I'm BAAAAAAACK!!

Well, it has been a long, long time since I have posted on my own blog! It took a while for me to remember how to do this, but, ta-daa, here it is. So, what has been happening here on the North Coast since January 2005? There has been a lot going on, but I won't bore you with the mundane details. I will skip to the exciting stuff. Ok, that's done! Seriously, I started my new job yesterday and I am conflicted about that. I am glad to be working again, but I feel like a fish out of water. In case you don't know, I am now managing a jewelry store. Jewelry is not in my background other then as a consumer, so as a professional I am totally a "Diamond in the rough." (Pun intended) I am used to being a leader and very successful at my endeavors and as of now I know virtually nothing, so I am feeling somewhat useless. I hate that feeling. I know it has only been 2 days (2 twelve hour days) but I want to know more then I do and I want to be able to assist customers in the manner that I feel they deserve to be taken care of. I know it will happen. I also completed 2 chapters in my training to become a Certified Diamontologist, so that was cool. Many more to go!! Then I get to become a certified Gemologist! Woo-Hoo! I also made my first purchase today too - a new watch! Yahoo! Well my friends, by my new watch, I can see it is getting late and I have another early day tomorrow. I am not used to working! I had a 5 week retirement this summer and I have been Un-retired in a big way this week! Not to mention I totally need my beauty sleep. You would know that if you knew me personally!!
Good night and I will update again soon (if I can still remember how I did this)
