  <title>Snow Me In</title>
  <link>http://femaleparadox.livejournal.com/2598.html</link>
  <description>Unfortunately, I&amp;nbsp;was obligated to call out of work today. I&amp;nbsp;know how bad it looks to call out within the first three months of a new job but my parents refused to drive, daycare was closed, and I have a total of 45 minutes to walk if I take the bus. Hopefully they understand, but I&amp;nbsp;guess I&amp;nbsp;will find out tomorrow. Why can&apos;t it just snow in the season it&apos;s supposed to? Apparently, the storm accumulation comes to six to ten inches which might be more snow than we got all Winter!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I called all three of the apartments that I have been looking at but they must have been snowed in as well. I left a message and hopefully will hear back soon. I am hoping for a two bedroom that comes to less than $900 a month, preferably in the $700 range but that seems rare with what I have looked at lately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There isn&apos;t much more to report, I&amp;nbsp;suppose. I just felt like complaining about the snow, which I usually adore.</description>

  <title>Starting over.</title>
  <link>http://femaleparadox.livejournal.com/2312.html</link>
  <description>Welcome back me. My last post to this journal had been made in&amp;nbsp;September of 2007 but I&amp;nbsp;decided to delete them all and start all over. I now have my own domain (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.itstiffanyanne.com&quot;&gt;www.itstiffanyanne.com&lt;/a&gt;) but that tackles public issues and I would like somewhere to gather my personal thoughts and experiences. I am hoping to begin blogging somewhat of a weight loss attempt and hopefully receive helpful feedback as well as personal issues that I&amp;nbsp;may come across or just something I&apos;d rather share in a less public place than a dot com gives me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me begin by updating on the current status of my life... &lt;br /&gt;I am now twenty-one years old and my daughter, Hayley Ana, is almost fifteen months old or one and a few months as I&amp;nbsp;often prefer to say since counting it in months does sound a little excessive to me aside from keeping track of milestones. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gary and I, the guy I&amp;nbsp;began dating in November of 2007, got back together on Valentine&apos;s Day. We broke up in April of 2008 because he was still in love with his girlfriend but a few short months after still acting like a couple, he told me he loved me and things were more geared for a relationship then so we finally succumbed and made it official again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After taking an eight week CNA training class, I&amp;nbsp;have become a CNA (or rather an NA because my certification is on hold due to a mistake that was made by the state) and now work at a Sunrise Senior Living Community in my area. I just started the job about three or four weeks ago but I&amp;nbsp;am enjoying it. I&amp;nbsp;work a little slowly which is frustrating to me and the bosses but they are confident that I&amp;nbsp;will get&amp;nbsp;faster so I think they are&amp;nbsp;giving me the chance to speed up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still live with my mother and stepfather though the situation has not become any better. Hayley and I&amp;nbsp;attempt to stay in my bedroom as often as possible but arguments still ensue. Tomorrow I&amp;nbsp;plan on calling three different apartments with perfect locations that I&amp;nbsp;came across to see if I&amp;nbsp;meet their income requirements. My move out date was set by my parents to be April but I am not quite sure that I&amp;nbsp;will have saved enough to move out by then, so they may add another month or two but the day is still definitely coming very soon &lt;em&gt;thankfully.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My father and I&amp;nbsp;are speaking again as of October and we see each other often. If a slight disagreement begins, his wife resolves it immediately so so far, all has been quite well. My daughter plays well with his oldest daughter and sometimes, they give me helpful advice or suggestions.</description>
