I'll Add a Good Title Later...Maybe

Congratulate me: I have completed two more of my 12X2012 goals!! (link coming later)

• Finish my first year working at JoAnn's

Goal reached on September 20th.
It's been an interesting year, mostly good. Quite often I'm exhausted by the time I get home, occasionally people there (99% customers) make me mad, but I'm thankful for the money and the experiences this job has given me.

• Ride my green bike down the Hill of No Return/Great-Granddaddy of All Hills

Done. With my brother and three friends on...I think it was October 3rd.
The fields were gorgeous with the trees starting to change colours out there. The weather was in the low 70*s, which is perfect for biking in, if the sun is out.
We took about an hour and a half to go down, around a loop to the Big Hill, and then back home (I really should find out how many miles that was--once I do find out I'll let you know). There were cranes of some sort in a partially-harvested field of corn, and woolybear caterpillars, and a good stretch of road almost covered with run-over snakes. =( I was hoping for a live one in the midst of all that carnage, but there wasn't one. *sigh*
(I've always wanted to run across--or almost across and then stop before actually CROSSING it--a snake while out on a bike ride. So I can stop and go all Steve Irwin over it. ;)
It was a lovely bike trip, and I hope I have one more chance to go out on my lovely green bike before the weather turns nasty at the end of the week! (And yes, I used 'lovely' twice in the same sentence. Geddoverit.)

I'm on the library computer right now, so I'm running out of time tonight. I'll add pictures and links and such when I get home and an copy-and-paste them in. Can you imagine that? A computer with no copy-and-paste abilities? Sad, isn't it.

(I fixed all that now. :)

The Other Day...

The other day, I figured out that if I found a job that pays minimum wage (just over $7/hour), and that job gave me 3 hours, 5 days a week, I would make $100 every week, minus $10 tithe. $90 a week times 4 weeks is $360 dollars per month. Times 12 months in a year equals $4,320 each year. I know that's not much to all of you who make more than that, but someone like me, who only gets $5 per week, I'd say that $4,000 is a bit more.
Any guesses as to what I'd do with the first $200 I earn? (Just for the sake of fun, let's say that I'm going to use that two-hundred right away, shall we?) One of those small laptops they show in the commercials. Yeah, it's smallish, but it'd be mine. No more "get off, it's my turn," no more "but you need to get off because I have schoolwork..." More blogging, more chatting with friends, more emails.....ahhhhhh.
If only I could find that job.....
