A lot of you already know that I work in my family's business. (4th generation at that). It is a retail shop and has been so rocky...from not getting paid for weeks at a time to just scraping by...I have seen it all here. I went back to school full time and am very fortunate that my dad still pays me for the 8 hours a week I am not actually in the shop.

We have a Trader Joe's opening up the street from my house after the first of the year and I plan on getting a job there...as many hours as possible...to try to get ahead again after having to blow through my savings over the last two years.

Luckily I can study at work when there isn't anything going on....and trust me, there ain't a lot happening in the oriental rug business right now!

I am very blessed to have what I have...but I sure can't wait to get out of this business and go to work for an engineering or architectural firm where I hope to have stable income!

March 2012!
