Love, Marriage, and Jobs

It's been a little while since I last posted an entry. I feel like my life has been spun around in a blender and spat back out at me. After my last entry, I went to a wedding. It was a beautiful day. I saw my friend (and favorite waitress) Lisa get married to a man who must be one of the only few good ones in the world (at least that's how he sounds from everything Lisa's told me). They had a football wedding at a local bar here in town and for the most part of the day we sat around talking and drinking and having a blast. She was beautiful and so happy.

Someday I hope to find a love that is as strong as the one that Lisa and John have. They are so happy with each other and content to spend the rest of their lives together. I've pretty much stopped looking for someone to be with because the majority of men that I meet have been complete dogs--only looking for one thing (and I refuse to give it up straight away). I figure that if I don't look for the ever-illusive "Mr. Right" then maybe, just maybe, *he* will find me. It's just a theory that I am trying out for a little while.

Anyways, I got home and my dad went off on me about staying out all night and not having a full-time job and such. I'm sorry, but it's not like I don't already have a job right now. Granted, it's only part-time, and I do need a full-time job, but I have been looking. I've applied at a number of places. I have a degree and license to teach school, but none of the schools around here are hiring, and even if I got on, there is no guarantee that I will have a job for next school year. So, today, because I was so upset, I applied for about twenty jobs. I just hope that one will come through. I don't know, but we'll see.

Well, I'm about to head off to bed and catch a few zzzz's before work tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day than today. I don't know, but I can hope.
