rambling like nobody's business

So today was a litte interesting, nothing too crazy or anything. Just slightly interesting. The store that I had put my application into called back a couple times. I had returned a couple phone calls but we just kept missing eachother. When I finally got ahold of someone, Linda is her name, it went completely different than I was imagining it being. I had an interview with a gentleman named Bobby, it was kind of different but he seemed very set on me working the morning shifts in the stockroom. That shift would be primarily 5:00am to 9:30am Monday through Friday. But some of the days when shipments were bigger I would stay until 12pm Which wouldn't be that bad. I talked it over with Mark though and I realized that it might not be the smartest decision I could make. I mean it wouldn't be so bad if things were a little different but in the current situation I dont think I should choose something that has the potential to put any of my relationships at odds. Okay but back to the conversation with Linda, once I finally got her oh the phone I told her who I was and she sounded excited to hear that it was me and she quickly added that she had my schedule for me. I told her that Bobby hadn't even gone over the pay or dress code or any sort of thing so I wasn't expecting that to be what the phone call was about. She apologized for the misunderstanding and told me that she thought Bobby had handled all those details. I said that was fine we all have momentary flubs of communication, it's a fact of life. She then told me that I was scheduled for Thurs 5:45pm to 9:45pm and the same on Friday and then that I was scheduled Saturday from 9am to 5:45pm. This surprised me because 1) it wasn't at all what Bobby had mentioned 2) it didn't even correspond completely with my initial input on my availability. Needless to say I was a bit taken aback, but then it hit me that it wouldn't have the same effect on my day to day life as the other schedule would so maybe I should give it a go. Plus I'm extremely interested in this at home business adventure but it does need a little funding and at this current moment I have no means to fund it with so I perhaps would have at least a little bit of money to start the ball rolling on what I really do want to do. . . . At this specific moment my mind is racing with ideas and possibilities on several different things and then my mind just runs off with something because if this one thing works out then maybe it'll lead to this other awesome thing that perhaps would eventually lead to that and yada yada yada, needless to say I've had one to many cups of coffee and feel a nap coming on ~*~if only this were la la land~*~

feels good to go through with a plan

I did it, with a litte encouragement from mama. But, I did it. I followed through with the rule I set down and right now the couch is in the garage. I got offline took the cushions off tilted it side ways and out the door I pushed. It was a little tricky dragging it around my car since it was parked so close to the garage door. But I did it. And now, there it sits. It's not coming back in either. I believe he is going to attempt to sell it. Which is fine with me as long as it doesn't come back in here. I didn't get a whole lot else done today. Still I feel rather accomplished simply for that. I have a meeting on thursday with an avon representative I'm going to become one :) who knows maybe I'll have a few relatives that would be interested in looking over the magazines every once in a while. . . . . just throwing it out there :) . . . . I'm still waiting for that clothing store to respond. They are waiting on their company who does their backround checks. They said they would call when they came in. I think I'll still give them a call on Friday if I haven't heard from them before then.

Sunday

Still waiting to hear back from the job. Last of the paper work needs to reviewed. . . . I tried getting a bit of things done today, but I realized I dont have everything I need. So, hopefully tomorrow I will get more done. I did however have a blast in the kitchen. I cleaned and reorganized it and having some free space I was inspired to make something random. I ended up making a quiche with ground beef, onions and potatoes, and a mock sheperds pie. The sheperds pie had ground beef, onions and carrots on the bottom and had mashed potatoes with cheese on top as the crust.

My hair is black now. I finally decided to just give it a go. I've realized that life is to short to put things off that you want to do. Even if it is as simple as dying your hair. If you can picture yourself later in life sayind 'I wish I would have done that' then do it.

New Job

Today was an interesting day. I woke up early, by early I mean before the baby. I showered made some coffee checked my mafia wars on facebook. I did all this at my own pace, in the quiet. It was close to surreal. I realized that I've missed such events. I put in an online application for a clothing store last week and yesterday they called me for an interview today at 10:30am. I showed up 15 mins early and was told I could wait in the break room for the interview to begin. It was quite interesting. There were 5 other employees there, all whom were on their breaks. I didn't feel like just throwing myself into their conversation so I pulled out my wallet bible and began reading it. I couldn't help but overhear their conversation though, I continued reading as the discussion was about the previous assistant manager being let go along with a few employees because they were selling drugs during and after business hours. I began to think to myself if this was the place to apply. As I finished the last prayer in the wallet bible the manager on duty came into the room and said that he was ready. I walked into the back room to have a one on one interview. It went pretty well, we both had worked in another clothing store at different times. So we had some stuff in common. He seemed pleased with the fact that I actually preferred to work in the early mornings. He offered me a position in the stockroom where most of the shift would be before store hours. The interview came to a close on a good note and I was informed that I'd hear back on Friday about more details of the schedule and such. Now that I'm home and writing about it I have a mix of emotions, excitement mostly because I'd like to get out of the house a little, but he made it sound like it was serious work, which makes me hesitant. Although I've done very similar work at the other clothing store I was employed at. We shall see, I think I should at least give it a go. I could at least work enough to get my crafting up and going.

Photobucket


Sometimes there is nothing like a little cuddle time.

Photobucket

There's nothing like sisterly love. I never get tired of seeing the girls together, every day it makes me so happy just to see those cute little faces together.

AHH

So it has been far too long since I have posted anything on here. I was just talking with my mom about this. I have such a bad habit of saving stuff unti 'tomorrow' that I end up never getting around to it. Even with stuff that makes me happy. On This 3day of August 18th at this hour of 1:33pm I do declare that I will work harder and stick to a much healthier schedule.
