Last night was wonderful. Gray and I attended our community group from church and we had a great time.

Our group is reading through Searching for Significance and I have to say, it’s been an eye opener for me. I’m the type of person who struggles with perfectionism. I used to think I didn’t have it bad, but it turns out, I just have a different form of it than others.

The book talks a lot about dealing with failure, something I have a hard time doing, even if it something small. In the book, McGhee talks about how when we fail, sometimes we get angry at ourselves and blame God. I’m definitely guilty of doing this when things don’t go my way or how I think they should. He goes on to say that sometimes God allows circumstances to happen so we can see how Satan blinds us with deception.

I highly recommend the book because it’s been helpful for Gray and I both in learning more about how we work individually and as a team. We’ve also been doing a daily devotional before bed and I think it’s really helping us learn more about each other spiritually.

The weather here has turned cold and of course that means Thanksgiving is near and Christmas is not too far off as well. Last night we talked about how Christmas has changed so much. It’s so commercialized now and many people don’t recognize the true meaning of the Holiday. This year we’re being creative and frugal when it comes to gift giving. Because of all the blogs I read, I’m finding fantastic deals on various items. I love gift giving because I can use what I know about the person to give them a gift they will truly enjoy.

November has been passing by so quickly, probably because I have so much coming up in the next few weeks. There is Twilight this weekend as well as seeing my mother-in-law, Cathy. After that is Thanksgiving, a trip to Opryland to see their Christmas lights, and a few random things thrown around like parties and dinners. I love this time of the year.

So, today I thought I’d talk about work because not much else is going on in my world. I’m sure you guys are tired of hearing about the Titans and my novel.

I started working forChaCha back in October. I went through the application process, took two tests to qualify and then I was set free to answer questions. See, ChaCha is kind of like google. People text or call questions to ChaCha and get answers sent to their cell phones. However, ChaCha is completely run by humans. When you text a questions, a human (expeditor) edits your question and sends it to a generalist/specialist guide (What I do). I get a question and then I look up the answer and send it back with a source. It’s a really easy job and I like it because I learn something nearly everyday.

Recently ChaCha decided to limit the amount of questions a person can ask in a month to 20. They also implemented their specialist system. With it, I’m able to pick out categories and interests so I get specific questions that I know more about. This has been great because you can imagine the vulgar questions teenagers send in when they are bored. Also, do I really know how old you are? Not really.

So anyway, ever since these changes occurred, fellow guides have been complaining off the walls. This is because traffic has dwindled and there are system issues and errors. However, I choose to look at the positive point of view. I’m still making money, even if it is slowly and I’m not answering the stupid questions anymore. I have a job where I can stay at home and do chores while I wait. It is not the most perfect job, but I enjoy it. Plus, I feel like I’m using my degree (journalism) when I research.

They are currently not hiring, but if you’d like more information, feel free to email me.

So, because I have nothing else to talk about, lets talk Titans.

I first became a fan in 1999 when I was a freshman in high school. That year, my friends, the Titans went to the Superbowl and it was AMAZING, even if they lost.

This year, they remain the only undefeated team in the NFL. 10-0. As I watched the game yesterday online I felt my frustrating rising when they were SUCKING and was very excited at the end when they won.

I guess it’s a love/hate relationship with them for me. All I can say, is that we better be going to the Superbowl this year… however, I hope we win it a well. Last year, the guys who lost the Superbowl were undefeated and I smugly said,”There is no such thing as perfection, they must lose!” So I think I already screwed the Titans over for the Superbowl, but we’ll see.

GO TITANS!
