Turf Wars

Pulling into my neighborhood I saw some children I babysit for were selling lemonade. Deciding to give them my business and have a quick chat with their mother, I grabbed a dollar and headed across the street. I spent several minutes chatting with my neighbor and sipping "Fresh Squeezed" Lemonade. Suddenly three other kids appeared, claiming they were selling lemonade down the road for less. The oldest child, an old Montessori student from my first teacher's aide job, was surprised to see me. I felt the same way. His sister suggested bringing up their lemonade stand to sell from the opposite sidewalk. This made the children I babysit for really upset. They starting yelling at the other kids and the two adults (myself and the mother) had to break them up. The little boy looked up at me and said "Is that even legal?"

*blink* I had to stifle my laughter and I noticed the mother on the verge of cracking up as well. It was the cutest thing ever. Certainly made my day so far, considering I am now at my part-time job and the only time I have sat down today was to eat lunch. I feel so tired and I hoping for a quiet night. Oh well, I better pay attention just in case a customer appears. Wish me luck!

Always,
Becca

Intro

Hello all!
So this is my first blog in a long time and I am not sure what to write. I am a twenty-six year old woman who recently got engaged! My fiance and I are planning our wedding for June 6th, 2009 and I am already busy planning and looking for dresses online. We have the flowers and DJ picked out and sometime soon we have a meeting with a photographer. Probably mid-September to early October I will physically go try on wedding dresses. Hm..what else? I am in a love-hate relationship with my job. I work as a special education aide and some days are a joy and others are hell. I also work a seasonal job at a local game company. I love that job because I am a bit nerdy and still enjoy a good board game on a rainy day to doing anything else. Although I do enjoy video games, writing poetry/stories/etc, and READING. I love books and am always looking for new authors/genres to get into. Any suggestions are welcome.

I will probably use this blog to vent about my full-time job or post my writing. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions on my writing as well. My life long dream is to be a published author and I want people to enjoy my creative works.

Okay, there is a student pacing behind me...waiting for his break on the computer. I will write more later if I get a chance. I am going to try to keep a daily log...even if it is just a short note.

Have a nice day!
