Contemplating

I've been doing alot of thinking lately, about my past, and that is something I have been repressing for awhile now. I've made alot of unsavory choices in my life and I am not proud of most of them, but they have given me the options of becoming who I am now.
I wonder, where would I be now if I had just done a couple things differently? For those of you who don't know I have been engaged twice, both when I was about 18 and 19, and I find myself wondering...what if? What if I had married Jason when I was 18 what would my life be like right now? Would I have kids? Or would I have gone through a seriously messy divorce?
Then there is Brian, I think about him and I am seriously thankful that that one ended, he was a controlling jerk who treated me like a piece of property rather then a woman.
I wonder about what kind of person I would be now if I hadn't made some of my more desperate mistakes. I may not be proud of my choices in the past but I believe that the character-building experiences that I went through really improved my outlook on things, but still I find myself wondering...what if?
What if I hadn't ever started doing the things that I knew were bad for me but I still decided that it would be "cool" to do them, or an even scarier thought...what if I hadn't quit?
The answer to that one is clear to me, if I hadn't turned my life around and quit doing the stupid, reckless, dangerous things that I was doing, I'd be dead.
I've had alot of time to think about all this lately and I'm grateful for all the experiences I've gone through, good and bad, because everything up to and including now, has made me who I am today.
So allow me to introduce myself to you,
I am Sara D, I am 22 years old, and I live at home with my mom and dad in MT. I have had many jobs, my most recent being a year and a half at walmart as a cashier.
I love to sing and dance, and read. I love to go shopping with my friends and spend time with my boyfriend, Eric. I am by no means perfect, but I am me and anyone who can't accept that can turn around and catch the door.
I know this was a super random blog, don't really know where it came from, I'll post more laterz.
Love you all,
Sara D.

Twilight!!!!!!

So as I'm sure you guessed from the title I finally went and saw Twilight, and I absolutely loved it!!!!!!!! They did such a great job on it, the Cullen family was PERFECT!!!!! I thought the most gorgeous character by far was Emmet he was delicious, although James could hang, for a bad guy he was gorgeous.
I was super impressed with the whole thing though, everything down to the ballet studio, and the schools. I cannot wait to see it again. OMG...I just fell in love with it. I can't wait for New Moon to come out and see how wonderful that was is.
In other news I am still currently job searching and hoping that something comes out of this search. I am really missing my walmart family lately though. I never realized how much I cared about all of them till I didn't get to see them anymore. I went in the other day to take my New Moon and Eclipse books in for my friend Eva's mom Tina to read, and I got stopped every other footstep I swear with people asking me what happened to me and if I was going to come back when my sixty days is up and I told them I don't know. I do know however that my contacts list in my phone book has like tripled in size since I quit lol apparently I was very much loved there.
Well thats about all for now I will post more soon.
Hugs,
Sara D.

Job hunt...day 1.

So today I decided to get my rear in gear right away to look for a new part time job. I went to the mall and put applications in almost every single store there and I'm hoping something comes from that, but my friend Becky is going to pick me up tomorrow and we are going to put out more applications in tomorrow so I will hopefully have a new job soon.
It felt so weird to go into walmart today and see the long lines and not have to start stressing out. It was another day filled with tears and hugs when I ran into some of the people I hadn't gotten to tell yet. I got alot of new phone numbers and promises to hang out and keep in touch. The worst goodbye for me was probably the CSM's, I really am going to miss the people, but I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to get to know all of them, I have made some wonderful life long friendships. I am so excited to begin this new chapter in my life.

I'm free!!!!!

So I went to go into work tonite and when I got there my assistant manager pulled me in the back room and told me that my absences were getting pretty bad again and that they would have to take the coaching process which in this case would mean termination, I then promptly quit.
I am actually kinda relieved if that makes any sense. I have been pretty unhappy there for awhile now and this is going to be a nice hiatus. Brian would like me to come reapply in 60 days so he can rehire me. He told me my job will always be open for me and he would for sure rehire me when the time comes that I am ready to return.
So for now I am going to find a part-time job to have an income then go back to walmart after a few months when I can handle it again.
Things with Eric and I are going great, he really truly is a blessing to me, I feel so amazed to have gotten lucky enough to have a man who treats me so well and makes me feel so good about myself.
I'm kinda nervous about not working at walmart, I mean I have been there for so long and am so used to the routine of it, but it will be good for me to do something different for awhile. I am really going to miss my walmart family I mean they have been so amazing to me for so long and have helped me through some of the worst times in my life. It's so hard to imagine not seeing them everyday now. There were a lot of tears when I told everyone and a lot of hugs.
I'm also going to apply for the next semester of college at msu in bozeman, I have a couple of friends up there who said I could stay with them until I could get established up there, so there is an option and so is UofM in missoula I have some friends up there too. I am really excited to start a new chapter of my life and hopefully someday soon I can walk back into my walmart and have everyone be proud of what I have done with myself. I am going to take this as an oppertunity to better myself. I wont let this break me, I can survive through this. So like I said in the title I'm Free and I can do this!!!!!!!
Hugs and Kisses,
Sara D.

