It's taken about this long for both jobs to smooth out for me. I'm spending all of my time at either place or at home, just eating and sleeping, etc. Gotta love the life of labor... :)

But I wish that I had a million things to write about. All I can think of at the moment is that I'm going to move into an apartment soon. I don't really see much of my family, anymore, because we're all so busy, but I knew that it would happen...oh well.

In the meantime, you guys can check out a graphic that I made using Windows Paint and some converted hexadecimal information. It looks like something you might find in Home Depot's paint department.

Have a great week, though, and I'll be back when I can!

Okay, so the tension in my last post was about keeping or losing my current job, which was only part time and seasonal (I thought), but now it looks like they're going to keep me around, so I'm still employed, and on top of that (to kick off February, I guess): Another employer has called me in for an interview! So depending on the outcome, I may have enough money to get an apartment, which is very exciting. Thank You Lord!

I've just been working and playing since my last post, though, waiting to find out what would happen; I'm barely together, but Jesus is a sure foundation.

Other projects going on - Collecting shells from the beach and coating them with clear acrylic (how fun!), making a praise and worship dvd for my brother and his wife/family, and taking random stuff to the thrift store (never ends, haha), etc.

I'm just trying to stay busy...for pay or leisure or whatever. Someone needs to knock me out and force me to relax, though! :) Let's be still and know that He is God.

* Update 2-4-10...

The company is hiring me! I've never had two jobs before (at the same time), but this will be awesome! Here's a few songs/videos to celebrate:

1. Holy God (Brian Doerksen)

2. You Deserve (Hillsong United)

3. Holding Nothing Back (Jesus Culture)

I'm very interested in the second half of this month; I'll tell you why when it's over...

I'm coming into this one with way too much curiosity...

2009 was H-A-R-D; mostly my fault, but that's why I'm curious.

So how about we calm down to Jim Brickman on the piano (sidebar stream)?

The company didn't call me back for a second interview, so another person must have been selected; that's good for them. :)

My whole family should be here in a few days, though...I can probably stop thinking about work for a little while.

BIG REMINDER to the Saints and the Ain'ts - Jesus Christ is the Christ in Christmas.

Let's have a good one!

I've been working a lot and I had another interview, today. The opportunity could potentially replace my current job, which is only seasonal, but I'll let you guys know what happens with that.

I've also decided to update my sidebar, if you can tell. I found a better version of the translation widget (supports more languages), and added a new section for streaming music.

I thought that I would feature 3 different artist's Christmas albums leading up to Dec. 25th; a few days per feature, and the first group is really special to me...

I discovered them while I was in High School - 10 years ago! They've been around for at least that long or more, and their sound is unique, but if you guys would like to listen to an album other than what I've put up there, just request it in the comments and I'll give you a link for it.

The service that I'm using is called, "Lala," which was recently acquired by Apple, so their stock should be similar to iTunes; it's a lot of free music. :)

If they ever discontinue the service, though, I'll just remove the section. Enjoy!

* You'll have to clear out your browsing history after each listen if you plan on listening more than once, because they cut the songs to 30-second clips using cookies.

I've actually worked two shifts, already, but I wanted to wait to post about it.

I might be relocating to Foley before or around 2010, depending on various circumstances. There's a new(er) apartment complex that has my attention; their rates are good and it's close to everything (Church, work, store, etc.).

Quick change of subject, though...I saw the cutest, little field mouse while walking in the park the other day. It was right on my path and I almost missed it. It was like a tiny ball of fur that started hopping away from me. I could've caught it if I tried, but I didn't want to risk being bitten or pooped on, ha. I mean, if a giant tried to pick me up, I would probably start pooping, too, so... :)

It's a great day and I'm about to take a nap. I was just checking in! If I'm not back before Thanksgiving, you guys have a wonderful time with your family and friends, and I'll talk to you later.
