I'm Still Standing (" "2014 is the Year of the Diva Dominating" Designing Divinely (to my) Destiny)

View my world through my rainbow colored glasses! This is real - I could not make this stuff up! ;) Despite life's obstacles I'm positively moving forward the best I can. I share My World with you so you can understand "Life is NOT a chore!" Enjoy it! Besides, I like being me too much!

Yeah Team!

I'm excited to finally say . . . . I got the job I wanted with Team Estrogen!!! I got the call yesterday morning after (finally) getting the call from a vending company I applied to over a month ago! The vending company wanted me to come in for an interview tomorrow. Anyway, I now get paid a great salary and benefits along with a discount. I also get paid commuter bucks for using my bike and MAX to get to work. SWEET!! Causal work attire in a small (but growing) internet company run by a couple that is very laid back. The hours are great too Monday through Friday 8am-4:30pm. I'm going into a new position they have made that fits me perfect. Customer service rep. Especially dealing with customer returns/ exchanges/ problems.

I'm really excited by all of this and it means I will be able to take care of my boys! We can move to NW Portland (where we all want to live) and be our little family unit. YES!