Voiceless in Montana

So I woke up this morning feeling sicker then a dog, I lost my voice and I have a high fever. So I called in to work and now I have a whole night off. I called Eric to tell him I wasn't gonna make it in to work and he told me that it made him sad that he wasn't going to get to see me today. He is so sweet. I am so lucky to have him in my life. Recently I have had a few ex boyfriends try and pop back up into my life and I hung out with one of them the other day and all it did was make me realize how happy I am with Eric and how lucky I am to have him. I am so amazed that this wonderful man is in my life and wants to be with me. When I met Eric I wasn't looking for a boyfriend I was just loooking for a friend, and I never would've expected that Eric and I would end up like this, I am so amazed and honestly very excited to see how things progress between us. I had all but given up on relationships before we started hanging out. I wanted nothing to do with them at all I was to the point that I thought that relationships were a waste of time, and as soon as I stopped looking for it, it found me. I am so excited that everything is going so well for me other then being sick. I am starting to go job hunting here soon too. I need to get out of walmart. well thats it for now talk to y'all later.
Lot's of Love,
Sara D.

And...on to number three

So work absolutely sucked tonight, I get there and everyone is in a bad mood and to top it off we are busy as heck so I jump right on into it and then I have nothing but jerk off customers. I'm just wondering since when is it considered correct social decorum to treat a perfect stranger like they are a piece of garbage that you can step on? I was under the impression that it was wrong to mistreat anyone let alone someone you don't know. I mean seriously how is it okay to tell someone you don't know that they are useless or worthless or dumb? My self esteem has taken a severe beating since I started working there and it's only getting worse. I know I shouldn't listen to what people say I mean chances are I'm never going to see any of them ever again so my should I worry what they think of me? What does it really matter? I absolutely hate that I'm so sensitive because I'm always getting hurt or let down. I wish I could be tough and not care but sometimes it gets so overwhelming when you try not to care. Eric is pretty worried about me after tonight because I had a few issues with a couple of the overnight supervisors and I ended up in the back room by claims crying and he walked past and saw me even though I was hiding in a corner, he came up to me and hugged me and asked me what was wrong and I wouldn't even tell him I just wiped my eyes and went in the bathroom and fixed my make up. Thats another thing thats upsetting me is my overwhelming paranoia of getting hurt, I can't even open myself up to be cared for by Eric because of what other men have put me through I have these walls up that I can't seem to tear down. Maybe with time I will be able to and hopefully it's not too late, I really don't want to lose him.
Well I am exhausted and I am going to bed now I will post more soon.
Hugs, kisses, and lot's of love going to everyone,
Sara D.

Two days in a row woo hoo I'm on a roll

So I was just sitting here being bored and I decided to post another blog. I really don't know what this one is about but I'll just make it up as I go.

I start working my four pm to 1 am shifts today and I am really not looking forward to it except that I get to spend a little bit more time with Eric he's gonna be picking me up before work and then he wants to spend lunch with me and hang out after work.

I am really starting to get frustrated with things at work because I work my rear end off and I seem to get absolutely nowhere for it. I know how to work almost every department in the store and I continue to be stuck where I am at, while people who have not been with the company nearly as long as me or who don't work nearly as hard as I do and moving up in the company and I just hate watching it. Granted I am happy for everyone who is able to move up and progress I just wish that I could.

Anyways, my dad got the tire on the van fixed and the only other damage was that I lost the hubcap for the tire and he would like me to go look for it. Well I have to get ready to go to work now so I will update more later on.

Lot's of love,
Sara D.

I suck at keeping this thing updated

So here's whats new with me. I am still working at walmart but they have been training me out in automotive so I am thinking that after the holidays that I might move departments because I have alot of fun out there. I am also seeing someone new, we have been hanging out for the last month almost every nite and we are getting along great. He's really sweet and he is always telling me I am beautiful. His name is Eric he is 22 and we have alot in common. He makes me laugh and I'm really happy with a guy for the first time since Bobby and I broke up last march or may whatever it was I don't really care anymore.
Eric and I met at work about three or four months ago and we started talking on occasion when we'd see eachother and slowly the conversations started getting longer and longer until one day I decided to give him my phone number and when I didn't hear from him after a week I figured thats that.
Well one night I was with my friend Jessica getting ready for the buckcherry concert and out of the blue he texted me and asked if I wanted to hang out after the show. So we met up and went to the Circle Inn to do some karoke and Jessica wanted to go home so she took Eric back to his car and he asked if I still wanted to hang out...and I did so we drove around for awhile and when he took me back home......he kissed me!
Now he stops by every night after he gets off work even if it's just to give me a good night kiss.
Every day before he clocks in at 4 he finds what register I'm on so he can say hi and give me a hug and then I go to the backroom to say goodbye to him before I go home.
In other news I got into my first snow realted car wreck on tuesday when I was coming home from Laurel the interstate was really icy and I went into the median but the only thing that happened was that I ripped the tire off the rim and it just needs popped back on and pilled and balanced. Other that that I have no news. I will really try to keep this thing updated more often I love you all.
