Welcome to 2011!!!

I know it's a bit late but being without a computer has taken it's toll on my punctuality. I have several new changes already lined up for this year... some are really good... some are hopefuls and some are a bit sad. First... I still have my job and am just about caught up with all of my training which will secure said job for the next year... I am still loving my job just as much as I did the first week I started almost two years ago... wow... I have found out that there is always something to learn about my clients and I am having a blast figuring out each sweet personality I have been put in charge with throughout the year.

I may have a side job designing website backgrounds and templates here pretty soon. Thanks largely to my dad's new girlfriend. This job just may be my saving grace... up to a thousand dollars per page can be mine. I am really excited to get the internship and start doing something substantial with my artwork. Terry( the girlfriend) says she thinks I have more promise and potential than most of the graduate students who come in looking for a midlevel job. She likes my sense of composition and balance of color and is excited to teach me how to do coding and all the ins and out of web design... so I am keeping my fingers crossed on that and hoping for the best.

Phoebe will be having her baby in a couple of weeks and then is moving back to Washington with her mother... this time for good. I don't like this change... it feels a bit like a chapter of my life is ending and it's one that has been going for 14 years... it will be hard to see her go but I know she needs to... so on that note... I wish her well and hope that it doesn't completely alter our dynamic.
