WORKING GIRL

So I just a started new job recently. This is actually my first job since I got married many moons ago.  The pay is terrible, and the hours are even worst but, I am grateful to have my job. Furthermore my decision to return to work was met with resistance but, the dust seems to be settling a bit...

Now that I am a "Working Girl" I've decided to set some mini financial plans for myself. These are all things that I want to have accomplished by January 1, 2012. Yes, yes I know I tend to set lofty goals but,  what can be done about it, I'm genetically predisposed to being dreamy. By the way these are not in any particular order, just things I'm gonna do.

1. Open an IRA
2. Save $2,000 (gmm)
3. Purchase a gold ankh
4. Purchase a netbook
5. Purchase a camera
6. Laser Hair Removal (yes ma'am I'm getting rid of it all)

PURSUIT OF EDUCATION

When folks tell me "but you're so smart, it's easy for you." I just have to laugh. I try to explain but, nobody ever listens. No I'm not some brainiac, quite the opposite actually. In elementary, junior high, high school, community college and university I've always earned 2.somethings gpa I can count on one hand how many times I've received a 3.0 gpa in my entire life. I never actually intended to go to college, heck I was surprised each time I managed to pass on to the next grade! But, what I do have is a consistent persistent work-ethic. This is the single most significant factor in my progression. Never ever will I ever quit. 

THE NATURAL TREND

Originally when I first went natural it was because I wanted to stand out, I wanted my hair to serve as an additional compliment to my uniqueness but, since natural hair has become the rave, I'm kinda getting over it. Although, I am happy that so many Divas are less dependent on chemicals, stylist, and weaves. I must admit, I miss being the only one is a room with thick-um twist or a big kinky bun. Ah well!
