I do not get a lot of free time, but when I do, I am a creative person. Most people enjoy working out, reading, or hanging out with friends for fun, but I am a little different. I like being alone and escaping from my busy lifestyle around people. I enjoy sitting down and pulling out all of my scrapbooking paper and stamps and continuing my childhood memories scrapbook or making a card for a good friend. I get carried away doing this and hours will pass before I realize I need to get back to doing things that should be done. I find coming up with unique designs and greetings is relaxing, but entertaining at the same time because you never know whose day you can make with a simple greeting card.

I would love to sit down with my family and have a nice home cooked meal. However, recently being on vacation and being on the go and traveling during the evening hours, dinners have had to be quick and easy. Driving through various fast food joints has been my way of getting dinner recently. I have had McDonalds, Lion’s Choice, and Burger King for dinner at least four out of the seven days this week. I am not a fan of fast food and I have been trying to choose the healthier options offered on the menus, but I still do not enjoy the food.

Thankfully, neither of my parents have lost their jobs and I have not lost mine either. I have had my hours cut back immensely at work, but I am still making enough money to support myself. However, working in retail during the recession makes me ask every day, “Why are people still spending oodles of money?” Working in an upscale boutique, there are not many cash savvy options offered to our customers. Our clothing is pricey and buying two pieces will set you up to spend over $100. I see many women come into the store and hear them talking about how their husbands hours have been cut or how he has taken a pay cut because of the recession and they do not work, but they are still spending hundreds of dollars for clothes, they say they don’t even need, but they can’t pass up buying it because it is so nice.

I made myself some scrambled eggs and sat down to eat them while watching the Today Show. After relaxing a little I decided I should start my day and began cleaning my room. While cleaning I began thinking about my future career in Interior Design and what opportunities I might have with a career in that field. Of course, I hope to make lots of money, but I could not find many options when surfing the web. I am an artsy person and found other ways I could apply my design degree while surfing the internet for ideas. I am interested in scrapbooking and stamping and am going to start documenting my work today and try and start my own scrapbooking and stamping business eventually.

Well, neither have I! I got married in January, 2010 to a wonderful man. We had a ‘small’ and simple wedding with just family and friends. I did regret inviting those friends though, because they ragged us so bad during the reception! Well, jokes aside, we had an awesome time. I always thought a wedding was a sober affair, but I think we proved that wrong! We had so much of fun laughing, dancing and just enjoying with the people who matter the most. We came back to ‘the real life’ and its routine soon after the wedding, but that day still gives me so much of joy, just to think about it.

It is a quiet neighbourhood and I have lived here for two years now. It is not usual for everyone in the neighbourhood to know each other so well, but where I live, everyone is friends. Come summer or winter, some of us all take trips out together, visit the lake, go out on picnics and just have fun together. Life is pretty slow here, not like in the big cities I have heard about. I love this place for the people and for nature that is so untouched here. The trees, the flowers, the clear skies, all these have a place in my heart.

There are no formals or casuals; just clothes. Today I was in a very ‘casual’ mood. I woke up feeling too lazy to go to work. As I fished through my wardrobe for clothes, I guess I naturally gravitated towards the most ‘unofficial’ outfit available. It was my soccer team t-shirt. I like the look of it. It is white with some dark blue stripes and has my team name across the back. I picked up my blue jeans to go with the tee and put them on. Yup! That is what I call ‘comfort-wear’!

If you ask me what I’d want the most in the world, well, it would be to live in some beautiful, peaceful place in the world, surrounded by the most amazing sights. A house in the woods, near a mountain or by a lake – it is hard to choose my perfect home. I’d love to wake up to the sound of flowing water or birds chirping in the trees. So I guess if I could have anything in the world, it would be a house in some place like this.

It was per chance that one of my friends had come to town and he informed me about his presence I the town, I immediately invited him for dinner. He came for the dinner on the past weekend along with a girl. Later on I came to know that the girl was his daughter, I talked to my son about this girl, the girl is really well read and good looking, and now my son has agreed to marry this girl and I and my wife are really very happy.

These days the world is divided into two segments, one is rich and other is poor. The rich have so much of money that they can do any damn thing using their money power, but there are scores of people who do not have access to quality food, health care and even proper shelter. I know, it would not be possible for me to make a drastic change in the system, but yes I would like to change one thing that is no poor sleeps hungry.
