Been M.I.A., but I'm still here!

Hello ladies and gents. It's ya girl, Untouched Jewel in the building! Where do I begin?

Well, to start I celebrated my 29th birthday on the 5th. That's right y'all, I turned another year older. It's a trip how some people (no, wait let me take that back), I mean most people refuse to get older or look forward to getting older. Not me. Actually, I think I appreciate getting older, because I somewhat hated high school, and college was a little too much (hence me getting pregnant, sort of). Anywho, my most of my 20's were nothing more than a turbulent period of my life. Having to go into that age range with a child, trying to discover me in some form or another, and then going through an illness at 23 years old (that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy if I tried).

I honestly believe that my 30's will be a much better time period for me to really be focused and have my head on straight like I should. Some of this monkey business going on these days is for the birds. What I could do in my early 20's ain't what I can do now. I don't have the same time and tolerance for foolishness like I did. At some point I did that once, and found myself really jaded when circumstances and people (I won't mention any names) decided they wanted to move on and believe they did it for "better" (whatever that is supposed to be). LOL. Truth be told, I still don't understand it, but I guess it's not meant for me to understand, so I'm done on it all.

In other news, I'm still working at the job I got back in April, despite the economic downturn here in California. God is good! I've been praying and asking God to pull me through to obtaining a more permanent position at my job to where I receive benefits for myself and children, but also receive a much better pay. Don't get it twisted, I don't do my job for free. But one thing is for certain, it's so much better than being unemployed. I'm just glad that I have a job to go to
Aight y'all, before I go, I have one question to leave for the fellas to ponder on: WHY ARE Y'ALL SOME UNSTABLE CREATURES? WHY DO YOU DO THE DUMB STUFF Y'ALL DO? Prime example: leaving your 80% for 20, and convincing yourself that you are getting more with the 20%, when you are really getting even less?

Okay, that's all folks....
Until Next Post,
Peace and Blessings,
Untouched Jewel
