Introduction and update

Update: So I thought I would try wordpress for my new blog and I hate it.  Nothing is where it should be and it's ridiculously difficult to navigate.  So I'm back on blogger under a new title.  The old one is going away.

I created a new blog with a different blog site because my BlogSpot site is just old and no one reads it.  So I’m revamping my blog writing in hopes of talking about more specific subjects and hopefully gaining some readers.  Of course, there will likely be ramblings of nothingness too.  It’s not in my nature to not be random. 
So, for any potential new readers who may not know me well, and those who haven’t heard from me in a while, here is a synopsis of me and where I am in life:
I’m 29 years old, single, working, and still trying to find my place in this world.
I’m a quiet type, shy (still working on that), introverted, and a bit sarcastic at times.  But, I like me that way.
After getting my Associates degree in Elementary Education and having entirely too much trouble (for various reasons, mainly money) finding a school to finish that degree, and deciding that our education system is completely out of whack and LOTS of friends and family have left teaching because of it, I decided to go for the medical field.   So I graduated from Surgical Technology school last June.  It was a tough program, but totally “do”able.  I still plan on finishing my degree, but not in education.  I still have time to decide if/when I want to go back to school.  Anyway, so I graduated in June and landed a job in July at a dermatology clinic super close to where I live.  I’ve been there for 8 months now and I’m loving it!  I know more about dermatology than I ever thought I would, and trust me, I am still learning a lot about it all the time.  So basically my job is to assist in surgery (Mondays through Wednesdays) in treating skin cancer, and assisting in clinical appointments (think your typical doctor’s office visits) in skin cancer screenings/skin checks the rest of the week.  Basically I do “nurse-y” stuff.
I’m a runner.  I love to run.  It’s a hobby I gained after moving to NWA almost 9 years ago.  I enjoy it because it relieves stress, it’s healthy, and I compete with myself.  I love outdoorsy activities like hiking, camping, or being on a boat on a body of water somewhere.  I try to get artsy and attempt to paint on canvases, but I’m not very good at that.  Good thing God created “Painting with a Twist.”  Seriously, if you haven’t gone, GO!  So fun and relaxing.  I love sports.  I’m much, MUCH better at watching them than I am at playing them.  In football season I’m an Oklahoma Sooners kind of gal, and in basketball season it’s all about the Kansas Jayhawks.  Don’t judge me too harsh now.
So there you have it.  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.  Also, I like smiley faces. 
Not sure what or when my next post will be, but hopefully I will be a little more consistent in writing in this new blog.
