A (nearly) daily update for my wonderful family!

First blog

Welcome y'all! :)

I decided to copy Josh (Hinckley) and make one of these journals for my family. Yup, that's you, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Nana, Poppy, Granddaddy, or whoever else wants to keep updated on what's going on over here. I probably will forget to update it every day, but I'll try to keep it posted with all the important stuff. I think that there's a button to click somewhere on the page that allows you to leave comments after you read the post, so feel free to do that!

I woke up at 9:30 today, and I absolutely cannot get my hair to lay flat. It's got so much volume that Farrah Fawcett would be jealous. That aside, I still really like the cut, and the color has gotten so many compliments. Thanks, Mom!

Today I have two classes, English and Sociology. I really like English but Sociology is not my favorite. The professor is nice and all, but I find it very hard to pay attention in that class. I better work on that, since we have a test on Monday (maybe on Wednesday?). Hooray, I've got some studying to do!

The job hunt still hasn't gotten very far, but I am calling and applying at The Children's Place today. It's a fashionable clothing store for kids. I think it'd be fun to work there. I also want to apply at Bath and Body Works. Yesterday, Emily landed a job at Wild Adventures. She'll be working in "Customer Service," which I take to mean that she'll be making those ID cards for people or maybe selling tickets. At least she's not cleaning toilets! I'm not thrilled with having to drive over to Valdosta to work, but Mom made the point that if I can schedule long days instead of shorter ones, it won't be as bad. That way, I can get in a good chunk of work with less driving. Anywho, wish me luck!

I guess that's about all I know for now, but start checking this daily for updates! I'll try to post entries by 5 p.m. so if you check after that time, there will probably be something new up here. No promises, though! I'm a busy girl!

I love you all,
Dixie Jean

This is something so new to me. I love what you are doing. Hope I know how to keep up with you. Everything sounds good from you. I just talked to Sherri McMillian in Dr. Beverly's office. You said you are always upbeat. I was over there for a checkup on a problem. When I said to her "you sound happy today" Her reply was "I woke up today!" She is always happy, too. Does your heart good to be around somebody like that!!
I will be waiting for all your updates, whenever you get them out. Loving you makes me happy, too. Good luck on your job hunting. Grandma

Hope your Monday blues (headache) have left you by now, the day is all most over. Been looking for your blogs in the wrong places, typical, huh? Finally gave it some real thought and found your updates today. Congrats on your phy. test. Did you get over to baby sit? Russ picked me up and we went to a tennis match and then a soccer tournament game, so I had a busy afternoon too Sunday). Hope your week is a great one. Loved the pictures. Send more, like the ones when you were
with dad maybe. When you teach me to do that I will send you some.
Bye for today. G.M.

Sure am glad I don't room with you and Emily. Would not be able to sleep, but it is unusual that you both talk to each other in your sleep. Guess having been friends for so long accounts for some of that!!!! G.M.

+I thought you had decided not to do this since I haven't seen anything for so long. I know you are busy, but tonight I had you on my mind, especially since the senseless killings in Va. and am praying for your safety.TCCHS girls won region in tennis(girls), then the boys won second with W.S. and Harrison winning the last match. They are playing no. 1 doubles. They have hardly played together and they are really getting good. Pretty good for a ninth grader and tenth grader. Love you. G.M.
