
Wish me luck!

Airbag repair
My new year is shaping up in terms of big bills. I took my car over to Gilboy for the airbag light and an oil change. I finally broke down and took it in for repair of the airbag after three months of having it not turn off.
Besides the airbag and oil change, I needed new windshield wipers, shocks, and brake fluid replacement. The total around $711.00
Along with these problems, they noticed my cracked fender. There was a man from Daku auto body there who said I might be able to place an insurance claim for it. He also gave me an estimate on how much it might cost me: $2,700.00. This price tag is the main reason it is not repaired.
Other than that, life is good!

Night at the Sands
If it is my year to shine, why did not I win at the Sands? My mom, dad, my friend Stephanie J and I went to the casino after church last night. I organized it and we were all hoping to win.
My mom and Stephanie really did not want to come, but they were the big winners of the night. My mom won $331 on a .25 slot machine and Stephanie won $771 on a .01 Yoda slot machine.
Even though my dad and I did not win, we were treated to the Irish Pub by my mom.
Maybe next time I should start a mantra of not wanting to go to the casino and maybe I might win!

Prediction #2 - Little Dog
Another prediction was that there is a little dog in my future. Not ever having a dog, this will be interesting to see if it pans out.
I have never owned a dog; the main reason not having the time to take care of it. I would hate to see the animal at home while I would be working all day. Plus taking care of animals is comparable to raising children. You have to feed them, clean them, take them to the doctor when they are sick and entertain them.
I know animals like children give you a lot in return namely love and companionship.
If I do see myself with a dog, it would definitely be a small one. I would not want a big one that it would overpower me. My friend Chrys has an Argentinian Dogo named Duncan. He is a lovable creature and weighs as much as me. When I first met him, I was afraid; however, it did not last as when I visit, I play fetch with one of his toys and get a lick on the legs.
Who knows I might not purchase a pet and the man I meet in January might have a small one. Then again you do not see most men with little dogs.
If you think I'm going to have a dog in my future let me know. Also if you would like to guess the type of dog it will be, drop me a line as well.

Mr. January - Prediction #1
One thing Deborah told me is that I would encounter my soulmate in January. I would meet him at a church function but it would not be at my church. This man would also share my same religious beliefs.
She also said, if I would become involved with someone in the fall of 2009, I would become too preoccupied and miss him. " Since this was August, I was not going to let my chances to date be diminished with the thought of maybe finding someone next year.
I am excited about finding someone this month. If you would like to throw out a date when I will meet him or the name, please go right ahead. Maybe I'll take the lucky person out to lunch.
The countdown begins.

January 2010 Finally Here
When I turned 40 in August, I went with my friend, Chrys to see a psychic, Deborah Edwards in the Poconos. I thought it would be fun and Chrys' mom, Joan had seen Debbie a few months prior to our reading and vouched for her psychic ability. She was able to connect Joan with her twin sister who died more than twenty years ago.
With the endorsement from Joan, I was game.
Chrys and I met Debbie at a resort. Nothing fancy, but the atmosphere was better than something on Atlantic City's boardwalk. In A.C. I feel most of those psychic readers are charlatans and are only there to take your money which does not make me comfortable in the least.
I was the first one to have my reading done. Before any predictions were given, Debbie created a character profile by only holding my hand, no questions were asked.
This is what she said about my personality:
Deborah only does appointments. She can be reached at 570-595-2792

This is what she said about my personality:
- Frail immune system - could have been the fact that I had a whirldind summer and did not have a chance to rest.
- I was in the teaching profession - Being a librarian I do some teaching
- My position suits me
- Parents are proud of me
- Always wanting to help everyone else before myself
- Nervous and hyper type
