Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!

It has come to my attention that I am quite negative on my blog. I realized this today. I went to another person's blog and was astounded. It is beautiful and made me happy. Then she looked at mine. So, of course, I had to read through my blog to see what she read, and I was not impressed! I whine a lot!!! Also, most of my blog is written in a "language" only my friends understand. LOTS of room for adding my personality in so that I don't look so shallow!! I am sarcastic and compassionate people! I laugh at myself a LOT and I expect others to, as well! I need to start showing that! (Well, more so the compassionate part!) I forget that not everybody sees me as an open book. I totally am! So, here's a happy blog, with some clarifications. (If she ever decides to come back!!!)


Clarification #1. (I am hugely self-diagnosed OCD and I must categorize, organize, and label everything! You should see my notes from school - it's quite funny.) I am not just wanting the job in Alaska for the benefits - that is just an added bonus! I always told my mother that if I didn't live in Iowa all my life - I would be in Colorado or Alaska. Mountains and snow ROCK! Both my mother and I have been to Colorado and I was thrilled, she was not. I am sooooooo excited about going and experiencing the whole world of Alaska! I laughed when I read that it was a small town of 3,000 people! Ha! The town I grew up in was 400 on a good day. (pretty sure they counted the dogs, too!)


Clarification #2. I love my job! I really do. It's just taxing at times and this is the best place to let that go. Taking it out on my fellow co-workers would just make them upset, too, and everybody would have a bad day. So, I smile, say thank-you for everything, and secretly blog my frustrations in a comical way to you people! Please don't take them to heart! I decided to work in health care because I have a terrible passion for helping people. Passion, burden, same thing! (There's that sarcasm again! :) I enjoy what I do and I am glad to be a small part of a bigger picture! Sometimes I just loose sight of the big picture and start to drown in the small one. Anybody relate??? I'm sure not!


Clarification #3. I know proper English quite well. I just don't care.


Clarification #4. I have no idea what is proper blog etiquette. I probably never will. So, as in the non-virtual reality, I apologize ahead of time for being ignorantly rude. It happens a lot, deal with it or not. (see previous blog - DDR and afn - foot-in-mouth syndrome)



Clarification #5. I have an obsessive personality and a short attention span. Lori told me she finds this refreshing! Since everything is all about Lori, and we all know this, what she says - goes. I have always found it to be a burden, as have most people who know me. I am pleased that somebody likes it. She almost made me cry when she told me that!

Clarifica - Speaking of a short attention span - I'm done.
