Ch-ch-changes

The times, they are a-changin'.  In good ways, of course!
I didn't talk too much about my last company, but most of you know that:
A. They're a Fortune 500 medical company.
B. We parted ways last Summer...and not under wonderful circumstances.
C. They sucked the life out of me for the seven and a half years I was there.

Really, I didn't realize how unhappy I was until I was gone.  Don't get me wrong - there are some absolutely amazing people there.  People who made me smile, and I very much hope I get to work with again someday. But there were some folks that I'm thankful I never have to see again.

And, that's all I'm going to say about that.

What being on the outside of the medical word made me realize is that I want to work on the INSIDE of the medical world. 

Monday I take my first step in making that happen.  I'll be doing a one month program to become a CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant)/HHA (Home Health Aide), then in the fall of 2013 I plan to go through an LPN program.

I've told you that I've been volunteering with a dachshund rescue, right?! Right!  Well, I've been given the opportunity to adopt a new puppy.  Which, it goes without saying, I said "yes" to immediately.

There are nine puppies in the litter, and I get 4th choice.

Her name is Destiny.

His name is Brady.

I was told to pick a few pups just in case adopters 1-3 pick my first choice.  These are two of my choices.  And, yes....I will be asking you for input on names once I know which little love I'm getting!!

If you follow me on Twitter, you probably noticed this already, but I am seriously considering changing my blog name.

Unfortunately...I don't know to what.  A few ideas are "Life is Wien-derful", "Isn't Life Wien-derful" and "Ahead of the Pack".  I could really use your creativity and ideas.  Lay 'em on me!
