Did you miss me???

     Well, the answer to the question asked in the title of this blog is:  Probably not, seeing as how nobody follows this blog.  I took some time off from blogging, just because I wanted to, and now I'm back at it again!  So here are a few recent developments to keep the 0 people that follow this blog up to date:  I have been working about 5 months at a temporary position and finally got an offer to stay on in a more permanent capacity last week!  This turn of events sparked a serious look into my housing options and I found a great deal on a nice little place.  In fact I was just approved today and I move in on the 30th!!!  So that's the update on the job and apartment front.  I have also been busy with my personal life.  I've been seeing someone for about 2 months now, and it is going great.  We actually met while we were in school, and have known each other since.  There is definitely something to be said for knowing a person several years before getting romantically involved.
     Things seem to be coming together in my life, slowly but surely!  Still getting non-stop calls from the credit card companies that don't want to listen to a word you say unless it's about an amount that you can pay them TODAY!  They really frustrate me and I've actually given up trying to communicate with them until I am at a point financially where I can handle it.  I'm getting there, but it probably won't be until the beginning of 2011 that I am able to start tackling all that debt.  I'm confident that I'm going to eventually get this taken care of, without having to file for bankruptcy or do anything else drastic.  It is definitely something that takes time, so as long as you go step by step, you will eventually see the light.
     On a different note, I had a dance gig over Halloween.  I was asked to perform with a group for this huge party Downtown the Friday before Halloween.  The entire experience was great and I met a lot of great dancers.  I definitely am going to have to start taking some classes soon!
     Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which also means Christmas is near as well!  I can't believe this year has gone by so fast, of course I think I say that every year! LOL  I am very much looking forward to the family all coming up to my sister's in a week.  We always have such a great time.  The entire week is filled with conversation, laughing, food, cheeseball (yes, this is separate from food), football, and of course MONOPOLY!  It's a family tradition going back as long as I can remember that the entire family gets in on a big 3 hour (at the least) game of Monopoly.  Even the kids get to play, it's just a lot of fun!  I can't wait!

What are some of your favorite family traditions around the holidays???
