Hi! I'm new here...

Hi! I'm Elizabeth... I'm new here.
I've decided to start a blog on here instead of using the one on Myspace. I found out a lot of people I went to high school and college had them so I decided to join the craze. I'm not guaranteeing that I'll write on here regularly, but I'm sure going to try my hardest. I'm also not going to guarantee that everything I post will be interesting, but it most likely will mean something to me. So on to my first post...

Well I just finished my 5th week at Cox Custommedia. I absolutely love it there! I am working there through a temp agency and cannot wait to get hired on through Cox. I'm a formatter (aka Layout Designer). I sit at a Mac all day long and design calendars and newsletters for Assisted Livings throughout the US, Canada, and parts of Europe. I'm just designing marketing tools for 2 different assisted living companies This past week has been really hard though. August is a really busy month for the company because so many projects are due for September. Monthly calendars are due, of course, but then quarterly calendars and quarterly and bimonthly newsletters are due as well. So in order to get everything in on time, we're working 9 hour days Monday through Friday, as well as 9 hour days on Saturdays. That's 54 hours a week and they are encouraging us to work more. That's a lot of working, but luckily I like my job and my paycheck isn't going to stink either. :)

On a happier note, my God-daughter Brianna Elizabeth Keasler was born on Monday! She was born on 8/6/2007 (just missed my birthday by a day!) and weighed 7lbs. 3 ozs. She was 20 inches long. She was ready to come, but Mommy's body wasn't so they had to perform an emergency c-section. LeeAnn and her beautiful daughter are at home now and everything is a-ok. They went to the doctor today and Brianna checked out great. I love that baby girl! I know I love a lot of babies, but there's just some connection I have with Brianna. I mean she's like my niece and is kinda like a namesake. She shares my name and was kinda named after me, but there are a lot of other people in her family named Elizabeth too. I just love her and her mommy so much! Click here to see some pictures of Brianna.

Well I need to get some sleep. Gotta work a lovely 9 hour day tomorrow. :(
