Are You Worth More than Minimum Wage?
I've had many jobs. I can't even remember some of the jobs I've had. One year I had 7 W-4's come in the mail, plus I had some under the table tutoring gigs that I didn't account for.
There have been times where I would get paid and all my money went straight to bills and I'd barely have anything left over for food/gas/whatever. I'd think to myself "I'm worth more than what they are paying me."
I was wrong. More Here... -
4 Steps To Mending A Broken Heart
Do you ever wonder why it hurts so much when love is lost?
The art of romance is to give your heart without fear. When it breaks, you become lost with only pieces that remain. It’s a journey of rediscovery and reassembly, as your hands bleed with each piece.
To mend a broken heart is a process of healing, while emotional wounds are akin to physical. Some say it’s best to keep busy, but at the end, the hurt remains. Rid the poisons that linger, instead of using a temporary fix. It’s about standing tall, even when the world crumbles before your eyes.
Step One
Cut all forms of communication. It gives a sense of connection, and getting over requires its removal. More Here...New Year's Resolutions
2010 is creeping up on us, and contrary to popular belief, we are starting a new decade!! Do you know what that means? That means that our "New Year's Resolutions" have to be EXTRA SPECIAL! More Here...
R.I.P. Brittany Murphy
"Cher, I don't want to do this anymore. And my buns: they don't feel nothin' like steel." - Brittany Murphy's Tai, Clueless.
I think it’s just devastating that I’m writing about death. It’s sad enough when people die of old age but Brittany Murphy is dead at thirty two? It just doesn’t make much sense.While there are tons of rumors flying around about the cause of death, I’d much rather take the time to focus on Murphy’s career as an actress. She may not have been an “it girl” these past few years but her resume is still pretty impressive. No one can deny how talented Brittany Murphy was. More Here...XangaSecret: Volume I & Volume II
Wow, us Xangans sure have a lot of secrets! As of this moment I'm writing this, I've received 90+ secrets and counting. I will definitely have enough secrets to make many more videos in the future, so this will indeed be a regular thing I'll be doing from now on.
I will attempt to make a video every week. Since I'll be on vacation next week, I decided I will bring you all not one, but two videos this week! Between the two videos, I handpicked 40 secrets to be showcased in video form. Don't fret if you submitted a secret but didn't see it today. I'm keeping track of all the secrets that have been sent in, so your secret may very well appear in the next installment (trust me, I'm saving some of the really good ones for next time!).
Since this is a continuous project I'm working on, feel free to keep on sending in secrets to me. If you don't know how to submit a secret, please refer back to the original entry for instructions. You can either leave your anonymous secret on this entry or on the original one.
Alright, here we go! More Here...Encounter with a Kidnapper
The only other thing I feared as a child besides baths, vegetables, wolves, and Veggie Tales were kidnappers. My general understanding of them was that they knew information about you that they shouldn't know, they approached you in the disguise of someone familiar and lie about what they're doing, and they took you away. I didn't know where they took you. They just took you.
Charles Lindberg's baby was kidnapped. They left the window open one night and the baby was gone. I remember thinking about leaving the window open some nights when I was cranky.
As for kidnappers, I thought they only existed in movies until stories of some kids in our suburb surfaced on the news. It meant I couldn't stay outside too late. My parents weren't too fond of me bike riding too long on the sidewalk anymore. I didn't really comprehend much else beyond that.
Christmas was normally the time news reports of disappearances seemed extra grizzly.
It was around this time I had my first encounter with a kidnapper.
It was at the mall. I crawled up to Santa Claus's lap. The family took a photo. I didn't think much of it, but apparently, he knew my name. I didn't know him too well.
I learned more about Santa Claus through my connections at the local elementary. More Here...Wait Staff: How To Earn That 15%

Me: Today was the huge Christmas program.
Mom: did your kids behave?
Me: Overwhelming no. Not only misbehave, but misbehaved with attitude. My students' motto is "You're not the boss of me."
Mom : Did you still have to give them a Christmas party?
Me:Yes. Almost four hours of it. But there's a funny story.
Mom : Then, spill the beans.
Me: I was supposed to have 40 minutes with my students before sending them to lunch. (Little kids were having lunch first) So I had some party games and was going to explain some things we're doing in January. But in no way did I have any semblance of control over the class. And I realized that if I left the classroom, I still wouldn't be in control of it, but at least *I* wouldn't be in it.Me: So I went outside the classroom and stood outside and began crying. Just outside the door, so I could still hear what was going on, so if someone actually broke a leg, I could come in. After about 4 minutes, Ingrid opened the door and saw me.
Me: And slammed the door shut and shouted in Spanish "THE MISS IS CRYING!" More Here...
THINGS THAT ONLY SANTA CLAUSE CAN GET AWAY WITH!
With the ChristmaHanaKwanza holiday soon upon us, I know I will be too busy sending family members lumps of coal, evil stares, and restraining orders to remember to send out a nice seasonal blog to the Xanga community. So here is something I’ve been thinking about, things that only Santa can get away with doing:
1) Only Santa can “see you when you’re sleeping, and know when you’re awake”. When other people do it, it's called stalking. More Here...Why I Hate Being in a Relationship During the Holidays
The holiday season is a stressful time for everyone. With worrying about what to get your friends and family, it becomes extra stressful when trying to figure out what to get your SO. They don't want you to get them anything, but you know they're going to get you something so how can you not get them a present? It doesn't seem right does it?More Here...- browse entries:
