Okay, so I wrote my first post on my lappy earlier and felt that it needed to be posted. Since I wrote it, I got a call from work that they want me back in town the week of Thanksgiving. YEAH! Coming home for some more family time/NE fall weather! Also, I started a little competition with my sister. She wants some motivation, so I am going to whup her but in a little workout challenge. We signed up for a free trainer program online and will compete to see how much better we can do. The P@n@r@ that I am at is across the street from my workout place.....
After dwelling long and hard about my previous post I started to feel better. I headed over to Panera and checked my emails and such. As I checked OMs musing about turning 30, I realized that I'm doing good, just like she did. Now, I always thought that I would have found Mr. Right by now and we would be getting married and thinking about kids. (I was a pre-med student, so I know the health benefits of having your first kid by 30....Silly to focus on, but there it is. Not to mention, if I wait until 35, my chances of multiple births increases exponentially. Like I need to increase the odds?!?)
As I get older, I have started making and/or goals. I am sending out applications for graduate school in January. I am applying for industrial/org. psychology. You know, consultants like The Bobs from Office Space? OR, if I am not accepted, I will live a few more years down here and probably head back to NE to attend the UNO program (I am much less enthusiastic about their program, but hey, I've heard it's good.)
Once I have my degree, I will seek out the Director of Research position at T+. OR, I just might find a new opportunity. (Negotiating salary is hard and there is a lot out there for I/O psychologists.
I always thought kids before 30, but since Mr. Right is not here, no kids. So, I can either wait for his appearance OR I would like to look into being a foster parent. I would travel back to NE before taking this on so they are offered the full family experience.
Life happens. Therefore, my goals are flexible. I like baskets so I may as well put my eggs in multiple baskets for that greate montage/chotchkie look!

An open mind leads to open doors. You are doing so well and I, among many others, am VERY proud of you. Keep it up!!
I just keep remembering Angie telling Scott how she accepted the fact that she would be single all of her life and then "Poof" Brett entered her life. All of the people in your life have had a purpose and you needed them then. I'm excited for you to experience the next step in your life. Be prepared! It will be awesome!!!! Most people just don't get your friendship. No strings attached, just be loyal. You are a rare jewel.[I know I tell you your "people picker" is broken but I also know all of those people were meant to be in your life- some day you'll know why.]Oops, I think I wrote a mommy email.staceysmom
You could be married in six months. So be careful what you wish for.
UNO rocks. (I'm kidding, but would love you in O-Town). Jay is attending their doctoral (?) program for education. He wants to be Dr. Jay. Dork.
There is no one Mr. Right. That's what I think. You just have to be sure that the person you choose to be with is right. And not wrong. You wouldn't want a Mr. Wrong just because you want a Mr. Ya know?
Also, Doug. If it will help to make contact. Do. If not, don't. I'm just sayin'. You're how many miles away??? Do what you want and go on with your bad self!
Hugs.
I'm so going to whip your butt. I Hefted some weights today. How bout you?
