Under Pressure

I've been sort of a big ball of stress lately. I'm fairly sure I'm leaving my job for other pursuits, I just haven't figured out the other pursuit yet. I'm currently fairly far along in the interview process with 3 companies which is nice that I'll have choices if somebody ever offers me a job the whole process just seems to take so long. One of the jobs is in my home town. They are flying us out next week to check it out. I'm excited that Tim can meet people so near and dear to my heart and I can show him what a rockin town it is (Hey, even Money Magazine agrees with me). We have a few friends out here but no real base I'm looking forward to the possiblitiy of family nearby and also going back to school and get my masters and Tim could go for a PhD if he wanted. New stuff, but very stressful. Moving always is. Especially the cross country types of moves.

I feel it in my fingers

It's getting close to this magical holiday season. Can you feel it in the air? Thanksgiving is a time to think on what we are most thankful for in our lives so in no particular order these are my top ten things I am thankful for:

1. God's love - I all too often take this for granted but I am so happy to know that I don't live a life void of purpose or direction, I am so grateful that God loves me and has a plan for my life.
2. My friends and family - no matter how far away they are.
3. My wonderful boyfriend, Tim
4. That I'm going home for Christmas.
5. That I have passed my first 3 tests for work - all on the first try.
6. That I have a Brande that complicates me.
7. That Kelly and I are going to Disney World in January 2009.
8. Taco Flavored Doritos - that the exist and that you can't buy them in California so I can't eat them very often.
9. Anti-depressants - for people with Depression (like me) they really do a world of good.
10. Pierre - the neighbor cat that I just named and fell in love with and I'm glad he comes over to see us lots since I can't have a puppy.

Strawberry patches and do overs

Backstory:
My name is not Alyce. This is not my first blog. Recently it had come to my attention that my old blog had begun attaching my first and last name to my blog. Being a fan of anonymity, I deleted my old blog and decided to start fresh. Starting new though can be a lot of fun.

Currently:
I graduated from college in December. Transferred out to California with my college job, and am still currently looking for a “real” job that applies to the degree I have. I just moved again to a new bright cheery house. I live with my boyfriend and many spiders that like to come in from our garden. I’m still trying to get settled into living in California and into my new house (we are currently researching how to grow strawberries so we can add them to the snap peas and figs we already have in the garden.)
Other than that I like the color purple and still listen to Amy Grant (among other things) I love Disney World (I used to work there) and I’m still completely bummed out that Taco flavored Doritos cannot be purchased in California.
