Reality TV Update

Yes, I am a reality tv junkie. I think I'm getting better since I no longer watch MTV's Real World or VH1's Surreal Life. But I do follow the following shows and thought I'd share with you the results and my thoughts :)

America's Next Top Model - Winner: Danielle (glad she won, was a good person and took great pictures)
American Idol - Winner: Taylor Hicks (glad he won, I actually liked him from the start and was surprised he made it so far. Go Soul Patrol!!)
Top Chef - Winner: Harold (He rocks)
Apprentice - Final Two: Lee and Sean (I will be voting for Sean, he's cool. Lee is a politician and annoying)

I didn't watch Survivor but I know the winner was Aras, I have no clue if he deserved the million dollars.

'Til next season...

Happy Happy

Happy Birthday, Beckie!

I'm having a nice day because L has called in sick today. It is quiet and I can do work if I feel like it or I can just put it off until tomorrow :)

No leads on the job front yet. I think I will find out about any possibilities this week. I also was given a name of some one at Compuware as a contact. I sent my resume, so now I just wait.

Apple Jacks

Just a couple updates to share:

1) I was in Chicago this past weekend with two friends from high school. They are the only two people I keep in touch with from HS and they are both married. It was fun, we were able to all get away from our day-to-day annoyances (is that even a word??). Anyway, we ate at the Cheesecake Factory, went to the aquarium and Navy Pier and did some shopping on Michigan Ave. We didn't go out to any bars because Friday was a long day of travel and Saturday we walked all day long. I will say it was a little strange not going out. I know if I was with Sarah we would hit the bars dispite any tired legs or sore feet :) I didn't mind though. I quite enjoy being lazy on the weekends, especially when I'm on vacation.

2) I am in the process of looking for a new job. Most likely I will easily find a new adminstrative position with the same company - I have a good reputation and I will get a good recommendation from L. But I'm not totally ruling out going somewhere else if an opportunity presents itself. I'm actully looking forward to the change. I felt swamped everyday and didn't see any relief in sight. But in gaining a new manager, I will be able to have a normal admin job with will allow me to work normal hours and make time for school. We are aiming for me to have a new job by July 1.

3) I applied to Baker College. I will be going back to school for sure in the fall. Baker College has several campuses, one right in Clinton Township. I still have to make my final decision what I'm going back for. The options being - finish my Bachelors degree in Business Administration or go back into Surgical Technology. I'm not sure yet, but am leaning towards ST. I kind of reget not finishing it the first time around, so I think I want to finish that and get into a career that I will truly enjoy.

The Da Vinci Code

Does anybody have a copy I could borrow? I'd like to read it before I see the movie.
Thanks :)

Blog Monster

Well, I wrote a long post to tell you about my trip to SF with my mom, but the blog monster ate it. When and where will he strike next? Only time will tell...
